An era OF good feeling has begun
to make It's appearance among the vari-
Gus denominations protesting Chris
tianfty. IL Is now not an infrequent
occurrence in any OF the large cities TO
see priests OF the Methodist, Presby-
terian. Catholic, Baptist churches, etc,
In conference discussing reform topics.
But Just as this happy state of affairs
begins 10 show on the horizon of the
church world. j. Alexander Dowie has
made his appearance at the head of a
sect which threatens ia grow into great
proportions under the title of the Zion.
Zion has set its face against all other
denominations and has begun the con-
struction of the city OF Zion on the
banks OF Lake Michigan. The rapid
strides being made by Dowieism has
surprised church men generally. The
real secret seems to be in its social and
cooperative features, One of the cor
ner-stones is bank to which members
may bring their money and check it
out at pleasure. This feature may be
adopted by other churches.
