NEW RELIGIOUS SECT.
Started by Negro In New York
City.

C1Cy.
It is said that a peculiar religious
sect is getting foothold in the city
OF MiddlstoRn, N. Y. 1t is the
Church Of God and Saints Of Christ
and is founded on lines similar to
Alexander Dowie's Clurch Of Zion,
and like that 1t has head who pro-
claims himself Gods prophet and
mouthpiece. William S. Crowdy, Of
Washington, D. O., Is the prophet
The church knows no color line, but
as the prophet is negro the majority
OF converts are from the negro rSca.
A branch Of the church was organ
zsd in this city some weeks ago by
an Intelligent negro, John 81. Allen,
!rom Glover, Va, and already it has
made fourteen black and one white
convert. The keeping OF the Ten
Commandments and observing CT
Saturday as the Sabbath are the
strong points of the Church OF Gcd.
Prophet Crowdy, il he had a white
skin, would much resemble Alexander
DoWie, and his msSnods appear as ii
copied from Dowis's. He publishes a
newspaper, the Weekly Prophet,
which is the official organ OF The
Church OF God, and it's chief end
seems to be to urge the members to
send in contributions to CroWdy.
Members OF the church have tc
contribute 10 per cent OF their earn
ings. which, with ali other moneys
collected, goes to Prophet Crowdy.
The members are told that Crowdy is
onnisccient and that nothing they do
escapes his observation. Particular
stress is laid on the fact tEa5 1t Is I'm
possible to fool the prophet in regard
to the earnings Of the followers, and
it is suggested that If any OF them
tried to mig" in their 10 per cent
contributions swift punishment would
follow. The prophet has scheme Of
building holy city at BelleVille, Va ,
similar to Dowie's Z:on city. The
other colored churches OF this city are
up in arms against the Church OF
