Dr Dowie.
HIS ARRIVAL AT AUCKLAND
Dr Dowie is a through passenger by the Sonoma. He was welcomed on his arrival by about one hundred adherents. He complained that the captain dropped Sunday from the calendar to make the date right and refused him permission to conduct service on the ship on account of Dr Dowie not being an Episcopalian. He attributed this to the cap ain being a Freemason, which he swore to break as an invention of the devil. Dowie, when interviewed, denied most of the stories by cable from America. The finances of Zion were perfectly stable. They represented half-a-million dollars after the elimination of everything doubtful, and were on a permanent cash basis, jstq power on earth or hell, ue said, would shake the foundations of Zion.. The members and adherents numbered one million, and branches were everywhere, even in Russia. It was intended to establish settlements in Australia, but he did not intend to remove Zion City from America.
