of all good people. Dowe himself Is
an object of pity more than scorn. There
is no figure in history he resembles SO
closely as does the character Of Balaan.
Balaam was once Gods prophet; he
knew the truth. He wished to speak 1t,
but the glitter Of Balak's gold and the
flattery Of his tongue proved his ruin.
1t is about six years ago that The
RAMS Horn spoke Its first and last word
concerning DR.. Dowie. Ho was then Mt
the height OF his power. Many thought
1t was temerity to touch him, He was
abusive of his enemies and had been
known to employ extraordinary means to
inture them. We had come into possess
sion of testimony concerning him which
it was due his own people to know. We
were III constant receipt of requests from
our own readers for information concern
Ing him. We at last, with Considerable risk
to ourselves, gave publicity to the evil
dence. We forbode to speak of his prl-
vate character We spoke only OF that
which we knew. We gave an entire is
sue OF the RAMS Horn to an exposure
of the "Dowc Delusion." It's effects
upon his career was immediate. His nd
herents at distance, who read the facts
we published withdrew their support His
income from that source decreased hun
dreds OF dollars week. We saved moro
than one ill-advised woman and foolish
man from the folly OF giving to Dowie
their earthly estate and their gouls direc-
tion. Those who were close 10 him be-
lievcd his denials OF our charges and per-
hnps shared In his abuse OF Tho RAMS
Horn. They know better now. Nothing
that We ever said equals in denunciation
this singing message that was sent by
cable and signed by his own oyerseers,
sanctioned by his own people. among
them his wife and son.
