"BURNlNG BUSH" SECT.

Why Indiana Followers Of New Re-
lirion Insist on Going to Jail.
The Burning Bush" Is the title Of a
new religion which has reached Nun
Gle, Ind, and since it appeals to the
fanatics it seems to be spreading at an
alarming rate, says a Muncie CORE
spondent Of the Chicago Chronicle.
Men, women and girls have been ar
rested and fined for disturbing the
progress Of other religious meetings,
and they insist upon going to jail,
claiming that God ordered them to do
80.
: The efforts Of the followers to break
up meetings Of other denominations
have resulted disastrously in several
places. In Randolph county the opera
tons Of the Burning Bush" followers
have become 80 bold that they at
tempted upon various occasions to stop
meetings Of the Methodist churches.
They believe chat they are the elect
and that all disbelievers Will 90 to
eternal punishment
Miss Bessie Ford, pretty young
woman, is one Of the leaders, and she
was recently convicted, having been
charged with disturbing religious meet
ings. She, together with Mrs. Mary
Painter and man named Hamilton
Pursley; who have been introducing
the faith in Randolph county, Is be-
ing held at Winchester for her ac-
lions in various churches where regu-
lar services were being held. They all
claim that they will go to prison and
suffer punishment, since it has been
the will Of the Lord.
The work Of the new religious sect
has wrought up many localities, and
the promoters have many followers.
Not until now have they invaded the
churches Of the towns, and every effort
Is being made to confne their work to
the rural districts, but this, it seems, Is
impossible.

have done most along this line goes to
show that it is profitable investment.
