COMPENDIUM EDITION

- Revelation xxii:ii

Compiled by
Professor Benedictus

Wentworth, Ph.D., M.Sc., FRS., CEng.

Mechanical Engineering [Stanford University US (1994, 1987)]

D.Th., B.Th. in Biblical Theology [University of Chester UK (2009, 2003)]

This is a humble effort of compiling a set of selected publications of the Apostle John Alexander
Dowies most fondly periodical Leaves of Healing. Let this be a tribute to that man of God who
once shook the whole world by demonstrating in public the healing power of God in the name of Jesus
Christ. A man who overcame the world and superimposed Zion on earth through the power of the
Holy Spirit even as it was set ablaze in his heart by the Word of God.

Ben Wentworth.

FIRST PUBLISHED AT THE FORMATIVE OLD GATE OF ZION NEHEMIAH iii:vi

Remove not the ancient landmark, which thy fathers have set. Seest thou a man diligent in his work? He
shall take his position before kings; he shall not stand before commoners How long ye simple ones will ye
love simplicity? And the scorners delight in their scorning, and fools hate knowledge? And so all, vision hath
become unto you, as the words of a writing that is sealed, which is delivered unto one learned saying Read
this, I pray thee and he saith I cannot, for it is sealed; and then the book is delivered to him that is not
learned saying Read this, I pray thee and he saith I cannot for I am not learned
Proverbs xxii:xxviii, i:xxiii & Isaiah xxix:xi

With my mouth will I make known Thy faithfulness to all generations Forsake
me not; until I have shewed Thy strength unto this generation, and Thy power to
everyone that is to come
The Psalter LXXXIX:I & LXXI:XVIII

But the Fear not rang in Noahs heart, and when at last he landed on
that mountain and came down, God gave him once more the command,
AFTERNOON MEETING, DEC. 20, 1896.

FEAR NOT.
INVOCATION.
Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in Thy sight,
and profitable unto this people, and to all in every land to whom these words shall come,
oh Lord, my Strength and my Redeemer.

I invite your prayerful attention to the words, recorded by St. Luke, 2d

chapter, 10th and 11th verses:
And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for behold, I bring you good tidings of great
joy, which shall be to all people.
For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ, the
Lord.

THE ANGEL SAID UNTO THEM, FEAR NOT: FOR BEHOLD,

I BRING YOU GOOD TIDINGS OF GREAT JOY, WHICH SHALL
BE TO ALL PEOPLE.
Fear not is the key-note of the Gospel, and it is the last note.
The Alpha and Omega of all that is blessed.
The ;#/ the glad tidings and the Evangel of God is Fear
not.
Those who falsely declare that the Christian religion is based upon fear,
have no conception of its glorious realities.
Fear has no place within the Christian breast.
The word of God declares in unmistakable language the truth on all
that point when the apostle John says,
There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear . . . He that feareth is not
made perfect in love.

The love of a loyal heart, that is absolutely confident that its love is not
misplaced, is a love without fear; and if there is fear in the breast of any
who say that they love God, then let me tell you that your love must be far
short of the Divine Standard.
THERE IS NO FEAR IN LOVE.
It is not a Divine love where there is fear, for a Divine love is absolutely
without fear.
Fear not.
That key-note of the angelic message at Bethlehem comes down to us
to-day, and reminds us that in every age this has been Gods great, first
message to His people.
When trembling beneath the awful burden of their sin, and driven out
of Paradise, it was God Himself who brought a message of blessing and
bade the trembling, sinful man and woman to know that in due time the
seed of the womanmark it; not the seed of the manshould bruise the
head of the serpent.
The Gospel was first proclaimed then in Eden; the Gospel of Hope and
the Gospel of Faith, and the Gospel of Love, and the Gospel of Faith
without doubt; a Hope over which the shadow of despair never comes,
and a Love where fear never enters.
It was because they doubted that they despaired; it was because they
feared that they ceased to love and to obey; but the message came then,
Fear not, and the assurance was given of an ultimate salvation.
But the days grew dark. There seemed no hope of salvation. The first
born son of man was a murderer, and when Abel lay stark and cold,
stretched out beside the altar of the sacrificial lamb-dead as the lambhis
vanishing breath, which the name of Abel means,seemed to be an end
of hope
But not so, for Seth was given, and his name is compensation, and in
his lineage there arose a man whose name was Noah, which means the
rest bringer; and he was, under God, the Moses who led Gods people
out. But how did he lead them out?
He was the deliverer whom God inspired with faith amidst a faithless
world; so faithless that the whole race of Cain had so infected the race of
Seth that besides Noah, his wife and six others, there was not one living
being upon this Gods earth whose thoughts were not of evil, and that
continually, and they were swept away.
And God saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every
imagination of the thoughts of his heart was evil continually. [ Hebrew, every day.]

But the message came to Noah, Fear not, and God shut him up and
floated off his ark away upon the dark waters, and shut away from his eyes
and ears the awful sights that followed when the doomed race climbed
from mountain heighth to mountain heighth with the wild beasts and the
serpents to escape an ever rising flood, until the highest mountains of the
earth were covered, and every human thing and every living thing was
buried beneath the avalanche of waters from heaven, and the great
fountains of the deep that burst forth.

Be fruitful and multiply and replenish the earth.

This is the same command that God had given to Adam, which, by the
way, indicates that before Adam this earth had been populated. Adam,
who came upon it as the first man, was given the Divine command,
Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it.

The same thing that was said to Noah, which always makes me believe
that some other race had occupied this earth and had been cast out of it;
and when I see these demon powers from hell so determined to re-possess
this earth, I sometimes ask myself, Were not they the race that was cast out
of it by God before Adam was placed upon it after the chaos and the
formless desert to which God had reduced it when He cast these angels
down to hell?
However that may be, I cannot tell, but it seems to me to indicate
clearly a pre-Adamite race.
However, Noah received the command, Fear not, and as the earth
began to be populated, again man went into ever deeper depths of
degradation, and to prophet after prophet there came Divine messages and
consolation bidding them to Fear not, as they were led to expect
deliverance from God.
For instance, Abraham, who was called out of the darkness of
heathenism: who doubtless in his early days was a heathen, and of whom
it is said in a rabbinical legend that he was a worshipper of nature, and
turned with disgust from the filthiness of nature.
Then he worshipped the heroic men and gods, and turned with disgust
from their filthiness.
Then he said, I will worship that glorious orb, as the silvery
moonbeams poured down upon him one night; but while he was
worshipping his god in the moon, it set, and he said, I cannot worship a
god that goes from my sight.
Then the night passed on and the glorious sun rose, And now, he
said, I will worship the sun; and it passed on and set, and he said, I
cannot worship a god that sets from my sight.
Then the stars rose, and he said, I will worship the heavenly host, but
as he looked at them, star after star set, and Abraham cried, Oh, Thou,
who hast made heaven and earth and all the starry hosts, whom I know
not, whatever Thy name may be, reveal this to me, and I will worship
Thee.
The rabbinical legend says, Fear not, Abraham, came to him, and the
Bible says it, and that is better; that in His seeking God there came that
word
Fear not, Abram, I am thy shield, and thy exceeding great reward.

And every time his heart was faint the words would ring out,
FEAR NOT.
If you will take this Bible and read that old Testament through, you will
see how prophet after prophet was inspired by that message that came
straight from heaven, Fear not; how it came to those that served God!
When the trembling child Samuel heard the voice of God calling in the
templethe light burned low in the temple of God, and the aged high
priest saw that God had called the childhe said, Speak, Lord; for thy
servant heareth. And it was the Fear nots that stilled the heart of the little
one, and he went forth to do Gods will.
The Fear nots filled the hearts of those who fought for God, as David
in his period when he went forth with his five stones in the shepherds sling
taken out of the running brook, and slew the great giant before whose face
all the hosts of Israel fled.
The Fear not was in the hearts of all those great judges who were the
deliverers of Gods people.
Fear not came to Gideon when he had 32,000 men against a host, and
God told him there were too many. He told him to sound a trumpet and
let those that were afraid to go back, and 22,000 went back at once, and
there remained10,000.
Again He told him to bring them down to the water and said, those that
do not lap, putting their hands to their mouth, send home, and there were
300 left, and God said to him,
Arise, get thee down unto the host; for I have delivered it into thine hand.

Fear not, and he set the plan of battle, and ere the morning sun arose
the host was defeated.
So that Fear not came from heaven when Elisha at Dothan stood and
looked upon the great host that were seeking for his lifes blood in that
little mountain city, and he said to his servant,
Fear not; for they that be with us are more than they that be with them.

I suppose he thought that his master was evidently insane: for Dothan
was but a little town, and there were, perhaps, a million foes, but the
answer came, Fear not, and God enabled Elisha to pray the prayer:

168

LEAVES OF HEALING

Jehovah, I pray thee, open his eyes, that lie may see.

And in a moment he saw the mountain was full of horses and chariots of
fire and the hosts of heaven wheeling around that city, and trooping out
from all the stars, and standing around the servant of God, and covering
his head in the day of battle. And blindness fell upon that heathen host
and they were led into Samaria, and
the bands of Syria came no more into the land of Israel.

So the Fear not rang out in every age and to Isaiah and Jeremiah and
all the great prophets, and to all those who got a message from God, as did
Daniel when this same angel Gabriel came again and again, he would say,
Oh man, greatly beloved, Fear not.

I want to tell you that that Fear not is the keynote and the last note of
the Gospel, and that when Gabriel came to Mary, and said, Fear not,
Mary, when he appeared to Zacharias and told of the coming of John the
Baptist and said, Fear not, Zacharias; when that angel appeared with the
heavenly host in Bethlehem the night that Christ was born and said,
Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy,

it was but the initial note of the Gospel of that Perfect Love that
emancipates those who have it from all fear.
When I see men and women trembling in fear before the face of man,
I know that they are not made perfect in love.
FEAR NOT IS THE CHRISTMAS GREETING.
It was a favorite word of Christ.
When His disciples were being sent forth as sheep in the midst of
wolves, He said, Fear not them which kill the body.
When the man, whose daughter He had promised to heal, received the
message that she was dead, Christ said, Fear not; believe only, and went
to raise that dead unto life.
At all times, and under all circumstances, the angelic message and the
Christs message has been the same,
FEAR NOT.
Why are ye so fearful? How is it that ye have no faith?

When Christ has passed out of the grave, and loving hearts sought to
find Him in His tomb, they found the angel who said,
Fear not. . . He is not here; for He is risen, as He said.

When they went forth to do their work and were put in prisons, how
often, as in the first portion of the Acts of the Apostles, you will find the
prison doors were opened and the angel of the Lord took them out, and
said, Fear not,
Go stand and speak in the temple to the people all the words of this life.

And they went and did it, though they knew that death and the cross
were before them.
You remember how Paul was tossing in the storm on the Mediterranean
Sea, amidst the trembling hearts of all those convicts, and of the centurion
and his soldiers, as day after day the helpless vessel was being driven
before the storm, driven upon the lee shore of Malta, and how said Paul
one morning to the Centurion,
There stood by me this night the angel of God, whose I am, and whom I serve.
Saying, Fear not, Paul.

And then he tells how that angel showed him that the vessel would be
cast upon an island, but that not one should be lost, if the sailors remained
in the vessel.
So the Fear not goes on, and you take the last book of the Bible, and
you open it and see the risen and glorified Christ in the body of His glory
appearing to John his servant in Patmos Isle, and John who had known the
Lord in the body of his humiliation was staggered with the sight of that
glorious body, of which you read the description there, His countenance
shining as the sun in his strength. The glory of that wondrous body so
filled him with aweespecially as he saw that sharp sword, which is the
word of God proceeding out of His mouththat he fell at His feet as dead.
The Christ, the risen, the glorified, the Christ who sways the scepter of
universal empire on the throne of the Father, reached His hand down and
lifted His servant up and said,
Fear not; I am the first and the last; I am He that liveth, and was dead;. and, behold,
I am alive for ever more, Amen; and have the keys of hades and death.

FEAR NOT.
To me this Christmas-tide, as every morning and every day, the angels
song that rings out is the Divine message bidding me not to fear. (Amen)
Fear not! and I say to Zion, Oh Zion, fear not! (Amen.) They may be
numerous that are against us, but they are more that are for us, and the unseen hosts of heaven will troop from every star and come down and the

angels will sweep low, if need be, but God shall rise and His enemies shall
be scattered. (Amen.)
FEAR NOT.
A glorious message it is, a message of the Gospel of the glory of God.
Fear not.
Jehovah is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? Jehovah is the strength of
my life; of whom shall I be afraid?
When the wicked, even mine enemies and my foes, came upon me to eat up my
flesh, they stumbled and fell.
Though an host should encamp against me, my heart shall not fear: though war
should rise against me, in this will I be confident.
One thing have I desired of Jehovah, that will I seek after; that I may dwell in the
house of Jehovah all the days of my life to behold the beauty of Jehovah, and to enquire
in His temple.
For in the time of trouble He shall hide me in His pavilion: in the secret of His
tabernacle shall He hide me; He shall set me upon a rock.
And now shall mine head be lifted up above mine enemies round about me:
therefore will I offer in His tabernacle sacrifices of joy; I will sing, yea, I will sing praises
unto Jehovah.

The praise note that I sing to-day, not on Christmas morn merely, is
Fear not.
FEAR NOT.
Why shall we fear if God has sent us the glad tidings of great joy which
are for all people!
Now what are these glad tidings? The glad tidings which tell me that
before the worlds foundations were laid the Lamb of God slain had
conquered Satan and sin and death and hell somewhere else.
Friends, we are too narrow, a great deal too narrow. And we make
Redemption too narrow.
There are a great many people whose religion is like that of a man who
said he loved the Lord, and he had family worship, and he used to pray,
and this was his prayer: Oh Lord bless me and my wife, my son John and
his wife, us four and no more. Amen. (Laughter.)
Friends, are we much broader by nature?
It is bless me and my church, my fellow ministers and their church; just
these and no more. Amen. (Laughter.)
The Episcopalian will not preach and he will not pray for the
Methodists,
The Roman Catholic will not preach or pray for any of them, not that
it would help matters a bit as far as the efficacy of their preaching or prayer
are concerned, but it is an awful travesty of a Christianity that has its roots
away deep in eternity, to make it a poor, miserable, narrow thing, the
property of petty sects.
Friends, Satan lived before the world was made in its present form. The
angels fell and some one conquered in that fight, which drove them down
to hell; some one conquered in that fight which drove them from the
heavens into the abyss.
I BELIEVE HE CONQUERED WHO LEADS ALL THE ARMIES
OF THE HEAVENS: THE FAITHFUL AND TRUE.
And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and He that sat upon him was
called Faithful and True; and in righteousness He doth judge and make war.
His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on His head were many crowns; and He had a
name written that no man knew but He Himself:
And He was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and His name is called The
Word of God.
And the armies which were in heaven followed Him upon white horses, clothed in
white linen, white and clean.
And out of His mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it He should smite the nations:
and He shall rule them with a rod of iron: and He treadeth the wine press of the wrath of
Almighty God.
And He hath on His vesture and on His thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS
AND LORD OF LORDS.

He conquered because He knew how to die; because before the worlds

foundation He knew how to die for sinners some where else; I tell you if
it were necessary for the Christ to reincarnate Himself a thousand times in
a thousand worlds, He would do it. He would incarnate Himself to save a
lost race.
By the death of Christ things have been cleansed, not merely on the
earth, but in the heavens: for it is written,
Having made peace through the Blood of His Cross to reconcile all things unto
Himself; by Him, I say, whether things upon the earth or things in the heavens.

I want that there shall be given unto us all a broader view of the
incarnation, of the atoning sacrifice, of the resurrection life, of the
priesthood, and of the kingship of Christ.
We are too narrow even to broaden out His life to meet this worlds
needs, let alone other worlds. Men are defining their theology that Christ
tasted death for some men, but he tasted death forwho?
AudienceAll men.
Dr. Dowie:----Every man. And I, if I be lifted up will draw, some men?
Audience:All,
Dr. Dowie: Then you had better believe He is going to do it. Oh the
depth, the boundless depths of eternity, and the heighth, and the length,
and the breadth of that Love which hath concluded all in sin that He might

169

LEAVES OF HEALING
have mercy upon some?
Audience:All.
Dr. Dowie:Upon all, friends: for it is written,
God hath concluded them all in unbelief that He might have MERCY UPON ALL.
O the depths of the riches both of the Wisdom and Knowledge of God! How
unsearchable are His judgments, and His Ways past finding out.

I believe in the gospel that is co-extensive with the necessities of every

miserable being in the universe. (Amen.) That wherever there is misery,
Love goes to save, to heal, and to fight, and fight,
AND FIGHT,
and put a Fearless Love in the hearts of the great army that follow Him on
white horses, against the Beast. They who follow Him are Called, and
Chosen, and Faithful.
Friends, glad tidings is a Gospel; glad tidings to some people?
Audience:All.
Dr. Dowie:To all the people in some time?
Audience:All time.
Dr. Dowie:In some conditions?
Audience:----All conditions.
Dr. Dowie:Friends, I will not attempt to co-operate
with a man that limits God. I will fight him as though he were an
incarnate devil. Limit God? Limit Gods mercy?
His mercy is from?
Audience:Everlasting.
Dr. Dowie:Unto?
Audience:----Everlasting.
Dr. Dowie:His mercy endureth forever?
Audience:And ever.
Dr. Dowie:It is the nature of our Father and God to have mercy. It is
glad tidings, and I will tell you why. You can go down to the most penitent
and withered and sin-stricken and disease-smitten men and women covered
with all the guilt and shame that hell could put upon them, and you can
say.
Christ died for you. (Amen.) No limits, no limits, no limits!
WHEN I LIMIT GOD'S LOVE, I LIMIT GOD.
I say to thee, do thou repeat
To the first man thou mayest meet,
On lane, highway, or open street,
That he, and we, and all men move
Under a canopy of love,
Broader than the blue sky above:
That grief and sorrow. and care and pain,
And anguish, all, are shadows vain;
That death itself will not remain;
That weary deserts he may tread,
Lifes dreariest labyrinths may thread
Through dark ways under ground be led,
Yet, if he will the Christ obey,
The darkest night, the dreariest way
Shall issue out in perfect day,
And we, on divers shores oft cast,
Shall meet, our perilous voyage past,
All in our Fathers home at last.
And ere thou leave Him, tell Him this,
They only miss
The winning of that perfect bliss,
Who will not count it true that blessing, not cursing, rules above,
And that in God we live and move;
That God whose name is Love.

Never forget it, will you, there are no limits but to your own miserable
sin and sickness and sorrow and the devils power; he had a beginning and
he is going to have an end, blessed be God.
No revelation is given to us of the Kingdom of Darkness, and error, and
hell, that they will have to be put into some dark abyss, a lid put upon it,
and Almighty Power to sit upon it, and keep it down throughout all
eternity for fear the devil should escape again.
It is not going to be; for I read in Gods Word,
And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire.

The glad good tidings that I have for you is this: that the reign of Satan,
sin, and disease, death and hell shall cease, and that you and I may have
deliverance now, (Amen) and may march in the army that is marching to
victory now, and that if we do not believe, we will go to hell to join the
great multitudes who would not trust their God, but followed the standard
of the devil.
There are two armies, and only two.
Along our ranks no sabers shine;
No blood red pennons wave,
Our banners bear one single line;
Our mission is to save.

But there is another army,

It marches to the drum beat roll,

The deep mouthed clarions bray

And bears upon a crimson scroll
Our mission is to slay.

These two armies exist, but the glad tidings is this: that we who leave
the service of Satan and sin, shall find Salvation and Healing, and Life, and
Heaven; and we shall fight with weapons tempered in the fire of Eternal
Love, with the armor that the Christ Himself hath given us, and has made
with His own Divine Power; the helmet of Salvation; the loins are girt with
Truth; the breast-plate is the Eternal Righteousness of Christ; and the feet
are shod with the Preparation of the Gospel of Peace; the shield is the
bright shining Shield of Faith; and the sword with which we fight, is the
Sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of God.
The grass withereth, the flower fadeth: but the Word of our God shall stand for ever.

Surely the enemies of God are like the grass and the flower that fades,
but the word of our God shall stand for ever; so we enlist there, and we
say that the Lord is hurrying up things.
BEGINNING OF THE TWENTIETH CENTURY.
I want to tell you a thing that perhaps some of you do not know. On the
25th day of December, 1897, the twentieth century will begin; the
Dionysian era, that is universally admitted by scholars, is out by four years;
and, instead of this being the year 1896, it is an accepted fact that this is the
year 1900. The 1900th year begins on the 25th day, roughly speaking, of
this month when the Christ was born, and we shall enter in 1897 into the
last hundred of the last thousand years before the coming of the millenial
glory. (Amen.)
THE DAWN IS COMING ALREADY OVER THE HILLS OF
DARKNESS.
The light is shining! It is not from the lips of one messenger that stands
upon the plains of Bethlehem that the message is heard; but over all the
earth to-day God is raising up men and women in millions to carry His
Message, and I trust He has raised us up in Chicago to say,
Fear not, for behold I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all
people.

SALVATION FOR EVERY ONE THAT IS WILLING TO BE

SAVED.
Friends, there is no damnation by a predestined election of God. I hate
the damning, accursed doctrine that narrows down my God, and makes
Him a monster. What! You tell me that by a predestined act of God, He
predestined one man to be saved, another to be damned? then a monster
would sit upon the throne, and not our Father.
You tell me that a man by electing grace must be predestined either to
Salvation or damnation, and all I have got to say about it is this, you do
not find that there. [Placing his hand upon the Bible.] It is not there.
ELECTION.
A man said to me the other day, I am greatly in trouble about the
doctrine of election. Did it ever trouble you, Doctor?
I said, No, I was born amid extreme Calvinists that said some were
born to be damned, and some were born to be saved, and I watched them
when I was young, and I would hear a man who would orate upon the
doctrine of election, and he would coolly consign all unbaptized children
to eternal reprobation, and all persons that God had not foreordained, and
he was appropriating to himself that he was of the election and covenant
of Christ, and I have seen that elder, after had laid it all out to his own
satisfaction, laid out by the devil of whiskey-laid out until he spued in his
house, and I said that Doctrine of pre-determined damnation is of the
devil. It reminds of the scathing lines with which Robert Burns began his
Holy Willies Prayer:
O Thou, who in the Heavens dost dwell.
Who, as it pleases best Thyself,
Sends one to heaven and ten to hell,
A for Thy glory,
And no for any guid or ill
Theyve done afore Thee.

That Doctrine is not a message from God, and I watched, friends, and
I found that the doctrine narrowed down and withered grand men; made
their sympathy so weak, and their powers so little that they would preach
twenty years without a convert.
Oh yes, oh yes! I am told that I ought to admire the man that preached
twenty years in a foreign field without a convert. I do not admire him. I
never did.
The man that can preach twenty years without a convert, is a fool,
because he might reap every day. There is not an hour in which he might
not be reaping something. I did not use to see it, but the shadow of that
dark doctrine laid upon my heart for many a long year, although I never
believed it, and when a man said to me one day, Did it ever trouble
you? Yes, I said, it troubled me like bogies trouble babies; but when
I became a man, and knew God, it never troubled me.

LEAVES OF HEALING

Well, how do you define it? said my Scotch friend. I said, There is
just the mischief that we Scotchmen have inherited from our fathers, a
foolish tendency to attempt the definition of the infinite. You want to
define; that is, to put a line around a thing that is infinite. There is your
failing.
Well, he said, how do you explain?
Well, I said, I do not explain it, because I leave God to explain
things. My business is to do what God tells me.
Well, he said, how do you apply doing what God tells you to the
doctrine of election?
Well, I said, David listen, David listen!
EVERY CANDIDATE IS ELECTED;
for God has said by the mouth of His Son, him that cometh to Me I will
in no wise cast out. (Amen. Glory to God.) So every man that comes, and
asks for mercy, and is an honest, penitent candidate, God says is elected.
That has been enough for me, and I have told all men that they may be
candidates. I have told all men that
THERE IS NO ONE WHO BREATHES, AND HAS A HUMAN
HEART WHO IS BEYOND THE REACH OF THE EVERLASTING
GOSPEL.
Listen to these words from the Revelation of Jesus Christ, 14th chapter
and 6th and 7th verses:
And I saw another angel fly in the midst of heaven, having the everlasting gospel to
preach unto them that dwell on the earth, and to every nation, and kindred and tongue
and people,
Saying with a loud voice, Fear God, and give glory to Him; for the hour of His
judgment is come: and worship Him that made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and the
fountains of waters,

The Everlasting Gospel is a Gospel that saves the Spirit; a Gospel that
cleanses the blood; a Gospel that heals the body; a Gospel that purifies the
home; a Gospel which makes anew the City; cleanses the workshop, and
makes a nation happy, and makes the world to ring at last with the glad
song,
Alleluiah: for the Lord God Omnipotent reigneth. . . The kingdoms of this world are
become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of His Christ, and He shall reign forever and
ever.

Friends, I believe in that final triumph of Christ over Satan, of Salvation

over sin, and health over sickness, of life over death: and of heaven over
hell, and the Holy Ghost is willing to bless you and me and put us in
possession of all these blessings of the Gospel, and give us power to carry
them to others who are dwelling in darkness, and the Shadow of death.
Oh thank God that it is not only on a Christmas morning, but as a
ceaseless anthem for everyday, I raise my heart and say in this Voice from
Zion to Gods people in every land,
Alleluia: for
THE LORD GOD OMNIPOTENT REIGNETH,
and we are marching on to conquer for the Christ the kingdoms of this
world, (Amen) until we shall stand by the glassy sea, and raise the flag, and
wave the sword in triumph, and sing with angels from heaven, and the
hosts of all the powers of God throughout the universe. Alleluia; for the Lord
God Omnipotent reigneth. . . . The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of
our Lord, and of His Christ, and He shall reign for ever and ever.

But friends, if we are to stand near the King on that great day, if we are
not to slink away into the darkness, and fear to look into His face, then let
us be brave now; let us be without fear now; let us calculate the cost and
be willing to pay it, laying down life and talent, and money, and strength,
and time; let us pour out our lives unto death that we may live for Christ,
and for those for whom He died.
And may we live to hear another song that will go between this, and
that song of which I have spoken that last final. song of victory. There will
come upon the midnight air of some night the sound of the trump of God,
the voice of the Archangel summoning from all parts of this earth the wise
virgins to rise and trim their lamps, and my Lord, on that midnight hour,
let me be ready! (Amen.)
Let me go forth to meet the bridegroom, and go with Him into the air.
I do not want to live through these dark days which will terminate the
hundred years that we begin with the closing days of 1897.
I KNOW NOT THE HOUR WHEN MY LORD WILL COME.
It may be at morn, when the day is awaking,
When sunlight through darkness and shadow is breaking;
That Jesus will come in the fullness of glory,
To receive from the world His own.
Oh, joy! Oh, delight I should we go without dying,
No sickness, no sadness. no dread and no crying
Caught up through the clouds with our Lord into Glory
When Jesus receives His own.
Oh Lord Jesus, how long, how long,
Ere we hear this glad song,
Christ returneth; Hallelujah ! Hallelujah!, Amen."

Let us be ready. All that want to be ready when the Lord shall come,
rise. Those that cannot rise, hold up their hands.
[Apparently the whole audience rose.]
Hallelujah, it is all!
Friends, answer me, Are you willing to do Gods will?
Can you say I am?
All answer, I am.
Are you willing to do right to all men?
All answer, I am.
Are you willing to confess and forsake sin, and make restoration for
wrong? Can you say I am ?
All answer, I am.
Are you willing to make consecration to God of spirit, and soul, and
body, and life, and time, money, and all things?
Can you say I am?
All answer, I am.
Are you willing to let the Holy Ghost in, and make you all over again
? Can you say I am?
All answer, I am. Then pray with me.
My God and Father, in Jesus name I come to Thee. Take me as I am. Continue to
make me what I ought to be. Give me power to do right to all men, and in Thy sight.
Against Thee have I sinned, Father forgive, and give me power over every doubt by faith;
over despair by hope, over fear by love, over folly by wisdom, over ignorance by
knowledge, over every evil thing by the power of God, by Thy Spirit. Give me Thy Spirit,
and help me to conclude this year, and enter upon the new century which begins next
year, to live on until Thou shalt come: Receive me either when I sleep, or when Thou
shalt call for Jesus sake. Amen. [All repeat the prayer, clause by clause, after Dr. Dowie.]

After singing the Consecration Hymn, I will to Christ belong the

meeting closed with the
BENEDICTION.
Beloved, abstain from all appearance of evil, and the very God of Peace Himself
sanctify you wholly, and I pray God your whole Spirit, Soul and Body be preserved entire
without blame unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ; faithful is He that calleth you,
who also will do it; the grace of our Lord Jesus, the love of God our Father; the fellowship
of the Holy Spirit, our Comforter and Guide, one Eternal God, abide in you, bless you
and keep you and all the Israel of God everywhere, forever. Amen.

LEAVES OF HEALING
DO YOU KNOW THE WAY OF HEALING?
BY REV. JOHN ALEX. DOWIE.

Let it be supposed that the following words are

a conversation between the reader [A] and the writer
[B].
A.
What does this question mean? Do you really
suppose that God has some one especial way of healing
in these days of which men may know and avail
themselves?
B.
That is exactly my meaning, and I wish very
much that you should know Gods Way of Healing, as
I have done for many years.
A.
What is the way in your opinion?
B.
You should rather ask, WHO is Gods Way?
For the Way is a Person, not a thing. I will answer your
question in His own words, I am the Way, the Truth,
and the Life; no man cometh unto the Father but by
Me. These words were spoken by our Lord Jesus
Christ, the Eternal Son of God, who is both our Saviour
and our Healer. John 14:6
A.
But I always thought that these words only
referred to Him as the way of Salvation. How can you
be sure that they refer to Him as the Way of Healing
also?
B.
Because He cannot change. He is the same
yesterday, today and forever. (Hebrews 13:8) He said
that He came to this earth not only to save us but to
heal us, (Luke 4:18) and He did this when in the flesh
on earth. Being unchanged He must be able and willing
and desirous to heal now.

God?
B.
No, there was a still greater purpose than that.
He healed the sick who trusted in Him in order to show
us that He came to die not only for our sins, but for
sicknesses, and to deliver us from both.
A.
Then, if that is so, the atonement which he
made on the Cross must have been for our sicknesses
as well as our sins. Can you prove that is the fact from
the Scriptures?
B.
Yes, I can. And the passages are very
numerous. I need quote two only. In Isaiah 53:4, 5 it is
written of Him. Surely He hath borne our griefs
(Hebrew sicknesses), and carried our sorrows; . . . and
with His stripes we are healed. Then in the Gospel
according to Matthew, this passage is quoted and
directly applied to the work of bodily healing, in
chapter 8, 17th verse. That it might be fulfilled which
was spoken of by Isaiah, the prophet, saying, Himself
took our infirmities, and bare our sicknesses.
A.
But do you not think that sickness is often
Gods will, and sent for our good, and therefore God
may not wish us to be healed?
B.
No, that cannot possibly be, for diseases of
every kind are the devils work, and his work can
never be Gods will, since Christ came for the very
purpose of destroying the works of the Devil, I John
3:8

A.
But is there not this difference, namely, that He
is not with us now?
B.
No; for He said, Lo, I am with you alway, even
unto the end of the world; and so He is with us now,
in Spirit, just as much as when He was here in the flesh.

A.
Do you mean to say that all disease is the work
of Satan?
B.
Yes, for if there had been no sin (which came
through Satan) there never would have been any
disease, and Jesus never in one single instance told any
person that sickness was Gods work or will, but the
very contrary.

A.
But did He not work these miracles of healing
when on earth merely to prove that He was the Son of

A.
Can you prove from scripture that all forms of
sickness and infirmity are the Devils work?

LEAVES OF HEALING
B.
Yes, that can be done very easily. You will see
in Matthew 4:23 and 9:35 that when Jesus was here in
the flesh, He healed every sickness and every disease
among the people. Then if you will refer to Acts 10:38
you will see that the Apostle Peter declares that He
[Jesus] went about doing good, and healing all who
were oppressed of the Devil. Notice that all whom he
healed, not some were suffering from Satans evil
power.
A.
But does disease never come from God?
B.
No, it cannot come from God for He is pure,
and disease is unclean; and it cannot come out of
Heaven, for there is no disease there.
A.
That is very different from the teachings which
I have received all my life from ministers and in the
churches. Do you really think that you are right, and
that they are all wrong in this matter?
B.
It is not a question as between myself and them.
The only question is, What does Gods Word say? God
has said in all the ages to His Church, I am the Lord
that healeth thee, (Exodus15:26) and therefore it
would be wicked to say that he is the defiler of His
people. All true Christians must believe the Bible, and
it is impossible to believe that good and evil, sickness
and health, sin and holiness could have a common
origin in God. If the Bible really taught that, it would
be impossible to believe our Lord Jesus Christ when He
says, A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither
can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit. Matthew 7:18.
A.
But even if I agree with all you say, is it not true
that the gifts of healing were removed from the church,
and are not in it now?
B.
No, the gifts of healing, were never
withdrawn, and can never be withdrawn, from the true
Church of God; for it is written The gifts and calling
of God are without repentance. (Romans 11:29). There
are nine gifts of God to the Church (enumerated in I
Corinthians 12:8 to 11) and all these are in the Holy
Spirit. Therefore, so long as the Holy Spirit is in the
Church. All the gifts must be there also .If they are not
exercised, that does not prove that they do no exist, but
that the faith to exercise them is lacking in Gods
servants. The gifts are all perfectly preserved; for the
Holy Spirit, not the Church keeps them safely.

797

A.
What should a Christian then do when
overtaken with sickness?
B.
A Christian should obey Gods command, and
at once turn to Him for forgiveness of the sin which
may have caused the sickness, and for immediate
healing. Healing is obtained from God in one of four
ways, namely; first by the direct prayer of faith,
without any aid from the officers of the Church,
praying as the Centurion did in Matthew 8:5 to 12;
second, by two faithful disciples praying in perfect
agreement, in accordance with the Lords promise in
Matthew 18:19; third, by the anointing of the elders
and the prayer of faith, according to the instructions in
James 5:14 and 15; and fourth, by the laying on of the
hands of them who believe, and whom God calls to
that ministry, as the Lord commands in Mark 16:18
and in other places.
A.
But are the people healed in this way in these
days?
B.
Yes, in thousands of cases. I have myself laid
hands upon many hundreds of thousands of persons,
and I have seen the Lords power manifested in the
healing of great numbers, many of whom are living
witnesses in many countries, who have testified
publicly before thousands, and who are prepared to
testify at any time. This ministry is being exercised by
devoted Christians in many parts of America, Europe,
Australasia and elsewhere.
A.
Is it not the same as Christian Science, Mind
Healing etc?
B.
No. Divine Healing is diametrically opposed to
these diabolical counterfeits, which are utterly
antichristian. These impostures are only seductive
forms of Spiritualism. Trance Evangelism is also a
more recent form of this delusion, and it deceives
many.
A.
But how shall I obtain the necessary faith to
receive healing, which faith I am at present conscious
I do not possess?
B.
It is written, Faith cometh by hearing, and
hearing by the word of God. (Romans 10:17) Our
Missions are held for the express purpose of teaching
fully the word of God on this matter and I very heartily
invite you to attend the meetings which are announced

for Zion Tabernacle. All are welcome and there are no

charges of any kind made, for all Gods gifts are free
gifts Salvation is the first of these, without which you
cannot be healed through faith in Jesus. All the costs of
this work are covered by the free-will offerings of the
people who attend these meetings, and others whom the
Lord leads to help; but the poorest, who have nothing
to give are as heartily welcome as the richest.
A.
Do you see the sick and lay hands upon them in
this Mission?
B.
Yes, after we feel satisfied that they are fully
resting in the Lord alone for the healing, we see
privately so far as time permits, those who attend; but
under no circumstances do we claim the power to heal
any; for power belongeth unto God.
A.
Have you any writings upon this subject which
can be purchased?
B.
Yes, these can be obtained at the office of Zion
Publishing House, 1207 Michigan Ave., or at Zion
Tabernacle, 1621-23 Michigan Ave. Chicago. Ill. But
the best book on Divine Healing is the Bible itself,
studied prayerfully and earnestly.
We extend to you a hearty invitation to attend
the meetings, which are free to all. Our prayer is that
you may be lead to find in Jesus Christ our Lord and
God, your present Savior from sin, your Healer from
sickness, your Cleanser from all evil, your keeper in the
way to Heaven, your Friend and your All for time and
eternity. We pray that these words may help many who
read, and that our little conversation may bear fruit in
leading many readers to look to Jesus only.
Hush every lip, close every book
The strife of tongues forbear;
Why forward reach, or backward look
For love that clasps like air,
The healings of Christs seamless dress,
Is by all beds of pain
We touch Him in lifes throng and press
And we are whole again.

THE GOSPEL OF DIVINE HEALING
DECLARED AND DEFENDED.
INVOCATION.
Let the words of my mouth and the rneditation of my heart
be acceptable in T hy sight, profitable unto this people. and
unto all to whom these words shall come in this and other
lands, in this and all the coming time for the sake of Jesus, our
Lord, our strength and our Red eem er.

TEXT.
Himse lf took our infirm ities, and bore our sicknesses.

In the 8th chapter of the Gospel according to St.

Matthew it is written:
When the even was come, they brough t unto Him many
that were possessed with dev ils; and H e cast out the spirits with
His word, and healed all that were sick:
That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Esaias the
prophet, saying, Himself took our infirmities, and bare our
sicknesses.

One of the great diplomatists of Europe,

Talleyrand, is said to have uttered there words:
I belie ve that langua ge w as inven ted to conceal thought.

I have oftentimes thought that the language

employed by theologians would lead me to believe
that they had the same opinion as Talleyrand; that
they evidently thought the Word of God was not
intended to convey thought, but to conceal it.
It has amazed me, beyond all expression, all my
life through, to find how people would quibble at
the plainest of plain speech.
If there is anything more clear than another, it is
this, that the New Testament was written for plain
people; that it was written by plain men. They were
not philosophers; they were not theologians; they
were not orators; they were not poets, but they were
greater than all these:
THEY WERE APOSTLES FILLED WITH
THE HOLY GHOST, AND THEY WERE
HONEST MEN.

633

They were chosen because of their

honestyhonest fishermen. And just think of it, an
honest tax-gatherer. The good Lord knows how
much we would value him in Chicago. ( Laughter.)
An honest tax collector. No wonder Matthew was
chosen to be an apostle. I think a man that is an
honest tax collector must be a prodigiously noble
fellow. There are so many temptations to be the
opposite, you know.
But our Lord, in His infinite wisdom, as
Augustine so beautifully put it, saved philosophers
by means of fishermen, and not fishermen by means
of philosophers; and most certainly the great beauty
of His speech was this, that the common people
heard Him gladly. And the words of the New
Testament mean exactly what they say, and nothing
else. There is no hidden meaning.
EVERY GREAT TRUTH IS LIKE THE
VERY OCEAN.
It has shallows in which a child may wade; it has depths
that you cannot fathom, and all the great and
beautiful and simple truths, along the margin of
which we wade, and bathe, and gather up the
pebbles, have great depths beyond. But there is
nothing mysterious even about these depths,
excepting that they are great depths of mysterious
love, and wisdom, and power. I do not say that what
we see of truth is all there is to know; that would be
silly, because there is the vast unfathomable depths
beyond; for the illustration which I have just used,
you will remember, was in the words of Newton,
who, when somebody said how great his
achievements were in science, said: I am only a
child who wanders up and down along a great
seashore of a boundless ocean, picking up a
beautiful pebble here and there, while the great
ocean lies unexplored before me.
And while I do not want to suppose that all we
can know of the truth is simply the fundamental
things we know here, yet let me point out to you
that the future developments of truth will be along
these simple elemental lines; that the greatest
simplicity of thought is necessary for discovery.
IT IS THE PEOPLE WHO HAVE SIMPLE

634

LEAVES OF HEALING
THOUGHT THAN FIND OUT GREAT
THINGS.

Sir Humphrey Davy and the great men of the

Royal Society were indignant with Stephenson for
applying to the British Parliament to get a bill to
have a railwav that would go at the terrific rate of
twelve miles an hour, and kill the people, and
frighten the cattle in all the country and make such
a tremendous to-do. It was an awful thing, and they
petitioned against it.
It was George Stephenson, an humble man, a
workiug engineer that found it out.
It was not the great men from Yale and Harvard
that God Almighty used to redeem this Nation, but
the Rail-splitter from Illinois, Abraham Lincoln.
It was not the mighty rnilitary genius of
McClellan, who knew splendidly how to fortify and
fight behind fortifications ----and the army that does
that is always beatenbut it was the Tanner of
Galena, who knew how to go out and get the other
fellows fortifications, that won.
It is the simple man; it is the man that makes no
pretensions: it is the man of simple faith that finds
out God. The pure in heart see God. Always the
pure in heart, and if you want to see truth, just see
it as it is presented to you with open eyes.
Himse lf took our infirm ities, and bare our sickn esses.

What is simpler? What is plainer? But you get the

theologians upon that text, my! these old miserable
fossils how they will go at it and they will say that it
is a spiritual thing: it means your spiritual infirmities,
and your spiritual sicknesses.
Well now, it did not used to mean that. It meant
people who had sore eyes, and sore heads; it meant
people who had tumors. It meant people who had
leprosies. It meant people who had rheumatism. It
meant people with all kinds of sicknesses, and
diseases, and they were so weary and so tired.
They had gone to all kinds of doctors; they could
not be healed of any.
It meant in the olden time that these pour, sick
people many of whom could not read a line, flocked
to Jesus, and they heard Him preach, and they went
down with him into the baptismal waters and they

were healed.
And he went with them. Do you not know that
Christ was baptized amidst a crowd of sinners? Did
you ever think of that? He went down to the Jordan,
and he said to John the Baptist, Baptize me, and
he began His ministry by being baptized in the
waters of Jordan with the harlots and the thieves,
and the sinners of Jerusalem and Juda.
I tell you some of you have got to get a dip, a
triple dip too, and I would like to dip some of you.
Oh! if I could only wash out of you all the sin at the
same time, all the old miserable narrowness about
God.
Him self took ou r infirmities an d ba re our sicknesses.
These words were said concerning Him.
He had been teaching all the live-long day upon
the mountain side, perhaps for day after day, and
He said something which led them to know that this
would be His last discourse at that time, and he
commenced with that wonderful and beautiful
PARABLE OF THE TWO HOUSEBUILDERS:
The one man digging deep, digging deep.
What are you about?
I am going to build a house.
The other man says I am going to build a house
on the sand: I wont dig deep. While you are
digging for foundation 1 will have my house half
up.
He got a great house; it is a summer resort. Oh,
it a grand affair, right down there on the sand; but
this other man wants a house he can always live in.
He goes down and digs deep.
APPLICATION.
That is the man that repents. Do you not know
that digging deep is repenting, going back into your
past life, digging up your o1d sin, paying that
hundred dollars to Jones you cheated him out of,
telling your wife all about those lies you told before
you were married.
You wives confess: tell your husband of the lies

635

LEAVES OF HEALING
you told him. Oh! yes, you did, you liars.
You know he thought you had a nice
complexion; he did not know until you were
married that you had bought it in a paint-shop.
(Laughter.)
He thought you had a nicely formed body, and
he did no know you were all padding. (Laughter.)
He thought you had a sweet temper, but he did
not know it was all put on.
Oh, you liar, how you deceived him, and you
have got lots of repentance, lots of it, you women.
You are not all angels by any means, and you know
it too! (Laughter.)
And men are not all devils, not by any means.
But you are a bad lot, both of you. We are all a bad
lot. Very much all a bad lot, and we have got to
repent, and the man that goes to dig deep, goes
away back into his past life to repent. That is the
man that is going to have his house upon the rock.
When he goes down he goes to bed rock. You see
he repents
REPENT!
I do not care a pin about your faith. Talk about
believe on the Lord Jesus Christ. Lay down your
belief on the Lord Jesus Christ, and talk to the
people about repentance. (Amen.) That is the
beginning of the Gospel. The beginning of the
Gospel is not Faith. See! There it is in the first
chapter of Mark:
The beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of
God;
As it is written in the prophets. Behold. I send My
messenger before Thy face, which shall prepare Thy way
before Thee.
The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the
way of the Lord, m ake H is paths straight.

I tell you before the Lord can do anything, His

Way has got to be prepared, and the paths have got
to be made straight.
John did baptise in the wilderness and preach the
baptism ofwha t?

And there went out unto Him all the land of Juda, and
they of Jerusalem, and were all baptized of H im in the river of
Jordan,concealing their sins?

Audience:Confessing their sins.

Dr. Dowie:That is the beginning of the Gospel.
Now after that John was put in prison, Jesus carne into
Galilee, preaching the gospel of the kingdom of God,
And saying, T he tim e is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God
is at hand: repent, ye, and believe the go spel.

He never said believe and repent. He said repent

and believe, and when He told of His mission, He
said:
I am not come to call the righteous, but sinners to faith?
Audience: Re pentance.

Dr. Dowie:He never talked about their faith.

Why these Jews were full of faith. They had faith in
Abraham, and they had faith in Isaac, and they had
faith in Jacob, and they had faith in Moses, they had
faith in the whole of the Bible, and they had faith in
themselves, any amount of it, and faith in the
church, and they were full of faith; yet they were
damned.
Christ said:
Woe unto you, Scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye
compa ss sea and land to make one proselyte and when h e is
made, ye make him twofold more the child of hell than
yourselves.

The Lord Jesus Christ said:

Ye are of your father the devil, a nd the lusts of your father
ye w ill do.

And He told them:

Ye are like unto whited sepu lchers,. . . full of dead m ens
bones and of all unclean ness.

Now, He said that, and He cried to them.

Repent, Repent.
REPENT YE.

Audience:Repentance.
Dr. Dowie:The baptism of repentance for the remission
of sins.

That is the beginning of the gospel.

Now, any man that says:

636

LEAVES OF HEALING

Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and tho u shalt be saved,

and says that is the beginning of the gospel, he does

not know the Gospel.
THE MESSAGE TO THE PHILLIPPIAN
JAILER.
Well, Paul and Silas said that, says some one.
Yes, why do you not go back a little, and not
start in the middle of that narrative.
Why do you not go back to the Phillipian jailer
lashing these prisoners, and driving them into
prison, and putting their feet in the stocks, and
smiting them, and spitting on them, covering them
with every indignity?
Why do you not go to hear him talk there, and
say: Now, there you are; that is what it is to be a
Christian; lie there and rot. He put them right into
the inner prison and put their feet in stocks. Why do
you not see that means a heart full of devilry, full of
hatred for those men who have been preaching?
He goes away off to his dinner. I have got these
fellows in the stocks; that will settle their tricks,' and
he has a jollification with these magistrates who have
got them there. Perhaps he gets money for having
treated them so badly, and he is having a high time,
and it is midnight, and they are singing the songs of
Bacchus and of Venus, and singing of the grove of
Daphne, and they are drinking the Falernian wines.
Somebody else is singing down there in the
prison. The quivering voices of these men are rolling
from the prison walls, and they are so close to Jesus,
and God has heard them.
And suddenly there was a great earthquake, and
thundering, and the lightnings are flashing, and the
prison is rolling, and every gate has gone open, and
the man rushes in. All the prisoners are gone! and in
hopeless despair he is thinking how he will put the
sword in a sure place, and from the innermost
prison he hears the voice:
Do thyse lf no harm : for we are all here .

Why, that is the voice of that fellow Paul that he

had lashed and put into prison and cursed and
damned by all his gods, and he stops himself
committing suicide.
He drops his sword, he calls for a light, he jumps

in, falls at the feet of these men. Oh, why dont you
let me kill myself?
Because we want to see you saved. We want to
see you right with God.
My God, can you want to save me? And there
he repents, and he takes their feet out and washes
their stripes. and he says:
W hat must I do to be saved?

MODERN HERESY REBUKED

Why dont you fellows start with that repentance?
Why do you start with that infernal lie, that if a
man will only believe, he will get to heaven?
I can tell you of many men that believe, and they
are going to hell. Surely! They are full of faith. Oh!
yes, they are splendicl Presbyterians, and, fine
Episcopalians, and first-class Baptists, and
thoroughly good Lutherans, and fine Roman
Catholics, and all the rest of it, and they are all
going to hell.
They have got faith. They say: I believe in my
church.
And not a particle of faith in any church will save
you.
THE GOSPEL PREACHED.
It is faith in God; the faith of God; and that never
comes to a man that has not repented.
Now, that is the beginning of the Gospel. That is
how Christ preached it.
And what did He say when He went away?
Go ve into all the world, and preach the gospel to every
creature.
Go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the
name of the Fa ther, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost.

A WORD ON BAPTISM.
Dr. Dowie:---There is a threefold immersion; there
is a threefold God, and there is not a scholar to-day
in any denominatiou who will not admit that triune
immersion is the primitive move of baptism.
Dr. Phillip Schaff of the Presbyterian body than
whom there never lived a greater scholar in this

LEAVES OF HEALING
country says that the trina baptisma, triune
immersion, was the primitive baptism.
There is no question about it.

THE SO-CALLED SCIENCE OF MEDICINE.
Dr. Dowie:Well, then what becomes of the
theology of the day that says He is not? That He
used to be, but that now instead of healing by
means of simple faith in Him, He uses digitalis, nux
vomica, arsenic, strychnine, and Mother Siegels
Soothing Syrup, (laughter) and Pink Pills for Pale
People, and Pale Pills for Pink People.
(Laughter.) Is that so? and he now heals by the
science of medicine! The science of unmitigated
humbug.
Where is the science in Medicine?
Scientia means accurate knowledge does it not?
It means sure and certain knowledge about a thing.
Where is the sure and certain knowledge about

ALLOPATIIY.

See, here is a man steps up. I am an Allopath.

An allopath. Well, how do you cure people?
Well, if they have got a disease in them, a poison,
I look along the list of my medicines, all that
pharmacy has taught me [You sorcerer!] and I find
another poison stronger than the poison that is in the
man, and I say, Now open your mouth, and shut
your eyes, and see what I have sent you, [Laughter]
and in it goes.
Well, what do you do?
I have knocked out that first poison.
Well, now, Mr. Allopath, after this stronger
fellow has got in, what is he going to do?
Oh, well, after a while he may give us some
trouble.
What are you going to do then?
I look along the line of my pharmacy, and I pick
out another fellow, aud I say, Shut your eyes, and
open your mouth. and I put him in and knock that
one out.
That is very good. Now, what is the next thing?
Supposing that strong poison you have put in gives
the man trouble with the kidneys or liver, or his
stomach, or something?
Well, then I look along the line of my
pharmacy, and I say, Shut your eyes, and open
your mouth, and I put in another and knock him
out. (Laughter.)
Well, Mr. Allopath, when does this stop?
Oh, it never stops until we knock the man out.
(Laughter. )
HOMEOPATHY.
Well now, what are you?
I am a homeopath.
What is the difference between you and this
fellow?
He says Contraria, contraribus curantur, (the
contrary cures the contrary) and I say Similia,
similibus curantur. Like cures like.
Well, what does that mean?
That means when you have got a poison of one
kind in, you put a poison of the same kind in, and
knock it out.

Well, how is that going to work, Mr. Homeopath,

set a thief to catch a thief?
Oh, well, it works. I am the fellow that does it.
Now, what do you think of the Allopath? "
He is a fool!
Now, Mr. Allopath, what do you think of the
Homeopath?
He is a fool!
They are both right; the devil is right. Humanity
knows that. Humanity is staggering to-day under an
awful weight. Men have got upon the back of
humanity. Men have got humanity by the throat.
INOCULATION.
Men have got humanity, and tied him down, and
now they inoculate him. They started to inoculate
you against smallpox. They inoculate you against
pox by putting pox in you. And they will inoculate
you against hydrophobia, by putting in
hydrophobia; and they will inoculate you against
trichinosis, by putting in trichina, and you will not
know where you are, if you do not take these fellows
by the throat by legislation. They will will take you
by the throat, and they will lay you down there, and
they will inoculate you with every dirty disease there
is going,
Mrs. Marsh (from the gallery):Doctor, it is true
in my case; they forced it in my arm, and it broke
out all over my arm.
Dr. Dowie:Yes, and we have children here with
all kinds of diseases consequent upon inoculation.
WHEN DID GOD GIVE US THESE
DOCTORS?
Never. Look here, you Christians, you have got
a Bible. That Bible covers 4,100 years of human
history, can you find one word in it in praise of the
doctors or drugs? Can you find one word in it
directing you to go to a doctor? No. Where is the
passage,
Is any among y ou sick? let hini call for the doctor?

A Voice:----It is not there.

Dr. Dowie:Where is the passage that praises

639

LEAVES OF HEALING
doctors? The Bible has nothing to say, but
Ye are all ph ysicians of no value.

Where is the word that praises the surgeon and

tells you to lie down under his knife?
On the contrary,
I am the Lord that healeth thee.
I am the Lord I change not
She suffered many things of many physicians, and had
spent all that she had, and was nothing bettered but rather
grew worse .

That is the story of the woman who touched the

hem of Christs garment; it is true story of thousands
here.
THE MATTER TESTED.
Every one here that has taken drugs, put up your
hands. (Apparently all hands were raised.)
Everybody that has been perfectly healed by the
taking of these drugs, put up your bands. (No hands
were raised.)
Where are you?
Every one in this meeting who has been healed
through faith in Jesus, stand to your feet. (Several
hundred rose.)
Now, do you see that? There are hundreds on
their feet: How many hundreds I cannot tell.
Now, that is a fair test. I will take any
congregation, and I will prove from that
congregation what Dr. Prof. Douglas McClagan said
in my own hearing in my native city university when
I went to hear him in 1869 deliver the discourse in
opening the medical session for that year.
I am an honest physician, I am an honest professor, and
I am an h onest man. I am asked to speak on m edicine as a
science, and the first thing I hav e to sa y is m edicine is not a
science it is pur ely em pirical. From the days of Hippocrates
and of Galen until now we have been stumbling in the dark
from diagnoses to diagnosis, and treatment to treatment, and
we have not found the first stone to lay as the foundation for
medicine as a science. Gentleman, medicine is not a science.

Friends, we challenge the first principle of our

opponents, and say medicine is not a science, and
you know it. And if you are too ignorant not to

know it, then you are not to be reckoned with at all;

for you are too ignorant to argue with.
Let me tell you this, that if there were no Divine
Healing, it would be infinitely better for you never
to touch medicine. But now, is there Divine
Healing?
Audience:Yes.
Dr. Dowie:---Well, how do you know?
Voices:We have been healed.
HYPNOTISM.
Dr. Dowie:Well, are you not a pack of fools?
Were you all not all hypnotized? Now, that word
hypnotism amuses me. People say that I hypnotize
people. I was traveling with a man the other day
who did not know me. He said to me very
respectfully: Where do you live sir.
I said: "I live in Chicago," and then he asked me
a few other questions: Do you know much about the
ministers of Chicago.
Yes, I said, I am one myself.
Well, he said, can you tell me anything about
that Dr. Dowie? (Laughter.)
Why, I said, I could tell you a little."
Well, now, what kind of a man is he?
Well, I do not think much of him.
That is just how I think about him. (Laughter.)
Well, he said a few things to me.
Now I said, Why do you believe that?
Well, he told me what he had read in the paper.
Now, I said, I know that is not true. I told
him the truth about that.
Well, then, he said, what is true?
Well, I said, all these things are lies. We were
gettlng near to Chicago by that time, and he said to
me: I begin to think you know a good deal about
him.
Well, I said, I am the man himself.
(Laughter.)
Oh! he said he would come and hear me
preach, and he did so, and God blessed him.
But now listen!
Among other things my friend said it had been
alleged I hypnotized people.
Well, I said, do you know what the word
hypnotism means?

640

LEAVES OF HEALING

Well, it means mesmerism, something or other

to make them imagine things.
Now, I said, why dont you get to know what
a word means. Hypnos in Greek is sleep, and the
word hypnotize is to make people sleep. Now, if you
had ever heard Dr. Dowie, you would never think
he makes people sleep.
Now, what is hypnotism? It is putting people to
sleep, in a state of sleep, compelling them to do
whatever you like.
Now, that is what the devil does; that is not what
God does.
Now, is there Divine Healing? You say yes. I say
yes, but our testimony in this is nothing. I admit that.
I do not care a pin about human testimony upon
any subject.
A THING 1S TRUE WITHOUT' ANY
TESTIMONY.
Because it is true testimony does not make it true.
It was true before you testified to it. It was true
before I spoke it. Truth is a truth apart from
testimony.
Now this truth is a truth fixed in the eternal
verities of things.
If there are not two powers conflicting with each
other on this earth, then we are all blind, we are all
deaf, and we are all fools; for the clearest of all
things is this, that good and exil are warring; that
salvation and sin, that health and disease, that life
and death, and heaven and hell are marching in
battalions, and in corps, and in one great arrny
against each other; good and evil.
THE IRREPRESSIBLE CONFLICT.
Now, if there are but two armies, and two sets of
influences, and God is good, and salvation and
healing, and life and heaven are His, then here is the
other that Satan, and sin, and disease, and death,
and hell are hanging together; and if I am on the
side of God, I must be fighting with my Savior
against sin; I must be fighting with my Healer
against disease; I must be fighting with the Prince of
Life against the powers of death and hell; I must be
fighting on the heavenly side.

Now, the very verities of things would make it

impossible for salvation and sin to come from the
same source; would make it impossible for disease
and health to come from the same source.
And what are you talking about, when you talk
about disease being Gods will?
That is a lie.
You might as well talk about sin being Gods will.
You might as well talk about death and hell
being Gods will; they are not.
The will of God is salvation from sin, healing
from sickness, life to overcome death, and heaven to
overcome hell, and that is the eternal verity of the
thing.
When Christ came down to this earth He planted
Himself squarely upon that proposition: that good
and evil were irreconcilable; that a good tree cannot
bring forth corrupt fruit, and an evil tree cannot
bring forth good fruit, and He had come to destroy
the works of the devil, and He went about
destroying sin, and healing all that were oppressed
of the devil.
Why do you not get your theology straight?
WHY DO YOU NOT GET THE WORD OF
GOD STRAIGHT?
There it is. That He came to destroy the works of
the devil. There it is in Peters sermon to Cornelius:
How God anointed Jesus of N aza reth w ith the Holy Ghost,
and with p ower: who w ent abou t doing good, and hea ling all
that were opp ressed of the de vil.

There it is in Isaiah, as interpreted by the Holy

Ghost to Matthew:
Himse lf took our infirm ities, and bare our sickn esses.

And as spoken by the Holy Ghost through Isaiah

direct:
Surely He hath borne our sickne sses, . . . and with H is
stripes we are h ealed .

God never did evil; God never committed sin;

God never inflicted misery on any.

AN INFERNAL LIE.
Stop, said a man one day. I had been saying
these words: It was one of the infernal lies that had
been taught to me as a child in Presbyterian
Scotland, and that I had sang in a lot of hymns that
I would to God were forever buried in an ocean of
oblivion. A stanza from one of these hymns was this:
Jehovah lifted up His rod;
Oh, Christ, it fell on Thee;
Thou wast sore stricken of Thy God,
The res not on e stroke for me.

Now, if there ever was an infernal lie, that hymn

embalms it.
Thou wast sore stricken of Thy God .

I said in the address I was then delivering,

When did Christ strike his Son? This theological
professor rose up in the gallery. He was a
Presbyterian, and he was a Mac, and his face was as
dark as one of his mountains with a storm: That is
blasphemy.
I turned to a gentleman who was with me, mayor
of the town, Who is that? Well, it is so and so, and
he is professor of theology in Dunedin, and he is a
minister of a large church here.
Well, I said, Professor, what did you say that
was?
Blasphemy.
What is blasphemy.
Blasphemy to say that God did not strike His
Son.
Well, what do you say?
He said, I say Dr. Dowie what you ought to say,
what is in your Bible; that He was
stricken , smitten of God and afflicted.

Well now, Professor, do you know that?

Yes.
Well, do you say that is in the Bible?
Yes.
Well, I said. give me the Bible; it must have
altered since you read it. In my Bible it reads thus:
Surely He hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows;

yet we did esteem Him stricken,

we, the Jews; that when He was nailed to the cross

said:
You saved others, you cannot save yourself. You blaspheme r; come down from that cross. God has stricken you; God
has sm itten you; God has afflicted you .

WE DID ESTEEM HIM.

Not God did it. We did esteem Him.
I remember that mans face. He sat down. He
turned pale. He saw it in a moment, and I said,
Listen! He was wounded for our transgressions, not
for His own. He was bruised for our iniquities, not
for His own. The chastisement of our peace was
upon Him, and with His stripes we are healed.
Professor, it was these ungodly Jews that said God
struck Him, God smote Him, God afflicted Him,
and
THEY LIED WHEN THEY SAID IT.
He rose right up, and he was a man every inch of
him, and he said:
Dr. Dowie is perfectly right, and I never saw it
until this moment. Doctor, will you corne and
preach for me nest Sunday?
I said, I will. (Laughter and applause)
How men can have invented that infernal
theology that God nailed His Son to the cross! That
was the devils doing.
No, friends, God never did a bad thing yet, and
He never will. God is good, God is good to all. His
tender mercy is over all the world. And I will tell
you, friends, in arguing out this subject, we forget
sometimes the great tenderness and lowliness of
God: How Christ came down, and made this truth
so plain; that He talked so that the humblest could
understand Him; that God loved them, and wanted
to save them from their sirs and sicknesses, if they
would only yield themselves in spirit and in soul,
and in body to Him, He would cleanse them. Is that
true?
Audience:Yes.
CALL.
Dr. Dowie:Then, every one that wants God to
cleanse them, spirit, soul and body stand.
[Apparently all rose.]

Now listen! Do you hate sin? Can you say I do?

Audience:I do.
Dr. Dowie:Are you willing to give it up? Can
you say I am?
Audience:I am.
Dr. Dowie: Are you willing to do right, if you
have wronged any; to re-store and to confess? Can
you say I am?
Audience: I am.
Dr. Dowie: Will you ask God to help you by His
Spirit? Can you say, God helping me, I will?
Audience:God helping me, I will.
Dr. DowieWell, pray with me.
PRAYER OF CONSECRATION.
My God and Father, I come to Thee. Take me as
I am. Make me what I ought to be in Spirit, in Soul,
in Body. Give me power to do right to in Thy sight.
Give me Thy Holy Spirit, for Jesus sake. Amen. [All
repeat the prayer, clause by clause, after Dr. Dowie]
Now, did you mean it?
Audience:Yes.
Dr. Dowie:Can you say, God helping me, I did.
Audience:God helping me, I did.
Dr. Dowie:Well, I will tell you what God
means: God means that you are forgiven, and God
means if you go right on, He will give you perfect
deliverance, and that is worth having, and may God
make you strong and brave to do right.
Now, we will sing our Consecration hymn, I
will.
After singing the Consecration hymn, the services
were closed with the following
PRAYER.
Father, we bless Thee; we bless Thee for the sunshine, and
the sweet air for the springing grass, and the bright glories of a
com ing harvest: for the unchanging love that nev er fails: for,
Day unto day uttereth speech, and night unto night sh oweth
know ledge , and there is not a place where the voice of Thine
infinite 1ove is not heard.
He lp us, oh God , to tell the story of a love that never fails,
that destroys Satan an d sin, disease, and dea th, an d he ll, and
will purify this earth, and make it more heautiful than even in
its primitive glory. God he lp us to fight on the side of the right,
and the good, and the pure, and the true, and the beautiful, on
the side of God. Take evil out of our h earts. M ake us strong to
be, and to do good for Christs sake.
BENEDICTION.
Beloved, abstain from all appearance of evil, and the very
God of Peace Himself sanctify you wholly, and I pray that your
whole Spirit, Soul and body be preserved entire without blame

unto the com ing of our L ord Jesus Christ, faithful is He that
calleth you, who also will do it, the grace of our Lord Jesus; the
love of God our Father, the fellowship of the Holy Spirit, our
Comforter and Gu ide; One Eternal God, abide in you, bless
you and keep yo u an d all the Israel of G od everywhe re
forever. Amen.

DEDICATION
This book is dedicated to the many ministers who are preaching
the great gospel of deliverance in various parts of the world. May
the dramatic life story of John Alexander Dowie be at once an
inspiration and an object lesson to every man of God who
ministers healing to the sick and afflicted, a ministry which to
no little extent was brought back to the church through the
efforts of the man of whom this book is written. This book is also
dedicated to the authors father and mother whose faith in God
found much of its source and inspiration during the years they
spent in Zion.
The author wishes to express his appreciation and
acknowledgement of the help received from Overseer Anton
Darms, who so kindly checked the manuscript for accuracy, and
who made available to him a number of books and rare
documents of the Zion story. He also wishes to thank Rev.
Theodore Mason who made it possible for him to secure an
almost complete library of THE LEAVES OF HEALING.

A LIFE STORY OF TRIALS, TRAGEDIES AND TRIUMPHS

INTRODUCTION
The story of John Alexander Dowie is a fascinating one, and suspense and interest
builds up as one proceeds with the narrative. However the purpose for which this
book was written was of far more importance than merely to entertain. The life of
Dr. Dowie is, in the writers opinion, as well as that of many others, the greatest
object lesson in the history of the church. First, it shows that when any man is
chosen of God to be used in an unusual manner, God permits him to go through a
training period, which sometimes includes trials and tribulations of the most
severe nature. Second, it will be seen that the great successes of Dr. Dowie began
only after he fully embraced the message of Divine healing. It was the great
miracles of healing that were responsible for giving his ministry its power and
authority. Third, it was at that moment when he began to engage in secular
activities, and departed from the simplicity of his earlier days, that his decline
began. All these things are lessons of solemn interest to us today.
We are under no illusion that some will not be disappointed with certain things
which we have included in this biography. While our dealing with the subject has
been highly sympathetic, we have felt that we would not be fair to our objective, if
we did not tell the whole story as it happened. Some believe that Dr. Dowie could
have done no wrong, others believe that he was a mountebank and a deceiver.
Neither view is correct. God raised up John Alexander Dowie, for a specific work,
which was to reintroduce Divine healing to the Church. In a considerable measure
this purpose was fulfilled, although his errors of judgment at the closing period of
his life are to be regretted. We believe that the church has received an enormous
impetus of faith because this man has lived.

JOHN ALEXANDER DOWIE

A LIFE STORY OF TRIALS, TRAGEDIES AND TRIUMPHS

CHAPTER I

THE DRAMATIC APPEARANCE OF DOWIE UPON THE WORLD SCENE

THE Christian generation of today knows little of a story, which is as unique and
fascinating as any that has appeared in the annals of the church since the days of
the apostles. Though forgotten today, in the rapid moving of events, the name of
John Alexander Dowie was known to millions throughout the world at the turn of
the century. The story of Dowie is that of a man with an amazing missiona
mission that in its scope took in nothing less than the whole world. It is an account
of a reformer who, fighting against the greatest of odds, single-handedly
challenged the apostasy of his time, and succeeded in bringing to the attention of
the church visible, if not to its acceptance, the message of the Gospel of healinga
message of deliverance for the whole man, body, soul and spirit.
Against overwhelming opposition, a hostile press, bitterly opposed clergymen,
antagonistic city officials, unscrupulous lawyers, who, hired by the combined
opposition, used every loophole of the law and legal technicality to stop him, he
fought for and maintained the right to pray for the sick. Despite the fiercest
persecution, numerous illegal arrestsas many as one hundred in a yearhe
outwitted and foiled his enemies, and succeeded in bringing to the attention of the
world, the great truth that Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, and today, and
forever, and established the right for the minister of the Christian Church to obey
Christs command in the Great Commission to lay hands on the sick for healing.
The rise of John Alexander Dowie to international prominence came with an
abruptness that reminds one of Elijah, who many centuries ago suddenly appeared
before the King of Israel to challenge by a test of fire, the apostasy of the Baal
prophets, or of John the Baptist, who as a voice crying in the wilderness made his
presence known in a dramatic call of repentance to a nation unprepared to meet
the Lord Who was already in her midst.
When Doctor Dowie first set foot on American soil, he was forty-one years of age,
and as far as this country was concerned, was virtually an unknown minister of the
Gospel. However, news of the arrival of a man who preached Divine healing, and
who got results, soon spread abroad, and he began receiving calls from up and
down the Pacific Coast. He at once launched into a series of healing missions,
which eventually took him to Chicago, where within a few brief years, a series of
dramatic events were to plummet his ministry before the attention of the entire
world.

JOHN ALEXANDER DOWIE

A LIFE STORY OF TRIALS, TRAGEDIES AND TRIUMPHS

In 1893, just at the starting of the Worlds Fair in Chicago, John Alexander Dowie
decided to make his headquarters permanently in that city. He built a small
unpretentious wooden tabernacle, just outside the doors of the Fair Grounds. This
unimposing structure, contemptuously referred to by his enemies as a miserable
little wooden hut, became the scene of his first important efforts in his warfare
against the vice and iniquity of the great metropolitan cityat that time a city of
about two million inhabitants. The services held in this tabernacle did not have an
auspicious beginning. Many passed by the little wooden hut as they thronged the
grounds of the Worlds Fair, but they gave it only passing notice. Their interest was
in the excitement of that colossal Vanity Fair, which included such hair-raising and
blood-curdling features as The Siege of Vicksburg, or the Blood and Thunder of
Buffalo Bill and his Whooping Indians. A few dropped into the tabernacle, and
they returned bringing others with them. Nevertheless, the work was small and
discouraging.
A bitter winter followed that brought gales and storms of unusual violence,
sweeping in from the waters of Lake Michigan. Dowies strength and courage was
severely tried during those dark days. But with coming of spring of 1894, a break
came. Notable miracles of healing were now taking place and these began to draw
attention. Before long, large crowds were attending and indeed, contesting for
standing room in the tabernacle.
With success, came an attendant persecution that was perhaps to set a worlds
record, and which included no less than one hundred warrants for the arrest of Dr.
Dowie during the year 1895. In one of the most bitter of persecutions in the history
of America, a relentless opposition, determined to drive Dowie and Divine healing
from the city. But these enemies reckoned not of the mettle of which their despised
opponent was made, for Dowie possessed a resourcefulness unusual for a nonprofessional man, unversed in law, and a stubborn courage that accepted no
defeat. He pled his case in courts, which were completely dominated by his
enemies. The results in these lower courts was a foregone conclusion. When he
lost, much to the exasperation of his adversaries, he carried his cause to the higher
courts, where the inequities of the lower courts were quickly overruled. His
enemies, frustrated and enraged, impotently fought on, until through sheer
exhaustion and loss of popular support, they were forced to give up the fight, retire
in confusion and acknowledge their complete defeat. Significantly, many who
engaged in this persecution against Dowie, either died shortly after, or for some
reason or other were compelled to retire from the scene of public life. One such
example was the editor of the Chicago Dispatch, a Mr. Dunlop, who had taken the
lead in the persecution by the press, and was to find himself, less than two years
later, behind penitentiary bars, his own wicked life and crimes exposed before the
world.

A LIFE STORY OF TRIALS, TRAGEDIES AND TRIUMPHS

Actually, the persecution contributed to the bringing to pass the very thing that his
adversaries least desired, and least anticipated would happen. Instead of Dowie
being ignominiously driven from the city as they had confidently expected, their
persecution had given Dowie such publicity that he was able to move into, and fill
the largest auditorium in the city of Chicago. There, from Sunday to Sunday,
thousands of people gathered to listen to the man whose dynamic ministry was
affecting the lives of countless thousands, in a fashion that Chicago had never
before witnessed. In that great auditorium, multitudes acknowledged Christ as
their Savior and, under the searching preaching of this man of God, many
relinquished evil habits and made restitution for their wrongs.
And now, the unusual talents of John Alexander Dowie had opportunity for their
fullest expression. His voice cried out against sin in high places and low. The evils
of tobacco, liquor and drugs were scathingly denounced, much to the dismay of the
great vested interests which engaged in their sale and distribution. He exposed the
shams and hypocrisies of an apostate and decadent church. Iniquity in the
government or in the pulpit alike, brought forth his stern and uncompromising
censure. Several times, attempts were made upon the life of Dr. Dowie, but all
attempts failed. He gave the forces of iniquity no respite, and continued to blast at
social evils wherever he found them, sparing none.
Then in 1896, Dr. Dowie organized the Christian Catholic Church, with a charter
membership of five hundred. This number rapidly grew into thousands. For some
time, Dowie had contemplated the building of a great city, to be inhabited only by
Christians, where the use of tobacco, liquor and other kindred vices would be
perpetually barred. With this in mind, he negotiated secretly for the purchase of
6,600 acres of land on the shores of Lake Michigan at a site 40 miles north of
Chicago. Once the land had been secured, sub-divided and opened for lease,
thousands of people rushed to secure leases which by contract were extended for a
period of 1,100 years. Within two years, nearly ten thousand people had been
drawn to this new city which he had named Zion. Factories and industries were
invited to find sites in the community, and one industry, for the making of fine
lace, was imported from Great Britain machinery, managing personnel and all.
Meanwhile interest in the Christian Catholic Church continued; branches began to
spring up in cities all over the nation. Missionaries and workers were sent to
establish churches and missions in various parts of the world. During these years,
Dowie planned one enterprise after another, laboring with a feverish intensity, as a
man working against time. He organized what he called the Seventies, which, in a
methodical way, went out two by two, carrying the Gospel to every home. Later he
disbanded the Seventies and organized in their place, the Restoration Host. He
engaged in a three months holy war against Satans forces in Chicago.

JOHN ALEXANDER DOWIE

A LIFE STORY OF TRIALS, TRAGEDIES AND TRIUMPHS

Dowie was a prolific writer, editing during his ministry, sixteen volumes of a
weekly publication, called LEAVES OF HEALING, of quarto size, each volume
having from 800 to 1000 pages. He wrote poetry. He made a trip around the
world. In one of his boldest ventures, he chartered a series of trains which carried
thousands of his followers to New York City. During the day his followers
systematically went from house to house carrying tracts and information about his
work, while in the great night services, he spoke to vast multitudes in Madison
Square Garden. It was a Herculean effort; nothing like it since the Crusades had
ever been attempted in the church.
Dowie was now received by congressmen, by governors, and on one occasion, by
President Theodore Roosevelt, who left a cabinet meeting to meet him. Dowie
continued to dream. He was restless and looked for more worlds to conquer. He
proposed to strike the devil such a blow, that if it were possible, would usher in the
Millennium. In accordance with this proposal, he planned on building Zions all
over the earth, with the largest one at Jerusalem. It was at this point that his
dreams became visionary, and a dark and ominous cloud settled upon his affairs.
But we must pause for we are getting ahead of our story.
We should not fail to mention that the man God used in these epochal adventures
of faith, endured dark years of discouragements and reverses, when to all
appearances everything seemed lost. He knew what it was to taste the bitterness of
poverty, to be scorned as a neer-do-well by his relatives, to find himself in a
position unable to adequately support his family. Once he ran for public office, and
was soundly defeated.
During those days, however, he did have a most remarkable experience which was
to influence mightily his future. While pastoring at Newtown, suburb of Sydney, a
devastating plague swept through the area, threatening to wipe out the whole
population. It was during the hours of tragedy that God revealed to him the
glorious ministry of healing, and he was able to pray the prayer of faith with such
results that the plague, as far as his people were concerned, was stayednot
another member of his flock died from the epidemic.
Despite this vivid experience of Gods manifestation of healing power, Dowie was
not then prepared to enter fully into such a ministry. Man is a natural imitator of
what he sees others doing. There appears to be uncertainty and insecurity in taking
unknown paths. Dowie tried the usual methods that he saw other reformers using.
He denounced the evils of his day with an eloquence, of which he was not lacking.
He fought vehemently against the liquor evil, helped organize temperance
societies, and became champion of those opposed to traffic in alcoholic beverages.
At the insistence of friends, he ran for public office, thinking that a seat in the
Australian parliament might be Gods way in which he might most effectively

JOHN ALEXANDER DOWIE

A LIFE STORY OF TRIALS, TRAGEDIES AND TRIUMPHS

secure a reformation of social conditions. In the interests of reform, he

corresponded with William Gladstone, the famed English statesman.
But at every step his plans seemed destined to frustration. He got into debt, his fair
weather friends forsook him, and his own relatives thought that he was beside
himself. It was only after years of the bitterest of trials and tribulations, that he
gradually became aware of Gods great plan for his life. Little by little as his soul
reached out, at first in a kind of desperation, then with more certainty, he began to
see the light. As he entered into a ministry to the sick and the afflicted, the tide of
failure turned. Slowly at first, but finally, success came his way. In a few years his
ministry attracted international interest. Then in a meteoric rise to fame, as a
champion of the truth of Divine healing, he found himself plummeted into the
spotlight of world attention. But before we begin a more detailed narration of the
life of this man of God, and trace the story of Gods dealings with him, we shall
take the liberty to quote from the lines of Overseer Anton Darms, who knew Dr.
Dowie personally. These words graphically summarize the unique ministry of this
prophet of the Nineteenth Century.
John Alexander Dowie holds a unique and definite place in the development of
apostolic ideals for the Church of the Twentieth Century. His life, mission, and
work present a fascinating, romantic object lesson for those interested in
progressive Christianity.
Singlehanded, as Elijah of old, he denounced the decadent order of the day, and
protested mightily against apostasy, both of the Protestant and Catholic divisions
of the Church, and heralded a New Day of a thousand years when Jehovah would
hold sway over a redeemed earth.
Like a clap of thunder out of a clear sky, John Alexander Dowie started on his
world-wide mission of setting forth the Word of God, and putting into practice, the
ideals and principles of the coming Messianic Kingdom; and thereby succeeded in
making Zion a household word throughout the whole world.
It has been said that in him were treasured up the rarest gifts and talents ever
given to man. As an iconoclast, he denounced evil in high and low places, tore off
the mask of unfaithful shepherds behind the pulpit, protested against the shams
and the fads of a giddy world, and heralded the death-knell of a dying age.
Sudden and unexpected as was his entry upon the public arena, so sudden and
unexpected also was his demise, compelling thousands of devoted followers to
whom Gods Inspired Word was a sealed book, to acknowledge that his faithful
ministry had resulted in making the Bible a new book to them.

CHAPTER II

EARLY LIFE OF JOHN ALEXANDER DOWIE

JOHN Alexander Dowie was born in Edinburgh, Scotland, May 25, 1847. Those
who attended his birth could scarcely have dreamed of the impression that this
child should some day make upon the world. As many others who have been
signally used of God, not excluding the Lord, he was born in poverty. In his early
years, he had opportunity to observe the darker side of life, and to witness, first
hand, the misery and sorrow which resulted from sin. Very early in life he
developed a deep revulsion to evil, and his hatred of it, was later to find expression
in his fierce denouncements against sin, which he saw brought nothing but
heartache and sorrow to the human race.
The lads childhood days were not happy. He was often sick, and more than once
his parents despaired of his life. His attendance at school was irregular, partly
because of the shabby condition of his clothes, and partly because he was sick so
much of the time. His young mind, however, had a keen thirst for knowledge, and
he made the best of such opportunities that he had. Some of his friends were kind
enough to lend him books which he read eagerly.
Being a precocious lad, he read the Bible through at the age of six years.
John Alexander received a definite call from God at the early age of seven. He
accompanied his father as often as he could on preaching journeys. He also
attended the street preaching of a humble minister by the name of Henry Wright,
and, through listening to him, was led to give his heart to God. This obscure
preacher could have had little realization that one in his audience was destined
some day to speak words that would turn thousands to Christ, and who should
also, in no little measure, be the instrument in the hands of God to restore to the
Church the ministry of healing.
Even before his conversion, the young lad was to develop a hatred for the iniquities
of the liquor traffic. He suffered the consequences of intemperance of some he
loved, and, as a child, learned of the sorrows of others who became victim of the
curse. A temperance movement was rising in Scotland at the time and at the age of
six, he signed a pledge against the use of intoxicating liquors. Toward tobacco too,
he developed an early antipathy. As a lad he took his stand against its use and later
was to become the worlds greatest champion against the accursed nicotine habit.

JOHN ALEXANDER DOWIE

A LIFE STORY OF TRIALS, TRAGEDIES AND TRIUMPHS

Years afterward he was to relate before a large congregation in his Chicago

Tabernacle, a boyhood experience, in which he was led of God to make his decision
regarding the use of tobacco. He spoke as follows:
Now Friends, I want to thank God today for the way in which He led me, when
very young, and the way in which He led my father, to lay down that tobacco, and
to lay down that liquor. I once looked at my father smoking, and thought I would
be big if I smoked too. So I took one of his pipes and some of his Cavendish. I went
with several boys, and we climbed the Cat-nick, and got to the top of Salisbury
Crags. There after nestling under Arthurs Seat, one fine afternoon I said, Well be
men. And I did what he had done: lit his tobacco, and tried to smoke as he did.
Some of the boys said, Johnny take care.
Well, I said, never fear; I know how to smoke. I thought I did, but the first draw I
took filled my eyes, my nose, and everything, and I thought that surely Abaddon or
Apollyon from the depths of hell had got me now. But I persevered. I took another
draw after a while, and managed to get that down into my stomach. I tried to
breathe it out, but it went through my nose, and a good deal of it went down into
my stomach. By the time I got my third draw, I began to feel Oh, my!
I looked at Edinburgh Castle across the valley, and whatever had happened to it?
The Castle was spinning around, and St. Giles Cathedral was running a race with
Holyrood Palace, and Arthurs Seat was drunk. I looked at the Pentland Hills, and
they were chasing after the other hills around there; I tried to look at Craigmiller
Castle, and it had shifted its place to another side of the lake, and was running
after Duddiston Church, and Duddiston Church was running after Craigmiller
Castle. I looked again at Holyrood, and it was bumping up against Edinburgh
Castle, and I looked dawn in the valley and it came up and hit me on the nose. I lay
back, and oh, I was so sick. I vomited everything I had eaten. O my stomach! I
should have been thankful to anybody, if they had put me out of misery.
When I went home late in the evening, I tried to walk in a straight path with my
feet, but I could not. There was no pavement wide enough for me, for I was drunk.
I think I had not taken more than three draws. My mother did not know what had
happened, so she said, Poor John Alexander is sick, and she comforted me; and if
she had known the truth, she ought to have scalped me. But really the one to be
scalped was my father. I was a wee, wee chap. I was no more than six years old,
because after that experience with Abaddon, I signed the pledge in 1853, against
tobacco, opium, and alcohol, which by the grace of God, I have kept.
It was just before I signed the pledge that I did this. I came to the conclusion that
if it were necessary for me to pass through all that dirt, muck, and misery to
become a stinkpot, worse than a pig, I would not do it.

JOHN ALEXANDER DOWIE

A LIFE STORY OF TRIALS, TRAGEDIES AND TRIUMPHS

When John Alexander was thirteen years of age, his parents decided to emigrate to
Australia, a country to which his uncle had already gone. The journey required no
less than six months, as the vessel on which they engaged passage, was an old
sailing ship. Despite the meagerness of his education, he had learned enough to be
able to tutor a number of the children on board the ship and thus pay his own way
over. Arriving in Adelaide, the youth began to make his own living, working for his
uncle, Alexander Dowie, who was then laying the foundation of a prosperous shoe
business, and whose daughter he later married. For his services, he received his
food and eighteen shillings a week.
After a few months, young Dowie left the employment of his uncle and took
another job. He advanced from time to time in various positions until, though still
in his minority he commanded a substantial salary, and was accounted a morethan-ordinarily promising young business man. At length he became confidential
clerk for the resident partner of a firm that was doing a business of two million
dollars a year.
But all through these years, God was speaking to this young man. Ever tugging at
his heart was a call to the ministry. The writings of Dr. Dowie do not particularly
elaborate on Gods dealings with him during this time, but it is known that even
from early years, he felt a distinct call to Gods service. As he was drawing near to
his twenty-first year, he made a most important decision. With the money that he
himself had earned, he took up a study under a private tutor, and began to prepare
himself for the ministry. After fifteen months of tutelage, he left Australia and
entered Edinburg University as an Arts student, where he remained for three
years, taking voluntary courses in the Free Church School. We have only a sketchy
account of his experiences while at the university. It is known that the young man
found himself in little sympathy with the dogmatic theology of the day. He proved
a brilliant scholar; yet, because of his variance with the professors and the
accepted dogmas, he was not regarded as a model student at the university. But he
was eager to learn and his thirst for knowledge was such that he read constantly
and having a retentive memory, he gained a background of knowledge that in the
years to come made it possible for him to converse intelligently on practically any
subject.
Throughout his youthful years, God was dealing with him, and preparing him for
an unique work. Even before he entered the ministry, he was to learn that God
heals, though at that time, Divine healing was a subject of which few had even
heard. At that time, he was suffering from chronic dyspepsia. He was brought to
trust God for healing, and in answer to prayer, was completely delivered of this
affliction. Yet, it was many years before he was to gain a real conception of the
truth of Divine healing as it is set forth in the Scriptures.

JOHN ALEXANDER DOWIE

A LIFE STORY OF TRIALS, TRAGEDIES AND TRIUMPHS

While young Dowie was in Edinburg, he became a sort of honorary chaplain in

the Edinburg infirmary, and there had the opportunity of attending the clinics of
the famous surgeon, John Simpson. He listened to his lectures, heard the diagnosis
of the doctors, while the patients lay under chloroform. He saw that surgery,
unable to cure, must resort to removing the diseased organ. Dowie watched many
of the operations, and witnessed the deadly results. He heard from the lips of the
professors the confession that they were only guessing in the dark, and their
experiments led him to have a strong antipathy to surgery and medicine.
While in the midst of study and work, he was called home by a cablegram from his
father, the reason being unknown to him at the time. He made the long journey
back to Australia and upon arriving there, found upon the examination of the
books of the partnership firm of which his father was the senior member, that a
receivership was inevitable. Young Dowie wound up the affairs as best he could,
and although handicapped by the debts incurred by his hasty return to Australia,
set himself to his chosen life work, the ministry.

CHAPTER III

YOUNG DOWIE BEGINS HIS LABORS AS A PASTOR

NOW that young John Alexander Dowie was ready to begin preaching the Gospel,
the question that confronted him, and indeed the question which has confronted
many a young minister was, where should he begin? For a time he thought of
returning to Scotland. But before fully making up his mind, he visited a
community in South Australia, by the name of Alma. While there he received a call
to the local Congregational pastorate. At first he declined, but after further
consideration, he felt that Divine Providence was directing. On April 1, 1872, he
accepted the call. His work there was divided between several congregations. The
central church was located two miles from Alma, which was about sixty miles
north of Adelaide. His ministry included appointments at preaching stations which
were located several miles distant from each other.
Upon taking over the pulpit, the young minister did not lose any time in beginning
his denouncement of the popular evils of the day, especially of the use of
intoxicating liquors. Dissipation was not uncommon amongst the ministry, not to
speak of those in the pew, and the community in which he now found himself
laboring as his first charge, certainly was no exception to the rule. As might be
expected his bold preaching against sin did not make him popular with certain
members of his parish. Open resentment soon began to manifest itself, because of
the searching character of his preaching. Nor was the youthful pastor slow to
detect this. However many of the members supported him, and not a few worldly
people of the community were attracted by his message. Nevertheless the work
moved slowly, and despite his most energetic efforts, he was unable seemingly, to
rouse the congregation from its lethargic condition. The results, as they appeared
in proportion to the efforts, seemed to him disproportionate. He believed that it
would be a waste of time to tarry longer at Alma. In December he sent the
following letter of resignation to the church:
Alma, December 5, 1872
Dear Brethren and Sisters:
After much prayer and consideration for the Divine guidance, I have determined to
relinquish my office as your pastor; and now, therefore, resign it into your hands. I
propose this to take effect on the Sabbath, December 29th.

10

JOHN ALEXANDER DOWIE

A LIFE STORY OF TRIALS, TRAGEDIES AND TRIUMPHS

It is with much regret that this decision has been arrived at. My hopes in accepting
your call have not been realized; but I can only view this result as Gods
appointment.
I shall ever feel the deepest interest in your spiritual condition, and that of the
people amongst whom I have here labored for the Redeemer.
In all your future movements, I earnestly implore the direction of the Lord by His
gracious Spirit.
When this time of probation has emerged into the eternity of bliss purchased by
Christs work for our souls, I trust there to meet you where pain is unknown. Until
then, May the God of peace make you perfect in every good work to do His will.
I am faithfully yours in Christ,
John Alexander Dowie
The church accepted with profound sorrow his resignation.
From Alma, John Alexander Dowie received and accepted a call to a pastorate at
Manly Beach, near Sydney. The congregation there gave him a warm welcome, and
people filled the church auditorium to overflowing. Prospects seemed bright,
though he was deeply stirred by the general impenitence of the population, and in
a letter, he remarked of the possibilities of judgment being visited upon the people
because of their sins. An excerpt from this letter written December 3, 1873, is as
follows:
The grasshoppers are becoming a yearly source of danger. There seems, in
prospect of a dry season, to be serious grounds for apprehension, owing to their
increasing numbers. I am sorry that from other causes the crops in many places
will fall short. But I am quite sure that what is given will be far in excess of the
deserving of the reapers for God never deals out to us the full deserts of our sins,
nor rewards us according to our transgressions, either individually or nationally.
We are, however, so used to His overflowing bounty that we demur and bitterly
complain, as if wronged, when He checks its super abundance. How foolish and
wicked that it! Yet it is a folly of which thousands are daily guilty, and that folly is
also the basest ingratitude.
Throughout his life there was a restlessness in the spirit of John Alexander Dowie.
He seemed, from the beginning, to have a feeling that he was a man with a
mission, and that he must be fulfilling it. However, it was many years before he
was to understand the full nature of that mission. But God was teaching him, and
one of the first things the Lord showed him was the hopelessly lost condition of the
human soul without Christ. It was while he labored near Sydney that he became

11

JOHN ALEXANDER DOWIE

A LIFE STORY OF TRIALS, TRAGEDIES AND TRIUMPHS

impressed by the wickedness of society, and its utter need for regeneration through
the power of the Spirit of God. In October, 1874, he wrote:
The awful sights and sounds which I saw and heard in the neighborhood of the
Australian Hall, and elsewhere, have deeply impressed me with the conviction that
there is a terrible amount of evil and misery in this city. The half could not be told
of what is known, and it is my firm belief that not one tithe of wickedness is
apparent to the onlooker. In all classes there is a terrible flood of moral evil, and
while men are discussing mere externals in religious matters, vast numbers of
souls are hardening in vice and are wholly slaves to bodily and corrupt passions.
Nine tenths of infidelity in all classes has, in my opinion, its roots in immorality;
for instinctively the human soul cries out to the living God until it is silenced by
sins consciously opposed to all ideas of purity, and only then does the fearful and
guilty heart question Gods existence, deny His laws, reject His Son, and flee from
His presence.
But with this revelation of mans utter hopelessness without Christ, there was
another lesson that God would teach himthat to a great extent, mans heart is
dead to spiritual things, and his ears are closed, so that he who would reach the
masses with the Gospel, must first bring to the prisoners, bound in Satans fetters
and chains, the ministry of healing and deliverance. Only then would men in areas
where apostasy and wickedness had a strong hold, rally in great numbers to the
call of repentance.
Young Dowie was first to learn of such a ministry, when during the horror of a
great plague that swept over Western Australia, he was led to call on God for some
means to stay the power of the pestilence which was taking away the young and old
alike. In his desperation, as he looked to God, certain Scriptures were brought to
his mind that gave him new light and which met his need in that terrible hour. At
once he began to pray for the sick, and so remarkable were the answers to prayer,
that as far as his congregation was concerned, the plague was stayed. In the
following chapter, we shall let Dr. Dowie tell this story in his own graphic and
moving language.

12

CHAPTER IV

THE STAYING OF THE PLAGUE OF DEATH

JOHN Alexander Dowie continued his ministry in Manly till the close of the year
1874. The smaller churches where he had been ministering afforded him
considerable time to pursue his studies, and he used this time to a good advantage.
But he was beginning to long for larger fields. Opportunity opened for him to take
the pastorate at Newton, a suburb of Sydney. It was while he was in this city, the
tragic event which we have mentioned took place, which in the Providence of God
was to have so vital an influence upon his future. A terrible plague swept through
that part of Australia, and in the vicinity of Sydney, people were dying in such
numbers that the young minister was appalled. Within a few weeks he had
officiated at more than forty funerals, and the sick and dying were everywhere. The
tragedy and sorrow of the people struck his own sensitive spirit with great force.
Dr. Dowie tells the story of it, and how God spoke to his heart and showed him His
promise of healing:
I sat in my study in the parsonage of the Congregational Church, at Newtown, a
suburb of the beautiful city of Sydney, Australia. My heart was very heavy, for I
had been visiting the sick and dying beds of more than thirty of my flock, and I had
cast the dust to its kindred dust into more than forty graves within a few weeks.
Where, oh where was He Who used to heal His suffering children? No prayer for
healing seemed to reach His ear, and yet I knew His hand had not been shortened.
Still it did not save from death even those for whom there was so much in life to
live for God and others. Strong men, fathers, good citizens, and more than all, true
Christians sickened with a putrid fever, suffered nameless agonies, passed into
delirium, sometimes with convulsions, and then died. And oh, what aching voids
were left in many a widowed or orphaned heart. Then there were many homes
where, one by one, the little children, the youths and the maidens were stricken,
and after hard struggling with the foul disease, they too, lay cold and dead. It
seemed sometimes as if I could almost hear the triumphant mockery of fiends
ringing in my ear whilst I spoke to the bereaved ones the words of Christian hope
and consolation. Disease, the foul offspring of its father, Satan, and its mother Sin,
was defiling and destroying the earthly temples of Gods children, and there was no
deliverer.
And there I sat with sorrow-bowed head for my afflicted people, until the bitter
tears came to relieve my burning heart. Then I prayed for some message, and oh,
how I longed to hear some words from Him Who wept and sorrowed for the

13

JOHN ALEXANDER DOWIE

A LIFE STORY OF TRIALS, TRAGEDIES AND TRIUMPHS

suffering long ago, a Man of Sorrows and of Sympathies. Then the words of the
Holy Ghost inspired in Acts 10:38, stood before me all radiant with light, revealing
Satan as the Defiler, and Christ as the Healer. My tears were wiped away, my heart
was strong, I saw the way of healing, and the door thereto was opened wide, so I
said, God help me now to preach the Word to all the dying around, and tell them
how tis Satan still defiles, and Jesus still delivers, for He is just the same today.
A loud ring and several loud raps at the outer door, a rush of feet, and there at my
door stood two panting messengers who said, Oh, come at once, Mary is dying;
come and pray. With just a feeling as a shepherd has who hears that his sheep are
being torn from the fold by a cruel wolf, I rushed from my house, ran hatless down
the street, and entered the room of the dying maiden. There she lay groaning,
grinding her clenched teeth in the agony of the conflict with the destroyer, the
white froth, mingled with her blood, oozing from her pain-distorted mouth. I
looked at her and then my anger burned. Oh, I thought, for some sharp sword of
heavenly temper keen to slay this cruel foe who is strangling that lovely maiden
like an invisible serpent, tightening his deadly coils for a final victory.
In a strange way it came to pass; I found the sword I needed was in my hands, and
in my hand I hold it still and never will I lay it down. The doctor, a good Christian
man, was quietly walking up and down the room, sharing the mothers pain and
grief. Presently he stood at my side and said, Sir, are not Gods ways mysterious?
Instantly the sword was flashed in my handthe Spirits Sword, the Word of God.
Gods way! I said, pointing to the scene of conflict, how dare you, Dr. K, call
that Gods way of bringing His children home from earth to Heaven? No, sir, that
is the devils work, and it is time we called on Him Who came to destroy the work
of the devil, to slay that deadly foul destroyer, and to save the child. Can you pray,
Doctor, can you pray the prayer of faith that saves the sick? At once, offended at
my words, my friend was changed, and saying, You are too much excited, sir, tis
best to say Gods will be done, he left the room.
Excited! The word was quite inadequate for I was almost frenzied with Divinely
imparted anger and hatred of that foul destroyer, Disease, which was doing Satans
will. It is not so, I exclaimed, no will of God sends such cruelty, and I shall never
say Gods will be done to Satans works, which Gods own Son came to destroy,
and this is one of them. Oh, how the Word of God was burning in my heart:
Jesus of Nazareth went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of
the devil; for God was with Him. And was not God with me? And was not Jesus
there and all His promises true? I felt that it was even so, and turning to the
mother I inquired, Why did you send for me? To which she answered, Do pray,
oh pray for her that God may raise her up. So we prayed. What did I say? It may
be that I cannot recall the words without mistake, but words are in themselves of
small importance. The prayer of faith may be a voiceless prayer, a simple heartfelt
look of confidence into the face of Christ. At such a moment words are few, but

14

JOHN ALEXANDER DOWIE

they mean much, for God is looking at the heart. Still, I can remember much of
that prayer unto this day, and asking God to aid I will endeavor to recall it. I cried:
Our Father, help! and Holy Spirit, teach me how to pray. Plead Thou for us, oh,
Jesus, Savior, Healer, Friend, our Advocate with God the Father. Hear and heal,
Eternal One! From all disease and death deliver this sweet child of Thine. I rest
upon the Word. We claim the promise now. The Word is true, I am the Lord that
heals thee. Then heal her now. The Word is true, I am the Lord, I change not.
Unchanging God, then prove Thyself the Healer now. The Word is true, These
signs shall follow them that believe in My Name, they shall lay hands on the sick,
and they shall recover. And I believe, and I lay hands in Jesus Name on her, and
claim this promise now. Thy word is true, The prayer of faith shall save the sick.
Trusting in Thee alone, I cry, oh, save her now, for Jesus sake, Amen!
And lo, the maid lay still in sleep, so deep and sweet that the mother asked in a low
whisper, Is she dead? No, I answered, in a whisper lower still, Mary will live;
the fever is gone. She is perfectly well and sleeping as an infant sleeps. Smoothing
the long dark hair from her now peaceful brow, and feeling the steady pulsation of
her heart and cool moist hands, I saw that Christ had heard and that once more, as
long ago in Peters house, He touched her and the fever left her. Turning to the
nurse I said, Get me at once, please, a cup of cocoa and several slices of bread and
butter. Beside the sleeping maid we sat quietly and almost silently until the nurse
returned, and then I bent over her and snapping my fingers called Mary!
Instantly she woke, smiled and said, Oh, sir, when did you come? I have slept so
long; then stretching her arms out to meet her mothers embrace, she said,
Mother, I feel so well. And hungry, too? I asked, pouring some of the cocoa in a
saucer and offering it to her when cooled by my breath. Yes, hungry too, she
answered with a little laugh, and drank and ate again, and yet again, until all was
gone. In a few minutes she fell asleep, breathing easily and softly. Quietly thanking
God we left her bed and went to the next room where her brother and sister also
lay sick of the same fever. With these two we also prayed, and they were healed.
The following day all three were well and in a week or so they brought me a little
letter and a gift of gold, two sleeve links with my monogram, which I wore for
many years. As I went away from the home where Christ as the Healer had been
victorious, I could not but have somewhat in my heart of the triumphant song that
rang through Heaven, and yet I was not a little amazed at my own strange doings,
and still more at my discovery that HE IS JUST THE SAME TODAY.
And this is the story of how I came to preach the Gospel of Healing through Faith
in Jesus.
The plague was stayed as far as John Alexander Dowies congregation was
concerned. Not another person from his flock died of the epidemic. It was through
this grim pestilence of wholesale death, that God revealed to him the nature of the

15

ministry which later was to bring him into world prominence. It would have been
well if the young minister could have entered into it fully at once. But the Divine
healing ministry was almost unheard of in those days, and there were numerous
other lessons the young preacher had yet to learn. He was to suffer many reverses
and sorrows, and be tested in the furnace of fiery trial and affliction, until at last
there was born within his soul the full realization of his appointed destiny.
And so, from this early manifestation of Gods power to heal, which John
Alexander Dowie was to remember and later to give due heed, we must return to a
narration of events which transpired in his life during the years immediately
following. Shortly after this miraculous intervention of Providence which stayed
the terror of the plague, the youthful minister was married. In the following
chapter, we shall record some of the circumstances which were associated with
that important event in his life.

CHAPTER V

HIS MARRIAGE TO JEANIE

WHILE young Dowie was at Manly, just before he left to take a pastorate at
Newton he became exercised in the matter of his choice of a life companion. The
story of how he came to choose a wife and to win her, is an interesting interlude of
his early career. In a letter to his parents he speaks informally of his feelings about
marriage, and we quote a brief excerpt from it:
O tell it not in Gath, else the Philistines will rejoice! If only the dear creatures in
Manly, who have engaged me at least six times, to widows and maidens of all
sorts, could look over my shoulder now, it would be such fun. But I am like Aesops
frogs, who appealed to the boys who stoned them, calling out What is fun to you,
is death to us!
Seriously though, I am feeling that if I am to settle in New South Wales or
elsewhere, I ought to marry, and if I do, I mean to. But to whom, you say! How
can I tell? But do you not know? No, I do not know; but the Bible tells me that A
good wife is from the Lord, and since I want a good one at all risks, I will ask the
Lord to send her to me.
Actually however, he had already fallen in love with his cousin, Jeanie. At first he
had felt that the relationship was a bar to marriage. But as time went on it seemed
to him that he had given all of his first love to this young lady and he did not find
that he could recall it. He said nothing about the state of his feelings, however,
until some little time later, when he learned that Jeanie was planning on attending
a ball. The thought that the girl he loved was attending such a worldly affair cut
him to the heart. He wrote her a letter, warning her of the danger, and at the same
time, as he afterwards put it, let the cat out of the bag, by informing her of his
own personal feelings, and that his action proceeded from a very deep and special
care for her welfare.
The young minister was not long in learning that his well-intended letter was far
from being kindly received. Stunned by the abrupt answer, his feelings were too
deeply wounded to say anything further. He at once pressed his plans for taking a
pastorate at a distance, and six weeks later he went to Manly Beach, took up his
duties there, believing that time and distance and new associations would work a
cure. But as the weeks and months went by, he secretly had to admit that his
thoughts concerning his cousin were not substantially altered.

17

JOHN ALEXANDER DOWIE

A LIFE STORY OF TRIALS, TRAGEDIES AND TRIUMPHS

In his anxiety to forget, he absorbed himself in work, and crowded every waking
hour with occupation. This eventually resulted in a severe illness, and necessitated
his taking a period of rest. Shortly after his recovery, he supposed he had fallen in
love with another young lady, but this did not last long. His own words concerning
this brief affair were:
I cheated myself with a vain illusion of another love at the end of the year, but that
soon vanished, a good deal to my pain for awhile, but now I see it was for the best,
for it was only a beautiful, transient, desert mirage.
As the young man labored on in his work, he suffered an increasing loneliness of
heart, and feeling acutely the lack of a home, he came to believe that he would be a
better minister if he had a wife, and made it a matter of prayer and frequent
thought.
Then one day he received intelligence from his parents that his uncle and Jeanie
were coming on a visit. The young man did not know whether to be glad or sorry.
Because of the relationship, he realized that his only course was to make their visit
as agreeable as possible. He determined, however, that he would in no wise renew
his attentions or make any proposal to Jeanie unless be saw some reason for
encouragement. He did keep this resolve until the last Monday of the visit. On the
evening of that day, the uncle being weary, retired early, and Jeanie, who had
attended prayer-meeting, sat chatting with the young minister. Soon before they
were aware of it, the young couple found that their conversation had glided into
the matter of their feelings toward each other. Jeanie made reference to the letter
written two years before, and acknowledged that her cousin had been quite right in
his advice. Moreover, she admitted that she cared very much for him, and her
feelings were such that she would be willing to be his wife, but for one
circumstance, that they were cousins.
Still, the young minister felt that this barrier of relationship was only a seeming
one. He considered it had no real grounds in reason, and was in fact only a
superstition. It is interesting to note at this day, three quarters of a century later,
that science, after many years of observation, has come to the conclusion that a
cousin relationship is no physical handicap in marriage unless there appear
tendencies to similar abnormalities in both families.
However, Jeanie asked for time to think the matter over. Then there was the
problem of securing her fathers consent. The following day, the uncle, becoming
suspicious that something was transpiring between the young people, made
inquiry, and upon being informed by his daughter of the conversation of the night
before, strongly expressed his disapproval of the proposed marriage. Just before
boarding the steamer on the next day, Jeanie called her cousin aside and

18

JOHN ALEXANDER DOWIE

A LIFE STORY OF TRIALS, TRAGEDIES AND TRIUMPHS

acquainted him with the attitude her father had taken in the matter, and what he
had said.
Notwithstanding his uncles disapproval, things had now developed to a point
where with his reawakened love for Jeanie, the young man could not bear to look
forward to life without her. Regarding his affection, Dowie in writing to his parents
said, I believe she loves me, and I do with a strange intensity, not the growth of a
day, or with passion like a beardless boys or a fools devotion. The visit had so
revived his love, that it seemed impossible to him that it could ever find true
fulfillment in any person but her. Moreover, he felt that there was no reason that
God would not bless such a union. He resolved to enlist the assistance of his
parents. This was done in a letter which he wrote telling of events that had
occurred during his uncles visit of which part of it follows:
When I began this letter to you, it was with full intention that it should be private,
and without desire that other eyes should look upon it. But now when I begin to
consider how you could aid me in this vitally important matter, it occurs to me that
it might best be done by a calm conference with uncle upon this subject, and by
showing him this letter, as a candid history and a permanent statement of my
feeling regarding Jeanie. You might put before him my views on this matter, and
ask him to consider whether her future peace and happiness may not be bound up
in my getting her, even as mine appears to be.
I know that he is a reasonable man who loves his child greatly, and he will be
ready, I think, calmly to review the whole matter should it be properly laid before
him. Unless I am greatly mistaken, he is well inclined and friendly toward me, and
objects to the marriage upon no other ground but that our relationship has
opposed this matter. Let me then address myself as briefly as possible to the
subject, and state a few facts and considerations bearing upon the physical
question to which he attaches considerable importance....
My conclusion is based upon the following factsviz. That throughout the whole
record of Jewish law and history, this practice was not only permitted, but
especially permitted and approved in the most illustrious examples; and that no
stricter or severer marriage code ever existed than that of the Jews, which
moreover was of Divine authority. To take an instance, Jacob married Rachel and
Leah, his full cousins and from these were descended the founders of the Jewish
nation. The Mosaic Law, famous for its model purity, contains no prohibition of
any sort.
There is much more to the letter - Dowie in his earlier years, sometimes wrote
letters of extreme length, even sitting up all night to finish them. In bringing this
unique request to a close, he said, Now father, I constitute you my ambassador to
uncle; mother will do her part in a loving way, I know, should opportunity offer,

19

JOHN ALEXANDER DOWIE

A LIFE STORY OF TRIALS, TRAGEDIES AND TRIUMPHS

and I beg you as early as you can, have a long chat with uncle all about it,
presenting this letter as your credentials, and as my plea.
Apparently this letter, together with the good graces of his parents and the
cooperation of Jeanie, had the effect of securing reluctant permission from the
uncle to let the marriage take place. But that there must have been no little
hesitation on the latters part, is revealed in the fact that he was soon to find
serious fault with his nephews judgment and to give him some sharp advice,
which was as unappreciated as it was unsolicited. But at any rate, permission if not
whole-hearted approval, was granted and the wedding date was set for May ~6,
1876just one day after the grooms twenty-ninth birthday.
In writing to his parents, he expressed his desire that the marriage be a quiet affair
with no great fuss over it. In the letter he approved the idea that marriage was a
religious act first, and a civil act next. It is a great mysterya type of the highest
mysteries of our spiritual affinity with Christand it is the only institution, which
ordained in mans innocence in Eden, has been perpetuated unbrokenly since. A
marriage is a favorable occasion for a miracle of grace and since the House of the
Lord is to be our marriage place, surely we may expect many bright and cheering
tokens of His presence and transforming spiritual power.
The marriage took place quietly on the day appointed, and with his young bride,
Dowie returned to intensive work in his pastorate in Newton. Jeanie was a young
woman of excellent character, and although she was to suffer not a few trials and
privations during the period in which her husband was getting established in his
new ministry, and though misfortunes and unexpected reverses seemed to plague
his steps with monotonous regularity, she bravely adjusted herself to each
situation, making the best of it. Young Dowie showed a strong sense of
responsibility, and never was his heart more grieved than when his fortunes
reached their lowest ebb, and it seemed that he was unable to supply the meager
needs of his family. But those dark days were to pass.
We must record, however, that the couple was to go through a painful experience
shortly after their marriage, due to the dissatisfaction of Jeanies father with his
son-in-laws way of doing things. It so happened about a year after the marriage
that the wife, at her parents insistence, went home to stay shortly before the birth
of the first child. During that period, the young mother-to-be was constantly
subjected to her fathers pointed criticism of her husband. It is only too common a
thing for such circumstances to lead to a rift between husband and wife. The
husband was not there to defend himself, and the uncle, not able to understand or
sympathize with his sons-in-law viewpoint, in his perhaps sincere although carnal
reasoning, portrayed the young mans future plans to Jeanie in a most unfavorable
light.

20

JOHN ALEXANDER DOWIE

A LIFE STORY OF TRIALS, TRAGEDIES AND TRIUMPHS

Such a rift did not develop, however, inasmuch as Jeanie, the good wife that she
was, soon recognized that she was making a mistake to share in her fathers critical
attitude. She admitted her mistake and asked her husbands forgiveness. The fact
was that the young man had written two or three letters, almost works of genius,
that were so compelling in their logic that even the uncle admitted that he must
have been mistaken in his appraisal of his new son-in-law. He conceded that any
young man that could write such letters, must have merit, and was apparently of
different stamp than he had supposed. But this is a story that must be reserved for
the next chapter.
We have record of a letter written by young Dowie to his betrothed some three
months before the approaching marriage. The letter is too long to quote fully here,
but we shall give certain parts of it. Examination reveals a deeply thoughtful and
spiritual tone throughout its entirety:
Newtown, Australia
April, 1876
Dearest Jeanie:
I know I wish to do all I can to secure your happiness and make you a good
husband. Sometimes I fear lest I should even partly fail through lack of power or
qualities which many possess, but then I am reassured by remembering that the
will to be brings the power to do, in this as in other things. And I know I have the
will to be true and loving to you. We shall ask God every day to chase all self-love,
and self-will, away from our hearts and lives. Shall it now be true? Never until our
wills are in accord with Gods can we be happy truly and permanently; and it is a
joyous thing to live the life Gods will appoints. My griefs and my trials have all
sprung from self-will, which after all is only another name for self-love, or selfworship; and God has found me a dull scholar in learning practically, how
completely every life must fail in which the first principle is not an entire
renunciation of self. It is a fearful delusion to imagine that the gladness and beauty
of living can be found in a self-pleasing, feverish life of pleasure or ease. To do
quietly as may be, cheerfully and with a light footstep, the work to which God has
called us must be and so far as I have experienced it is, the happiest of lives. Not
knowing, or forgetting this leads many away into worldly by-paths, into meadows
which look cool and green, into paths of sin, which bring the soul into dangers or
dark Doubt, and into the hands of Giant Despair as Bunyan would sayinto the
Highway of Death.
.Reverse the weavers beautiful, silken, brilliant and almost perfect fabric. It is all
a tangled mass of confused, disorderly threads on the side from which he wrought,
very different indeed to the beauty upon which you look. So with lifethe side
from which we work looks tangled indeed, and without plans; but it is not so.

21

JOHN ALEXANDER DOWIE

A LIFE STORY OF TRIALS, TRAGEDIES AND TRIUMPHS

Every mans life is a plan of God, in one sense. O that we could rise on the wings of
faith and love, and view our lives from the heavenly side, which God looks upon!
If we wrought out in our lives with the ever present consciousness that He was
working in our souls His own good will and pleasure, we should not fret or
murmur because all the threads did not seem straight, and because we could not
quite see His design.
Wonderful lives are being woven by patient submission and love to God on earth.
How much we have spoiled by sin and folly! Let us quickly do better together; and
we shall be blessed in our doing, and one day God will show us all. To get the spirit
and temper, we need much prayer, and retiring from the bustle, need to seek God
in stillness. I find it so amid my many failures and frailties, and I say to you, Jeanie
dear, get often alone with God.
Here are a few verses which I wrote some time ago. They may tell you better what I
mean. But do not think that I am all my words would make you suppose. I am very
frail and very faithless, often it seems to me, but the words breathe my desires and
hopes and strivings to be what Christ would have me.
How good to leave the world awhile
How good to seek our Saviors smile
And follow in His way;
Oh, could we but our hearts resign
And fully trust Gods own design
We soon should find it day.
Though night encompass us around,
Though foes despoil our holy ground
And cause our hearts to fear,
Our Savior, from the Mount of Prayer
The feeblest cry doth bend to hear
And quickly doth appear

22

JOHN ALEXANDER DOWIE

The stormy seas His feet can tread,

They hear the Voice that wakes the dead,
Commanding, Peace, be still,
And guided by our Pilots hand
Our storm-tossed souls shall reach the land,
Preserved from every ill.

CHAPTER VI

IN-LAW TROUBLE

During the fall of 1877, Dr. Dowies first child, a son, Alexander John Gladstone,
was born. He was named after The Honorable W. E. Gladstone, Prime Minister of
the British parliament, in whom Dowie had confidence as a Christian patriot. As
already mentioned, Jeanies folk thought it would be best for her to return and stay
with them during the period preceding her confinement. The husband was
reluctant to accede to this and had a premonition that trouble might ensue, and in
this he was not mistaken.
It so happened that at this time, the young minister had made a mistake in trusting
certain persons in financial matters. This left him short of funds, and ill-advisably,
he wrote to his uncle, explaining his difficulties. He was soon to learn of his
mistake, for the uncle who had never been enthusiastic about the marriage, took it
upon himself to reprimand severely the young minister, and wrote him a letter
giving him some rather frank and unasked for advice. Worse than that, he almost
succeeded in convincing his daughter that she had made a serious mistake in
marrying her cousin, whom he was now inclined to believe to be an erratic young
preacher, unable to get his roots down anywhere, and whose financial
circumstances were going bad to worse. In his opinion, his son-in-law offered his
daughter an unpromising and precarious existence. Although, it was a letter that
could hardly be taken otherwise than as an insult to the young mans ability care
for a wife and family. As might be anticipated, Dowie resented this communication
exceedingly, and wrote a long letter to his wife, remonstrating in vigorous terms
against his uncles insinuations.
In reading, carefully, the letters which we may only record in part, it appears that
the main objection Dowies father-in -law had to hint, was that be did not have the
proper appreciation of money, and was planning his future moves without due
consideration to the financial remuneration. He considered it very ill-advised that
his sow law should resign his present pastorate where his income was fairly
substantial, and attempt to found a new church where the prospect of finances was
to his way of thinking altogether uncertain. In the first of the letters, the young
man wrote to his wife, thus:
And Jeanie, my love, this is my answer to the words of your father who, instead of
giving me sympathy, sneers at my faith. I do not need to be told that my life has
been full of sins and errors of judgment, and certainly when I am suffering I do not

24

JOHN ALEXANDER DOWIE

A LIFE STORY OF TRIALS, TRAGEDIES AND TRIUMPHS

need any of my nearest to join in the cry, He saved others, himself he cannot save,
which comes to me now as to many since Christ heard it in the hour of darkness
though then it came from his enemies. I have confessed my sins to a forgiving and
gracious God; I have even confessed to man, and I have done, am doing and shall
do, what in me lies, aided by God, to see that no one suffers permanent loss
through my errors, and through my over-confidence in those who should have
been trustworthy.
If you find yourself and our pet looked upon thus in the slightest degree, you are
to come back to me at once, for I will not have that; no, not for a moment. I can
keep you here as you know, and I would a thousand times rather submit to
privation than have you there or anywhere looked upon as one of my troubles
thrown upon other people, for you two are my greatest earthly comforts, whom it
is hard to part with even for a time, and whom I want back the first day they cease
to be happy at Adelaide.
Please do not let your father imagine that I am asking him to help me, for I have
not asked for a penny, and I am glad that I have not, and I do not intend to. I
would rather go back into a business if it were necessary, than to ask any of them.
So you will please let your father know in your own words, that I am sorry that I
wrote to him about my troubles, that I did not, and do not, ask him to help me at
all in any way, and that I want you to come back at once if there is any more said
about me.... Indeed I am thoroughly sorry you went back now, and you will
remember I had half a foreboding that something like this would occur.
I had rather, though I am myself one of the very weakest of His children, build my
house (upon the Rock of Ages) though it made but a very poor appearance to
thoseyea, I had rather do this, ten thousand times rather than own all the palaces
and treasures of this world built on the shifting sands of Time, for they shall fall,
and with all that cling to them, be swept away into the sea of Divine Wrath whilst
the soul on Christs foundation shall behold with joy the morning of a new heaven
and a new earth, wherein dwells righteousness alone.
Well, now dear, I must say, anyhow, resolved I am to leave Newtown and though I
can see how I could do a good work for Christ in Sydney, yet I do not feel as if I had
yet received the command Go forward into that city!
Before this letter could get to his wife, the situation at her fathers home had
developed into a yet more antagonistic attitude toward the conduct of the young
minister. At her fathers direction, Jeanie wrote her husband a letter calling into
question the wisdom of his plans. Apparently her parents were bent on saving
Dowie from a course which they thought was utter folly. The young ministers
sharp reaction to the letter may be seen in his reply which, because of its great
length, we can quote only the most pertinent portions. The reader may see that

25

JOHN ALEXANDER DOWIE

A LIFE STORY OF TRIALS, TRAGEDIES AND TRIUMPHS

these letters are far from ordinary, and they give no little insight into the character
and nature of this young man, who, getting ready to sever denominational ties, was
about to launch out in an evangelistic effort of his own, in the city of Sydney. The
first letter follows:
Dear Wife:
Your letter of the 22nd received today.
It certainly needed the assurance which you added in a tardy and brief postscript
Do not think me hard in this: for I do love you sobecause there was no other
trace of love anywhere in the letter.
I do think it hard and more, I think it full of unkindness and injustice to me, and
written in quite an impudent manner. There is an utter absence of all true
sympathy ... and a tone which I never could or would use toward you. It does not
become you at all. I wont reply to itI will ignore it altogether, else my vexation
might cause me to say more than would be pleasant to read.
The fact is that you are thoroughly demoralized, that is, cowed with fear and
doubt, through your residence among those whose only standard of success seems
to be pounds, shillings and dimes. It is a thoroughly faithless letter, showing as
little faith in God as it does in me, and but for the certainty that you wrote it, I
would maintain you could not have written it. I dare say that you thought you were
doing a smart thing in writing it, and imparting some very necessary chastisement
to a foolish and weak-minded fellow who was too fond of you to resent it; but you
missed your aim completely and have only fallen in my esteem as a consequence of
your ill-timed and ungenerous smartness.
You are not the same wife now as when you left me alone in Sydney: for you left me
as you had lived with mebright and hopeful, believing in God and trusting in me.
Not a single fact has been altered, except I am a little poorer than we thought, and
that now my heart is burdened with a fresh sorrow in you.
How very kind you were in your condescension to my supposed craven spirit when
you thoroughly endorsed your fathers epithets, which could scarce have been
more utterly abusive, had I been a low thief, in some parts of his letter, and which
are insufferably impertinent throughout! Just look at a few of the things that you
have thoroughly endorsed. I am said to have caused you to go through an ordeal
mortifying in extreme to all concerned but more especially in her who is your wife
and who has such a fine, sensitive nature. Dont you think that I was surprised to
find you endorsing the sentiment that selling off our furniture was such an ordeal,
when you never once expressed pain at our decision, but said you felt we were
doing right, up to the last hour that I saw you?

26

JOHN ALEXANDER DOWIE

A LIFE STORY OF TRIALS, TRAGEDIES AND TRIUMPHS

Then you thoroughly endorse that I have made a bad beginning. and you
ought to make a clean breast of the matter and show me a statement of your assets
and your liabilities. and for the future trust your wife with the spending of the
money. Dont you think I ought to feel honored, cheered and comforted by all
these kind things, so very flattering, are they not? Why, if I were the meanest cur
that ever yelped, I would not submit to such all round kicking without one last
dying bark of protest To this man I owe nothing but a forbearing love, which he
is trying to the utmost. I had rather break stones tomorrow on the highway than
even turn a thought to him as my helper.
And I feel I would indeed be a distruster of God to think that I should ever be left
to his tender mercies. Remember that I thought it only a duty to tell him my
affairs, as your father, and that I never asked him for help at any time, and never
gave him any warrant for thus abusing me. And what right or reason have you to
endorse these sentiments? It is likely that this will strengthen our bonds of love
or fit us to train up our child for God?
... You say I have left you destitute: for you endorse the charge your father makes
in these words, You have no other place to go to, and you have nothing whatever
to provide for your wife and child, which is your first duty as a Christian man, and
there are no miracles performed to provide for ministers wives and children.
No, how can you grieve my heart with such a cruel, unwifely, and untrue charge as
this is? How do you think I sleep with such charges for my pillows? Why I cant
sleep at all.
Dont be afraid: you need not go with me unless you choose. I have never forced
and never will force your inclinations. I will reason with you, and show you the way
as far as I can, and if you wont do the thing heartily because it is right, I am sure
you will never be able to love, to live with, to aid, and to comfort me; nor shall I be
of any good to you. I will provide for you as largely as I can, if you elect to stay
where you are. I say this not loving you less, but so far as I can, as much as ever,
though I have set my heart supremely upon God, as I have always told you, and I
will not allow even you to keep me back from the right, or cause me to pluck the
forbidden fruit, to me, of worldly conformity to which your fathers words would
lead me, if I followed your course.
If you do not fulfill my request at once, do not be surprised if my letters are brief
and few: for I shall not feel justified in writing much, nor shall I expect you to care
to hear much from me. But if you can come back to me right willingly and with
true love, confidence and sympathy, then you are coming back to one whose heart
is most willing to receive you, and who has never distrusted or reproached you
until now, but from whose heart every trace of distrust and reproach will flee the
moment he knows you are once more wholly true to him in heart. O Jeanie, you

dont know how deeply you have wounded my heart. If you will not, then a dark
cloud which only death can remove will hang over my life until it ends. The saddest
day for me you ever lived was that in which you re-entered your fathers house; for
it has separated in sympathy two hearts that had always been true to each other
until the poison of distrust, fear and reproach was instilled. I pray God may bless
you and my boy and make you happier than I can be.
Your husband,
John Alexander Dowie
(This letter dated Nov. 19, 1877, tells of the restoration of his wife to his heart.)
My Beloved Wife:
Your two long and loving and satisfactory letters of the 10th and 12th are now
before me, and I thank God that I can once more feel that there is no fear in your
love for me, and no doubt in your heart as to your being wholly and truly my own
trustful and beloved wife. Surely then I may praise God for this token of good, and
be grateful to Him that He so directed my thoughts and guided my pen that I was
able to break the spell of the Enchanter, Fear, who had well-nigh alienated us in
heart, under the most specious of pretenses. I fear that this victory may lead me if I
do not take care, in the toils of an Enchantress named Vanity; for I cannot help
remembering that twice I have won you to my heart by my pen, which has
stretched across the lands and seas, and gained each time a famous victory.
But I have no desire to fight such battles again - especially the last - or gain any
more such costly victories. Madame Vanity cannot make me forget the hard
knocks, the deep wounds, and many heart agonies I suffered in the fight, and the
danger that I felt there was, lest I should injure you, my beloved, whilst fighting to
get you out of the hand of your enemya man had need to be a good marksman
who would shoot a lion as it was bounding off into the forest in triumph with his
one little ewe lamb. It is the sort of experiment which one does not wish to
repeat; and I trust that my darling ewe lamb which I had given of my own meat
which has drunk of my own cup and which lies in my bosommy own dear
wifewill not be enticed away again either by cunning foxes or roaring lions.
Nothing could be more complete than your restoration to my heart after receiving
your letters; and my only regrets were, first, that there ever was any cloud between
usthough even that we shall yet see was overruled for goodand second, that
there was a letter of mine upon the way, which was written and sent before I
received either of yours, that might pain you needlessly. However, I dispatched a
telegram ahead of it, which has, I trust, taken away the sting. I only wish it could
be brought back to me unknown to you; for it is the letter I least like of all that I
have written, in some parts at least, which I need not now particularize. Just look

28

JOHN ALEXANDER DOWIE

A LIFE STORY OF TRIALS, TRAGEDIES AND TRIUMPHS

upon it as another shot fired by me into the body of the aforesaid lion, which my
first shot killed outright, though I knew it not; and forgive me, if I have borne too
hardly upon you, as fully and freely as I forgive you.
Your letters have driven my weariness from my heart, as the sun drives away the
mists of the nightand proved a true comforter from God. To see you so truly with
me again, and to know that even your father had been so favorably affected by
what was, I must confess, rather stern handling in some parts, was so unexpected
and complete a change of the whole situation of affairs, that it seemed too good to
be true, and my heart found relief in what you women call a good cry, and a very
grateful tribute of prayer and praise to God.
Candidly you must admit, and you do, that I put upon his letter its apparently
correct interpretation; and desirous as I am not to bear too hardly upon himfor I
do love him, and them all very dearly but you must permit me to say that he has
not only failed in a correct conception of my whole position, and worse still, he
failed to realize his changed position toward you, now that you are my wife; for
though he can never change in his relation to you as your father, yet his power to
direct you has passed away by his own consent and Gods ordination into other
hands That is the cardinal mistake which he made; and now that he sees
something of these mistakes from what you have written I infer thatsurely I
can overlook them: for after all they sprang from his great love for you, his child,
and therefore he evidently thinks with me, and there we fully agree, that we cannot
love you too much.
I am very sorry if I have seemed to insult him in any way by my expressions, some
of which I would be prepared to greatly modify. Indeed it seems very generous of
him to praise the ability and talent of a letter which dealt so severely with his
letter to me; and I respect him all the more for the remark, which is, I fear, more
flattering than it deserved for my letter was simply an honest examination of his,
to a large extent, and made no claim to anything of a masterly sort since literary
achievement was not in all my thoughts. When we come together again, if the Lord
spares us, we must pray more together and read Gods Word more together and
talk over it at regular times. But my love, when I think how imperfectly I have
discharged my duties to you in many ways, and when I know how weak and foolish
and sinful I often am and have been, I can only wonder at Gods mercy in giving
me so comforting a love as yours is to me. My heart longs for the time when we
shall prove to each other how true it is that our love never was broken, and now it
is stronger than ever.
Let your heart be perfectly at rest concerning our future, for it is in the best of
hands, come what may, I can see that future far more clearly than I can solve the
mysteries of the immediate present. I seem like a man that has his goal in sight on
some mountainside, but there lies between a misty valley, where fogs cover all

29

from his eyes, as he passes through them, across the little river from whence they
rise. Going on, going on, watching, praying and working is all that I can do, certain
that whatever happens I shall get out on the right side; but I wont turn back
because I cant see all I would like of the road before me...
Your loving husband,
John Alexander Dowie

CHAPTER VII

DOWIE LEAVES THE ORGANIZED CHURCH

THE time had arrived when John Alexander Dowie was to make a most important
decisiona decision which was not only to give a new direction to his own life, but
was, in the years to come, to profoundly effect the destinies of tens of thousands of
people. As the reader may have anticipated. Dowies habit of thinking for himself
did not lend itself to a sympathy for the cold, formal, unimaginative ministry of his
day. His own soul flamed with the passion of a crusader who hoped to reach the
masses for Christ, and he was perplexed and impatient with apathetic churches
that seemed so unconcerned, when all around were the dying thousands.
It was true that his efforts in pastorates where he had labored had been attended
with no little success, but he was quite aware that his aggressiveness, instead of
being appreciated, was being less than enthusiastically received by the leaders of
the denomination. He also knew that the progressive methods that he was
employing to reach the masses were viewed with suspicion if not hostility. In a
letter to his wife, he declared that in his estimation, the system of the
Congregational Church killed initiative and individual energy, made men
denominational tools, or worse, caused them to become worldly-minded, and left
them high and dry and useless for the most partgood ships, but badly steered
and terribly over laden with worldliness and apathy.
As the year 1877 drew to a close, John Alexander Dowie, in resigning from his
pastorate at Newton, made known his intention to leave the Congregational
Church. As already has been intimated, for a long time he had felt an increasing
burden for the ignorant, uncared for, and perishing masses of the big cities. He
sketched the possibilities of gathering together many from all these classes to hear
the Gospel, and contemplated the formation of a church which might work night
and day for the reclamation of the perishing. With this conviction confirmed in his
soul, he severed forever his relation with the Congregational Church, and at the
beginning of 1878, he began to make definite plans for his new work. Confident
that God had led him in making this decision, be secured the auditorium of the
Royal Theater in Sydney.
Dowies main immediate difficulty in getting a start in this new venture was the
lack of capital. He had never been able to get ahead financially, and his relatives
who were not enthusiastic about the proposed venture could not be expected to
lend him help. The only alternative to giving up his plans altogether, seemed to be

31

JOHN ALEXANDER DOWIE

A LIFE STORY OF TRIALS, TRAGEDIES AND TRIUMPHS

that he dispose of his furniture and move into less expensive quarters. This he
finally decided to do. His wife, who was more willing than many a helpmate would
have been under similar circumstances, resigned herself to whatever decision her
husband should make. Years later in his Chicago pulpit, Dr. Dowie related a few
sidelights on the poignancy of the decision that was made at the time:
I remember one of the hardest things I ever had to do was back in my home in
Australia. I had there a fine collection of pictures. I took great pleasure in going
down to my drawing room and looking at the pictures one after another, and I
remember one in particular that I delighted in more than the rest. It was a picture
by a famous Australian artist called The Lyre Birds Home. I used to go down and
look at it for many minutes at a time, and fasten my eyes upon the wonderful
things that God had wrought in the depths of the shady woods, in the blueness of
the sky, in the song of the birds, and in the still coolness of the forest depths. Oh, it
was a comfort to me to sit and look at that lovely picture. I had wanted to hold a
series of meetings in Sydney, and had not the means to accomplish it; where to get
the money for the purpose, I did not know.
So I looked around and saw a good many things without which my wife and I
could get along. We thought we could get along with a smaller house, and I could
do without the pictures and a great many other things; so I just called an auction,
and sold all my magnificent pictures and a lot of my costly furniture. We took a
smaller house, went into it with cheaper furniture, and I was able to do the work of
the Lord in that city. My beautiful furniture and pictures were gone, but there
came in place of them men and women that were brought to the feet of Jesus by
the sale of my earthly goods.
Now began a painful period of his life in which he was to meet a series of
discouragements and misfortunes that in all probability would have broken a man
with less resolution and determination. God had called the young minister to a
special mission, but it was only after he had suffered years of heartaches and
disappointments that he was to understand clearly the Divine pattern for his life.
Nevertheless, his resignation from the Congregational Church at the close of his
pastoral ministry at Newton was a significant and important step in the course his
life was to take.
With money that he had obtained by the painful process of selling his household
goods, he rented the Theater Royal in Sydney, and in the early part of the year
1878, began preaching to a comparatively small congregation. The numbers that
were attending rapidly grew, however, and within a month his audience increased
to nearly a thousandsome coming over to help him from his old pastorate in
Newton. If he could have remained in the theater, it is possible his hopes would
have been more nearly fulfilled. Unfortunately, the cost of the auditorium which he

32

JOHN ALEXANDER DOWIE

A LIFE STORY OF TRIALS, TRAGEDIES AND TRIUMPHS

rented was beyond the means of the congregation to pay. He was therefore forced
to move to a less favorably located building called Protestant Hall.
Nevertheless the young minister refused to be discouraged with the obstacles he
had met, and about the middle of April, be publicly expressed his intentions for the
formation of what he called a Free Christian Church. He received enough response
to his proposal to encourage him, and shortly after, the services were moved to the
Masonic Hall. But there were heavy financial obligations involved in the
undertaking, and Dowie by this time was practically without funds. Having
previously disposed of his furniture, to the undisguised indignation of his relatives,
he had by now no other personal assets upon which he could draw. In fact, he had
gone into debt to the sum of a hundred pounds when setting up housekeeping. As
often happens in a new field, there occurred a number of unexpected reverses and
difficulties which seriously hindered the progress of the work. It was now the
month of Junethe beginning of winter in Australiaand a series of severe storms
and generally inclement weather sharply curtailed the attendance. Promises of
financial aid that he had been depending on fell through at the most inopportune
time. For a while, it was a battle to secure even the meagerest of the necessities of
life, and the young minister dared not go further into debt. At one point when
reverses and disappointments came almost to the crushing point, he was tempted
to give up the struggle and return to secular employment. Yet, somehow God made
a way for him, and as spring drew near, the weather began to moderate, and
attendance to his services increased.
At last light was shining once more. The work in Sydney gathered strength, and aid
was providentially provided through new conversions. Those who now rallied
around him were not moneyed men but were faithful and believed in his ministry.
At this time, Dowie was led to consider the story of Gideon and his army of 32,000
men, which successively was reduced in number until there were only three
hundred left. He was struck by the applicability of it to his own circumstances. He
felt encouraged, and did not regret the step that he had taken, but declared that
he would rather learn tent-making like Paul than fill the pastorate of the fattest,
sleepiest, and most complacent church of the Laodiceans, whom I see thriving in
their own eyes, though I believe in Gods sight are wretched and miserable and
poor and blind and naked.
Dowies evaluation of the spiritual condition of the churches in Sydney and the
vicinity was not out of reason. In five years time, the Congregational Church had
added only 535 persons to the whole membership of 43 churchesless than three
persons per church annually, and at least one hundred of them were the direct
results of Dowies own ministry. The fact that the Newton church had a 70 per cent
increase during the period of his stay, proved to him that revival was possible if the
churches could be awakened. As he considered the lethargic character of the
ministry and viewed, at the same time, the awful spiritual condition of thousands

33

JOHN ALEXANDER DOWIE

A LIFE STORY OF TRIALS, TRAGEDIES AND TRIUMPHS

of perishing souls, he was brought to the conclusion that he must find Gods way of
reaching the vast number of the unchurched for Christ.
In an undertaking of the nature that Dowie had contemplated and now entered
into, it was to be expected that strong opposition would rise, especially since his
method of fighting the popular sins of the day, and his characteristically vigorous
protest in the pulpit against superficial religion, was well calculated to arouse the
indignation of those who were hit. His innovations included the distribution of
large quantities of literature over the city, which, of course, reached the homes of
members of various churches. Some pastors protested vehemently against such
circulation. His answer to one such minister is interesting
Dear Sir:
In reply to your rude note of yesterday I have to say I do not recognize your right
to request any information from me concerning any of my actions, or as to what
instructions I give to those who are kind enough to cooperate with me in Christian
service Whilst I leave my people entirely to their own discretion as to where and
to whom they distribute my weekly tract, I gave them no instructions to distribute
them in P- and was entirely ignorant that they were distributed there until I
received your note.
Had I any respect for your judgment of anything I might say or do or write, I would
feel that your assertion that my tract of last Sabbath was calculated very seriously
to unsettle the minds of the young and injure their moral tone, to be a statement
demanding instant explanation but, as I consider your judgment to be as feeble
and incapable as your ministry, I do not reckon it to be of the slightest value, and it
would be foolish to be angry or vexed about it much less to be filled with
indignation, as you say you were with my obnoxious paper.
It may interest you to know that no fewer than 14,000 of these very obnoxious
papers have been circulated, and that the liquor dealers and modern Pharisees
generally agree with your opinion, but that there are many thousands of persons
who hold a different opinion and have actually said they did good, which is, of
course, quite a mistake in your profound judgment. Also those 100,000 similar
tracts written by me have been recently circulated in Sydney.
I wish I knew who distributed these obnoxious tracts among your flock; I would
certainly commend his choice of a field, and will certainly do nothing to hinder
perpetuating so gross an impertinence, notwithstanding your threat to take very
vigorous steps to put a stop to it.
I am truly yours,
John Alexander Dowie

CHAPTER VIII

DOWIE TRIES FOR A SEAT IN THE AUSTRALIAN PARLIAMENT

FOUR years had passed since John Alexander Dowie had his first success in
praying for the sick at the time the great plague swept over Eastern Australia.
Gods voice had been speaking to him, showing him the path that he should take.
Yet, he hesitated. The ministry of Divine healing had disappeared so completely
from the Church, that to enter out in a conspicuous way in such a ministry would
be considered by almost all, a most radical and dangerous move. He was not yet
fully prepared to take such a step. Yet, the passionate urge of a crusader and a
reformer made him restless, and he was as one who knew that he had a mission to
perform, but was at a loss as to how to fulfill it.
Dowie was an impressive speaker, and his talents in the pulpit were immediately
recognizable to those who heard him. Nevertheless his preaching did not secure
the results for which he hoped. His writings also were brilliant masterpieces of
logic, and no doubt caused many people to think seriously on the reforms that he
advocated. Still he did not see the progress which he desired, and the moral
wickedness of the great City of Sydney seemed unaffected. Though he violently
denounced the iniquities of the liquor business, and influenced many to sign the
pledge, yet he could not honestly say that the tempo of the liquor traffic had
noticeably diminished. All this depressed him exceedingly.
His ministry, however, was not without growing influence, and at length, certain of
the temperance groups recognizing his talents, approached him as to the
possibility of his campaigning for a seat in the Parliament. At first, he opposed the
idea. He was not certain that such was Gods will for him. Then, too, it was taking a
chance, for if he failed, the result of losing the election would undoubtedly have an
adverse effect upon his efforts to found a Free Christian Church in Sydney,
especially since the work at that time was in a most crucial stage. Nevertheless, the
thought of such an opportunity to voice his convictions in Parliament, was a strong
temptation to him. Friends continued to urge him, and finally, convincing him that
his chances of election were good, they prevailed upon him to run.
He was further encouraged to enter the race, believing that it would be possible for
him to continue his religious work, while he discharged his duties in Parliament.
Then, too, he reasoned that a seat in that august assembly would enhance his
influence and prestige with the people, and thus give him opportunity in bringing
about reforms in the social evils that his soul urgently desired to see accomplished.

35

JOHN ALEXANDER DOWIE

A LIFE STORY OF TRIALS, TRAGEDIES AND TRIUMPHS

But his decision was one that he was soon to regret. In the first place, his entry into
the campaign came too late. Many who would have gladly supported him had
already committed themselves to another candidate. Dowie was in no sense a
politician, who by tradition and practice, compromises one issue in order to gain
another. There never was the slightest suspicion of compromise in the rugged
spirit of Dowie. Friends of another candidate approached him, offering money if he
would withdraw from the race, and promised to support him at the next election.
He unceremoniously spurned all such offers as bribes, and furthermore
indignantly expressed his refusal in strong words.
The youthful candidate, unused to the devious ways of politics, soon found an
effective opposition rising against him. Every kind of rumor was circulated, some
to the effect that he had retired from the race. Newspapers, whose evils bad been
attacked by him in the pulpit, eagerly spread the rumors, and in general expressed
their disapproval of him as candidate for parliament. Dowie was learning that he
could expect little sympathy from the world in his attempts to reform it from its
sins and vices. When the results of the election were in, he was far behind in the
race.
Dowies disappointment over the outcome was deep and painful. The reaction
caused by his defeat, as had been anticipated, seriously affected the work of his
struggling church. His fair weather friends left him. He had spent money he could
ill-afford in his campaigning for election, and now he was deeply mired in debt.
Finances dropped at the mission, and in great discouragement he wrote to his
parents that he was forced to close the work in Sydney, and in a few days would
preach his last message.
Yet, truly it was the Providence of God that caused the young minister to lose the
election. Had he gone to Parliament, his brilliance perhaps might have caused him
to reach the top of the political ladder, but there is reason to believe that his
ministry would have suffered, and it is doubtful that he would ever have launched
out into the ministry of healing which was later to have such effect upon his
generation.
God was guiding His servant, and had he fully learned the lessons that were being
taught him during those days, he might have been spared some heartbreaking
sorrows that were to come later. The man of God really has no place in the
politics of this world. While reformation in government is sadly needed and to be
prayed for and encouraged, yet, the man who has a true calling from God has a
higher work to do. His is a calling to a ministry which strikes at a more vital spot in
the lives of menthat is, their hearts. Not reformation, which is good as far as it
goes, but transformation by the grace of God. Never will politics succeed in
regenerating the world. Only the grace of God can do this work, and then only for
those who will permit such to take place within their hearts.

The Christian Colonist Adelaide, Australia

January 8, 1880
My Dear Mr. Editor:
I read today in your issue of January 2, the spiteful misrepresentations of some
correspondent who signs himself, Spectator. Now, although no cynic, and by no
means regardless of the opinion of my fellowmen, I always treat anonymous
attacks as I do anonymous letters, both of which I have for years been largely
favoured, with utmost contempt; and seldom do I now bestow a second thought
upon them. During more than six years residence and public life in this city, and
for the last three years, bitterly opposed by all sections of the Philistine press
which curses this city and defends the grossest iniquities of our social and political
life, I have only once appeared in print in self-defense. In this city, I do not leave
my daily life and work to answer these cowardly anonymous persons, but it is a
different matter when they cross to your city, where my work is less known, and
endeavor to needlessly blacken me to a people among whom I lived without
reproach for nearly a fourth of my life, and where slanders against me are cruel
words to the hearts of my nearest kindred who have lived in your city for twenty
years.
For their sakes principally, I feel it is my painful duty to make an example of
Spectator and since I shall need to speak of myself and my affairs in doing so, let
me ask you and my readers to do me the justice to keep in mind two facts; first,
that I do not willingly write concerning myself, but of necessity imposed upon by
my traducer; and second, that the facts which I shall mention I am so little in the
habit of boasting about, that they have never been made public through the press
before, even in Sydney, although I have had abundant opportunity of so publishing
them.
This Spectator propounds his first false assertion that my work has collapsed,
when my work is going on, and in the opinion of some qualified to judge, is more
likely to be firmly established than ever. We have actually arranged for a twelve
months lease of a new hall the International in a central situation in Pitt
Street. Last Sunday I preached there to a large audience, and had what I fear
Spectator cannot appreciate, the joy of being followed to my home by enquirers,
who are asking with tears, What must I do to be saved? So far as man can judge,
many received the blessing they acknowledged to have desired. I was delighted to
find God thus signally blessing my offer of Christs salvation as a New Years gift
and I take it as a loving token of His continued approval on the work of which I
and the faithful band of Christian men and women associated with me have
engaged in for nearly two years. Eternity alone will declare the results of these two
years of unremitting and delightful work. Whilst I would not wish to overstate in

37

JOHN ALEXANDER DOWIE

A LIFE STORY OF TRIALS, TRAGEDIES AND TRIUMPHS

so solemn a matter as the conversion of souls, yet I think I should be within the
mark if I said that about 200 persons have given themselves to the Lord under my
ministry during these two years.
And now what of Spectators statement, It has been an utter failure pecuniarily.
Suppose it is truewhat then? Who claimed that it has been a pecuniary success?
Certainly I never did, for it has been a very great pecuniary loss to me. But Paul
could say the same and much more; and I am afraid that Spectator would have
been compelled to pronounce the Redeemers own ministry an utter failure
pecuniarily, as did His treasurer, Judas Iscariot, who could only make money out
of it by selling his Master for silver. That was the only pecuniary success I read of
in that Mission. If I am poorer through my ministry, I am no more disposed to
write failure upon it, and abandon it on that account, than I am to brand Paul,
John Bunyan, or John Wesley as failures because they cared more for the souls
of Christs sheep than for their golden fleeces. But it would be a shame to me were I
to allow the Mission to be branded an utter failure pecuniarily. More money has
been raised and spent upon it during the two years than was raised and spent in
actual work, apart from ministerial salary, in any church of which I know in
Sydney.
I have a shrewd suspicion that Spectator knows nothing about the matter, except
for idle gossip, for which I am a fair target, and I think that it is very probable, that,
notwithstanding even he admits we have done some good; he has been no good
pecuniarily or otherwise to our Mission. This is a fair specimen of much of the
pretended charity with which my work is regarded by many denominationalists,
whose churches are doubtless pecuniary successes, but at the same time huge
spiritual failures, offensive in their pride, laziness and worldliness, both to God
and man.
Perhaps Spectator may turn out to be a partaker of or a trader in the poisons
which the state has established by law as a traffic to destroy, and which has been
called by Robert Hall liquid fire and distilled damnation, which is an apt
description. Now all men know where I stand upon that question and that I have
contracted with the Lord to spend my life doing what I can to crush that modern
Moloch, the Liquor Traffic, which is perhaps a pecuniary success after
Spectators own heart.
Here, my dear friend, I leave Spectator for the present. With my very earnest
good wishes and prayers for you and the Christian Colonist, I am,
Yours in the Lord Jesus,
John Alexander Dowie

CHAPTER IX
DECEIVED BY A CONFIDENCE MAN

NOW comes an almost bizarre interlude in the life of Dowie, which reveals a
peculiar phase of his charactera strange capacity at times to be deceived. God
had called him to a ministry of deliverance, and whilst he felt the strong call of a
mission to the world, he was yet blind to the method that God wanted him to use
and which He had dramatically shown the young minister was the Divine plan
the setting of men free from their sins and sicknesses and diseases by the power of
God.
Many a man who has felt he had the call of the ministry upon him, has thought
that if only the money were available, he would do mighty things. Yet more often
than we would like to believe, money becomes a snare and a delusion to a minister.
A windfall is apt to cause the inexperienced to squander it in a fashion as to do
more harm than good. Money has power, but it can only be used successfully for
God, by those who have learned to be the master of money, not money the master
of them. Given a liberal sum. the inexperienced will generally set about a series of
visionary schemes, that have no origin in the Divine Will. Time after time, men
have made a shipwreck of their spiritual life, while engaged in such schemes. Yet,
with men such as George Muller, whose life was fully consecrated to God, over
seven million dollars flowed in to make possible an undertaking which stands out
in the Christian world as a shining example of wise stewardship.
It is easy to understand that Dowie, harassed as he had been for years because of
the lack of finances, and frequently embarrassed in not being able to meet the
smallest of obligations, was now desirous after these years of toil and effort, to
erect something permanent for his congregation, and incidentally prove to his
relatives that he was more than a neer-do-well, whose fortunes were sometimes
up but more times down; and, should desire and hope that a substantial sum of
money would somehow come into his hands whereby he could proceed with the
plans that he had dreamed of for so long.
Nor is it difficult to understand that when there appeared on the scene, a man by
the name of George Holding, who professed to be wealthy, and who
magnanimously gestured to give Dowie a magnificent sum of money for building a
tabernacle, the young minister should immediately conclude that this man was at
long last the answer to his prayer. This scoundrel, for so he was, a confidence man
and a mountebank, under the guise of religion and friendship, soon secured his
complete confidence. Believing that the man was honest and sincere, Dowie was so

39

JOHN ALEXANDER DOWIE

A LIFE STORY OF TRIALS, TRAGEDIES AND TRIUMPHS

elated over the prospects before him that he never suspected that his friend was a
confidence man of the deepest hue. In a letter dated September, 1880, he writes
thus to Holding:
I am glad to say that two days ago, I received your letter from Auckland, dated
August 17, and was delighted to get it, and all the dear loving words that were in it.
It was like cold water to a thirsty soul for it was good news from a far country. I
had almost given up all hope of getting it, and so it was the more welcome. I have
read it over and over again, and carry it with me in my breast pocket to reread
when I am quietly sitting somewhere outside. I thank you for the nice letterno
eye but mine has read it, as you desired; but I have read from it to Jeanie, and
when G comes tomorrow I will read part of it to her. Write freely all that is in
your heart, so far as that is possible, and I will guarantee that your letters will but
strengthen the ties which bind us to each otherties which neither earth, nor time,
nor distance, nor every evil power can weaken
Dear brother, I do feel for you in your visit there; as you stand beside your dear
ones grave I seem to be with you in spirit... I want to see your hands spread the
first communion table in our new tabernacle, which the eyes of faith often see. Last
night or rather this morning, I dreamed that I was passing a stranger in the city,
through the streets, when I came to a large well-lighted, comfortable, even
cheerful-looking building. The brilliant lights from the street lit up the whole
front... I entered the door, thrilled to my heart by these words, and saw a sight
which stirred my soul with deep emotion. The building was full tier upon tier,
the seats rose up on every side, from the platform to the farthest end of the
building. Every eye was turned toward and every ear was listening to the speaker,
who was saying, O beloved, believe me, God is love! And above the speakers
bead, on a wide beautiful scroll on the arched recess behind the platform, there
were these words in shining letters:
Christ is all. Whilst I looked, I found the speaker was myself... But it was no
dream after all. It was only my waking thoughts in our Free Christian Tabernacle.
From the above letter, it may be seen that this man Holding had wormed his way
into the deepest confidence of the young minister. In fact, the young pastors hopes
in this direction and his confidence in Holding were of such a nature that he left
his work in Sydney, and went to Adelaide in preparation for a trip to England
where he was to meet this man, with the purpose of securing the money that had
been promised for the building of his proposed tabernacle.
Of course, the entire statement of Holding that he had wealth and that he was
returning to England to settle up an estate, and would be able to give 20,000
pounds to Dowie was a hoax and a fraud, and merely a scheme to get money out of
Dowies relatives including his father. Complications and misunderstanding that

40

JOHN ALEXANDER DOWIE

A LIFE STORY OF TRIALS, TRAGEDIES AND TRIUMPHS

arose over the money, almost caused an estrangement between the young minister
and his parents. Meanwhile, others aware of the matter, their cupidity excited, and
hoping to obtain some of the money, wrote letters to Holding vilifying Dowie. On
the supposed basis of these, Holding cunningly wrote back that while he had not
lost confidence in the young minister, the letters had perplexed him. They
moreover gave the mountebank a handy excuse for stalling the fulfillment of his
worthless promises.
In a letter to his wife, Dowie disclosed the state of his emotions and the awful
discouragement and depression through which he was going.
My Darling Wife:
My whole nature seems torn asunder in this trial, and every nerve of body and soul
seems to have been separately tortured by itand these words but faintly express
what I feel and have felt. Of course, the worry of thinking about you and the
children the rentstore and other accounts was very great; but you will
remember that I was nearly 200 miles from town, and ill, and I am sure that to
move about much, too soon: for my head has been shaky and dizzy with strong
rushes of blood to my heart and brain, causing me to be very careful
But the worst was yet to come. Suspicions at last began to form in the mind of
Dowie concerning this W. G. Holding. Finally it came out. His supposed benefactor
and friend was only a clever swindler and hypocrite. Instead of heir of a million
dollars, he was a penniless adventurer and thief of widows savings. This arch-liar
and confidence man had not only deceived Dowie, but also astute business men of
England of his alleged but mythical wealth. This swindlers career had been an
extraordinary series of adventures and impostures.
The effect of Holdings heartless deception was felt by Dowie for a long time, not
only for himself but for others that he knew who had been swindled by him and
who could ill-afford to stand the loss. To a Mrs. M~ he sent the following word of
consolation:
The effect of Holdings heartless deception will be felt by you for many a day, and
my own suffering and loss through him, makes us feel all the more sympathetically
for you and your sons.
To them it is not merely a temporal loss but a spiritual danger for the hypocrisy of
the villain was one of the most powerful helpers in his nefarious diabolical
schemes. But I earnestly trust that they will look at this matter in the right light,
and see in it, not a reason for keeping their hearts from God, but an awful reason
for fleeing from sin and Satan, which, this wretched man proves, can tie a mans
soul, hand, and foot, and cast him into a living hell even on earth.

41

JOHN ALEXANDER DOWIE

A LIFE STORY OF TRIALS, TRAGEDIES AND TRIUMPHS

Much humbled by his experience, Dowie had not seen the last of this bold
impersonator and rogue. Some years later, whom should he meet but this same W.
G. Holding, dressed in a Salvation Army uniform, selling all sorts of things, with
radiant smiles and coaxing words, to admiring customers at the trade tent of the
Salvation Army at their annual Demonstration on the South Melbourne Cricket
Ground. Dowie describes their meeting:
What a change! Smiles vanished, and fear and guilt and shame chased each other
over his ash-colored face. A few minutes served to make his real character so clear
that he was at once removed from the trade tent, and dismissed from the ground. I
advised him to get away by sea, as quickly as possible, failing which he would
certainly be arrested; and I spoke earnestly to him in urging him to abandon his
miserable course of deceit, and seek Gods mercy. And so we parted on Friday
New Years Day.
The mountebank vanished, but evidently God was dealing with him. It is to John
Alexander Dowies credit, that he should have taken the time to have spoken about
God and repentance, to one who had been the source of so much sorrow,
heartache, and embarrassment. Strangely enough, the man did not leave the
country but two or three days later, came to Dowies house, looking the picture of
misery and unhappiness. The words of the minister had indeed taken affect, and
he said, I cant go awayI want to make a full confession to you, and give myself
to the police, or do whatever you tell me to do.
There were some witnesses present and after some consideration, Dowie took
down, with many cross-questionings a most extraordinary story of crimes
beginning in 1877, a minute detail of a band of thirteen clever associates. These
swindlers had offices in New York, Paris, and London and many other cities. By
the means of forged documents and fraudulent correspondence they developed all
sorts of skillful schemes for swindling. There were insurance swindles in which
stones and packing took the place of the supposed corpse. Holding managed
through impersonations and frauds to get on familiar terms of friendship with a
large circle of persons of wealth and social position in various parts of England.
Holding returned to Dowies house two days later, and by arrangement gave
himself to police, and made a formal confession of his crimes. Strangely enough,
because, at the time there was no Federation between the provinces, the courts in
that part of Australia had no jurisdiction over the matter. It required a very
complicated legal procedure to take him to the province where his crimes in
Australia had been committed, and would have entailed considerable expense and
time on Dowies part. The latter, viewing these circumstances, and hoping that the
mans penitence was genuine, declined to go to New South Wales and initiate
proceedings afresh there. Poor Dowie! The word had gone around that he had

42

JOHN ALEXANDER DOWIE

actually received the $100,000 from Holding to build a church, but had not done
so nor accounted for the money!

CHAPTER X

THE HOUR OF DESPAIR

THE year 1882 was indeed a dark one for John Alexander Dowie. He had now
been in the ministry for about ten years. During that time, he had labored hard,
often to the point of physical exhaustion. Many painful sacrifices had been made.
He had always tried to do right as he saw it, more often than not to the
disadvantage of his own personal interests. Yet failure and misfortune seemed to
have followed him in every venture he attempted.
He had successively resigned three pastorates, when it seemed to him that the
results that he had hoped for, were not being realized. True, he had enjoyed a
certain success at Newtown, yet it was in that very community that circumstances
came to his notice convincing him that the denomination he represented had
become largely lukewarm and apostate, and for which reason he decided to sever
all ties with that organization.
His subsequent hopes of building a tabernacle and establishing a church in
Sydney, had not materialized. As related previously, he had gone through the
agony of a bitter disillusionment. Once his hopes had been built so high, only to
have them utterly blasted, when he learned that the man, George Holding, in
whom he had reposed such complete confidence, was an arch-swindler and a
penniless adventurer. For this wretched betrayer of his faith and confidence, he
had broken up his home, and left his pulpit in Sydney. Now, he was the laughing
stock of those who said, I told you so. More bitter still, some who did not know
the real truth of the matter, believed the rumors that had been afloat by certain of
his enemies, who maliciously charged that he had actually received the 20,000
pounds to build a tabernacle, but had misappropriated the money for his own use.
Then too, while in Sydney, he had staked much on winning the election for a seat
in Parliament, and failing, he had lost many of his friends, who, unceremoniously,
had left him to pay off heavy debts that had been incurred. The Holding fiasco,
which occurred afterwards, had so embarrassed him that it seemed unwise to
return to Sydney.
Dowies relatives had long lost confidence in him, and their opinion had not
changed as successive reports reached them of the invariable failure of his various
undertakings. Beyond all this, inability at times to adequately provide for his wife
and family was his most painful and humiliating experience, and it seemed to him
more than be could bear.

44

JOHN ALEXANDER DOWIE

A LIFE STORY OF TRIALS, TRAGEDIES AND TRIUMPHS

All these things, and his tendency to brood over them, had affected his health.
Being high-spirited, the continuous succession of reverses and failures had almost
crushed him and this no doubt accounted for the serious condition of his nerves.
Church doors, of course, were closed against him, and all immediate sources of
income were cut off. Sometimes he had nothing to eat. Who could have blamed the
young minister for believing that everything was against him? His feelings which
had almost reached a state of despair, may be understood in a letter written to his
wife from the Victoria Coffee House, and dated March 28, 1882:
BELOVED WIFE:
It is hard and bitter for me to have to write to you today, but it would have been
impossible for me to write you two days ago.
Once more, I have to write you the discouraging word failed. But I live and God
lives, and it cannot be that the night will long endure, and that one who strives to
do His will shall always fail.
I will try again in another directionindeed, I am already at it, and will hope on
through the darkness, although for one long night I almost doubted thatonly for
this comfort I would die, and I have seemed to be near dying many times. It is and
has been hard to bear; and my feet were almost gone into ways of doubt, and fear,
and sin and death: for that is the way of the backslider and the forsaker of his Lord.
But He kept me
The liquor traffic is becoming daily stronger; the laws which have been passed to
restrain it, are openly defied. Vice, crime, disease, and pauperism are increasing in
most alarming proportions. Oh, the sad, heartrending scenes that I have seen!
They would wring your heart and horrify your soul. Yet the scenes are but the story
of ten thousand homes.
Oh, it has been a weary time for me, since last I saw your face. Alone and in this
great, cold city, I have spent some of the most sorrowful hours of my life. Anxiety
concerning you and my dear ones, who are so near my heart; fears for the future of
this uncertain life; doubts as to the past; questioning, as to why God was
permitting these fiery trials; strugglings with the dire realities of the present with
its poverty, weakness, my growing shabbiness, and ofttimes positive hungerall
these and more, all these have been my companions day and night for months. Do
you remember the date when I had 6d left to face the week with? It is more than a
fortnight ago I think. Well, when it was spent, I did not have a penny until
yesterday. I made up my mind that I would die, rather than ask Mr. D or any one
for money help again, and I just lived upon what I ate at the house of Dr. T when
he invited me there, and at that of Mr. C, a Christian bookseller with whom I am
well acquainted. I did not average one meal a day until yesterday, and sometimes I

45

JOHN ALEXANDER DOWIE

A LIFE STORY OF TRIALS, TRAGEDIES AND TRIUMPHS

have gone forty-eight hours without breaking my fast... I am a good deal thinner,
and a little paler, and there are a few more grey hairs in my bead, but this is no
doubt due to my fasting, added to my sad thoughts and disappointments.
Despite these sad lines, the letter of a husband to his wife does not end in despair,
but strikes a note of faith. His spirit is not utterly broken, only subdued, and he
encourages his wife to believe and live close to the Lord.
Perhaps we may he nearer the midnight than we have hitherto believed and it
may well be soon that we hear the cry at midnight, Go ye out to meet Him! Let us
be ready. Let us keep our light burning, our lives shining for the Lord, and filled
with the fullness of Gods Spirit. . . Oh, it is terrible to think of the long night, the
darkness, the sighing and gnashing of teeth, the company of the damned who have
sat down not having on the wedding garment, and to think that many of our
friends will be bound hand and foot and cast out there.
God knows me, and He knows (despite many shortcomings and mistakes and sins
which he has pardoned) that I am true to the service of my Lord and Saviour, and
true in my love to every soul of man, for every one of which He tasted death.
Be of good cheer: for the morning is coming of endless day. I do not fear to live:
for life can have no bitterer cups in store or if there are, then His love will sweeten
them, since I can now trust Him more fully than ever, and can say, I am persuaded
that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers nor things
present, nor things to come, nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be
able to separate me from the love of God: which is in Christ Jesus our Lord...
And now I close. The night is far spent, and I am getting tired. Pray for me with
increasing faith. Faint not at my tribulations. God will show you yet it is your
glory. The Lord ever bless and keep you..
There was more in the letter, and we would like to have included, especially his
touching inquiry concerning his children, but space forbids.
The John Alexander Dowie we see at this period is hardly recognizable as the
Dowie that was to arise a decade later. But God had a plan. though it was difficult
indeed for the almost despairing young man to understand it then. It is difficult for
anyone to realize in the hour of trial and disappointment that God has a purpose in
it all. Nor could John Alexander Dowie see that God was teaching him certain
necessary lessons, incident to preparing him for a place of leadership in a great
work that lay ahead. Yet, he was thinking, praying, hoping, and perhaps very
faintly beginning to sense the pattern of the ministry for which God had been
getting him ready.

46

JOHN ALEXANDER DOWIE

A LIFE STORY OF TRIALS, TRAGEDIES AND TRIUMPHS

His bodily afflictions naturally caused him to think along the lines of Divine
healing. In all his misfortunes and trials he could not help but remember that
shining instance of faith when he had truly triumphed when the awful plague
had come and had smitten the population, and indeed, had wiped out whole
families in his church, insomuch that in a few weeks time, he had buried no less
than forty people from the families within his parish. At that time there had come
to him the revelation that Christ was the Healer, and Satan was the Defiler, the
author of sickness and disease. With the inspiration that had fired his soul, he met
the enemy and defeated him, and as has been related elsewhere, there were no
more deaths among his people during the period of pestilence.
As God had shown to John Alexander Dowie the reality of Divine healing, so God
was preparing to reintroduce to the church this ministry of deliverance, which He,
many centuries before had ordained in the Great Commission, and from which,
alas, the church had so sadly departed. Since the time of the plague, young Dowie
had prayed for the sick, yet he was not then prepared to enter, fully, into that
ministry, but regarded it more or less as a special ministry that God had given
during a time of emergency. And so for six years, the young man continued to
follow the more familiar paths and methods of religious reformers. From his
pulpit, and in the open air, he thundered against sin, crusaded against the liquor
traffic and the other vices of the day, seeking to effect these reforms by various
means including intervention in politics. But despite his most zealous efforts, long
continued sacrifice and self-denial, he did not appear to be getting anywhere.
Indeed it seemed that he was frustrated on every hand, and Providence itself was
conspiring to keep him from making progress toward his goal. Was there no end,
the young man asked himself, to these disappointments and trials?
As if Providence, in irony sought to answer his question, a fresh sorrow, far
exceeding all that he had yet experienced, was about to visit the little household.
As happened to Gods servant, Job, the shadow of death was to reach into his
home. Dr. Dowie had always possessed a deep affection for children, and he
adored his little daughter, Jeanie, who was born a year or two after Gladstone. She
was a sweet child, always ready to smile. But the little girl had never been strong,
and consequently was an object of anxiety to her parents because of her frail
condition. However, they did not suppose that they had cause for actual alarm, and
hoped with the passing years that she would become normal in strength. But the
angel of death was nearer than they thought. One day, after a week or two of illness
of the child, the dread messenger entered the home and took away little Jeanie. A
few days later, heart-broken parents, their heads bowed in grief, laid away their
darling in a grave in a nearby cemetery. A letter written to a friend a few days after
this event gives the details of the sad incident which had come upon the family so
suddenly and unexpectedly:

47

JOHN ALEXANDER DOWIE

A LIFE STORY OF TRIALS, TRAGEDIES AND TRIUMPHS

BELOVED FRIEND:
Again I have stood over the open grave, and laid aside the earthly garments of my
little Angel, whose spirit quietly stole away just as the day was dawning on Lords
Day morning last. I can scarcely realize it yet: for it was so sudden and unexpected;
but I bow, with my dear wife, in resignation, though in grief.
When we returned this day a week from Sydney, we found Gladdy almost entirely
recovered, and our two little daughters apparently wellour little Jeaniethe
Angelbeing especially delighted to see us, clasping us around the neck and
kissing us again and again. The following day, Friday, she was toddling about the
house, stronger, as we thought, than ever we had seen her, and our hearts were
glad to look upon her sweet, pure face and happy smile. That evening, however, we
noticed one or two little spots which looked like measles on her face, and the
following day, Saturday, she slept a good dealit was a very hot day.
In the evening she seemed very bright, and when I came in to tea, I found her
sitting on our maids lap being fed. I lit the gas in the dining room, as it was getting
dark, and when I did so she laughed and clapped her little hands together.
I said, You dear little Angel. Father is so glad to see you happy and bright, upon
which she looked up into Etties face and smiled. We then sat down to tea and had
scarcely commenced, when Mrs. Dowie, who was sitting near her, said, Come
here, John, and look at Jeanies eyes. I immediately went over and saw she was
insensible and in a fit. I took her up at once, and besought the Lord again for her
that the fit might cease; and it seemed almost as if a voice replied, Yes, the fit will
cease; but the Lord will take her now.
I then called Mrs. Dowie, and told her of the answer, and shortly after, the fit did
cease, and our little pet lay utterly exhausted. To avoid an inquest, I sent for a
neighboring doctor, who took the same view as myself, namely, that there was an
effusion of the brain, and no hope of her recovery. From that hour she slept,
opening her eyes at intervals in response to our loving words, and at times
breathing heavily, but entirely without pain. About four oclock on Lords Day
morning, the end came, and, opening her eyes wide, she looked, oh, so beautifully,
upon the faces of the unseen angels, and, without a sigh, her sweet spirit went
away with them to dwell forever with the Lord. The daylight saw only a beautiful,
white, marble-like form lying with closed eyes, and hands gently folded on her
breast, and a look of holy peace upon her little face, which looked so calm, with the
dark hair parted from her placid broad brow. Ere the Sabbath songs of earth
swelled from shore to shore, she was singing above in the presence of the King,
where there is no night, but one endless day.

48

Earth has one angel less, but heaven one more, since last Lords Day. Our home
has lost its purest, holiest child - our hearts are torn and bleeding light has gone,
in some degree, from everything aroundbut heaven is nearer, Christ is nearer,
and our darling has gone where we shall meet her there, with all our loved ones
gone before, and never, never part again. We know where to find her, and although
we weep, we rejoice: for it is well with the child.

CHAPTER XI

BEGINNING OF THE DAWN

SAVE one, 1882 was the darkest year of Dowies life. But it was also the year in
which light began to dawn. It was during those days that John Alexander Dowie at
last began to realize something of the nature of the ministry that was to be his. But
that realization came to him only as God shut him off from everything else.
Financially, he was well-nigh destitute. Only the Salvation Army, a struggling little
band, welcomed him, but there was little they could do for him. They needed help
themselves.
At this time, providentially, there came a call from Collingwood Tabernacle for him
to be pastor pro tern, during the absence of the Rev. Cherbury, who was taking an
extended rest because of physical exhaustion. In Dowies destitute circumstances,
if ever there would have been a temptation for him to have walked softly and not to
have endangered his precarious financial circumstances, surely this was the time.
But it is evident that such factors never exercised the slightest influence on John
Alexander Dowies course of action. He was soon to discover the lax spiritual
condition that had gained ascendancy in the church. Unconverted temperance
lecturers were permitted use of the pulpit and spiritual life had fallen to low ebb.
When young Dowie became acquainted with the situation, he dealt sharply with
the state of affairs, although he well knew that the church officers were not likely to
be in sympathy with his uncompromising stand against sin and worldliness. He
soon incurred the ill-will and hostility of the board, although many of the people of
the church sympathized with him in his fight against evil. At any rate, during the
period be served this congregation, he maintained a standard of righteousness in
the church. However, with the return of Rev. Cherbury, he immediately retired
from the pulpit.
Dr. Dowie entertained plans for the building of an independent church in the city
of Melbourne. And of great significance to the future of his ministry, he
determined that in that church, he would introduce and regularly practice the
ministry of Divine healing. The fact was that God had been dealing with him a long
time in this matter, and now there was a deep conviction in his soul that this
ministry must become an important feature of the work in the tabernacle that he
contemplated. We shall not take time nor space to relate the circumstances
involved in the building of the tabernacle. Suffice it to say, that the devil fought
him in every possible way to prevent his launching into this ministry. Friends
failed him, promises were broken, plans miscarried, but step by step, God opened

50

JOHN ALEXANDER DOWIE

A LIFE STORY OF TRIALS, TRAGEDIES AND TRIUMPHS

the way, and the tabernacle was built and the ministry of healing that eventually
was to carry him to world prominence was inaugurated. In the month of February,
1883, Dr. Dowie organized the Free Christian Church, and in the year, 1884, the
tabernacle was completed. From then on, each year in February, he conducted a
convention in which he commemorated the beginning of his ministry of Divine
healing.
The ministry of healing gave him authority that he never had before. Despite fierce
opposition, John Alexander Dowie soon perceived that his work was having a
phenomenal growth. Where before Satan by some method or other had managed
to frustrate his plans, or bring them entirely to naught, he now saw that despite the
devils fiercest onslaughts, nothing could stay the progress of the work. Moreover,
he clearly saw that it was the miracles of healing that were responsible for this.
One Of The First Miracles
We cannot relate here the many wonderful deliverances that were taking place in
the Melbourne Tabernacle, but we should mention one of the first healingsthe
miraculous deliverance of Mrs. Lucy Parker, of total blindness caused by cancer of
the eye. For two years and nine months, she had been under the care of some of
the most capable surgeons of Melbourne. The cancer in the eye had destroyed the
sight, and for many months the left eye was totally blind. No hopes of recovery
were held out.
Mrs. Parker was about to give birth to a child, and the physician in attendance, a
Dr. Ray, informed her husband that she would die when the child was born, if not
before. The agony she suffered was extreme, and being comparatively young, with
a large family and a delicate husband, she had an intense desire to live. Moreover,
being an active Christian worker, she desired to be useful in God s service. About
this time, she heard of a remarkable healing that had taken place in the Melbourne
Tabernacle, and she came to Dr. Dowie expecting healing. He laid hands upon her
and prayed. The miracle happened at once. The cancer burst and discharged into
two handkerchiefs. The swelling disappeared and the opening closed. When she
opened that eye, she was immediately able to see, and that perfectly.
The internal cancer disappeared, and a few months later she became the happy
mother of a healthy child. This case of healing was published far and wide in many
newspapers, and was never challenged. It was miracles of this nature that caused
Dr. Dowies work to achieve rapid prominence in Australia.
At another time, a boy lay in a pitiful condition in the Alfred Hospital. He was
suffering from tuberculosis of the bones, and could not walk. The lad was
emaciated, and although sixteen years of age, had to be carried from place to place.
He was given one of Dr. Dowies tracts and having read it, gave his parents no

51

JOHN ALEXANDER DOWIE

A LIFE STORY OF TRIALS, TRAGEDIES AND TRIUMPHS

peace until they carried him to the tabernacle. They told Dr. Dowie that the boy
expected to be healed tonight. After talking with the lad, and leading him to
Christ, Dr. Dowie prayed for him, told him to get up, and take his two feet and
stamp the floor. He did this and then began to cry, Oh, praise God, Im healed, I
am healed!
The mother, a poor, worn and weary little woman, with her little child in her arms,
rose up and cried with joy, Oh, Arthur, are you healed? My boy, are you healed?
And he answered, Yes, mother, I am healed. He started to walk and then said, I
believe I can run, and with that, he began to run around the aisles of the building.
The boy returned to the hospital and testified to what the Lord had done for him.
Soon many of the boys from the hospital suffering from many kinds of afflictions
came to the meetings and were wonderfully healed.

CHAPTER XII

VENGEANCE OF THE LIQUOR INTERESTS

AT last Dr. Dowie was engaged in the ministry that he knew God had intended for
him. He boldly proclaimed the gospel of healing in his own tabernacle and in open
air meetings, where on at least one occasion, he preached to an audience of as
many as 20,000 persons. At the same time, he vigorously denounced the use of
liquor and other popular vices of the city, demanding that men turn to Christ and
renounce their sins. This, of course, angered the vested liquor interests, and they
laid plans to bring to a halt the ministry of this upstart who was so presumptious
as to cross them. At their instigation, a so-called by-law was passed, forbidding
street meetings. Dr. Dowie believed that such a law was not only an infringement
of the command of the Lord Jesus to preach the Gospel to every creature, but that
it was also unconstitutional. He thereby continued to conduct street meetings,
regardless of the by-law, and forthwith was arrested and hailed before the Fitzroy
Police Court.
Before the case was tried, the oldest magistrate, Mr. Marsden, stated that he
believed that the by-law was unconstitutional to fundamental British principles of
civil and religious liberty. The prosecutor permitted him to withdraw from the
case. The remaining magistrates that sat on the case were patently hostile to the
young preacher. With some reluctance, they permitted Dr. Dowie to plead his own
case. He proceeded and showed that he was acting in obedience to the distinct
command of the Lord in Mark 16, that he had conducted the meeting in an orderly
way, that he had done so in that city for the past two years, and had taken part in
similar work in many parts of Great Britain and the Australian Colonies.
However, Dowie perceived that the justices were taking little or no note of what he
was saying. One of them, in an angry manner, blurted out that he had broken the
law, and must be punished, and the other magistrates were ready to concur with
their colleague. So without opportunity to present his case, he was summarily fined
five pounds and costs. Dowie gave notice that he would appeal. Refusing to pay the
fine, he was placed in jail where he suffered imprisonment for thirty days and
nights.
Years later, Dr. Dowie related further details of this incident, which we here
present:

53

JOHN ALEXANDER DOWIE

A LIFE STORY OF TRIALS, TRAGEDIES AND TRIUMPHS

GOING TO PRISON FOR OBEYING GOD

There came a time when the Liquor Ring got the upper hand in Fitzroy,
Melbourne; they passed a municipal by-law that we should not be allowed to go
upon the streets and sing, and also tried to hinder our workers from going into the
saloons, and bringing those who visited them, out. I said, If you pass that by-law I
cannot obey it; I must obey my Lord, Who said, Go ye out quickly into the streets
and lanes of the city, and bring in hither the poor, and the maimed, and the halt,
and the blind. Luke 14:21. They threatened, If you persist in doing so, youll go to
prison, sir. They fined me; I would not pay the fine; I sold every stick I had on
earth; they fined me again, and threatened they would send me to prison. I said,
Very well. The day came for trial and I stood before the court; I gave my reasons
for my course. The law of God and the law of England were in my favor, but there
was a corrupt petty court judiciary; and the infidels had gotten hold of the
Supreme Court.
We had been doing this work of seeking the perishing for years; and do you think I
was going back one single step? No, the Salvation, Divine Healing and Gospel
Temperance work went on all the time. They said, Why, a gentleman in your
position should not go to prison. I said, I shall pay no fines. I will not give up our
street work, I will obey God first, and man next. They hated me; but it was
without a cause, unless it was that I had by the grace of God brought thousands out
of the dark pit of intemperance. I have worked against the saloon all my life. They
hated me. They said, We obey man first and God after. I said, Let it be recorded
that this is your position; that is the position a godless man would take.
You are sent to prison for thirty days, was the sentence. I had my valise packed
and I stepped into a cab and went up to the Melbourne jail. For thirty days and
thirty nights I lay in a stone cell ten feet long, eight feet high, and four and a half
feet wide. It was winter, and the nights were dark and cold. I was in that cell
sixteen hours out of the twenty-four. I would not accept my liberation except they
would set me free without terms. My people followed me to prison; seven strong
men left their several homes and went to prison for Christ. Over five hundred men
and women stood up in our Tabernacle prepared to follow us there for His sake. I
came out and I went on as before, and they sent me to prison again. But I had not
been there two days before the whole country had been aroused, and a great
pressure was brought upon the Governor, Sir Henry B. Loch, and he said, I am
ashamed; I shall exercise her Majesty the Queens royal prerogative. He
telephoned at last down to the governor of the jail that I should be set free
instantly, and I walked out of prison. (Praise the Lord, from the congregation.)
My companions, beloved brethren in Christ, followed. Many thousands flocked to
hear our preaching when we came out of that prison, and many were saved.

Released from prison, Dr. Dowies work continued to grow and prosper in
Melbourne. The anger of the rebuffed liquor interests was what might be expected
of frustrated men who were enemies of all that is good. Moreover, to their further
dismay, they perceived that as a result of the publicity he received while in prison,
his work, instead of receiving a check, was progressing by leaps and bounds, and
crowds were attending his tabernacle in such numbers that the facilities available
were not sufficient to take care of them. Dr. Dowie, ever alert for an opportunity to
strike a telling blow against the liquor industry, now continued his attack against
the saloon, denouncing it in vigorous terms as the vilest institution this side of
perdition.
His enemies exasperated beyond measure by the turn of affairs, and now
powerless to stop him by legal methods, determined to employ desperate means,
which this time they believed would forever end the activities of their tormentor.
Secret plans were laid to dynamite the tabernacle at a late hour when most of the
people would be gone from it, but while Dr. Dowie as was his custom, yet remained
to work with his secretary. The conspirators determined exactly what time they
might expect him and his secretary to be alone in the building. On a fateful night
while the services were in progress, they surreptitiously entered his office from the
rear and placed a box of dynamite near the chair where he would be sitting. All was
arranged with diabolical cleverness and the timing of the bomb was set with
precision.
As had been anticipated, that night after the service Dr. Dowie went into his study,
sat down with his secretary, preparing as usual to work until a late hour. Minute by
minute, hidden from view, a menacing glow crept ever nearer to the infernal
contraption located only a few feet from where sat Dr. Dowie, serenely unaware of
the horrible death-trap that had been prepared to take his life. Apparently no
earthly power could now prevent the cruel murder of the man of God. But we shall
let him tell the story of this dramatic incident:
BOMBING OF THE TABERNACLE
On the morning of September 1, 1886, I was asleep in my bed, and at a very early
hour, just at the dawn of the morning, I was awakened. Now that is a continual
thing with me to be awakened at dawn. No matter when I go to bed, I will always
wake when it is sunrise, even although I go to sleep again, should I not want to
rise.
I had been very profoundly asleep, and everything was quiet around. Suddenly I
was out of the body. That is no unusual experience. But suddenly I saw the bed on
which I was lyingI saw on it a human form. It was a dead body. I lifted the sheet
and saw my own facedead.

55

JOHN ALEXANDER DOWIE

A LIFE STORY OF TRIALS, TRAGEDIES AND TRIUMPHS

Immediately, I came to consciousness, and found myself lying in the bed; it was
only a vision. I chided myself for having overworked, and said: Now you see what
strange fancies will come to a man that overworks. And I asked God to forgive me
for I had overworked. I looked at my watch, and went to sleep again, very soundly.
Presently, I was again out of the body. I again saw the bed, and the white sheet
covering the form. I lifted the sheet; it was my own face. I said, Now, there is
another trick of my mind, and this is all nonsense. I chided myself again and went
to sleep. I had evidently slept, very deeply, because it was much later when I awoke
for the second time. I again looked at my watch and found that I had been sleeping
for over an hour. Then a third time, I saw the vision, lifted the sheet, and again saw
my own face. I knew then that I was going to be killed, or die suddenly, or that my
life was in danger.
I took a bath, then went to the study, wrote out the incident, and put it into my
bureau in case anything happened. I also wrote a short will; during the day I had it
witnessed, and put it with a statement concerning my vision in case anything
happened.
During the morning a gentleman, who was a good Christian preacher, came to me
and said: I had a vision last night that you had been killed, Doctor. I want you to
take care of yourself and to insure your life. He told me about a vision, and it was
different than mine, but a vision in which he dreamed my body was dreadfully
mangled. Then I thought, God has sent this additional confirmation. I told him the
story of my vision, and I told my wife.
That night, I delivered a long discourse and had a great many signatures to the
Christian Temperance pledge. A great many persons gave up drink that night, and
I had to meet with candidates afterwards. There were many going to join the
church that month, and I was to see a group of them that night. The church
meeting was to be on Thursday; this was Tuesday. Suddenly I saw the candidates
gather, some twenty or thirty of them, I do not know exactly how many. I went to
my door and said to them: Would you be able to come night, Wednesday, just as
well? They replied that it would be quite convenient. So I said good night to them
and went away.
I took the church secretary and went to my room. It was behind the tabernacle,
and the window looked upon a back lane. I went down, and took my valise, took
out my papers, and began to dictate to my secretary. Meanwhile, all the lights had
been put out in the large tabernacle.
As I sat there dictating to the secretary, I was stopped. I looked at him. Did you
hear anything, George? No. Then I did. I heard a voice say, Rise, Go! and I
thought it was my imagination playing a trick on me. I had been trying to forget

56

JOHN ALEXANDER DOWIE

A LIFE STORY OF TRIALS, TRAGEDIES AND TRIUMPHS

the vision of the morning, thinking it might not be of God. Nothing happened
during the day, and I was in very good health. Everything was very still. I went on
with my dictation, and had uttered the first word, when in tones most impressive
and acute the voice came: Rise! Go!
I turned to my secretary and asked, Did you hear a voice? He looked at me with a
smile. No, why? he asked. Then it is all right. I thought I heard a voice. I started
again, and had only gotten a word out, when it was just like thunder in my ears.
Rise! Go!
It was imperative. I said to my secretary, Go up to the meter, George, turn out the
gas, and we will finish this work at home. I will obey that heavenly voice.
I would not stay any longer. I quietly put the things in my valise. When he came
back, he helped me on with my overcoat. It was a dark winter night, not a star to be
seen in the sky, and there had been some rain. I let myself out the back way, and
went to my home, about six or seven minutes walk away.
Our house was a stone house, and I was in an inner room. All had gone to bed, and
I was with my secretary dictating, when I thought I heard a thud, a strange thud,
outside, as if there were an explosion. I asked, George, did you hear a noise? He
said, What do you mean? I told him that I thought I had heard a noise like an
explosion.
Why, he said, I do not think there was any such thing. I did hear a little noise,
but I thought it must be a door shutting.
But a thud had happened. Dynamite bad been placed underneath my feet; it had
been attached to a fuse up the back lane, and it exploded in the tabernacle within
about ten minutes after I had left. It had been placed upon an iron plate
underneath my desk. They had known exactly where I would be sitting. The fuse
burnt slowly, otherwise I should have been killed. But that voice was imperative,
and I had gotten away in time. That whole part of town had awakened, and people
ran out to see what had happened. The police thought the tabernacle was being set
on fire, but there was no sign of fire. It was a very dark night and the people did
not know where the explosion had been.
There was no flame; nothing had caught fire, and everything settled down. In the
morning I came somewhat early, and tried to get in at the back gate. I saw, to my
astonishment, that the side of my room was blown out, and I found that pieces of
weatherboards had been driven into the fence, and right through it. I could not
open the gate which was broken off its hinges. I went around to the front door,
opened it, passed through the tabernacle, and could not open any of the doors of
my room, though there were three doors to it.

57

At last I pushed violently, and the door fell in. It was off its hinges. Then I saw the
scene of confusionall my chairs broken, and where I sat would have been the
place of my murder; for there was a great big hole, and the flooring boards had
been broken up into countless splinters.
Those words, Rise! Go! were the words of an angel. I have not the slightest doubt
in the world about it.
The life of John Alexander Dowie was filled with many such strange providences
and coincidences. Often there was but a step between him and death. The incident
of the bombing of the tabernacle was but one of these. Once, some time before,
while in Sydney, he was crossing a railroad track about five miles from town, alone
on a dark night. He was hurrying to the station to catch an approaching train, the
rumble of which he could hear in the distance. Suddenly he stumbled and fell on
his face and lay on a rail over which the oncoming train was to pass. For a few
seconds he lost consciousness or nearly so; but remembering his peril, he managed
to roll off in some way, and rose to his feet. In less than a minute the train dashed
up to the station which was nearby. Dr. Dowie got to the station just as the train
did. He was bleeding profusely from a deep cut, but he bound the wound up as best
he could with a handkerchief. When he got to Sydney, he was quite faint, but
taking a cab, be got to his home safely. He believed that it was a providential
escape for had be remained unconscious two minutes, he would no doubt have
been cut to pieces by the train.
Strange as these experiences were, the most dramatic and astonishing events of
Dr. Dowies life were yet to come, and as they unfolded in the swiftly passing years,
events in Australia were to be almost forgotten before the amazing developments
that were to transpire in this mans ministry in America, a land which he was soon
to visit.

CHAPTER XIII

DOWIE LEAVES AUSTRALIA FOR AMERICA

IN the summer of 1886, Dr. Dowie, in writing to his wife, tells of certain deeper
spiritual experiences that he had received. From the time that he had begun
preaching the ministry of deliverance, he had been amazingly blessed both
spiritually and physically. There came a revealing of the power of the Spirit, which
gave him new light on the mystery of life in Christ. With empowering of the
Spirit, there came a gift of discerning of spirits, which, he wrote, enabled him to
penetrate into the deepest, most secret thoughts of men. During those days he
slept only four hours out of twenty-four; but he was not only well, but stronger
than in any former period of his life.
It was at this time that Dowie perceived that the preparatory period of his ministry
had passed, and he was now on the fringes of something new and wonderful. His
own spirit rose to the challenge, and his vision of reaching the masses for Christ, a
dream he had cherished for many years, now seemed to have more than a remote
possibility of fulfillment. It was his conviction that a great revival of primitive
Christianity could only come through the ministry of healing. It was this ministry,
be realized, that had endowed him with authority to challenge the high walls of
hide-bound ecclesiasticism, and also, as he happily discovered, gave him the
willing ear of the masses.
God had given John Alexander Dowie a great open door in Melbourne, yet he was
already beginning to feel the call to wider horizons. For a long time he had hoped
to make a tour of America, and from there to go on to London. But he had realized
that his work was not finished in Australia. It was during this time that he founded
The International Divine Healing Association which soon had a number of
branches in various parts of Australia and New Zealand.
While at Melbourne he received an invitation to attend an International
Conference on Divine Healing and True Holiness, to be held in London, England.
Dr. Dowie prayed earnestly concerning this invitation and he longed to go, but
being in the midst of work that he could not easily lay aside at the time, be found it
necessary to postpone his visit. In a letter which be wrote to Dr. Boardman,
president of the British Association, he declared that within three years, he
intended to make a trip to America, and then, God willing, to go on to London. The
night that he wrote the letter, his spirit was greatly stirred within him, and walking
out under the stars, he asked God if he had made a mistake in making such a

59

JOHN ALEXANDER DOWIE

promise. Dr. Dowie, in moving words, describes his experience that night in
Australia as he communed with God under the canopy of the heavens:
Looking up again, my heart was awed, my spirit stirred with the solemn beauty of
the night. The Southern Cross hung low in the sky. At its foot was the blackest
place in all the heavens, like a rent, without a star. As I looked into it, the misery,
shame and horror of sin and disease and death and hell seemed to be buried there,
at the foot of the Cross. But whilst I continued to gaze, its darkness, its stillness
appalled me.
Then suddenly, the earth seemed to be vocal. I could hear the wail of pain and the
cries of the dying, rising from all continents, swelling up from all the cities and
hamlets and villages and solitudes, from ten thousand times ten thousand homes
where babes in mothers arms, and children, lay dying, breaking loving hearts. Oh,
how can I tell it? I could hear the cry of the suffering coming up from all the earth,
from the millions of beds of weary pain, crying, Oh, Lord, how long, bow long?
and my heart was broken. I wept bitterly and threw myself down in an agony. Was
there no help?
After a time I arose and looked up again. Now I saw that the Cross was pointing to
the Milky Way, that glorious ladder of light, which spans our Southern Sky, where
galaxy after galaxy of starry glory led upward to the sweet Pleiades, the Seven
Sisters, where some say is the center of all things, around which all suns and
systems revolve. Be that as it may, as I looked, the sweet influences of the Pleiades
of which Job sings, stole over me. I thought perhaps the Throne of God is there;
but the pathway to it is from the Cross.
And as I looked I knew that I, too, had to carry the Cross of Christ from land to
land, and bid a sin-stricken and disease-smitten world to see that the Christ Who
died on Calvary had made ATONEMENT FOR SICKNESS AS WELL AS FOR SIN,
AND THAT WITH HIS STRIPES WE ARE HEALED. I knew that I would never
reach the abode of peace except by taking up that Cross and following Him in a life
of still more complete denial of self.
And so the comfort of that peace came to my broken heart that night; and
although the cry of the sorrowing and the dying is ever with me, and again and
again breaks my heart yea, a thousand times. yet I have learned that it is only a
man with a broken heart that can carry on this ministry. A broken heart that feels
the weight of human sorrow, sin and sickness. I can smile. I laugh. Yet were I to try
to speak as I feel, I think I would never speak at all. But God sends joy, and His joy
is my strength.
But the night passed, and as I entered my Australian home in the first hour of the
glorious light of day, the stars faded out of the sky, the lesson that I had learned

60

JOHN ALEXANDER DOWIE

A LIFE STORY OF TRIALS, TRAGEDIES AND TRIUMPHS

was with me, and I knew that it was right to leave that lovely Australian land, and
go forth on a pilgrimage carrying leaves of healing from the Tree of Life to every
nation I could reach.
Late in the year 1887, Dr. Dowie resolved that in the spring, be would begin such a
tour, intending to stop for a few weeks in New Zealand and then to sail for San
Francisco, California. Dr. Dowie has left us a vivid account of his final days in
Australia and his parting from the church in Melbourne:
It seems fitting that this record of our present and future work should have, for a
link with our past work for the Lord, some account of the closing scenes of our
nearly sixteen years of ministry in Australia. Therefore I will refer to our farewell
meetings in THE FREE CHRISTIAN TABERNACLE in Fitzroy, Melbourne. It was
no little grief to part from the dear people whose love and loyalty to me had stood
the severest tests which Satan could devise. But their love to God stood the strain
of my resignation in November, 1887, although they requested that I should not
retire for three months. Accordingly, I yielded to their wish, and my resignation,
although accepted, was arranged not to take effect until February 19, 1888, on
which date I announced I would preach my farewell sermons.
The last few days were largely spent in all the many duties and toils inseparable
from the private affairs of this life, in disposing of our few worldly goods, in doing
things honestly in the sight of men, and in preparing our little pilgrim band of five
for our long journeys and voyages. I may be permitted here to say that our two
little ones accompanied us on our travels, my son aged 11 years, and my daughter
aged 7. We felt it would be quite impossible to leave them behind us, believing the
beautiful words of Joseph (Gen. 50:21), find a sweet fulfillment in Jesus, and are
His words to usNow therefore fear not: I will nourish you and your little ones.
On midday on Saturday, March 3rd, we went on board the MARANOA, lying at
Queens Wharf, on the River Yarra, in the heart of the city where we had been so
tried and so blessed. Some hundreds of our friends accompanied us to the ship
where we had a precious time of prayer and praise; and so amidst hymns and tears
and blessings from grateful hearts we sailed away down the river and the bay, away
out into the ocean hearing the words, floating on the waters, of our sweet singers
as we left the shore:
Beyond the swelling floods
Well meet to part no more.
In two days we arrived safely in one of the loveliest of all the earthly heavens I
have ever seenthe beautiful harbor of Sydney.

61

JOHN ALEXANDER DOWIE

A LIFE STORY OF TRIALS, TRAGEDIES AND TRIUMPHS

The voyage had been very stormy until the morning of our arrival, but when the
sun rose upon the giant cliffs of Georges Head, a gentle breeze was beating over
the fair face of the deep blue waters, and scenes of entrancing beauty burst upon
our gaze, as we sailed onward close to the shores of the charming Illawarra
country. Onward we sailed past villages and towns which found fitting place in the
ever-changing panorama. Passing the southern suburbs of Sydney itself, we sailed
close under the high rocky steeps which front the ocean, and hide the great city
beyond them. Then onward to the Heads which open out that wondrous channel, a
narrow gateway of divine grandeur, into a harbor of surpassing loveliness
stretching away north, west, and south. And how wondrous the effects of sun and
sea upon these scenes of beauty which unfold as we pass onward. But now the city
flashes forth from every height, crowned to its summits with houses, the homes
and business places of hundreds of thousands of busy men and women. A great
commercial city is before us, where a hundred years ago, the silence of nature
reigned, save for the cries of a few savage, aboriginal tribes a wondrous
transformation.
Leaving Australia, the family made their way to New Zealand, where Dr. Dowie
labored several weeks in the interests of extending the ministry of Divine healing.
Then as had been planned, they set sail for America, where on June 7, 1888, the
family arrived, little realizing the tremendous impact the Divine healing ministry
was to have upon that country before many months had passed.
Regarding the years he had spent laboring in Australia, Dr. Dowie wrote the
following lines with which we conclude the chapter:
It is worth all the toil and trial and ten thousand times more, to have the real and
unmistakable experiences of the years now passing by, so full of confidence, and so
full of hope and love do they make my life, giving me the needed grace for trial and
toils and victories yet to come. The sense of all this being a kind of preparatory
school, is one that increases steadily in my heart as the years go by. They whiten
my hair, and put new furrows in my face, but my heart grows younger and my faith
is stronger and simpler, my hope is brighter, and above all, my love is purer. Life
has fewer real perplexities, and the solution of human difficulties is so clearly to be
found in Christ alone that I have no other thought than just to get to know what He
said, and did, and willed, and that is my path, and that alone for me. I never did
have any faith in what Tennyson calls honest doubt, for I have always felt that to
doubt our Lord Jesus Christ for a moment was a mean and dishonest thing, and
now I never give it any quarter.

62

CHAPTER XIV

THROUGH THE GOLDEN GATE

ON June 7, 1888, John Alexander Dowie passed through the Golden Gate at San
Francisco, California. He registered at the Palace Hotel, and looked to God to lead
him in his plans for preaching the gospel in America. At that time he had only
seventy-five dollars in his purse. Reporters looking for a story, heard of his coming
and featured something of his work in the local newspapers. Soon the carriages of
the wealthy from Oakland and Berkeley, crossed the bay on ferries, and rolled up
Market Street to the Palace Hotel. Before long, people were coming from all parts
of California, to have an interview and to be healed of the man from Australia.
Dr. Dowie was troubled. Large numbers of fine ladies, some from the circle of the
Four Hundred, were coming to see him. The preacher was blunt with them. He
asked them if they had given up their sins and follies. He told them to get salvation
and then they could talk about healing. They went off to say that Dr. Dowie was
one of the most attractive of men up to a certain point and then he was a terror.
Yet others continued to come. From early morning throughout the day, the
corridors of the Palace Hotel would be filled with people waiting for an interview.
Yet he prayed for not one, until an old woman from Sacramento came to the hotel.
Dr. Dowie tells what happened:
One morning I had been working with these godless Christian Scientists, and
church members, and fine-feathered birds with polluted hearts, and I was tired. It
was three oclock before I could get away. At last I sent a message to my secretary,
Clear the corridor. I will see no more until Mrs. Dowie gets some food. She was
fainting with weariness.
As I passed along I saw an old woman, with a long white crutch made of pine,
common as you could make it. I looked at her f ace it was seamed with care, and
everywhere there were wrinkles. A bright looking girl was by her side. As I passed
along, they said nothing. They had asked permission to be allowed to wait, and my
secretary had permitted it. As I passed, however, there was something in the eye of
that old woman that went to my heart.
It was a spirit looking out of the windows of a house of suffering. I could not go to
lunch. I came back and stood in front of her, asking, Mother, were you waiting to
see me? She answered, Thee be the doctor. I know thee be. How did you know,

63

JOHN ALEXANDER DOWIE

A LIFE STORY OF TRIALS, TRAGEDIES AND TRIUMPHS

mother? She replied, I knew it by the kind eye looking at me. I said, Mother,
come in. She was poor oh, so poor. She had to borrow the money to come from
Sacramento to San Francisco, and it was only a dollar fare or so.
After a few words of prayer, I found she was a most interesting character. She was
a tall, gaunt-visaged, weird looking person, abrupt in manner, without
imagination, conscious of her ignorance, and doubtful of her standing in Christ.
She presented a most peculiar study as the conversation proceeded. She said,
Doctor, I am a hard case; my husband is a much harder case; we are very poor,
and I am very ignorant; he read about you yesterday in Sacramento, the capital of
this State, about 100 miles from this city. He said, That is the old-time religion, or
else it is all a lie; go down and see if the doctor is what they say he is, and if he is,
you will come back cured.
I stared at him in astonishment, for he was not a Christian man, nor given to
believe in such things. But he was very pressing, and said, Go! So I have come.
But are you a Christian? I asked. I dont know, she replied. I want to know; I do
not believe in saying I am, unless I am sure. And then in a few minutes she burst
out, Oh, doctor, I want to be sure of salvation; you do not know how ignorant I
am; I cant read or write; I dont know a B from a bulls foot; I am poor white trash;
do you know what that means?
I said, Yes, you were born in the South, were you not? She answered, Yes, they
talk of slavesblack slavesbut I have been a white-skinned slave all my life, and I
am a slave now as regards work. They sent me out when I was only four years old
to gather sticks in the woods; I was beaten, half starved and cruelly treated by a
drunken step-father; I grew up ignorant. I do not know how to talk even now to
such a gentleman as you. Oh, tell me how can I be sure of salvation.
I was deeply moved, for she was speaking with a natural, or perhaps I should say,
a supernatural eloquence that was irresistible. I gladly responded to her cry, and it
was not long before I had the joy of seeing her led into a simple trust in Christ as
her Savior. The Holy Spirit had already wrought in her conviction of sin and a
fervent love for Christ the Righteous, and she was ready to yield her heart to Him. I
realized that Satan was condemned, and she was set free. She looked at me with
tears in her stony face, and when I asked, Now will you just trust Jesus as your
Healer? she again replied, Show me how. I said, If Jesus were to enter this room
now and present Himself to you, would you ask Him to heal you, believing that He
would?
Oh, yes, Doctor, she said, and I believe He would. Then, I replied, He is
present. She looked around. I said, Invisibly present, for He has said, Lo, I am
with you always. If that is true, He is here now in spirit and in power.

64

JOHN ALEXANDER DOWIE

A LIFE STORY OF TRIALS, TRAGEDIES AND TRIUMPHS

Doctor, she said, I believe He is. Without another word, I knelt at her feet and
asked her to put the diseased foot in my hand; I prayed that God would use me by
the Holy Spirit in Jesus name, and for His sake, in her healing. When I had
finished praying, I looked up and saw that she was crying softly. I think my
attitude at her feet had deeply touched her; but she was looking upward lost in
reverent prayer. I rose and said, In Jesus name, rise and walk! She looked for the
crutch, which I had placed beyond her reach. I repeated the words, In Jesus
name, rise and walk! She arose, and walked several times across the room.
I said, You are healed. She could not speak for emotion, which she tried hard to
restrain, but at last gave way, and falling on Mrs. Dowies neck, kissed her warmly,
and also embraced her daughter, whom she had told me she had not kissed for
many years. It was a very affecting scene. The daughter was a backslider, but ere
she left the room she was restored to God. As they were going away, I said the old
lady, You have left something which belongs to you. She asked, What? I said,
Your crutch. Oh, she answered, I dont need it any more; I am healed. I
inquired, What do you intend to with it then? holding it in my hand. She said,
Oh, Doctor, if you would like to take it, I will leave it with you. I answered, Very
well, put it in the corner. And in the corner it was placed, and she walked more
than eight blocks to her daughters house.
In two days, on Monday, the 19th of June, she came back rejoicing, saying she had
walked about quite well. She told me that she had not for two and a half years
rested upon that foot without a crutch, and that for ten months, she thought she
had not slept one solid hour. I asked her how she slept now, and she said, Like a
baby. And then she told me she was going home. I asked What are you going to do
when you get home?
I will tell all, she said, that Jesus saved and healed even me.
John Alexander Dowie now entered into an intensive series of healing campaigns
that took him up and down the Pacific Coast. He held a mission in a Presbyterian
Church at Oakland, California, and during that time, among other healings, was
the remarkable miracle of Mrs. Delilah Kinga woman who had suffered from a
chronic cancer, which had eaten into the larynx of her throat, and who had been
given up by the doctors to die. When prayer was for her by John Alexander Dowie,
the cancer disappeared. Mrs. King at that time was sixty-nine years of age, but she
lived on for thirty-four years more as a monument of Gods miraculous healing and
keeping power. When she passed away, long after the death of John Alexander
Dowie, she was nearly one hundred and four years of age. The validity of her
testimony never was challenged or questioned, though it was printed and
circulated throughout the world.

65

JOHN ALEXANDER DOWIE

A LIFE STORY OF TRIALS, TRAGEDIES AND TRIUMPHS

In San Jose, Los Angeles, and San Diego, Dr. Dowie went with the ministry of
deliverance for body and soul. Great enthusiasm was aroused by his message, and
large crowds attended his services. However, the large audiences excited the envy
of ecclesiastical authorities and a persecution began to rise against him.
Persecution never daunted Dowie, and his work went forward at an increased pace.
Not all church authorities immediately opposed him, and the Congregational
Assembly requested him to address their ministers, which he did, and was given a
very sympathetic hearing.
The following year, Dr. Dowie held a series of campaigns in the Northwest,
including Victoria, Seattle, and Portland. Later he went East traveling through
many states and cities, until at last, in the summer of 1890, he made his home in
Evanston, Illinois, a suburb of Chicago. He was bitterly attacked by the Chicago
newspapers which declared he was an imposter, and that he was not wanted in the
city of Chicago. Dr. Dowie, who by this time, was a veteran in the art of facing
opposition, was not seriously disturbed by these reports.

66

CHAPTER XV

DOWIE VISITS THE FALSE CHRIST

SHORTLY after Dr. Dowie arrived from Australia in 1888, he heard that a man by
the name of Jacob Schweinfurth had allowed himself to be proclaimed the Christ,
and that his appearance on the scene was none other than the Second Advent of
the Savior. He also learned that Schweinfurth had set up what he called a heavenon-earth on a farm six miles south of Rockford, Illinois. Dr. Dowie determined
that when opportunity should offer, he would investigate the claims of this false
Christ. On July 29, 1889, while he was in Chicago, he with several companions left
for Rockford, arriving there about noon, after which they drove out to the so-called
Schweinfurth Heaven.
Upon arriving at the farm, Dowie made inquiry whether it would be agreeable with
Schweinfurth to have an interview with him. He was invited into the house and
introduced to Mr. Schweinfurth. Dowie described the man as being short in
stature, of slender build, with hair almost fiery red, a short clipped beard, a
mustache, and whiskers. His face was small, his eye dull and seemingly without
expression even when most animated. A conversation followed the introduction,
which continued without intermission for two hours and a half.
The interview had been opened by Schweinfurth asking Dowie his opinions
concerning the conditions of the church throughout the world. After answering his
questions, Dr. Dowie then took the questioners place and held the conversation
from that time. It was evident that the false Christ realized that the opening
remarks were only preparatory fencing and he was watching Dowie to see how he
would open to matters more grave connected with his astounding claims.
Schweinfurth showed no eagerness to discuss these claims until the subject was
forced upon him.
Dr. Dowie then plunged into an intense and pointed conversation with
Schweinfurth which he observed soon broke up the mans cool restraint. As the
latter wiped the sweat from his brow, it was evident that the conversation was
noticeably affecting his alleged habitual composure, and the tell-tale blood that
flowed to his face showed that he had been hard hit. Accurate notes were taken
down of the following dialogue that ensued.

67

JOHN ALEXANDER DOWIE

A LIFE STORY OF TRIALS, TRAGEDIES AND TRIUMPHS

Mr. .Dowie: You will now pardon me, Mr. Schweinfurth, if I at once ask you to
enter upon the subject of yourself and your claims, and the public declaration of
which, has caused me to make this visit to you today.
Mr. Schweinfurth: Certainly Doctor, I am willing that you should ask me any
questions that you please.
Dowie: Is it true that you claim to be the incarnation of our Lord and Saviour Jesus
Christ, the Eternal Word which became flesh and dwelt on earth nineteen
centuries ago, Whose life is recorded in the four gospels, Who died on the cross,
rose from the dead, and re-ascended into the heavens? Do you declare that you are
the Christ Who came to the earth, and that who I am speaking to is He? (While
Dowie uttered these words with great solemnity and fastened his eyes upon him,
Schweinfurth drew himself together in almost fear, it seemed. Rapidly collecting
himself, but yet with great effort, he paused for a few brief seconds before he
answered.)
Schweinfurth: I am he. (For fully half a minute Dowie looked at him and then said:
Dowie: Then if you are the Christ, you must also claim, as the Second Person of the
Godhead, that in you dwells all the fullness of the Godhead, bodily, and you are the
incarnation of the Eternal Father and the Eternal Spirit?
Schweinfurth: I do.
Dowie: Then as Christ, you ought to know more about me than I know about
myself.
Schweinfurth: Perhaps I do.
Dowie: Very well. Now tell me where I was born, what my life has been, where I
have labored, my age, the name of my wife. In short, prove to me your knowledge
of my outward life, and I will ask you about my inward and spiritual life.
(At this point, a Mrs. Tuttle, who had been the one who had first proclaimed the
false Christ, who had been sitting very uneasily fanning herself, and observing the
sweat which had broken out upon the false Christs brow, interposed.)
Mrs. Tuttle: O Doctor Dowie, you entirely misunderstand. The Christ never
witnessed for himself. He never proclaimed himself. I (she said, drawing herself
proudly and pointing to him patronizingly) proclaimed him to be the Christ. He
knew it not, but I proclaimed him, for God revealed it unto me.

68

JOHN ALEXANDER DOWIE

A LIFE STORY OF TRIALS, TRAGEDIES AND TRIUMPHS

(This interruption had given Mr. Schweinfurth time to recover himself from Dr.
Dowies rapidly and earnestly asked string of questions, to none of which he ever
ventured an answer and with an affected calm and an assumption of dignity, he
said with diabolical coolness:)
Schweinfurth: I witness not for myself and no man can come unto me except the
Father draw him.
Dowie: Yes, you are quoting the words of Christ, but you must remember that He
manifested His divinity by His words and works, and appealed to both as justifying
His claims. Now, by what words or works do you justify your claims to divinity?
Schweinfurth: (With almost ludicrous solemnity) I am He.
Dowie: Well Mr. Schweinfurt, if you are He and you are the Eternal God manifest
in the flesh, you will have no difficulty whatever in satisfying me as to your claims
if you can only present me some adequate proofsI will leave you to decide of.
what nature these shall beonly let them be manifestly divine.
Schweinfurth: I witness not of myself.
Dowie: O, that is utter nonsense. Christ manifested Himself before and after His
resurrection by many infallible proofs He changed water into wine; He
miraculously increased the loaves and the fishes, and fed the multitude; He calmed
the stormy sea and conquered the winds and the waves; He healed the sick of every
kind. He raised the dead and even made His enemies to say, Never man spake like
this man.
Schweinfurth: (Sneeringly) Ha, Ha, you are in the kindergarten stage of your
conception of Christ. Healings and such things as you speak of are of small account
to me. These are the kindergarten methods. Now there is a higher.
Dowie: Suppose it to be so; then show me the higher. I have asked you questions
concerning my external life, and you admit your limited knowledge by your
inability to answer them. Speaking freely, do you not admit that you are a man of
limited knowledge?
Schweinfurt: I admit that there are limits to my knowledge.
Dowie: That fact at once proves you are not the Christ in whom are hid all the
treasures of wisdom and knowledge, to whom all power is given in heaven and
on earth, and no creature is hidden from his sight.
Schweinfurth: You do not understand.

69

JOHN ALEXANDER DOWIE

A LIFE STORY OF TRIALS, TRAGEDIES AND TRIUMPHS

Mrs. Tuttle: He knew it not; I proclaimed him to be the Christ.

Dowie: But if you are the Christ, you must know me from a child. If you were the
Christ, I should say to your face: You know that I have loved You. You know that
every day, despite my short-comings, my thoughts have been of Thee, O Christ.
You know that I have consecrated my life to Thee, and have proclaimed this Gospel
to multitudes and in Thy name have laid hands on sixteen thousand sick persons.
But you do not know me, and I say to your face you do not. I must either believe on
you as my Lord and God or proclaim you as an imposter and a liar, and diabolical
representation - not of Christ but of some cruel devil who is deluding not a few to
deep depths of shame and misery here and to destruction hereafter.
The rapidly and earnestly delivered appeal by Dr. Dowie caused the false Christ
great uneasiness. The minister drew his chair closer to him and be spoke his words
with his eyes fixed steadfastly upon the man. Mrs. Tuttle, seeing that Schweinfurth
was greatly disconcerted, rushed to the rescue, and declared that Dr. Dowie did not
understand. Dowie replied by asking her to make him to understand, and said, If
you have knowledge that enabled you to reveal the Christ, and he has the
knowledge, he will not be perturbed by these questions and observations. Dowie
then asked her if she were not the wife of a Congregational minister, to which he
received the reply, I was.
The fact was that Mrs. Tuttle had left her husband and had taken up with
Schweinfurth. The party noted that there were two children in the home that bore
a remarkable likeness to the false Christ, and there were several more born
recently in the home, whom the mothers (there were several women in the home)
blasphemously called the offspring of the Holy Ghost.
Dr. Dowie continued to deliver a rapid fire of questions which greatly disconcerted
the man who sat before him. It was soon found that the one who said he was Christ
knew nothing of the Greek or Hebrew or original tongues from which the
Scriptures were translated. His quotations of the Scriptures were often incorrect.
By this time it was apparent to those in the horne, that on the basis of wisdom and
knowledge, they were conscious that they had failed to make any impression
whatever. Mrs. Tuttle then burst out in a long rapturous testimony that Mr.
Schweinfurth was the Christ and that nothing that Dr. Dowie might say would in
the slightest degree shake the faith of their people in him. (At this point we resume
a portion of the dialogue.)
Dowie: Who are his people?
Mrs. Tuttle: The church militant.
Schweinfurth: Oh!

70

JOHN ALEXANDER DOWIE

A LIFE STORY OF TRIALS, TRAGEDIES AND TRIUMPHS

Mrs. Tuttle: Oh I forgot; I should have said the church triumphant.

Dowie: (Laughingly) O you dont seem to be agreed. How many members do you
suppose you have in the church triumphant?
Schweinfurth: I cannot tell.
Dowie: But the Lord knows them that are His. You ought to be able to tell if you
are the Christ. It seems strange to me indeed, to hear a man pronouncing himself
the Eternal God, who ought to know all those who serve him truly, unable to tell
the number, seeing that the very hairs of our head could all be numbered in a
moment of time by Him and there are no limits to His knowledge.
By this time the false Christ was much discomposed and Dowie hastened on with
his questions as he saw that the interview might suddenly be brought to a close
without giving him the opportunity of closing it as he deemed best. Some of Dr.
Dowies party gave testimony to their being marvelously healed, and he asked
Schweinfurth why he called Divine healing the kindergarten stage.
Mrs. Tuttle: You do not understand. Mr. Schweinfurth has power, but he does not
exercise it. It would be needful for you to listen to his teaching.
Dowie: I think now we have come to the end of this, and it becomes my duty as a
minister of the Gospel, to warn you faithfully, and to declare my convictions of
your claims.
Schweinfurth: Oh it does not matter what you say. It will not affect anything.
Dowie: It will free my conscience of all guilt concerning you, and it is my duty. In
the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ, I now warn you to repent of your great
wickedness in making such blasphemous claims, and in pursuing a course of
deceptions and demoralization, deluding many others and preparing for them
harvests of bitter shame and misery. I declare that you are not the Christ, but a
blasphemer and a deceiver, and that through your sinfulness you have become
completely controlled by Satan, and are now given over to a strong delusion to
believe a lie if indeed you believe what you assert.
Mrs. Tuttle: Dr. Dowie, take care what you say. He is the Christ; he is the Christ.
Schweinfurth (Who by this diversion had been enabled to recover himself) I
dreamed of you, Doctor, last night, and that you sat there and said just the words
that you have spoken, and that I said, You lie.

71

JOHN ALEXANDER DOWIE

A LIFE STORY OF TRIALS, TRAGEDIES AND TRIUMPHS

Dowie: Is it needful for the Christ to dream? And if you dreamed that I was here
and said these words, how came it that you manifested so much surprise when you
knew my name, and did not recognize me at all?
Schweinfurth: (In apparent confusion) Oh, the dream has only just come to me.
Dowie: You remind me of Mohammed and other false prophets who used to get
revelations on the spot and had dreams convenient for all emergencies.
Schweinfurth: You shall answer for your denunciations of me before the judgment
seat of God.
Dowie: I will gladly do so and thank God as I stand before the judgment seat of
Christ that He permitted me to denounce you as an impostor and deceiver.
Schweinfurth: You will repent of all that you have said.
Dowie: I shall never repent for having done my duty, and I have only a few more
words to add in closing this interview. They are these: I am glad that I have come
and glad that I have seen you and for these two hours and a half have spoken with
you. I had thought before I came that you might be an exceedingly dangerous man,
but I have no fear that you will be able to affect much, and I venture to prophecy in
the Name of the Lord that you will wither away.
(With these words Dr. Dowie rose to his feet and all in the room followed his
example.)
Mrs. Tuttle: You will need to repent, Dr. Dowie, for having said such dreadful
things.
Dowie: I have said my last words and will say no more except to thank you for
giving me this interview and the opportunity of doing my duty. I have no other
feeling than one of intense desire that you should repent of your great sin, and
shall be glad to have you call upon me, should you be in Chicago or its
neighborhood. I shall be glad to give you an interview at any time in my home in
Evanston.
(With these words, Dr. Dowie grasped the hand of the false Christ, bowed to the
lady and retired.)

CHAPTER XVI

DR. DOWIE GOES TO CHICAGO

IT had been the original intention of John Alexander Dowie to go on to England

after he had concluded a series of healing missions in America. However, as it
turned out, circumstances developed that altered his plans. He was delivering the
concluding address at a Divine healing convention in Chicago, Illinois, on August
7, 1890, when a lady present in the congregation made a request that he pray for
Mrs. Jennie Paddock, a lady who was lying at home suffering from a fibroid
tumorthe doctors having abandoned the case because mortification had set in.
John Alexander Dowie took this as a test of whether he should begin a work in
Chicago. He prayed for the dying woman; she was instantly healed and lived many
years. The tumor, according to the description of a doctor, was almost as large as a
cocoanut. It had grown fast to the blood vessels, and the spine, and protruded into
her stomach so that she was unable to take food. The healing was so remarkable
that a complete account of it appeared in several of the Chicago newspapers.
Dr. Dowie continued to fulfill engagements for healing missions in various parts of
the country. But from that time, he considered the possibility of making Chicago,
Americas second city, his headquarters. Plans were under way at that time to have
the Worlds Fair there. Dowie felt that with the opening of the Fair, and with
people coming from all over the world, it would be an auspicious time to begin a
permanent work in that city. With this in mind, he built a small tabernacle not far
from the gates of the Fair, opposite the camp of Buffalo Bill. The opening service in
the new building was held May 7, 1893. However, the response to his first
endeavors in the tabernacle for which he had set high hopes, was rather
disheartening. People hurried by, and gave only a casual glance at what was
sarcastically referred to as The Little Wooden Hut. Some years later Dr. Dowie
from his pulpit recalled the story of his early beginnings in Chicago:
At the Worlds Fair gate in 1893 we built our despised little wooden hut. If
anybody noticed it, they simply noticed it with supreme contempt and passed on
through the gates into Vanity Fair.
The world passed on, and the church passed on, for the church was robed with the
world and had not time to stop and pray. I know of many contemptuous things
that were said from day to day as people saw a flag with the words, Christ Is All
floating over our humble little wooden hut.

73

JOHN ALEXANDER DOWIE

A LIFE STORY OF TRIALS, TRAGEDIES AND TRIUMPHS

But there were some that looked, and there were some that stepped in, and there
were some that listened. They were very few, however.
The year passed on, and the Fair closed amidst horror, and blood, and ruin,
financial and moral on every side. It was followed by that terrible crash which
brought to beggary millions of people.
In the midst of great national disaster, Zion was planted. We held on through that
dark winter, the whole neighborhood of the Worlds Fair being forsaken as if it
were an accursed place; the people wanted to get away from it.
As the winter of 1893-4 went on, our little tabernacle small as it was, was too large
for the small audiences. We had to retire into a small back room and hold on
during the first part of the winter. We were only a score or two of people. I have
preached to four. I have preached to ten. But I held on. I used to say to myself,
Well, now, after all, is this a right expenditure? You used to preach sometimes to
20,000 people in the open air in Australia. Whenever you leave this city you get
large audiences in any city of Canada and the East. But I said, No. God put me
here. And that was the first of the series of tabernacles, each larger than the one
before.
People who passed in the train in that dark terrible winter who saw the words,
Zion Tabernacle, thought perhaps that it was shut up, abandoned like all the rest;
but there was not a day in which there was not a service, not one; and scarcely a
night in which it was not opened.
The winter passed on, and ere it was through, the break came. The mighty power
of God descended upon us. One after another people were brought from long
distances and were wonderfully healed. We moved back into the main part of the
tabernacle again. And as many of you know, it was overflowed from the beginning.
Long before we opened the meetings the aisles in the tabernacle would be
crowded. For months people stood in snow or sat on improvised seats and stood
where they could hear if they could not see. God blessed and the revival of His
work has been going on from that hour to this.
As it was in Australia, so it was in America, the ministry of healing and miracles
was the key by which Dr. Dowie was able to secure an open door to the city of
Chicago and to break through the hard crust of social indifference and apathy to
the Gospel message. As soon as it was noised around that miracles were occurring,
the crowds began to come.
As one reads through the early volumes of the old LEAVES OF HEALING, he sees
in panorama the documentation of a vast number of the most remarkable and
amazing miracles of healing. The news of these healings passed from mouth to

74

JOHN ALEXANDER DOWIE

A LIFE STORY OF TRIALS, TRAGEDIES AND TRIUMPHS

mouth throughout the great city of Chicago. Moreover, through the LEAVES OF
HEALING which began publication at that time, the reports were carried out to the
world, and people began to come from great distances to be healed.
However, the city newspapers were incredulous of the reports of miracles
occurring and began a systematic campaign of derision and opposition. In the
persecution which followed, the newspapers were joined by a formidable list of
allies which included ministers, members of the medical profession, as well as
those of the tobacco and liquor interests, the latter of whom Dowie always handled
roughly. Near the end of the year 1894, there was a succession of announcements
in the CHICAGO TRIBUNE that the State Board of Health was preparing to
investigate Dr. Dowie because, so they claimed, he was practicing medicine
without a license.
The truth was that because of the rapidly growing interest in Dr. Dowies ministry
of healing, both the ministers of the city and medical fraternity were becoming
alarmed. From several sources pressure was being put upon authorities to throttle
this outspoken preacher who they considered was nothing but a nuisance and a
trouble maker. However, officials hesitated to attempt such action, for, as they
knew, the American Constitution recognizes the inherent right of anyone who
chooses, to preach the Gospel and carry on religious services without interference
from the law. But the enemies of Dowie, in probing about for a pretext by which
they could invoke the intervention of the law thought they had discovered a
vulnerable point when he began the operation of Healing Homes.
Hundreds of people had been coming into the city to be ministered to for healing
and often they had experienced difficulty in finding a convenient place to lodge.
Therefore, in meeting a need that seemed to have developed, Dr. Dowie leased and
furnished several large rooming houses to be used as Healing Homes, where the
people could secure their meals and lodgings at a nominal charge, receive spiritual
encouragement, and be conveniently located to the evening services. Of course, no
medical treatment of any kind was given. It was against these Homes that the
newspapers thought that they had found a fair target, and each seemed to outdo
the other in their persistent and derisive attacks against them. No particular
attention to the truth appears to have been considered and the reporters who
wrote the articles, in describing the alleged objectionable and unlawful features
of the Homes, drew liberally of their imagination. Below we give a typical example
of their writings, this report appearing in the CHICAGO DISPATCH:
DR. DOWIES LUNATIC ASYLUM
In connection with the homes of Dr. Dowie, according to his own admission, is a
private lunatic asylum where gibbering idiots are confined and from whose
keeping Dowie derives a handsome revenue.

75

JOHN ALEXANDER DOWIE

A LIFE STORY OF TRIALS, TRAGEDIES AND TRIUMPHS

He solicits this class, and at present a score of patients pass the weary hours before
the bars of this chamber of horrors. When their friends nicety gives out, the
unfortunates are thrown into streets to wander at will, to court their own
destruction, and jeopardize the lives of the citizens.
The citizens are wild and their rage increases as fresh villainies an exposed. The
neighbors are active in assisting the police and reporters in their work, and were
instrumental in giving publicity to one of the most obnoxious features of the case.
A delegation visited the City Board of Health, and made the following kick: Dowies
homes are a haven for low prostitutes from the avenues of sin. Dowie uses them to
advantage at the home, and then sends them out into the country as proselytes to
recruit victims, giving them a certain per cent of the swag. Now we know this to be
a fact, and are willing to swear that numerous women of lost reputation have made
Dowies home as their home, not as converts but as accomplices. (one) woman
Dowie presented as a pure country girl, was one of the must unblushing Cyprians
who ever added their charms to the coterie of girls in the house of a well-known
Dearborn Street madam. It is these women who flock along Edgerton Avenue,
brush against the pure wives and daughters of the residents, and contaminate the
air with their abandon, that forms the most objectionable feature of Dr. Dowies
aggregation of freaks.
The same newspaper, on December 13, 1895, carried the following account:
The death record of John Alexander Dowies hospitals has increased by one. To
the long list of persons who have lost either life or reason in the infamous
Woodlawn heavens, the name of another victim has been added. The horror
usually attending tragedies in the fakers resorts was not lacking in the present
case. Dowie, knowing the woman would die, sent her away in the sleet and
drizzling rain of Monday night to a cheap hotel where a dance was in progress.
There to the strains of My Pearls a Bowery Girl and Daisy Bell a life went out,
sacrificed on the altar of fanaticism and hypocrisy. Mrs. Sarah A. Black was the
womans name. She was well and favorably known in the little suburb of Hermosa
as a devout Christian.
Afflicted with consumption in a mild form, she was naturally anxious that relief
should be secured. The anxiety was shared by her daughter. The couple heard of
Dowie and attended one of his Sunday afternoon matinees. The testimony of the
women proselytes was accepted as gospel. The visitors innocence was such that
they could not imagine it possible that even a convicted law breaker and ex-convict
would prostitute religion for his own gain and call to his aid purchased testimony
to support him.
Both parties became inmates of the death houses. Deprived of the nourishment
necessary, chilled to the bone by the cruel blasts that blew in from old Lake

76

JOHN ALEXANDER DOWIE

A LIFE STORY OF TRIALS, TRAGEDIES AND TRIUMPHS

Michigan and whistled through the Edgerton Avenue dens, the mother grew
rapidly worse. Monday, her condition was such that concealment from the
daughter was no longer possible. She was dying. The bogus Christ said she had not
sufficient faith. The police say she had not sufficient care.
Dowie is wise. Dowie is foxy. Death has no terrors for Dowie if he has secured the
dying persons money. But Dowies wisdom and foxiness tells him that death must
not occur at his homes. The patient must be thrown out, bundled away, for all are
not imbeciles and there are those who are sufficiently worldly-wise to penetrate the
mask of religion and see the criminal behind.
On Monday, December 10, 1895, Mrs. Sarah Black was sent from the home
through the sleet and blinding snow, through the mud and the slush of the streets,
to Hotel Lenora. A dance was in progress, and to the strains of concert hall songs,
and coarse jests of the dancers, the woman died.
The body of Mrs. Black was taken to the home of the daughter at 893 North
Lincoln Street. By a strange coincidence the undertakers wagon passed along
Edgerton Avenue. Through the windows of Home No. 1, the shining pate and
flowing beard of the prince of hypocrites could be seen. He was exhorting other
victims to pay him money, to add to that of the poor occupant of the passing
hearse.
Dr. Dowie read this article before his congregation on the following Sunday, and
then called the husband of the deceased to the platform. The latter testified that
Mrs. Black had never been inside one of Dr. Dowies homes, and he denounced the
whole article as an infamous lie.
All such reports as these were, of course, made out of whole cloth and without a
shred of foundation in truth, but had been conjured by the agile minds of
reporters, who, believing that Dowie was fair game, and incapable of defending
himself against the overwhelming opposition, supposed the concocting of such
fanciful tales would make zestful reading for their subscribers and increase sales at
the newsstands.
But the leaders of the opposition stung by Dr. Dowies sharp castigations realized
that words alone were having no effect in getting him out of town, nor in
diminishing the size of his audiences. They increased pressure upon the State
Board of Health to make a charge against him that he was practicing medicine
without a licensea charge which, of course, was obviously untrue, since Dr.
Dowie would have been the last person in the world to have introduced medicine
into his Homes. The threatening storm of persecution which was to rival anything
of its kind in America since the days of the prosecution of the Salem witches, was
now ready to break. But if Dr. Dowie made any attempt to avert it by toning down

77

JOHN ALEXANDER DOWIE

his preaching, or deviating one iota from his course of action, it was undetectable
to friend or foe. Certainly it is possible that had those of the opposition known the
grim determination of the one who was the object of their persecution, as they
were to know it a year later, they would have called off their campaign then and
there, and that gladly.

CHAPTER XVII

THE RISING STORM IN CHICAGO

JOHN Alexander Dowie was fully aware of the opposition that was rising against
him, and of its extent and seriousness. A more diplomatic man would have sought
some way to soften the blow. But persecution rather than intimidating him, had
the peculiar effect of bringing into vigorous action his great variety of talents and
resourcefulness. His reaction to what was taking place is shown in his editorial in
LEAVES OF HEALING, January 18, 1895:
We expected stormy times and they have come. We have no right to complain nor
to be surprised. We sought the conflict with the powers of hell and we have found
it. The hellish forces in Chicago are arrayed against us. The devil honors us by
howling in his pain.
Thousands upon thousands of sinners have been convicted of sin in Zion
Tabernacle, and have been openly repenting, confessing and forsaking the filthy
pleasures of sin. But the devil missed them, and so do the saloon-keepers, the
drunkard manufacturers. So do also the stink-pot makers, the tobacco vendors.
So also do the theaters, the dance rooms, the secret society haunts, and the
gambling hells and places of shame. The card table knows them no more in the
drawing rooms, and they have no time, taste, nor money for operas, concerts and
lustful music. Hymnbooks have taken the place of the dance and the sentimental
music. Homes are happy, children are loved, and neglected wives grow young and
beautiful again to eyes once bleared with drink and smoke. Howl on ye fiends in
every formyour anguish is our joy, and your despair our hope for the captives yet
in your dungeons of death.
The druggist mourns: for his patent medicines and pills, his plasters and his
poisons are in danger of becoming a drug on the market, instead of misery in the
stomach of his victims. The doctor mourns his patients, and cannot be comforted,
because they are healed and shall seek his face no more forever. Neither the
allopath, nor the homeopath, the psychopath, nor the hydropath, nor any of the
other well-trodden paths of pain to poverty, misery, and despair, shall see these
sufferers any more, for they have found the path of Divine healing.
Poor doctors, who will comfort them? Poor surgeons, who will comfort them? For
their victims are hurling the lancets and the forceps after the poisons and the pills.
They have rushed to their comrades of the State Board of Health, they have

79

JOHN ALEXANDER DOWIE

summoned their henchmenmercenary lawyers, the policemen, the press, and the
pulpit to save them from the wrath to come of a disillusioned people. But it is all in
vain. The beginning of the end has come. Soon the dead must bury their dead,
and the drugged must administer drugs, but those who follow the living Savior,
will no longer seek the living among the dead, nor healing from deadly poisons
and murderous knives.
As has been intimated in the previous chapter, the enemies of Dr. Dowie had
hoped that the unfavorable publicity would discredit his activities and compel him
to discontinue the operation of his Healing Homes. But to their undisguised
disappointment, they soon discovered that their efforts had apparently only
advertised his work the more, and that his healing ministry was now drawing
respectful attention from an ever-increasing circle of people. At length the
opposition prevailed upon the Board of Health to swear out a warrant for his arrest
on the charge of illegally practicing medicine. Forthwith, Dr. Dowie was arrested
early in January, 1895. Appearing before a magistrate, he posted bail after which
he was given a summons to appear on the fifteenth of the month before the court
of Judge K. Prineville.
Dr. Dowie retained the services of Attorney Anthony Stubblefield. Actually, Mr.
Stubblefield, a brilliant lawyer, merely assisted Dowie by keeping him informed of
the legal requirements of courtroom procedure. The latter did most of the speaking
in his own defense, and his astuteness under cross-examination often gave the
appearance of putting the attorneys for the prosecution on the defensive. On the
pages which follow, we give the exchange of conversation between Attorney
Williams for the state and Dr. Dowie when he took the stand to witness in his own
defense. In the LEAVES OF HEALING, Volume I, we have complete records of a
number of his court appearances. The following condensed account of his first
appearance in court is typical of the many others which followed, during the course
of the year 1895.
VERBATIM REPORT OF THE TRIAL OF JOHN ALEXANDER DOWIE BEFORE
JUSTICE PRINEVILLE IN CHICAGO
MR. WILLIAMS. We claim that the charge against Mr. Dowie is that he is
treating, operating upon people or prescribing for persons who are under physical
disability, without license from the State Board of Health.
MR. DOWIE. We want to know what we are charged with. It is not enough to say
that we are guilty of operating or prescribing. We want to know the names of any
persons, so that we may be able to deal with specific cases.

JOHN ALEXANDER DOWIE

A LIFE STORY OF TRIALS, TRAGEDIES AND TRIUMPHS

A.

My business was the ministry of the gospel of Jesus Christ.

Q.

What classes of persons are received in your Homes?

A.
They are many classes. Sometimes doctors are my guests. Doctors! Doctors
of medicine! Ministers of the gospel. Lawyers. (I have not had the pleasure of
receiving you yet, and I do not know that I could receive you; you do not come
within the proper requirements.) Doctors, ministers, lawyers, merchants. I think I
have had some judges. I had a general once and his ladies.
Q.

A general in name or fact?

A.
A general in fact. Persons in all classes of life. Remember, I wish to give you
the fullest information.
Q.

Do you take any persons that have a contagious disease?

A.

No sir, not under any circumstances.

Q.

Mr. Dowie isnt it a fact that there are patients that have

A.

We object to the word patients. We call them guests.

Q.
Oh, guests. Now I know what you mean. Now Dowie, are most of these cases
considered by the medical profession incurable?
A.
A very large number. They spent all their living upon medicine, and did not
get better, only worse.
Q.
What arrangements do you make with your guests that come to your Divine
Healing Home?
A.
Every guest who enters Divine Healing Home No. 1, does so with the distinct
understanding that he is to receive no treatment whatever in the medical sense of
the term.
Q.

Is your treatment confined entirely to Home No. 1?

A.

I dont treat at all.

Q.

What do you term it?

A.
I pray for the sick. I pray to God for the sick in the name of the Lord Jesus
Christ. I object to the word, treatment.

81

JOHN ALEXANDER DOWIE

A LIFE STORY OF TRIALS, TRAGEDIES AND TRIUMPHS

Q.
I dont know what word to use in its place: I am not so well versed in the
English language as you are.
A.
I dont want to be personally offensive, simply to say it is a term I very much
object to.
Q.

Do you pray with any person privately?

A.

I never pray with a lady unless Mrs. Dowie is present.

Q.

Do you lay hands upon the guests in your treatment ?

A.

Yes, sir.

Q.

Show the court the manner.

A.

I have explained to you that I am a minister of the Gospel

Q.
I want you to answer that question. We understand that you are a minister
of the Gospel.
A.
I understand your question. I will answer it in my own way. Judge, may I
answer this question my way?
COURT. Let him answer.
A.
As a minister of the gospel of Jesus Christ I obey His commands. He said:
These signs shall follow them that believe. In My name they shall lay hands on the
sick and they shall recover. I pray for recovery.
Q.

You do this for the purpose of curing the person of that disease?

A.
No sir. I do not heal anyone. I do it for the purpose of obeying God, Who
uses me in the healings.
Q.

You do it for the purpose of effecting a cure?

A.

Of God effecting a cure. I have never healed anyone, nor claimed that I did.

Q.

Dowie, what

A.

Is that the proper way to address me? Dowie!

MR. WILLIAMS: I apologize.

82

JOHN ALEXANDER DOWIE

A LIFE STORY OF TRIALS, TRAGEDIES AND TRIUMPHS

MR. DOWIE. Its time you did sir; you have spoken to me in that way several
times. You are very rude.
Q.
Do you ever pray for anyone for healing who has not professed the doctrine
of Divine healing?
A.

Certainly not.

Q.

If he came and offered you ever so much money would you accept it?

A.
If any man came and offered me money to pray for him, I should reject the
case at once, and have nothing to do with it. I should consider it a personal insult
to he offered money for healing.
Q.
Do you lay hands on these persons with the expectation that the act itself
will have any special effect upon them?
A.
No sir, and I say that the act itself may be entirely ineffectual, and often use
the expression: If you are not right with God, and are attempting to deceive me
and God you will get no blessing.
Q.

In your preaching do you preach Jesus Christ and Dowie?

A.
No sir, I preach Jesus Christ, and not Dowie. I say Dowie is nothing and
Jesus Christ is everything.
Q.

Do you receive anything from any person?

A.

Free-will offerings are received in the institution and out of it.

Q.

They are welcome?

A.

Quite welcome. I should be glad to receive a million dollars from you.

Q.

You are on the wrong track.

A.
I guess I am. You will never get on the right track unless you repent. There is
no chance of your getting there until you do.
Q.

Do you print your testimonies in the newspapers?

A.
No sir. I would not print them in some of the vile papers of this city. I only
print them in my own paper.

83

JOHN ALEXANDER DOWIE

A LIFE STORY OF TRIALS, TRAGEDIES AND TRIUMPHS

Q.

What is the nature of your evangelistic work ?

A.
I preach the gospel of salvation through faith in Jesus Christ, and with it the
gospel of Divine healing. I also preach true holiness through faith in Jesus Christ.
Q.
I will now ask you: Is it a fact that many sermons you preach have no
bearing on the doctrine of Divine healing?
A.
Yes, for Divine healing does not come first in my ministry. Many people are
saved through Divine healing, and our sermons are largely connected with it, but
we aim to get the people to give up their sins first of all. If you were there, I should
want you to give up tobacco.
Dr. Dowie acting as his own counsel spoke as follows after his prosecutors rested
their case:
The case at this stage ought to be dismissed. There is not a single proof before the
Court that I undertook treatment of any kind, but the contrary. How very strange
is it that not one of the thousands that have passed through our Homes has been
brought here to testify against us. The State has attempted to prove its case in a
most extraordinary manner, out of the mouth of the person it has accused. They
placed me as their first witness upon the witness stand. They placed two of my
secretaries there, and failing to prove anything by them, they bring a solitary man
as a witness, who has nothing really to say against us.
Every citizen of the United States, and every resident of this country, though a
citizen of another country, is protected by the laws of the United States, and has a
right to teach and preach and practice all that the Bible permits him to do.
Christianity is protected by the common law. Christianity is protected on every
side by the law, in Great Britain and America.
As a minister of the gospel, it is not only my privilege, but my duty to preach the
whole gospel for Spirit, for soul and for body.
In proclaiming the Gospel I teach that Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today,
forever. I further declare that He is therefore the same Cleanser, the same Keeper,
the same Almighty Friend and Benefactor of humanity. I also declare that the
prayer of faith shall save the sick. I also declare that the Scriptures declare that
these signs shall follow them that believe: in my name they shall lay hands on the
sick and they shall recover. I declare that until a man has quit his sins, he cannot
be healed; until he has repented of his sins, and made restoration for wrong
against his fellow man, and made things right with God. I further declare that
repentance toward God must be followed by faith in our Lord Jesus Christ, and
that salvation is precedent to healing. I persistently and continually refuse to see

84

JOHN ALEXANDER DOWIE

A LIFE STORY OF TRIALS, TRAGEDIES AND TRIUMPHS

persons, no matter how much money they offer me, who are not saved. I always
say to persons like the learned counsel here, chewing and spitting it out on the
floor, you are sinning by defiling your bodies. I call them stinkpots. I say to them
that you may call yourself a Christian; but you do not smell like one. You have no
right to ask me to ask God to heal you, whilst you are creating disease by your bad
practices.
We are commanded to anoint the sick in the name of the Lord. (James 5:14-15)
Many have been healed by my touch. I do not allow the word treat to be used. If I
wanted to treat, I should say that I treated; but simply object to the word and I
have objected not only now, but at all times and under all circumstances for twenty
years. I have simply prayed with the sick as a minister of the Gospel of Jesus
Christ. If the Lord Jesus Christ should appear in Chicago today laying hands on the
sick as He did nineteen centuries ago, He could be indicted and brought before the
court and charged with violation of the State Board of Health Act. This is the first
time in all my ministry that I have ever been charged with violating any medical
practice act.
Judge Prineville was patently hostile to Dr. Dowie, and the issue was foreseen from
the beginning. The judge rendered a decision on the fifth day of the trial which
called for a hundred dollar fine in favor of the plaintiff. Dr. Dowie refused to pay,
and Attorney Williams presented an order committing him to prison. An appeal
was made to the County Court and the defendant gave a bond for two hundred
dollars. The case of the State Board of Health against Mrs. Jeanie Dowie was then
called. Dr. Dowie demanded a change of venue and got it. In his LEAVES OF
HEALING, he had this to say concerning the attempt to prosecute his wife:
Truly the vendors of poison and pills, and the hordes of surgical butchers in
Chicago are proving their cowardice in a very significant manner when they want
to fine or imprison a Christian lady for praying for the sick in the name of Jesus.
Where are the human serpents who are lower than the beasts if they are not to be
found in the skins of these degenerate creatures? Where are your mothers, your
wives, your daughters, that do not shame you from your task of persecuting a
noble and devoted wife and mother, who has devoted her life to the cause of Christ,
and the succoring of the poor and the sick, the sinful and the sorrowing? Call off,
for shames sake, the legal curs whom ye have employed to drive her into the
courts and to the prison!
As it turned out, the case against Mrs. Dowie was dropped, the prosecutor simply
failing to appear when it was called. It was evident that Dr. Dowies adversaries
had supposed that when he was called upon to pay a fine of one hundred dollars
with the possibility of having to pay a similar one each time he was called into
court, he would become discouraged and close up his Homes. They could hardly
anticipate that he would go to the trouble of appealing to a higher court, which

85

JOHN ALEXANDER DOWIE

A LIFE STORY OF TRIALS, TRAGEDIES AND TRIUMPHS

would and actually did entail expenses of thousands of dollars. It was an

understandable miscalculation upon their part, but not the only one that they were
to make in the course of events during the year.
The opposition realized that their charge that the defendant was practicing
medicine was patently phony, and though as they had foreseen, the local
magistrate who was under their thumb, had found the defendant guilty, they knew
full well, if the case should go to a higher court not under their political sway, the
decision would be immediately reversed. For this reason the case pending against
Dr. Dowie was dropped.
Though annoyed by this unexpected turn of affairs, the opposition had by no
means spent itself. They now cast around for some legal method by which they
could drive Dowie out of Chicago. But in no way could they find a law or statute
that he was violating. Following the pattern of Daniels persecutors, they sought to
have an ordinance passed by which they could get at Dowie on legal grounds. A few
days later, the conspirators persuaded the city council to pass a so-called Hospital
Ordinance. Dr. Dowie, hearing about it, sent word that such an ordinance was
unconstitutional and he would not consider himself bound to obey it. For the sake
of appearances, invocation of the Hospital Ordinance was delayed for the time.
In the meantime, the opposition explored other possibilities of effecting their
purpose of arresting Dr. Dowies work. They did succeed in securing a temporary
cancellation of his Second Class mailing privileges, which laid an extra financial
burden upon him, but could not prevent continuing the publication of his LEAVES
OF HEALING, the story of which is told in a succeeding chapter.

CHAPTER XVIII

ARRESTED ONE HUNDRED TIMES!

Spring in the year 1895 had appeared but a little over a month, when one morning
Dr. Dowie, upon opening his personal mail, found a brief letter from the
Commissioner of Health. With the letter was an application blank to be filled out.
From the contents of the letter, it was evident that the so-called Hospital
Ordinance was now to be invoked! If Dr. Dowie failed to fill out the enclosed form
and return it to the Commissioner, he could be arrested and charged with breaking
the law. The letter read as follows:
Chicago, May 1, 1895
To the Responsible Head of International Healing home for the Sick,
Enclosed please find printed blank for application for permit required, by
ordinance of January 28, 1898, for the conduct and maintenance of any place
used for the reception or care, temporary or continuous, of the sick, injured or
dependent, including women waiting confinement, or used for the treatment of
mental or physical disease or bodily injury. See copy of ordinance on back hereof.
Arthur R. Reynolds, M.D.
Commissioner of Health
Arthur Reynolds, Esq., M. D. May 9, 1895
Dr. Dowie's reply follows:
Commissioner of Health
Dear Sir:
The Divine Healing Homes are not hospitals in any sense of the word. No
medicine is used. No treatment is given. No nurses are provided and there are
none of the arrangements of a hospital. The Home in which I personally reside is
my own private home and all the inmates are treated as my private guests. Services
of praise and prayer and teaching of the word of God are held at least twice daily in
the large assembly room when I gather the guests of three Homes and pray with
them in accordance with the direction of our Lord Jesus Christ in St. Mark: These
signs shall follow them that believe; in my name they shall lay hands on the sick

87

JOHN ALEXANDER DOWIE

A LIFE STORY OF TRIALS, TRAGEDIES AND TRIUMPHS

and they shall recover. Nothing more is done in these Homes than may be done
by every Christian minister in the homes of his people, or even by Christian people
in their own homes without the presence of a minister.
Divine healing has no association with doctors and drugs, or surgeons and their
knives. Thousands and tens of thousands of persons have within the last two years,
passed through these Homes and Zion Tabernacle with its healing rooms, and a
vast number have been wonderfully healed, even of the incurably sick who have
been abandoned by all physicians.
A long series of persecutions has already resulted in nothing but shame to the
persecutors and without injury to Gods work. If this is to be taken as the first
movement in a new series of persecutions, all that I have to say is that we shall, by
all lawful means, resist the cruel endeavors of self interested men to destroy the
work of God and to keep back the sick, and the sorrowing from Christ as their
Healer and Comforter. It is a pitiful sight to see the State Board of Health and the
City Health Department moving against a good work at the instance of a lying
press and a concealed band of interested doctors who feel that their craft is in
danger because of tens of thousands of persons who are abandoning medicine and
seeking and finding healing through faith in Jesus Christ. .
I am, Very Respectfully,
John Alexander Dowie
Dr. Dowie had not long to wait before the second storm burst upon him in its fury.
On June 14, 1895, just as he was ready to conduct an afternoon service at his
tabernacle, four men were at his door to serve a warrant for his arrest, on a charge
of violation of Section Six of the new Hospital Ordinance. Dr. Dowie took two of
his people and went down to the Hyde Park Police Station. The Justice was not
there and the lock-up keeper was about to thrust him into a cell. Dr. Dowie
demanded that he at once be permitted to see the officer in charge of the station.
Upon this, the keeper reluctantly agreed to permit him to remain at the desk. Soon
a justice appeared and a bond of two hundred dollars was presented, and Mr.
Dowie was permitted to go.
Actually the one who had sworn out the warrant was a spy, by the name of Zach J.
Kehoe, who had come as a guest to the Home, having been hired as a detective by
the opposition. During his brief residence in the Home, he had furtively avoided
meeting Dr. Dowie. A private individual had uncovered these facts and
communicated the information to the doctor just as he left the station house.
Apparently the opposition discovered that Dr. Dowie had learned that the man
who had sworn out the warrant was a spy. At any rate when he went to the Court
on the following morning, the prosecution failed to show up.

88

JOHN ALEXANDER DOWIE

A LIFE STORY OF TRIALS, TRAGEDIES AND TRIUMPHS

Now it was at this point that the plan of the persecution began to emerge. Dowies
adversaries, having not a little respect for his skill in defending himself, and not
certain that they could get a verdict to stick, were recruiting a band of stooges who
would swear out warrants by mass production, as it were, which were to be served
in succession. By this method, if by no other way, they hoped to wear him out, so
that sooner or later, through sheer exhaustion, he would be compelled to give up
the fight.
On the next day, Dr. Dowie was again summoned with a warrant, this time in a
most unpleasant manner. In the paragraphs following, he gives an account of the
events attending the arrest:
ARRESTED FOR THE SECOND TIME WITHIN TWO DAYS
Whilst we were engaged in praying for the sick about 8 oclock this evening in the
Healing Room of Zion Tabernacle No. 2, the Hyde Park Police Patrol Wagon drove
up to the door, and a number of police officers entered the building. Finding that
the editor was engaged with the sick they were shown into our private room, next
door to the Healing Room, and when we entered an officer read a warrant for our
arrest. It was issued at the instance of one of our neighbors, Mr. Geo. W. Riggs,
225 61st street, whose home is within a few yards of the Tabernacle, charging us
with the offense of maintaining an hospital without a permit. This was the same
charge on which we had been arrested the previous day, and to answer which we
had appeared at the Police Court this morning.
It was at once apparent from the insolent and brutal tones and conduct of the
officers that every particle of indignity possible would be shown to us.
We were rudely informed that the wagon was waiting, and when we asked to be
permitted to go down to the Police Station in a private carriage which was at the
door, we were rudely refused. We induced one officer to telephone to his superior
at the Police Station for permission to ride there as we had requested, and after
reference, this was also refused by Inspector Hunt, the officer informing us that
the Inspector had sent the wagon for that purpose. Our good wife who wished to
accompany us in the wagon was roughly spoken to and pushed aside and told that
the wagon was for officers and prisoners only, and yet at that very moment the
Tribune reporter who so much reminds one of Poes Raven, stepped into the
wagon. We called attention to that fact, and were rudely answered and pushed by
the brutal man who conducted the wagon.
It was now nearly dark; but the wagon was driven with clanging of bells around
the little residence block in which our Divine Healing Homes and the houses of our
local enemies are situated in Edgerton Avenue, the object being apparently to
make a parade of me as a prisoner.

89

JOHN ALEXANDER DOWIE

A LIFE STORY OF TRIALS, TRAGEDIES AND TRIUMPHS

This was quite out of the way for the wagon, and was evidently a part of the
instructions which the Inspector had given at the instance of the vile man who
swore out the false charge. We were followed by the carriage containing our good
wife and son, and a number of our friends who were ready to become our
bondsmen.
The wagon was driven westward on 60th street, alter leaving Edgerton Avenue,
the proper route being directly northward on Stony Island Avenue, and then, after
crossing the Midway Plaisance it was driven rapidly eastward, and in and out
through various streets, the object being apparently to get away from the carriage
in which our friends were following.
Where that wagon might have gone and what might have been done with its one
solitary prisoner no one can tell but God, had the two horsed carriage which was
following us, not been driven up rapidly and close behind, after having been out of
sight for several blocks. We heard the policemens muttered expressions of rage
when they found that the wagon was in full view of the pursuing party of friends.
At last, it dashed into the stables of the Police Station, and we were roughly told to
go that way, and taken at once into the cells, where we were booked, searched for
concealed weapons, so the man said that thrust his hands into our pockets, and
then almost pushed into a cell, with ribald criminals in the next compartment for
companions, and told we were to stay there until the Judge saw fit to release us.
Of course when our friends entered by the front door of the Station, we were
already behind the prison bars. Eventually of course, Mr. Justice Quinn, whom we
were assured was waiting in his office could not be found. Mrs. Dowie and friends
started out on a search for him at his residence, but he could not be found there.
However, when the officers of the prison knew that our attorney had been
telegraphed for, Justice Quinn suddenly appeared, and was compelled to accept
one of the many bondsmen amongst our friends who were waiting to offer
themselves; for by this time there were a score or two of our friends who had
gathered at the station, and there were more gathering every minute.
It was therefore time for Justice Quinn to appear, as the likelihood of our being
kept in cells all night was likely to be frustrated:
for sooner or later some justice would be sure to be found who would accept bail.
Hence, with a bland smile, Mr. Quinn appeared and accepted bonds. We asked if
there were any more warrants out for our arrest that night, and were told that he
knew of no more.
Comment upon these facts is needless.

90

JOHN ALEXANDER DOWIE

A LIFE STORY OF TRIALS, TRAGEDIES AND TRIUMPHS

Now the question is where are these things to end?

One thing is certain, by the grace of God we shall continue our work where we are,
until the time comes for us to remove to our Zion, outside of the city, from which
we can do better work for Chicago, and even in Chicago. There are not demons
enough in Chicago, let alone in Edgerton Avenue and its neighborhood, to drive us
sway, until we are ready to go. God is mightily with us, and we shall prevail
through faith in Jesus Christ our Lord.
On the following week-end, Saturday, June 22, there were seven warrants issued
for Dr. Dowies arrest. He learned from the justice, to whom he presented bond,
that actually 37 warrants had been issued altogether, and that they were to be
served in batches of ten the following day! The purpose was ostensibly, to prevent
his preaching at the three services on the Lords Day. Fortunately, the justice
allowed him to give bail, and his adversaries plans for the next day were thwarted.
Persecution in that manner went on until the total number of warrants for arrest
had reached no less than a hundred! On one occasion he was thrown into the
wagon where smallpox patients had been, in hopes he would get small pox. On
more than one occasion John Alexander Dowie was arrested on his own platform
and roughly taken to the Police Station. But those of the opposition were becoming
exasperated, for although they had succeeded in getting all these warrants served,
yet they saw they were not attaining their objective. As soon as a verdict was
secured in the petty court, Dr. Dowie would appeal to a higher court where in every
instance the sentence was reversed. Of more serious import of which the
persecutors themselves were becoming aware was the fact that public opinion was
beginning to turn against them.
In certain ways the persecution had worked a serious hardship on Dr. Dowie,
causing him to find it necessary to work late at night in order to fulfill his
necessary duties. But the opposition while succeeding in giving him all the trouble
of the arrests and other vexations, had little idea that their persecution would
eventually give Dr. Dowie the opportunity to put on court record, the great
healings that were taking place. But that is exactly what happened! To the dismay
of the prosecution, the judge ruled that such testimonies should be accepted as
part of the evidence. Bitter as their hatred of Dr. Dowie was, those of the
opposition were intelligent enough to realize that the amazing documentation of
these miracles of healings in court was of such a nature as to place those of the
persecution in a most unfavorable light before the people. Moreover, they noted
with increasing alarm that more and more of the respected and solid citizens of the
city, including lawyers, professional men, police officers, judges, and city officials
were coming to have confidence in the work that Dr. Dowie was doing.

91

JOHN ALEXANDER DOWIE

A LIFE STORY OF TRIALS, TRAGEDIES AND TRIUMPHS

Hour after hour, testimonies of miraculous healings were presented in a Cook

County Superior Court. A jammed courtroom listened with intense interest to the
affidavits as they were being read. Dr. Dowie had this to say concerning the
presentation of the affidavits:
This is probably the first time that Divine healing has been demonstrated in this
manner and for this opportunity, we have to thank our adversaries. Not one of
these affidavits has been impugned, either by our opponents or by their allies in
the Chicago press. As long as the Archives of the Court shall be preserved, these
affidavits will be found upon its files. It was evident that the reading of them
impressed the judge, and the ill-concealed fears and hatred of the opposing
counsel could not be covered by the sneering laugh which occasionally broke from
his lips. But there was no sneer upon the lips of other persons, except for the few
enemies of God and of this work, present. As the reading went on hour after hour,
it was evident that incredulity and surprise were giving away to genuine interest,
and the fact was being steadily established under oath, in a Superior Court of law,
that Jesus Christ is the same Healer in wicked Chicago in this present day as in
wicked Jerusalem and Capernaum nineteen centuries ago.
The affidavits are cool statements under oath of persons of all conditions of
society business men, lawyers, doctors, workmen, honest Christian men and
women of all occupations well-nigh. Who has the right to declare them false? Even
our enemies dare not enter upon proof that they are. If they are false, every one
who has sworn to them can be punished f or perjury and they know it.
The opposition was fast losing its thunder and, chagrined at the developments, was
now looking for a way of retreat, but was not finding it. There was an added jarring
note to the disappointment. Popular opinion, once in its favor, was turning toward
a sympathy for the persecuted preacher, and even the fickle newspapers told the
persecutors that they had better call it quits. A few more cases pending went to the
superior court, where the verdict was reversed or the case thrown out of court.
Finally, the so-called Hospital Ordinance was declared unconstitutional, and that
decision practically ended effective opposition. Not long after, the police force that
had treated him rather shabbily, were to become his friends, and later on, even
went out of the city to rescue him from the hands of assassins who laid wait for
him at Hammond, Indiana.
But before we close the story of the Great Persecution we must relate something of
how his enemies tried to suppress the publication of the LEAVES OF HEALING by
influencing the Chicago Post Office to revoke his Second Class mailing privileges,
and how Dr. Dowie eventually won that battle also.

92

CHAPTER XIX

BANISHMENT OF THE LITTLE WHITE DOVE

DURING the year 1894, Dr. Dowie began the publication of a weekly periodical
called THE LEAVES OF HEALING, which he fondly spoke of, as THE LITTLE
WHITE DOVE. There had been some earlier issues published at more or less
irregular intervals, but in 1894, it became a regular publication, and through it Dr.
Dowies sermons and writings became available to readers all over the world.
Needless to say, its editor never minced words, and without a care for
consequences, he denounced sin and wickedness in high places and low, with a
force and vehemence that was sure to incur the wrath of many, though at the same
time rapidly increasing the circulation of his LEAVES OF HEALING publication.
John Alexander Dowies persecutors, in casting about for ways and means by
which they could hamper and embarrass his work, learned of this new publication.
That acquaintance came under unpleasant circumstances, for in scanning the
pages, they discovered that Dr. Dowie, master of the invective, had exposed their
illegal persecution in terms exceedingly uncomplimentary to themselves. This
naturally left them in a most unhappy frame of mind. It occurred to them it would
be highly gratifying if they could prevent the publication from being sent through
the mails. This they rightly judged might best be accomplished by securing
revocation of Second Class mailing privileges for to be denied these privileges
would immediately increase the costs of mailing some fourteen timesa serious, if
not disastrous blow, to any publication struggling to get established. The
conspirators soon found that they had a willing ally in the Chicago Postmaster,
who being Catholic, had only to read one of Dr. Dowies frank articles on the
subject of Papal infallibility to be persuaded to send him the following letter:
ACTION TO CUT OFF MAILING PRIVILEGES
Sir:
At the time your paper was entered at the post office, it complied with the law and
was accepted by the department; since then, it has been changed and is now
recognized by us as an advertising sheet. We will demand of you a deposit of third
class postage on future mail, pending decision of the department.
Postmaster, Chicago, Ill.

93

JOHN ALEXANDER DOWIE

A LIFE STORY OF TRIALS, TRAGEDIES AND TRIUMPHS

Dr. Dowie sent the post office the following reply:

Mr. Postmaster Chicago, Ill.

Dear Sir:
Your memorandum of yesterday received. In reply, I beg to say,
First: The character of our paper has not changed in the slightest degree since
the first issue, upon which and upon later issues that permission was granted by
the Postmaster General to send it forth as second class matter.
Second: It is in no sense an advertising sheet. In fact, any one can see at a glance
we have refused all advertisements, and only one column out of thirty-two is given
to announcements concerning meetings in our mission.
Third: With reference to your demand for a deposit for third class postage on
future mailing pending a decision of the department, I am, of course, powerless to
dispute any such demand any more than I could a demand for my money at the
point of a revolver. I consider your action is disgraceful in the extreme, and is
simply a part of the disgraceful persecution which I am receiving at this time in the
city of Chicago. I emphatically declare and shall prove to the Postmaster General
that your allegation as to the character of this paper is entirely unfounded, and that
your present action can only arise from the desire to please the press of this city,
which is filled daily with absolute falsehoods concerning ourselves.
Very Respectfully yours,
John Alexander Dowie

The Chicago Post Office, of course, turned a deaf ear to Dr. Dowies entreaties for
restoration of Second Class mailing privileges, without which it was necessary to
pay fourteen times the postage fee he had been paying. Dowie did not resign
himself to the situation, but at once requested all his subscribers to send petitions
to the Postmaster General at Washington, D. C., and moreover enlisted the
sympathy of several Congressmen to send protests to the department. Finally,
upon invitation from the Postmaster General, he made the journey to Washington,
D. C., where he was in conference with that gentleman for an hour and a half.
It is interesting to note that as usual, Dr. Dowie not only presented his own case,
but got in a few licks at the work of the devil besides. In this instance, he brought

to the Postmaster Generals attention some of the lewd, lascivious literature that
was circulating in Chicago, and using Second Class mailing privileges. Dr. Dowies
account of his trip to Washington was as follows:
We took occasion to show the Postmaster General some of the immoral and
obscene publications which the Chicago Postmaster allows to pass through the
mails at Second Class rates, and his remark was, as his face flushed with
indignation, It is not a question as to whether such papers should be allowed to
pass through at Second Class rates, but whether they should not be denied the
privilege of passing trough the mails at all. Perhaps the enemies of God and of all
purity who persecute our LEAVES OF HEALING may find that it has led to results
which they have little expected. We will not pollute these pages with the names or
quotations from the vile sheets to which we refer, but we think that there is a
gentleman in charge of the United States Post Office who will not permit the mails
to be used for the promulgation of the vile announcements of houses of ill-fame,
etc.
We desire to thank the many friends in the Capitol, and in every part of the
country who are determined to see that justice is done. Final and complete victory
will be the Lords. At the same time, our experience goes to show that there are
powers of evil at work in this nation that are difficult to overcome: for when an
injustice is wrought, it is difficult to reverse the decisions of persons in official
positions when they are backed by party politics.
Joseph Dunlop, editor of the CHICAGO DISPATCH, and leading figure in the
persecution had no idea that when Dr. Dowie went to Washington, D. C., the
handwriting was on the wall as far as he was concerned. Nor did Dowie himself
anticipate the seriousness with which the Postmaster General was to take his
revelations of Dunlops scandalous conduct of his newspaper. Dunlop had resorted
to blackmail and other nefarious practices, and because he was sheltered by local
politics, had managed for a long time to evade the arm of the law. However, the
post office department was not awed by him as were the city politicians, who
perhaps were more or less glad to see the government step in and deal with the
man whose wickedness and perfidy was despised by the entire city. Eventually
tried in U. S. Courts, and proven guilty, Joseph Dunlop was sent to the Joliet
penitentiary, his influence and career ended forever in Chicago. It must have been
a bitter blow to this man, that when his own evil persecution had failed in its
purpose, and when Dowie was exonerated of all charges against him, he should be
found guilty and sentenced to the state prison. The September 20, 1896, issue of
the CHICAGO TIMES-HERALD carried the following report of his conviction:

JOSEPH DUNLOP ARRAIGNED

Washington, Sept. 20A severe attack on Joseph R. Dunlop, who was the editor
and publisher of the CHICAGO DISPATCH, is made in the annual report of the
Fourth Assistant Postmaster General. He declared: There is no more contemptible
member of society than the professional blackmailer. Joseph R. Dunlop, the editor
and publisher of the CHICAGO DISPATCH, by this sort of journalism earned for
himself contempt and bitter hatred, and at the same time cleared a handsome
fortune. His paper was published solely for money, and he pandered to the most
depraved tastes to attain his ends. Constantly did he transgress the laws of decency
in his publication. He, however, made a fatal mistake when he undertook to
prostitute the United States mail service to his nefarious purposes by making it a
carrier for his objectionable and obscene publication, and when criminal
proceedings were made against him in the United States courts, which resulted in
his conviction and sentence to the penitentiary for two years and to pay a fine of
$2000 and costs, there was much rejoicing among the better elements of society in
those localities where his blackmailing medium had been circulated.
Although the Postmaster General had acknowledged Dr. Dowies right to have
Second Class privileges restored to his LEAVES OF HEALING, as is often the case
in Washington, D. C., red-tape and other political expediencies retarded the
dispensation of justice. The administration then in office was soon to be
superseded by the McKinley administration, and during the change, Dr. Dowies
plea got shelved in the labyrinth of pigeon-holes in Washington. After the new
administration had time to get established in office, Dr. Dowie again petitioned
Washington for redress in the wrongs committed against his Little White Dove.
His petition was favorably received, and he not only met with the post office
officials in Washington, D. C., but was granted an interview with President
McKinley. It is startling to note in Dr. Dowies account, how his keen eye
immediately discerned that President McKinley was not properly guarded, and
with strange prophetic insight, practically predicted what actually took place
laterthe death of McKinley by assassination.
Dr. Dowies mission in Washington was successful and we will let him tell the
interesting story of events that took place, and how THE LEAVES OF HEALING
was freed from the burden of unjust postage, and restored to the privileges of
Second Class mail:
DR. DOWIE RELATES HIS TRIP TO WASHINGTON, D. C.
I am very grateful to God during my twelve days absence to Washington that I
have so much to thank God for in connection with that visit. I was completely
victorious and thank God for it. Without going into a great many details, I want to
say that I am indebted to Postmaster Gary for his courtesy, whom I saw twice. It

96

JOHN ALEXANDER DOWIE

A LIFE STORY OF TRIALS, TRAGEDIES AND TRIUMPHS

puzzled the Attorney General to know how the department had acted against us
without cause.
I told him the Story of Washington Hesing, whom we washed (put out of office) so
completely lately. I told him the story of Dunlop who had fought us for a year or
two, and whom the Lord has put where we can find him for the next two years. It
was a peculiar coincidence that my previous visit to Washington was to call
Postmaster General Wilsons attention to the wrong then done, and I took down
with me a copy of the DISPATCH. It was the first copy Mr. Wilson had ever seen,
and I said, Mr. Wilson, I want my paper liberated, but whatever you do, I want
this paper thrown out of the mails; this infamous paper that gives the address and
the advertisement of the harlots homes of Chicago; the gamblers hells of Chicago.
Mr. Wilson looked at me. He said, You do not say that this is going through the
mails in Chicago? I answered, I do; but if you, Mr. Wilson are going to do right, it
will not. He said, God helping me, it will not go through the mails. I will see that
it goes out and its publisher is punished.
That is the only good thing I ever knew him to do, but he did it. He handed it over
to proper authorities, and from that moment they went for the DISPATCH, and the
result was, as you remember, that Dunlop was indicted before the Federal Court
here. If I remember correctly, there were 4,500 separate distinct charges of
publishing obscene and vicious and unclean advertisements, and of course he was
found guilty, and is now in the States prison at Joliet for the term of two years.
I told the Attorney General the story of Mayor Swift, and his fight against me.
Nobody knows where to find him now, and his administration. I am told he is
growing pineapples in Florida.
I said, No adequate reason was ever given for refusing Second Class rates to the
LEAVES OF HEALING. I said, The records do not show why it was refused, and
all that I can tell you is this:
You look into an old Book which contains Eternal Law, and the Everlasting Gospel,
and you will find it written there of One Whom I humbly serve, and They hated
him without a cause, and this Little White Dove was hated without a cause,
excepting the cause for which the Master himself was hated.
Yes, he said, looking at me very earnestly, I can see how this might happen;
because there is one of two things. Either one has to believe it, or else look upon it
as a mass of abominable lying, or humbug.
Well all that is passed, and the Attorney General gave a decision, as a matter of
law, entirely in my favor, to the Third Assistant Postmaster General Thomas. I was

97

JOHN ALEXANDER DOWIE

A LIFE STORY OF TRIALS, TRAGEDIES AND TRIUMPHS

introduced to him and found him a very pleasant gentleman. He took a little time
to consider it, and then gave a perfect decision in my favor.
About the time I got through all my fighting I received a very kind letter from the
Executive Mansion, and the White House, and I then waited upon the President; J.
Addison Porter, his secretary, was very kind, and arranged that I should see the
President privately.
Of course there are many thousands of callers upon the President, and a great
majority of them have to be seen publicly, just as they pass to shake hands; that is
inseparable from any person who has a large number of persons to see. But the
President on Friday afternoon, although engaged with Attorney-General McKenna,
who is the political head of the Law Department, apparently on important
business, was kind enough when he knew that I was in attendance, to inform his
messenger to bring me in, and I had a very pleasant talk with Mr. McKinley, not
very long but very pleasant. The Attorney General retired to another part of the
room, and I had a few words with the President. He was kind and very cordial. He
has a very engaging manner, and is a very dignified gentleman. He holds your
hand, or did mine, in a rather soft hand, and he has a way of emphasizing his
pleasure in what he says as he holds your hand, by just a little pressure.
As I said to the President We feel that the best thing that we can do for you is to
pray God to sustain you in your high office, and enable you to administer it for
good. He grasped my hand just a little tighter and said, Thank you Doctor, and I
know these prayers will do me much good.
I saw a great deal of Washington, but I cannot enter into it fully just now, but I tell
you one thing, the great army of office seekers are getting desperate. The President
is very quietly and steadfastly going about his work. He is not allowing himself to
be agitated or moved by mere consideration of party.
But I can understand now better how Guiteau murdered President Garfield, as I
saw the look in the eyes of some of these disappointed office-seekers who were
hanging around the White House, a look of hatred because they were not getting
what they wanted. One man who had a soldierly bearing, a poor fellow, had one
arm off, had evidently thought that the fact that he was a soldier in the army, and
possibly an officer of some rank, entitled him as an absolute right to this, that, or
the other thing. And that man spoke in such a tone of bitterness when he was told
that the President had refused to see him that I could not help remarking about it,
as he ground his teeth and said. He will have to see me, or I will know the reason
why, and put his hand upon his hip pocket. I saw that it would not take very much
to draw out a revolver and use it. I can stand why Mr. Cleveland protected himself,
and all I ought to say about that is, I think President McKinley ought to protect
himself a little bit more than he does.

98

JOHN ALEXANDER DOWIE

A LIFE STORY OF TRIALS, TRAGEDIES AND TRIUMPHS

I feel that we ought to pray for President McKinley we ought to pray that God will
guard his life among other things, as well as give him wisdom. It is no simple thing
to be in the White House. No man need covet that place. It is a place of
tremendous responsibility, and gross ingratitude is shown on all sides.

CHAPTER XX

SIGNS, WONDERS, AND MIRACLES

PERSECUTION was no new word in John Alexander Dowies vocabulary. He had

met it constantly almost from the beginning of his ministry. But whereas before,
the outcome had been defeat and disappointment, this time the battle had resulted
in glorious victory. What made the difference? The answer stands out boldly. This
time he had discovered and had used the tools that God had provided for defense
against the kind of foe arraigned against him. Signs, wonders, miracles! They were
now occurring in such profusion that the hosts of hell and their human dupes were
being put to confusion. In the Great Commission given by Christ in Mark 16, the
signs following were to be the credentials of the believer. And when these take
place, the people are quick and willing to recognize the authority of the minister.
Despite all the flood of persecution that followed him, the people flocked to Dr.
Dowies standard in ever-increasing numbers.
The hundred affidavits testifying to healing presented in the Superior Court
affidavits of the healing of prominent citizens such as Amanda Hicks a first cousin
of Abraham Lincoln, and Miss Jean Harrison, a niece of President Harrison, not to
mention many others of note, were a revelation to the city of Chicago and
confounded the opposition. The testimonies were so highly documented that
citizens perceived that the possibility of fraud was not to be seriously entertained.
We cannot tell of the multitude of healings that were daily taking place, for Dr.
Dowie often prayed for as many as a thousand people a week. But our story would
not be complete unless we related a few of the outstanding instances of the healing
of people, some who were well-known persons of that time, and whose deliverance
was the wonder of thousands. One such case was the healing of Sadie Cody, niece
of Buffalo Bill. We gather the story of this from an early issue of the LEAVES OF
HEALING. It is told partly in the words of Dr. Dowie, and partly in the dramatic
testimony of Sadie Cody:
THE STORY OF THE HEALING OF SADIE CODY,
NIECE OF BUFFALO BILL
The name of Colonel W. F. Cody, Buffalo Bill, is known throughout Europe and
America, as that of a daring, dashing soldier, Indian scout, proprietor and
conductor of The Wild West Show. Kings, princes, and millions of people have
seen and heard the remarkable spectacle of American Indians and rough riders

100

JOHN ALEXANDER DOWIE

A LIFE STORY OF TRIALS, TRAGEDIES AND TRIUMPHS

of the world in that show. Sunday and week day alike it was our misery to be
compelled to hear the yells of the Indians and the shouts of tens of thousands of
spectators in the great amphitheater constructed for that show, throughout the
whole period of the Worlds Fair: for Zion Tabernacle was exactly opposite on the
other side of 62nd Street. Oh what agonies we suffered all these long months. In
defiance of law, the Sunday was the maddest, wildest day of all the week: for the
mayor and the police authorities protected Cody in his disobedience to the laws of
God and man. There was no rest for us or anyone near the howling hideous cries of
Indians who massacred Custer and his cavalry or attacked the stage coach.
Whilst reading or praying, showers of small shot would fall on the tabernacle, or
the strains of the Wild West band playing Marseillaise or Yankee Doodle would
break forth, in on our hymns.
For six long months Zion Tabernacle floated the flag, Christ Is All, and held
almost daily meetings amidst all this diabolical din. In front was Codys Wild West,
behind us the Midway Plaisance with its carnival of lust, on the left the Vanity Fair
of the world, the flesh and the devil, and around us thieves and gamblers and
shouting hucksters of every kind. But Zion Tabernacle held its own, though the
crowds swept on to pleasure and pain. And now the Dream City has departed
amidst blood and fire and smoke, and all the transient hosts of human vampires
have disappeared, their haunts swept away, and Zion Tabernacle and homes are
left amidst the most peaceful and pleasant surroundings, untouched by the hatred
of the hellish host who impotently howl at them from the Habitations of
Dragons, in the center of Chicago, seven miles away.
But what of this quiet, earnest-faced young woman of twenty five years, who
stands there patiently waiting to tell her story. Ah! She is a Cody; a relative of
Buffalo Bill Cody, and we have had our revenge on him and the Wild West show!
He captured Indians and hung their scalps at his belt. We have captured a Cody
from the murderous demons of disease, and here she stands as a witness for God,
testifying in the very place where Codys Indians massacred Custer daily.
On November 21st last, four men bearing a cot came out of a house in Rensselaer,
Indiana, and lying on that cot, in mortal agony was this witness, Sadie Cody.
Following the mournful cortege were a number of relatives and friends including
her father and sisters, who were told by the drug defenders, Sadie Cody will be
brought back a corpse.
Transferred to a Pullman sleeping car, she was brought to Chicago, where the
police ambulance received her, and in it she was carried to the Divine Healing
Home, accompanied by her sister.
It is a wonderful story to simply contrast this picture with the sorrowing cortege
which passed through the streets nearby four months ago, bearing her prostrate

quivering body, with a diseased spine, abscess, tumor, internal disorders, and her
right leg three inches shorter than the left. There she standsGods witness,
justifying Him and justifying His servant, in that every one of these miseries have
passed away through the power of God, in answer to the prayer of faith and the
laying on of hands in the name of Jesus
SADIE CODYS TESTIMONY STENOGRAPHICALLY REPORTED:
I have touched the hem of His garment, and I stand before you free. A year ago
last September I was taken sick at the Worlds Fair. Nine months ago I became
perfectly helpless. I was attended by four physicians and my uncle, Dr. David
(brother to Buffalo Bill) an eminent physician in this city. They decided that
nothing could be done except put me in a plaster-of-Paris cast. Five of my
vertebrae were worse than useless, and an abscess as large as my fist was at the
base of my spine; a large swelling was developing into a tumor; my limb was three
inches short; and in that condition I was brought to Chicago. The day that they
were to put the cast upon me, one of the physicians was called away by a telegrama providential interruption. That same day a copy of the LEAVES OF HEALING
fell upon my bed. ... I was brought to Chicago, and Dr. Dowie prayed for me. After
he had laid hands on me in the name of the Lord, there commenced a great
struggle, as if something inside of me that held my breath, were tearing itself away.
It seemed to me as if I went to sleep, but immediately almost I awokeand what a
blessed awakening; I felt new life in me. There was no pain and no aching; I had
really awoke to health.
From that moment I have been rapidly improving, and now I stand before you
with both limbs of equal length, my spine which could not be touched with a finger
without me fainting can now be rubbed as hard as anyone can rub it; the swelling
from the abscess and the tumor are gone. I cannot find words to praise the Lord
for what He has done for me. I will give Him my lifes service, but that is small
compared with what He has done. I consider Dr. Dowie the greatest blessing God
ever sent to Chicago, and I hope Chicago will appreciate it.
DR. DOWIE. And so I have had my revenge on Buffalo Bill in a very nice way,
through the healing of one of his relatives, Sadie Cody, being healed through our
agency.

THE HEALING OF MISS AMANDA M. HICKS,

COUSIN OF ABRAHAM LINCOLN
Carried four hundred miles on a bed, in intense agony, and healed in a moment,
was the story of the healing of Amanda Hicks, cousin to President Abraham
Lincoln. She was carried from her home in Clinton, Kentucky, where for a number
of years she had been President of Clinton College. The cot was made by one of her
pupils, after measuring the width of the door of a Pullman sleeping car, so that she
might be carried in and transferred to bed, since she could not be lifted.
Weeping, and fearing that they should see her face no more, her scholars and
friends bade her a sad farewell. On January 30, she reached Chicago, and was
brought in an ambulance to a room on Ellis Avenue. Her companion, leaving at
once to inquire for Dr. Dowie, and locating him, told how Miss Hicks had suffered
paroxysms of pain, for long months, night and day, and had been only temporarily
relieved by large doses of morphine. Physicians failed to diagnose the case, saying
it was wrapped in mystery. The lady further explained that they had been
impressed to come to Dr. Dowie after a young student, very skeptical concerning
the miracles of the Bible, had come to Chicago to investigate Divine healing and
was so impressed that he returned to Clinton, Kentucky, and stood by the sick
womans bedside urging her to come. Miss Hicks, after carefully reading her Bible,
was convinced of Gods way of healing and as a result had come to Chicago.
The first thing that Dr. Dowie did was to demand that she give up morphine and
drugs at once. It was a terrific battle; Dr. Dowie and his wife visited her from time
to time, from mid-afternoon until midnight, fighting against the terrible power of
the morphine drug. Dr. Dowie describes the battle in the following words:
We saw that she must be removed to our home, if we were to help her effectually,
and to be used of God in the healing. The case was one of the gravest and most
immediate peril. Death hovered hungrily over its expected victim, and Satan hoped
to destroy a noble and useful life, which longed only to live for Christ and
humanity. Therefore, we took the risk of having her removed on a bitterly cold day,
with the frozen snow lying deeply on the ground. But disease was to be the victim
and Christ was to be the Victor in the fight. That day, we prayed, and laid our
hands upon her in the name of Jesus. In a moment, the terrible agony of months
departed, and later in the evening she rose and walked freely. Several days of
cleansing followed, gallons of cancerous matter passing away, and she was reduced
by six inches in circumference. Strength came quickly, good appetite, good food,
and above all the infinitely good God, gave her power to go out and to walk even in
the snow.
THE CLINTON DEMOCRAT OF MARCH 8, 1894, gives further interesting details
of the healing:

103

JOHN ALEXANDER DOWIE

A LIFE STORY OF TRIALS, TRAGEDIES AND TRIUMPHS

More than four months ago, Miss A. M. Hicks, President of Clinton College, was
attacked by a malignant disease, which defied the best efforts of several skilled
physicians to extirpate it. During those weary days, certain friends of Miss Hicks
began to tell her of the Divine Healer, Dr. Dowie, of Chicago, and to urge her to go
to him. At first she would scarcely listen to these advisers, but she couldnt wholly
repel them. She read upon the subject and studied her Bible, and at last yielded an
assent to go to Chicago.
It seemed out of question to undertake such a journey, but deadening her
sensibilities with opiates, she was assisted on a couch in the train, where she was
made as comfortable as possible in a sleeping car berth. Thus Miss Hicks began
her fateful journey. When she arrived, and her companion had visited Dr. Dowie,
he informed her that she must take no more morphine. That next day, Thursday,
she had a terrible struggleas she said, a hand-to-hand struggle with the devil
and when her poor pain-wracked body, about midnight on Thursday night, had
reached the very pinnacle of human misery, Dr. Dowie and his wife again came to
her and prayed that she might be permitted to sleep and that her pain might cease.
Relief came to her, she asserts, instantaneously and she fell into a sweet and gentle
sleep, from which she did not awaken until the morning.
Refreshed and with slight pain remaining, on the next day, she moved five miles
to Dr. Dowies home. The doctor then prayed for her that she might be healed, and
then told her to get up and walk. She answered him that she knew she could, and
she did so at once, crossing the room backwards and forwards four times without
the slightest inconvenience or pain. He then explained to her that though the
disease was dead, its products still remained in the body, and that the body would
be cleansed in a few days
She returned to Clinton last Saturday, and was received by a great throng of her
loved ones, with bounding hearts and warm greetings, at the depot, whence she
walked to the college - a distance of about a mile - and her step was elastic, her eye
as bright, and her carriage as erect as ever in the days before her illness.
Her testimony created an outstanding sensation, throughout all the region where
she lived, but at length, as might be expected, the false-shepherds of her
denomination, removed her from the office of president of the college she had
largely made; because she would tell the story of her healing and teach Christ as
the Healer of His people. She resigned and arranged a trip to Europe, and
wherever she went, she told the story of the great things the Lord had done for her.

THE HEALING OF DR. LILLIAN YEOMANS

Many people have heard of Dr. Lillian Yeomans, and have read her excellent books
on Divine healing, including Healing From Heaven. They have read that she was
healed of a terrible drug habit, but few know the whole story.
Lillian Yeomans came from a family of physicians. Her father was a physician and
surgeon in the Civil War. Her mother was also a physician and Lillian became a
regular physician, graduating from Ann Harbor in 1882. She was a Christian but as
she testified, she was like Peter, following afar off. Needless to say, she did not
intend to become a drug victim, but being engaged in very strenuous work,
practicing medicine and surgery, she occasionally resorted to morphine, to steady
her nerves and enable her to sleep. Then one day she made the terrible discovery
that drug had become her master, and what anguish of soul was hers when she
realized she had not power to break its grip. We shall let her tell the story, as taken
from Volume IV, page 350 of the LEAVES OF HEALING, and also from her own
book HEALING FROM HEAVEN:
When by tremendous exercise of will-power, I abstained from the drug for
twenty-four hours my condition became truly pitiable; trembling with weakness,
my whole body bathed in cold sweat, heart palpitating and fluttering, respiration
irregular, my stomach unable to retain even so much as a drop of water, intestines
racked with pain and tortured with persistent diarrhea, I was unable to stand erect,
to articulate clearly, or even to sign my name. I could not think connectedly, my
mind was filled with horrid imaginings and awful forebodings, and worst of all, my
whole being was possessed with the specific, irresistible, indescribable craving for
the drug. No one that has not felt it can imagine what it is. Every cell in your body
seems to be shrieking for it. It established a periodicity for itself in my case, and I
found that at five oclock each afternoon I had to have it.
Like a skeleton with a devil inside, one of my nurses said, and I think that her
description if not flattering, was accurate enough. My friends had lost all hope of
ever seeing me delivered, and far from urging me to give up drugs, advised me to
take them as the only means of preserving the little reason that remained to me.
They expected my wretched life to come to an early close, and really could not
desire to see so miserable an existence prolonged.
(Miss Yeomans fails to mention in her book HEALING FROM HEAVEN that she
received her deliverance under Dr. Dowies ministry, but it is true. We quote her
testimony from page 350 of LEAVES OF HEALING.)
Well my reason for coming to Zion was not that I had lost confidence in the
efficiency of means, but because it seemed to me, God told me very clearly that He
would not deliver me from this by means. God seemed to say plainly, I am the

105

JOHN ALEXANDER DOWIE

A LIFE STORY OF TRIALS, TRAGEDIES AND TRIUMPHS

Lord that heals thee, so I came down to Zion, and brought a large quantity of
morphine and chloral with me which Dr. Speicher promptly took away.
Now I am perfectly free from that craving for morphine. I have gained fully
twenty-five pounds I think, and I have a ravenous appetite. I have been sleeping
well for fully ten days, and I feel I am completely delivered from morphine and
chloral, for which I give God the praise.
HEALING OF THE SONG WRITER, REV. F. A. GRAVES
Rev. F. A. Graves, the famous songwriter, composer of THERES HONEY IN THE
ROCK, and other familiar hymns, was once a victim of the dread affliction,
epilepsy. He was an orphan boy, and added to this misfortune, he never knew what
hour during the day that he might be thrown to the floor, wallowing, foaming, and
gnashing his teeth from a spell of the epileptic demon. For twenty years he
endured this horrible suffering.
Evangelist Graves happened to attend one of Dr. Dowies meetings when he was in
Minneapolis, Minnesota. The evangelists friends had gone to Dr. Dowie and had
talked to him at length about the affliction of this evangelist-singer. The following
day, word was sent that he had met with a serious accident and was dying. Dr.
Dowie immediately got in a carriage and drove as rapidly as possible to that part of
the city where Rev. Graves was staying.
The evangelist had been taking a bath in a friends home, had shut the bath door,
and locked it. He had just filled the bath tub, which was a deep one, with water,
when he took a fit and fell over with his head in the water. The noise of his fall was
heard outside, the people of the house rushed to the door and tried to
communicate with him, but they could not. They tried to break the door down but
were not strong enough. Someone ran outside for help and a large heavy man who
was passing was summoned in. He managed to break down the door, and they got
into the room to find Mr. Graves not only suffering from a fit, but also almost
drowned from the fall in the water.
The people worked with him, brought him back to consciousness, but he suffered
from a hemorrhage, and lost a great quantity of blood. It was evident that he was
injured seriously from his fall. At that moment, Dr. Dowie arrived, and he laid
hands upon him. Immediately the flow of blood stopped. He also prayed that the
attacks of epilepsy might cease. The next day, Evangelist Graves realized that he
was delivered and rushed over to where Dr. Dowie was to tell him that be had been
healed. A few times afterward the enemy tried to take possession of him again, but
his deliverance became perfect, and for many years he testified all over the nation
of being healed from one of the most terrible forms of epilepsy.

106

JOHN ALEXANDER DOWIE

A LIFE STORY OF TRIALS, TRAGEDIES AND TRIUMPHS

After Rev. Graves healing, it seemed that God specially endued him with a gift of
song writing; a number of his hymns are still sung today, and find a place in many
hymnals.
HEALING OF THE CONGRESSMANS WIFE
Late in the year of 1895, a gentlemen came to Dr. Dowie in great distress saying, I
have one of the nicest little wives in the world, but she is dying of cancer. Can you
do anything for her? The man was Colonel W. V. Lucas, member of the last
Congress from South Dakota, and now in charge of the Old Soldiers Home. Dr.
Dowie hesitated because he knew of the fierce attacks which would be made upon
him it anything should happen to this woman before relief came to her. But with
the agreement that she was to abandon every means but faith in God, he received
her and prayed for her. Instantly the blessing of God came upon her.
Mrs. Lucas who testified of her healing on Dr. Dowies platform spoke the
following words: I want to testify, she said, to what God has done for me. I put
my whole trust in Him and He has healed me. I am a matron of the Old Soldiers
Home, and I call the old soldiers my boys, and they call me mother. A rich
harvest awaits my return; they have promised that they will turn to Christ if I come
home and tell them that He has saved me from death.
In passing, we believe that it would be in order to point out the significance that
the Healing Homes had in the ministry of John Alexander Dowie. Every evangelist
who ministers to the sick in large city-wide campaigns, realizes his greatest
handicap is the fact that people coming from considerable distances, usually
because of expense involved, plan to stay only long enough to get prayed for and
then to return to their communities. Because of this many do not get sufficient of
the Word of God to give them the proper faith for healing. The Healing Homes
made it possible for even the desperate cases to receive a repeated ministration of
the Word, or until their faith mounted to that degree that the miracle took place.

FOR all practical purposes, the battle to get Dr. Dowie out of Chicago by his
adversaries was over. A few futile gestures were made during the year 1896, but the
power of the opposition was broken, and some of the leaders involved in the
persecution were discredited, others were dead, and one had been sent to the
penitentiary. The most bitter reflection of Dowies enemies must have been, not
that their efforts had gone for nought or that large sums of money had been spent
to no avail, or even that popular opinion had swung against them, but their most
painful thought must have been the realization that their persecution had, instead
of permanently harming Dr. Dowie, resulted in giving him free publicity to the
extent that he was able to move from the Little Wooden Hut to one of the largest
auditoriums in Chicago, and that the crowds flocking to hear him were now
rivaling or exceeding those of any other speaker in America.
When Dr. Dowie had come to America in 1888, he read in the newspapers that
President Benjamin Harrison had opened the finest auditorium in the world in
Chicago, Illinois. At that time he had a feeling that he would one day speak in the
building for Christ. So it turned out that in the fall, with interest in his work
rapidly increasing, Dr. Dowie felt the time had come for him to secure this great
auditorium. Accordingly, he leased it for a period of six months during which, he
proposed to speak there every Lords day from October 27, 1895, to April 21, 1896.
An audience of four thousand people which included a number of Chicago
newspaper reporters attended the first service, and on the Monday after, the
following report appeared in the editorial section of THE CHICAGO EVENING
POST:
When John Alexander Dowie went out of town, after a lively experience bordering
on persecution, he said prophetically that when he returned, he would hold a
meeting in a hall downtown which he would fill with a large and respectful
audience. His words were laughed at at the time, but yesterday they were
vindicated. Four thousand people collected in the auditorium to welcome him, and
at the end of the impressive services, hundreds came up to him and grasped his
hand, half knelt beside him and kissed the hem of his coat. Is it cause for wonder
that he was deeply affected and that tears streamed down his cheeks? (This latter
statement was a newspaper inaccuracy as Dr. Dowie left immediately after the
benediction.)

In the fact of this popular testimonial it is useless to deny that John Alexander
Dowie is vindicated by at least a formidable proportion of intelligence. What this
power is, is not necessary to analyze here. But it is a power that rises superior to
ridicule, to scoffing, to all sorts of charges of humbug and imposture, and that
brings together thousands of persons of intelligence with faith unshaken and
confidence unimpaired. Perhaps some people are attracted to these meetings
through curiosity, but this is true only of a few, and even if the number were
increased by this motive, it would argue nothing to discredit. The point is that Mr.
Dowie has the faculty of drawing a tremendous audience and of holding it in
respectful attention. With that fact prominently in view, it is only fair to challenge
his opinions and teachings with the dignity of argument and not with mere ridicule
and laughter.
Interest in the Sunday services at the auditorium continued to mount, and the
magnitude of this enterprise was only limited by the seating capacity of the
auditorium which was about six thousand.
Robert G. Ingersoll, the notorious infidel, delivered a speech in Chicago at this
time in which he made the blasphemous charge that God must perish, because He
is useless, and never answers prayer . John Alexander Dowie took Ingersoll up on
his indictment that God never answered prayer, by assembling an impressive array
of testimonies of people healed of the most outstanding afflictions, and with
documented proof of their healing. This was perhaps the only time Ingersoll was
ever effectively challenged in his blasphemous assertions. The infamous agnostic
was well aware of the Bible teaching concerning healing and miracles, and in his
lectures it was customary for him to point out that these promises were not
fulfilled in the ministry of the Church. Until this time, Ingersoll had gotten by,
because the Church was impotent to answer his challenge. However, Dr. Dowie,
after assembling many witnesses who testified to miracles of healing, called
Ingersolls bluff. The infidel ordinarily would have been quick to accept a challenge
of this nature and thus expose Christianity further to his blatant ridicule, but
learning of the nature of the challenge he would have to meet, he decided not to
accept it and quickly left town, thus revealing that his professed search for truth
was only pretence. Not long after, Ingersoll died a miserable death and as one of
old, he went to his own place.
ORGANIZATION OF THE CHRISTIAN CATHOLIC CHURCH
The time had now come when John Alexander Dowie believed it propitious to
initiate what be had long dream of doing, the organizing of a church on apostolic
principles. Dr. Dowie firmly believed that the same principles laid down by the
apostles for the Early Church should be valid even at the present time. He had no
sympathy with the generally accepted teaching that the days of miracles were
passed or that the Gifts of the Spirit had been withdrawn. It was his desire to bring

109

JOHN ALEXANDER DOWIE

A LIFE STORY OF TRIALS, TRAGEDIES AND TRIUMPHS

Gods people back to the principles of the Early Church. On January 22, 1896, he
held the first General Conference of Believers interested in the organization of the
Christian Catholic Church. His message at that service dealt particularly with the
subject of apostolic succession, which we cannot report on these pages. (Those who
wish to read this sermon may find it in the recently published book entitled, THE
SERMONS OF JOHN ALEXANDER DOWIE. Incidentally the term Catholic has
no connection with the Roman Catholic Church, but simply means Universal.)
On Wednesday evening, February 5, 1896, the Second General Conference of
Believers of those interested in the organization of the Christian Catholic Church
was called. The service this time was thrown open for questions. We believe that in
considering the answers given to these questions, the reader can the more quickly
secure an idea of the plan in Dr. Dowies mind, when he set about organizing this
church. We shall for obvious reasons find it necessary to condense to an essence,
the answers:
OPENING REMARKS OF DR. DOWIE: I propose in the Christian Catholic
Church to carry out in the letter and in the Spirit the organization of the New
Testament. I propose to train Seventies, by the grace of God, who thoroughly
understanding the work and prepared first in Zion, shall go forth two by two into
all parts of the city, and do their work from house to house. I shall carry forth the
work by deacons and deaconesses and elders; by pastors, teachers, and preachers.
I propose to carry forth the work upon New Testament lines, by ordaining such
persons as I believe God has called and qualified. I propose to carry it forward in a
very thorough manner in Sabbath and week-day schools, where they shall not only
be taught the letter of the word but its Spirit, and where they shall get a thorough
Christian education from the kindergarten to the college, and from the beginning
be trained to carry forward the work of God in all parts of the city.
We shall use the printing press extensively, and by books, newspapers,
pamphlets, and tracts in all the various languages which are spoken in this city,
until at least we have something in every language for every person within Chicago.
In things that are essential we demand unity, in things that are not essential we
give the fullest liberty, and we must do all things in charity.
The meeting is open now as a conference for general discussion upon the basis set
forth in my address of January 22nd. Feel perfectly free in the Lord to speak
anything that God has given you to say.
REV. MR. JONESMay I not ask if there were not some other offices in the
primitive church, supposing that we grant your position that the Apostolic Office is
permanent, is there not at least one more in the primitive church that in the very
nature of things must have been limited, that is to say, the Prophetic Office? Now

110

JOHN ALEXANDER DOWIE

A LIFE STORY OF TRIALS, TRAGEDIES AND TRIUMPHS

can there be that office now - giving the power of foretelling future events such as
Paul exercised, and also embracing inspiration?
DR. DOWIE: The contention of Dr. Jones is not correct. The Prophetic Office is
permanent, as is also the Apostolic and Teaching office; it is as permanent as both.
The words are clear in I Cor. 12:28. And God bath set some in the church, first
apostles, secondarily prophets, thirdly teachers, after that miracles, then gifts of
healings, helps, governments, diversities of tongues. There is no limitation there
as to the time of the duration of the offices of either apostles or prophets or
teachers. The word set is etheto and it means to build into, as a permanent
part of a permanent organization. As regards our brothers suggestion as to the
continuation of the Apostolic Office, I would say that the suggestion of its
temporary nature is not correct, and that the Prophetic Office continued after
Christs Resurrection.
There were a number of prophets and a number of prophetesses.
There was Agabus, narrated in Acts 21:10-11. Philip the evangelist had four
daughters that prophesied. Acts 21:8-9.
I see no reason whatever why the Gift of Prophecy should be limited, and I believe
too that it is in existence. The Prophetic Office was a very large one, and a prophet
might hold other offices, such as that of teacher, and every apostle was a prophet.
The apostolic power was prophetic as well as apostolic; it was didactic, or teaching,
as well as apostolic. It included all the gifts and it is possible and probable that one
of the signs of an apostle was that God used him in the exercise of every one of
the gifts set forth in I Corinthians XII. If you take prophecy out of one of the nine,
you have simply denied the word of God in one of the most important points of
teaching, namely that the gifts and the callings of God are without repentance.
Romans 11:29. If you admit as you must, that the Gift of Prophecy is a perpetual
gift to the church, then the office of prophet must be.
REV. MR. JONES: There is one question in regard to inspiration
DR. DOWIE: With regard to the question of inspiration. There is no doubt that
inspiration continues; but such inspiration must be in perfect accord with the
Word of God as it now stands. But I believe that every day that I, or any other
faithful minister of Christ, utters a word that is from God, it is inspired.
MR. MARCH: But it makes no addition to the inspired words of the Bible?
DR. DOWIE: Precisely so, and any man that would add or take away from the
words of the prophecy that are in this book would come under the declaration of
judgment of Rev. 22:18-19.

111

JOHN ALEXANDER DOWIE

A LIFE STORY OF TRIALS, TRAGEDIES AND TRIUMPHS

While I would never allow any man to bring me anything in addition to the Word,
yet the Gift of Prophecy has of necessity a very large place of exercise within the
limits of Divine revelation as it is now given, and the application of the principles
and the teaching of the New Testament. The application of these principles to the
Church of God gives a tremendously large room for inspiration in word, teaching
and prayer, and in the Prophetic Office. Within the bounds of the constitution of
the United States, there is and there ought to be, ample room for the application of
every principle of liberty, and so, within the bounds of the Word of God, there is
ample room for the explanation of and the application of it to present day
conditions.
REV. DR. BURNS: It seems to me as regards the foundation of the church that we
are built upon the foundation of the apostles and the prophets, Jesus Christ
Himself being the chief Cornerstone. It seems to me that there can be but one
laying of the foundation, and the foundation once laid, we cannot build a new
church.
DR. DOWLE There never can be a new church unless it be a false church. That
which is true, in regard to church organization is not new, and that which is new is
not true. We need the old time Christianity of the first century, and therefore we
are seeking for the old time organization of the church and hope to find it in the
Christian Catholic Church.
REV. DR. BURNS: Are we to understand that if there should be some future
apostles, that we are to be built upon them as upon the first apostles?
DR. DOWIE: The Church of God in each generation must be a building whole and
complete in itself, and must be such a building today in this Nineteenth Century,
on earth as it was 19 centuries ago. It is as necessary for His work that it shall be
just as perfectly equipped and organized today as it was then. Since this is clearly
true, and since the organization of the Primitive Church was apostolic and
prophetic and didactic, and so on, that same organization is just as necessary today
as it was then. That is the position.
MR. CALVERLY In regard to one point: I remember Dr. Dowie saying in a kind of
a sad and gloomy way, I dont know that I can see any of the apostles yet. But I
think I can see one, and I think he is the chief of modern apostles. (Looking to Dr.
Dowie amid great applause.)
DR. DOWIE: I have not the slightest idea but that our dear Brother Calverly spoke
with that perfect honesty which has always characterized him, and that he would
not have been guilty for a moment of flattery. But I too am perfectly honest when
with no mock humility, I say to you from my heart, I do not think that I have
reached a deep enough depth of true humility; I do not think that I have reached a

112

JOHN ALEXANDER DOWIE

A LIFE STORY OF TRIALS, TRAGEDIES AND TRIUMPHS

deep enough depth of true abasement and self-effacement, for the high office of an
apostle, such as he had reached who could say and mean it too, I am less than the
least of all the saints, and not worthy to be called an apostle. But if my good Lord
could ever get me low enough, and deep enough in self-abasement and selfeffacement to be truly what I want to be, and hope in a measure I am, a servant of
the servants of the Lord, why then I should become an apostle by really becoming
the servant of all.
In becoming an apostle, it is not a question of rising high, it is a question of
becoming low enough. It is not a question of becoming a Lord over Gods
heritage, but it is a question if a man shall be called to be an apostle whether he
can get low enough, low enough to say from the depths of his heart, to say the
words that Paul said, It is a faithful saying, worthy of all acceptation, that Jesus
Christ came into this world to save sinners of whom (not I was chief but) whom I
am chief.
I do not know if any persons here have a notion in their minds that the Apostolic
Office means a high pompous position, wearing a tiara, and swaying a sceptre. If so
they are entirely wrong. It means a high position truly, but the power of one that
can take the lowest place.
I think some of you have got a very false conception of power in the Church of God.
Power in the Church of God is not like power in the government of the United
States, where a man climbs to the top of the pyramid of his fellows to the acme of
his ambition, and there makes it fulfill his personal pride and purpose. Power in
the church is shown in this, that a man gets lower and lower, and lower and lower,
until he can put his very spirit, soul and body underneath the miseries and at the
feet of a sin-cursed and a disease-smitten humanity and live and die for it and for
Him who lived and died for it. That is what I understand by the Apostolic Office.
As the convention came to a close the following statement of the basis of fellowship
was presented to the audience for their acceptance:
First:
That we recognize the infallible inspiration and sufficiency of the Holy
Scriptures as the rule of faith and practice.
Second: That we recognize that no persons can be members of the church who
have not repented of their sins and have not trusted in Christ for salvation.
Third: That such persons must also be able to make a good profession, and
declare that they do know in their hearts, that they have truly repented, and are
truly trusting Christ, and have a witness in a measure of the Holy Spirit.

113

JOHN ALEXANDER DOWIE

A LIFE STORY OF TRIALS, TRAGEDIES AND TRIUMPHS

Fourth: That all other questions of every kind shall be held to be matters of
opinion and not matters that arc essential to church unity.
As will be seen, by those familiar with the later history of Zion, John Alexander
Dowies plan for reviving the apostolate did not prove successful. Some years after
the death of Dr. Dowie, the church he founded abolished that office altogether.
Other organizations which have created the apostolic office, have found that it is a
simple matter indeed, to appoint apostles, but alas, such appointments do not
create by the act, the power needed by an apostle. What is needed today is an
apostolic ministry of men, who will neither seek nor accept the title of an apostle
a title which has the effect only of embarrassing their ministry. An apostolic
ministry is what made Dr. Dowies ministry what it was, but when he ultimately
adopted the title of an apostle, his ministry did not increase but declined.

CHAPTER XXII

ORGANIZATION OF THE SEVENTIES

THE story of the organization of the Zion Seventies and their work of carrying the
Gospel to the unchurched multitudes of Chicago is not without interest. The labors
of the Seventies in the streets and the slums of Chicago were marked by many a
dramatic incident revealing the redeeming love of Christ.
This onward movement of Zion in the Year 1898, was occasioned, as told by Dr.
Dowie, by the story published in the Chicago press of a youth about twenty years of
age, named Butch Hutchins, who having committed many crimes, even that of
murder, but a short distance from the Zion Tabernacle on Michigan Avenue, was at
last sent to Cook County jail, and when sentenced to be hung, cried out, I never
had a chance. He had been born of criminal parents.
When Dr. Dowie read the pathetic story, he said, That cry comes to me. He lived
within a stones throw of my home, and I never gave him a chance. That shall not
be said of me again in Chicago. Before that week was past he began sending out
Zion Seventies, and he began just where poor Hutchins had committed the
murder.
It was on Lords Day, September 18, 1898, in Chicago, that Zion Seventies were
first organized and given their commission after the reading of the Tenth Chapter
of Luke. Dr. Dowie in sending out the Seventies spoke as follows:
For long years it has been our great desire to see this moment when having
trained some hundreds of Gods own children, we should have the joy of sending
them forth two by two into every street of this city of Chicago, knowing that the
Lord wants to come into every street, and enter into every house in this city. We
have not been idle as individuals, but we have been looking forward to the time
when the church could organize its bands, and send them forth to do this work.
Those that serve in this way must be called, chosen and faithful . . . You are not to
look at your weakness, your ignorance, or your inefficiency, but you are to look to
Jesus, every step of the way . . . You can enter no house, and tread no land, and no
weary street and no hard climbing stairs, and no cellar or den in this city, where
you will not find Jesus with you.
You are witnesses as to what God has wrought in this Christian Catholic Church.
You must carry to this people a Gospel of facts, not nineteen hundred years old,

115

JOHN ALEXANDER DOWIE

A LIFE STORY OF TRIALS, TRAGEDIES AND TRIUMPHS

but living facts today in this city and land. The Spirit of God must enable you to
know how to listen in patience, and how to answer in love. How to deal in
prudence, how to deal in sympathy, how to deal in tenderness. Remember it is
courteous and it is right to patiently listen to those that speak. In this fight no
feeling of enmity against man must be in your heart. Take with you the holy fire of
love Divine, and in these darkened homes of poverty, and of sin, and of sickness,
bear with you the living water. Take with you the living bread, carry with you the
living Gospel of the Living God, and a great multitude will rise up and call you
blessed.
Hand your little message and say, Peace be unto this house, and if they say,
Thank you, you say, Would it be convenient for me to enter; will you let me tell
you about Jesus? And if you can get an entrance, go; and if you are shut out, go
away, but be sure to come back again. Always come back, no matter how you are
sent away. I charge you before God to be faithful unto death. I charge you to lead
them who are unsaved to repentance through faith, to hope, to love, by the Grace
of God, to their Father, that they may receive the blessing of eternal life. I charge
you to carry to the sick the message: I am the Lord that heals thee. I charge you to
carry the message of Him Who is the Resurrection and the Life, and to bid men to
know that in Him there is salvation, healing, and holiness and everlasting life, and
may God go with you.
This was the substance of the commission given to the army of six complete
Seventies organized that day and sent forth into the homes of the City of Chicago,
which had been divided into districts, so that each person in the district could be
visited by two people of the Seventies during the week. The number of the
Seventies soon increased to 3000 men and women who devoted a part of their
time each week in active Gospel work of going from house to house. Millions of
tracts were distributed to the homes of the people in Chicago, and LEAVES OF
HEALING were given a wide circulation. As a result of the personal work done by
Zion Seventies, many people were brought to the meetings to hear the preaching of
the Gospel. Within but a few years the entire city of Chicago was stirred to its
utmost depths. As a result of the work done by the Seventies, prayer meetings were
organized in many parts of the city of Chicago. Branch Tabernacles were started in
various parts of Chicago, and also in many others cities, as in Cincinnati,
Cleveland, Philadelphia, New York, and many other large and small centers in the
United States. Soon the message of the Full Gospel was reaching to many other
countries, and branches were being started in Europe, Australia, South Africa,
England and Scotland.

CHAPTER XXIII

THE HOLY WAR

AFTER the organization of the CHRISTIAN CATHOLIC CHURCH, Zion enjoyed a

period of remarkably rapid growth. After the six months lease on the Chicago
Auditorium had expired, Dr. Dowie secured a building known as St. Pauls, on
Michigan Ave. at 16th, which he completely renovated and refitted so that it would
seat over three thousand persons. He also leased a large office building which was
located and still stands today at 12th St. and Michigan Ave., just across from the
Illinois Central Railway Station. His offices and residence were located in this
building, and it also provided space for many people who came to Chicago to be
healed.
The period of 1896-1900 might be called the golden years of Zion. During this time
of phenomenal growth, the number of adherents to the CHRISTIAN CATHOLIC
CHURCH multiplied into tens of thousands. It was a period of comparative quiet
when Dr. Dowie was formulating his plans for the building of a city. This period of
quiet came to an end when in the fall of 1899, John Alexander Dowie suddenly
announced a three months Holy War. And war it turned out to be on more
occasions than one. The General Overseer, by which title he was now called, had
more purposes than one in invoking his Holy War, and one of these which was
obscure at the time, we shall mention presently.
On the third week of the Holy War, the students of the College of Physicians, upon
hearing that Dr. Dowie had announced that he was to preach on the subject,
Doctors, Drugs, and Devils, a subject title obviously unflattering to them,
instigated a riot at the Zion Tabernacle, the story of which is graphically told by Dr.
Dowie himself in his editorial of October 21, 1899:
Truly we have drawn upon us the fire of the enemy: for the doctors of this city, who
have subsidized the press, took counsel together and determined that they would
stop the rising tide by the most disgraceful and riotous proceedings within their
powerhoping, doubtless, that they could in the confusion and darkness seriously
injure, or perhaps, destroy our life. With the full knowledge and consent of the
professors of several medical colleges, notices were posted, summoning the
students to riotous proceedings. We give the following copy of the notice posted in
the Rush Medical College as quoted in the Chicago Tribune, of Thursday, October
19:

117

JOHN ALEXANDER DOWIE

A LIFE STORY OF TRIALS, TRAGEDIES AND TRIUMPHS

All Students of Rush Medical are requested to meet at the corner of

Harrison and Wood Streets to attend (Dr.?) Dowies lecture at the hail at the
corner of Madison and Paulina Streets, Wednesday evening, October 18, at 7:15
P. M. Subject: Doctors, Drugs, and Devils. WE WANT TO GIVE HIM A HOT
RECEPTION.
By Order of Committee. NoteAll medical and dental students should go.
The result was that for several days the students of these institutions engaged in
the manufacture of sulphuretted hydrogen, carbon bisulphide, and other bad
smelling compounds. They arranged to meet very early in the evening and occupy
the new Zion Tabernacle, immediately the doors were opened. The consequence
was that the building was filled, with the exception of about one hundred seats,
with the great part of a thousand noisy, yelling rowdies in the form of medical
students.
But this left fully two thousand of their number outside, since the Chicago Tribune
carried an estimate of 2900 students. Immense crowds were attracted by the
continuous yelling of the students, and when we arrived at the entrance at 7:30
oclock, there were probably six or seven thousand persons in the streets.
By this time Lieutenant OHara, with a large number of men from the Twentyeighth Precinct, had arrived, and was doing his best to keep a passage way open for
us when we reached the tabernacle. We left our carriage amidst a storm of yells
and curses and the throwing of bottles containing filthy smelling liquids. None of
these however, touched us, and we entered the tabernacle amid the derisive cheers
of the congregation of students whose pockets were filled with noxious chemicals,
and whose hearts were filled with fierce and murderous passions.
However God gave us glorious victory, for during the two hours that we spoke,
although the attempts to interrupt us were frequent, we did not lose five minutes.
God compelled these young men to listen to His Word and to our exposure of
pharmacy, medicine and surgery as being wholly unscientific. After we spoke,
Elder Mason and Overseer Piper spoke briefly and the audience was dismissed
quietly.
But during those two hours the riot in the street reached fever heat, and the shouts
and the shrieks and the cries of the students, punctuated by the crashing of stones
through the numerous windows of the tabernacle, made the Holy war seem a great
reality.
Never in all our years of ministry have we felt so supremely joyful and happy, even
though sad and sorrowful for those who were doing the devils work, because we
felt beyond all question the lecture had been magnificently illustrated by the facts

118

JOHN ALEXANDER DOWIE

A LIFE STORY OF TRIALS, TRAGEDIES AND TRIUMPHS

which all could see, hear and smell. No arguments or facts that we could adduce
were half so potent as those which these foolish doctors and students supplied. The
foulness of their arguments fairly stank the young men themselves out of the
building, for they emptied their vials on the floor and were compelled to hold their
handkerchiefs to their noses to escape suffocation, and were glad at last to retire.
The diabolical nature within them was illustrated by their blasphemous and foolish
remarks and actions.
Meanwhile out in the streets, the police, who had been largely reinforced until they
were the greater part of one hundred men, under the command of their officers,
were charging the crowd and using their batons freely upon them in every
direction. When the resistance of these young doctors, assisted by a number of
their professors, reached a height, the patrol wagons were summoned from all
parts of the west side of the city, and large numbers of the rioters were arrested,
pushed into wagons and taken to police cells.
When we left the building there must have been nearly fifteen or twenty thousand
people congregated in the streets. But the gracious protection of our God never
was so signally shown to us as in the fact that neither in the building nor in leaving
it did we or any of our people, so far as we know, receive the slightest injury. It was
with difficulty however, that the police literally cut a way through the crowd, for
our carriage, which was attended by a patrol wagon filled with stalwart policemen
detailed for our protection, as far as Jackson Street bridge crossing the Chicago
River.
On the following day, the morning and evening papers were filled with many
columns and illustrations devoted to the riotous scene. But the students had gone
too far and public indignation was aroused by their actions. When a similar riot
was attempted a few days later, it was nipped in the bud and some were taken to
jail. Inspector John D. Shea sent out word that any further provocation would be
dealt with severely. He declared, These would-be doctors must behave themselves
or the entire lot of themI dont care how manywill be bundled into patrol
wagons and locked up. They will not get off so easy as they did before.
The Holy War continued, and while there were no further riots in Chicago on any
large scale, it was only a week later when apparently a direct attempt at murder
was committed by an unruly mob who set against Dr. Dowie in Hammond,
Indiana, a city located to the south of Chicago. It appeared that the enemies of
Dowie, convinced that any further attempts upon his life where the Chicago Police
Force had jurisdiction would be frustrated, changed their field of operations to
smaller cities, where the police forces were small and largely influenced by petty
local politics. We shall take from the November 4, 1899, issue of LEAVES OF
HEALING, the story of the attack by the mob in Hammond and the determined
attempt at assassination of Dr. Dowie in Oak Park four days later:

119

JOHN ALEXANDER DOWIE

A LIFE STORY OF TRIALS, TRAGEDIES AND TRIUMPHS

ATTEMPT TO MURDER MR. DOWIE AT HAMMOND, INDIANA

When the meeting had ended, a gang of murderous-looking thugs gathered in the
stairway leading down to the front street, their evident purpose being to close in
upon the General Overseer as he started down the stairway, and in the melee, to
strike him several blows upon the back of his head with sharp railroad spikes, thus
cruelly murdering him in such a way as to make detection of the murderer difficult,
if not impossible.
Divining their dastardly intention, the General Overseer continued calmly making
his preparations as though he were going out by the front stairway. Then be quietly
slipped out by a side door, thus doubtless saving his life. His presence on the street
was soon detected by the bloodthirsty mob, however, and he was quickly
surrounded by a half-thousand fiends incarnate. Hissing through their clenched
teeth the most terrible execrations and shouting, Kill him! and Do the old fakir
up! and other cries of similar criminal import, they hurled heavy bricks, stones,
pieces of iron, railway spikes, mud and sticks at the man of God.
The distance of several blocks had to be traversed before the waiting electric cars
were reached. The scenes enacted during that short walk baffle description. With a
living wall of loyal men and women ready to lay down their lives all about him, the
General Overseer walked calmly, amidst a perfect pandemonium of yells and
curses and a shower of mud and missiles. Attempts were repeatedly made to drag
away the guards, but God gave strength and the little band of men and women held
closely together. When the bridge was reached there was a shout, Throw him over
into the river, but the structure was being repaired and so narrow a passageway
was left that the little Zion band quite filled it, thus keeping the murderers away.
At last the electric car was reached, and quickly the General Overseer and his
people got on board. Realizing that their prey was thus slipping through their
fingers, the criminals who thirsted for life, redoubled their furies. Every pane of
glass in the car was broken, and it was here that some of the most serious injuries
of Zion People were inflicted. The conductor of the car was also slightly injured.
But here again the brave men and women of Zion rallied around their leader, and
by their own bodies shielded him from harm.
And all unseen by that howling mob, the hand of God was in that fierce conflict,
and the death-dealing missiles were turned aside, so that mortal injury was not
inflicted on the General Overseer nor any of the brave Christian heroes and
heroines who surrounded him. Of serious and painful wounds there were a few,
and of slight bruises and cuts a large number. The General Overseer was struck a
heavy blow on the head, inflicting a bruise, a cutting blow behind the left ear,
breaking the skin and stunning him, for the moment, and also a painful blow on

120

A LIFE STORY OF TRIALS, TRAGEDIES AND TRIUMPHS

the back. In answer to his prayers however, God quickly healed him and removed
all pain and all harmful effects, so that he was enabled to spend the remainder of
the night working upon THE LEAVES OF HEALING.
THE ATTACK AND RESCUE AT OAK PARK
But the enemies of Dowie were not through yet. They learned that four days after
the incident mentioned above, he was to speak at Oak Grove. Careful plans were
laid by a band of desperate men to take his life immediately after the close of the
service. Accordingly some two hundred assassins gathered early in that village, and
laid in wait to assassinate him, when he left the meeting. THE LEAVES OF
HEALING give a detailed account of what followed.
Failing in Hammond to carry out their craven designs, members of the mob
seized with eagerness upon the opportunity presented by the General Overseers
widely advertised visit to Oak Park. That a determined attempt would be made
upon his life by hired assassins, the General Overseer received very plain and wellgrounded warnings for several days before time set for the meeting there.
Nevertheless, he set out upon his mission, confident that God, in Whose name he
went, would graciously protect him, as in the past. He was accompanied by Mrs.
Dowie, who knew of the danger to her husbands life, and was determined to share
it. Alexander Gladstone Dowie, their only son, also accompanied his father and
mother. Many members of Zion choir and ordained ministers of Zion, with
numerous members of the church were there. Probably three hundred in all came
from Chicago.
Early in the evening, and until about midnight, the majority of the crowd, which
was variously estimated from two to six thousand, in the streets, was composed of
High School boys and girls and other young people, who evidently knew little of
the meaning of it all, but simply screamed and blew their tin horns as a Halloween
prank.
During the course of the evening, some of the bolder spirits in this youthful mob
were inspired to the highly intellectual amusement of smashing the windows of the
tabernacle and pelting Zions faithful guard with eggs, stale bread, and vegetables.
In spite of all the pandemonium which was raised by the horns and the crashing
of windows, the meeting proceeded with scarce an interruption, every word of the
General Overseer being easily heard by the five hundred present, and listened to
with the closest attention.
At midnight a great portion of the crowd dispersed, including all the boys and
girls, and young men and women. But a determined band of men, whose number is

121

JOHN ALEXANDER DOWIE

A LIFE STORY OF TRIALS, TRAGEDIES AND TRIUMPHS

variously estimated at from one to two hundred, refused to leave the field. They
left the vicinity of the tabernacle, but remained near, hiding in the dark corners
and in alleys in group of ten or a dozen each.
Zions guard did scout duty again and again, and each party brought back reports
that these suspicious characters were still skulking about. With this knowledge in
mind, and remembering the insistent warnings which he had received from
several reliable sources, the General Overseer wisely decided that he and his
people were far more safe inside the Zion Tabernacle, surrounded by Zion Guard,
than in an open street in a carriage. He accordingly respectfully declined to act
upon the advice of the Chief of Police of Oak Park, who assured him that the crowd
had all dispersed, and those that were left were mere curiosity seekers. Curiosity
seekers do not stand all night in disagreeable weather, despite the efforts of the
police to send them home.
The General Overseer accordingly announced an all-night of prayer and praise.
The announcement was received with great enthusiasm by the three hundred
faithful Zion people.
When all was very quiet and some splendid testimonies were being given,
following the prayer, at about a quarter before three, suddenly, the sonorous peal
of a police patrol gong came ringing up from the streets below. On this occasion, if
on no other it had to the ears of the prisoners of Zion a most musical beautiful
note. Accustomed to remaining unmoved in the midst of outside confusion, the
audience kept its seats, only a few of Zions guard leaving the room. Then there was
a heavy tread on the stair, and a moment later the door opened and a tall splendid
looking sergeant of the Chicago Police, followed by a few broad-shouldered
officers, stepped into the room.
Respectfully saluting the General Overseer, who had remained upon the platform,
Sergeant Muldoon said, Doctor I report myself and my command from Chief
Kipley, with instructions to protect you and escort you home. Instantly there was
a burst of applause after which the General Overseer expressed his appreciation of
this graceful act on the part of the Chicago Police Department, briefly but warmly.
This squad of policemen, from the Forty-third Avenue Station, had been waiting
for hours, ready at any news of danger to the doctoras they affectionately call
the General Overseerto come to his defense. They had driven rapidly to Oak Park
as soon as word had reached them that it was dangerous to leave the Tabernacle.
Guarded by the greatest care by these strong men and by Zions Guard, Dr. and
Mrs. Dowie and their son entered the carriage, and followed closely by the police
patrol wagon, they arrived home at five oclock A. M.

122

JOHN ALEXANDER DOWIE

A LIFE STORY OF TRIALS, TRAGEDIES AND TRIUMPHS

It will be noted that this friendly protection by the officers was in sharp contrast to
the circumstances of the illegal arrests he had suffered several years before at the
hands of the police. The political party that had been in power had been
overthrown some time before, and Dr. Dowie was popular with the present
administration. The previous election had been very close, and Dr. Dowie had
advised all his people to vote for the candidate, who, as it turned out was declared
mayor. He had also exacted a promise that Joseph Kipley his friend be retained as
Chief of Police.
CONCERNING DR. DOWIES ATTITUDE TOWARD THE MEDICAL
PROFESSION
Readers will have noted that Dr. Dowie severely criticized and took to task the
medical practice of his day, which it must be admitted, was rude and elementary in
comparison with the status of the medical profession today. While the Scriptures
plainly teach that the child of God, if and when, sickness comes, should look to
God rather than to man (II Chron. 16:12-13 and Luke 8:43), there is no wholesale
condemnation of those who minister to the sick by natural means. (Luke 5:3l;
l0:33-34) Apparently Christ during His ministry, showed a friendliness to the
physicians as He did to all who wou1d receive Him. Indeed Luke, the beloved
physician, wrote a Gospel that bears his name. It was in Divine healing that
Christ, as the Great Physician showed men a more excellent way.
Yet we must bear in mind that it has often been the case that when God seeks to reestablish some great truth in His Church, those instrumental in accomplishing
this, seem impelled by human necessity to almost over-emphasize certain phases
of the truth, in order to awaken people and to counteract the damage caused by
centuries of neglect or under-emphasis. There was certainly no ulterior motive in
Dr. Dowies hostility to the doctors. He was well aware that his opposition to them
brought great persecution upon him from many quarters. His motive seems
evident and sincere. He believed that those who desire Divine healing must
definitely transfer their faith in the arm of flesh to that of faith in the Living God.

CHAPTER XXIV

THE DREAM CITY OF ZION

THE three months of Holy War proclaimed by Dr. Dowie were drawing toward a
close. Day by day, the newspapers of Chicago as well as those of many other cities
had carried a running account of events that were taking place. The riots, the
attempts by assassins to take the life of the General Overseer, his outspoken
crusade against the evils of the cityall these things had kept the news reporters
busy. They had no time to take note of a man dressed in the attire of a tramp who
was seen on several occasions strolling about from farm to farm in a certain
section of the country north of Chicago. The newspapers, indeed, had heard
rumors that someone was buying up farms in that area, but the project was of such
a vast scope that it was inconceivable that any purchaser, other than a great
corporation, was involved. The fact was that public attention had been so focused
on Dr. Dowies Holy War, that the reporters could hardly be blamed if they failed
to associate the land buying with one of the most astounding of religious
undertakings in the history of America.
Actually the person seen in the shabby clothes was none other than John
Alexander Dowie, masquerading as a tramp. His special agent, sworn to secrecy,
had been quietly buying up farms all during the fall, in anticipation of securing
intact a tract of land about ten square miles, in the area north of Waukegan. It was
here that Dr. Dowie planned on building his dream city. Secrecy had been required
else farmers hearing about the plan would be tempted to raise the selling price of
their properties. So it was, that while public attention had been diverted to the
Holy War, the large estate of well over 6000 acres in extent was successfully
secured by option.
Thus it had come to pass as the year 1900 drew nigh, Dr. Dowie was ready to
launch into the greatest venture of his lifethe building of a dream city where
drugs, tobacco, liquors, theaters, brothels, dance halls, and the like were to be
forever barred. The General Overseer had spoken of his plan many times, though,
of course, the location of the proposed city was kept secret. Nevertheless, popular
interest among the members of Zion had gradually increased in the project, until it
had reached a pitch of feverish excitement. The idea of living in a community
where the grosser sins and the temptations of the large cities should be barred had
captured their imagination. Here, at last, was a chance to have a little heaven on
earth. It was an alluring prospect and many reveled in the anticipation of the time
when they would have a home in this dream city.

124

JOHN ALEXANDER DOWIE

A LIFE STORY OF TRIALS, TRAGEDIES AND TRIUMPHS

On the eve before the New Year, 1900, the members of Zion thronged to their large
tabernacle at 16th and Michigan Avenues, for the scheduled watch-night service.
There had been whisperings that the General Overseer had some important
announcement to make, and the people were filled with expectation and wonder.
As they entered the building they observed a mysterious sheet of canvas, twentyfive feet square, suspended over the choir gallery behind the platform. Veiling the
canvas was a curtain.
What did the curtain hide? No one was certain. Interest and speculation gripped
the audience while the dying hours of 1899 sped away. As midnight drew near, the
Communion of the Lords Supper was observed, and following that, the
congregation repeated after Dr. Dowie the prayer of consecration.
The hands of the clock crept to the hour of twelve. Across the city, whistles and
horns began to blow. But within the tabernacle, at that moment, the fascinated
members of the audience were oblivious to all except the drama that began to
unfold before them. For at the striking of the clock, Dr. Dowie reached up and
pulled a slender cord. The curtain rolled back from the canvas. And lo! There
revealed was a great map which showed the site of the dream city, located forty
miles north of Chicago and on Lake Michigan.
Before the people could scarcely recover from their surprise and pleasure, they
were to witness something more. This time Dr. Dowies hand took hold of another
cord and now the map slid away, and there, stretched out, was a huge painting of
the proposed city of Zion, in the center of which stood the towers of the dome of
Zion Temple! The audience gasped as they began to grasp the magnitude of the
project unveiled before them. Long into the wee, small hours of the morning, the
congregation lingered as Dr. Dowie talked and discussed plans for their city of the
future. Darkness had gone and the flush of dawn had spread across the sky when
the last member of Zion left the tabernacle that New Years morning.
It was not Zion alone that was impressed. Real estate men and others took a new
view of Dr. Dowies business ability. One big-scale operator, who specialized in
suburban cities, offered to give Dr. Dowie a million dollars profit if he would sell
the land that he had acquired. Money poured into the Zion Land Investment
Association. Popular interest was so great that it appeared urgent to hasten the
opening of the subdivisions so that building of homes could get under way.
The Zion project was no doubt one of the most stupendous ventures ever conceived
and entered into by a minister of the Gospel. It envisioned the expenditure of
millions of dollars. Everything about the plan was unique. The land was not to be
sold, but to be leased for a period of some eleven hundred years. The terms of the
lease strictly forbade the possession or use of tobacco, liquor, and swines flesh
anywhere within the limits of Zion. No drug store or doctors office was to be

125

JOHN ALEXANDER DOWIE

A LIFE STORY OF TRIALS, TRAGEDIES AND TRIUMPHS

located there. No gambling house, theater, nor dance hall was ever to receive a
license to operate within that community. Parents were to be provided with a clean
atmosphere in which they could bring up their children without their coming into
contact with corrupting influences such as existed in Chicago and other large cities.
All in all, it was an alluring prospect to many Christians whose souls abhorred the
omni-present evil of the cities where they were forced to dwell.
On July 14, 1900, members of the Zion congregation made an excursion to the site.
(An earlier one had been made on Washingtons birthday.) Dr. Dowie turned the
first sod on the proposed Zion Temple. During the afternoon, the General Overseer
preached a sermon depicting the future of Zion, in glowing terms. Arthur
Newcomb who writes unfavorably of Dr. Dowie, sums up the message delivered on
that occasion:
In the General Overseers prophetic sermon, vision paled before brighter vision,
emotion mounted to higher emotion. This little band of a few thousand people saw
themselves the favored instruments in the consummation of the plan of the ages,
nucleus of the chosen company of kings and priests of God, which ere long should
rule the whole world. Here upon this consecrated land should rise the first
material evidence of their universal empire. Other Zion cities would be built near
all the other great cities of the world until, at Jerusalem, their work should be
crowned by the city of Jesus the Great King, with Whom they should reign over a
world from which all evil, all sickness, all poverty, and all unhappiness should be
purged.
Through the balance of the year 1900, until the winter season set in, surveyors and
road crews pushed the preliminary work. With the opening of spring of the
following year, crews were put to work in large numbers on various projects; some
surveying, other grading streets, some planting trees, still others working on a
draining system. All work was rushed in anticipation of the expected stampede to
secure lots by the many families who had declared their intention of moving to
Zion as soon as the property was put on the market.
Plans had been set in motion to get a variety of industries into the city. This was
important as a means of support was necessary for the population when it arrived.
A modern lace factory was imported, personnel and all, from Great Britain. This,
as a matter-of-fact, represented the introduction of an altogether new industry into
America.
It had been planned also to lay out a civic center, residential zones, and landscape
architecture, but before these plans could be properly executed, the pressure of
thousands of people, impatient to build before the summer was gone, was so great
that it was decided to make the lots available at once.

126

JOHN ALEXANDER DOWIE

A LIFE STORY OF TRIALS, TRAGEDIES AND TRIUMPHS

So it was that on July 15, 1901, several subdivisions of the Zion estate were thrown
open and the lots offered for lease. As was expected there was a stampede at the
Zion Land Office. Building operations commenced almost immediately. People
pitched their tents and went to work. Some of the houses were of excellent
construction; others were ugly makeshift shacks. But the boom was on, and the
hammers and saws could be heard at all hours during the summer days.
It is not the purpose of this volume to go into detail in the recording of events
attending the building boom. Suffice it to say that while it did not proceed
altogether according to plan, it nevertheless moved forward at a tempo that was
very gratifying to Dr. Dowie. Even to his enemies, it appeared that his dream of a
city was actually corning true. Lots in the subdivision were being snapped up by
the hundreds. Tens of thousands of dollars poured into Zion Batik by investors
anxious to secure the high rate of interest that was promised. Enthusiasm in the
project continued to mount. Newspapers, far more respectful then they had ever
been before, carefully followed and reported the progress that was being made.
Winter forced a temporary lull in operations, but with the coming of spring of
1902, the work was resumed at an unslackened pace. In a short time several of the
administration buildings were completed. The Elijah Hospice, one of the largest
frame buildings in the country, was finished and made ready to take care of guests.
The lace factory had been built and that establishment was already busily turning
out fine lace, which Dr. Dowie proudly proclaimed, and with truth, to be very
acceptable to American markets. By the time the summer of 1902 was over, many
houses had been erected and the semblance of a city was taking shape.

127

CHAPTER XXV

AN UTOPIA ON EARTH

THUS we have traced the history of John Alexander Dowie up and until the winter
of 1901-02. His star of destiny as far as the casual observer might see, seemed to be
well in the ascendancy. Despite some unpleasant circumstances that had arisen,
the General Overseer was satisfied with the progress that had been made. In the
next five years, said he, in a burst of enthusiasm, there should be 50,000 people
living within the boundaries of Zion. He called attention to the foresight that had
been exercised in securing enough land to take care of a city of 200,000
inhabitants. Already, however, Dr. Dowie was looking beyond the Zion on Lake
Michigan. Flushed with success that he believed was already his, he began
dreaming of more Zions to be built in other parts of the world.
Thus far the dreams and plans of John Alexander Dowie had been startlingly
fulfilled. He now had a congregation consisting of many thousands of devoted
members, most of whom were solidly behind him. Some, had they been given the
opportunity, would have laid down their very lives for him. The people had a
feeling that they were part of a great crusade that was about to inaugurate a new
era on earth, and they were ready to labor, toil, and to put their all into the
venture, which they were sure only end in success. That there could be any other
alternative was unthinkable.
But a few in Zion had a presentiment that all was not as it should be. These were
not enemies of Dr. Dowie. Some were numbered amongst his most devoted I
friends - people who had been healed under his ministry and who loved him
dearly. For various reasons they had become vaguely uneasy, and their feeling of
anxiety increased as the days went by. There were certain developments taking
place that were impossible to altogether ignore and, frankly speaking, they were
disturbed. Unknown to them at the time, another event was about to take place
that would more than disturb themit would actually cause alarm. We shall speak
of this presently.
One thing that troubled those who had more experience in the affairs of life than
others, was the manner of administration proposed by the Overseer. At first it had
not been certain how the government of the new city was to be administered. Dr.
Dowie had not fully revealed his plans. Gradually, however, the blueprints became
clear. The rule of Zion was to be held firmly and absolutely in the hands of the
General Overseer. There was to be no balance of power such as is ordinarily

128

JOHN ALEXANDER DOWIE

A LIFE STORY OF TRIALS, TRAGEDIES AND TRIUMPHS

exercised in democratic institutions Zion is to be a theocracy, not a democracy,

so declared the leader. It soon became evident that Dr. Dowie intended not only to
guide the major issues of the great enterprise, but also planned to assume personal
control over the smallest details of the communitys existence. Those who knew
something of the limitations of human beings asked themselves whether any man,
who was flesh and blood, could achieve so formidable a task.
Nevertheless, as concerning Dr. Dowies plan for the establishment of a religious
city, certainly the proposition was not to be dismissed as an irresponsible dream.
His desire to shield the families of his congregation from the unspeakable
degradation and wickedness that existed in the great cities was something which
any godly person could only view with sympathy. All during the past church age
there have been many of Gods people who have longed to insulate themselves
from the sin and iniquity of the world. Indeed, the first act of the early Christians
was to sell their possessions and lay the money at the apostles feet. These people,
blessed with the indwelling power of a mighty baptism of the Spirit, thought only
of eating their meat with gladness and singleness of heart, and sharing with their
neighbor their temporal blessings in a Holy Ghost fellowship.
But this spiritual Utopia could not, nor did it last long. Hypocrites immediately
sought to join themselves with the communal church, and were detected and
eliminated only because the Gifts of the Spirit were powerfully in operationas
happened in the case of Ananias and Sapphira. The plan of a Christian community
worked for a short time, though because of the inherent difficulties of the system,
it soon ran up against real problems. The Grecian widows thought they were being
discriminated against, and perhaps were, since the apostles found it necessary to
reorganize the method of ministration. The leaders of the Early Church realized
that more and more of their time was being taken up with temporal
responsibilities. After counseling with one another, they decided that they dare not
neglect their prayer life and the ministration of the Word. So they turned over the
whole communal problem to seven deacons whom they did not appoint, but who
were elected by the people.
Actually the Scriptures do not seem to favor any plan of insulation of Christians
from the world. The duty of the Children of Light is to let their light shine in the
worldthey were to live in the world, though not to become identified with the
world. At any rate, in the providence of God, a great persecution was allowed to
rise against the Early Church at Jerusalem, which resulted in the scattering of the
Christians in every direction. Significantly we read that those scattered abroad
went everywhere preaching the Word, thus fulfilling the Great Commission. (Acts
8:1, 4) So ended the communal system in the Early Church. History does not
record that the plan has ever been successfully revived, at least for any length of
time. That it held together as long as it did (Bible scholars believe it lasted only
about a year), was not an argument in its favor, but a signal evidence of the

129

JOHN ALEXANDER DOWIE

A LIFE STORY OF TRIALS, TRAGEDIES AND TRIUMPHS

unusual spiritual grace of the converts of the Early Church. There are basic reasons
why a communal system, even one greatly modified such as Dr. Dowies proposal
(he did not advocate all things in common), has little chance of succeeding in the
present state of society. We cannot enter into a detailed discussion of this, but as a
matter of fact, such a system ordinarily is maintained for any length of time only
by force, such as is employed in the slave state of Soviet Russia.
As we have seen, John Alexander Dowie was not satisfied to build a city and turn
the temporal affairs over to business men to run. In this be took the opposite
course of that of the apostles, who refused to be involved in temporal matters and
who turned the administration of such to elected deacons. Dr. Dowie sought to
guide and control every phase and department of the citys life. The chances of
achieving success by such a method were slim indeed, and as the interests and
involvements of the community continued to expand, the more impossible it was
for one man to guide and direct efficiently every department of such an enterprise.
Incidentally, the writers parents came to Zion about the time of the founding of
the city. Thomas A. Lindsay, then a young man, was much impressed by Dr.
Dowies ministry of healing and the remarkable testimonies that he heard. When
Zion city was opened, he decided to move there, and in the course of time met a
young woman, daughter of Charles Ramsay, who worked in the local department
store. Later they were married and established their home at the southern end of
Emmaus Street. In that home the writer of these pages was born. As a matter of
personal interest, Jennie Paddock, whose remarkable healing Dr. Dowie regarded
as a sign to initiate his work in Chicago, attended his birth.
The reader may pardon the above diversion, as perhaps we have not gone far
afield. It was testimonies such as that of Jennie Paddock which attracted wide
attention to Dr. Dowies ministry and were, in fact, the cause of the writers parents
and many others, moving to Zion. But it was not long after locating in the new city
that they began to notice signs of dissatisfaction. The difficulties which appeared in
the communal system of the Early Church also began to appear in Zion. People, for
real reasons or fancied, became dissatisfied. Some left the city, but others
remained to join in an undertone of discontent. All these problems diverted Dr.
Dowie from his healing ministry which had been the vital force that had given him
success.
Aside from what has already been mentioned, there was another fundamental
weakness in Dr. Dowies conception of establishing a purely religious community.
The experience of the new birth does not pass from father to son by natural
generation. To every man who would be a Christian there must come a personal
revelation of Christs Lordship as well as of his own sinful condition. It is the sad
experience of many, of whom Dr. Dowie was not excepted, that the son of godly
parents develops a decidedly less spiritual outlook on life. In a Christian

130

JOHN ALEXANDER DOWIE

A LIFE STORY OF TRIALS, TRAGEDIES AND TRIUMPHS

community, the leavening process goes on rapidly. A heathen religion may be

propagated from father to son, and the more pagan a religion is, the more natural
the process. Not so with Christianity, the vital principles of which are at variance
with unregenerate human nature. The latter must be subdued by the power of the
Spirit of God before a man can become a true Christian.
Parents moving into Zion whose children were unsaved, entertained the hope that
the influences of Zion would have a beneficial effect upon their sons and
daughters. In this expectation they were to be sadly disappointed. Actually in some
cases the youngsters were already out of parental control, and in their unconverted
state they naturally had little sympathy with the purpose for which the city was
founded. The subsequent financial difficulties and other problems that multiplied
in Zion, definitely hindered the spirit of revival that had formerly prevailed, which,
had it continued, might have caused these young people to receive a real religious
experience. The rigid rules and regulations governing conduct, formulated by Dr.
Dowie and imposed by his deputies, were looked upon with hostility by many of
the young people who, as might be anticipated, evaded them as often as possible.
A true Christian community, if it ever has existed since the brief period in the Early
Church, must certainly have been short-lived, for it inherently lacks the power to
perpetuate itself as such. Historically, a communal system has never flourished for
any length of time, much less proved a successful means of spreading vital
Christianity. Against Scriptural and historical precedent therefore, the plans for
Zion City were conceived and set in motion. Under the most favorable
circumstances it is exceedingly doubtful that the sanguine hopes for the dream city
could have ever fully materialized. That is not to say, however, that had not certain
ill-fated circumstances of another nature transpired, the subsequent history of
Zion might not have been vastly different. Unfortunately, circumstances of sinister
import, which we must shortly examine, were emerging, and it was these
unexpected developments that distressed and put ill at ease the minds of those
whose hearts were burdened for the welfare of Zion.
Actually Dr. Dowies plan for Zion City on Lake Michigan was just the beginning of
his greater project for establishing Zions all over the world, with Jerusalem as the
final objective, which he envisioned becoming the capitol of all his cities. He had
come to believe that Gods plan for Zion as outlined by the prophets, was to be
fulfilled by the church. The material glory that was to be ultimately enjoyed by
Zion, Dr. Dowie therefore believed was for his church, and he set his plans
accordingly.
Thus it was that one of the main purposes that John Alexander Dowie had in mind
in building Zion City was to pave the way for the eventual purchase and control of
Jerusalem. In the LEAVES OF HEALING of June 7, 1902, he said, bearing on this
subject:

131

JOHN ALEXANDER DOWIE

A LIFE STORY OF TRIALS, TRAGEDIES AND TRIUMPHS

ZION WILL BUY UP JERUSALEM FOR THE KING. If we can establish three,
four, five, six, seven or more Zion cities, and can get a million dollars a year, we
can buy out the Turk, we can buy out the Mohammedan, we can buy out the Jew,
we can buy out the infidel, and we can get possession of the sacred site of
Jerusalem, and build it up in preparation for the Coming of Christ our King to His
holy hill of Zion.
His belief that the Zion that he was engaged in building was the Zion of prophecy,
is shown in his editorial in the May, 4, 1901, issue of THE LEAVES OF HEALING:
They shall call thee the City of the Lord, the Zion of the holy one of Israel. These
words form a part of the glorious prophecy concerning the Zion of the latter days,
which God gave to Isaiah the seer. The little one shall become thousand and the
small one a strong nation. Its time has come. We have become a thousand. We
have become ten thousand. We have become ten thousands. The small one shall
yet become a strong nation. We tell with joy the apostate church, Zion has come.
With joy we send forth the message to Gods people in every land, Zion has come
It is not as yet the fullness of the flower; it is not the fullness of summer, but Zion
has come.
Strange as it may seem, to John Alexander Dowie was given a premonition of the
danger that he might suffer as the result of going on with this new venture of
building a city for God. It was on a Lords Day in 1899, in Central Zion Tabernacle,
at a communion service while giving one of his family talks to the church, that he
stood with uplifted hands, and while weeping with copious tears: I sometimes fear
that I shall be like Moses, having led this people on, I shall be set asideyea God
Himself setting me aside and choosing another to lead the people on. I fear that I
shall sometime say: Dowie did something, when Dowie never did anything. I shall
thus grieve God by taking some glory for myself, when it all belongs to Him.
Anton Darms writing of this says: This premonition may have been a Divine
warning to drop the project of building of the city of Zion and devote himself to the
preaching of the Gospel, and especially to the teaching of Divine healing, and
exercising the ministry of praying for the sick in the Name of the Lord. However he
believed that by building of a city for God named Zion, he would be preaching a
greater sermon than he had ever done before.

132

CHAPTER XXVI

THE ELIJAH DECLARATION

IT was usual when people entered Dr. Dowies tabernacle for the first time, to be
deeply impressed with his services. Standing in the pulpit with long, flowing white
beard, thundering against the sins of a careless and sinful generation, John
Alexander Dowie was the veritable picture of a prophet. His appearance inspired
confidence, and his words had the ring of authority. Newcomers looking about the
tabernacle witnessed a unique and arresting sighta display of crutches, casts,
braces, and canes of all kinds, discarded by people who had been healed.
Emphasizing the authenticity of the display were the testimonies of those who had
been delivered from these very instruments which hung upon the walls. Others
would testify of healing from serious afflictions, and some would relate how that in
their deliverance they had been snatched from the very jaws of death. And so, as
the days went by, new members were being added to Zions rolls by hundreds and
even thousands. And it should be mentioned that these people who united with Dr.
Dowies church were not just joiners, but, for the most part, were intelligent
Christians who were devoted to their leader with a loyalty and love rarely found in
so great an enterprise.
Many things could be said concerning the amazing career of John Alexander
Dowie, but the compass of this book does not permit. His prophetic insight was
remarkable and he predicted things which only recently have come to pass. For
example in a meeting held in Chicago, on Sept. 5, 1897, he prophesied of radio in
the following words:
Am I going to speak to 300,000 people every Sunday afternoon? Why, we are
going to do it. Do you not know that one day in the big Zion Temple that we will
have, we are going to have a great big thing to catch the sound and I am going to
have them TURN ON ZION TO ZIONS FRIENDS IN NEW YORK. See! And by the
beds of sick and sorrowing, some day, I am going to have them hear the
testimonies that they cannot hear except from dying beds. Going to get it some
day. It has to be done. It is going to be done, because the mouth of the Lord spoke
that a long time ago. Do you know it?
At another time he prophesied of the advent of television, speaking of its
possibilities in a sermon preached October 16, 1904.

I know not the possibilities of electricity. It is possible that it may yet CONVEY
THE FACE OF THE SPEAKER, and, by photo-electricity, show the man as he is
talking. Perhaps a discourse delivered here may be heard in every city of the
United States. SOME DAY THAT WILL BE SO AND THE WORD SPOKEN IN
SHILOH TABERNACLE WILL BE HEARD EVEN IN THE FARTHEST CORNERS
OF THE EARTH. (Leaves of Healing Vol. 16, No. 1, Page 15.)
The only miscalculation on the part of Dr. Dowie was his part in the fulfillment of
the prediction. Actually years later, Zion built a 50,000 watt station that carried its
message over a wide area. Though that was long after Dowie passed from the
scene, this fact does not materially detract from his remarkable apprehension of
future world development. The keenness of his prophetic perception was
unrivalled by any minister of his time.
But those who knew Dr. Dowie from the earlier years of his Chicago ministry, and
had associated with him most intimately, were vaguely conscious that something
was happening to their leader. A change was taking place, yet a change so
exceedingly subtle as to be almost imperceptible. Yet although it was difficult to lay
a finger on the tangible evidence of the change, one thing was certainthe John
Alexander Dowie who lived in the Twentieth Century was not the same John
Alexander Dowie who had preached in The Little Wooden Hut outside the gates
of the Worlds Fair in Chicago.
When at the time that the organization of the Christian Catholic Church was being
consummated, it will be recalled (note Chapter XXI) that one of Dr. Dowies
admirers made the statement that the latter, in his opinion, bore the marks of an
apostle. The reply that Dr. Dowie made was a classic answer of humility and grace:
I do not think that I have reached a deep enough depth of true humility; I do not
think I have reached a deep enough depth of true abasement and self-effacement,
for the high office of an apostle, such as he had reached who could say and mean it
too, I am less than the least of all the saints, and not worthy to be called an
apostle.In becoming an apostle, it is not the question of rising high, it is the
question of becoming low enough. It is not a question of becoming Lord over Gods
heritage, but it is a question if a man shall be called an apostle, whether he can get
low enough. I think some of you have a very false conception of power in the
church of God. Power in the church is not like power in the government of the
United States, where a man climbs to the top of a pyramid of his fellows to the
acme of his ambition, and there makes it fulfill his personal pride and purpose.
Power in the church is shown in this, that a man gets lower and lower, and lower,
and lower, until he can put his very spirit, soul, and body underneath the miseries
and at the feet of a sin-coursed and disease-smitten humanity and live and die for
it and for Him who lived and died for it.

JOHN ALEXANDER DOWIE

A LIFE STORY OF TRIALS, TRAGEDIES AND TRIUMPHS

The man who uttered these words was the John Alexander Dowie of 1896. They
had been spoken sincerely and extemporaneously from his heart as a direct answer
to a statement which sought to attribute to him an honor which he did not consider
himself due. They reveal a man possessed of a clear insight into the dangers of selfexaltation and who wanted none of it. But the man who spoke those words in 1896
was not the Dowie of 1900. Something deep within him, something fundamental in
his nature, had changed. There had been a peculiar erosion of a certain vital
quality in the faculties of John Alexander Dowie, of which he himself was unaware,
but which resulted in a definite altering of his outlook and judgment. As to the
causes which were responsible for this circumstance, we shall inquire directly. But
first let us notice how this mental metamorphosis led to a strange declaration that
Dr. Dowie made in June, 1901, just before the building boom got underway that
was to cause a city to rise where meadows and pastures had existed only shortly
before. The declaration was so startling in its nature as to leave his own people,
when they heard it, almost breathless with astonishment. For it was nothing less
than an avowal that he, John Alexander Dowie, was Elijah, the Restorer, whose
return to earth was spoken of many centuries before by the prophets!
It had so happened during the earlier years of Dr. Dowie s ministry in Chicago that
certain unnamed persons had approached him with what they claimed was a direct
revelation from God. In confidential conversation, they solemnly affirmed that the
Lord had revealed to them that the man to whom they spake was none other than
Elijah, the Restorer, whose coming to earth just before the great and terrible day
of the Lord was prophesied in the last two verses of the Old Testament. For their
trouble, Dr. Dowie promptly and unceremoniously administered a sound rebuke to
these self-appointed prophets, and abruptly dismissing them from his presence,
warned them never to mention such things to him again. But there was a strange
aftermath. Ever and anon the suggestion that had been planted that fateful day,
kept ringing in his ears. According to his own testimony, he tried to rid himself of
it, but could not. A voice seemed to say, Elijah must come, and who but you is
doing the work of Elijah? Time passed. Then one day there came flooding into his
consciousness a strange and intense conviction that he was indeed Elijahthe one
spoken of by the prophets who was to come and restore all things. The impression
came with such overwhelming power, that his entire personality became absorbed
with it. From that hour John Alexander Dowie was convinced that he was verily
Elijah, that his mission was that foretold in the Scriptures, and that he must at
once set about the task of restoring all things as spoken by the prophets.
In the following chapter we shall speak of the causes which brought about these
strange developments, but at this point we cannot refrain from asking this one
question, without attempting to answer it: Was it possible that the great success
enjoyed by John Alexander Dowie, made possible by the ministry of healing, which
gave him unprecedented power and authority to move and influence people, a
ministry into which he had entered as no other man of his day had done. was it

135

JOHN ALEXANDER DOWIE

A LIFE STORY OF TRIALS, TRAGEDIES AND TRIUMPHS

possible that he mistook this as a sign from heaven to attempt ventures and enter
into enterprises which were dispensationally and prophetically unwarranted?
About the same time that Dr. Dowie made his statement of the Elijah identity, he
also declared that this same inner spiritual compulsion had revealed to him that he
was the fulfillment of the prophecy of Moses in Deut. 18:18-19, which says, I will
raise them up a prophet from among their brethren, like unto thee, and will put my
words in his mouth; and he shall speak unto them all that I shall command him.
As the reader may verify for himself, this prophecy unmistakably was applied by
Peter to the Lord Jesus Christ (Acts 3: 20-23), of whom the apostle was
passionately preaching to the Jews as their Messiah.
Still one thing more. Dr. Dowie went on to add that this same spiritual intuition
also declared him to be the Messenger of the Covenant as foretold in Malachi 3:13a prophecy which practically every Bible commentator agrees, as referring to
Jesus Christ.
Dr. Dowie therefore regarded his prophetic office as three-fold: as Messenger of
the Covenant; as the Prophet foretold by Moses; and, as Elijah, the Restorer. and
thus the office was described in the Vow taken by each member of the Zion
Restoration Host which Dr. Dowie organized just before the New York visitation.
We shall not discuss further Dr. Dowies personal interpretation of the two above
mentioned prophecies, for it was the Elijah Declaration that really drew universal
attention. This astonishing statement made in June, 1901, that he, John Alexander
Dowie, was Elijah, the Restorer, was immediately challenged and denounced by
religious leaders all over the world. From hundreds of pulpits Dr. Dowie was
declared an imposter and a mountebank. Others who had believed in his ministry,
with sadness of heart were convinced that he had become a victim of a paranoiac
delusion. Nevertheless, the majority of the people of Zion though with some
hesitation and misgivings, followed along with the Declaration.
It is not the purpose of this volume to judge the truth or the falsity of the Elijah
Declaration. The reader will no doubt have little difficulty in reaching his own
conclusion on this. However, it must be acknowledged that in some ways, Dr.
Dowies ministry had a startling resemblance to the ministry of Elijah. Certainly in
the matter of miracles, it was more like that of Elijahs than the ministry of John
the Baptist, whom Christ said was Elijah which was to come. For John did no
miracles. Certainly Dr. Dowie was used of God in a most unusual way to bring a
return of faith in God as the Jehovah-Rapha, Healer of His people. Moreover, as
Elijah of old, he challenged, and with great effect, the apostasy of his time.
But, had he been the very Elijah, what an unfortunate mistake was made, in
proclaiming himself as such! John the Baptist was satisfied in declaring himself a

136

JOHN ALEXANDER DOWIE

A LIFE STORY OF TRIALS, TRAGEDIES AND TRIUMPHS

voice crying in the wilderness. When they asked John if he were Elijah, he said he
was not. Yet Christ later said that he was! (Matt. 11:14) Jesus commended the
humility of John who said, He must increase, but I must decrease, and declared
that none born of women was greater than he.
It would appear therefore that Dr. Dowie had begun his Zion City venture by
committing a tragic error. The whole proposition of the Declaration has an
unscriptural flavor. In contrast, notice the remarkable reserve of even the Lord
Jesus Christ when revealing His Mission. Instead of publicly declaring His
Messiahship, again and again He forbade His disciples to reveal His identity.
(Matt. 16:20) Attempts by those of the multitude to proclaim Him Israels king
which He indeed wasHe deliberately thwarted by eluding them and escaping to
the mountains.
To what purpose or gain were the proclamations of John Alexander Dowie? He
already had a firm hold on the affections of his people. The Elijah Declaration was
not needed to strengthen that gripif anything, it weakened it. The people were
devoted to him. Families living as far away as Australia eagerly pulled up their
roots and came all the way to America to invest and risk their all in Zion.
Moreover, the declaration gave real ammunition to his enemies and they made the
most of it. It aroused intense opposition everywhere, and caused Dr. Dowie to be
denounced as an imposter and a fraud. From that time on, Zions growth which
previously had been phenomenal, slowed to a snails pace. Regardless of the
validity or falsity of the claims, the fact must stand unchallenged that John
Alexander Dowies decline began at the hour that he made that declaration.
For if Dr. Dowie were not Elijah, in not making such a declaration he would have
saved himself from a horrible delusion. And if he were Elijah, just as much and
more would have been accomplished without the declaration. For John the Baptist,
who came in the spirit of Elijah, as witnessed by Christ, did not declare himself as
Elijah, yet who will contend that his ministry was not eminently successful? John
Alexander Dowie, in withholding such a declaration, had everything to gain and
nothing to lose. History shows that before Dr. Dowie made this avowal of his
supposed Elijah identity, his ministry had many marks of an Elijah ministry. But
as soon as it was made, the marks began to disappear.
The John Alexander Dowie of 1896 would have opposed such a declaration with
might and main. What had happened that caused the Dowie of 1901 to seize upon
it, embrace it, and risk all, that he might advertise it to the world? Certainly there
was no insincerity in the announcement. The Dowie of 1901 believed in his Elijah
identity positively, and with intense tenacity. The question, therefore, that
confronts us, is what cause, or series of causes, produced this strange
metamorphosis in the character and mental processes of a man who had been used

137

JOHN ALEXANDER DOWIE

of God in a measure that few men have ever been? To this inquiry we address
ourselves in the following pages.

CHAPTER XXVII

SHADOWS OVER ZION

THE reader who is not familiar with the whole Dowie story, after following the
record of a man of God who was blessed as few men have been, may be, perhaps, a
little bewildered by these developments in Dr. Dowies life. How could a man so
used of God, make such a mistake as to impair so great a ministry? In answering
this question, we must not forget that the Scriptures abound with illustrations of
men who were greatly used of God, but who afterward failed.
There was Balaam whose inspired prophecies marked him as the possessor of a
beautiful gift of prophecy. Yet he was found a teacher of false doctrines (Rev. 2:14)
and finally perished as a soothsayer. (Joshua 13: 22) Saul at the time that he was
anointed king, was of so retiring a nature that it required the services of a prophet
to locate him and to bring him forth before the people. (I Sam. 10:21-22)
Nevertheless, pride and jealousy brought him to a suicides grave. David, his
successor, the sweet singer of Israel, lamented for Saul saying, How are the
mighty fallen. (II Sam. 1:19) And David himself, a man after Gods own heart,
through spiritual neglect, sinned grievously, even to committing adultery and
murder. (II Sam. 11) The story of the failure of some good kings such as Solomon
and Asa are all warnings which only the foolish will ignore. Of course, their final
judgment rests with God, who, no doubt will fully consider the light and
responsibility involved. Our own judgment of John Alexander Dowie is, that this
man of God with all the mistakes that he made, died with the peace of God in his
soul.
Nevertheless somewhere along the line, John Alexander Dowie made fateful
decisions that had far-reaching effects. It is important as we examine this mans
life that we find just what the causes were that brought such a sad termination to
so extraordinary a career and ministry.
Coming events cast their shadows before. Effects must have their causes in a world
governed by law and not chance. The life of John Dowie affords perhaps the most
solemn object lesson of any character in Church history. And, if studied
dispassionately for the purpose of learning the secret of his success, and again the
cause of his failure, one will perhaps have learned the most valuable lessons that
the life of one man can teach another.

139

JOHN ALEXANDER DOWIE

A LIFE STORY OF TRIALS, TRAGEDIES AND TRIUMPHS

In the days of adversity, John Alexander Dowie learned to lean heavily upon God.
When every other resource failed him, he abandoned his life to the mercy and
graciousness of God. But after success had come, when thousands of people almost
idolized him, he apparently did not feel so strongly that same need. He allowed
himself to become so very busy. A fateful mistake! How many sorrows would
John Alexander Dowie have saved himself had he taken the time to get the mind of
God on decisions which were so all important? How many fatal mistakes men of
God have made because they did not pause to take counsel with the Lord when
they had some vital decision to make? The LEAVES OF HEALING, which carry a
detailed picture of Dr. Dowies activities, show him as a man given to ceaseless toil.
Often he labored all night to finish work he had laid out for himself. We search in
vain for scenes such as had occurred in Australia, when he spent those hours alone
with God under the starry canopy of the heavens.
A Christian warfare is truly a prayer warfare. John Alexander Dowie antagonized
all the powers of hell by his bold ministry of faith. But as long as he dwelt in the
secret place of the Most High, demons gnashed their teeth in impotent rage. Errors
of the centuries were being uprooted, and the kingdom of hell trembled in
frustration. But what? For Satan it was too good to be true. John Alexander Dowie
had now engaged himself in a multitude of secular activities that were gradually
absorbing every spare moment of the day, and often much of the night. He took
not the time to make certain that the Divine Hedge about him was intacta Hedge
that had made him previously invulnerable to the most desperate attacks of the
enemy. (Job 1:10) Of course John Alexander Dowie was not the only minister to
make this mistake. Middle age is a dangerous period and not a few succumb to the
temptation at that time of life to spiritually relax (something quite different to
physical relaxation). The great difference between Dr. Dowie and others was that
he had become a world leader whose actions were watched by the eyes of
multitudes. Others who make mistakes may quietly fade into obscurity, unnoticed
by the pages of history. But this can never be the case of one whose ministry
achieves world prominence, such as Dr. Dowies had.
Continuous toil without interruption can cease to be a virtue, and may even be a
sin against the body. Jesus taught the need of physical relaxation. On one occasion
He called His disciples to Him, and together they went apart to a desert place
where they could be alone and rest. By this act Jesus taught that a certain amount
of relaxation is necessary to the human body. Not only will the body break and the
nerves suffer if not given the proper care, but the mind also becomes weary, and as
a result, the faculties for exercising balanced judgment may become impaired and
erratic.
Judge V. V. Barnes, a devoted friend of Dr. Dowie, but who did not overlook his
mistakes, declared in the memorial message, that the General Overseer was one of
the most persistent toilers that ever lived. He said:

140

JOHN ALEXANDER DOWIE

A LIFE STORY OF TRIALS, TRAGEDIES AND TRIUMPHS

Dr. Dowie knew no rest, not even one day in seven; for after the conduct of the
duties of the business week, in his work in the lines of education, in editorial work,
in ministerial departments, in Divine healing meetings, in instruction of the
people, in public addresses, in leading in difficult business affairs of this city, then
he went on the platform on the Sabbath dayspeaking many a time from four,
five, up to six, eight or nine hours in a single day. It was this that caused him to
break, and when we began to remonstrate with and tell him he ought to be more
temperate in his labors, he considered the matter, and oftentimes made promises
to reformI have known him to work steadily forty-three hours in succession.
True he was intemperate in his work. He might, I think, have adjusted his work so
as to not have exhausted himself; but it is very difficult to prescribe limitations to
genius. The time came, however, when he could not exercise one of the most
extraordinary faculties given to menthe faculty of sleep when he could not
sleep, disorders began to accumulate upon him and he began to feel the sense of
weariness and pain. There came a time when it could be truly said of him, He
saved others: himself he cannot save.
Elsewhere in Judge Barnes address he spoke of Dr. Dowies promise to be more
temperate in his work, and he declares: Gradually he fell away again and lapsed
into the old habits of life. It is a sin to violate law; not a sin involving moral
transgression in the ordinary sense, but an infraction of the law of God that must
receive its penalty. No man can violate the laws of God by leading too strenuous a
life, no man can fail to regard the laws that pertain to sleep and work, with
impunity, no more than he can disregard the laws of gravitation.
There seems to be a unanimity of belief among those qualified to know, that Dr.
Dowies habit of pushing himself beyond what the human constitution will bear,
gradually undermined his physical strength, and made him subject to his own
weaknesses and frailties, and finally resulted in an impairment of his faculties of
judgment and discrimination.
There was another peculiarity that had developed in the character of Dr. Dowie,
which in one respect, had enabled him to move with dispatch in the swift
development of his work, and yet in another way was a distinct hazard. That was
his habit of taking no counsel with others on important matters. In understanding
how this came about we must remember that John Alexander Dowie had spent
many years of his life among ministers who were lethargic, and whose ministry
was spiritually weak and ineffective. He completely lost confidence in them when
he came to understand that they willfully ignored and opposed great gospel truths,
such as Divine healing. A lukewarm condition dominated many a church that came
under his observation. In the formative years of his ministry, he found few who
could sympathetically counsel with him and at the same time help him in his quest
for power with God.

141

JOHN ALEXANDER DOWIE

A LIFE STORY OF TRIALS, TRAGEDIES AND TRIUMPHS

It came to pass in the course of time, that the more and more, he was thrown upon
his own resources and judgment. For years he stood practically alone as far as he
was aware in preaching the Gospel of healing. He was an object of persecution by
practically all ecclesiastical authorities. It is not any great wonder that at last he
came to the place where he confided in no one but himself, and gradually, he
assumed the same complex that Elijah hada feeling that there was no one left on
earth that contended for the true faith, but he himself.
Such was an unfortunate mistake, for it cut him off from the counsel of othersa
most serious circumstance. For God had ordained that ministers as members of
the Body of Christ should be open to advice one of another. In the Early Church,
they did not just depend on revelations. When important circumstances developed
which required that a vital judgment be made, the apostles and elders came
together in a body, consulted together, and arrived at an official decision. Dr.
Dowie made all his decisions, and consulted no one except in subordinate matters.
He thus deprived himself of valuable counsel, and removed from before him the
ordinary restraints that might have checked him in the making of rash decisions.
He should have known better. A man who had been as completely fooled as he had
been by a confidence man, should not have relied too much on his own sagacity,
but should have been more cautious and more willing to have accepted the counsel
of others. This was a serious defect in the character of Dowiecertainly a
contributing factor in mistakes that would have never been made if he had allowed
himself to take counsel on important matters.
While Dr. Dowie led the way in reintroducing certain great truths to the church,
yet on many of the more simple matters of life, his judgment was faulty and
inferior to that of other men. This is often the case with leaders who have obtained
eminence in some particular field, but usually such men are wise enough to rely on
the counsel of others whose judgment concerning certain things may be more
reliable than their own, especially in matters of business.
For a long time Dr. Dowie stood nearly alone in his battle for Divine healing.
(There were others, of course, such as Dr. A. B. Simpson, but he attracted only
national attention.) When he first came to America, some of the churches accepted
his message and he was given invitation to speak before large groups of ministers.
Dr. Dowie, in those days, always manifested a graciousness in the pulpit and
showed fine courtesy in speaking to ministers of other denominations. But this
state of affairs was not to last long. Leaders in ecclesiastical circles frowned on the
ministry of healing, and they were convinced that if Dr. Dowie continued to speak
in their churches, it would lead to trouble, and sooner or later would upset the
general ecclesiastical equilibrium. Church periodicals began to carry attacks
against him and his ministry of prayer for the sick.

142

JOHN ALEXANDER DOWIE

A LIFE STORY OF TRIALS, TRAGEDIES AND TRIUMPHS

When John Alexander Dowie perceived that the church authorities had turned
against him, he did not spare them. Master of the invective, he denounced the
apostasy that had caused the ecclesiastics to deny Gods power of healing. So far,
so good. But a man who is master of the invective must be careful that his own
spirit is not carried away by the fires of controversy. However, Dr. Dowie who
always was sensitive to criticism - which flow rose against him in full flood - began
to spend more and more time in his pulpit, especially after the Elijah Declaration,
in denouncing and castigating his enemies. As a natural result, his ministry of the
Word which had been a great blessing to many, began to suffer. This change in his
style of preaching was noted with sorrow by the more spiritual members of Zions
congregation. The situation, however, did not improve. Apparently Dr. Dowie
came to the conclusion that God required him to pass judgment on all men. Thus
the broad scope of his ministry which had attracted worldwide attention narrowed
down to a strongly sectarian character, practically restricting Gods program to his
own projects. Subsequently, his preaching gradually deteriorated into a
denunciation of his enemies, lectures on political views, exhortations to invest
more liberally in Zions business projects, etc. Slowly but certainly, Dr. Dowie was
becoming hopelessly involved and entangled in the natural affairs of life.
MRS. JEANIE DOWIE
What part, if any, did Mrs. Dowie play in the mistakes of her husband? Some have
felt that she was a contributing factor in his decline. They have asserted that when
prosperity came to the Dowie family, she lost her simplicity of life; that she bought
gowns in Paris and indulged in extravagances. Some have said that she was given
to nagging. Certain it is true that in the last year of Dr. Dowies life there came a
rift between husband and wife which was most unfortunate.
Nevertheless, the evidence shows that there were things in Mrs. Dowies favor.
During the dark years of poverty and misfortune she stood faithfully by her
husband and shared his troubles, his sorrows, and his trials without complaint.
More than once she witnessed the sale of her household furnishings in order that
her husband might obtain money to promote the cause of Christ. Not every wife
would agree to as painful steps as these. She spent many hours with her husband
while he was visiting and ministering to the sick. She knew what it was to suffer for
the cause of Christ. In later years Mrs. Dowie preached not infrequently and
ministered from the platform in an acceptable manner. Some of her messages are
recorded in LEAVES OF HEALING, and they reveal a woman who had genuine
interest in the work of the Lord. Most significant is the fact that up until the last
year or two of Dr. Dowies life he always spoke highly and devotedly of his wife.
Nevertheless, it seems to be partly true that in later years there was some measure
of decline in Mrs. Dowies spiritual lifea decline that often results when one is
thrust into unexpected affluence. At the crucial time of Dr. Dowies life, when he

143

JOHN ALEXANDER DOWIE

A LIFE STORY OF TRIALS, TRAGEDIES AND TRIUMPHS

needed help so desperately, it does not appear that his wife was a spiritual
reservoir of strength that he could fall back upon. It was a great opportunity to be a
stabilizing factor in the life of a man who had been so signally used of God.
Admittedly Mrs. Dowie faced a very difficult problem, and perhaps few women
would have been equal to the demands of the situation.
There are those who tell us that having sudden access to money after her
husbands success m Chicago, Mrs. Dowie succumbed to the allure of finery and
fashion. Some believe that she influenced her husband to spend extravagantly in
the building and the appointing of Shiloh House. Yet John Alexander Dowie can
not blame his wife for his mistakesat least, only slightly. Perhaps she failed him
in his hour of need, but it is difficult to see that her part was more than a minor
contributing factor in his troubles. After her husbands death in 1907, she lived
until 1933, and as I an as the record goes, she lived and died a Christian woman.
Whatever the cause, John Alexander Dowie apparently lost the simplicity of the
years when he had his greatest power with God. To his credit it must be observed,
that in his earlier ministry, he deliberately chose the hard way when he could have
enjoyed the comforts and conveniences of a prosperous pastorate. When he left
Newtown, Australia, he sold many of his possessions and took a humble residence,
that he might accomplish what he believed was Gods will for him.
But with the prosperity that came to him in America, eventually the simplicity of
his life was altered. He came to the conclusion, and apparently Mrs. Dowie abetted
his proposals, that it would be to his advantage to build a costly executive mansion
in which he could entertain important personages. This large edifice when finished
was elaborately appointed with expensive furnishings.
But the common people of Zion, who lived in their humble dwellings, furnished
with the barest of necessities, and who eked out a meager living on ten or fifteen
dollars a week, could hardly look upon this imposing structure of several stories
without feeling the great contrast, and wondering if there had not been an
extravagance. Gradually, Dr. Dowie was losing the sympathetic contact and
understanding with his people which had been so marked while he was at Chicago.
All these things were warning signals, for history has shown that when a man of
God begins living in a manner that his neighbors feel is extravagant, his spiritual
influence begins to decline.
Those who have attempted to evaluate the life of John Alexander Dowie, have
usually followed one of two patterns; either they denounce him as a mountebank
and an impostor, or else they contend that he could have done no wrong. We
cannot believe that either view is the correct one. After carefully studying the
events of his ministry and analyzing the significant portions of his life, we are

144

JOHN ALEXANDER DOWIE

A LIFE STORY OF TRIALS, TRAGEDIES AND TRIUMPHS

compelled to believe that he was a man specially raised up to usher in a new era of
faith in the church, and that to no small extent he fulfilled that purpose, but that
toward the close of his life, due to fundamental causes, to which he no doubt by
neglect contributed, his habits of life became unnatural, and he succumbed to
impressions that affected the soundness of his judgment.
Some have supposed that Dr. Dowie lost his mind, but this contention is
inaccurate, if we consider the term in the ordinary sense that it is understood.
John Alexander Dowies mind even to the close of his life was characterized with
remarkable clarity of thought, except for a peculiar impairment of which we shall
shortly speak. When a few months before his death he defended his position in a
published statement his writing shows the same preciseness which characterized
his thinking throughout his entire life.
Nor is there evidence of a so-called split personality in Dr. Dowie, which involves
that strange dual reaction of the mind that is commonly known in its extreme form
as the Dr. Jekyl and Mr. Hyde complex. Such aberrations are not uncommon, but
this was not Dr. Dowies trouble. His nature was the very opposite of one afflicted
with emotional stability. In times of stress and tension there was an intensity of
purpose that never wavered. Some have thought he had a tendency to a
persecution complex, but actually most of Dr. Dowies persecution was very real,
and far from fancied or imagined.
Having made these reservations, it must necessarily be admitted that a very
definite mental phenomenon occurred in the life of John Alexander Dowie that
was to profoundly affect his ministry. Through some weakness developed by
overwork, or other causes which we have mentioned, there developed in the mind
of Dr. Dowie a fixation which strangely altered his personality. By a fixation we
mean that peculiar attitude of the mind by which it accepts a certain impression or
fixed idea, of which there is no adequate proof of its reality.
It is not generally realized, but it is a fact that fixations are rather common things,
and more people than might be supposed are affected that way, or are on the
border-line of such an affliction. Such persons are often called queer or eccentric.
Sometimes, however, they hold positions of power and trust. These eccentricities
usually are of a nature that they do no one any particular harm, although
unfortunately, this is not always true.
As in the case of Dr. Dowie, the person so affected may be brilliant, highly
intellectual, and absolutely rational on all subjects, until the mind strikes a certain
channel of thought. Then rationality is lost, being overshadowed and dominated by
the fixed idea. In the case where a man holds a position of power and authority, the
mental eccentricity is not always immediately recognized for what it is. Especially

145

JOHN ALEXANDER DOWIE

was this true of Dr. Dowie, whose followers had become used to his venturing into
bold and unusual undertakings.
A fixation has that peculiarity that it completely dominates the mind of the
individual. It may be compared to the impression that the mind receives when it is
asleep. The sub-conscious mind believes whatever impression is conveyed to it by
the imaginative powers of the brain. Upon awaking, of course, the conscious mind
with its faculty of discrimination instantly dissolves everything but reality. In the
case of a fixation the impression persists at all times.
This peculiar mental belief, which we are considering, is therefore something quite
different than the knowledge one learns through his senses, which has an
agreement with the laws of physical proof. It is also quite different from that which
one learns by faith, which likewise is in harmony with the laws of spiritual proof.
For example the born-again experience is known by faithyet, it is not something
mysterious, bizarre or incapable of proof. The born-again experience is a reality
that can be proved as often as there is a needy repentant sinner who will ask God
to save him.
But the mind which has been affected by a fixation needs neither spiritual nor
natural proof. It neither requires nor asks for proof. The less sound or reasonable
the fixed idea is often has a direct relation to the tenaciousness with which the
individual clings to it. The obsession becomes a part of his mind, and its
importance overshadows everything else.
Fixations are common things affecting the beliefs of people both in the secular and
religious worlds, although not always recognized as such. For example, the theory
of evolution so obviously fallacious, is held with an unrelenting tenacity by some,
who on other subjects may be profound thinkers. That this incredible theory which
assumes that something came from nothing, violating the fundamental law of the
natural world the law of conservation of matter and energy, violating every other
law of evidence and experience should be seriously entertained by mature men can
only be explained by the fact that their minds have come under a delusion. Such
persons hold to the error with an unyielding grip but with a fanatical devotion to it;
they insist on imposing their views upon others, even seeking to force the teaching
of them in the schools. Such a fixation is apparently of the order expressed in II
Thess. 2 11-l7a strong delusion - which is permitted to come on reprobate men,
committed to unbelief.
There are lesser obsessions of not so serious a nature, and which do not so
seriously affect the soul. Many prominent men who have achieved fame in their
respective fields, have had fixations. A well-known example is the late William
Randolph Hearst, who became obsessed with ideas which caused him to do
extremely eccentric things. Collecting antiques became a mania with him. Once he

146

JOHN ALEXANDER DOWIE

A LIFE STORY OF TRIALS, TRAGEDIES AND TRIUMPHS

bought a European castle, had it dismantled and shipped to America. It was never
uncrated for he had no use for it. Henry Ford, who built the Ford Empire and
through his Model T, in some respects, revolutionized the American way of life,
developed in his later years strange phobias. He imagined that phantom enemies
were out to get him, and he had his great manufacturing plant filled with spies to
guard against the supposed menace. Persistent beliefs which have no basis in
reality are fixations. Henry Ford imagined he could stop the great European war,
by sending out a peace shipa gesture so hopeless, considering the magnitude and
desperate character of the great conflict, that even a schoolboy would have known
it had no hope of succeeding.
The same frailties that exist among men in the secular world have a way of
manifesting themselves among believers unless they are spiritually on the alert. To
truly understand the mysteries of God, requires a pure heart, balanced judgment,
and prayerful and reverent inquiry into the things of God. There is no more fertile
field for error than in the case of those who with unspiritual or reckless minds
explore the great vistas of Divine revelation. The Apostle Paul oft repeated the
warning that believers should adhere to sound doctrine. The alternative is to ride
some hobby horse, or get off on some tangent that violates the spirit of
evangelical truththus further dividing the Body of Christ.
The great practical doctrines of the Bible are well established by the Scriptures and
require no subtle arguments to sustain them, and their benefits can be easily
demonstrated. On the other hand, there are doctrines which because of their
nature are to some extent involved in mysterywhich are better to be believed
rather than to become the subject for un-Christian disputations or profitless
speculation. Yet often it has been that men have gotten their attention fixed on
some minor doctrinal detail, and have magnified it, enlarged it, added to it until
the position finally held becomes a wholly distorted truth. How sad it is to see a
man with abilities which, no doubt, could be greatly used of God, lose interest in
the great evangelical truths, the salvation of lost souls, and become obsessed with a
hobby horse that immobilizes his talents for God, and reduces his value to God
and humanity to that of a cipher!
Practically all false teaching involves a fixation in the mind of the victim who
embraces it. Almost invariably the person will become more zealous for that which
is false than that which is true. Such is the case of those who follow after Millennial
Dawnism, Mormonism, Spiritualism, Christian Science, Unity, etc.
An interesting example is the peculiar state of mind of those who embrace
Christian Science. It is hard to believe that any one would imagine that God
permitted eighteen centuries to pass by before He raised up Mary Baker Eddy, to
explain to the world what the Bible means, and who in so doing, propounds such
astonishing inanities that there is no sin, no sickness, no death! Yet despite such

147

JOHN ALEXANDER DOWIE

A LIFE STORY OF TRIALS, TRAGEDIES AND TRIUMPHS

vaporings which are so utterly at variance with the Scriptures and all experiences
and defy all proof, there are those who permit themselves to come under their
spell. Once under that influence, the victims powers of discrimination are lost, and
rarely they escape its grasp.
Even godly people unless they reverently seek the Mind of Christ, are open to
fixations, which, though of a less dangerous kind, result in senseless divisions and
schisms. There are fixations involving the doctrine of Divine sovereignty, of
prophetic interpretations, of modes and formulas of water baptism, of the
definition of sanctification, on the manner of impartation of the Gifts of the Spirit,
all of which if allowed a loud voice among Spirit-filled people, seek to divide the
Body of Christ. The mark of error always is, that it demands emphasis above and
beyond the great evangelical truths. Moreover, the spirit of error always seeks
disagreement rather than unity and agreement of Gods people.
And now to return to Dr. Dowie, who came under the fixed belief that he was
Elijah the Restorer as foretold by the prophets. As we have said before, we desire
not to judge, except to point out that the record of history after he made the
Declaration shows that the things that he dreamed of doing as Elijah the Restorer,
failed to come to pass.
Could Dr. Dowie have saved himself from this particular obsession which took
possession of his faculties? In attempting to answer this question, we would
probably be violating the principles declared in I Cor. 4:5 where we are
admonished to judge nothing before the time. But we can at least call to attention
the fact that a Christians safety, especially when he is in a position of great
responsibility, is ever to seek a humility of spirit, until that humility permeates the
deepest recesses of his nature. Then delusions of exaltation will no doubt find poor
soil to work on.
In considering the closing years of John Alexander Dowie, it is only as one bears in
mind the things which we have discussed, that he will be able to understand the
mysteries and paradoxes which appear in the final chapters of his life.
Summed up, the situation as respects Dr. Dowies changed outlook after the Elijah
Declaration, is reduced to this. He utterly believed that as a fulfillment of
prophecy, God raised him up to bring about a restoration of worldwide extent, of
all things spoken by the prophets. This if true actually involved and anticipated
nothing more nor less than a dispensational change in Gods dealings with the
human race. John Alexander Dowie so regarded it. He believed that the ministry of
his office, and the ministry of his Restoration Host would affect world changes
prophetically incident to the ushering in of the Millennium and the Return of
Christ. In the exalted position of such an office, he assumed that the ordinary laws
that governed business, economics, and the general conduct of human affairs,

148

JOHN ALEXANDER DOWIE

A LIFE STORY OF TRIALS, TRAGEDIES AND TRIUMPHS

could not apply to him. Such considerations were too minor, so he believed, to be
involved in the supreme destiny of his mission. Thus did John Alexander Dowie set
the stage for ultimate disaster. He was not only attempting more than any man
could accomplish, but he was also dispensationally out of step with Gods plan.
As we view the situation from the vantage point of a half a century later, we see
that it was patently Satans master scheme to interrupt the work which God really
gave him to do. But, alas, the man of God could not realize, nor understand this.
The great ministry of healing which God had committed to him, and by which
means he achieved his great success, gradually diminished in power and results,
chiefly because he had so many other problems confronting him, that he was
forced to neglect it.
Had any other man living announced such a program, or tried to undertake what
John Alexander Dowie attempted, the unreasonableness of the undertaking would
have been obvious to all. But because of the unique power of his earlier ministry,
which had gained so great a momentum during those years in Chicago, and which
placed at his disposal or made available to him large sums of money, he was able
for a time, before the inherent flaws of his plans became discernible to his
followers, to make a fair showing.

CHAPTER XXVIII

A TRAGIC DAY IN MAY

IN a visitation of sorrow there is a strange, cleansing action that tends to purge

away the dross and the vanities to which the soul clings. Many a person in the time
of sorrow has been led to surrender his life to Christ, through that experience
having realized the folly of earthly things and the brief duration of the brightest
hopes of man. Perhaps in the hour of sorrow that was to come to Dr. Dowie, there
might be a chance for a restoration of simplicity to his lifeperhaps there might be
a change in the drifting tide of events that seemed to be directing the course of the
ship of Zion toward the shoals and rocks of disaster.
Any interpretation of the significance of a sorrow that comes to a life, should be
made with the greatest of reserve and diffidence. Sorrows have a way of coming to
all, the saint and the sinner, the good and the bad. Christ was a man of sorrows
and acquainted with grief. Those who have studied the Scriptures and reflected its
teachings in the light of common experience know that sorrow and trouble do not
indicate necessarily that one is out of the will of God. Some godly people have had
sorrow upon sorrow. There is no more risky thing than to point to someone who
has suffered severe trials in his life and say, This would not have happened, if you
had not sinned. He who says that may live to see tragedy come to his own
doorstep, and he will find poor consolation then in the record of the words that he
has spoken. Life is a complicated thing that will not reduce itself to oversimplification. As the Psalmist observed, the wicked sometimes prosper and
spread themselves like a green bay tree, while the righteous often suffer bitter
trials and pass through waters of deep sorrow.
Having made this qualification, we cannot overlook the fact that disaster in ones
life can also be a signal, that somewhere along the road, one may have wittingly or
unwittingly stepped aside from the charted path of Gods will. The defeat at Ai was
a warning to Joshua that something had gone wrong, and it was time for him to
find out where the trouble was. Whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth. This does
not mean that the Lord directly sends sickness and disease upon an individual, but
it can mean that the person is living at a level where he is vulnerable to the attacks
of the enemy. Occasionally when people go afar from the course, the only way that
God can arrest them, if at all, is through tragedy. The Psalmist said, and he knew
by experience the truth of his words, Before I was afflicted I went astray: but now
have I kept thy word. (Psalms 119: 67) It is evident that when the still small

150

JOHN ALEXANDER DOWIE

A LIFE STORY OF TRIALS, TRAGEDIES AND TRIUMPHS

voice of the Spirit is no longer heeded, God may, and often does, speak through
tragedy.
What the true circumstances were in the case of John Alexander Dowie, we do not
say, nor shall we attempt to judge. The events which follow perhaps speak for
themselves.
It was May of the year 1902. Winter was breaking up rapidly, and after the
temporary lull imposed by the frost, there was a rush to renew building in the city.
People were now moving into Zion in large numbers. All over the settlement,
foundations for new homes were being laid, and the sound of the saw and the
hammer rang out even into the night as men labored by the light of lanterns. All
this was pleasant music to the ears of John Alexander Dowie. This year he
envisioned Zions greatest progress, and the scene he was now witnessing
indicated to him he had estimated correctly.
The city of Zion was indeed taking shape. People passing through who were
previously familiar with that area, scarcely recognized it now. The large Elijah
Hospice was finished or nearly so. Other administration buildings were nearing
completion. The wheels of the lace factory were busily humming in the process of
turning out thousands of yards of fine lace. Dr. Dowie observed all this, and
regarded it with no little pride and satisfaction.
The General Overseer now worked harder than ever. His natural buoyancy of spirit
made him believe that he had an inexhaustible well of energy, and he proceeded as
usual to burn the candle at both ends. There were those in Zion who could have
given him prudent counsel on this and a number of other matters. They could have
warned him that seeds of trouble had been planted, that required only time to
bring forth a harvest. But success had made Dr. Dowie supremely confident. He
regarded caution as a lack of faith, and was in no mind to give attention to it. Some
of his best business men felt that things were not being judiciously handled. But
seeing no hope of making Dr. Dowie aware of the situation, they quietly withdrew
their membership and moved from the city.
One thing was certain. John Alexander Dowie was unshakably convinced of his
Elijah identity. The previous fall, he had begun a series of Elijah Restoration
messages. By the first of May, 1902, he had preached a series of thirty-five of these
sermons. In his preaching he severely took to task all those who had opposed Zion.
It was evident that he believed that God had commissioned him to pronounce
judgment on all the churches. Dr. Dowie declared that all were apostate, and their
only hope was that they come into Zion. He firmly believed that he had been sent
on a mission of restoration that he was the actual fulfillment of certain Old
Testament prophecies. For him the Rubicon was crossed. There could be no
retracing of his steps. It was up to history now, to record in its relentless way the

151

JOHN ALEXANDER DOWIE

A LIFE STORY OF TRIALS, TRAGEDIES AND TRIUMPHS

result of the Declaration. Would the course of events justify the path that had been
taken?
Mrs. Dowie had made a trip to Paris and had returned. The gowns she brought
back with her were a far cry from those she had worn when she had arrived from
Australia fourteen years before. That her wardrobe had an up-to-datedness and
smartness of style was not to be denied! Certainly, her new finery attracted the
attention of all the ladies of Zion. It is possible that she would not have been
flattered by some of the remarks that were being made on the subject. More than a
few thought she was putting on airs. It is doubtful, however, that such remarks
reached her ears.
Shiloh House was nearing completion, and Dr. Dowie had given careful
instructions concerning its appointments. He expected soon to remove his offices
from the suite of rooms in Chicago where his son and daughter still lived.
Gladstone at the time was attending college and his daughter, Esther, was also
attending school in the city.
This in brief was the state of things in Zion, when the specter of tragedy was about
to cross the path of John Alexander Dowie. On May 14, early in the morning, while
the General Overseer was in Zion, a terrible and tragic drama swiftly unfolded in
his suite of rooms in Chicago.
His only daughter, Esther, now coming into womanhood, for whom he felt the
greatest pride and fatherly affection, was to meet with the terrible accident caused
by a fire from an upset alcohol lamp. The flames wrapped around her; burning her
so severely that three fourths of the skin of her flesh was reduced to a crisp. From
the LEAVES OF HEALING we get the details of the poignant and heart-breaking
story.
THE TRAGIC DEATH OF HIS DAUGHTER
It was on Wednesday, May 14, 1902, when the tragic event occurred. At about six
oclock in the morning, Esther Dowie had arisen and was curling her hair by the
means of an iron heated with an alcohol lamp. Her father, who never had any use
for alcohol no matter what it was used for, had forbidden it ever to be brought into
his home. Esther had always been known as a sweet, dutiful daughter, but this
time she had disobeyed. Somehow, on that fateful morning, she upset the lamp so
that the fluid poured on her dress and the carpet. Immediately a brilliant flame
shot into the air and in an instant she was encircled in fire. Poor girl! Had she
thought to have rolled herself immediately in the bed clothing, the fire would have
been smothered and she no doubt would have been only slightly injured. But,
panic-stricken by what had happened, she screamed for help. Alas, the door was

152

JOHN ALEXANDER DOWIE

A LIFE STORY OF TRIALS, TRAGEDIES AND TRIUMPHS

locked! The poor girl with her clothes blazing and she rapidly becoming a flaming
torch, was compelled to unlock the door before anyone could reach her.
At the sound of her agonizing cries for help, the maid and others ran frantically to
the door, where with horror they could see the flames as they leaped above the
level of the transom. At last as Esther got the door unlocked and it was flung open,
they beheld the terrifying sight of the unfortunate girl burning to death. She was
tugging at her night dress trying to get it off. Willing hands tore the burning
garments from her, but, alas, her rescuers were too late. She had suffered burns
that had destroyed the skin on nearly three fourths of her body. Her face, however,
was untouched by flames, and she not only remained conscious then, but also
throughout the day.
The tragic news was telephoned to Dr. Dowie, who was in Zion City. Shocked
beyond measure, he recovered enough to send the following word to his daughter,
Go to her at once and tell her to hold on to God, that Father is praying for her and
that Father and Mother will come as quickly as steam and horses can carry them.
He called his wife and broke the terrible news to her. They hastened to get ready.
In a matter of minutes the coach appeared at the door. The coachman, realizing
the gravity of the situation, urged the horses at full gallop to Waukegan, six miles
away, in time to catch the 7:45 train. It must have seemed a long journey that
morning to the Overseer, frantic with anxiety for his only daughter, fearing the
worst, but hoping against hope that the situation was not as bad as he had been
informed. At 9:15 he entered his daughters room, and found her in great pain.
After prayer the pains gradually lessened, and within an hour she was resting more
easily and able to carry on a conversation.
But the father and those who attended her were not deceived; they knew that
nearly three fourths of the skin was gone, and in the natural order of things, she
could not last long unless a great miracle were wrought. Not only did the burns
cover so great an area of the body, but some of them were so deep that they had
turned black.
By three oclock the daughter realized the possibility of a fatal termination of her
case, but she was remarkably cheerful. As the afternoon waned all realized there
was no chance for recovery. At nine oclock that evening to the utter grief of her
parents, she passed away.
On Friday the memorial service took place, with seven thousand in attendance.
Two trains brought many from Chicago to Zion City. When the funeral trains
arrived, practically the entire population of the city was at the depot. The casket
was removed from the train and the procession moved slowly up Shiloh Boulevard
and then turned south to Lake Mound Cemetery. Dr. Dowie felt that he could not

153

JOHN ALEXANDER DOWIE

A LIFE STORY OF TRIALS, TRAGEDIES AND TRIUMPHS

give the task of preaching the memorial message to another. We give a portion of
his address at the grave, to which thousands listened with tear-dimmed eyes:
THE GENERAL OVERSEERS ADDRESS
My beloved friends, I could not give this sacred task to another. How hard it is to
keep the bitter tears from flowing, God knows. It has seemed many times these last
two days as if this heart would break and I must go with her who twined herself
about my heart, from infancy up through the lovely, sweet Christian maidenhood
that has just passed into womanhood.
Beloved, I stand amid peculiar circumstances. The sweet daughter whose body lies
here was with me in our service in the auditorium on Sabbath day; the lovely,
sweet, gracious maiden, longing for the time when school days would be past, and
she could give all her heart, life, and thought to the development of Gods work in
Zion City.
I will not enter upon the details of the heart-rending accident which plunged lily
dear daughter from the midst of life into death. When I saw her after the deadly
horrible burns, the first word she said to me was, Papa, before you prayI sinned
in disobeying you. It is all my fault. Forgive me before you pray. I know God has
forgiven me.
Oh, I said, you knew Papa would do it before you asked him, almost, but I am
glad to say, yes. And I kissed her lips within which the fire had entered. This was
the dreadful thing. It had entered into her breast and we did not know it at first.
But, oh, we had a most precious twelve hours! The pain was all taken away, thank
God! From within half an hour of our going up to her to the moment of her
departure her poor, burned body did not suffer any pain at all. She was not
insensible for a moment, and remained conscious and bright to within five minutes
of her departure, having me sing for her, Lead, Kindly Light, and repeat Gods
words. Oh, those precious hours will never be forgotten!
The only act of disobedience, willful or direct, that I ever knew her to commit was
this one. She only once stepped aside from the path of obedience, and then the
devil struck her with that liquid fire and distilled damnation, which I have fought
against all my life, and which I forbade her ever to use. Oh, the grief to us that this
glorious life is put out by one blow of the devil!
My own daughter was beloved as none can tell: for she was a part of my life. It will
be so dark without her. I do not know sometimes how to live. But I must live for
you and for God and for His work.

154

JOHN ALEXANDER DOWIE

A LIFE STORY OF TRIALS, TRAGEDIES AND TRIUMPHS

When at two oclock, Wednesday afternoon, I told her that God was not hearing
prayer, and that a succession of miracles would have to be wrought, which God was
not apparently going to work, she asked, What does that mean, Papa? I said, It
means that you are to go from us, daughter, within a few hours. The conditions are
now such that I must tell you with my own lips. She said, Tell me the conditions
of my body. I explained them to her pathologically. She said, I understand; I
must die unless God works an almost impossible succession of miracles.
Now, I said, darling, I am going to hold on to Him about it, peradventure He
will.
Her body, two thirds or three fourths of it, was burned to a crisp. Thank God, her
face was not burned. Oh, her face was so sweet! It was the only thing left to us, and
the great dark eyes looked out of the face. I gave her some messages from some she
knew so well, and one was, Peace I leave with you. She turned right around and
said, Papa, I am not afraid; you cannot suppose I am! I answered, No, dear,
there is not a drop of cowards blood in either of us; we know in Whom we have
trusted.
She said, Oh, God has forgiven me. Then she cried, Whether living or dying, I
am the Lords; and if I should pass through those deep waters, they shall not
overflow me. I know they shall not! For thou art with me!
Then we talked together. We had a very sweet talk. It was so beautiful to find her
body free from pain, until the blood began to rise and choke her breath. She asked,
Father, will it be long? I said, Not long, dear. Lord, take me, she said; and we
prayed it at last, because we could not bear to see her suffer any more. Then I sang,
Lead, Kindly Light. We repeated the Shepherds psalm. She repeated until the
words, Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no
evil. And that was all we could hear. She closed her lips. And she was sleeping.
I sang to her the song I have sung so many times to those who were sleeping in
Jesus, and when I had finished it she had departed without a sigh, without a
tremor. My hand was upon her head, and my hand upon her body, and I felt no
quiver.
And now I stand here, and I have no daughter on earth. I had only one. Mother has
no daughter, and oh, we miss her. And we are going to miss her more.
As the General Overseer was seated, very softly the Zion choir sang the words of
the good-night song which their daughter had heard her father sing as she fell
peacefully asleep in Jesus:
Sleep on, beloved, sleep and take thy rest

155

JOHN ALEXANDER DOWIE

A LIFE STORY OF TRIALS, TRAGEDIES AND TRIUMPHS

Lay down thy head upon thy Saviors breast;

We love thee well, but Jesus loves thee best
Good night! Good night! Good night!
The last words of the Overseer before he left were, Oh, I can scarcely tear myself
from the grave! She was our blessing for twenty-one years, but it is better to have
loved and lost, than never to have loved at all, because she was so precious in our
sight.
The man of God could say no more. The courage that had buoyed him up could
bear no more. As the flower-laden casket was slowly lowered, he sat on the bank of
fresh earth at its side, head sunk upon his breast, hands clasped between his knees,
and wept aloud. And while he wept, the thousands of men and women stood by
him, bent, sobbing, and sharing with the Overseer and his wife their great sorrow.
For he appeared as a man who had received a mortal wound, and could not
recover.
And now in this hour of sorrow, there was the hopeful possibility if ever it were to
be, of a clarification, a resolving in the mind of John Alexander Dowie, of the
Divine purpose for all men, great or small including himself of the eternal
importance of humility of spirit, that out of it all might be born a new simplicity of
life. But with sadness we must record that apparently no change occurred in the
drift of events nor in the attitude of Dr. Dowie. He still regarded himself as the
man of destiny, appointed to fulfill prophecy, who must restore all things spoken
of by the prophets. He would brook not the slightest criticism of his conduct of
affairs and he seemed more unwilling than ever to heed advice on anything except
minor matters. The fixation was so strong that it could not be affected by tragedy
or the deepest sorrow.
The last hour, when there might have been hope, or reason for hope, in a reversal
in the fateful course that events were taking in Zion, seemed to have passed.

156

CHAPTER XXIX

THE NEW YORK VISITATION

EVENTS were now moving swiftly in the life of John Alexander Dowie. The few
remaining years of his career were to be marked by a fast changing drama of
developments. Though absolutely sincere in his beliefs, he no longer as in days
before was the master of events, but rather the victim of them.
Strange as it might seem for a man who was handling so vast an enterprise, and
who spoke as intellectually and brilliantly on almost every subject, the enemies of
Dr. Dowie found him credulous and gullible. There was a definite reason for this.
Since he was convinced that he was indeed Elijah the Restorer, and that through
his ministry all churches in time, must fall in line with his program or be
destroyed, he was on the alert for some signs of developments of this kind. So it
came to pass that when the bishop of the Methodist Church for the Chicago district
called him on the phone, he was all interest.
Doctor, the bishop said, I have long wished to see you and talk with you, but we
are both busy men. Now, however, Dr. Buckley, who is editor of the New York
CHRISTIAN WORLD, our leading denominational periodical, is here in my study.
He also wishes to see you. Would you kindly consent to see us privately if we were
to come to your office at once?
Not realizing that only curiosity prompted the visit of these denominational
leaders, Dr. Dowie granted the interview. Upon their arrival, the three pledged
themselves not to make public anything that was said. However, at the close of the
conversations, the General Overseer concluded that he had made a deep
impression on these two leaders of Methodism. Believing that Dr. Buckley had
become a friend of Zion, he some time later sent written word through a young
reporter who was preparing an article on his work, that he would release Dr.
Buckley from his pledge and that he might write whatever he desired. He did this,
of course, believing that the editor of the CHRISTIAN WORLD would give a
favorable introduction to the reporters article. This was utter naiveness on Dr.
Dowies part, for immediately upon his Elijah Declaration, he lost forever the
confidence of practically every religious leader in the country, not to speak of the
astute Buckley, who had fought Dr. Dowie with his pen for many years. It was
therefore a stunning blow when Dr. Dowie read the October issue of the CENTURY
MAGAZINE which carried a most unfavorable account of his activities. But he

157

JOHN ALEXANDER DOWIE

A LIFE STORY OF TRIALS, TRAGEDIES AND TRIUMPHS

received his worst shock when he noted the introduction that been written by the
pen of Dr. Buckley which included the following words:
Reason must first be paralyzed, faith drugged; and this done, it would still seem
too large and abnormal a conception for open-month credulity to believe that the
Christ of the New Testament should choose the evolver and center of such a
flamboyant mixture of flesh and spirit to be the Restorer and His special
forerunner. If Dowie believes it, he is in the moonlit borderland of insanity where
large movements of limited duration have sometimes originated. If he believes it
not, he is but another imposter.
When Dr. Dowie read this article and realized that Buckleys friendliness was only
feigned, and that he had been duped by him, he was exceedingly angry.
Indignation because of such an attack would perhaps be the reaction of a normal
person, but the result that developed from Dowies reading that simple paragraph,
was so out of proportion to the cause, that it could be classified in the realms of the
bizarre. For during those moments of exasperation for the way he had been fooled,
a strange plan was born in the mind of the man who governed the destinies of
Zion. He would go to New York City, taking the thousands of his faithful Zion
members with him. There, before a vast assembled audience, he would properly
reply to Dr. Buckley for his act of folly! He would make him an object lesson to
allhe would show that no one could attack the Restorer with impunity. He would
also demonstrate to the world the soundness of his mind and his mental capacity.
Under these circumstances was the plan for the great New York visitation born.
How different was John Alexander Dowie the founder of Zion City, and the Dowie
of Australia who, on an occasion after he had been persistently assailed by many,
could testify that only once did he make a public reply to his criticsyet in the end,
triumphed with a ministry that stirred that southern continent! But decisions were
no longer made as in those days when he spent many hours waiting on God. One
thing dominated his mind after the attack by Dr. Buckleyan implacable desire for
personal vindication.
John Alexander Dowie was always a man of action. The whole plan of the visitation
developed swiftly in his mind. He would charter several trains, and with his
Restoration Host, would go to New York City. There he would rent Madison
Square Garden. The venture would cost a quarter of a million dollars, but that, he
felt, was only a minor consideration in view of the objectives he hoped to achieve.
In New York City he would be able to show to the world how great Zion was. When
he was through, people would show a new respect for his Restoration Program.
And he would not forget, while in the great city, to take the deceiver, Buckley,
apart and make him a public example.

158

In this spirit Dr. Dowie began laying plans for the Visitation. The Seventies which
had been organized for over a period of four years were disbanded. In their place
he organized the Zion Restoration Host. Those who became members took the
following solemn vow:
I VOW in the name of God, my Father, and of Jesus Christ, His Son and My
Savior, and of the Holy Ghost, who proceeds from the Father and the Son, that I
will be a faithful member of the Zion Restoration Host, organized at the Shiloh
Tabernacle in the city of Zion, on Lords Day, September twenty-first, nineteen
hundred and two, and I declare that I recognize John Alexander Dowie, General
Overseer of the Christian Catholic Church in Zion, of which I am a member, in his
threefold prophetic office, as Messenger of the Covenant, the Prophet foretold by
Moses, and Elijah the Restorer.
I promise to the full extent of my power to obey all rightful orders issued by him
directly or by his properly appointed officers, and to proceed to any part of the
world, wherever he shall direct, as a member of Zion Restoration Host, and that all
family ties and obligations and all relations to all human government shall be held
subordinate to this Vow, this Declaration, and this Promise.
This I make in the presence of God and of all the visible and invisible witnesses.
During the summer of 1903, plans for the New York Visitation moved along at
rapid pace. Eight trains were chartered for the trip which was scheduled for
October and was to last for two weeks. The round trip fare per person was only
fifteen dollars, and pressure was put on every member of the Zion Restoration
Host to go. Zion Guard was organized into a regiment and the great choir was
drilled and prepared for their part in the undertaking.
Then on Thursday, October 15, 1903, the eight trains departed from Chicago, each
going by a different route, but all meeting the following morning in New York City.
The story of the Visitation was good copy for the newspapers over the country.
Each one was carrying minute details of this strange expedition. No religious mass
movement of its size and scope had taken place since the Crusades, and in New
York City, shrewd and sophisticated reporters prepared lengthy reports for their
respective papers. With few exceptions these reports appearing in the newspapers
were unfriendly, and some were filled with ridicule and derision, which of course
caused Dr. Dowie to be in a most unhappy frame of mind.
Sunday afternoon, Dr. Dowie was scheduled to preach his first sermon in New
York. Long before the hour, Madison Square Garden was jammed and the streets
outside were thronged with uncounted thousands more. The Zion City Band
played while the crowd was being seated. After this the great white-robed choir
marched in, and then the three thousand members of the Restoration Hostan

159

imposing spectacletook their places. The seating of the Host was the cue for the
singing to begin.
It was a moving scene. The great audience inside the auditorium watched with
solemn interest as the service progressed. Finally, it came time for John Alexander
Dowie to take his place at the pulpit. He walked forward and surveyed the vast
audience before him. It appeared to him that he had laid his plans wellthe hour
that he had been waiting for nearly a year, had struck. But he was soon to discover
someone else laid plans, too. The scheme of these planners was simple and
effective. At a pre-arranged moment, a few persons at strategic places got up and
began conspicuously to make their way to the exits. Then more left and after them,
still others. Dr. Dowie could not help notice it and it confused him. He shouted for
them to stop, but a steady trickle of people kept leaving. Anyone experienced with
crowds knows what this means. The suggestion received by the audience had a
chain reaction effect. Dr. Dowie saw his hold on the audience was being lost.
Frivolous and mischievous persons, who had no part in the original scheme, were
now joining the march to the doors. Though Dr. Dowie shouted at the guards to
stop all that were leaving, it was impossible for them to check the tide, and the
exodus continued. Before it stopped, several thousand people had left the building.
The battery of newspapermen and other writers who had been given choice seats
were busily taking notes. Dr. Dowie, veteran in handling audiences, knew
something had happened in this first crucial service that would affect the
impressiveness of the entire visitation. Baffled, he preached as best as he could,
but everyone realized that something had gone wrong. The Restoration Host
looked on with embarrassment, but was powerless to help the situation.
Another strange happening took place during the New York Visitation. The NEW
YORK WORLD published a series of letters that had been obtained from Dr.
Dowies father, which had been written by his son. In those letters Dr. Dowie
repudiated kinship with his father, declaring that the pretended relationship was
false. Actually, John Alexander Dowie looked so much like his father that people
often mistook them, one for another. Never again did his father, a genial old man,
ever set foot in his sons home. Dr. Dowie spent an evening of the Restoration Visit
giving his side of the story. Many a person was heartsick that night. They thought
of the John Alexander Dowie during the days when he was in Chicago and when
his ministry caused multitudes to marvel and give praise to God for His great
works. Now the opportunity to do good in an audience of many thousands in New
York City, was slipping away while Dr. Dowie occupied his time with such things as
defending his position in his break with his old father. Truly, it was not the same
Dowie of the years before.
The writers mother was one of the thousands who went to New York City. She
enjoyed the exhilarating effect of the trip, but her memory of the Visitation was

160

that in many respects it seemed disappointing. The articles in the newspapers, the
exodus in the first service, Dr. Dowies controversy with his father, his sermons
against Dr. Buckley and others, riots on some nights by medical students, seemed
to throw a cloud over the meetings. As far as could be seen, the results were
disproportionate in consideration of the tremendous effort that had been put forth.
Certainly there was little evidence to show that New York City had been greatly
affected either for good or bad by the visitation.

CHAPTER XXX

ROUND-THE-WORLD TOUR

ON January 1, 1904, Dr. Dowie with a party of several of his associates boarded a
private car at Zion City station, to begin the long planned round-the-world tour.
They went by way of San Antonio, and while in Texas, Dr. Dowie looked over
several large tracts of land which he contemplated buying - another one of his
numerous projects. From there the party went on to Los Angeles.
Reporters boarded the train at Pomona. They informed the party that a severe
drought had come to Southern California, and no rain had fallen for eighth
months. The reporters pointed out that Elijah of old prayed for rain after three
and a half years of drought and his prayer was answered. Wouldnt the Elijah of
this day pray for rain after only eight months of dry spell? Dr. Dowie gave them
no answer except to send word that he did not reveal his plans to the press.
Arthur Newcomb, who as Dr. Dowies associate editor, was a member of the party
gives this colorful picture of the event which followed:
During all this week the newspapers kept challenging Dr. Dowie to pray for rain some seriously, others humorously.
Hazards Pavilion was crowded at three oclock on that Sunday afternoon. The day
was warm. Californias sun blazed down upon the scene from a sky upon which no
cloud appeared. Outside, dry and dusty eucalyptus leaves rattled in a scorching
Santa Ana wind. Inside, one could feel tension in the audience. Will he dare pray
for rain? The newspapers have put him in a hole. If he does and no rain come, then
hes not Elijah. If he doesnt, then hes afraid to and thats almost worse.
At last the preacher dropped on his knees behind the pulpit. Never before had an
audience followed his prayers with more strained attention.
In its early sentences the General Overseers prayer was calmly, majestically
eloquent. As the strong rasping voice went on, there was rhythm, beauty,
earnestness, but always serenity. Dr. Dowie never ranted or became hysterical
when he prayed. The great audience sat almost breathless. At last he came to this
great and beautiful city, so happily situated between the mountains and the sea.
The assembled multitude leaned forward, hanging on every word.

162

JOHN ALEXANDER DOWIE

A LIFE STORY OF TRIALS, TRAGEDIES AND TRIUMPHS

But, God, our Father, we have seen the distress of this land, which Thou has made
so fair and fruitful. Look upon it now in Thy Mercy and send rain Thy refreshing,
life-giving rainas Thou didst send the rain upon Israel in that day when Thy
servant, Elijah the Prophet, bowed himself before Thee on Mount Carmel and
besought Thy Divine favor. Hear and answer the prayer of Thy servant, O God, that
this people may know that Thou art God and that he who speaks to Thee is sent in
the spirit and power of Elijah to turn the hearts of the children to the fathers and
the hearts of the fathers to their children, lest Thou come and smite the earth with
a curse.
Over the audience there swept a sibilant, rustling wave of sound like sudden
rushing of wind through a wood. They had come for sportnow they were a little
awed and more than a little uncomfortable. Here was simple faith and courage
they could not understand and they were afraid.
The General Overseer finished his prayer and the services went on. He preached
with more than usual fire. Whether the people believed all he said or not, they were
impressed, deeply attentive.
As his sermon drew to its close the great pavilion began to grow dark. Windows
which had been bright with sunshine were now gray. The hot, dry Santa Ana wind
was felt no more. Sounds died away and there was fear in the stillness. People
looked at one another with wonder and awe.
Suddenly the General Overseer stopped, calling as always for a rising profession.
Apparently every one rose and many repeated after him the prayer of consecration.
He called upon them to sing one stanza of a hymn. When they had sung it, he
pronounced the benediction, then said, Get to your homes quickly, for there is
sound of abundance of rain.
But he was too late.
Just as the multitude turned to go, rain descended in torrents.
From Los Angeles the party went on to San Francisco, where two services were
conducted in a theater. Then as had been planned the party embarked on an ocean
liner that carried them through the Golden Gate and westward on the long journey
to Australia, via Honolulu, and Auckland, New Zealand. Arriving in Australia, the
party was received by Wilbur Glenn Voliva, who had been placed in charge of the
Zion work in that country. Overseer Voliva was one of Dr. Dowies outstanding
ministers and his labors had borne considerable fruit during the four years of his
residence there. In anticipation of the visit, he had made arrangements for Dr.
Dowies engagements in several of the larger cities of Australia.

163

JOHN ALEXANDER DOWIE

A LIFE STORY OF TRIALS, TRAGEDIES AND TRIUMPHS

John Alexander Dowie preached a week in Sydney and then went to Melbourne.
After fulfilling several engagements there, the General Overseer and his associates
went on to Adelaide - -his old home town. It was while in this city that Dr. Dowie
ran into real trouble. One afternoon while speaking in the Town Hall, hoodlums in
the audience started to make trouble. Becoming bolder as the service progressed
they began hurling song books and other articles at the speaker. Three times they
rushed him, but each time the advance melted just before it reached the platform.
The mob which had gathered outside now began rioting, yelling and throwing
stones at the windows, shattering the panes and causing glass to fly in all
directions.
The chief of police sent word to Dr. Dowie that he had better get out while he
could, as the unruly mob was getting out of hand. Realizing now that there was
actual danger, the party slipped through the rear door and into a waiting carriage
which was guarded by the police. The coachman cracked the whip and shouted to
the horses as they leaped forward. The iron portals of the gate were opened just in
time as the horses galloped madly through, and the snarling cursing mob cringed
back to escape being trampled on. Ruffians in the foreword part of the crowd
hurled brick-bats and cobblestones after the coach as it careened drunkenly from
one side of the street to the other. It soon righted itself, however, and in a moment
outdistanced the pursuers. All escaped injury except the coachman who suffered a
painful though not serious injury from a flying missile.
It might have been supposed that after this harrowing incident, the General
Overseer would have learned caution, but apparently not. During the next
afternoon service while speaking on the Coming Age, he chanced to make this
statement:
The kings of this earth who now rule in unrighteousness will have to take a back
seat, and some of them mighty low down. King Edward will have to step down
from his throne. He cannot rule under the King of kings. Everybody knows he has
no religion to spare.
There was an angry interruption. Dr. Dowie told the interrupter to sit down. You
be still or I will say more. I will take no dictation from you or anyone else, but God
Almighty as to what I will or will not say.
That afternoon the newspapers blazed with the headlines, Dowie Vilifies the
King. Before long, reports came that mobs were forming to string Dr. Dowie up.
It was soon discovered that the rumors were not empty threats, and indeed, the
lives of other members of the party were also in danger. So great was the hostility
that had been aroused that it was suicide to attempt any more services in Adelaide.
Dr. Dowie, nevertheless, stubbornly determined to continue his engagements, and
no doubt would have, had not indignant authorities sent a peremptory notice that

164

JOHN ALEXANDER DOWIE

A LIFE STORY OF TRIALS, TRAGEDIES AND TRIUMPHS

leases on all buildings were cancelled. This decree which was found to be
irreversible, wrote finis on further meetings in the country. Incidentally, the
General Oversee was required to pay twenty pounds for damages for the broken
windows in the Town Hall which had been destroyed by the mob.
The party engaged passage on the liner MONGOLIA which was scheduled to leave
Australia, April 7. Embarking from Adelaide, the next month was spent on the long
trip to Europe, the ship docking at Marseilles, May 7, having spent just thirty days
on the high seas.
Actually, the rest of the trip was not much more than a sightseeing tour. Dr. Dowie
required the services of interpreters, and his audiences were small. In Germany he
hoped to have an audience with the Kaiser, but in this expectation he was
disappointed. He spoke two nights in a Berlin Auditorium while police reporters
were present to take down, in shorthand, everything that he said.
Reports of his words against the British King spoken at Adelaide had, of course,
reached London and had been published in the newspapers. As a result when he
arrived in London, Dr. Dowie was turned away from one hotel after another, and
finally, was obliged to find quarters in a suburban flat. He conducted one service in
Zion Tabernacle on Euston Road, during which time a mob gathered outside and
threatened to hang him up. The General Overseer escaped at last in the darkness
by the aid of a disguise.
Resentment against Dr. Dowie in London had reached such a pitch that it was
useless for him to stay longer in England. But it was two weeks before sailing time
of the LUCANIA, on which the party had engaged passage. Because of the inflamed
feeling of the populace against him he found it expedient to leave London and wait
at Boulogne, France. It was a relief to the members of the party when all were
safely aboard the LUCANIA on the day she lifted anchor for America. The ship,
however, was no sooner out to sea than it ran into a storm that lasted for four days.
Eventually the lashing gales abated and heavy rolling seas smoothed out for
pleasant sailing during the balance of the trip.
On June 30, 1904, Dr. Dowie and his party arrived back in Zion City, having been
gone exactly six months. Most of the population were waiting and cheering at the
station. The band played, the choir sang, and everybody marched to the new,
white-painted arch at the corner of Shiloh Boulevard and Elijah Avenue. It was
beautiful weather, although on account of the long drought, the crops had been
seriously affected. The people had been anxiously hoping for rain, and now that
the General Overseer had returned, they expectantly looked for him to pray for
rain as he had done in Southern California when, as a result of his prayers, the
protracted drought was broken.

165

JOHN ALEXANDER DOWIE

A LIFE STORY OF TRIALS, TRAGEDIES AND TRIUMPHS

Dr. Dowie was in high humor, and in his address said, God has answered prayer
and sent this glorious sunshine. But I have heard requests of many people here,
and have prayed that His reviving and refreshing rain may follow.
He spoke about twenty minutes and then several other members of the party and
the elders said a few words. But in the meantime, heavy clouds had spread across
the sky. Before the people realized it, large drops of rain were falling. Minutes later
a cloudburst was descending upon the city which drenched the town and
surrounding countryside with water.
Actually it seemed when John Alexander Dowie looked to God for a manifestation
of His power, the answer came almost invariably in a miraculous manner. Alas,
that so much of his time and energy was given to secular enterprises, in plans for
new business projects for the defending of his claims as prophet of the restoration,
instead of to the preaching and ministering of the great gospel of deliverance,
which had been committed to him. It is perhaps an academic question as what Dr.
Dowie might have accomplished had his ministry continued in its original simple
lines. It could hardly be denied that it would have become the greatest ministry of
centuries.
Right now, however, his mind was not on the ministry of healing. He was exercised
with plans for the creation of an apostolate, and the declaration of himself as the
First Apostle. Less than three months later, he did this very thing. If he could have
only realized that for him, how rapidly time was running out....

166

JOHN ALEXANDER DOWIE

CHAPTER XXXI

THE FIRST APOSTLE

AT the time that the Christian Catholic Church was organized, Dr. Dowie discussed
at some length what of the Apostolic Office. He had remarked that as he did not
have all the gifts of the Spirit he did not believe that he was qualified to be an
apostle. He further added that he believed an apostle must have an unusual
measure of humilitymore than he believed that he possessed.
Several years later when he made the Declaration that he was Elijah the Restorer,
he changed his viewpoint concerning his qualifications. As Messenger of the
Restoration, he believed that he was not only an apostle, but the First Apostle.
Thus it was that some eight years after organization of his church, John Alexander
Dowie stood in Shiloh Tabernacle and publicly assumed that office. At that time he
made the following proclamation:
I declare in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, in the power of the Holy Spirit, in
accordance with the Will of God our Heavenly Father, that I am, in these Times of
Restoration of all things, the First Apostle of the Lord Jesus Christ, in the Christian
Catholic Apostolic Church in Zion.
After the Declaration had been made before a large assembled audience, he
addressed the Restoration Host with the question, Do you accept me? The Host
replied, Yes. He then remarked that because of excessive toil, he had become
weary in body, and had decided to take some time for rest in preparation for work
that the Apostolic Declaration made necessary. This he explained included among
other things the bringing of the entire apostolate into existence. Actually, instead
of taking rest, his attention became diverted into making plans for a Zion
Plantation paradise in Mexico.
Though many of the congregation had been prepared to accept the Apostolic
Office, they were not a little startled when Dr. Dowie appeared on the platform,
clothed in a priestly robe of many colors, similar to the robe of the High Priest of
the ancient theocracy. The robe was elaborately embroidered with a satin miter
emblazoned with gold. Standing before the Restoration Host he made the
following proclamation: Clothed by God with Apostolic and Prophetic authority, I
now have the right to speak as the instructor of the nations.

167

JOHN ALEXANDER DOWIE

A LIFE STORY OF TRIALS, TRAGEDIES AND TRIUMPHS

Few who heard the First Apostle speak that day doubted his sincerity, as he said: I
would rather be killed now, and be clothed in my grave clothes before three oclock
this afternoon, than walk up here in my Apostolic robes, if I am not Gods First
Apostle, in these times of Restoration. I would rather my life should end now than
I should take a step that God would not approve. I have no desire to take it for my
part.
In the weeks following the Declaration, Dr. Dowie ran a series of special Apostolic
messages in the LEAVES OF HEALING, signing each of the letters with the name,
JOHN ALEXANDER, FIRST APOSTLE. Thus he repudiated the name Dowie,
which he claimed did not belong to him.
Instead of taking the rest which he had promised himself, Dr. Dowie, shortly after
this Declaration, became deeply interested in a business venture in Mexico. With a
large party accompanying him, he made the journey southward to look over land
for his long-talked-of Zion Plantation Paradise. He was received in state by
President Porfiro Diaz, who was interested in the development of Mexicos vast
uncultivated areas. Dr. Dowie also met and conversed with a number of other high
government officials who no doubt were impressed by his ability to talk in large
figures. Returning to Zion, the First Apostle spoke enthusiastically of securing
millions of acres in Tamaulipas, Mexico. He promoted the sale of Paradise
Plantation stock for the purpose of securing money for the immediate purchase of
the land. Practically every one in Zion, however, believed the project was ill-timed,
to say the least. It would require millions of dollars of investment, and those in the
know realized that Zions finances were not only in a precarious condition, but
were fast approaching a crisis. Though the people were not fully aware of the true
state of things, nevertheless they sensed that all was not well, and there was little
enthusiasm shown in the project. It was evident that the day when John Alexander
Dowie could float a new loan and secure a flood of investments was over. But he
was not discouraged. Did not God send him to restore all things? Then surely he
must not let the lack of a few hundred thousand dollars keep him from doing the
things he believed should be done. Some day when the Mexican project would be
consummated, millions in that southern country would rise up and call him
blessed. He looked upon the Zion City Bank as his own personal bank, and as long
as there was any cash in it, why should he not put it to work? He was certain that
in a short time, money would come in above what would be needed and to spare.
He therefore decided that he must be firm in not listening to those who sought to
plead caution. Thus he continued to press his plans for the Zion Plantation
Paradise.
But as September, 1905, drew nigh, an event was about to take place that was to
bring a swift conclusion to further plans and dreams of John Alexander Dowie. On
the 24th of that month which was a Sunday, Dr. Dowie entered the pulpit of Shiloh
Tabernacle to preach his farewell message before going South again to further

168

JOHN ALEXANDER DOWIE

A LIFE STORY OF TRIALS, TRAGEDIES AND TRIUMPHS

make arrangements for the Zion Paradise Plantation Project. Though he did not
know it, that day was to be a fateful day in the life of the man who, just one year
before, had declared himself the First Apostle of the Christian Catholic Church.
Arthur Newcomb in his book, DOWIE ANOINTED OF THE LORD, tells the story
of what happened that afternoon:
IT was the last Sunday afternoon in September. Mellow, golden sunshine flooded
Zion Citys tree-crowned hill.
Solemnly a long procession marched around the square of tawny grass which,
more than five years before, had been consecrated to Zion Temple.
Proudly the erect, gray-bearded figure stood at the entrance of Shiloh Tabernacle
and reviewed them as they entered.
In every direction from his place of vantage he looked upon the solid material into
which these people, in obedience to him, had wrought the stuff of his dreams. He
held title to every foot of land his eyes surveyed. Surely, on this second anniversary
of the organization of Zion Restoration Host he might be forgiven a smile of quiet
triumph at what he had accomplished in the twelve short years since, an itinerant
and all but penniless evangelist, he had built his Little Wooden Hut at the gates of
the Worlds Fair.
The overseers passed gravely into the Tabernacle.
With one last look upon the city, he turned and followed them. When at last he
stepped upon the high platform there was a hush. He stood, robed in splendor,
prophetic, apostolic, majestic. All eyes were upon him, all ears awaited his
utterance. He knew his people. They had never failed him. Step by step he had led
them from acceptance of him as a simple, earnest preacher of the plain old-time
religion, until today they looked upon him as one who came in fulfillment of a
divine plan foretold by prophets, from Moses to Malachi, and even by Christ
Himself. Which of his dreams for future triumphs could be impossible with such a
people behind him?
"His queer, rasping voice filled the Tabernacle, opening Zions now elaborate and
impressive ritual. This consummated, he began his sermon.
It was magnificent.
His sermon ended, the First Apostle retired. A table for the sacrament of the
Lords Supper was prepared.

169

JOHN ALEXANDER DOWIE

A LIFE STORY OF TRIALS, TRAGEDIES AND TRIUMPHS

It was now late afternoon. In solemn stillness the worshipers waited, while dusk
stole softly over them. Silently the First Apostle appeared in his white robes of
expiation. His voice rose in the old familiar prayer, carrying his people back, in
memory, to earlier, simpler days, days of miracles of healing, of selfless zeal, of
bitter persecution. The same leader, the same voice, the same prayer! Irresistibly
the same emotions rose, like a full tide, in their breasts. Hushed to a breath, yet
because of their number a mystic volume of melody, hundreds of voices sang the
old, old communion hymn:
Tis midnight; and on Olives brow,
The star is dimmed that lately shone.
Tis midnight; in the garden, now,
The suffering Savior prays alone.
Slowly light drained away until thousands sat bowed in shadow. The preacher,
seated as always at this sacrament, read from the Scriptures, blessed bread and
wine, sent his robed deacons among them, led his choir in softly intoned hymns. It
was Zions holy hour. Dr. Dowie and his people were one again, around that sacred
table.
The sacrament was all but finished. Only a few more words remained to be
spoken.
Again the people waited.
Suddenly their leader shook his right hand as if some foul thing clung to it. He
beat it upon the arm of his chair. Those near him saw him sway.
He turned, ghastly pale, to an attending deacon, who hurried to his side. Dowie
was half led, half borne away.
Never again was he to lift his voice in Shiloh Tabernacle.
John Alexander Dowie had suffered a stroke. Friends helped him to his room at
the rear of the platform and he was placed in a reclining chair. For a number of
moments he seemed to sleep. Then consciousness returned. But upon awakening
his side was paralyzed. Prayer was offered and hope for a complete restoration was
expressed by officers to the waiting congregation a hope that was never realized,
although for a time there was sufficient improvement that he could get about
awkwardly and use his hands to some extent. But he was never again to be the
same.

170

JOHN ALEXANDER DOWIE

A LIFE STORY OF TRIALS, TRAGEDIES AND TRIUMPHS

Despite the stroke and against protestations of his advisers, Dr. Dowie determined
to take the trip to Mexico as bad been planned. On the following Thursday, he,
with his wife and son and a party of about ten, set out on the journey to Mexico.
For two months he remained in that country, sending back optimistic letters of the
improvement of his physical condition and speaking in glowing terms of the
splendid prospects of the Paradise Plantation project.
Returning about Thanksgiving, he was welcomed at the station by the Zion City
Band, and most of the population of the city. Dr. Dowie emerged from the train,
waved his hand, and was rushed into his carriage. But those who saw that haggard
countenance realized that they were looking at the face of a very sick man.
On Thanksgiving Day, Dr. Dowie attempted to address the people in Shiloh
Tabernacle, but his strength permitted him to speak but a few moments. The sands
of life for John Alexander Dowie were fast running out. By the middle of
December, he was so weak and sick that he could not lie down, could scarcely
speak, and breathed with difficulty.
In hopes that a change of climate would help him, arrangements were made for
him to go to Jamaica. He arrived there about the first of the year, and remained for
a period of over a month, during which time he seemed to grow stronger and
better. Meantime in Zion, during the absence of the Overseer, decisive events were
taking shape.

171

CHAPTER XXXII

WINTER OF RECKONING

IN Zion City the hour of crisis was at hand. News arrived of improvement in the
First Apostles physical condition, but this information did not inspire enthusiasm
among the resident overseers, whom Dr. Dowie had appointed during his absence
to take charge of Zions affairs. The reports only meant that he would soon be in
Mexico, pursuing plans for the purchase of vast tracts of plantation land. When
some weeks later in February, Dr. Dowie arrived in Mexico, a series of letters and
telegrams began to reach Zion, each one containing glowing accounts of the
possibilities of the Paradise Plantation Project. Those who bore the responsibilities
in Zion could hardly share this optimism. They had barely gotten through the
winter without going under, and now creditors were crowding them for payment
on bills long overdue. Because of the lack of raw materials, several factories had
already shut down, and many people had been thrown out of work. Even the
LEAVES OF HEALING was forced to suspend publication because of the lack of
funds to purchase paper.
The men who had been left in charge of Zion were desperate. Earnestly they had
written Dr. Dowie, pleading with him to recognize the grave nature of the crisis
that faced them, but their appeal had little success. Though all evidence showed
that the city was at the brink of financial disaster, he would not acknowledge it.
Sadly, the officers of Zion were at last forced to the conclusion that the
deteriorating physical condition of their overseer had incapacitated him for his
responsibilities. The practical necessities imposed by the crisis had to be faced. As
they saw it, the only hope of a solution lay in Dr. Dowies being relieved as soon as
possible from further responsibility. It was a sad decision, for these men had been
for years numbered among his most devoted friends.
For the information of our readers permit us to retrospect for the moment and
consider the causes that had brought about this unfortunate situation. Actually,
the seeds of trouble were sown at the very beginning of the citys history. During
the period just before the opening of the subdivisions in 1901, and for a while after,
several millions of dollars in all were deposited in Zions Bank in savings accounts
or as investments in Zions stocks. The large sum of money thus made available
resulted in, for a time, a spurious prosperity. Money deposited in the bank was
used to build up the city and to pay the high rate of interest on investments. But
this reservoir of funds was gradually depleted. Besides the above mentioned use of
the money, Dr. Dowie spent large sums in ventures such as the New York

Visitation and his trip around the world. As a result of these policies, Zion, as early
as 1903, began to get into serious financial difficulties. In fact, in December of that
year a receivership had been appointed. However the receivers, after an
examination of the situation, decided that with proper caution, the difficulties that
had arisen could be worked out. Unfortunately, no steps were taken by Dr. Dowie
to correct and remedy the problems which even at that time were critical. And so
things steadily went from bad to worse.
The time came when bills could not be paid promptly, and credit was refused by
outside firms. The various industries of the city had been required to place their
receipts in the banks general fund, and when that was exhausted, they had no
means to buy their raw materials nor to pay their employees. In an attempt to
remedy this situation, John Alexander Dowie had foolishly instituted a most
unsound practice of issuing coupons to the employees in lieu of legal tender. The
coupons dropped rapidly in value. Unscrupulous persons forged and counterfeited
them, and at length even the department stores of the city had to refuse to accept
them.
Arthur Newcomb, writing in the LEAVES OF HEALING, April 7, 1906, reviews
these circumstances:
The policy of keeping all funds in a common treasury, and of having this treasury
at the absolute command of John Alexander Dowie had another destructive result.
Money that came in from the sale of products of various industries was used up,
instead of being turned over to those industries to pay their employees and
purchase merchandise, supplies, and raw material to keep the institution going. It
was inevitable, therefore, that the various enterprises should soon find themselves
without working capital, in debt to their employees, and unable to proceed with
their business and manufacture.
The conditions were aggravated, of course, by the fact that hundreds of breadwinners were also idle, and the families of many of them dependent upon charity.
Add to this fact that for two years the many who had invested their savings in
Zions institutions and industries were paid only a small part of their interest and
dividends. Some of these people were old, some were infirm, some were widows
with families to support, some were merchants and manufacturers who had
invested their working capital in Zion, expecting to use the interest and dividends
to carry on their business.
But while this sad state of affairs was developing, John Alexander Dowie was
touring the world, traveling in the most expensive way, taking the highest-priced
suites at the finest hotels, entertaining lavishly at various places, and purchasing
considerable costly clothing and other merchandise.

While Zion City was in this crippled financial condition, he launched the proposed
Zion Paradise Plantation enterprise, and spent many thousands of dollars of the
money invested for that purpose; some in trips to and through Mexico, some for
other purposes, including personal expenses.
As has been already mentioned, when Dr. Dowie left for Jamaica, he had
appointed certain men to be in charge of the affairs of the city, a triumvirate
which included Dr. John G. Speicher, Deacon V. V. Barnes, and Deacon Alexander
Granger. These men were given full power to act in all matters of business. With
Dr. Dowie away, this new management went immediately to work rehabilitating
the financial, commercial, and industrial affairs of Zion. Then without warning,
there came a telegram suspending Dr. Speicher. Apparently fearing that the other
overseers were not working along lines that he desired, Dr. Dowie cabled Wilbur
Glenn Voliva, Overseer of the Zion work in Australia, giving him power of attorney,
and requesting him to leave Australia, to come at once to Zion.
Wilbur Glenn Voliva read the cablegram and pondered thoughtfully his course of
action. He was a dark-haired man, with heavy eyebrows and features not unlike
those of Napoleon. He had shown considerable ability in his ministry in Australia,
having built up a strong work there during four years of residence. After carefully
considering the cablegram, he made his decision, and secured reservations on the
next steamship for America. He arrived in Zion, February 12, 1906, after traveling
twenty-two days on water and six days on land.
For several weeks Overseer Voliva studied the conditions that existed in the city.
Because of the distance of Australia from America, he had not been fully aware of
the extent of the crisis that had developed. As his investigation probed deeper into
the circumstances and the causes of the difficulties, he became increasingly
disturbed by the seriousness of the situation. It was plain that financial disaster
was imminent. Worst of all was the news that Dr. Dowie, apparently all unaware of
what was about to take place at home, was in Mexico, all set to purchase land for
his Paradise Plantation enterprise, and would soon be making demands for money.
Wilbur Glenn Voliva agreed with the other overseers that the time to act had come,
if it ever had.
At a cabinet meeting in late March, 1906, the new overseer with members of the
cabinet, discussed for many hours the impending crisis. All were agreed that
something must be done and done at once. At length a drastic course of action was
proposed and decided upon. The entire estate was to be sold to Deacon Granger for
the nominal sum of one dollar. Since power of attorney had been given to Wilbur
Glenn Voliva, it was believed that he had the legal right to execute this transaction
although no one doubted that its legality would be challenged by Dr. Dowie, in the
courts. At any rate it would give the situation leadership, which John Alexander
Dowie because of his physical incapacitation seemed unable to give. For if the

174

JOHN ALEXANDER DOWIE

estate went into receivership without any evidence that there was available a
responsible leadership, the chances were that the property would be sold to satisfy
the creditors, and in that case the people would lose everything including their
homes.
Under the arrangements of the transfer, Deacon Granger executed a deed of trust,
declaring that he held all this property in trust for the creditors of John Alexander
Dowie, including all investors and members of the church.
April 1,1906, was the peoples day of decision. Some thirty-five hundred people
gathered in Shiloh Tabernacle. Overseer Voliva took the floor and presented the
story as he saw it. The other members of the cabinet spoke briefly also. It was not
difficult to convince the people that a drastic change was needed. The long winter
of privation, during which people had been unable to secure any return on their
investments or have access to money that they had on deposit in savings accounts,
the worthless coupons which they had received in payment for their labor, and
many other such circumstances, had already proved to them that something was
fundamentally wrong with the administration. It was a relief to the people that
something was being done about it. When a standing vote was called for, some
ninety-five percent of the people elected to go along with Wilbur Glenn Voliva.
With the voice of the people behind him, the new leader now sent a telegram to
John Alexander Dowie, suspending him from his position of General Overseer.
John Alexander Dowie was utterly stunned by the turn of events. Threatening legal
action, he started north immediately, but when he arrived in Zion on an afternoon,
in the midst of a thunder shower, there was only a little handful of followers there
to meet him at the station. He retired immediately to Shiloh House. (Upon the
advice of Judge V. V. Barnes, the cabinet granted permission to him to occupy
Shiloh House, though it, too, was also included in the transfer.)
Weeks later in the courtroom of Judge Kenesaw Landis, John Alexander Dowie
met his antagonist, Wilbur Glenn Voiva. There were two weeks of hearings, and
the daily sessions were marked by sharp clashes between the counsel retained by
the opposing parties. Judge Landis, a noted jurist, who presided, handled the case
with as great a fairness as possible to both sides. In the end a receivership was
appointed which was to be responsible for all the money and property involved.
Every member of the Zion Restoration Host was ordered to publicly renounce his
oath of allegiance to Dr. Dowie. The court then ordered that an election by secret
ballot be held to determine who should be the General Overseer. John Alexander
Dowie, realizing the sentiment against him, refused to run. The election which was
held a short time later gave an overwhelming majority of Zions votes to Wilbur
Glenn Voliva. Zions creditors decided to give the city another opportunity to pay
her debts, realizing that with Zion a going concern, there was greater possibility of
getting their money than if the whole enterprise were allowed to dissolve.

CHAPTER XXXIII

THE LAST DAYS OF JOHN ALEXANDER DOWIE

THE last days of John Alexander Dowie had come, but for a while he did not know
it. During the period of the court proceedings, he wrote a defense setting forth his
side of the case. His words show the same precise command of language that he
always possessed. The article was capably written, and is an interesting document,
being his last published statement so far as we are aware, and it gives us an insight
into the state of his feelings in the days when he realized that the city he founded
was slipping away from him.
In his statement there is an acknowledgement that he had made mistakes, though
it is doubtful that he had much realization of the magnitude of those mistakes, or
of the suffering that had resulted because of them. That he entertained the strong
hope that he would be healed and that Zion would be restored to him is revealed in
the following words:
After fifty-nine years of toil, so arduous that the work of mans allotted time has
been pressed into them, I had thought that perhaps my work on earth was finished
and I would be allowed to enter heaven and be with my Redeemer, my blessed
Lord.
I would rather pass away and go to heaven than anything else. I am tired; I am
weary; I have worked hard; I have done enough work, I think to earn some rest;
but if my Lord says that I am to work a little longer, I am willing to give that last
ounce of my strength for my people and the protection of Zion. I love you. I have
never consciously wronged you. I have lived for God and my people. And I will
continue to live for you and give you the last bit of life that I possess. I will not say
that I have not made mistakes; God forbid. But I will say that all my life I have
lived for God and for my people. And, by the grace of God, I am going to live for
you still!
That he did not understand nor realize the causes for the crisis in Zion is reflected
in his next words. He thought that the troubles which had come were mostly
caused by perfidy of his associates, not realizing he was to blame for his neglect
and refusal to face the problems that had daily mounted higher until stark tragedy
faced the city. Concerning this he wrote:

176

JOHN ALEXANDER DOWIE

A LIFE STORY OF TRIALS, TRAGEDIES AND TRIUMPHS

The world has stood aghast at the strange conduct of my faithless officers, who
have betrayed my confidence and sought my ruin at a time when I needed their
loyal support. In return for my kindness to them, calling them from obscurity to
positions of trust, they have led my people in revolt and imperiled the very
foundations of Zion, while I was absent and weak in body through excessive toil.
As to the impending proposal of the court to have a democratic election in Zion, he
disclosed his displeasure:
I. refer to the proposition to substitute a democratic rule in Zion for the
established theocratic rule, and the attack upon the Restoration Host Vow.
It is not strange that the distinguished jurist (Judge Landis) should see all things
with democratic eyes and fail to discern the spiritual order of things in a spiritual
kingdom. I have subscribed allegiance to the American constitution and no man
has been more loyal and regardful of law than I. We have been taught in Zion that
the republican form of government is the best of all governments and the one that
leads most directly to the rule of God.; meanwhile we were working out the
model in Zion, crude and imperfect though it may have been from the beginning.
To undertake to force democratic methods upon us within our own precincts,
where we have the inalienable right to worship God according to the dictates of our
conscience, is striking a blow at the very heart and core of the Christian Catholic
Apostolic Church in Zion.
In this document written in August, 1906, however, John Alexander Dowie betrays
the fact that he was aware of the strong possibility that his days as a leader of Zion
had drawn to a close, for he wrote:
I do not force for a moment my views upon any human being; I submit them
strongly; urge them strongly because I believe they are true and ought to be
received and obeyed; but I recognize the rights of others and I also recognize the
fact that it may take time to see Gods way. Therefore, let no one think I am
arbitrarily demanding allegiance to my thoughts because they are my thoughts. I
believe they are Gods thoughts and ways; and I have patience to wait as well as to
work. There are a thousand Millennium years of work after I return in the blessed
rapture, and I can wait as well as work.
It was a sad blow to Dr. Dowie when by decision of the court an election was
authorized to determine who should be overseer of Zion. He retired to Shiloh
House a broken man, but still believing that by some miracle Zion would be
restored to him. This hope, however, was never to be fulfilled.
A Chicago newspaper of the time carried an interesting comment on the tragic
circumstances which had befallen the city:

177

JOHN ALEXANDER DOWIE

A LIFE STORY OF TRIALS, TRAGEDIES AND TRIUMPHS

The curtain is about to fall. The star has left the stage; the prompter has closed his
book; the scene-shifters are shuffling in the wings; and the stage manager has his
finger on the bell. Only a few more phrases that the audience could easily supply
and the words ring down will be given and we shall have looked for the last time
upon the tragedy of Zion City.
It is a city hopelessly bankrupt, facing an indebtedness of six million dollarsa
city built upon sand. The dream of Zion as conceived by Dowie is gone forever. The
vision has faded. A receiver from the courts held the keys to the administration
building, the factories, the hospice, the bank. The venture into commercial
enterprises, a field in which Dowie was an amateur, overthrew the church. Dowie,
sick, suffering from hallucinations, still sat in the Shiloh House. The fire of
ambition still burned in his eyes, and a note of defiance still sounded in his voice.
But his eyes were deeply sunken, and his voice quavered in disappointment.
The Author Sees John Alexander Dowie
Once in his life, the writer saw John Alexander Dowie, although he does not
remember the event. When he was about three months old, his parents took him
with them when they made a visit to Shiloh House to hear Dr. Dowie, as he spoke
to a small audience on a Sunday afternoon. They remember him that day as a very
sick man, sitting in a wheel chair with sunken eyes and pale drawn face. He still
expressed his belief that things would finally work out and he would again be back
in Shiloh Tabernacle.
But John Alexander Dowie grew steadily weaker in body, and finally was unable to
speak in public even from his wheel chair. It seemed that every form of disease had
fastened itself upon his body, and his life strength was slowly ebbing away. The
time at last came when even he had to acknowledge that the end could not be far
off.
Few came to see him in those days. The great disappointment that had come to the
people, their shattered hopes, the loss of investments reducing some to poverty,
had created a reaction that was not healed during the brief period while Dr. Dowie
lingered in his illness. Still a few were loyal to him. They had not forgotten the
prayers of the man through whom to them deliverance of soul and body had come.
They did not forget him now.
The writer in one of his visits to Zion had the good fortune to make acquaintance
with an old gentleman some eighty-six years of age, who attended Dr. Dowie
during the last months of his life. At our request, this gentleman, a Mr. Samuel
Shadd, recalled a number of interesting incidents of those days. He explained that
he had always wanted to get personally acquainted with Dr. Dowie, whom he loved
and admired. But during the years of the General Overseers busy life there was

178

JOHN ALEXANDER DOWIE

A LIFE STORY OF TRIALS, TRAGEDIES AND TRIUMPHS

little chance for the rank and the file to have much personal contact with him. Now
when John Alexander Dowie had been deserted by the multitude, here was his
opportunity. He gladly gave of his time and substance ministering to the man of
God who in the closing chapter of his life had come upon evil days.
One of the questions that we asked was whether Dr. Dowie, during those last
months, made any reference to his Elijah Declaration, but the reply was that as far
as could be remembered, Dr. Dowie never mentioned nor alluded to it. In this
connection it is interesting to note that in the article which he wrote in the summer
of 1906, defending this position, he signed his full name and left off the title,
FIRST APOSTLE.
Mr. Shadd emphasized that in those last days, Dr. Dowie seemed unusually
cheerful considering the circumstances, and was never impatient nor cross with
those who waited on him. Seeming to fall back into the simplicity of his early years
when he was dependent on God for his daily bread, the virtues of those years
appeared to return to him. Released from a yoke which he himself had assumed, it
seemed that a distinct change in his disposition was wrought and a new patience
and kindliness for his fellowmen appeared. Once as he looked through the window
of his room in Shiloh House and saw a crowd of people passing, talking and
laughing, all unmindful of their old leader who lay a few yards from them on a bed
he was never to leave alive, he was heard to exclaim, O, my people, I love you, I
love you, though sometimes you are naughty children.
As the days slipped by, and he knew that his time of going was at hand, he became
very gentle, and he expressed his resignation to all that had come upon him and no
longer struggled against it.
True it was that he did not seem to understand his own part in the tragedy. He just
seemed to know that something terrible had gone wrong, and all he could do was
to resign himself to the mercies of God. A reconciliation with his wife was never
effected, however. Perhaps her coming to him now would have revived a thousand
painful memories of the past which he wished to forget.
There were sad moments, too. As the end drew nearer, he sent word to his son,
Gladstone, that after he was gone, for him to remember always to serve and live for
God. The young man, no doubt confused by the events that had taken place, had
sent back a careless reply inferring that he wasnt interested in religion. Upon
hearing this, the poor man fell back upon his pillow and burst into tears, grieving
for his son in a manner that reminded one of David as he sorrowed for his sort,
Absalom. In reading Gladstones account of his fathers life, however, it is evident
that he had not renounced his faith in God. He later became an Episcopal minister,
and preached in that denomination for many years. According to his account he
believed that his father was sincere, but that he possessed a strange ability to be

179

JOHN ALEXANDER DOWIE

A LIFE STORY OF TRIALS, TRAGEDIES AND TRIUMPHS

deceived. Years later Gladstone lost an arm as a result of an accident. He died in

the year 1945, and now lies buried in the family plot in Lake Mound Cemetery in
Zion.
The time came when John Alexander Dowie no longer had strength to move
himself. Once when those who took care of him tried to move him, they lost their
grip and his body fell with a hard thud on the floor. With deep concern, those who
attended him apologized for their carelessness, and although Dr. Dowie must have
suffered severe pain from such a sharp drop, being unable to protect himself, he
summoned a smile and told them that they must not feel badly. He kept reassuring
them that he was quite all right.
Even during the closing days of Dr. Dowies life, he had definite answers to prayer.
Though he couldnt get prayers answered for himself, God answered many that he
prayed for others. There were definite healings. Once when Dr. Dowie was in need
financially, Mr. Shadd gave him fifty dollars in cash which he sorely needed to
meet a payment on his own house. John Alexander Dowie thanked him and prayed
a short prayer that God would supply his needs. The next week to his intense
surprise, Mr. Shadd received a communication from his brother in which he
promised to pay off the entire mortgage, a promise which was fulfilled.
During the last days of Dr. Dowies life, a friend by the name of Edna Sheldrake,
who had been a reporter for a Chicago newspaper years before, visited the home
often. She tells of a significant incident:
In those last days, when disease had clouded his mind and battled for supremacy,
the writer was associated with him almost daily.
As the life forces visibly ebbed, the immortal spirit looked forth from the dim,
sunken eyesclear, undaunted, triumphant, compelling.
On one of these days he sent for me, and after some instruction concerning
certain matters, his features relaxed and his eyes, closed, betokened sleep.
Suddenly opening them, he fixed his gaze upon me, and earnestly said: Write
write, tell it.
I shook my head negatively, but again he insistedcommanded:
Write. You will find some lettersI give them to youthey will tell the story. A
few weeks later he died.
Edna Sheldrake then relates that after a strange series of coincidences some
months later, she happened to ascend to an attic and yielding to a strange whim,
she looked over a pile of debris fit only for the ash heap. Her attention was

180

JOHN ALEXANDER DOWIE

A LIFE STORY OF TRIALS, TRAGEDIES AND TRIUMPHS

caught by some old letters, and looking more closely, she recognized the
handwriting to be that of John Alexander Dowie. These were the letters that Dr.
Dowie had referred to, and which she remembered, he had said she would find,
and which it was his desire should tell the story.
Edna Sheldrake gathered the letters together, and later had a large number of
them published in a volume. This published collection of letters has been a
valuable source of material for this present work. Unfortunately the last volume
was never published so far as we have been able to ascertain.
It was March 9, 1907, when the tired spirit of John Alexander Dowie slipped out of
its tumbling tenement of clay, and returned to the God Who gave it. It was the firm
belief of all who attended him during the last moments that the peace of God
rested upon his soul. The events of those last moments are told by Judge V. V.
Barnes who was with him at the end and who gave a most beautiful memorial
tribute of the man whose face they were to see no more.

CHAPTER XXXIV

MEMORIAL MESSAGE BY JUDGE V. V. BARNES

THE tallest cedar in Lebanon has fallen, and we, as I friends and members of Zion
have been called upon to mourn. The end came indeed suddenly, yet the approach
of the dread messenger was most insidious, and more subtle than the people of
Zion thought.
My friends, we have come together today with one accord to consider the life and
character of the man whose ashes we are to lay away forever. Let us ask what was
the character of John Alexander Dowie, and what has he accomplished for
mankind.
As we examine the work of this great man we find that his was a character of many
sides. He possessed manifold genius as one of the great controllers and rulers
among men, and he performed three great, distinct, and specific works. He
founded a city; he established a new industry in a nation, and he has unveiled to
the world a great and glorious truth that has been hidden for generations, and even
centuries. He has brought this truth forth to the consideration of the Christian
world in a light in which it never had been viewed before, since the foundation of
the Christian era.
Let me say to you, my friends, what some of you may not fully realize, that in this
city of Zion, we see one of the most wondrous exemplifications of the right
principles of human government that the world has witnessed since the beginning
of the Christian era. In this city of many thousand people, there is not now a saloon
for the sale of intoxicating liquors. There never has been any nicotine or tobacco in
any form placed on sale. Neither has there been a brothel, a gambling institution, a
guilded palace, nor the home of her whose ways decline to Hell. It is wonderful
how all these various nationalities have come together with this common purpose
and end.
The influence and genius of this man has concurred to set into practical operation
those principles of the Sermon on the Mount, which when properly applied, mean
nothing more nor less than the government of God among men. In this city of
Zion, John Alexander Dowie found it was necessary to establish schools for
parents who came from all parts of the earth to have some way of educating their
children. This was not an immediately paying institution from the standpoint of
the investment of money because the public schools have returned no immediate

182

JOHN ALEXANDER DOWIE

A LIFE STORY OF TRIALS, TRAGEDIES AND TRIUMPHS

profits in the way of cash. The investment was in boys and girls, and it takes years,
almost a generation to bring a return. A large amount of the expenditures of Zion
were for the establishment of schools.
In order that a community might exist it was necessary to provide large industries
to sustain the people; and on casting about, a number were established; the
principle one was the great lace industry which has now been in operation for
about five years. If there are any who imagine that a great industry can be
established easily in spite of the opposition of thousands of people; that such
things come about without a large expenditure of money; without a great deal of
time; without a vast exercise of dominating force; without an inspiring and
controlling genius, they make a very great error. For you will find that new
industries do not number many, even considering the length and breadth of the
entire land.
John Alexander Dowie was a man, who in many respects, was more fully
understood by many of the great leaders, statesmen, and other public men
belonging to the nation. He was a man familiarly acquainted with many of our
greatest politicians and statesmen, and with them he often discussed the principles
of government. Judge Gary, the distinguished jurist of Chicago who knew him well,
and who was for many years his warm, personal friend, said truly from the bench
when John Alexander Dowie was admitted to citizenship of this republic, No
greater and more honorable accession had been made to the citizenship of America
since the Declaration of Independence. This warm friendship Judge Gary
maintained until the day that he passed away.
But those things that I have mentioned, great as they are, have not been the
greatest of the works of John Alexander Dowie. He unveiled a new and great truth
for the consideration of the Christian world. He inspired men with an appreciation
of those great principles of the Gospel that in their application had been forgotten
for generations. He it was who stood as the exponent of the great principle of what
is called Divine healing. Were I to ask the question here today, at the
performance of these last sad rites, How many present believe in the principles
and teachings of John Alexander Dowie, and how many have really benefited; how
many have been restored and preserved in health; how many have been delivered
from death by exercise of the truths he taught, and by the laying on of hands?, I
have no doubt, whatever but I should get a thrilling response from hundreds and
even thousands of those that are here present assembled. (Here a great movement
in sympathy with these sentiments could be plainly felt throughout the assembled
thousands.)
Let me inquire as to what was the great fundamental and controlling principle in
the life of John Alexander Dowie, the greatest principle that actuates men
anywhere in civilization. I can express it in one word, and that word is the greatest

183

JOHN ALEXANDER DOWIE

A LIFE STORY OF TRIALS, TRAGEDIES AND TRIUMPHS

word of the English language. I say after closely observing John Alexander Dowie
through many years and in very intimate relations with him, that I believe that the
chief element of his character was love.
There is no more common mistake made among men than that John Alexander
Dowie dominated the people through tyranny; that he tyrannized over the people.
There were times when the assembled thousands of Zion would have gone singing
to the stake for John Alexander Dowie, because they loved him. And it was only
when the pale hand of the Destroyer came; when the clouds came down upon the
mountains; when misunderstandings arose; when he reached a condition in which
he was not really himself, that he lost any of the love and the affection and the
following of the people of Zion.
(Judge Barnes remarks concerning Dr. Dowies indefatigable and excessive toils
are omitted, having been recorded in an earlier chapter.)
John Alexander Dowies bow abode in strength, and the quiver was well filled with
arrows; but he used that bow too often; he drew the string too hard. The time came
when he fixed the arrow and drew the string to its fullest capacity and the bow
broke. There came a time when it could be truly said of him, He saved others;
himself he cannot save. We cannot of ourselves judge of these things, whether the
violation be always warranted or not; but where there is a violation there must,
necessarily, be the reckoning.
The great work of John Alexander Dowie was in preaching the Gospel. He
recognized good Christian men and women in every denomination; but he simply
taught to the world the apostasy of the church; and in this, again, he was greatly
misunderstood, for it was with a kind and loving heart that he opposed the
apostasy of the churches, and he denominated it, and as I think truly.
He exercised this great influence as an orator, as well as a man of affairs. You have
heard him many times, and so have I, deny possessing any powers of oratory. It
was a common remark of his that he was no orator, that he was only a business
man in the pulpit. Yet he was an orator of the highest order. I have known services
to begin at half past two in the afternoon and last even until midnight. It tests the
power of an orator and a speaker to create interest when all ages, from boys and
girls up to the aged and gray-haired men and women, are prevailed upon to sit and
listen with continued and increasing interest for three and four hours at a sitting,
as I have often seen to be the case. Though he made no claims along this line for
himself, he possessed a power of delivery which he exercised to bring multitudes of
people to Christ in a way that wrought conviction on the human heart; but the time
came when he was stricken and no longer able to do his work.

184

The Last Words of John Alexander Dowie

Last Friday night, the last night that John Alexander Dowie spent on earth, he was
again in spirit upon this platform talking to the assembled multitudes of his
people. He preached during that night and thought he was preaching the principles
of the Gospel to the assembled thousands. As he taught the same old truths,
recognized such by his faithful attendants who stood about him, he lapsed again
into slumber, awaking from time to time and continuing the dispensation of the
old gospel message. At last he sang, Joy to the world, the Lord has come, and he
sang it strong and clear. Then again he sang as it approached morning, Joy
cometh in the morning. The last song that he ever sang as the morning light began
to appear was, I am a soldier of the Cross. Then they listened for his last
sentence, and he said, The millennium has come; I will be back for a thousand
years.
These were the last words that he spoke; the last sentence he uttered. We gathered
about him as he lay resting peacefully upon his pillow upon his right side; as we
watched him very closely, the breath came gently and even more gently and the
time came, as he passed over, that we could not distinguish the demarcation
between the peaceful slumbers of this world and the last long sleep of eternity. As
we watched we saw a slight tremor of the eyelids, the last sign of life, which seemed
like the faint ripple created upon the surface of the placid stream by a passing
morning zephyr and as we looked and watched for the return, it came not again,
and all was still. So passed out of this life the remarkable man whom we have
known going in and out for many days and year in the past; the man we have loved
and revered; the man who has made his mark upon his day and upon his
generation.
During all these years of toil for a quarter of a century, and until the clouds came
and settled upon the mountains, there labored and toiled with him his faithful wife
and companion. Then came times of darkness and misunderstanding then came
the work of the Evil One. John Alexander Dowie had performed great labors, and a
great service of toil, and he suffered many griefs and sorrows; and we would say to
his companion, who wrought with him so many years, with love unchanged and
still abiding, There is a balm of healing of every woe.
But the time has come for us to lay away all that is mortal of our former beloved
friend and leader. It was his last request that he be permitted to rest awhile under
the green grass and beneath the trees of Lake Mound Cemetery, by the side of his
beloved daughter, Esther, who passed away nearly five years ago, and was interred
here.
When Esther suddenly left us, the light of his life for a long time seemed to be
gone, for he loved her as very few love a child; and she was a girl possessed with

185

JOHN ALEXANDER DOWIE

A LIFE STORY OF TRIALS, TRAGEDIES AND TRIUMPHS

gifts accorded to very few. When she passed away and the light of her life went out
there was taken with it a multitude of the brightest hopes of John Alexander
Dowie. He was pierced through with a sorrow from the poignancy of which he
never fully recovered; and it is no wonder that in his last moments his heart fondly
turned to her memory and he desired to slumber under the green trees in Lake
Mound by the side of his beloved daughter, Esther.
My friends, there have been many things very greatly misunderstood in the life and
character of John Alexander Dowie. There have been many misunderstandings
among our own people; and yet as a people, all of us love Zion. I say to you now,
and I beseech you all as members of Zion, as friends and Christian brothers, as we
stand here now when the mists and the clouds have begun to show a rift, let us
reach our hands across the bier. It is time for the passing away of
misunderstandings.
I would not stultify myself, nor bring a reflection upon the memory of John
Alexander Dowie, by claiming that he was perfect. The character of very many
great men of affairs and intelligence is writ large, and their faults are written large
with them. But though there was a pride, though there was a love of power, though
there were other faults which he never denied, it is my solemn conviction, and has
been since the time of the beginning of these troubles, that there was nothing that
could be assigned to John Alexander Dowie that marked him in any way with any
degree of criminality. If you will only watch and wait with patience; if you will let
the past remain until you see it more clearly; if you will watch the mountains and
see the mists and the clouds and the smoke depart, you will see the clear forms
come to view that will remain, and will remain for generations to come.
When John Alexander Dowie left us he had freely forgiven all and cherished no
resentment against any man or woman living. He was a remarkable man. He was a
master of invective. He had extraordinary powers as a speaker; and as an
antagonist he had the faculty, he had the unerring instinct of detecting the
weakness in the armor of his antagonist, and he thrust into it with all the vigor that
he could command. Yet he was generous to a foe and ready at all times to forgive
any who sought his forgiveness, whether they asked forgiveness or not.
Now my beloved friends, I have talked to you as I would my own brothers and
sisters. We are members here together of the same family, and I have often
remarked, and I believe it to be the truth, that the ties binding the members of
Zion together are even much stronger than those that ordinarily pertain in the
common relations of the life of a family. We find a joy in greeting one another; we
find a joy in carrying on this work together. Let us take one another by the hand
today, and look into each others faces, realizing what is before us, and all that has
been, let us forgive and forget. Let us say in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, and
through the influence and power of His Holy Spirit, let us say to one another and

to the illustrious man who has departed, whose face we shall see no more till the
Resurrection morn Peace to thee! and Peace to thee be multiplied! Arise, let us
go hence.

CHAPTER XXXV

A HALF-CENTURY PASSES

ONE afternoon while standing before the grave in Lake Mound Cemetery, where
lies all that is mortal of John Alexander Dowie, the writer asked himself the
question whether, as some thought, that because of his mistakes, this mans life
and works were in vain. As we weighed the circumstances, in meditation before the
silent grave, we were forced to the conclusion that such an appraisal was far from
the truth. No one would deny that had Dr. Dowie avoided those tragic errors of
judgment, the sunset of his life would have been infinitely more happy, and his
later ministry far more fruitful. But we have no doubt that the Lord took into
consideration the great odds that this man labored against, and the years when he
was buffeted by an unfriendly world, as he stood almost alone for a great truth that
now, due in no little part to his labors, millions believe. Though, as David of old, he
was chastened, God did not forsake him. In his final days, his soul had peace, and
he expressed his trust in the God of mercy of Whom it is written, He knoweth our
frame; He remembered that we are dust. (Psalm 103:14)
Our narrative is not a history of Zion City, nor of John Alexander Dowies
successor, Wilbur Glenn Voliva, except as events associated with them had direct
relation to the life and ministry of Dowie. Our words therefore shall now be brief.
It is true that Overseer Voliva was unable to secure the confidence of all the people
of Zion as had the citys founder. It is doubtful that any man could have. A great
controversy for years raged over the ethics and methods of Mr. Voliva. As to the
initial act of taking over Zion from the failing hands of John Alexander Dowie, we
have only this to say. Judge V. V. Barnes, a man of the finest Christian character, a
friend of Dr. Dowie if ever there was one, and who preached the beautiful
memorial message, concurred in that decision. Those on the scene who saw the
rapid dissolution of the financial situation, the apparent incapacitation of Dr.
Dowie, the pitiful hardships endured by the people who were unable to get access
to the funds that they, in good faith and high hopes, had deposited in the Zion
Bank, and who saw disaster and receivership steadily approaching, could hardly be
blamed for putting forth some effort to save the situation. However, some believe
that a carnal method was used to attain an end which, had faith and dependency
on God been exercised, could have been achieved without the bitterness and
divisions which resulted. Only the Judgment Day will fully decide this question.
Assuming that the best decision was made, it is a question in the minds of some
whether Wilbur Glenn Voliva followed the wisest course in other matters. He was

188

JOHN ALEXANDER DOWIE

A LIFE STORY OF TRIALS, TRAGEDIES AND TRIUMPHS

thirty-six years of age at the time, and at the zenith of physical vigor, although not
what we would say the age of a mans maturest judgment. It is evident that he
brought business methods into Zion that were instrumental in saving the city. He
was definitely an organizer, and a shrewd business man. Bold and fearless, when
he arrived at a decision, he never wavered nor manifested uncertainty. After the
initial splits that occurred during the time of Dr. Dowies illness and passing,
Overseer Voliva was able to hold the loyalty of most of the people, and this for a
period of 35 years, which was, in fact, until the day of his death. All in all, it seems
improbable that there was available a more capable man to have taken over Zion
than he.
There are those who believe that Wilbur Glenn Voliva could have been more
gracious during the early years of his administration. His sermons show him to be
a stern, unyielding disciplinarian, although those who knew him best declare that
there was a kindly side to his nature. But with the chaos and confusion to meet on
every side, it perhaps required a man with steel to meet steel. It is claimed by
more than a few that he was unduly severe on those who lived in the city who did
not line up with him. If true, yet it must be said that he was not so inflexible that he
could not change his mind, if it could be proved that he were wrong - something
that Dr. Dowie in his last years found exceedingly difficult to do.
It would be regarded as an omission that would demand explanation if, when
discussing Wilbur Glenn Voliva, nothing were said of his widely publicized views
regarding the geography of the world, which gave his name world-wide publicity,
and found for his teachings, in this respect, a place in the Sunday magazine
supplements from time to time. Mr. Voliva taught and emphasized the doctrine of
the flat earth, and established that teaching in the schools of Zion. He was able to
convince a number of his followers of the correctness of his views. At length,
however, even those who agreed with him on the subject came to the conclusion
that the matter was being pressed and emphasized out of proportion to its
significance.
Overseer Volivas contention was that the North Pole was at the center of the flat
earth and the so-cal1ed South Pole was a hypothetical area hemmed in with
high impassable mountains that could never be traversed. In more recent years,
the enemies of Voliva have pointed out that great airliners fly in every direction,
over the Poles, and around them, and pilots find no high impassable mountains.
They also call attention to the photographs being taken at immense heights from
rockets, which now show the expanse of a continent, and clearly reveal the
curvature of the earth. Which ever way the reader views these idiosyncrasies, it
should not be taken as a full index to the real character of Overseer Voliva.
Wilbur Glenn Voliva did not accept the broad universal scope of Dr. Dowies
original plan for the Christian Catholic Church, which he set forth at the time of

189

JOHN ALEXANDER DOWIE

A LIFE STORY OF TRIALS, TRAGEDIES AND TRIUMPHS

the founding of the church, as fundamental to its future. Rather he chose to follow
the later views of Dr. Dowie, which reduced the perspective of the Divine plan
down to the measure of Zions program. With Overseer Voliva, it appears that
when the desperate financial situation was alleviated somewhat, and he had time
to study Dr. Dowies plan of a World Zion, there was inspired an ambition to revive
that dream, and perhaps succeed, where John Alexander Dowie had failed. At
length, however, when the reverses of the Thirties came, it became evident that
these hopes would not be realized.
Wilbur Glenn Voliva was to experience troubled times in those later years. During
the heart of the Depression, taxes could not be paid on the vast holdings of the
church, and Zion was again forced into receivership. Ultimately a large portion of
the idle land was released and the finances of the church were reorganized. In
1937, there came another heartbreaking blow to the Overseer. The great Shiloh
Tabernacle and the 50,000-watt radio station, were set on fire by an incendiarist
and destroyed, a loss which in some respects was irreparable. Much equipment
and valuable records were lost in flames. The Overseer lived to see another
beautiful structure built and dedicated, but the radio station was lost for good.
Wilbur Glenn Voliva adhered to many of the theocratic principles propounded by
Dr. Dowie. Nevertheless, little by little, the outside world made gradual but
irresistible encroachments on the city. When at last the newcomers exceeded the
Zion people, a change in city laws became imminent. A municipal election found
sufficient voters to repeal the theocratic laws originally instituted by John
Alexander Dowie. Tobacco and liquor began to be sold in the city. Theaters and
other worldly places of amusement were built. These developments, of course,
were a bitter blow to Overseer Voliva, who had striven so hard to keep these things
from getting a foothold in the community.
As we have mentioned, Wilbur Glenn Voliva, though not easily changed, was more
open to counsel than Dr. Dowie. Advisers exercised a moderating influence on
some of the doctrinal extremes that had crept in during the transition years, so
that today, the teaching in Zion is on the whole, evangelical and sound.
Overseer Anton Darms, one of Zions officers, for years vice-president of the
parochial schools and for ten years associate editor of THE LEAVES OF
HEALING, has exercised a profound influence over the church. The writer found
him a spiritual man, of high culture, and one whose friendship he highly esteems.
Overseer Darms has shown every courtesy in making available to him records
including rare documents, which have made it possible to get a well-rounded
picture of the whole Zion story. The Overseer also introduced the writer to a
number of the officials of the church, and most all that he met were found to be
congenial, friendly, and sincere. Incidentally, Mr. Darms, himself is a writer of

190

JOHN ALEXANDER DOWIE

A LIFE STORY OF TRIALS, TRAGEDIES AND TRIUMPHS

considerable note, and his books and articles have had wide circulation throughout
the country.
Wilbur Glenn Voliva died on October 11, 1942, and was succeeded by General
Overseer M. J. Mintern, who is generally regarded by his people as a kindly and
able administrator.
The WAUKEGAN NEWS-SUN makes this editorial comment on Overseer Volivas
passing: In the death of Wilbur Glenn Voliva, General Overseer of the Christian
Catholic Church of Zion, this region loses a colorful and dynamic figure, whose
name and exploits were known throughout the world.
Whether or not one agrees with the ideas that Overseer Voliva preached, or the
means that he used to attain his ends, one cannot but admit that he was a vigorous
personality with the strength of character sufficient to mold a large segment of
humanity according to his inspired plans. Any man who can direct a church for
thirty-five years and stand out as a political and financial leader in the bargain
must have plenty of determination, will power, and ability.
It is natural to speculate on what the issue would have been in Zion, if Dr. Dowie
had retained his good judgment and the vigor of ministry that he possessed when
in Chicago. While we may regret that such a sad termination came to his plans for
a city in which the principles of a theocracy were to be set in force, yet we must not
overlook that perhaps much that was intended in the plan and purpose of God for
Dr. Dowie was in the over-all picture, actually fulfilledto wit, the return of the
ministry of healing to the church.
As we have noted elsewhere, God did not permit the communal plan of the Early
Church to long continue, as, no doubt, the apostles and their followers had hoped
would.
The fierce persecution that arose resulted in practically all believers of Jerusalem
being scattered abroad. But wherever they went, they preached the Gospel. Thus
was Gods dominant purpose, world evangelization, furthered during this age,
although had the disciples been permitted to remain at Jerusalem, it might have
been much more pleasant for them and their families. But it is doubtful in that
case whether the other cities of the Jewish Nation would have been evangelized
before the terrible judgment of A. D. 70 came.
Out of Zion came F. F. Bosworth, and his brother B. B. Bosworth, whose healing
campaigns in the Twenties filled great auditoriums, seating many thousands of
people. From Zion went forth John G. Lake with a message that stirred all of South
Africa, and resulted in the establishing of hundreds of churches that remain to this
day. Dr. Phineas Yoakum went to Los Angeles to found the widely known Pisgah

191

JOHN ALEXANDER DOWIE

A LIFE STORY OF TRIALS, TRAGEDIES AND TRIUMPHS

Work. Raymond T. Richey who was only a lad at the time, unconsciously absorbed
the atmosphere of faith that pervaded the city, and later his healing ministry
became the phenomenon of the time. Another born in Zion has had a national
radio ministry for many years. From the ministry of these men and others we
might mention, there has arisen a host of men of faith who have had powerful
ministries. The Full Gospel movement which sprang into existence, coincidentally,
as Dr. Dowie passed from the scene, owes Zion a debt that it perhaps little realizes.
Many from that city whose names we could mention, have been, or are now,
leaders in the various organizations of the movement.
There were other Gifts of the Spirit and ministries which God intended to restore
to His church. The very capacities that enabled Dr. Dowie to break the spell of the
ages and reintroduce against overwhelming odds the great truth of Divine healing,
acted as a hindrance, effectually preventing him from being able to accept light
from another source than from the shining of his own candle. Men have their times
and seasons. Dr. Dowie fulfilled his destiny and he passed from the scene.
The result in Zion, most to be deplored, was the fact that some, through losses
involved in the financial disaster, had to endure heart-breaking hardships caused
by this misfortune. It is difficult to see how good could come out of the adversities
and great disappointments that these people had to endure. Yet, strange as it
might seem, the final outcome was different than was to be expected. The writers
own parents suffered considerable financial loss in the Zion debacle, and of course
were sorely disappointed in the outcome. Yet, oddly enough, they are not sorry
they went to Zion. They look back on the days that they spent there, for the most
part with pleasure, and the faith that inspired their souls while there, has stayed
with them throughout their life. At the time of writing, both, though advanced in
years, are yet alive. On one occasion, mother certainly would have gone to her
grave, had she not, through her bold faith for healing, received a miracle of
deliverance. There have been few, if any, whom the writer has met, who lived in
that dream city, who, having recovered from the initial disappointments, have
not felt that they received something in Zion that more than compensated them for
their temporal losses.
FIRST LESSON
The paramount lessons that we learn from the life of John Alexander Dowie are
three: First, that those whom God uses must be willing to suffer, be willing to stand
for the truth, though they go through grievous trial and affliction. They must count
favor with God, and the fulfillment of His Will of greater value than all the
comforts and luxuries of life. The cross comes before the crown. Worldly honor
and its favor must be counted as dung, if one is to secure that honor that comes
from God only. Even Christ the Perfect Son, learned through the things He
suffered. (Hebrews. 5:8,9). The early years of John Alexander Dowie portrays a

192

JOHN ALEXANDER DOWIE

A LIFE STORY OF TRIALS, TRAGEDIES AND TRIUMPHS

man who suffered defeat after defeat, trial after trial, humiliation after
humiliation; but through it all there remained, clear and bright, that faith in God
and His powerfaith that His word was immutably true and His promises sure.
SECOND LESSON
The second lesson, vividly taught in the life of John Alexander Dowie is the allimportance and power of a supernatural ministry. Disappointment followed
disappointment as long as he, in attempting to reach the masses with the Gospel,
used human methods. It was when he made the determination, live or die, sink or
swim, that he would enter into the ministry of Divine healing, that success came at
last. Within a decade from the time that he fully entered this ministry, his work
was known throughout the world. Literally tens of thousands of people were
brought to repentance, and the great message of deliverance and healing by faith
was sounded out over the earth. Previously, the world had turned a deaf ear to
him, but now they listened to him, for they saw the signs that followed his
ministry. Miracles of healing that took place in Chicago were of such a nature that
they startled the citys citizens into respectful attention. Though hell raged, and Dr.
Dowie was arrested 100 times in one year, Satan was powerless to stop his work. It
grew, it prospered, and the blessings of heaven were multiplied among the people.
Those who opposed, sooner or later fell by the wayside, some went to prison; with
others, sudden death ended their opposition.
THIRD LESSON
The last great lesson that we learn from John Alexander Dowie, is that the price of
uninterrupted spiritual victory, through the span of human life, must be that of
ceaseless vigilance. No enemy could harm John Alexander Dowie, but the enemy
within himself. Human pride, or tendency to self-exaltation, if given the least
chance to assert itself, sets in motion an inexorable reverse law in the spiritual
worldthe law of spiritual gravitation, which ever works to bring the exalted low.
As one rises higher and higher in spiritual power and blessing, and as his influence
among men becomes greater and greater, then, as Dr. Dowie once said in happier
days, he must ever seek to become lower and lower, and lower and lower. John
Alexander Dowie pioneered the way alone, and his mistakes may be forgiven. But
if we, upon whom the end of the age has come, and who have the opportunity to
profit from the lives of others who have gone before us, cannot learn the lesson,
but should repeat the error, we could justly blame no one but ourselves.
John Alexander Dowies body lies in the Lake Mound Cemetery of Zion. Near him
are the mortal remains of his wife, Jeanie, his son, Gladstone, and his daughter,
Esther. A half century ago the name of Dowie was known the world around, and he
was received by rulers and potentates. Now all that is reserved for him and his
family, in this world, is a little plot of earth. What a finality is Death! How

193

JOHN ALEXANDER DOWIE

A LIFE STORY OF TRIALS, TRAGEDIES AND TRIUMPHS

impossible it is for man to alter its verdict! Surely the somber reality of Death
teaches us that the only true course for a man while he has youth and strength and
vigor is to seek with all his heart and mind, the will of God, to give his all, yea, to
abandon himself utterly to the purpose of His Creator, in Whom alone is true
happiness and immortality. Then when youth has slipped away, and years add to
years, old age comes, and at last the grim reaper calls, there are no regrets. The
spirit of that man may pass peacefully through the veil to the land where Death
shall never reign.
John Alexander Dowie left this life feeling that his work was unfinished. His last
words were that he expected to come back during the Millennium and continue to
serve his Master. Who can say that this last dream of the Great Dreamer may not
come true? Surely there will come a day when all tears shall be wiped away, and
there shall be no more weeping as he wept that sad hour for his daughter, Esther,
when he stood beside the new-made mound, while clods fell upon the coffin lid. In
that day misunderstandings will be forgotten, and all shall have peace who trust in
Him Who alone is the source of peace.
And now the time has come when we must bid farewell to the man of God whose
faith in no little measure brought back to the Church the great message of
Jehovah-Rapha, Christ the Healer. May we see thee, John Alexander Dowie, on
that resurrection morning, when Christ Himself shall descend from heaven, when
the dead shall be raised and we shall be changed. If there be any tears on that day,
truly these shall only be tears of joy. As the Psalmist who also went through deep
waters of suffering, and drank of the cup of sorrow, said, Weeping may endure for
a night, but joy cometh in the morning.

After a period of comparative inaction, he awoke

And the opposition of
press, pulpit, medical fraternity, state and civic authorities were but avenues which spread abroad the
new propaganda and recruited the ranks of John
Alexander Dowie's following.
His strong, pungent, denunciatory words and aggressive methods concerning the practice of medicine
and surgery aroused the State Board of Health to action, in which they were defeated.
The city authorities then instituted action under the Hospital ordinance, causing the arrest of himself and wife on more
than one hundred separate charges.
He fought this fight, which lasted nearly a year,
to a finish, winning success in the upper courts, which
declared the ordinance under which the arrests had
been made, invalid.

and wealth was phenomenal.

Besides his ecclesiastical, educational and political
work, he kept his hand upon and gave personal attention to no less than thirty-seven industries, all a

Wide reaching plans,

that a new order was to be ushered in. He preached
a wide and all-embracing brotherhood of man, knowing no distinction of race or color.

April 1st a call to the pastorate of the Congregational
Church here. At the annual meetings of Cong. Union
I was admitted, on 16th, a ministerial member by a
unanimous vote, and three days since, (21st), I was,
in presence of a large assembly, publicly ordained "a
minister of the gospel, in connection with the Congregational or Independent body of South Australia."
Revs. F. W. Cox (Adelaide), J. C. McMichael (Gonder), J. R. Ferguson (Salisbury), J. Gibson (Angaston), P. Barr (Turo), M. Williams (Kapunda), and
W. Oldham (late Alma), all took various parts in the

while of those Christians attending and being evidently
most deeply interested there are men who would doubtless stand by me in the event of any wicked attempt
by an unfaithful majority in the church not to speak
of worldly men whose souls seem attracted by the
truth. But in all such supports is not my trust. "My
grace is sufficient for thee; for my strength is made
perfect in weakness." These words of God strengthen
me. For weak in myself indeed do I feel but I feel
I am right, and therefore strong in God. His promise
can never fail.
Now do pray for me. I value much
your sympathy and fervent prayer to God for me.
And now I scarcely like to tell you of what happened to myself on Wednesday night, lest it should
needlessly alarm you.
But it is one of the many
tokens of God's care which I am now receiving that
I really dare not keep it back.

Lower Alma (roads awful, night very cloudy and

have fully made up my mind to table the following
notice of motion for the annual meeting in May, 1873
"That this Union deeply deplores the great evils reIt is

sulting from the licensed traffic in intoxicating liquors

and earnestly calls upon all members of associated
churches to endeavour, by every private and public
effort within their power, to diminish and eventually
suppress so man-destroying and God-dishonoring a
trade." You know that I have for years past determined to work from the inside of the church, for the
most part, in regard to that worse than slave trade.

The time has come for action. What could possibly

be gained by delay? I am sick at heart with the cool
indifference with which the church regards great
moral evils, such as this traffic produces.
I foresee something of the obloquy which would
be heaped upon me by the worldlings inside and outside of our communion the sneering satire of "youthful enthusiasm"; the trimming and time-serving obstacles which for years might hinder the passing of
such a resolution; and the insinuations as to seeking
public prominence, etc.

on Sabbath, December 29, 1872. The church desires
to express their very high sense of his ministry in the
Lord to them, most reluctantly accepts his resignation,
and earnestly prays that God would bless him in all
his future work, abundantly crowning it in the salvation and strengthening of many souls."
The above comprises all the formal results of
Thursday evening's meeting. Informally much was
said before and after my retirement from the meeting,

His words come back to us as we journey on in these,
His footsteps: "These things have I spoken unto
you that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye
shall have tribulation; but be of good cheer; I have
overcome the world." And as these words of the
Saviour, the Captain of our Salvation, come down to
us they fall upon our listening ears like a soul-stirring,
fear-destroying melody sweet and strong, causing our
hearts to chant back "Yea, Lord, Thou hast overcome the world, and following Thee so may we for

ber 22 you will know the circumstances connected

with my coming here; and to that I have only to add
the fact that the

work

of Christ continues to prosper

under my ministry. The church is rilled to overflowing with a most earnestly attentive audience every
Sabbath, especially in the evening, a Sabbath School,
which I only organized three Sabbaths ago has considerably over 70 scholars on the roll, 11 of whom
were youg men between 15 and 30 years old, who form
a Bible-class. My people are very enthusiastic about
their new minister, and I have been most honorably
treated by my brother ministers, who have shown me
every kindness, and welcomed me to their gatherings
on a footing of perfect equality. Next Sabbath, I leave
my pulpit here for the day, and preach in Sydney two
sermons on behalf of Camden Congregational College
funds and it is one of the good signs, that even for the
day, the people are very unwilling to have me replaced, even by one of our most successful city ministers.
These things and many others, more indeed
than I can put on paper, are very cheering, and everything seems bright and prosperous; the necessity for

human happiness is held can never be forgotten, I

the Bible. Therefore, I can experimentally testify that
there can be no comparison between the

two systems,

and opposed
systems they certainly are, and every day multiplies
evidence of this assertion. Experience has proved to
me, that there is one, mighty, omniscient Holy Spirit,
and that there is neither need nor room for any other
teacher and guide into the way of all Truth, than that
Spirit who, to every faithful follower of Jesus, gives
strength, purity, love and eternal peace all through
life here, to immortality hereafter.
When I find God's revealed will insufficient for my
spiritual guidance; when I find nobler precepts and
greater principles of truth than Jesus has declared;
when there directly comes to me a more blessed Consoler and Guide than the Spirit which daily "helpeth
my infirmity" and teaches me how to pray, as well as
pleads "with unutterable groanings within me" when
I am weak and err,

A reproachful conscience, who can bear? He answers that he cannot, and therefore perforce has commenced to write, though strongly tempted to put it
off again
for he is tired and desirous of a little
rest.
But, doubtless he will forget it all as the pen
and the mind and the stiff, unpliable hand gets used
:

to their occupation.

Your letters are always interesting; but they are

always too short. You need patience. Writing is
about as irksome to me as to you but I overcome that
a good deal by persistent pegging away.
Do write
more fully. It develops one's own thought, and leads
to greater facility and precision in the use of God's
great gift to man language. This you know, doubtless; but by way of remembrance I find it necessary
to stir up your thinking powers.

Nothing is becoming more deeply impressed upon
my mind of late than the principle of absolute nonreliance upon one's fellow men, no matter how good.
It is well when I and others can thoroughly cooperate in any portion of Christ's work; but I feel
that one must be ever ready to part company with
even the most valued co-operator who strikes off to
pursue some other path or plan in which we either
cannot or dare not share. This feeling ought to draw
us close to God, as workers together with Him, and
thus cause us more fully to rely upon Him.

gave me a thrill of pain to hear, he implored me to

he had several times before at home.
Ashamed and disgraced, he shipped as a common

was about a month in reaching that port. There he

preachers, and even now there is only one thorough

In the morning I arose early. Uncle and Jeanie

down to breakfast. Uncle had to go in to Sydney, and
was to meet us at the wharf and after he went I found
how Jeanie had been crying bitterly about it all.
had a little talk about it again, and I asked her to allow
me to speak to uncle, but she asked me not to. Eventually we agreed that she would think over it all, and
then when she got home, she would write and tell me
whether I should write to uncle asking his consent.
Thus deciding, we went with the party for the day,

She told him I had, and what she had promised to
do write when she got home and so forth. Upon
this he expressed his disapproval of the matter, as being wrong between cousins, and told her she must
write at once and tell me that it could not be. She preferred to tell it to me, and did so in this conversation.

That

is all.

And now what can I say? So far as I know, this

will exercise, now more than ever, a most important
influence upon my future, though it would be quite
premature to say in what particular ways. One thing
has been growing clearer and clearer, that however
easy it may be for any person in private life to live
singly permanently, it is, as society is at present constituted, a condition full of vexations and difficulties
for a minister of the Gospel, and interferes with the
thorough discharge of his duties. Now you may say,
"There is no reason to realize the supposition, for you
may yet marry some one else."
I do not think so, and I think I know myself better
than you can.
In almost any other position my condition would
be comparatively easy to what it is now, for often it
is almost intolerable, and that in ways impossible to
express in writing or even in speech. Then at my age,

When I began this letter to you, it was with the

which he very justly attaches considerable importance.
I have studied it, and with a full view of all the risks
supposed by some to exist, I am quite prepared to face

ever become realities. The stress which he attaches to

and dispassionately viewing the matter as one of vital
moment to me upon whom the future troubles, were
there any, would chiefly rest.
When uncle was here he spoke to me about an
article which he read in my study in "The British
Quarterly Review" for July 1st on "Sin and Madness,
From a Physician's Point of View".
He referred to that article with approval, and as it
did not occur to me at the time as having any lengthened allusion to the question of cousins marrying for

claims.

to be no one here or in the other colonies who, being

for us then, and "manifest forth His glory," so that
the white raiment of Divinest brightness may shine

the Lord is to be our marriage place, surely we may
expect many bright and cheering tokens of His presence and transforming spiritual power. Angels sung
Adam's marriage hymn, in the abode of human innocence and love, and all sentient nature, from air,

Dear Father and Mother

You are no doubt getting quite amazed at my long
silence, and yet I am quite sure you would not deal
too hardly with me even in your thoughts. However,
I have not kept you waiting nearly so long as you did
me, and there is this also in my favor, that I have a
great deal to do. But I have reason after all to be
greatly ashamed of myself. And can only say I will
try to be a better boy in future.
We are well and very thankful to God for that
blessing. Sometimes I feel anything but well, and so
very weary both in mind and body. There is such a

of life. Pray for me "that utterance may be given unto
me, that I may open my mouth boldly, to make known
the mystery of the Gospel." Men around me who love
the Lord are praying for me thus, and I believe that
devils, too, are working with their might to try and
hinder the work of the Lord in our midst.
Do keep on praying for me. I never needed prayer
more than now for never more strongly than now was
I tempted to think I had erred in entering upon the
ministry at all, and require all the sympathy and support I can get to uphold me in this great warfare.
Sometimes I feel overwhelmed with the vastness of
the work, with the terrible weight of my responsibility,
and with my weakness, ignorance and sin. There are
none who can love the Lord and who can love the
souls of men without meeting the malice of men, and
This is my condition just now,

and I have recently been exposed to malice in a peculiarly bitter and painful form.
Enough of that. I must go on doing what seems

And now I must turn to two matters of public
interest one of which has doubtless created a profound sensation throughout the colonies. The first
is the terrible story of the loss of the "Dandenong",
and the second is the interesting, suggestive and discreditable spectacle of our Governor (Sir H. Robinson) and Mr. Fairfax discussing as to who is most to
blame for the vice of gambling on horse-races which
disgraces our community and destroys our youth.
Fifty-seven lives at least were lost in the "Dandenong," and I expect the full accounts of the disaster have been republished in Adelaide.
When "the
lights disappeared suddenly" doubtless the vessel
sunk: for every search has been made without avail.
The story is a sad one indeed, and a Christian

Right Honorable and Dear Sir:

In this remote portion of the British Dominions,

are not without our share in the great controversies

which are profoundly agitating our Fatherland and

Europe generally.
Not least of these is that concerning the present
aspect of Papalism towards the consciences and the
liberties of men everywhere, and, since you have taken
a foremost place amongst contemporary men in laying
bare the real nature of the great conspiracy against

progress and freedom now embodied in the Papacy,

have taken the great liberty of forwarding to you
by this mail a pamphlet written by myself, exposing
the falacies and the fictions of the champion orator
of Papalism in Australia, Dr. Roger B. Vaughan,
Roman Catholic Arch Bishop of Sydney.
You will see from pages 37 how he has dealt with
your late article in the "Contemporary" on "The Courses of Religious Thought," which very effectively illustrates, I think, the truth
of your eight charges
against Ultramontanism, viz "its tendency to sap veracity in the individual mind."

morning and I was glad to know you were stronger,

wholly recovered now. I thank God for His mercy and
care over you in your journey.
You know already from my previous letters that the
letter you mention as having been written from Scotts'
Hotel, Melbourne, never reached me, and that I am
quite ignorant of the events which happened up to that
time or how it was that you came to be there. Please
tell me all about that part of your journey and to
whom you gave the letter which never reached me.
I am thankful to the Meadowcrofts for their kindhas such hard
ness to you, and sorry that poor
times. You did right about the money, though I will
never ask them for the balance until they seem more
able to pay it, but will leave it to their own time for
with so many children it seems to me they must be
only one removed from positive need, and though I
am poor, I will not verify Solomon's proverb "A poor
man that oppresseth the poor is like a sweeping rain
which leaveth no food."
About your question as to how I got on upon the
Wednesday evening after you left, the evening upon
which the stars, shining out overhead in the sky,
seemed to raise your heart to thoughts of God, and by
His conscious presence make you to trust Him with
a firmer faith and a purer love a presence which
caused your depression to fly and no wonder, fey
darkness always flees before Divine Light in the soul.
Well, I must thank you for praying for me then
for just about that very time, probably from what you
say, a quarter of an hour later, I had an especial blessing at my meeting, where without a single note, I
preached a most comforting and strengthening discourse to a very much larger audience than usual. And
this is more remarkable still when I mention the text,
which came to my mind with much force just about
one quarter past seven o'clock, in the second chapter
of Matthew, 10th verse "When they saw the star,
they rejoiced with exceeding great joy." I have seldom

is

not this an encouragement to us both to pray and believe that God, while we are praying, is answering our

thing it shows us is the good we may get through
writing to each other about these things; for, if you
had not mentioned the fact of your so thinking, feeling,
and praying, I would not have known that I was specially helped in answer to your special prayer. The Holy
Spirit which dwells within us both will often thus reveal to us our union with each other in God; and this

need to be told that my life has been full of
sins and errors of judgment, and certainly when I am
suffering do not need any of my nearest to join in the
cry "He saved others, himself he cannot save," which
comes to me now as to many since Christ heard it in
His hour of darkness though then it came from His
enemies. I have confessed my sins to a forgiving and
gracious God, I have even confessed to man, and I
have done, am doing, and shall do, what in me lies,
aided by God, to see that no one suffers permanent loss
through my errors, and through my overconfidence in
men who should have been trustworthy.
But I fail to see any one's right to reproach me,
simply because I did not burden them with my
troubles; and I now say without any anger but with
calm deliberation, if you find yourself and our pet
looked upon thus in the slightest degree, you are to
come back to me at once, for I will not have that, no,
not for a moment. I can keep you here, as you know,

it was for your sakes I let you go.

glad I have not, and do not intend to. It would hurt
me now for him to help. These many years past have

which declined with warm heart thanks.

I will confess to you alone, that I thought then I would
go to "my ain folk" for what aid I might need, but
after your father's sneers and criticism, I would rather
go back for a time into business if it were necessary,
than to ask any of them. So you will please let your
father know, in your own words, that I am sorry I
wrote about my troubles to him, that I did not, and do
not, ask him to help me at all in any way, and that I
want you to come back at once if there is any more
said about me and them such as has been said, for
there is fresh air, and food, and a house here for you as
well as in South Australia. Indeed I am thoroughly
sorry you went back now, and you will remember that
I had a half foreboding that something like this would
occur. I cannot bear to think of you, even though in
your father's home, being anywhere that I am so
spoken of, for much of that kind of influence would go
far to lessen your love for me, if anything could, and
put thoughts of bitterness into the cup of our life which
would embitter our happiness for many a year. Neither
my father nor your father might do that willingly, but
though I love them both, I know that they can both
say and do bitter things that can rankle like poisoned

arrows for many a year, as they both know to their
mutual cost; but I am determined, if possible, that they
shall not even thoughtlessly do this to me.
October 23rd.
Looking back this morning over what I wrote
yesterday I find a good many things rather more
strongly expressed, perhaps, than I would care for any
one else to see but you to whom alone I write and yet
there is no substantial alteration in my views therein
expressed after a good deal of reflection. So you will
;

please, my love, consider them as expressing my

thoughts and wishes in substance, even though were
I to rewrite them it might be in a milder form.
However you know me now too well to imagine that there
is anything of personal rancor in my apostrophes, for
you know my tendency to forcible expressions regarding what I see to be dangerous things. You will not
need that I should say that I don't hate your father
for what he said, though I very heartily hate and strike
at what he did say, as wrong in itself, and not very
kindly or tenderly conceived so far as I was concerned,
because my present position, viewed from the human
standpoint, is not very enviable, and very hazardous,
I fully admit.
When a man is climbing up the face of
a precipitous cliff, with stormy sea and sharp rocks
far beneath him, it would scarcely be kind, no matter
how strong and sure footed he might be, for any one
to shout "Go back
You will fall and kill yourself if
you go a single step further !" And though I will not
say that is really my position for, viewing it from the
Divine side, I would say that even were I, which is
likely enough, in a dangerous human position (for I
carry my life and all, as every one does, with but a
step between me and death) there is no reason to fear.
Psalm XC expresses my highest expectations, and
its promises fulfill my highest longings and still my
clamorous fears into quiet confidence. I do not intend
to cast myself down to prove the 11th and 12th verses,

I am sure, when you did, you were not concerned
about the fly's safety, or fear that the rock was giving
way, and that the fly was about to be plunged into the
gulf.
Neither may you fear, if you and I are clinging
to the Rock and hiding in some little cleft of Him, for
He can keep us where life would seem to be impossible,
because He Himself, the Rock of Ages, must be torn
away from His everlasting foundations of Omnipotence ere the weakest believer that hangs upon Him
can perish. Is not that a firm foundation for us to

build upon?
I had rather, though I am myself one of the very
weakest of His children, build my house there though
it made but a very poor appearance to the sneering

yea, I had rather do this, ten thousand
times rather, than own all the palaces and treasures of
the world built on the shifting sands of Time, for they
shall fall, and, with all who cling to them, be swept
away into the sea of Divine Wrath whilst the soul on

we won't find thousands going to certain damnation
through the Devil and his wiles, for hundreds who
are being saved through Christ and His Church.
There is no lack of power in Christ in Him is "all
power" and "all fullness" the lack is in His people
and because there is with them a "mixed multitude"
who are strongly numbered among His people and
who suppose that gain is godliness. There lies our
weakness. But oh, for the purifying and strengthening
power! It is the Spirit we need.
We need Love and Self-sacrifice, and Courage to
look at things as they really are in God's sight, and
Strength to go on without fear and do the right. My
darling, I am crushed into the very dust of self-abasement to think of how wretchedly unfruitful my life
has been, and how fearful and weak my heart is now
when I shrink from the Cross, the pain, and the shame
which will surely come if I follow Jesus fully and yet
He knows, He knows I want to. My heart is sick
and faint when I behold the desolations of sin among
men, and the cool self-complacency of those who look
upon them, perishing, without apparently one heart
pang of grief or thought of relief who just "pass by
on the other side" and leave the robbed and wounded
and naked to die in their sins. Oh, my God, fill my
heart with more faith in Him, in His word, and in His
Son who is "mighty to save," and ready to save! I
am empty, sometimes, it seemsfi of all strength, and
have only fearful void in my soul, where Doubt and
Fear and Sorrow flit like dark specters, and where
hated Sin lurks and wants to drag me down in Despair.
May God empty me of all evil, fill me with
Light, and endow me with Strength, for elsewhere I
know not where it is for "God hath spoken once
twice have I heard this, that power belongeth unto
God." I feel so powerless and so empty even with this

How very kind you were in your condescension
to my supposed craven spirit when you "throughly

have been more utterly abusive had I been a low thief,
in some parts of his letter, and which are insufferably

things you have "thoroughly endorsed". I am said to
have caused you "to go through an ordeal mortifying

nature". Don't you think that I was surprised to find

without one last dying bark of protest. But, being

such as I am, I am conscious that I would be only
foolish to regard such a mixture of misrepresentation
and low bounce. How dare any man so insult me if
I have wronged anyone, to them am I responsible and
to my offended God; but to this man I owe nothing
but a forbearing love, which he is trying to its utmost.
I had rather break stones tomorrow on the highway
than even turn a thought to him as my helper.
And I feel I would indeed be a distruster of God
to think that I should ever be left to his tender mercies.
Remember that I thought it only a duty to tell him
my affairs, as your father, and that I never asked him
for any help at any time, nor gave him any warrant

you to endorse these sentiments? Is it likely that this

Him more and more entirely, and I love His service
more, and I trust Him more, and I want more and

I say, even my actual resignation is not known so
very widely yet: for of course the "Herald" ignores
it altogether.
Well, the three are, first, I was asked
to allow my name to be put before a church in Brisbane by the Rev. E. Robinson (I declined) second,
my intimation that I might come into Sydney has
been hailed with delight by scores and, third, last
night after my deacons' meeting there was a deputation of three gentlemen waiting to see me who said
they came and I know them well from the Congregational church at Waterloo to say that, if I would
give them but the slightest hope of a favorable reception, the deacons of that church were sure that I
should receive a cordial and unanimous call and a
position at least equal to that I hold at Newtown could
easily be guaranteed, so far as money was concerned.

I told them that my views upon fundamental Christian truth were not only unchanged but more assured
than ever, so that whilst I would plead for freedom
in interpretation I would more firmly than ever proclaim the infallibility of the Bible as the

my

policy were quite unchanged and that in leaving and

not cease to be an "Independent", nor cease to teach
the independent rights and responsibilities of the
churches, but that I was determined to be independent
in every way of the "Congregational Union", which
was in its corporate capacity an aggregation of ciphers
so far as spiritual power was concerned, because Mammon seemed to be President, and mean Cliqueism
seemed to be the standing Committee, which managed
its affairs; I told them that I held in high esteem and
loving sympathy very many whom the denomination

of the inevitable sneers of the incredulous or the con-

temptuous, but because my heart was filled with a holy

passion for the misguided, ignorant, uncared for, and
perishing thousands who are in the bondage of Satan
in our cities.
This is what I told them, and then I
sketched the possibilities of my gathering together
many of these from all classes to hear the Gospel and
truth of God, and how a church might be formed
which should work night and day in various ways for
the reclamation, and elevation, and restoration to God
of the perishing thousands, first in Sydney, and then
around it; and then I asked them from what they now
knew whether they thought I was right in my reasonings and determinations, their answer was direct and
hearty that I was right and that they could no longer
think of urging their claims, believing that the work
which I had sketched out and the way to do it had
been laid upon me by God, and with enthusiasm they
declared that they believed the heart of Sydney was
"the place for me to go to", and that there would be
no difficulty in the means necessary to found this Free
Christian Church in Sydney.
Now that is all I have to say in answer to endorsement number four; and I will not further advert to
the sneers about "miracles" and "the first duty of the
Christian man" which I am falsely charged with neglecting, except to say that I have never neglected it

your own letter. You say at the end, "Do you think
me hard in this letter for I do love you so" you
might have added "little" for so little love and sympathy, and so much blame and distrust is in it that
I almost wonder whether you can possibly love me
so very much after all. I know that I never felt any
doubt about it until now, and you know how precious
the thought of at least one heart being wholly mine
was, and wholly I gave you mine but when I see distrust, fear and reproach wrongfully, how can I but
question whether your heart is wholly mine? for
such things exist generally only where love is selfish
and weak. How different from all this were you when
we were together but you have never during the last

Dear Wife
I have just re-read all that I have written and,
though I feel that no mere words ever can correctly
or fully convey what one wishes to say, yet I have
nothing to alter or withdraw, stern though it may
seem to be in some parts, and imperfect in expression
in others.
I have prayed these last two days, during
which I have had many duties to attend to, that God
would guide me to write as I should, a faithful husband's letter to you and you have it. Never in our
life have we had such a determined attempt of the
Great Enemy to put a great gulf of estrangement between us, and it is all the more painful when the means
used are the bitter words which have been written and
endorsed by those who are nearest to me. It is a singular coincidence that I have almost never taken any
step forward in my life, but I have had to walk alone
either with scant sympathy or positive hindrance on
the part of "friends," who have forgotten that fact
conveniently when I have succeeded. But I did think
that the days of walking alone had passed when you
promised to "love, honour and obey me" before God,
and when I took you "to love and to cherish" until

death should part us for "better or worse."

Will you not right heartily stand by me now and

loves even where the eye cannot pierce and the mind
cannot fully comprehend? Therein consists the true
love which binds true hearts forever. Why make it

I say, have you not proved that "fear hath
torment?" Yes, the spirit of fear in the heart produces at once as its first born child a monster called
"Torment" because the Word of God says it, and all
experience proves it and unless these two, Fear and
its firstborn, Torment, be cast out of the heart then
they will produce between them a horrid progeny of
devils in the heart
a perfect legion such as dwells
now in tens of thousands of hearts, destroying all that
is fairest and most beautiful in man, and on the earth
wrecking family life in its best forms, and leading men
to lose all hope of a Heaven of Love on earth or above.
Do you not see, then, that the conclusion of the
whole matter is that "He that feareth is not made perfect in love?" What, then, can we do but go to Him
who is Love and its Giver, and seek from Him that
perfect Love which casts out this horrid Fear which
would doubt His power, limit His mercy and distrust
His care?
I did think you were proof against fear in whatever
disguise it might come to you, even in the guise of
Worldly Prudence, one of its commonest masks but

Does it not seem

to prefer the silver and gold we so much require, to
the Truth which seems to bring with the love of it
such painful sacrifices of all worldly goods sometimes?
Yes, but Truth is the "good part" and whatever else
we may lose it shall not be taken away from us, for it
is "the one thing needful" which must be our guide
and strength on earth and our passport to Heaven. We

October 31 which you had received, I

suppose, before you sent the telegram which reached
me on Thursday eve. It may be you did right to send
that telegram and to stay where you are until you and
your father wrote to me in reply; but none the less
clear is it that you have disobeyed me, and my desires
as to your actions are thwarted by your father's desires
and your own. You have broken your marriage vow
you promised to love, honour, and to obey me. The
threefold cord is not easily broken but if you untwine
one cord you destroy union. I care not what threats
were held out, I care not what hopes were held out, I
care not what gifts were held out before your eyes
you should have obeyed me and left at once.
God
made you dependent and you assert independence. It
matters not that you promised to "do whatever I may
desire," after I read what your father writes and considers it you are meanwhile divorced
self divorced
from me in one of the essentials of true marriage and
your father, not me, is your head. He has "put us
asunder" thus far money won't mend that breach,
for the links that bind hearts are not of gold. He gave
you to me God, I believed, gave you to me and now
he keeps you from me. He has sinned, for he had no
right to come between us and you have sinned, for
you had no right to allow him to do that. Again I
say, money, or advice, or rebukes, or anything he can
do, will never mend that breach. Only God can mend
it, but God would have been better pleased, I am sure,
had it never been made and I am sure I would.

seems to me, for our love and honour depends upon

our obedience to His will as expressed to us by His
Son and Spirit. "If ye love me, keep my commandments" are His words again and again. We may be,
and are still His children, though we often disobey;
but we are none the less sinful yea, all the more sinful because inexcusable
when we thus trample upon
His love, and most plainly dishonour His, by a disobedience, no mattter how short or in what matter.
Christ is our Pattern and His life was a life of obedience to His Father's will, and thus He showed His
love and honour of that Father whom a false friend
had traduced, and a rebel world has scorned.
And Christ and His Church are our pattern in our
marriage bond "as the church is subject unto Christ,

for time and eternity.
Now Jeanie, my wife, before I married you I sought
God's guidance and direction, for I wanted a wife of
God's choosing if I were to get one at all; and you
know I wooed and won you fairly, for yourself alone.
Did you marry me for myself alone? I believe you
did.
If so, then circumstances won't alter our case,
and come riches or poverty, honour or shame, we shall
be true to each other. But why do you then fail me

do you not think I need some

understand now a little more of what Christ felt in
His last temptation when His "soul was exceeding
sorrowful even unto death". He took three of His
loved ones with Him into the garden and said "Tarry
here, and watch with me." But twice He found "they

for marriage for a long time, and made me rather
afraid of it. But I got over it, rightly, as I thought,
when I found you had such a place in my heart; and
the three verses, (3 to 5,) have acquired since that

not, have before. When I see how Satan has tempted

after a heavy day's work. The shadow of death, too,

Your letters have driven my weariness of heart

so truly one with me again, and to know that even your
father had been so favorably affected by what was, I
must confess, rather stern handling in some parts,
was so unexpected and complete a change of the
whole situation of affairs, that it seemed too good to
be true, and my heart found relief in what you women
call "a good cry," and a very grateful tribute of praise
and prayer to God.

while I am quite conscious that I was saying the
thing which was right and true, and trying to say it in
a right way, as I am quite sure I was saying it with a
loving spirit and the highest motives, yet I often question my own heart sharply as to why I never seem to
get along with some classes of minds and these not a
few in the Christian Church to whom my words seem
to act like a red rag does upon a bull which, until it
sees the color, is feeding quietly in the meadow. Nothing could have been further from my desire than to
give needless personal offense there was no personal
antagonism in my mind at all but yet the application
seemed to be made.
I hate "strife amongst the herdsmen," for I know
the enemy rejoices; and I make none, so far as I can
prevent it or avoid it without sacrificing principle;
but that I cannot and dare not do for every good principle is just a Divine truth, and it is not mine to surrender, if I would, but God's gift, which I must use
as a talent and account for, when the Lord and Chief

What will the Lord say to you and I, if we leave
undone the great work He has given us to do work

it, will remain forever undone?
Only think of what
God would do by us if we were wholly consecrated to
Him; and when I think what a wasted life so much
of mine has been, and how poor and miserable is its
best, I am overwhelmed with shame and almost filled
with heart sickening despair. Very far am I from feeling holier than others, even though I point out wherein we have erred and should now labour.
But really my digression has carried me quite far
enough and I must return to the subject from whence
these remarks about my work has sprung and that
is your last letters.
I have already said how much they have cheered
me, and especially the first of the two, and how fully
your frank admission and loving, trustful expressions
have won my heart and comforted it. But no words

has passed away by his own consent and God's ordination into other hands.

fuse their right to advise in a proper way
way of the man who had "a donkey that wouldn't go."
Then, they must not think that they are not respected
because their advice is not always taken for if I were
to take a tithe of the contradictory advice which has
been given me during the last ten years, I should
come to a dead stop and do nothing. I would be like
the captain of a steamer who stopped his engines because one passenger was sick and could not bear the
vibration of the screws; or reversed them because
some one wanted to go back to port; or send at high
pressure all the way to please another passenger who
wanted to see what could be done without bursting;
or pulled up and lowered a boat, because a child demanded that his toy which had gone overboard should
be got back for him.
When, do you think, that captain would accomplish
his voyage? Never!
And even so it is with every man's life. The path
each man has to tread is before unknown and untrodden for the time that lies in the future no eye but
the Eternal God's hath seen; the circumstances of
every man differs from every other and from all that
ever preceded him, in many important matters; and
though the experience of the past and present must be
studied and not ignored, for it is of very great value,
yet it can never be a guide for any man's future or for
another man's path entirely only God who knows
all can be a safe Guide into the unknown (and that is
life), and His Word is the Chart, and the Spirit is the
Guide, which leads us into the path which Christ has
trod before us the only safe and true Way of Life.
Therefore, with all love let me say it, I will take no advice from any one which differs from the Chart; and
I desire to give none but what agrees with that.

I never do either lightly.
But seeing I have been
left so much with God and His Chart for my only

straight to God with every difficulty and trust Him
in every danger. Then, when I get into the world, I
do not run about asking every one to advise me I go
right on with the thing that seems to me to be right,
and that is by no means always or often the thing
which seems pleasantest or safest. I find it comes
out right always, and if ever it does not come out so,
it is because I have allowed men's opinions and advice to over-rule my serious convictions. This habit
of mine no doubt makes it sometimes appear that I am
impulsive, when I am only earnestly working out

Sunbeam. Yet, dear, we must take care of idolatry:
for God will give us sorrow if we place any creature

ever, I toiled on and on to reach the lion's den through
the damp, slimy bog and thick undergrowth, until at
last I came to a place where I was told by some one
that the lion would have to pass that way to reach its
den. There I stood and carefully laid my gun across
a little withered branch and placed it to my shoulder
prepared to fire as the lion passed.
Soon it came,
walking slowly, carrying you along in its teeth. I fired
and you came towards me with a cry
it fell dead
of joy. But just at that moment, when I would have
run to meet you, I felt myself held back and at the
same time a pressure upon my breast and a choking
sensation in my throat. The gun fell from my hands
as I looked, and saw that a great serpent had coiled
itself around my legs and body and there was its horrid head raised to strike, and the coils were tightened

Writing is so cumbrous and unsatisfactory a mode

and I do so long to have you so near me

you can see what I mean, as you used to, without

roundabout speech. I have quite lost all conceit of

powers as a letter writer to you: for what I have
written is so imperfect an expression of what I mean.
Yet there's a lore,

For instance, all through these letters I seem to

have said very little about our darling little boy; and
yet he has such a large place in my heart and thought.
I would find speech here very inadequate
and yet I
read all you say about him as indeed I do all your
letters
over and over, and over and over again.
You must tell him that father does love him, oh, so
much; and that when he comes back I will sing to
him, and make all sorts of speeches to him, and play
bopeep, and give him rides upon my head, and laugh
until he laughs again, and steal him from mother for
ever so long. And oh, I do so long that he may be a
good, noble hearted man if he lives free from all
pride, and meanness, and self-seeking, and filled with
gentleness and generosity, and coveting earnestly the
best gifts, above all the gift of Divine love, the greatest
of God's gifts.
Sometimes I feel that God has given to us a very

will be a blessing to thousands and tens of thousands;

I have often thought of that grandfather of whom so

were a thoughtful pair, and if our family crest, a dove
with an olive leaf flying across a dark sea and "Patience" as the motto, had meaning to those of our race
who first chose it then the dove means Purity or
Holiness the olive leaf means Peace and Victory
and the motto, Patientia, means Patience or Perseverance. Did they not hope these first Dowies long ago
in auld Scotia
that all their race would be pure messengers, patiently bearing the Gospel of peace across
the troubled sea of life to sinking hearts, and did they
not hope that they would be victorious over all ill?
I do not, and no one, knows, but I like to think it sometimes; and what a glorious thing it will be for us to
find in heaven some of them who can tell about it,
and show how we fulfilled in this Australian land the

thoughts God put in their hearts long ago. Better is

the Olive of Peace than the Emblem of War.
Remember me with love to all and be especially
good to my dear, dear old mother. Kiss her for me,
and tell her how sorry I am that she is not stronger.
Assure her of my love and constant prayer for her;
and tell her that I have been often tempted to think
I would like to be rich, if it were only to make her
more comfortable. I wish I had been more of a comfort and help than I have been. She was always good
to me, and I fear I was sometimes impatient and fretful
for which I know she has long ago forgiven me.
During the last nine years from home my life has been
very busy, but I have never forgotten her and my
father for a single day in prayer and loving thought.
Tell her so, and say, too, that I am glad my little boy
has been folded in his grandmother's arms, and that
she has seen his face and blessed the child. I hope
to see her yet again on earth, but I feel sure by God's

nothing to say at present.

But as to your letter, there are several observaupon that extraordinary production which I now
feel myself compelled to make: not that I deem any
defense of my actions to be due to you in the slightest
degree, but that you may see what your letter really
amounts to, and to what extremely absurd results
the principles set forth in it must inevitably lead you.
And since perfect candor of expression is your evident
motto, I will not waste words in useless apology for
tions

adopting a similar mode of writing, but shall deal at

once with your letter in the plainest and most candid
fashion. At the same time, I very deeply regret that
such a task is forced upon me; but my longer silence
might be misinterpreted to my damage, and, what I
care infinitely more about, to the damage of the Lord's
work.
Your letter is meaningless, or pernicious nonsense
180


THE PEESONAL LETTEES OF JOHN ALEXANDEE DOWIE
in

some

parts, utter folly in others,

and quite presump-

tituous in tone throughout.

I

begin by dealing with the last of these three as-

sertions.
It is presumptuous because you and I have never
been on such intimate terms of private friendship as
to warrant the adoption of your tone of writing; nor
can you possibly have a knowledge of my private feelings, or thoughts, or ministerial and other life as could
in the slightest degree fit you to take upon yourself
the role of the candid friend. When I know that I
never made a single important personal confidential
communication to you in my life; when I cannot recall a half an hour of private intercourse, or any conversation of that length with you, except in the presence of one or more other persons, for fully three years
a period which covers the whole of my ministry in
Newtown when I remember the treacherous whisperings, concerning which I was only too well informed
of which you and others were guilty at the time I
left Manly to come here, or rather when the church

here were considering the desirability of calling

me

to

be pastor; and when I reflect for how long a time I

have ceased to respect your judgment or to regard
your opinion upon most matters for your inflated
conceit in your general conduct most effectually re-

pelled

me

I cay,

when

remember

all this,

and much

more, then your impudence in attempting to play the

part of the well informed, trusted and confidential
friend does seem to me to be a piece of unjustifiable
presumption.
It is not to be wondered at, therefore, if it be
scarcely possible for me to find anything like a wise
or fair view of my conduct or capacity in your letter;
and to call the miserable scarecrow sketch of myself
a correct portrait is indeed "utter folly".
But it is
very much more than that, it is a miserable, spiteful
estimate of

apparently unsatisfied with this flight of genius, you
soar to prophetic heights, and from the giddy summit
of your self-conceit, you behold my future misery, and
warn me that I shall "bitterly rue it," if I "plunge into
fresh schemes and fresh expenditure". And then you
meekly descend to communicate to me the interesting
results of your profound inquiries concerning that
awful question, in your sight, of my "dispensing" with
your sympathy and support I never had it, by the
way, and never missed it for of course you were

freed from the apparent enough delusion, as I now see
it is, that truth was the first consideration with the
Congregational Union and not Mammon or other cognate powers. That antipathy, to pass over to one of
its last manifestations, did its poor best in the unmanly,
unprovoked, and most anti-Christian attack of the editor of the denominational "little candle" (you know I
am not joking, for that is your approved title of it on its
very front) at the Christian Convention in Sydney,
when that faint luminary of Congregational darkness
was promptly put under a bushel by the very distinguished Christian minister who presided, and whose
repeated expressions of loving sympathy with me, and
of entire approval of my speech, more than compensate
for any pain which that ponderous "little candle" holder's conduct had momentarily caused me.
Yes, I now

candor you have shown, and I am sorry, sinis not very flattering to you.
It is quite apparent to me that, all through your
ministerial life, the folly of your Gawler escapade
when your were nearly frightened out of your wits,
and frantically sought advice from Dan to Beersheba of Congregationalism in South Australia, I say
it appears to me, that has haunted you till this day.
The ghost of that or some other affair, still manifestly

its mandates with much devotion

is "Look always first to

And the

upon the fact that I "have prayed over the matter
and that God has shown me the plain path of duty";
and further, inspired by this said ghost, you utter this
question,

Conseqently, it follows that being in this awfully helpless
condition I "must recognize my need and trust those
who can supply the want". And, in case I or anyone
should ask, "Oh, wondrous being, do reveal to my ignorance and wee where these glorious guides are to
be found ?" The answer is with prophetic instinct
provided by you in the very next words: "There are
men, whose long, useful, and peaceful career in the
churches (Congregational of course you mean) should
encourage you to seek from them (wonderful !) the

Sir:

As one

desire to raise an emphatic protest

against the design of the promoters of the meeting

convened by the Acting-Mayor for Monday next.

At that meeting it is intended to adopt an address
to the Earl of Beaconsfield, congratulating him upon
the wisdom and success of his foreign policy.
There are many reasons why no such meeting
should be held, and why no such address should be
adopted. The whole of the facts are not before us
regarding the recent Congress at Berlin, and it will
form an inconvenient and dangerous precedent, should
an irresponsible public meeting in Sydney express itself rashly upon any act of British foreign policy, and
190

THE PEESONAL LETTEES OF JOHN ALEXANDEE DOWIE

presume to forward that expression as the deliberate
judgment of the Colony of New South Wales, as seems
to be the intention. Moreover, the act would not only
be presumptuous, but I am convinced it would be entirely opposed to the views held by very large numbers
of most thoughtful colonists. And I will venture to
lay respectfully before the public

thinking, with

my

These are very grave charges, I am aware, and they

are not lightly made. I shall endeavor to justify their
accuracy and the necessity for making them.
As to the first of my assertions, a really candid and
careful investigation of Benjamin DTsraeli's political
life will most certainly prove its soundness.
From the day (June 3, 1832) when he deceived
Joseph Hume and Daniel O'Connel into the writing
of letters approving and recommending him to the
electors as a Radical candidate for the representation

of

High Wycombe, until the last general election in

such as is quite unexampled in modern times. History
has constructed for this man a pillory, although at
present he stands rewarded with a trumpery Coronet
and a lady's Garter. O'Connel's brand, placed there in
1835, still stands, for those who have eyes to see, upon

in his speeches of that memorable time, preserved in
that Parliamentary record which is D'Israeli's pillory?
His subsequent abuse and misrepresentation of
Earl Russell, Mr. Gladstone, and a host of noble men
who have led the van in all the great measures of reform and progress, is too well known to require more

and the Greek provinces with impunity, as they were

warranted in doing by the Koran, the brutal

Britain did not then protest, nor has she since, that
the Czar was without justification, seeing that the
oppressed Bulgarians and others undoubtedly regarded
him as the head of the Slavonic Race, upon whom the
Turks had exercised their skill in fiendish activity.

by all who valued their lives.

Europe is that store, Disraeli is that boy, and the

key is the Treaty of Berlin.
But we must yet further examine the assurances
in question, and see how the Earl of Beaconsfield has
maintained "the interests and honor of the British

one of these assurances, except the last, I will venture

Yet, though Turkey had defied "the public law of
Europe", had trodden beneath her feet in wholesale
murder the common rights of mankind, and had
broken her "treaty engagements", Beaconsfield refused to take any steps to act with the other powers
and prevent war. The proposal which was made by
Russia and backed by all the other powers, to send
a united fleet up the Constantinople and demand the
reforms in Turkey upon which all were agreed, was
rejected by Beaconsfield; although doubtless, without
firing a shot, such intervention would have accomplished its object and preserved the blessings of peace.

field's policy "has sown the dragon's teeth of future
international strife by the Treaty of Berlin and the
Turkish Convention."
The details of neither document have had time to
reach us, but already we hear an angry tide of discontent, indignation and alarm. Passing over all the
dangers which that Treaty has created in Europe, to
which I have already briefly alluded, it must be evident that the British occupation of Cyprus, the exposure by the Earl of Derby of the unscrupulous design
upon Egypt meditated by Beaconsfield, and the awful
responsibility which Britain undertakes by the semiprotectorate of Turkey in general, and Armenia in
particular, constitute unavoidable dangers of a most
serious nature.
It brings Great Britain, for the first
time in its history, face to face with Russia upon a

which ended in civil war, and in the loss to a foolish

But this precedent is especially dangerous to the

most sacred liberties of every province of the Empire.
Let it be remembered that those native troops
which have been sent into the Mediterranean from
India were raised for the defense of British India and
that they have been maintained by means of taxes
levied upon the people of that territory. Now it is for
a similar purpose that our Permanent Defense Forces
have been raised, and they are maintained precisely in
the same way. Then, if the British Cabinet can by a
stroke of the pen remove the Indian Army to fight
Great Britain's battles in Europe, what is to hinder
them from overriding all local authorities here, and
removing our Defense Force to fight in China or any
where else? And, if the reply is, that such an attempt

Every one was hopeful, apparently but we little
knew what a trial was in store.
We entered into our new home, from whence I
write this, on the day before my birthday and I
preached on the next day for the first time in the
Masonic Hall. We were waiting daily to hear that you
had concluded the arrangement with the bank, and
were keeping our expenditure well within our income,

In the midst of these dark days, without a word of

time when we needed it most. But I felt that I dared
not go back, and relying upon the collection, I determined, after receiving your telegram of June 10th with

then came the struggle to live, and yet go on with the

At first it seemed as if they could not do what was

mysterious providential aid was received by new conversions, and at last on August 17th a strong Committee was again formed, a capital business man as

We have all been

Masonic Hall than we were with the great audiences

Oh no, they are on friendly terms with him, and

faithful man since has found the same.
I can say
truly that fear has never influenced me largely at any
time; and I will not allow it just now. Paul once
wrote to his friends at Corinth: "But I will tarry
at Ephesus until pentecost, for a great door and effectual is opened unto me, and there are many ad-

versaries."

And I will, by God's gracious help, tarry here as

long as the Lord wills it; and since I may like Paul
measure my opportunity by my difficulty, as a high
tower may be measured by its shadow, then I can
truly say "a great door and effectual is opened unto
me", for no one can doubt the fact that "there are
many adversaries".

The work is His. He knows I do fully consecrate

myself to His service.
He knows I did not incur this heavy financial
burden by my own wilful extravagance, and that much,
if not all of it, is a fair charge against the work.
He will not suffer me to be put to shame; nor do
I feel He desires the matter longer now to rest upon
my heart and cripple my energies. This is His matter,
and I leave Him to deal with you, my dear father, convinced that He will guide you, however it may be, or
will permit what happens.
But it must be arranged
now. These delays are great hindrances to me, for I
need not tell you that the incessant toil of brain and
heart in my work are quite as much as I can well bear,
without the added burden of this confused
money
matter.

For over two and three-quarter years I have toiled

on without a pause, and thank God I am in fairly good
health.
But I cannot tamper with myself, just now
especially. Occasionally, when worried, I suffer from
a peculiar and painful sickness, which Dr. Neild tells
me is cerebro-spinal, and caused by an undue exitement of the brain, and I vomit a pure and sometimes
frothy water at such times, with all the feelings of
seasickness. I do not get over it for an hour or two
at least.
But I never have it with mere work to any

There is no true "honour" but that which "cometh

from above", nor any "nobility" but the aristocracy
of grace.
How few men seem really to believe this,
and whilst they profess to despise mere worldly
applause who name Christ's name and say they glory
in the Cross and its attendant shame, yet even of these
there are few who are not seekers of human honours
and worldly applause.

Our audiences have often filled the theatre to its

utmost capacity with even the standing room occupied,
and I think that for the last thirty Sundays our average has been fully 1000. We have written 20 tracts
and printed and distributed 200,750 copies thousands
of which have been sent to all parts of the Colony,
to other Colonies of Australia and to many lands.
The results of this preaching God alone knows and
only eternity will disclose, but we have been privileged
constantly to see results to some little extent, and I
do not know of a single fruitless service in the theatre,
or a tract from which some good has not come. Were

humanly speaking, the task has always

been too great for me, and I gladly acknowledge that

only God's own power could have sustained me and
made me thus useful to many and to God, therefore, I very sincerely give the glory.
But it is a satisfaction full of cheer that should the work cease tomorrow, it will not be that my work has been unsuccessful
in every sense as a preacher, but because it has not
been financially supported as it ought to have been.
Yet that reproach would fall upon others, not on me.
My hope is, though, that it is being wiped away, and
that God will carry the work through, and not let such
reproach fall upon any. Now, even one year and eight
months have proved my part of it, and I look back and

to wonder and ponder; He has defeated my
and disappointed their evil desires and predictions He has encouraged the drooping hearts of some
whose faith had well nigh failed; He has rilled with
alarm and fear the souls of evil men and evil spirits,
who would fain have destroyed me long ago He has
opened up before me such far reaching harvest fields
of labour, and filled me with such desires, and supplied me with such powers to do good, that I am sometimes lost in wonder, love and praise, as I see all His
mercies, which form so glorious a crown to His goodness.
How can I praise Him, my tongue cannot
find words to express my imperfect conceptions of His
great grace to me in all my past, in all my present, and
in all I hope, by His grace, to be and do

make men
foes

Sometimes my inexpressible thoughts of God's

goodness and care for one so unworthy as I am fill me
with awe, and a deep sense of responsibility, lest I
should prove unable or unstable, and so bring reproach
upon the glorious name I bear as the redeemed and
regenerated object of Jesus' love and power.

For I am utterly weak in myself neither body,

nor mind, nor spirit are strong enough to bear or do
His will, unless He strengthened me at every point,
in every moment of my life. I lean, then, and I desire
now and ever to do so, upon Him "Who not in vain
experienced every human pain," and there I find it
true that His strength is made perfect in my weakness,
and His grace is sufficient for me.

The

and of golden opportunities too; but I need prayer

from praying hearts on earth who love me well and
who can tell how much I owe, under God, to the faithful prayers of humanly obscure but divinely powerful
souls, who have unceasingly prayed for me since I
came into this city, alone in a human sense, to do
battle for the Lord?

I do not envy the polluted mind from whence such
evil thoughts and words could flow, nor the sublime
compound of impudence, ignorance, and peerless
egotism which shines in every sentence of these productions, in which there does not throb one feeling
of love to God or man, nor one single word which recognizes the dignity and glory of self-denying service

have called Christ a fool for not making friends with

return to the heart from whence they came out, no

loathsome, stinking, slimy reptiles with poison fangs,
which coil themselves around the soul which produced
them. God have mercy upon the liar, for he burns in
the unquenchable fire which falsehood kindles and
which only eternal love can supplant!

and hindered my work more than all my difficulties
put together; and if men generally had dealt with me
in anything like the same spirit, I must have failed
long ago. There is not one kind word of encouragement, or of hope, in all his writing. Had I been
living the life of an abandoned prodigal, he could not
have employed harsher terms of reproach. He classes
me with those who "have denied the faith and are
worse than infidels;" he tells me that I have incurred
God's curse by bringing to Him robbery for a burnt
offering; he declares to me "your" (that is, my) "conduct has been simply disgraceful ;" he says I have

I will not go further back, at present, than the beginning of this year, on the first Sunday of which I
preached my first sermon in the Masonic Hall, where
for seven months I had preached, under circumstances
I venture to say of such keen trial as few men are
called upon to pass through.
God alone knows my
temptations and distress during that time. It was one
unbroken period of faith endurance there were few

sunny days, and there were protracted drouths, as it

were, mingled with dark nights of tempest, when
we must have gone under had not Christ been in the
vessel. The place was a most unsuitable one, and that
alone greatly damaged the work. But I dare not just
now attempt a history of that time which I now see
was most blessed to my own soul, and which most
thoroughly sifted my people. I do not complain of
one single grief or sorrow the Lord permitted me, in
His unerring love and wisdom to me; for they have
all been blessings in disguise, or have been overruled

for

my

good, without a single exception.

Does it look like failure, or does it look like something very different, even from a temporal point of
view? Of course, I do not expect that it will please
my traducer, even though it is the Lord's doings; for
I fear that he imagines God's way of dealing with me
could be greatly improved upon, if application for
advice were only made to him. But I believe in "the
Lord's doing" infinitely better for me, than if I "lean
on no one," or "trust entirely in my own energies and
good management." In fact, I have such confidence
in the Lord, even "in money matters," O mine enemy,

Eventually he came to

sent for several days to prison because he could not

Court. After this he drank harder than ever, and at
last, feeling very ill, he wandered away out into the
country, until he reached the foot of the Blue Mountains, then a fearful time followed, for he was in the
awful grip of delirium tremens. Wandering into the

employment, he became very despondent. He had
had very little food, and had only four pence left and
was utterly without hope. As he wandered through
the streets one of our young men accosted him and
gave him one of our handbills and got him to promise
to come to the service. But, when he came to the door
his heart failed him, and he was shrinking back, when
he heard my voice, and some words fell on his ear,
and into his heart, which caused him to go in at once.
Everything seemed intended for him. Old memories
of a Christian home in Glasgow were awakened, and
new thoughts, too, in his despairing heart, and ere the
sermon had closed, he had given his heart to God.
Deeply moved, he went out with the crowd. As he
approached the door he saw the collection plate, and
was regretting his poverty, when suddenly he remembered that he had four pence left. He put the four
pennies in the plate, and passed out into the night,
knowing that he would need to sleep in the streets or
in the park.
But he scarcely slept at all, he prayed
a good deal, and asked as a token of mercy that he
might get work the next day. The morning came.
He got work early that day, and since then more
than a month he has procured decent clothes, I have
had long conversations with him, and dressed so
respectably, with a pleasant countenance, and calm
manner, it is difficult to imagine him as he has been,
until you hear him speak of his past, when the tremor
of his speech and the emotion which fills his eyes with
tears, shows you how he has sinned and suffered.

The Theatre is situated in the very center of

turn and go in. I shall keep on, therefore, writing a

way at my "fanaticism" concerning the

Liquor Traffic and Intemperance; its evening "Echo"
would virulently stab at me through its "Funny Man"
in its "Zigzag Papers" column, where roundabout lies
abound on every subject; the vile sheet called the
"Evening News" would follow suit, a paper which
feeds on garbage and exists to glorify vice and liquordom generally; and then the new paper, "The Daily
Telegraph", must needs have its little fling, to please
its pro-liquor editor and proprietors.
And now, my
friend, you must see it would never do to begin attempting to fight these valiant "we" people on their
own midden heaps for there would be nothing gained
worth the effort, nor would I be wiser in pursuing
these critical flesh flies into their malodoring dens.
In this city I leave my daily life and work to answer
these cowardly anonymous persons, but it is a different matter when they cross to your city, where my
work is less known, and endeavour to needlessly
blacken me to a people among whom I lived without
reproach for nearly one fourth of my life, and where
slanders against me are but cruel wounds to the hearts
of my nearest kindred who have lived in your city
for twenty years.
For their sakes, principally, I feel
it my painful duty to make an example of "Spectator",
and since I shall need to speak of myself and my affairs in doing so, let me ask you and your readers
to do me the justice to keep in mind two facts, first, that
I do not willingly write concerning myself, but of necessity imposed upon by my traducer; and, second,

Now let me proceed to my unpleasant task of unmasking this nameless slanderer, and disproving his
false assertions.

"Spectator" denies the accuracy of a paragraph

concerning me in your issue of December 12th, and
boldly asserts, "Mr. I}owie's work in Sydney has virtually collapsed."

During my short stay of five days in Adelaide, I
did not see you or any one connected with the paper,
and neither sought nor inspired the paragraph, and
first saw it after my return to Sydney.
The principal portion of your paragraph concerning my work here was quoted from another paper, and
was written entirely without my previous knowledge
by its able and well known editor who resides in Sydney, who has attended the services in Victoria Theatre

I challenge "Spectator" to prove a word in the paragraph to be either false or exaggerated, and I further
demand that he will not sneak behind the coward's
cloak of anonymity, but write boldly under his real
name.
Not content with disputing the truth of the paragraph he propounds his first false assertion that my

place was comfortably filled on that first Sabbath

Hall almost unknown, for it has not been finished a
month, and it was only advertised the previous day.
Last Sunday I preached there to a large audience,
and had what I fear "Spectator" cannot appreciate, the
joy of being followed to my home by enquirers, who
are asking with tears, "What must I do to be saved"?
So far as man can judge, many received the blessing
they acknowledged to have desired. I was delighted

Lord gathered around me devoted friends and larger
congregations than any I had ever preached to before
for over four years in Sydney.
The work has gone on ever since without the intermission of a single Sabbath service, excepting the
month's rest which it was agreed I should take in
December, and during that period my fellow workers
met together every week, and kept up their contributions.

Eternity alone will declare the results of these two
years of unremitting and delightful work.
But of
what has been apparent, I may be allowed to speak,
and tell, to the glory of God alone, from Whom the
power and blessing came, some of the work done and
its results.

Severe trials, disappointments, and temptations I

have had and do experience but these are what I expect. True, they have been severe, and sometimes of a
kind unexpected, but I have not murmured, nor will I
murmur at that. I humbly hope I have learned that
God's will is always best; and my confidence that His
love has never permitted aught but what was for my
highest good, and that of those whose welfare I sought,
has been my constant strength and joy.

These were printed, with an invitation to each Sunday's services on the other side, and a weekly average

Saturdays and Sundays. A total number of 210,750

direct appeals to the heart and conscience to accept
God's gift of pardon, peace and life in Christ under
various titles, 79,250 were connected with the evils of
intemperance and kindred social evils, and 42,000
were addressed to Roman Catholics especially and set
before them the errors and evil designs of Rome, with
particular reference to the pastorals of the Archbishop
and Bishops of the Church of Rome.
Two pamphlets of 2,000 each edition were written
and printed, and that entitled "The Drama, the Press
and the Pulpit" has been widely read, and a very
large number of a reply to Dr. Vaughan, entitled
"Rome's Polluted Springs" have been read by persons
who were connected with the Church of Rome when
they first read them and are now Protestant Christians.
Lectures and addresses on many subjects were delivered during the week in various Halls, and I have
repeatedly been chosen spokesman to successive
Premiers with a view to induce Governments to introduce a reform of the Liquor licensing laws and Sunday closing of public houses not without good result.

do I recognize the noble help and prayerful sympathy
of my devoted fellow servants of the Lord in this work
as the secret spring of many a soul being won from
sin in my ministry, and I do wish again to most
humbly acknowledge all the blessing is from the Lord.

I am poorer through my ministry, I am no more disposed to write "failure" upon it, and abandon it on that
account, than I am to brand Paul, John Bunyan, or
John Wesley as "failures" because they cared more
for the souls of Christ's sheep than for their golden
fleeces.
But it would be a shame to me were I to
allow the Mission to be branded "an utter failure
pecuniarily". More money has been raised and spent
upon it during the two years than was raised and
spent in actual work, apart from ministerial salary,
in any church of which I know in Sydney

actual sum paid to defray the Mission expenses, apart
from anything to me, has averaged nearly 10 pounds

no appeals for aid outside the circle of our immediate

hearers, the outside help has been a trifle, comparatively.
I have a shrewd suspicion that "Spectator"
knows nothing about the matter, except from idle gossip, for which I am a fair target, and I think it very
probable that, notwithstanding even he admits we have
done "some good", he has been "no good" pecuniarily

and has been often repeated by
him and others, doubtless in the hope that the fact
might be so. This is a fair specimen of much of the
pretended Christian charity with which my work is
regarded by many denominationalists, whose churches are doubtless pecuniary successes, but at the same
time huge spiritual failures, offensive in their pride,
laziness and worldliness, both to God and man.
"Spectator" may yet be found to be one of the "greedy
shepherds who feed themselves", with whom I am no
favorite, you may be sure.
And now in a word, I desire to say this that come

One of the clearest signs that I ought to continue here

clear proof that the great Adversary does not like me,

Now, even whilst you were printing his letter, we

had just entered upon a building erected for the purpose, although not by us.
Two newly built Halls
were offered to us, and if they had not offered, let me
tell "Spectator" that in all likelihood we would have
leased a central block of land, and built a large, temporary building thereon at once. But when the Lord
had built us a central and fairly suitable place, we did
not need to face the larger undertaking until we were
stronger.
By God's bessing, we shall ere long
erect our Free Christian Tabernacle, which faith has
long planned, and I do not despair of seeing this poor
despiser a wondering "Spectator" in that House of

trouble with his Department, through a series of
blunders, if not crimes, which led to his suspension and

that he committed himself while suffering from mental
abberation, and that he did not intend to commit a
crime or wrong the Government of a penny.
This view of the case I have induced the Minister
for Public Works to take, who is the head of the young
man's Department, and I think my letter, which dealt
at great length and most exhaustively with the whole
subject, will induce the Hon. R. Wisdom to take the
same view. In fact, he did so unofficially through my
conversations with him in his office. The members

Every minute I expect to hear the bell ring and the

your safe arrival in Adelaide. Day and night I have
besought the Lord to take you safely there and to
strengthen you in body and soul. I expect a gracious
answer for I am sure that the Lord has preserved you
for His own gracious purposes, and these will, it seems
to me, be best fulfilled by your life being spared. "The
fields are white unto the harvest," and ere your day
declines and the sun of this life be set, you may labor
with me to bring in and fill with Purity and Peace and
Joy those who are weary amidst the world's mad, mocking mirth, and groaning amidst the unrest, the uncleanness, and the sorrows of sin in the city and throughout
the otherwise beautiful land. I want to have you with
me to say to the wanderer: "Come in!" and then to
seat them at the Banquet of Love. I want to see your
hands spread the first communion table in our new
Tabernacle, which the eyes of faith often see. Last
night, or rather this morning, I dreamed that I was
passing, a stranger in the city, through the streets,
when I came to a large, well lighted, comfortable, even
cheerful looking building. The brilliant light from the
street lit up the whole front, and above the wide doorway on a white marble slab, I saw, carved in large
letters which shone like gold, the words "Have Faith
in God".
I entered the door, thrilled to my heart by
these words, and saw a sight which stirred my soul
with deep emotion. The building was full tier upon
tier the seats rose upon every side, from the platform
down to the farthest end of the building. Every eye
was turned toward and every ear was listening to the
speaker, who was saying, "O my beloved, believe me,
God is Love !" And above the speaker's head, on a

My

first meeting was a great success and gave me a

unanimous vote on the evening of the day I arrived
at Adelaide.
The next evening I had a splendid
hearing at my principal address in the Temperance
Hall and a unanimous vote.
That night I sat up and finished my address to the
electors, which was published in the paper of the next
day and in the "Herald" and "Telegraph" of Monday
and Tuesday. Ten thousand copies of it were printed.
It did me a lot of good, and every one seemed to have
a good word to say for it. The meetings on Saturday
were splendid I had three and had unanimous
votes. When the week closed I had addressed about
six thousand persons.
The Renwick party were in a
dreadful scare.
But Saturday night brought them
their opportunity, and the unprincipled rogues began
their game on the husting.
A very influential deputation from Renwick's
Committee sought an interview with me. Dibbs, an
influential merchant, was spokesman.
He began by
praising my address, and said, "We know you are the

They asked me what I meant. I replied, "If you tell
the truth, I am in your opinion the best man. Then
why ask me to retire ? Gentlemen, the best man, whoever he may be, should go into the House go and
ask the next best to retire; and like honest men give
your votes. But whatever you do, say no more to me
about paying my expenses that means dishonour, it
means bribery to my mind." I had them fairly in a

THE PEESONAL LETTEKS OF JOHN ALEXANDER DOWIE
Allum, the Treasurer, and Hutchins, the Chairman of
the Committee, were offered 100 pounds each, they
said, to get me to give up and on the Tuesday evening
four members of my Committee were told that if I
would retire the very evening before the election
a check for 500 pounds would be forth-coming. This
was looked upon as trickery, or bribery, and rejected,
of course, by them.
But it shows how they feared me. Do you imagine
that I had "no chance at the beginning" when this
was their conduct on the very eve of the election?
What I tell you are indisputable facts. But they
played their cards well that evening and gained an
important point at a meeting of the Orange Institution,
whose great lodge, it appears now, had pledged themselves to Renwick before my return; and false friends
stood up and said that though they had the highest
opinion of me, and under other circumstances would
have supported me, they advised Temperance men and
Protestants not to vote for me but for Renwick, saying that Renwick was right in his views with both

clearly that he would approve of reducing present

consumers, thereby increasing the quantity consumed,

And now, having given you this long account of
Renwick and how I was defeated for East Sydney, I
return to tell you how that defeat has affected the work
in which I am engaged for Christ, or rather its influence upon my fellow workers and upon my personal
affairs.
The "work" cannot be affected for permanent
injury by anything except sin, and I do not believe I
sinned in standing for East Sydney.
However, the
effect upon the workers is another matter, and this has
to

This would have been all very well had it not been for
two facts, the first of which they should have suspected
and ferreted out, and the other was plain enough for
those on the spot to see. These were, the fact that the
leaders of the Secret Societies were pledged to vote
for Renwick before I appeared on the field, and also
this fact, that he had made most extraordinary progress

But the very next day, Tuesday, the day I left, the
announcement was made in the evening papers of Mr.
Alexander Stewart's resignation, and therefore, that
East Sydney was vacant. The idea of my candidature
immediately seized a number of the men on my Mission Committee who, finding that a good many outside
were thinking the same way, seemed to me to have
been suddenly seized with the idea that my election
for East Sydney would be a short cut to success for our
Mission, and save the trouble of organizing in my
absence. Indeed, both Allum and Hutchinson said as
much to me, when I returned. Consequently my Committee and friends threw themselves into the election
contest, to the utter disregard of our arrangements.
Indeed it could scarce be otherwise if they were to
work for my election and that I do not blame. What
I feel about the matter is that their desire to get success by a short cut blinded them to two things, first,

whether the cause be not in myself; but, though it
would be of course, untrue and absurd in me to
say that I am wholly without blame in my work or
methods, I do find myself compelled to conclude that it
generally arises from some prejudice against some
unwelcome truth, or from mere love of change and

Will you pray especially for me in this matter? We
want the Lord to send us some of His silver and gold.
He can do it quickly, and I am sure He will, if we are
faithful in seeking it from Him alone, if we desire to
use it only for His glory, and if the time has come for
Him to entrust us with it for this purpose. Surely we
have now come to the place where we should say, "Let
us build a house for the Lord." Surely we shall have
grace to be faithful and unselfish. I really do think
we are ready, or nearly so, to "go forward", exercising
faith, in this matter.
From this day, I intend to spend
half an hour daily in prayer for the Tabernacle for the
Lord, until He grant me the desire of my heart,

upon a stone above its central doorway this inscription
"Have faith in God." Now do join me in this
matter, and tell me how you are impressed concerning
it.
Remember, it is to give a half an hour each day to
this matter alone. We shall not ask without receiving.
And now I must draw this letter to a close for I do
not wish to be any longer silent. Write me very soon,

concerning the five pounds you were good enough to

cannot at present send it to you. I advanced to my
Election Committee all the money I had in hand, and
never got a penny of it back again, although I hope
I yet will.
Then the unexpected cost of the overland

I have lately had, has made me to be not only short

want of it. I hope, however, to be able to send it to

him after service. On Monday morning my father came
into the room with a letter in his hand which he flung
down before on the table, "Read that !"
It was a letter from Mr. H
and was certainly a very
strange production, and a fitting climax to those
which had gone before. It seems someone had written
sions of

291

THE PEESONAL LETTEES OF JOHN ALEXANDEE DOWIE

from Australia (father volunteered the information
it was not him and was sure it was not A
and
if the one is as sure as the other, then neither assurance is reliable) this "someone" had written last November saying that I had stated to many persons that
he (Mr. H ) was quite unfit to do anything for himself and that I would require to go home and do
everything for him, etc. all which you know is quite
as true as the other fact which someone sent him,
namely, that I had gone to Melbourne to plead for the
life of the bush ranger, Ned Kelley.
But, believing
at once this malicious invention of someone, and apparently forgetting everything he ought to have remembered just at that moment of numberless lies
which he knew to have been invented concerning me,
he writes in a most angry and I must say foolish

requested him not to write to me, to which he has

agreed, and that he is coming out to Australia by the

"Cotopaxi" which leaves England (or has left now)

on February 5th.
This is a fair summary of his letter and is the
strongest proof (if he is, as I will still hope and believe,

an honest man) that he has been for a long time continuously subjected to a stream of evil influences.
The only other conclusion is that he is a rogue and a
fool, which I will refuse to believe unless it is proved

beyond a doubt.
But will your ears, or eyes, credit what I am now
going to tell you? When father saw I had finished
the letter I looked on his face, and there was a smile
of quiet satisfaction.

"How dare you say that, you mean, contemptible

I answered, " 'Tis not I who am mean and contemptible, but the man who could use such words and

"I do deny saying them," he

said.

"Oh, your answer is a mere quibble," I said; "but

you used words conveying the same meaning, I am
sure and I tell you more you hope he will live now,
and that you and A can do better without me; A
knows he has nothing to hope for now if the money
should ever come to me, and you fear you won't get
so much from me, if it does, as you might, and therein
you are quite right. Hence you are anxious to get
me out of the way. But I should not wonder if you
were terribly disappointed yet: for see him I will, if I
live, when he arrives, and unless he is another man
than my old friend and brother, he will not allow baseless lies to alter his affection and purposes.
But he
can do what he pleases. He is a free agent, and I
never did aught to bind him, and never will. And
but for the good it might do in my hands I could
curse the money, and wish none of it might ever come
to Australia, and perhaps that will be the end of it:
for God sees what a curse it has already been to you
and A even in anticipation, and what a heart break
it is to me."
With these words, or similar, I have tried faithfully to preserve and record this conversation
I left
him. That was on Monday forenoon. I am now writing these words on Wednesday night. But we have
never uttered even one word to each other since, although living in the same house. We, by mutual consent I suppose, avoid each other; never eat together;
and in short keep entirely apart. My dear mother
is most kind and very wise.
She sees the trouble is
too deep for her to meddle, and so she just quietly
goes about her work, and is very good to me but says
nothing. Of course this state of affairs is most unnatural, and cannot long continue.
But I leave it
with the Lord. He only can put things straight.

To them it is not merely a temporal loss but a

not a reason for keeping their hearts from God, but
an awful reason for fleeing from sin and Satan which,
this wretched man proves, can tie a soul hand and foot,
and cast him into a living hell, even on earth.

They frequently had a good deal of ready money,

which they used freely, sometimes renting for a period

Derbyshire took place. There are many strange things
in this story, also, to which I can make no allusions

and even bankers who were deceived would require to

through Him, the Ressurrection and the Life.
The
other, with all the cupids, is for you.

Christian man, was quietly walking up and down the

The word was quite inadequate for I was almost frenzied with Divinely imparted anger and hatred of that foul destroyer. Disease, which was doing Satan's will.
"It is not so," I
exclaimed, "no will of God sends such cruelty, and I
shall never say 'God's will be done' to Satan's works,
which God's own Son came to destroy, and this is one
of them." Oh, how the Word of God was burning in
my heart "Jesus of Nazareth went about doing good,
and healing all that were oppressed of the devil; for
God was with him". And was not God with me? and
was not Jesus there and all His promises true? I felt
that it was even so, and turning to the mother I inquired,, "Why did you send for me?" To which she
answered, "Do pray, oh pray for her that God may
raise up." And so we prayed.
What did I say? It
may be that I cannot now recall the words without
mistake, but words are in themselves of small importance. The prayer of faith may be a voiceless prayer,
a simple heartfelt look of confidence into the face of
Christ.
At such a moment words are few, but they
mean much, for God is looking at the heart. Still,
I can remember much of that prayer unto this day, and
asking God to aid I will endeavor to recall it. I cried

And, lo, the maid lay still in sleep, so deep and

sweet that the mother said in a low whisper, "Is she
dead?" "No," I answered in a whisper lower still,
"Mary will live, the fever has gone. She is perfectly
well and sleeping as an infant sleeps."
Smoothing
the long dark hair from her now peaceful brow, and
feeling the steady pulsation of her heart and cool,
moist hands, I saw that Christ had heard and that once
more, as long ago in Peter's house, "He touched her
and the fever left her." Turning to the nurse I said,
"Get me at once, please, a cup of cocoa and several
slices of bread and butter."
Beside the sleeping maid
we sat quietly and almost silently until the nurse returned, and then I bent over her and snapping my fingers said, "Mary!" Instantly she woke, smiled and
said, "Oh, sir, when did you come?
I have slept so
long;" then stretching out her arms to meet her mother's embrace, she said, "Mother, I feel so well." "And
hungry, too?" I said, pouring some of the cocoa in a
saucer and offering it to her when cooled by my breath.

my little "Angel," whose
spirit quietly stole away just as the day was dawning
on Lord's Day morning last. I can scarcely realize
it yet: for it was so sudden and unexpected; but I
bow, with my dear wife, in resignation, though in
grief, and say "It is the Lord, let Him do what
seemeth Him good."
When we returned this day week from Sydney, we
found Gladdy almost entirely recovered, and our two
little daughters apparently well
our little Jeanie the
"Angel" being especially delighted to see us, clasping us around the neck and kissing us again and again.
The following day, Friday, she was toddling about
the house, stronger, as we thought, than ever we had
seen her, and our hearts were glad to look upon her
sweet, pure face and happy smile. That evening, however, we noticed one or two little spots which looked
like measles on her face, and the following day, SaturI

John, and look at Jeanie's eyes." I immediately went
over, and saw she was insensible and in a fit. I took

she was by that time in strong convulsions. I then
carried her into her own room, and kneeling down
with her alone, besought the Lord again for her that
the fit might cease and it seemed almost as if a voice
replied, "Yes, the fit will cease; but the Lord will
take her now."
I then called Mrs. Dowie, and told her of the
answer, and shortly after the fit did cease, and our

from 2 Samuel, 12:23 "But now she is dead, wherefore should I fast?

But "none of these things move me;" for doing

God's will is more than life to me. Last night there
were violent knocks and then stones thrown at our
front door, and when I went to the door the persons
who had done it stood a little distance off, and shouted
forth a volley of oaths and threats and obscene curses
and then ran away as I moved towards them. It
was late, then; but my duty took me out a half an

took "the nearest way to the Celestial Gate." But
there is much good work to do here; and if it be

was

tried before four magistrates, Messrs.

Robb, (chairman) Cowie, Rowe, and Best.

The Town Clerk and Mayor having given formal
evidence as to Bye-laws, and no permission having been
asked or obtained, I, in cross examination, elicited from
both the fact that I had on Tuesday evening, March 3,
attended a meeting of the Council at which I had shown
cause why the Bye-law should not be confirmed, and
had declared that, as I conscientiously believed it to
be ultra vires, and a direct infringment of my civil
rights, and an attack upon my religious liberty and
conviction of duty, it would, in the event of its passing,
become my duty, and that of many others, to meet it
"with the most determined passive resistance" within
our power.
The plaintiff (a constable named Cameron) then
proved the alleged offence, and admitted that the procession was orderly and caused no obstruction to traffic, nor had he ever seen or heard of any of our processions being otherwise.
Mr. Lewis (plaintiff's solicitor) then said that was
his case; and resting upon the decisions in the cases
of Rider V. Phillips, and Bannon V. Barker, (Law Reports for 1884) he claimed that the magistrates

way; (3) that I did so not for any private gain, nor
from any wilful desire to come into collision with the
municipal authorities, but to do good to my fellow
men, in obedience to distinct commands of Scripture
(See Luke 14:21, Mark 16 etc); (4) that I had done
so in this city for more than two years previously without interference or complaint; and that, for more than
thirty years, I had taken part in similar work, in many
parts of Great Britain and the Australian colonies (5)
that the Bye-law, therefore, had created a crime, of that
which had never been attempted to be shown to be a
crime; and (6) that for reasons which I would then
give, I held the Bye-law to be ultra vires.
Here I was again interrupted by Mr. Lyons; and I
again claimed the protection of the Bench, who were
most evidently not in sympathy with me.
The chairman here said that it was not within their
power to hold the Bye-law to be ultra vires, in the face
of the decision quoted by the plaintiff's solicitor.
I contended it was within their power to do so, if
I was fortunate enough to convince them by the arguments that I was about to adduce and I went on to
say that Lord Chief Justice Coleridge had decided upon
appeal from the magistrates of Hastings, England, that
a similar Bye-law was ultra vires; that the Hon. W. B.
Dalley, Attorney General of New So. Wales, had last
year given a similar opinion, in consequence of which
religious street processions are, at the present moment,
protected in Sydney, Newcastle etc., and that recently,
the Court of Appeal, in Adelaide, South Australia, had
upon appeal from the magistrates of Kapunda and

out of their houses,

amongst them the Fire Brigade people near; but seeing no fire or smoke they could not tell where it had

happened. When our caretaker opened the place for

the meetings today she found my room a wreck.
The flooring boards beneath had been broken and
had smashed in the drawer of my writing table; my
chair had been thrown up to the roof and was lying
with the other chairs in a confused heap and had
I been sitting there, it is very likely I would have
been in heaven ere this. The side walls were partly
blown out, some of the planks being broken into small
fragments, and generally the room is damaged throughout, the window sill being partly torn out.
It was
my intention to have remained in my room until past

to ten, I asked four who were waiting if it would be
equally convenient to see me this evening, and as
they said "yes," I went home, for I felt weary an
unprecedented thing for me to do.
All day, however, I had felt the shadow of death
around me, and I had actually filled up, for the first
time in my life, a proposal for Life Assurance, telling
Mrs. Dowie that I felt well but had a feeling that I

and that Mother
Church, has manifested its
Satanic character by joining hands with its sister impostor, Modern Spiritualism, in showing mysterious
power, and signs, and lying wonders. It ill become Protestants and evangelical Christians to confound the
permanent "gifts of healing in the one Spirit" which
our Lord promised to give His true Church with the
magnetic, mesmeric, and psychopathic mockeries of
ancient and modern heathenism, by whatever name
that heathenism may be disguised.

people fools and seriously injuring them, by the way,

of God, we have been able to make the opposite tolerably plain to all who know us, and who know our past

seem incredible that John, "the disciple whom Jesus

Then should I wonder if I
also suffer from such a person? But they are not of

I have gone out entirely without financial resources,
and have undertaken work which has cost me ten
times any ordinary minister's salary every year. But
"he who excuses, accuses," so says the French proverb, and so I will not excuse my course of life and
ministry, neither can I expect others to understand
it, since they have no knowledge of the inner as well
as the outer facts which vindicate that course. I have

learned to leave personal vindications with the Lord,

and

never defend myself against the countless

tacks which have appeared against

me

having only written once to a newspaper in five years

to correct misrepresentations.
I have defended the
truth committed to my charge, but at no time have I
ever cared to defend myself as a personal matter. God
is my Judge. He never makes mistakes, and He corrects all the false, and mistaken, judgments of men.

me as its pastor from its formation by myself, in February, 1883. It was no little grief to part from the dear

and after long meetings for prayer, one an all-night

with Jesus, both amongst the office-bearers and the
people, a resolution, amidst many tears was unanimously passed on the evening of November 4, 1887,
agreeing to accept my resignation, with expressions of
loving regard similar to those afterwards embodied
in an address hereafter referred to, but requesting that
I should not retire for at least three months.
Accordingly, I yielded to their wish, and my resignation,
although accepted, was arranged not to take effect
until February 19, 1888, on which date I announced
I would preach my farewell sermons.

seventy testimonies from those healed, taken down
at the moment by a shorthand writer on the staff of
one of the Melbourne morning daily newspapers, whose

On Lord's Day, February 19th last, just five years

from the date of my forming the Church in the Fitzroy

glorious of all the Church's memorial services, looking backward to the Cross, looking upward to the
Throne, and looking forward to the Blessed Hope of
His Coming. Oh, how sweet and rich in heavenly

be given to us of still deeper and sweeter communion
with the Lord and our dear people there.
The next few days were largely spent in all the
many duties and toils inseparable from the private
affairs of this life, in disposing of our few worldly
goods, "in doing things honestly in the sight of all
men," and in preparing Our Little Pilgrim Band of
Five for our long journeys and voyages. I may be
permitted here to say that our two little ones accompany us on our travels, my son aged 11 years, and my
daughter aged 7, and I would earnestly ask the
prayers of all our friends in Christ everywhere for
these dear children, and that we may be enabled to
educate and train them up "in the admonition and
fear of the Lord," amidst the many special difficulties
which will attend this important duty. We felt it

wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament;
and they that turn many to righteousness as the stars
for ever and ever." And we were comforted: for the
way of wisdom was lying clearly before us, and we
knew our Guide, the unerring Spirit of God, would
lead us in the steps of Him who sang the hymn and
went forth to open the way of Salvation and Temperance, of Healing and Holiness to all who will trust
and follow Him. All was peace, and the night soon
passed away.
At mid-day on Saturday, March 3rd, we went on
board the A. U. S. N. Co.'s S. S. "Maranoa," lying
at Queen's Wharf, on the River Yarra, in the heart
of the city, where we had been so tried and so blessed.
Some hundreds of our friends "accompanied us to the
ship" where we had a precious time of prayer and
praise; and so amidst hymns and tears and blessings
from grateful hearts we sailed away down the river
and the bay, away out into the Ocean hearing the
words, floating on the waters, of our sweet singers as

we

left

the shore

'Beyond the swelling floods

We'll meet to part no more."
In two days we arrived safely in one of the loveliest
of all the earthly heavens I have ever seen the beautiful harbour of Sydney.
The voyage had been very stormy until the morning of our arrival, but when the sun rose upon the
giant cliffs of George's Head, a gentle breeze was beating over the fair face of the deep blue waters, and
scenes of entrancing beauty burst upon our gaze, as
we sailed onward close to the shores of the charm-

ing Illawarra country. The five islands, the pastoral

uplands, the fertile cultured plains, and the mountains

towering over all, with the joyous sea for an everchanging foreground, made a grand picture. Onward

we

sailed past villages

and towns which found fitting

Passing the

place in the ever-changing

southern suburbs of Sydney itself, we sailed close
under the high rocky steeps which front the ocean,
and hide the great city beyond them. Then onward
to the Heads which open out that wondrous channel,
a narrow gateway of divine grandeur, into a harbour
of

surpassing

loveliness

stretching

away

north,

and south on every side for miles into

bays and coves, where it seems as if all the
navies of the world might ride at anchor in
perfect peace. More than one thousand miles of water
frontage lie, I am told, within these Heads.
And
then how wondrous the effects of sun and sea upon
these scenes of beauty which unfold as we pass onwards to the city. The green slopes and smooth lawns
of rich men's homes, embowered amidst trees and
flowers, mingled with views of virgin forest still remaining on the shores, are passed swiftly by as we
thread our way onward past the pretty islands which
are scattered over the lake-like waters. But now the
city flashes forth from every height, crowned to their
summits with houses, the homes and business places of
hundreds of thousands of busy men and women.
Wharves crowded with ships of all nations appear.
Spires and towers and domes of great public buildings
meet the eye in every direction. A great commercial
city is before us, where a hundred years ago the silence
of nature reigned, save for the cries of a few savage
west,

a wondrous transformation.
But our vessel is soon berthed at the Grafton
wharf, and we hear salutations of kind friends greeting
us, who have been watching for our coming.
