people had respect for New York and
admired the mayor for what he had

sponded: Thank you, sir"
"Dr." Dowie's troubles with the pub
lie of New Gomorrah" were added to
again, when during the meeting 2000
people calmly walked out after calmly
listening to a TRADE of the press. The
prophets" anger knew no bounds,
and he stamped up and down the plat
form reviling his departing auditors
printed.
This Is all caused by the newspa-
pers--the lying vipers Of the press"
said Dowie. But never mind; | have
a message straight from God which |
will deliver to them. I'll burn them
up, the hounds"
Il am going to spank nr. Newell
Dwight Hills, that naughty boy he
said. He has been writing lies to the
newspapers about me. | spanked him
in Chicago. and | spanked him so good
that it was hard for him 20 sit Gown.
And I'll do it again.
Il want to say that there won't be
any healing here at this meeting, or at
any meeting. You have to be cleaus2l
and saved first before you can b. heal
ed, you stinl, pots, you beer pots, you
whiskAputs."
When Mr.. Dowie opened his nig,t
meeting in Madison Square Garden he
faced an immense throng; when h
closed it his audience had dwindied tn
only a few hundred persons besides the
host he brought with him from the
west. He fretted. fumed, threatened,
cajCled and finally resortcd to the use
OF cpthets, his hearers meanwhile
leaving the meeting. several hundred
together, drowning the sound Of his
voice.
He announced tht he would tell how
it was revealed to him that he was
Elijah" and also that he would have
something to say to the newspapers
and their reporters. His talk, which
was interspersed with several hymns,
at times when the tramp of those leav-
ing the hall was more than his voice
could overcome, was devoted chiefly to
denunciation of tobacco smokers, IL
Quor drinkers and newspaper men, all
of whom he classed as dirty dogs" and
dirty birds"
Several times the audience hissed
Mr.. Dowie. After one such demonstra-
ton he shouted: I'VE come here, and
we get your impudence, but l will get
your hearts and then l will get your
pocketbooks."
There is nothing 20 joyful as spend
ing money for the Lord" he continued.
They say l came to New York for
money. do not deny the soft i'm
peachment." He said the story that
his wife lost a $500 diamond pin was
untrue, as she never owned pin like
that, nor had she lost anything. The
tales printed about Ab people hsing
hungry we're eA lie, - 60. !ss red
licked" the press c; Chicago, he
shouted, and he would lick" the press
Of New York. He would lick these
"vultures."
Finally he came to the promised
story of revelation. He quoted Scrip
ture to show that Elijah was to come
third time, A minister had told hira
that he was Elijah, but he was loath to
believe It. but finally after going owe:
the situation carefully he made up his
mind that he was truly Elijah. Thea sc
