which he became in 1892 the official
head, he found himself confronted
with the almost impossible task Of
keeping it from failing at a time
when its failure would have meant
nearly universal distress and disaster
in the community in which it was
situated. Early in the course of af-
fairs it became evident that whatever
might be his degree of success in this
attempt. his own fortune would be
wrecked in the undertaking, al
though there was a time, after the
shrinkage in values had gone so far as
to point to probable disaster, when he
might have sold his interest and re.
tired from the trust with compare
lively small personal loss. but at the
risk of affecting the reputation of the
bank in such way as greatly To i'm
pair its prestige and probably to pre-
cipitate its failure. Under these cir
cumstances he believed it to be his
duty, not only to the owners of the
other ninety six and half per cent
of the stock. but to the city and state
ito stand to bis guns" as the saying
is. and, at the fearful cost already
mentioned he pursued this course I'M
til the end. That he should receive
any material reward for his services
was out OF the question:; that he was
criticised, traduced, and wrOngfully,
though ignorantly accused, by many
persons for whose advantage and well
being he ''spurned delights and lived
labOrious days" he well knew, and
that knowledge was thOusandfOld
harder to bear from the fact that cir
cumSianceS forbade him to utter a
word of excuse or eXtenuation in his
own behalf; and today, it is as certain
as any human being can be, that
there are hundreds Of families and
thousands Of persons in this city and
state, living in prosperity and con-
tentment who would have been
plunged into restitution and distress,
bad he failed or faltered in his duty.
In this connection / may mention
one other trait which was, perhaps,
his most prominent characteristic,
namely, the particular quality which
St. Paul appraises as the chief or
Christian virtues. To say that he
ever forgot or entirely forgave what
be believed to be a wanton or mali
cious injury would be to place him
upon pedestal too high fer human
occupancy But, his disposition was
such that he seldom or never accused
bitterly and that he conceded to
Others the same consideration for the
faults and foibles, the weaknesses and
shortcomings common to humanity.
OF which he felt that he stood in need
himself.
He felt and resented the sting OF
ingratitude and the wounds OF in
Justice and detraction as they are

his inclination was, even when he
was himself the victim, to seek some
ground for extenuation and TO attrib-

those things which tend to enlighten

incarnated spirit of Elijah riding down
the centuries to emulate the example of the
Master.
The departure of Or Dowie was re-
plete with theatrical and unusual Incl
dents. After having played the stellar role
in a series of farewell addresses, services
and receptions that would have fatigued a
much younger man, he rose early to-day,
apparently as fresh as a flower. Lieuten-
ants and intimates on the business staff of
his various enterprises then gathered for

avenue, a small crowd of devotees slowly
gathered. Some wept while others mumbled
applications. The morbidly curious, the
scoffer and those who have had occasion
10 curse the name or DOWlelsm, through
broken homes, or the death of those dear
to them, were on hand, too.
Farewell messages of the favored of Zion
were received by Dowie and his party in
their drawing room. They later held an in
formal reception in the rotunda of the
hotel. The lesser lights of the party were
quietly whisked away TO the railway sta
ton, a block distant, and then, accompa-
MED by guards" elders and 'deacons,"
the head of Zion, his wife. cousin and sis
ter-in-law made their way through the
crowd and were rapidly driven 10 the Park

brief farewell address. Tears were shed I'm
plenty, but one woman burst through the
crowd in quite a different spirit.
"''Plunderers and impOstors can ride in
Style" she cried, pointing at the richiy
caparisoned Pullman coaches. You rob the
poor and take comforts from the sick"
The woman was interrupted by a Zion
guard, who hustled her TO one side, where a
number of volunteer missionaries attempt
ed 10 show her the evil of her ways.
In the outskirts of the crush, with arms
folded and in sullen silence, stood Edward
Flanders, whose wife died a year ago under
the ministrations Of Dowieites, two OF
whom were arrested on the charge of caus-
ing her death. Flanders said naught, but
his eye followed Dowie like that OF a hawk.
