.BENJAMlN" GETS ALL
Colony Of "Flying Rollers" Gives Over
Entire Property Absolutely to
It's Chief and "Mary,"

Benton Harbor. Mich, Oct. 3-The
Church of the Flying Rollers, the Chill
dren of Israel, the house Of David, is
no more
BY common consent Of the members
the communistic phase of the colony
has been abolished and Benjamin and
Mary Purnell, the Amounted" leaders
Of the sect, have been decided the en-
tire property Of the colony, real and
personal estate together.
1t Is the greatest coup that this re-
markable leader has yet performed, for
it enables him not only to sidestep
the investigation and the promised at
tacks Of the state officials, but to take
in his own name every bit Of land,
every building and the bank account
of the entire colony.
When BENJAMIN and Mary formed
their colony In Benton Harbor several
years ago they were merely trustees
of the land. Every piece of real estate
which was purchased was obtained in
the name of the church. A board #
trustees had partial control of all af-
fairs. They were appointed by Benta-
min, but they had the power to object
power is gone and Benjamin and Mary
have complete sway.
Vote All to Benjamin.
They are in fact ruling by divine
right in kingdom of their own, for
their followers believe that they arc
the "anointed'' leaders of the children
of Israel and that they can do nc
wrong.
At a meeting held at the colony
headquarters the attorneys of the
church advised the members that the
state intended to take steps to Gust
them and that if they We're to pursue
their incorporate existence that il
| would be necessary to reorganiZe, not
| as q church but as a society IN ordal
that they might carry on their agri,
cultural pursuits. and that their church
much be conducted separately. Their
1t was that Benjamin did the creates
| bit Of work he has done since he or
gained the colony.
Several of his chosen members arose
and called on all those who were true
members of the faith to show their be.
/ lief in the Amounted, by deeIng t
them every particle Of property tina
the colony owned.
Believe They Will Never Die.
The members voted solidly to turf
everything into the hands of the lead
ers, to abolish the board of trustees
| to abolish their society and lean Who'll
~ upon the arm of the mon who claim
| to be their messenger from God. 81
solid is the belief of the members tina
they will never die, that they even re
fused to make provisions for the dis
posal of their property in case of tn
death of either or both of the "anoint
| ed"
] 1--WE should be false to our faiti
should We contemplate such thing,
] was the sentiment they expressed.
| Today Benjamin and Mary are NOR
| firmly in control of the sect than eve
before. They are the final tribunal
their judgment is not to be questioned
through their hands passes all money
They and they alone shall direct tn
fpolicy of the people. 1t is strongl.
