Heaven. Schweinfurth was born at
Marion county. Ohio, in 1853. his carly
years being passed in the company of
mere mortals. In his youth his avowed
aim was to take the life of Jesus
Christ as model for his own career.
When young man he entered tho
Methodist ministry on probation, but
gradually became conscious, he says,
that neither the orthodox churches nor
their ministers could satisfy his aspira-
tons. While stationed In Alpcna,
Mich. Schweinfurth became acquaint-
ed with a woman named Dora Beck
man. who was conducting a mission
there. Her permanent home was In
Byron. south NJ this city. where she
ministered to congregation who
aimed at life OF actual holiness. q
religion that was not acceptable to the
popular churches of that town.
He attended the mission and came to
believe In the practicability Of man te-
coming the image and counterpart of
God. Mrs. Beekman was the first
preacher he had heard that satisfied
him, and he went to Byron and be-
came associated with her in her pas
torate. This connection continued un-
til her death. in 1882. when he estab-
lished his Heaven south Of this city
and not far from Byron. Schweinfurth
claims that Mrs. Beekman was made
to know by an inner illumination that
she was the woman clothed in white
described In the Revelations. the spir-
itual mother OF Christ In his second
coming. and she was further assured
that he was indeed the Messiah. She
announced the fact to the people, and
at her death he succeeded to the
throne.

Thirty Years Hard Luck.
AN OLD SOLDIERS TALE AND ITS
SEQUEL.
Good Fortune Comes to y Michigan Vet
cram After Years OF Suffering.
From the Journal, Detroit, Mich

FROM tNe OoUTNUf, BeVON, ~btCWs
Many fine constitution has been com.
pletely shattered from the effects of exposure
and want of care during the late war, and
many a man has carried through life bur
den of disease and suffering which in many
eases is incurnble, but now and then rare
exception occurs, and some old soldier is
made grateful and happy in the possession Of
a remedy which takes away the old trouble
and makes him feel young again.
Mr.. Bennet NJ. Metler, Of Maybee, Mich,
is man in the prime of life, of fine physique
and of evident education and refinement.
He was member of Company !, l4th Penn.
sylvana Cavalry, and served three years in
the late war.
For nine months he was confined III An.
dersonville Prison, sleeping out in the open
air without covering and very little food
until so reduced that his mind was nearly
blank, he was dreadfully crippled with rheu.
matism and with heart failure to add to his
| comfort.
For thirty years this rheumatism and
heart difficulty clung around him, not con-
tinually but coming and going ut short in.
tervals.
About nine months ago he read Of won.
derful cure, Of some gentleman in Canada, Of
| rheumatism by the use Of DIR. Williams
Pink Pills. They were also recommended
to him by friend and he determined to
try them.
Almost Immediately he began to improve.
He continued taking them until he had used
four boxes. 1t has been over six months
since he has had any symptom of either rheu.
matism or heart trouble and he believes his
cure is due entirely to the wonderful remedy
us he took no other at the same time.
"SOu can for me give them good recon.
mendation," said Mr.. Metler. "and hope
some of my old comrades will see the story
and will try them, for know they will be
benefited"
