'ou are taking the place Of the Son
rod"
Pretty Girls His Followers.


Mr. Sanford Introduced to me two
young girls who had left society, given
uD their home and friends and incomes
10 join his fold. They are Miss Guptil and
Miss Mary Guptil of Portland, Ne. They
are both beau ties, and seem completely
under the spell of Mr.. Sandfords weird
cult.
Miss Mary Gupdl intends to accompany
the leader to Jerusalem. She is a tall,
dark-eyed, pink checked girl, with a great
deal of grace and refinement
God spoke 10 me through Mr. Sand
ford" she said. land I cast myself at his
feet I have given up all l possess, and
have done ii willingly. My only regret IS
that l have nothing more to give. / do
not know where my next meal is coming
from or where / will get my clothes But
I have no fear about that Mr. Sand
ford's example has filled me with faith
and he has introduced me to the Holy
Ghost
The Holy Ghost goes with me every
where, and when l want anything he
knows my needs and goes about fulfilling
them. Not long ago everybody at The
Shiloh school needed rubbers. So We all
prayed for rubbers and in a week we got
a consignment of them. 1855
1t was the same way with shoes. We
needed them soreiy, but we had no money
So we prayed. In a few days a 5 o.
we were in need of shoes and what sizes
we required.
Got Carpets the same Way.
1T was the same way with carpets Mr..
Sanford knows just how to ask for these
things. We needed them badly and he
prayed: we need carpets, God, and we
need en- badly. Please send EN- along,
and send them quick They came.
Then he prayed for chairs to use while
we were here in Boston holding three
meetings. Those haven't come yet but
they Will. l believe in Mr. Sanford. and
in God and the Holy Ghost, and III fol-
low wherever they say, and | shall go to
Jerusalem. l don't know why, but God
will tell Mr.. SANFORD
The younger Miss Guptil is even more
beautiful than her sister; but she has Civ
en- up everything to follow Mr.. Sandford
and his cause.
Il am grieved to think of the separa-
ton between us" she said' when my
sister SHAH Start for Jerusalem, but since
God has spoken / shall have<to suffer it."
"Why don't you go, too?"
Because | haven't been called. The
Holy Ghost has not found the wherewiJha,
for me to go, or there is something else
for me to do here"
What is your work2'
Anything; everything. l Try to win
girls and save them from the world and
worldly occupations, whether Vi be bus
mess or society. and get them TO join our
fo,d, and anything efse that has to be
done. 1 have scrubbed floors" Miss Cup
III extended pair of dainty white hands
but I'm willing TO, when the Holy Ghost
says for me 10 do it."
His Magnetic Eyes.
The Guptl girls are only samples of Mr..
Sandford's followers. His magnetic gray
eyes are working wonders among the i'm
pressionable women of Boston. and his
hypnotic, persuasive voice is raised in
suppMcat.on for them to leave their fani-
lies, their homes, their means of livelihood
and follow him and the Holy Ghost to the
ends OF the earth.
Mr.. SANFORD bases his beliefs on the
sixth chapter of Matthew, 1913: Take
no thought, saying, What shall we eat?
or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal
shah we be clothed? But seek We
first the kingdom of God, and His right
eousness; and all these things shall be
added unto YOU
Mr.. Sanford denies, however, that the
kingdom of God can be found in ones
own home or in ones own walk of fife
or anywhere. in fact, except within his
fold and under his mana cement.
And most of ALL" he adds decidedly
ut cannot he found in the modern church
nor under the guidance of the hypocrftes
who can themselves Christians"
