LOOKS DARK FOR "HiLu TOP"
Hard Winter Is Predicted for the Sand
fordtes at Shiloh.

| Portlond, Me, oct 29-The Sunday
Press and Times says:
What will Rev. Frank w. Sand
| ford do" was discussed Saturday by
a man who was once deeply interested
| in Mr. Sanford and in Shiloh, and
who, as he said. got his information
concerning the institution on the hill
top at first hands.
He said that he can see nothing ex-
eept hard times and very hard win
ter ahead of the poor people there
now, and ne added that corn mush
With occasional molaSSes and beans
| cooked without meat or butter may
he life sustaining but certainly not
satisfying. And if the beans were
frost bitten as | understand to have
been the case, the outlook is still
darker for them," he said.
He said that he saw nothing in the
situation to lessen the faith of his
followers in Mr. Sanford because he
has actually accomplished all that he
announced his intention of doing, the
delivering of message as q testimony
| to the nations and peoples of the earth,
and having accomplished that he can
carry on his other work of finding u
select few among and from them as
Well and perhaps better in a few To-
calities thoroughly cosmopolitan in
their character, than he could by 60
ingfi from point to point and seeing
for himself or by his immediate fol-
lowers the possibly elect few in their
homes.
Continuing. he said that Mr.. Sand
| ford never announced his intention of
converting the world. He does not ex-
pect more than few chosen repre-
sentatiyes of the races of mankind.
Mr.. Sanford is far enough from
| expecting a great or universal turning
of men from their sins, but he does
expee. to have representatives of all
nations under heaven. OF course he
does not expect to reach all the divis
| ions and subdivisions of mankind, or
every tribe. but each race has or viii
| be given his message as a testimony
ard TO a very large degree that mes
sage has been delivered and he has no
| longer any necessity for making long
voyages" he said.
He never lost sight, so the man
who was interviewed said, of the fact
where people of many races meet.
| He had a mission in london, as he
did in Palestine, and he knows that
| lie could see more representative peo-
| pie of more nationalities in London,
or even in New York or Chicago and
! in a shorter time than he possibly
could by paying a visit to each ma
ton. And so knowing ne may decide
IT,. # Ia
ministry in the world and make the
| balance of his great campaign on the
| land. He may with one or two trust
ed followers cross the ocean to Lon
don, or he may go to the great cos
Imopolitan cities of the United States
like New York, Chicago and possibly
San Francisco.
| He said that Mr.. Sanford is un-
Iderstood to believe that he and Rev.
Mr.. Holland will die in the streets of
Jerusalem, but ii should be remem-
bered that he is given to the use of
figures of speech, and that ne may
regard Shiloh as the chosen city, but
from what he mdny times said in pub
lie addresses ii seemed so he argued
reasonable to believe That Mr.. Sand
ford really meant 10 be understood
to mean that they should die in a
spiritual Jerusalem.
He said that it seemed to him that
unless he is anxious to have Shiloh
deserted he must take up the task OF
leadership there, and that he must
provide in some way for the wants OF
those who are there.
All this was of course on the as
sumption based on his good fortune
up to this time, that in some way the
pending criminal proceedings against
; him will not he sustained In the
levent of his going absolutely free he
believes that Mr.. Sandfcrd potent
leadership would he felt at home. and
that he will be able to bring Shiloh
more persons with ample means, and
that by giving UP his work on the
sea and concentrating his efforts at a
few promising points on the land he
will be able to re-inaugurate his
movement.
