A TRI-UNE INTERVIEW
WITH MRS. BLANTHER
Interesting Facts About Her Early
Troubles in the Church.

--~
81 wish to thank the gentlemen of
your paper for endeavoring to help me
straighten out my apparent Difficult
ties. We need the intelligence Of the
press to help promote the kingdom Of
God. Only two mistakes last time in
our interview, you said l was still
clinging to lions cross, now although
Zion is Catholic, we, who are Chris
tians only know one cross. Instead of
saying l had been divinely led to the
Union Mission in st. Louis, you stated
that l was a divinity led there. These
little things all have their significance
in working out ones salvation. When
/ left New York l intended to go to
Montreal, Can, but discovered at the
eleventh hour that my ticket read for
Toronto, l at once accepted that as a
divine leading. My friends all telling
that j was crazy. Opon arriving
there / found myself In a refined Eng.
ligh family. The landlord being an
infidel, holding diplomas for divinity.
having studied for the ministry in
England. The third day after my'ar
rival, there came a blind man, who
had been made blind by physicians
and holds a lifetime position in the
general administrators Office at the
Parliament house. Two or three days
after that came a gentlemen and his
wife who were ready to cut each 9TH
ers hearts out through jealousy. ]
assure you / found plenty OF Mission
airy work to do In that home. / give
the address, 636 Church ST., Mrs.
Tucker, Toronto, Canada, for the ben
eft of the physicians who wish to
Judge me insane, that they may COM
municate with this very charming
as to my sanity. 1t might help
them spiritually and they might get
a blessing out OF it. My first conflict
was with St. Johns Catholic church
in one of your leading cities, Having
entered the rectory on a mission to
save a soul. My mission was mlsunder-
stood by the Catholic congregation.
Having given my heart to God in the
Methodist church, therefore they per-
secuted me and one night upon leav-
ing the Methodist church the women
began stripping me of my clothing
and beating and dragging mt through
the street until l was almost dead. At
the same time l had an injured hand,
carried 1t months in a sling.
Immediately afterwards the Father
was communicated. Having been
tangled up in this affair the Methodist
congregation was satisfied that / was
not just the proper person to be in
their church. So they had me arrest
for stealing their minister's heart.
The chief Of police upon interviewing
me could hardly find words to dismiss
me. He remarked that 1T was all u
mystery, at the same time the Meth
odist congregation had their pastor
"a Cody saint) tried before the elders
for trying to steal my heart. We both
that we were Gods children
and we knew that they do not steal.
Two young ladies, sisters, under the
excitement, were taken in chains to
the insane asylum and pronounced in
durable. 1t may be, through provi-
1ence, that the Lord wants me to go
there to restore them, they having
been my first enemies. Later, the
minister, whom l now confess, for
the first time, was my sweetheart,
disagreed with me. He, through re-
venge, rejected me from his church,
but he still has my heart. 1t is now
|ust is years since all this took place,
70 you see l was just a little younger
then than l am now. 1 am still very
much alive.
"If God ever vindicates me and II
he will, ! shall knock one or
Two stones out of the churches. AL
l have suffered great humila-
lion / can see plainly how God has
been destroying my enemies. Chris
jians all know the signs set forth by
)ur blessed Lord in the ninth beati-
Jude: Blessed are you when where
nan shall revile you and shall perse-
,ute you and shall say all manner Of
vii against you falsely for my sake.
Rejoice and be exceedingly glad for
yreat is your reward in heaven. For
10 prosecuted they the prophets that
we're before you
"Now l have not told you n six
zenith part Of this story. But l think
have had the ninth beatitude, don't
7ou? The associated press Of the |
world could not spare the time to hear
Ill the story II 1 should want to tell
hem, which L have no intention Of
loing. l have proof for every state
nent | make. l am not afraid Of man
who has but breath in his nostrils or
jhe devil either as long as l am on the
side. lust want to add that
here is more than one doctor, n re-
porter and one policeman tangled up
n my affairs for whom l am praying. |
You will observe that my conflict has
been Tri-une. First, Catholic; second,
and third, Zion. II God
gives me the victory in this town 1
will take my tribune with mi that l
,ame after. This is a fight for God in
which any sensible person can readily
understand the world has no part.
Read the 41st Psalm, End verse and
see what God has promised me-"
