DOwie Was plainly worried at the close
OF the meeting. which had lasted more
than three hours.
Dowie saw imauinary enemies in various
sections OF the hall lie warned Jlsm that
he would call on the police 10 arrest them

Turning suddenly Dowie went back TO
his pulpit and his open Bible.
How glad We ought to Ue that We have
an infinitely patient Cod" be exclaimed.
But his impat!euCe Gut the better OF him
again, and, walking TO the front OF the
stage, he shouted: "NFhat do you know

persons who It maiEed seated. BIS audi

There was a greater volume OF Kisses at
this epithet. while the speaker denied that
he had ever handled / cent Of the tithes
of his church. As the kissing continued, |
and as an exit OF several thousand per
sons began, Dowie turned TO his choir |
with a signal and all began the hymn, |

Kisses arose in increasing numbers close
TO the platform. They awakened the SEN

DoWie then made his declaration" say
ing he was the successor Of Elijah the
I1shbite. He incidentally attacked Free

Kisses arose everywhere and the eN-
element became so great that IL seemed
as though a rush OF indis-
nant men would be made for the platform.
On a signal from Dovie the choir began

he left the platform. and line OF police
men had great difficulty in preventing |
half curious. half angry thrOng from sur
Dowie and his escort.
Dowie was unable TO restrain his anger,
ienouncing departing ones with Eross vi
tuperatiOn. He raved Intellectually. but
could not hold them in the building. as
the police would not aid him. Even his
wife. OVerseer Jane DOwie. grew weary
turing his long discourse and raised her
hand TO hide her Nawns. At two OF MS |
most violent periods. she DluCkcd his
sleeve and whispered words Of advice.
DENOUNCEs MINISTER'S.
Dowie did not wear the long episcopal
-obes that he used on Sunday. His short,
-otund figure was fully revealed between

which he used with an amusing effect in
depicting the effect OF a tight corset.
Mrs. DOwie read from the Scriptures a
passage detailing miracle performed by
Tesus Christ. Her husband took this as a

larangues upon irrelevant topics and es-

He was most bitter against the Rever-
md Doctor Henson. who, at the weekly
Meeting Of the Baptist Ministers Confer
