Branch churches were established in
other cities, large hospital for the
healing of the sick was built in Chi
cago and college for the training
of missionaries was organized; a
plant put IN operation and a bank
was also started.
Church in Zion City.
The Christian Catholic Church IN
Zion City, the outgrowth of the orig
ina1 international divine healing asso-
citation was formally organized Ia
February, 1896, Dowie becoming gen
eral overseer. -Four years afterward
Dowie before large audience in thu
Auditorium Theatre, announced that
he was "Elijah the Second" spokrI.
of in Malachi. This assumption of
biblical personality created even more
of a sensation among his followers
than that of any of the worldly sue
cesses of the prophet" Previous
to this Dowie had marked out his
plans for Zion City, the crowning
effort of his life. Six thousand acres
of land were purchased or secured
by options and in August of 1901,
the first building was erected in Zion
City, which a year later had a popu-
lation of 10000.
In Zion City, as well as the church,
nouia uoi- c,,Y,,,oc,oo Tho +;4Io of +ba
six thousand acres, bought with the
money of the sect, rested in him. Lots
were leased, not sold. Running for
999 years these leases were filled with
the following re$rictions: The pre-
misses shall never be used for a slaugh-
ter house, saloon or beer garden, to-
bacco store, opium joint, theatre,
gambling establishments, dance hall,
circus, pharmacy, drugstore, office or
residence of a practising physician
or surgeon, place for selling pork
or secret meeting place.
In December Of 1903 Zion City was
placed under control of federal re-
ceivership, which was dissolved a
week later on Dowie s representation
of ability to pay dollar for dollar on
all indebtedness. At that time Dowie
estimated the value of his holdings
in Zion City at $25,OOO,OOO. Since
then the values of the lace factory,
the other industries and holdings at
Zion City are believed to have in
creased to $2S,O0O,O0O
A Second City Projected.
Eighteen months ago Dowie began
the promotion of a second Zion City
in Mexico. While engaged in this
undertaking his health failed and lie
went to Jamaica shortly before Christ
mas, 1905, for his health. While
there he suffered stroke of paralysis
from which he never fully recovered.
Dowie Deposed.
Tt was at this time that he appoint
ed Wilbur Glenn Voliva, his first lieu
tenant, general overseer of the church.
A month after Voliva took charge In
Zion City he, by a power of attorney
vested in him by Dowie, had all the
property belonging to the church
transferred from Dowie to Overseef
Granger, charging extravagant and
gross mismanagement by Dowie. at
the time the transfer was made Voliva
called all the Zonists to the taber-
nacle in Zion City and. denounced
Dowie With the exception Of less
than 200 of his followers all the in
habitants of Zion City chose Voliya
as their future leader, and word was
sent to Dowie in Mexico that he had
been deposed. He Immediately start
ed for Chicago and took the contro-
versy to courts for settlement

So How about it :"
Well, that was the beginning of heart to heart
talk that lasted for good many miles. Somehow,
Sadie and I'd never had real quiet chance like

Right in the middle of the toasts the sailin master
shows up on the stairs and says, Were just making

And when he hears what's been goin' on, he's
the most surprised sailorman l ever saw. After
that we all has to 60 UP on deck and take look at

Say it's a shame all them chaps amt in n

Bassett thought he could, and he does. In two

wake up them pets of Teddys? Well, few! First
we hears lot of dinner gongs go off, ding-a ling

whistles blew buges buged and inside of three
minutes by the watch there guns bang bangin'

About then the guns get through and there's

So Sadie and I stands up by the rail, with more
