Tonight at 7:3O there will be another

subject: "The Beginning of the Gospel.
Repentance; and the Demand Of Elijah
the Destroyer at Carmel and of Elijah
the Restorer at New York
The first ten rows Of seats in the Garden
will be occupied by member~sof the Restora-
ton Host. The rows behind them will be
occupied alternately by the faithful and
by the unregenerate public. 1t ia hoped
that this proximity of tho sanctified and
the unrestored will result in great good
for the cause.
Seats have been provided for newspaper
reporters under the pulpit, and tickets good
for one day will be issued to each news
paper; these with the caution that if the
reporter OF any newspaper writes anything
that is not in accordance with Elijah the
Restorer's ideas his ticket will be revoked
and Zion Guard and secret service will see
that no reporter from that newspaper
gets in again. 1t was gently intimated
yesterday that among the forbidden topics
is any discussion of the comfortable out
lines Of Elilah's corporeal figure.
After visiting Madison Square Garden
about 10 o'clock yesterday morning and
gathering his elders together in executive
l. s, ~.-.-
of the newspapers of New York Gt was
a very low opinion) Dowie went back to
his hotel, and was occupied with his cor
respondence and with interviews on his
business interests.
1t was understood that at one time during
the day he had a meeting with Lyman j.
Gage, former Secretary of the Treasury.
When Mr.. Gage was president of the First
National Bank of Chicago and since he has
had very friendly business relations with
Dowie and has been regarded by many as
Dowie's best fiscal adviser. Charles j.
Barnard, the present. manager of the Zion
CITY Bank, was formerly in the First Ma
tional Bank.
OF all the business institutions Of Zion
City that bank is perhaps the most remark
vertisement in the Zion publications begins
with an acrostic arrangement, Of which the
first statement is:
will pay per cent. interest on all sums
under $500 and per cent. on all sums over
$500"
The first letters of the sentences spell
out: "Where God rules, man prospers.'
The last sentence Of the advertisement is
"Saviours question: Wherefore then
gavest not thou my money into the
bank Luke xix, %.
The rest OF the verse, ending that -
I might have required mine own with
usury?' is not included in the advertise
ment.
From time to time in Mr.. Cages career
there have been rumors that he was not
altogether conventional in his religious
beliefs The Restoration Host, however,
do not claim him for their own. They 4,
speak of him as valued friend of the Re-
storer. That there, is plenty of margin
lishments would seem to be proved by the
number of them. The Zion handbooks
and publications name eight Of them, as
follows
Zion Land and Investment Association.
Zion City Bank, Zion Lace Industries dncor
}, LOll bulltlIHS
Association, Zion Sugar and Confection
Association, Zion City General Stores,
Zion Printing and Publishing House. Zion
City Fresh Food Supply Association.
Under the Incorporated name Of each OF
these interests are the significant words,
John Alexander Dowie," There are ad-
vertisements in the programmes, in which
the order Of services and the hymns and
music are contained, explaining just what
ratesS of interest shares in these corpora
tiohs pay and where in the Garden agents
authorized to sell shares may be found.
Dowie found his spiritual children at the
Garden in much happier frame OF mind
yesterday morning than they had been
on the morning of their arrival. They had
had their breakfast, for one thing II had
been fairly good breakfast, although
the unregenerate butchers Of this municipal
sink Of ini1uity had not delivered the steak
ration. The kitchen was in fine order,
clean "a a whistle, aud though small, the
force Of cooks was keeping very well up
with the demands.

had been assigned were far FRI N prorr
