VISIONS RULE IN
LIFE OF KRUSE
Friends Familiar With His
Operations Say Lead ;
ings' Never Err.
He Says His Wealth Is Not
for Selfish
Uses.
URRENDERING himself to Il

~ URRENDERING himself to the
guidance Of visions, w. II. Kruse,
of 347 East Seventeenth street,
has made thousands of dollars in the
wheat market, has filed hundreds of
pages with written revelations and has
now capped the climax by discovering
what is reported to be an immensely
valuable gold mine in the Ozark mount
aims, Arkansas.
Such is the remarkable statement
by Mr.. Kruse and vouched for by
friends familiar with his market opera
tions. The latter say that the wealth
which has come to him has not been
employed for seeking further gain nor
has the opportunity opened to him by
it's possession been used for personal
ACKNOWLEDGMENT. Instead, he regards
himself as merely the instrument thru
which divine agencies are seeking to
do great work. This is nothing less
than the establishment Of a great com,
munity that shall exemplify the prin-
ciples Of the new era of unsel6shness
and common brotherhood which Mr..
Kruse believes is dawning.
Just how and when this great idea
is to be worked out, he does not as yet
know but he does know that none OF
the income from sources revealed to
him is to be used by himself or by
others for selfish ends. A profound be-
lever in the Bible, he is a simple, I'M
assuming man whose whole life is dom
mated by q power which, to him at
least, is not a bit mysterious. He talks
of his visions and what they have led
him to with an unassuming modesty
and conviction that shows they ars
realities to him, and those who have
known him long say his life is in steict
accord with the principles he holds and
the = leadings' he has received.
Those long familiar with the peculiar
gifts Of Mr.. Kruse know that while he
has been large operator in wheat he
has never sought to profit by inducing
others to invest with him. His sue
cess has made them respect the source
Of his information and they are not
disposed to class his visions as vaga
ries. Neither are they inclined to re
gard his operations with suspicion, fol
he has no use for other people 8 money
and has nothing to sell. What he has
has been given to him for purpose tt
which he is faithfully devoting it. Tt
all who know him he is puzzle from
every viewpoint except that one which
accepts literally his own explanation.
First Fought the Visions.
For many years Mr.. Kruse has beer
seeing the visions. It was not until
three years ago, however, that he sur
rendered himself to be led by them
He had felt before this that to take
them seriously would be to sacrifice hi
individuality and that he would cease
to be a free moral agent. He was en-
gagged in the grain commission business
Finally, however, came a vision AM
a message which impressed him 8,
strongly that he decided to act as they
had Indicated. Since that time he ha
