Dowie gave statistics in an effort to
show that the mortality among lions
disciples was far below the percentage
given by the city health department.
He then made an attack on the press
in general. During one of his out
bursts an elderly man arose and was
quietly walking toward the door when
Dowie shouted: "Ah, There goes a
coward He's been hit" The man
turned and pointing his finger at the
speaker, cried: NO, sir; your har-
angue is merely tiresome."
