SANDFORD LEAVES SHILOH,
Thought to Have Gone to Jerusalem
The Colony in Better Shape.

Shiloh. Me-, Nov. 9.-Rev. Frank w
Sanford, leader of the Holy Ghost
and Us Bible School," and head of the
Church of the Living God, the Pillar
and Ground of the TRUTH has left
Shiloh, presumably for Jerusalem. The
last that was heard from him, he was
in New York, and whether he has
sailed for Europe or not, is not known
here. Mr.. Sanford stopped a few
days in Boston to attend to several
business matters.
Shiloh has enjoyed a period of pros
perity since Mr.. Sanford was SEN
fenced to pay fine of 500 and costs
in the cruelty case. at the last term of
the supreme court in Auburn. Not
since the period Immediately follow
ing the first prosecutions against
Shiioh's leader, has the treasury been
as full as it is at the present time.
Devoted followers of Mr.. Sandford
all over the world have sent him suffi-
Gent money to pay the fine and costs
until he has enough to meet the re-
quirements of the court a hundred
fold.
All of this money has been turned
over to 1.-The Kingdom" with a prayer
of thanks for each amount and a long
prayer for the whole amount. Shiloh
ties believe the Lord made His inilu-
ence felt in the heart of Justice Emery,
causing him to inllict a rine instead of
jail sentence for punishment.
Prayers asking the Lord to bless JUS
tice Emery for his wise action are
offered by some. The Lord is asked TO
forgive the jury that failed to acquit
Mr. Sanford. Forgive them, Lord,
for they know not what they did,
pray the Shilohites for the jurymen.
1t is understood that Mr.. Sandford
intends to make his mission in Jcrusa-
lem of more importance than it is now,
and that his business there this trip
will be to attain that end.
He has stated that he believed the
return of the Lord to Jerusalem is near
at hand. He and his followers are anx-
ious to be as near as possible to the
chosen city when that time arrives.

they want to eat now?" was asked of
a Sniloh disciple, Thursday. DO they

What progress is being made on the
enlargement of the shoe shop?'
THE disciples are getting out the
lumber
Does Mr.. Sandford intend to make
his headquarters in Jerusalem for the
future?"
While he tells US little, l understand
that he plans to make Mr. Gleason the
head one at Jerusalem, Gleason filling
the same position there that Holland
does at Shiloh. Mr. Sanford will
spend his time establishing new mis-
sions and between Shiloh and Jerusa-
LEM
viii he make Jerusalem the princi-
pal headquarters of his following"'
Il think not, as the Lord selected
Beulah Sandhill in Durham as the
headquarters for the religious move
mcnt that the followers claim will
evangelize the world, and he would not
change it. But l understand that Mr.
Sanford has received some new reve-
laticn about Christ's early coming
DO you think he intends to stay out
of the United States so that further
action IN regard to the indictments now
standing against him cannot be
taken?"
