How Inspiration Came to Dowis.

An interesting account of how Dowie,
rthe prophet, found his vocation is given
by I. K. Friedman in the November
Everybody's:
zone night, in Melbourne, there swept
over his consciousness like an inspira-
ton the full force of the sixteenth
chapter of ST. Mark-'He that believeth
and is baptized shall be saved.
In my name shall they cast out devils.
They shall lay hands on the
sick, and they shall recover His
Imagination was fired with the idea
that he was the prophet foretold by
Malachi, and on this inspiration he
founded what Is supposititiously new
in his creed and built the foundation of
his really immense fortune. He laid
hands on his wife's head, prayed, and
cured her of headache, and then, as
wit will have it, he proceeded to lay
hands on everybody and everything
else Those who know Dowie say that
from early life he had visions and
that he manifested all those symptoms
which the alienist would put under the
general head of religious hysteria'; IL
this be so, it would offer plea for his
sincerity His wife and others cured,
and the legions of the faithful increas-
ing by virtue of these proofs of mirac-
ulous powers. Dowie at once started
to form the Divine Healing Association,
which developed later on into the larger
organization of the International DIVINE
Healing Association, with Dowie for It's
president"

strange occurrence, WiIloughby, and
my reluctance to discuss it arises from
a doubt that long familiarity with the
circumstances has not made it i'm
possible for me to give to each its
proper weight. I am in constant fear
of coming upon a weakness which I
have overlooked in the chain, and yet
it would be a relief to discover such a
flaw. 1 should have called in an ex-
pert at once. I should have Sought
the counsel of detectives: and such
, would unquestionably have been my
course had not those most interested
dissuaded me. Young Carhart's father
telegraphed me: Say nothing to auth
critics. Disappearance satisfactorily
explained. And, at that time, that
was enough. 1t was not till some
months later that learned the family
were theosophists, a sect to which
nothing is so satisfactory as the in
applicable. I have, myself, no theory
to advance. The man, my guest, was

gone from the room where the only
openings were a grlled window and a
guarded door. His overcoat and hat
