With dramatic intensity the Zion
leader began his recital of the facts be-
hind the letters. Now that this has
come before the world" he said, Il
had better tell the story. [ had deter
mined long ago that if ever it must
come out, wherever I was, no matter
what the assemblage, I should tell my
story.
MY mother was noble woman. She
was greatly beloved by the priyates
and officers of one of the foremost reg
iments Of the British army. Our home
was near the post Of the regiment. My
people had been connected with the
army for centuries. l supposed | was
the son of John Murray Dowie, who
now lives in Essex, Ia, and | never
ceased to wonder how he could have
been my father. He was mean and
hypocritical, and as the years rolled on
he grew worse. had no sympathy for
him.
''For many years L did not see John
/, Murray Dowie Then evil times came
upon him and at my own expense 1
brought him from Australia and gave
him a home in my house. One day he
became ill. He dared not call upon
God to save him, and as | was passing
lis door he called me in. He asked my
help, and I said: 'YOuwill never recOv-
or nor will God ever hear you because
! your religion has been a sham" Then
Dowie told how he had prayed for his
supposed father and Saved him from
dying. Then John Murray DOwie gave
him the papers that told him who he
was, and how his mother had been
tricked ''Had I known of it twenty
years before he said he would have
secured his fright place in the world.
"For there is no doubt that her mar
riage to the scoundrel, John Murray
Dowie, was invalid. And the Scotch
marriage could never have been in
validated. and | was the rightful son
of my father. What that place might
have been is not for me to say. l
shall never seek. it, for if it carried
with it the finest ducal cOrOnet in the
United Kingdom / would not want to
change it for the office hold and the
ministry l minister to God"
The last words, pronounced with
solemnity over the great still garden,
fell on the audience like an irrevocable
dictum, and in few seconds a great
pburst of applause greeted the speaker
He then declared that his father led
one Of the great charges in the Crime
an war and died like a soldier at the
head Of his troops. At the close OF
the address Dowie pronounced this
benediction:
God look down upon the irresponsi-
BILE band of criminals who write the
papers and publish their lies and have
mercy on them. Have mercy, oh God
and grant grace to the country and
may it muzzle, and if needs be, de-
stroy, the newspapers"
