THE PROPHET
Chicago Record Hera!d's Opinion of
J. Alexander Dowie.


J. Alexander Dowie.
John Alexander Dowie just missed
the fame that comes to the founders of
great and enduring religious organiza-
tions. He had the qualities that were
necessary to success. He had success,
indeed, almost in sight. But just al
the critical moment he broke down.
Whether physical collapse came first
or a mental collapse it would be hard
to say, but in the end both came to
gether, and Zion fell like house of
cards. It's members are scattered, to
be absorbed in the other embryonic re-
ligious sects, of which there are many
waiting to receive them.
Dowie's appeal went to a single
stratum of the population, reaching
very few persons outside of it. He
came upon the American scene at a
favorable moment, when his beliefs
in regard to divine healing could be
utilized by him with the greatest de-
gree of success. He was by no means
an isolated phenomenon but part of
the great movement which has turned
the work of faith with striking vigor
toward the curing of ills of the body.
He had the personal magnetism, the
executive ability and the business
ability which must be combined to
carry such a cause as his to organized
success; though, indeed, not the least
l'ot the causes of his failure was the
fact that he did combine all these
qualities in himself He needed no
lieutenants with great ability of their
own. and as result he was ever tho
autocrat When he collapsed all, there
fore collapsed.

History of the society.
The history Of the organization and

its first mission was established no later

with services held in private drawing
rooms. Two years later the mission Sc
cured quarters IN an old chapel, and in
1901 the chapel was purchased. under the
pastorate Of Rev F. L. Day. and became
known as the West Washington Meth
