Mr. Branch hopes soon to begin the
erection of a temple. where his disciples

ing things in common. His meetings
were formerly held in a school house,

thorities. and now they are held in the
home OF one of his followers. His
teachings have reused much opposition
among the church people. Several
members of the Advent church have
become believers in his doctrines.
