 About 1920 the avalanche of court attacks let loose in earnest. From then on, Purnsll was under almost constant attack. Finally, early in 1923, when warrants were sworn out by two former members of the colony for an alleged crime carrying with it life imprisonment. Purnell retired to hiding place and re- mained q fugitive until the fall of 1923, when state police seized him in an unexpected raid upon the colony.

By the Associated Press,
 From a farm boy, Benjamin Pur- nell became in itinerant preacher. jack -all-trades, founder of q reli-
 gious cult and finally absolute spirit
 ual and temporal ruler of his own
 little domain. As he reached the pinnacle Of his power and influence, i his health declined, dissension ap- peared in his band of followers, and litigation which had been piling up for many years descended upon him.
 Born in Kentucky. March 27, 1861, i Purnell had only the most meagre education. When he was sixteen he
 married Angelina Brown. the daush- ter of Greenup county farmer. AC- cording to her story on the witness stand. Purnell always was shiftless. He liked to lie around in the sun or go visiting where all he had to do
 was 'eat and sleep" In two years,
 he deserted her and their child. 'IEc just went away and stayed fifty years" the woman said.
 Purnell next turned up in Ohio. In 1880. he married Mary Stollard,
 who later became the famed Queen Mary" By his own admission he did not divorce his first wife because he
 thought 1t was unnecessary. Purnell and his wife took up years later, they knocked at the door
 of Prince" Michael K. Mills colony in Detroit and were admitted as
 members. It was there that Purnell absorbed the ideas upon which he
 later built the House of David Colony
 As a preacher who could bring in converts, Purnell found favor in the eyes of Prince Mike" as he was 1 known, and rose to be an officer of the cult. Mills was arrested and sent to jail for alleged miStreatmcnt of
 colonists. While the prince" was imprisoned, Purnell and Mrs. Mills disagreed over the control Of the colony.
 About 1895. Purnell announced
 
 and that he was the true Seventh Messenger" He told those who had signified their willingness to follow him that the graph had descended and selected him as the vehicle for the spirit of truth and the other mysterious functions with which he claimed to be endowed. The basic tenet of the faith founded by Johan- na Southcote in England in 1920. was that a messenger would lead 144,000 select souls to everlasting life on earth. Six self-styled Ines sengers" preceded Purnell. He taught that he was the last md would carry out the prophecy.
 In 1903. Purnell went to Benton Harbor. Michigan, with a handful of
 faithful followers and set up the House of David. Its first quarters

they are holding the body for three days"
 Early this morning only a conn., Darativel' few of the colony who live at the headquarters grounds knew that Benjamin had died.
 or those who did know that death had come to the 6G year old seventh Messenger" many declined to believe it,
 Those who accepted Dr. Sowers' word that Benjamin lived no more said thoy were confident that he would rise as Christ arose, on the third day.
 This is the third day since Ben jamins death.
 Under the state law regarding the handling of the dead Benjamin must be moved within - hours.
 The passing of Purnell came just IS he was making the greatest fight O. his career for the existence ot the colony he founded a quarter century ago. Only few weeks ago the col ony lad been ordered into receiver ship and Purnell. with his queen" Mary Purne1, was ordered to leave the colony, An appeal to the state supreme court stayed execution of tho recelvcrship and banishment or der.
 In his court appearances during the hearing of the receivership ac- ton brought by the state, Purnell was carried in on a stretcher. In the latter proceedings as the receiver ship order was being perfected, phy- sicians' certificates were presented by W. J. Bernard, associate counsel with the colony attorney, to show that Purnell's death was matter of short time only. The colony attor- ney. H. T. Dewhirst denied this, as- serting Benjamin would not die. To this Bernard declared he didn't be- lieve a word Of it.
 Dewhirst today was confident Benjamin will live again. While ac- will insist the body be held as long IL the colony S the law will permit.
 Under the state law a body must he cared for by an undertaken or buried within 72 hours after disso- lution has occurred. The local health authorities can permit body to lie untouched an additional A hours If the condition of the body warrants such delay.
 Queen Mary was not at the bed side when death came to the leader of the House of David.
 When death came to Benjamin the woman who had given the best years of her life to Ben jamin's insti tuition was in her own apartments in another building on the colony grounds.
 Word Of Benjamin's passing was carried 10 her by one of the girls who had attended the king" in his last days.

 Even Purnell and his wife were poorly clad and sometimes close to actual want.
 The years brought prosperity and the colony grew to wealth. For a time il tlourished peacefully. Then came charges and counter charges of fraud, mistreatmcnt of colony girls and subsequent grand jury investigation and trial. Purnell went into seclusion and remained until 1926, when he was seized in a raid on the colony. When the king" came out from his hiding place he was changed figure, shrunkcn with illness.

 The faith forbade trimming the hair or beard, prohibited eating meat and set forth rigid code of morals and rules Of conduct. Despite this Purnell as he grew older, was ac- Cused by followers who deserted him of trimming his beard, rounding the frayed edges of his hair and keep ing both dyed lustrous brown.

proven how simple, after all, is

Granting that he knew how to

Town Growth

Some towns, like Topsy, just
grow up. They concern them
selves with neither direction MOI
destination. They accept. that
which comes to them unbidden
and unsought, They build with
olt thought of present or futur. :.
If their streets are s. raight an
broad it is only because they jusl
happen to be so. If their COM
mercial industrial and r, s dentia
sections do not encroach upon
one another it does not indicate
hat it is because forces have been
a. work to prevent such encroacE-
nent. If towns of this type grow
md prosper it is becauseth they en-
10Y some particular natural ad-
vantage which forbids commun-
ity stegnancy.
And then there is another type
If town. They have both direc-
ton and destination. They seek
out and bid to come that which
they otherwise would not be CIV
en- tho privilege Of accepting.
They build like the engineer, Civ
ing thought to the unity of the
whole and the relationship Of the
component part. Their streets are
purpos ely stra ght and b GA They
preserve we'll define boundaries
between the residential, CONNER
cial and industrial districts. Even
without the advantage of natural
opportunities towns of this type
grow and prosper.
Thus it behooves every town to
make the best of what it has and
then to discover more that it may
make the best of it also. Estab-
lished communities are deprived
the privilege Of determining thei,
own beginnings but they are the
masters of their own destinies.

How To Avoid Propagar. d !

Here is a free lecture to our
se'ves. 1t tells all about how to
avoid propaganda of the very
appearance of evil" in running a
newspaper.
Editors are sometimes charged
with printing news" articles
thinly yelled with news interests
but in propaganda for some COM
modify of merchandise or COM
mercialized interest.
If an editor writes about the
joys of motoring he is boosting
the automobile game. If ..e gives
p ecial patience to the account ct
a wedding ceremony he is adver-
Using the minister. If he advises
eating raw carrots heis discrimi-
eliminating in favor of the veg
etable man and against the can
ned goods merchant. If he stoops
over his desk in a dark office and
writes Of the health-giving quill
ties of fresh air and sunshine he
is hurting the practice of physi-
clans. If he publishes mice"
articles that tend to amend and
patch up family difficulties he is
hurting the business of the di-
vorce lawyers.
Go on down the line of human
effort and up the scale of human
interest and you will find that it
is hard to draw the line between
what appears to be propaganda
on the one hand and Simon pure
Journalistic effort on the other.
In fact, such line can not be
drawn. and it is doubtful if any
considerable number of people
want it drawn.
In our complex civilization
there is only one wav for an ed
itor to advoid tt e pi f Is Ct con-
mercialism, whether originating
from within or imposed without.
That way is to sell his paper and
buy a farm (small down payment
and the rest like rent and there
after live the life of the indepen-
dent tiller of the soil. There is
another way ofcourse, but we
hesitate to do it, as the note we
would leave might be construed
as propaganda fer the unGert;-
Eor
