Harem Story Trails
Pastor To New Job
BY ROY J. GIBBONS
NEA Service Writer


CHICAGO, lee. 1.-The ghost
of his past has cost Rev. II. NJ.
Ferguson another pulpit.
Officials Of the Mennonite
church have just harmed how he
was dragged through the streets Of
Cedar Rapids, Ia, by an angry
mob three yeara ago.
SO the self-stylcd "dethroner Of
vice" is out of a Job again.
The evangelist was invited to
Lincoln. Ill, several months ago to
fill a vacan pulpit temporarily.
But he oversteved his leave, the
ruling elders say.
Fearing he was coming to strong
a foothold with the little country
congregations between Lincoln and
Bloomington, the elders set out on
an investigation of their own.
A committee Of three consisting
of District Superintendent w. S.
Shelly, Rev. j. Ii. King and Rev.
William Weaver went to Cedar
Rapids to learn what they could of
Rev. Ferguson's work there. And
they learned a plenty, they say.
His former followers there, ac-
cording to the committe, charged
that Ferguson had:
Maintained a regular harem in
his "Bible" school.
Exercised an almost mystic in
flunce over girls and women of his
flock.
Brought men, women and chill
dren from Ohio, Indiana, Nebraska,
Missouri and Iowa to live in his
colony.
Led them to strip themselves of
all their possessions, transferring
all of them to him.
Then invested the mony, thus
collected in his own name.
Had immoral relations with the
matrons in his dormitory.
Refused to pray for dying
child until father had first given
him $4,000.
Ferguson, at home here, denies
charges. His wife is loyal to him.
They declare the charges have
nver been proven in court.
