out Mary in her elucidation Of the queer creed.
A keen vitted man would require a long time
TO analyze all that the brethren tell to under
stand the intricacies Of the "Israelte" religion.
Certainly one explanation seems only to befog
all the others made to the seeker after light.
Amid the variety Of doctrines of the faith of
these 'Tsraelites" one thing stands out more
conspicuous than all Others and that is ire
demption of the body without DEATH which is
a wide variance from the generally accepted
theory and Christian idea of the redemption Of
The soul only.
Mary explained further that all lusts Of the
flesh are forbidden until spiritual perfection is
attained during life. Until then there must be
strict celtbacy. no bringing forth of or rearing
of children. When perfection is attained then
the 'Israeiites" believe they can bring children
into the world that viii live forever. They be-
heve they never viii die If they can attain spir-
itual and bodily perfection, and that is what
they are striving for and for which they
willing TO deny themselves Connubial bliss. Ben
ianln the chief angel or prince does not
adhere strictly to the immortal claim put forth
by Mary and the other angels" He admits
that members Of the flock succumh to the grim
reaper-in other words. de-bue he says it was
because they failed 10 attain perfection.
NO we are not similar to the Dowieites," said
Benjamin. in answer TO a question. Our creed
IS entirely different. In worldly pursuits are
almost strictly agrlculturists. In Zion City the
faithful follow Industrial work, lace making,
candy making, etc. Then, too, there is no such
supremacy welded by any of the leaders
here DR.. Dowie wields in Zion City. There
Dowie IS everything, the dominant, command
ing, compelling force, law, as II We're unto
his followers Absolute and unquestioned obedi-
ence, regardless OF what a follower may think
or desire, IS exacted by Dowie. Punishment
with loss OF all personal belongings, is the pun
ishment Dowie inflicts upon all rebellious fol-
lowers. Why, he's like a Cara despOt. There
IS nothing like that here. The simple life

with mutual help for all, by all"
The interviewer again questioned Mary about
children and the race suicide practice which the
doctrine OF her church emphasized.

nodded their approval. There were number
of children playing on the big porch which runs
along side of the tabernacle.
There children here, remarked the
interviewer
"Oh. yes" answered Mary, but they were
not born mere"
Mary lodged all discussion of the race suicide
question. She likewise evaded going into the
details of the peculiar tenets taught by Michael
Miller. the predecessor Of Benjamin, who was
the first chief angel saint and was
called Prince Mike" He was a strong Op-
ponent of race suicide. and taught and prac-
tised the doctrine of free love until he scan
dalized the whole State of Michigan. For this
Prince Mike was prosecuted by the author

o-daY the 'ISraelites seem to be happy and
prosperous. Money they seem to have in
abundance All is on the cOmmunistiC idea,
everything being held in common. They live

Meat is eschewed; it is never in the big COM

are unlimited quantities; also pies, cakes,
cookies, buns, rolls etc.
