MISS GoULD's CONTROVERSY.

Miss Helen Gould, not long ago had the morti-
neatlon of experiencing opposition to an innocent
sewing class under her patronage, in the form of
prohibition bg Catholic priest for children of
his parish to attend the class. Miss Gould should
not complain off this sectarian spirit She is en-
eouraging it,. herself, in her own ministerial
friends and is bat reaping as she is sowing In
the correspondence that ensued between the lady
and the priest the latter made the statement that
the Catholic church does object to the reading
of the version of Gods word which has come down
to us unchanged from the time of Christ meaning

to escape from the Jaws of death, 564 strong,

Dowie's eXtrication of himself from
the mountain of debt which threatened
to overwhelm him a couple of years
ago, is not the least remarkable Incl
dent in the life of this remarkable man.
Dowie came to Chicago some fifteen
or sixteen years ago with no means, no
prestige, and if anything somewhat
discredited by reports which had pre-
coded him from Australia and Califor-
mia. He began in Chicago preaching
the literal efficacy of faith, in the heal
ing of diseases, and within few years
had established an extensive institu-
ton to which people suffering from all
ments came from all parts of the cOun-
try From time to time he enlarged the
scope of his work adding temporalities
to his religious teaching such as the
establishment of the largest lace works
in America. About this time he took a
step in advance on the ecclesiastical
side, organizing his followers into a re-
ligiOus organization which he called the
Christian Catholic Church. With this
organization he began a missionary
movement which has resulted already
in the establishment of bodies of his
principal cities of the United States,
Australia, and some of the countries of
Europe. His great stroke, however,
was the establishment of Zion City.
Buying a large tract of land on the
shores of Lake Michigan, about thirty
miles north of Chicago, he planned, laid
out and built wonderful city COM
munity, establishing manufacturing in
dustries of several kinds there, includ-
ing the lace factory and a candy
factory that sells it's products all
over the country. 1t was the es-
adjustment of Zion City that piled
up the great debt, which came near be-
ing his undOing. Proceedings for a re-
ce'Vership We're actually begun, but he
was able to satisfy his creditors, and
gain an extension of time, entering up7
on obligations which he has just now
redeemed AS an organizer and crea-
tive statesman he ranks with Brigham
Young, but i'm the field of modern day
finance, he ranks with the highest. The
permanence of his organization will
largely depend, no doubt, on the capa-
