the institution organized and promoted by
John Alexander Dowie. says that the em-
barrassment experienced within the last
few days at Zion City is the result of at
tacks of personal enemies Of the move
ment.
He argues that the property Of Zion
City is worth several million dollars. and
that, as the claims against Dowie are
small comparatively, things will adjust
themselves in few days. and the conn
munity of Northern Illinois will have
weathered another hostile movement.
Whatever may be the result of the move
ment against Dowie Mr.. Brock is sure
that 1t will have no effect upon the st.

growth within the last year. It now has q
