Cuts off G. o. D. Whiskey.

Express companies are not to be
compelled to carry c. o. D. pack
ages. Judge John c. Pollock, sit
ting July 5th, in the United States
district court here, refused to make
an order to compel them to. The
case brought by the Distilling COM
pany, was test affair, and is to be
carried to the court of appeals.
In making hisdecision, Judge Pol
lock held that while the common
carriers law compelled express COM
panies to carry merchandise, it did
not compel them to act as collection
agencies. The companies had re-
fused to accept for shipmentwhiskey
sent c. O. D. to states where there
are prohibition laws. During the
hearing, which was given a month
ago, attorneys for the railroad said
that some mail order liquor houses
maintained local disturbing depots
by the means of the c. o. D. stamp.
"They ship their liquors to dead
men," said one of the attorneys in
court, "and permit the agent at the
other end to deliver the packages to
anyone calling for it and rendering
the collection charges. They paid
our agents so cents for each package
delivered, and the consequence was
that our agents acted as agents for
the distillers, for they were always
anxious to get that fifty cents. In
prohibition states this got US into
serious trouble. We are anxious to
get out of the business. kansas

Making Assets of Our Failures.

Even the results of a mans fall
ures and sins can be turned to good
account in the Lords service, when
man in Gods strength has put those
sins behind him. There is rich en-
couragement here for all who are
tempted to Encouragement because
of the multitude of failures with
which their past is crowded. One
who has failed and is striving to live
down that failure can sympathlZe
with another who has failed, as one
who does not know the meaning OF
failure can never do.
Whatever u sins may have been,
there are sure to be other souls close
by who need help and sympathy in
the struggle with those same sins;
and God in His love permits US to
minister to them, if we will, with
peculiar power because of the very
scars that we bear. Did yesterday
witness your worst failure of all?I
There are others you can help now,
whom you could not help before. We
need not try 10 understand this, nor
to say that it is not so because good
can V come from evil. 1t is one
of the mysteries of the undeserved
blessing of Gods love.-Sunday-

Neither Wife Nor Son Was at
His Bedside.

Prophets Wealth Gone-Voliva and
the Receiver Announce That His
Death Will Not Affect Future of
Zion.

Zion.
Chicago.-John Alexander Dowie,
one of the most remarkable charac-
tiers Of modern religious history, died
at his home, Shiloh House, in Zion
City. The founder of the Christian
Catholic Apostolic Church, a sect that
had it's followers in every quarter of
the globe, passed away peacefully,
after a period of Inconsistencies pre-
coded by delirium. He was nearly
sixty years old.
The end was not unexpected. For
hours the old leader, deserted by all
except a few faithful followers, had
been sinking slowly. Paralysis and
a complication of dropsy and other
maladies caused death. No relative
was with him at the last. His wife
and son were repulsed when they
made a final effort to see him three
months ago, and neither was at his
beside when the end came.
Mrs. Dowie and her son arrived
late at night from Ben MacDhui, their
home in Michigan, which is practical
iy all that remains of the wealth once
controlled by Dowie, estimated to
have been many millions.
Soon after Dowie's death Shiloh
House, with its furnishings, was
seized by John G. Hately, the Zion
City receiver, in the name of the
United States Court, for the benefit
of the creditors of Zion City. The
house is valued at $4,000 and the
furnishings at $4,000.
The future of Zion City, it was
declared by General Overseer Wilbur
Glenn Voliva, Dowie's successor as
head of the church, will not be affect
ed by the death of the founder. Mr..
Hately made the same announcement.
When the end came Judge Barnes
announced it to the people in Zion
City, though the great majority of
Voliva. A large crowd had gathered
outside the house when the news of
his serious condition spread.
THE first apostle has passed
away" was all that Judge Barnes
said and he returned to the house.
There were few dry eyes among the
gathering, and for the time all the
faults of the dead man we're for
gotten.
The new quickly spread through
the city. The work in the factories
and stores was stopped. The en-
ployes of the great lace works,
brought from England by Dowie,
came out and gathered around Shiloh
House. Voliva, though suffering
from tonsilitis, went to the house and
visited the room where the body lay.
Then, with bowed head, apparently
deep in thought, he returned to his
dwelling.
Flags were lowered to halfmast on
the principal buildings, on the roof
of the great tabernacle and the col
lege building.
In accordance with the often ex-
pressed wish Of DR.. Dowie and also
of Mrs. Dowie, the body will be laid
to rest in Lake Mound, the cemetery
in Zion City where the body of the
daughter Esther, who vas burned to
death, is buried.

How to Lose Ground.

God hath a thousand keys to open
a thousand doors for the deliverance
of His own when it has come to the
greatest extremity. Let IS be faith
full and care for our OWL part, which
is to do and suffer for Him, and lay
Gods part on Himself, and leave it
there; duties are ours, events are
the Lords.
When our faith goeth to NEEDLE
with events, and to hold a court (if 1
may so speak, upon Gods provi-
dence, and beginneth to say, How
wilt Thou do this or that?" we lose
ground. We have nothing to do
there; it is our part to let the Al
mighty exercise His W Office and
steer His own helm.-Rutherford.
