pers was called to the work
and publicity grew. AS a result
of this publicity Tabernacle
No. L." as the building was
called, was soon crowded. Dur
ing that winter people would
come and stand on the snow
banks outside the windows to
listen.
With this success, of course,
came an attendant antagonism
and Zion Tabernacle No. 1 was
scathingly referred to by GER
tain Chicago ministers as the
miserable little Wooden
Hut" Characteristically, DR..
Dowie took up the name and
his headquarters there on
Stony Island and Sixty-second
street were more often than
not referred to by himself and
his people as 'The Little
Wooden Hut"
To relieve the pressure at
the tabernacle, in the spring of
1894 DR.. Dowie rented the
Central Music Hall. at that
time the second-largest audit
orium in Chicago, for a series
of meetings. From there the
work was removed to the Arm
DRY of Battery D on the Lake
Front, but these quarters prov
ed to be unsuitable for the
work.
Daily meetings were being
held at Tabernacle No. 1 dur
ing this period with the Lords
Day service held either in Gen.
trail Music Hall or in the Arm
DRY at Battery D. All of these
meetings were attended by
large crowds. The growth of
the work compelled DR.. Dowie
to expand his quarters consid-
erably.
In the spring of 1895 Zion
Tabernacle No. 2 was put into
operation. The building in
which this was located had
been secured in 1894 and Zion
Printing and Publishing House
had already been established
in it. The second floor of this
building was remodeled to &C
commodate about 1900 per-
sons, but even this proved too
small during the summer and
subsequent months of 1895.
In addition to the meeting
places in operation, several Di-
vine Healing Homes were also
opened. By the end of 1895,
however, they were too small
to accommodate the guests
who came in ever-increasing
numbers, and in May of 1896,
a large hotel located at Michi-
gan Boulevard and Twelfth
Street, (now Roosevelt Road),
was leased, renovated and
opened under the name, Zion
Home.
The Divine Healing Homes
received the particular atten-
ton of the American Medical
Association and the civil auth
critics in Chicago, it being
their contention that John
Alexander Dowie was practic-
ing medicine and operating
hospitals without license.
During the year 1895 DR..
Dowie was arrested no less
than one hundred times ON

A BIOGRAPHY OF

it's sufferings.
John Alexander Dowie was
educated in the Edinburgh
schools, principally at the Ar
thur Street Academy. Due to
frail health and other diff
culties, his attendance was not
as regular as it might have
been. However, his formal ed
ucation was supplemented by
extensive private reading.
In the year 1861 the family
left for Australia, where
young Dowie entered the en-
ploy of an uncle. From that
time until he returned to Scot
land in 1868, he went from
one dry-goods firm to another,
building a splendid reputation
as promising young business
man. 1t was the opinion OF
those who knew him during
this period, that, had he con-
tinued in his commercial pur-
suits, he would have unques-
tionably become one of Aus
tralia's foremost business men.
In 1867, however, John AL
exander Dowie decided to en-
ter the ministry. For fifteen
months, under private tutel-
age, he made preparation to
enter Edinburgh University,
which he did in 1868. For the
next three years he was a stu
dent in the arts and theologic-
al departments, but found
himself in little sympathy with
the dogmatic theology of the
day, and though he was
brilliant student, yet, because
of his variance with his pro-
fessors and with the accepted
modes, he left the university
before receiving a degree. Be-
cause of overwork and failing
health, he was called back to
Australia, arriving there in
1871.
He began to study privately
again, preparing himself for
the Congregational ministry,
and was ordained at Alma in
1872. For the next five or six
years he held various pastor
ates in southeastern Australia,
but was finally led to believe
that his greatest field of action
was in evangelistic work, and
in 1877 severed his connec-
lions with the Congregational
union and began his indepen-
dent evangelistic action in the
Sydney theaters.
The year before, in 1876,
he married his cousin, Jane
Dowie, to which union there
was born three children; Glad
stone, Esther, and one child
who passed away in infancy.
All during his Congrega-
tional ministry and the later
evangelistic work, he was ex-
tremely active in the anti
liquor movement. AS a result
of this activity he created a
tremendous stir and even went
so far as to run for Parliament
as a member for east Sydney,
but was defeated by a small
majority in favor of a wealthy
brewer. He made no further
attempts to obtain political Of
fico

ed illegal and from then on the
Divine Healing Homes were
permitted to operate without
molestation.
Eighteen ninety five was
known as the "Year of Perse-
cution." The numerous arrests,
the wide publicity given to the
court fight, and DR.. Dowie's
single-handed battle, aroused
a tremendous interest in his
work. AS a result, still larger
crowds flocked to hear him.
At no time during his Amer
lean ministry had DR.. Dowie
considered the establishment
of a new sect or denomination,
and even during 1894 and the
early part of 1895 when the
work was growing very rapid
ly, he refused to entertain all
suggestions that he establish
new church.
AS people were converted
and healed under his ministry
he sent them back to their
home churches, urging them to
testify to Gods goodness, and
in the circle of their own de-
nomination work for their
Lord and do everything they
could to extend His kingdom.
However an ever-increasing
desire was growing among
those who were attending
DR.. Dowie's meetings, that
he formerly organize a
church in which they
could have fellowship. AS a
result, the opening weeks of
1896 saw DR.. Dowie, with
group of men who had assoc
lated themselves with him in
his work, meeting and holding
conferences with the view of
establishing a church.
On February 20, 1896, a
formal organization meeting
was held at which five hum
dred persons were present.
These people filled out appli-
cations for fellowship in the
new organization and became
charter members of the Chris
tian Catholic Church. The dis
cussions of the preliminary or
ganization meetings and the
report of the meeting of Feb
ruary %, 1896, are fully told
in the Reorganization Pamph-
let"
The basis for fellowship was
and remains to the present as
follows:
FIRST-That we recog-
nize the infallible inspira-
ton and sufficiency of the
Holy Scriptures as the rule
of faith and practice.
SECOND-That we rec
ogniZe that no persons can
be members of the Church
who have not repented of
their sins and have not
trusted in Christ for Saliva
ton.
THIRD = That such per-
sons must also be able to
make a good profession, and
declare that they do know,
in their own hearts, that
they have truly repented,
and are truly trusting Christ
and have the witness, in a
