scattered all over the country. We
gained church upon the same lines
as the early apostolic churches.
eve get the truth from the Bible
and learn what we should do and be-
lieve by putting the Bible to a test.
Man Who Gives Il Blessed.
''The minister in this church receives
no salary. The apostles received none.
Our minister receives what the board
of deacons sees fit to give him. They
govern even his living expenses. The
funds in our church are collected in
the manner that is laid down in the
old testament. Members give their
tithes, one-tenth of their earnings. The
Bible is very strict on this point and
assures those who give the 1.-THE that
they will be blessed. We have found
this so.
"The aim Of most of the churches in
the city is to collect funds sufficient

trouble. We use almost all of the
funds which we collect in the cause Of
charity.
Wants Land.
eve want to get at least 10000 acres
for colony. 1t would be operated on
a socialstic plan, where the poor
would not have to compete with the
rich"
In speaking of the management of
the church the bishop said:
''No property of the church can be
sold without the consent of the bish-
op and the annual board of trustees.
Dlames Commissioner Butler.
Charity is the feature of our work.
We do more charity work than any
other church in the city. We find en-
ployment for the poor. We never
fail. And yet with all this burden of
charity we are the only church in the
city or the state that is taxed. We
are taxed because we rent part of the
building. This is true, but the pro-
ceeds are all devoted to charity. The
First Methodist church rents its build
ing at $25 night. 1t is not taxed.
/ lay the blame for our being taxed on
Commissioner Butler. He does not
approve of me or my church and took
this means to show it. We, of all
churches, should not be taxed.'
Cures All Diseases.
Divine healing is also the belief of
the church. This belief is based on
the 18th verse of the 10th chapter of
St. Mark:
81 have cured all kinds of diseases.
have just come from case of scar
let fever" said the bishop.
When asked as to his private prop
erty the bishop admitted that he had
accumulated some. II have several
ranches which i have acquired. have
also fallen heir to property left me
by my parents" More than this could
not be ascertained. 1t is evident, how.
ever, that the bishop has not suffered
from want since he started his church.
