April 30 —"1 aw glad to be home again” With these words John Alexander Dowle, the deposed leader of the Christian Catholic church in America, stepped within the portals of Shiloh House, thus completing bis much bernided entry loto Zien City after an abseuce of severs! months, during which time Le bad been desert: #4 by a large part of bis followers and had been stripped of all ecclesiastical nuthority. Mrs. Dowie, the wife of the “first apostle,” met him at the door of Ehiloh House and gave Bim a hearty welcoine. Dewia's return to Zion City was veld of all pomp aud esremony. Only a handful of people were at the station to greet him, aud the majority of these were women. He was accompanied by several of his personal attendants. As Dowie alighted from the train he was greeted by shouts of “Peace to thee.” He responded with the custom- ary “Peace to thee multiplied.” “I bave done nothing since 1 saw your faces,” he sald, “of which to be ashamed. Not ote of the accusations made against me Is true—not one. God bless you! Peace to thee!’ Wilbur Glean Voliva and his follow: ors held a meeting ln the tabernacle, the auditorinm being abeut two-thirds full.

He was attired ln a new apos- tollc robe of whites, gold and purple On his head was a turban of marvel ous pattern, embroidered In purple and gold. He delivered his address sented before the sitar. Oaly eesasienmally, when roused fo an unusual piteh eof earnestness, did be rise. Mrs. Dowie, who bas severed ber al- legiance with Voliva, sat in a wicker chalr among Dowie's followers In the congregation. Except for former Mayor R. D. Harper, Dowie was alone on the platform. He prefaced his sermon by a spirited denial of the charges that have been brought against bim by Ve- liva and others. Dowie paid a tribute to Mrs. Dowle. “My wife has some noble qualities, but she was misled and |mposed upen. They used har until they were through with her and then cast her aside. My son played tricks on me which he ought not to have douse, but he, toe, was deceived.” A Day of Rest For Ban Francisce.
