Overseer Jane Dowie plucked the
Prophets robe and spoke to him swiftly.
He stopped short. He chewed his lip.
| He ceased his remarks about the people of
New York and she leaned back in her chair.
He pronounced his invocation and read
! the subject Of his Restoration Message:
Behold. I stand at the door and knock;
or, the Risen Christ Knocking at the Doors
Of New iork's Millions. What Does 1t

Awful. NEW YORK NEWSPAPERS.
The Prophet was running with long
strides Of his little legs from one end OF
the platform to the other now and was
shout ing at the top Of his voice. He began
10 talk about being in the land of his enemies.
He said he didn't care what the news
papers thought Of him. He said he knew
how newspaper reporter got his inspira-
porter lights cigar He pulled his cheeks
out and made a noise like an escaping

Thus, said he, the reporter put his brain

pretty hard for several days. He promised
| to handle the newspapers tonight in way
that they would never forget. He said he
had message straight from God to them
and that il would burn them up. He invited
everybody to come and hear it.
He said that the geatest mistake the
! churches ever made was when they put
| women ont Of the pulpit. He had been
criticised for taking his wife int the pulpit.

| THE PROPHET Az wHIRIING DFRvlsH.
Here Mr. Dowie did a nautch girl pirouette
of three or four steps which caused the I'M
regenerate to laugh and the host to shake
their heads sadly at the possibility OF such
wickedness being perpetrated by woman
He said he had never had pink tea or
yellow tea or bazaar. or an oyster supper
in Zion, and that the Restoration Host
didn't Use its women for money raising
ends Under modern society women bad
merely become subjects of the lust OF men.
The women OF Zion were home-makers
and mothers.
All through his rambling remarks Dowie
was constantly calling on the people to
remember that God was ever knocking
louder at their hearts and that it was their
own fault If they did not listen. Finally
he asked all those to rise who were willing
TO let God in. The host arose. Some
Of the outsiders sitting nearest them arose.
Dowie observed the reporters bent over their
tables writing and gleefuly shouted that
they didn't want God and he wasn't sur
prised to see il. Loud laughter and APP

beautiful, fresh voice sang Knocking.
