End of the Most Spectacular Career
of Recent Years
When John Alexander Dowie passed
away death ended the most spectacu-
lar and remark able career that modern
times have known. Gigantic successes
and tragic failures punctuated his life.
Here are some of the remarkable
works aud reyersals that marked
Dowe's career:
He built a creed; he was excommu-
nicated.
He built a city he was exiled from
He amassed a fortune of millions; he
was reduced to virtual poverty.
He elevated Voliva to great power;
Volva deposed him.
He drew about him thousands who
worshiped him; he died deserted by all
save handful of the faithful.
Chicago witnessed in the course OF
few years the founding of cult, It's
extraordinary growth and the sue
ceeding dssensions which divided its
followers, then the death of its founder
and first apostle. The work of John
