Dowie walked TO the front OF the plat

eyes until he was looking into the arched
rafters and his fluffy white beard stood
out straight, and then raised his arms
over his head. His hands are very small

lifted. The thousands were quite still.
DowIE's VERSION OF PSALMS.
With a shrill but penetrating voice
Dowie pronounced an invocation. Al the
end Of II the choir chanted sonorous
Amen" and then sang the "Hallelr)ah
chorus from THE Messiah" When the
chorus was ended the prophet ordered
more music. People were still coming IN,
and the music was kept up until all were
in. Then Dowie began TO read from the
Psalms. Every few words called tor
some prophetic comment. Sometimes ne
emphasize the comment. People began
to go out at the back He broke on
abruptly in the reading and shouted:
LET that door be closed; let those people
be stopped. II is not permitted that peo-
pie go out , p..o.
The noise increased The Restorer
kept on trying TO read. he tunneu qn IIvln
the Psalms 10 Revelations. The noise

The trouble with New Workers, he
said, in that they know all about what

what everybody says except God. New
Workers are all busy listening 10 each
other: they know what the politicians are
doing. what the gamblers I'm Wall street
are doing, what all the thieves and muir

ON REPORTERS ASPIRATION.
The prophe. was running with long
strides of his little legs from one end
OF the platform to the other now and
was shouting al the top OF his voice.
He began to talk about being In the
land OF his enim'es. He said he did
not care what ths newspapers thought
Of him. He said he knew how a news
paper reporter got his inspiration. He
showed how ne vspaper reporter lights

made noise like an escaping air-brake.
Thus, said he. the reporter puts his
brain To sleep AMI invents poisonous lies.
Some had recourj 10 the bottle. he said.
A careful study " the New York news
papers convinced him that the bottle had
been worked pretty hard for several
days.
He said that the greatest mistnke the
churches ever made was when they put
women out OF the pulpit. He had been
criticised for taking his wife into the
pulpit He said: "Why. she cnn talk
better than especially when she talks

THE churches have let the devil take
the women away from them and put
them on the stage 90 lure men away
from the churches"
