 Dowe brought forward a big bundle
 of newspaper clippings containing
 the charges which have been made
 against him and proceeded to den!
 them one after another. He was par
 ticularly vehement concerning the ac
 cusation that he had bankrupted th'
 members of his church, and appealed

 | The faithful were so overwhelmed by this evidence of generosity that the statement was followed by applause which lasted for several moments. The | charge that many people died in Zion who would have been saved with ncdi- cal aid was next taken up. Am I responsible" he asked. flor | the death of every man or woman who may die in zion?"
 "No." was the unanimous reply. But I would not be afraid 10 accept even that responsibility" he went on. Tn seven years out of 500 baies born in Zion, we have lost only three mot}.- CTS Even in our divine healing home where people are brought in, dying. the deaths do not amount to half of tine average death rate of the city of Chi ciga and not one-twentieth of that of any hospital in the city. Last year Mercy hospital lost 10 per cent. of it's patients by death Zion has not had 100 dead people out of the 15,000 who have entered it's walls to be treated. And I want to say that the average health of our people is, when compared to that of those in any other part of the United States, wonderful tribute to our methods.
 What is the result?' Shaking his fist and marching rapidly back and forth on tie platform. Why, these doctors, druggists and other devils who are afraid that their craft is in dang 1T, are combined to break up this organi- zation and kill me, even if they have to commit murder to do it. l thank God their craft is in danger.
 And why this recent outbreak? Be- cause a woman died in Zion without medical attendance. I wonder what size volume they would have to make to include list of the victims that died the day Mrs. Judd died, with doctors bending over them"
 Referring to this connection to Mrs. Judd's death, Dowie read 2 letter from Judd thanking him for his efforts to save the woman's life and thgr de- clared that an autopsy would reveal the fact that the patient died through the bursting of a blood vessel
 nyNoe rocpppSib1o thnto I God Almighty? My Bible tells me that in the case of Lazarus Jesus Himself failed to save These newspapers are brutal, shameful liars when they dare to state that either Deacon Judd or myself remained unmoved over this woman's sufferings. We both wept bitterly over her bed.
 Two days ago, not three blocks from where I stand, seven doctors stood ovHr a prominent woman of this city while she died under the knife. My people, do you want a fate like that?"
 "No!" came back the answer from every part of the house.
 Can you be born without the aid of ooctor?"
 Yes"
 Gan you live without doctor?"
 Yes"
 ought yon not to be allowed to die | without doctor if you want to?"
 Yes"
 Then occurred a most rem arkable | demonstration, showing to the full ex tent the power which DoWie posses 5es over his converts.
 'I want every woman in zion," said Dowie "to listen to this question and reply to it instantly. If you knew you were going to die with your next child, would you wish to have a doctor by your beside?"
 At least 600 women rose and screamed: "No! no! mol"
 At this Dowie waved his arms tri- You call that fanat- cism?" he said tThen, you liars and logs of the press, you villainous, dis .orted creatures, who call yourselves medical men, make the most of it. If t is fanaticsm to believe what God caches, we are fanatics"
 Dowie then referred to his business and said that he was not to acknowledge that under lis leadership Zion was to-day worth several million dollars. There is not mother bank in this city" he con- inued, that could have stood up un- Ter the attacks of the press during the ,ast week like Zion's bank has done. But what is the result of all those in amous lies about us? Our deposits
