Such Are Said To Be the Earnings of
John Dowie.

From the Brooklyn Eagle.
Most remarkable of all the faith heal
ers, prophets or "Messiahs' who have
rushed to the rescue of a sinful world In
the last half century is Rev. John Alex
andcr Dowie of Zion City, Ill, general
overseer of Zion, as he calls himself, or
Elijah, the Restorer; for he claims to be
the reincarnation of Elijah the prophet
or to be more exact, the third reincar-
nation, for the first Elijah was caught up
to heaven in a whirlwind, and the second,
John the Baptist, was beheaded.
He is remarkable first for the size OF
mis- fortune for he has accumulated as
sets estimated by outsiders at $1,000 600
in ten years on a capital Of nothing.
He is remarkable for the number of his
followers, and for his hold upon them.
No fewer than 100000 persons, scattered
throughout the world, profess faith in DR..
Dowie.
But the most remarkable Of all is the
method by which he has accomplished
this Starting in as an obscure, penniless
faith healer in a little cottage on the
South Side in Chicago, ten years ago he
began preaching to a little band in a
cheap hall. Soon he had enough of a
following and enough contributions to be
able to hire the Auditorium, Chicagos
largest and handsomest theater. for his
Sunday services. He has been holding
meetings there ever since, haranguing
crowds of 5000 people at every meeting.
His harangues are made up chiefly of
wild rawlings against the Roman Catholic
church, the Freemasons, doctors and
druggists, and especially against news
papers. 1t seems incredible that fren-
zied TRADE against newspapers-"the Vi
per press" Rev. John Alexander Dowie
calls them-should make man want to
give up his last dollar to Rev. John Alex
ander Dowie; but It does.
