Waterbury evening Democrat., 1903-10-16

New YOrK ln our TaDeTnacle. We nave trained the host in it's work. We have in all 5000 volunteers in all parts of the world under VOW to obey should I call on them for service. Only 5000 have been Ordered to New York.
 ''Zion restoration host will visit ev- cry home in the city. The work will be hard in New York because of the high fiat buildings, but Elder Lee, who is the recorder of the host, has perfected every plan. He will explain everything to you"
 Afterward Elder Lee explained. I saw maps of New York, in printed sec tions, and each section was allotted to 8 commander of seventy and subdi- vided among the captains of tens. Each morning while the host remains in New York it will attend the half past 6 o'clock morning services, then take breakfast, and each captain of ten will lead his party into his district. He will take street and cover three sides of each block facing that street for many blocks Having started his ten to work, the captain will station himself on the corner of the next block and perhaps hold short service until that block is finished. If tall flat buildings delay part of the workers, the first arrivals at the captains post will assist him in the service.
 Dowie as a religious enthusiast, Dowie as shrewd business man, Dow ie as a home man, is impressive. Tn his home he is serene, calm and consid- crate. He admires his wife and has made her partner in everything. Nor is Overseer Jane Dowie force to be overlooked in Zion. She is motherly woman, calm eyed and peaceful, intel ligent and devoted to her husband. Tn their family life they seem perfect
 Another revelation of Dowie's char acter was made later in his library. There, surrounded by books, he is at home, and the student shows out all over him. On the shelves of his libra ry are works in Sanskrit, in the almost unknown by name languages of sIndia, great volumes of Chinese writings, and these Dowie reads.
 When he cannot read language he either learns it or summons one of his followers, who are recruited from al most every race and there are more than fifty natfonalities represented in Zion City-and has it read to him. Dowie converses with his Chinese ad- herents intelligently and iuently. He is an authority on Chinese history and literature.
 Where does this man go to learn hand man later.
 He told me Dowie works eighteen, twenty, sometimes twenty-four, hours day, tireless, sleepless and sustained by his immense physical energy. He has worked as many as forty hours with scarcely stop even for meals. He has preached and prayed all day and all evening and then, returning to his office, written all night to fill the editorial columns of the paper that Zion prints.
 This work he will delegate to none, believing that most of his converts have been reached through Leaves of Healing.
 Returning to the subject of the New York trip, Dowie said:
 1.-The object of the campaign will be to preach the word of God as revealed to me as messenger of his holy cove nant and to establish another tabernacle for the worship of God according to the Christian Catholic faith of Zion, the only true and authentic revelation of his divine will.
 q truly believe that the divine bless ing will rest upon my efforts and that the church universal will triumph over sin and the devil. I shall preach the gospel of Christ, an opening for saliva ton for all who repent of their sins, leave all to follow him, trust and obey our Lord Jesus Christ and receive his word as spoken by me, as Elijah and messenger of the covenant.
 T ask the prayers of every man and woman in New York that this may be accomplished
 "Will the members of the host preach? What will they say when they visit the people?"
 Some will preach and pray, but the host are instructed not to enter into any religious argument with any one. No person ever was converted to any thing by wrangling. The host will simply call at the doors, extend the message of Christ and place in the hands of some member of the family card of greeting which we have print ed.
 "An invitation will be extended to each to come to our meetings. Further than that the host will do nothing ex- cept when opportunity offers to aid some sufferer or pray with the sick, if requested so to do. They will ask nothing and receive nothing.''
 asked Dowie regarding his title, Elijah the Restorer, and this is what he told me:
 ''The name is not title; it is reality. firmly believe, in common with tens of thousands of my followers, that have been sent by God in the spirit and the power of Elijah as the third and last manifestation of that prophet" MONUMENT TO GENE FIELD Plan nf .TOsenV1 CEaiIdrer Tn Com.
