A tale of holdup, robbery and meth

century, which kept the police on ten

down yesterday and by the confession
of Thomas K Morris, jr., the young

he had collected for A. C. Potter. his
employer.
Morris was found late Monday night
in the building in the rear of SAC
Francisco street with a sack over his
head, his feet securely tied and a
necktie over his mouth. He told
a weird tale of Being held up

to their inspiration, import and appli-
cation to every age. The initial tenet
of their faith declares their recognition
of the sufficiency of the inspired word
of the Bible in pointing the way OF
salvation.
Authority for Healing
"In the tenth chapter of the gospel
according to Matthew you will read
Jesus command to his disciples: And
as ye go preach, saying the kingdom
OF heaven is at hand. Heal the sick,
cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast
out devils Now, right here, lest any
one should say that this was charge
given to Jesus immediate disciples and
to them alone, 1 would remind him that
many religionists stultify the very ex-
cuse they make for not healing the
sick, because in saying that the age of
Christian healing has passed they re-
pudiate part of the command to which
1 have referred, namely, to preach the
gospel and heal the sick. There is abb
solutely no authority for assuming that
the commission is divisible, since it
clearly indicates the continuance for
all time OF the healing work as we'll
as the preaching or teaching.
"In support of this conclusion 1 need
only call your attention to the fact that
the command is reaffirmed in the last
chapter of Matthew together with the
sweeping admonition that Jesus minis
try must be continued by all nations
unto the end of the world, for he said
Go we therefore and teach all nations.
Teaching them to observe all
things whatsoever l have commanded
you; and 10, / am with you always,
even unto the end of the world

zion CITY AFFAIRS
BOTH SIDES ROPE FOR AMICABLE
SETTLEMENT OF DISPUTE.
General overseer Voliva Produces
Evidence by Which ne Hopes to
GET DOwie and His Followers
Cowie Spent Quiet Easter Sunday at
Hotel Auditorium Annex.

Chicago. Overseer Voliva
has produced the first of his batch of
documentary evidence by which he
hopes to confound John Alexander
Dowie and his followers.
The instrument was a letter written
under date of April 10, 1904, and ad-
dressed to Dowie, who was then in
Zurich, Switzerland The letter was
signed by Overseers John G. Spelcher,
Charles ]. Bernard and Judge V. v.
Barnes. In the document they warned
DOwie that unless he changed his ways
in the management of Zion City a
clash was inevitable. They stated that
from their examination of the conduct
of the affairs of the colony it was
evident that Dowie had overdrawn his
account at the Bank of Zion City; that
he received deposits when it was
known that the bank was insolvent;
that he had used funds otherwise tnan
in accordance with the representations
made by the stock contracts and GER
tificates; that the proof of the appro-
priation of such large sums for his
own personal use and for the purposes
outside of those named, would be tan
tamount to "embezzlement in any
court Of law" The letter further i'm
plored Dowie to exercise a rigid
economy on the part of himself and his
family, saying that expenditures to
this end should be based on needs
rather than upon fictitious income.
The inhabitants of Zion City, an.4ci-
pating that such a letter would be
read, flocked to the tabernacle early
and long before the services opened
the big building was filed After the
regular Easter ceremony, the sensation
was sprung when General Overseer No-
Iva requested that Deacon Brace
field read that section which said,
There is no doubt for moment that
a failure of the thorough condition of
things would land yourself and cashier
and general financial manager in Jail
very promptly" the audience signified
it's approval of the sentiment express
ed by vigorous applause. The letter
continued:
"The standard Of Zion City can not
be lower than set by the business
world outside. Your safest place will
be at home. There is but one country
outside-and that is Chile-where you
would be safe from the attacks that
would be made, and the situation there
would be hazardous if you continue
yours policy.
The using of funds otherwise than
in accordance with the representations
made by the stock contracts and certif
icates and the proofs of the appropria'
ton of such large sums to your own
personal use and for ends outside OF
the industries named, including what
has been done at Ben MacDhui, would
be tantAmount to a conviction"
Dowie spent quiet Sunday in this
city and presided over simple Easter
ceremonies, which were participated in
by a few of his faithful followers, al
the Auditorium Annex
The attorneys for both sides said
that conferences will be resumed, and
there were yet hopes that the basis
for an amicable settlement would be
reached.
