and overcome all evil.
They are unable to say just why BEN
ton Harbor was selected to become the
transparent city. Benjamin says the
city had to be located some place, and 1t
might as we'll be here as any other.
There was no special reason for the Sc
lection. There were few Of the follow
ers here and Benjamin selected the place
because he liked it, and everybody
seemed content to have 1t as he said.
This queer sect has not met persecu-

to have succeeded in interpreting the

Benton Harbor, Mich.-A half truth is
always dangerous. A strange mixture
of truth and error has brought large
company of people together in this city
in preparation for the second coming
of Christ, and the Inauguration OF the
millennial age.
BENJAMIN and Mary, the long-haired
prophet and prophecies of these Israeli
ties as they call themselves, for they
claim to have discovered themselves as
one of the lost ten tribes, can quote you
the Scripture which would seem to justi-
fy their ideas, for the many peculiarltles
of their faith are taken from the Bible.
So does Dowie use the Word of God,
for he bases all his strange claims upon
the teachings of the Sacred Book. So
does Mrs Eddy use or misuse it, finding.
as she believes. teachings which nave
given the world Christian Science. So
have scores and hundreds of other peo-
pie in this day and in days gone by used
Goods Word to bolster up their peculiar
ideas of religion.
1t has been said that it is possible to
go to the Bible and find seeming author
ity for any faith or practice which dis
torted or diseased human mind or heart
could want And it is also true that no
matter how absurd or pernicious doc
trine one may advance, there are always
people to be found who will accept and
follow it as the truth.
But we did not start out to deliver a
lecture on the use and misuse of the
Bible, but our purpose is to tell the story
of the colony of the House of David,
formerly known as the Flying Rollers, +"
or>the "Holy Rollers" as clearly and
fairly and fully as possible, believing
that the story will prove interesting as
we'll as instructive. But we wanted to
emphasize the fact that the doctrines
which the "Israelties" believe and teach
find their seeming justification in the
Bible. Certain truths are taken from
their opersetting. and into others their
own interpretations are read, so that we
find strange tumble, a confused mass
of truth and error, and, as we have al
ready said. half truth is always dam
gerous truth.
Millennium Coming.
The ''Israelites" believe that the end
of the present age will come in 1916. and

anything that the "Israelites," the
whilom Flying Rollers" had an
nounced at any time before. 1t was un-
derstood in Benton Harbor that the sec
ond coming" an event which is to pre-
cede the beginning of the millennium,
was just IL years away-that it had been
scheduled to arrive in 1916. But this
appears to have been sad mistake. It
is the ''end of the world" or, more ac-
curately speaking, the end of the pres
emit order of things" that is timed to ar
rive In 1916. The change from the pres
emit order to the holy reign of Christ
during the millennium may-require some
time for Inauguration. say Benjamin and
Mary.
They are emphatic in declaring that
the lend of the present order" will take
place in 1916; that in that year the
Christ will have successfully launched
the millennium, and that thereafter He
will reign and govern for 1000 years as
the acknowledged sovereign and ruler
of all the earth.
They assert that the presence of the
person of Christ may not at first be
recognized by any but the few, and that
He may be some years on earth before
He will make manifest His identity
with the stupendous miracles foretold
in the Scriptural Book of the Revela-
lions. Here is where the Israelites have
the advantage of the rest ct us-they OK
pect that Christ will make Himself
known to them first, as they say that He
will know they have thoroughly fitted
themselves to receive Him and accept
His Divine leadership on earth.

saw it. She read it. 1t was in the
vernacular of ''old merrie England" and
she succeeded in copying it into terse
and vigorous English. She was the first
messenger" of q new faith. After her
came three other messengers. Then
came John Wroe, who was the fourth
messenger, and next came the somewhat
famous James ]. Jezreel. Benjamin,
therefore, is clearly the seventh in
descent. But he alone of the seven mes
sengers is to have the browning glory of
an immortal body, for Benjamin is the
last of the messengers" and it has been
determined that he shall see the millen-
NAL age and Christ, its only ruler" and
that after 1000 years on earth he shall
ascend into Heaven with the entire host
of the LA 900 to be numbered among the
elect.

and spirits" of all the other Inhabitants
of earth, from the beginning to the end
of time, may ascend into Heaven, but
their bodies will stay forever in their
graves or somewhere in the universe,
or in chaos, as physical, material sub
stance. When the Bible extends the
promise of resurrection of the body at
doomsday it is not the real body but the
spirit" which will rise, the lsraelites
say, from the graves of mother earth

Mission of the Sect.
1t is the mission of the "Israelites" to
prepare the world for Christ's second
coming and to keep holy vigil until the
temperance of the Redeemer upon
earth once more. They assert that 1.-The
second coming is due now and may be
expected to be made manifest at any mo-
ment to all the world"

To tell the plain truth, Agatha is in a

cannot take the initiative. No girl who
respects herself can beg her lover to

she grant the favor of an early marriage.
A man should be sure of his own mind,
and purse, before becoming engaged.
Once engaged, he should not he the one to
