CHRONOLOGY MAKES INTERESTING READING
From the Time Of His Landing in San Fran.

ceived and Squandered

Chicago-Whether John Alexander
Dowie shall in the future, as in the
past, be acknowledged the First Apos-
tie by the members of the church he
has instituted the credit of being the
founder of perhaps the most religious
movement of modern times must be
accorded him.
Since his arrival in Chicago
in 1890 his rise to power and
wealth has been practically been un-
checked Except for his unfortunate
trip to New York in 1903, in which
much money, was expended and in a
measure the prestige of the church
lowered as consequence of the ac-
knowledge failure of the visit, he has
made few mistakes. The financial
storms which at times threatened the
stability OF Zion City have all been
weathered, if not with ease at least
without disaster.
The events of Dr. Dowie's life that
need recording may be summed up as
follows:

as evidence of his state of alteration
of mind Polygamy, it is understood,
explains the antagonism of Mrs.
Dowie and Gladstone Dowie to the
first apostle.
The verse of Scriptures on which
DR.. Dowie is said to have based his
advocacy of polyamy is the following:
"And seven shall take hold of one
man, saying: We will eat our own
bread and wear our own apparel, only
let us be called by thy name to take
away our reproach. Isaiah All.
,-~-----1. - =escIy Gays of Zion City
there was much prosperity and Dowie
paid his workers currency. He found
this tedious, and to evade it, evolved
a scheme of paying by coupons or
script, Tedeemable some day. by the
central financial government of Zion.
These coupons were issued in enor-
nous quantities and used as a substi-
tute for currency.
This wildcat" issue gradually
drove real money out Of the city
Judge ". " Barnes, the general
counsel, and other leaders protested
to Dowie against the issue. Dowie an
swered by keeping the printing presses
working overtime.
The coupons were in time dumped
on Dowie for everything purchasable
in the city The income from the mer-
chandise sold on the outside was the
only real money coming in and that
was not sufficient. The climax was q

1905--Gets an option on 100000 acres
of Mexican land and makes trip to
complete colonization plans. Strick-
en- with paralysis on his return to Zion
City. After a second stroke leaves for
West Indies.
1906-M;kNes Wilbur Glenn Voliva
deputy general overseer of the Chris
tian Catholic church and the Zion in
dustries. Repudiated by Voliva and
his people.
Gave Enemies Chance.
That DR.. Dowies conduct at Zion
was not at all times circumspect seems
to be beyond doubt. Diversions not
strictly suited to, a man of his age
and position-his participation, for in
stance, in games of blind mans buff
with adult visitors to Shiloh house,
and his disregard of conventionalities
in his visits to Miss Ruth Hofer-are
not denied, but his friends and enc
mics differ as to his guilt or inno-
cence.
Claim Advocacy of Polygamy.
That John Alexander contemplated
polygamy and at one time threatened
to set the example in person is assert

overseers. They regard the obsession

their hats in their hands, as if they

It is not my desire to attack. Rameses,

very interesting papyrus which came
into my possession at Luxor. If this
document is accepted as authentic and
the statements are believed, then it
would appear that Rameses was the
champion advertiser of ancient times
If Rameses were alive today he would
own all the biIlbOardS in America. He
would take full page in every Sunday

calendars. He would give Lawson cards
