that evil influence 10 remain. so he
adopted the practise OF curing disease
BY casting out devils, II was not an
absolutely new gospel, even IN Chicago,
where he began his American ministry
and soon built up an exceedingly lu-
cratiye business as a ''dev. doctor
Barring occasional difficulties with the
coroner and the skeptical and med
ding physicians, JOnn Alexander was
a great success as a healer IL was
the foundation Of his subsequent great
ness and served to inspire him with
the confidence in his own powers which
led 10 further expansion.
Then he was delivered of n series of
revelations. most Of them of a personal
nature and essential to the proper am
pllfcaton OF his cult. He set forth
that he was on earth for the express
purpose OF founding new church, all
others being failures and humbugs.
He admitted that he was divinely in
spred and that he could work miracles
II he chose. The first and chief duty
of the elect, he taught. was to dwell
together under his protecting arm, and
Zion City was the result He promised
that his "CSrstisn Catholic church"
should dominate the earth and speed
lily. His scheme contemplated the
colonization Of Palestine, the building
Of new cities and the speedy CONVEX
sion Of mankind to the new faith, To
the end that there might be no hnan-
cial confusion he announced that he
would finance the scheme for the
worlds regeneration through his own
bank at Zion City, and he constituted
himself the trustee sole and unac-
countable,
The marvel Is that there was a time,
not long ago. when this preposterous
superstructure seemed TO be built on
more or less secure foundation. So
II appeared, at least, TO the deluded
thousands who withdrew themselves
and their possessions from the outer
world and took refuge within the one
man power haven at Zion city. Even
the hooking outside world was un-
prepared to learn one day that the
prophets reign was over. What It did
know was that John Alexander Dowie
was denounced bitterly by many Of his
followers and that many Of them were
ready to repudlate his alleged divine
commission There came n day when
he was ridiculed and derided as a fakir
In the streets OF the Zion which he
had built. His financial integrity was
shattered and his church was riven by
opposing factions The healing power

A.
need Ill in spite OF his positive as
| sertion that he must ever be immune
