A few weeks ago he y went for the Christchurch papora because e tliov dared to expose some of his alleged it " faith" cures, making use of most of the worst adjectives to be found in the Bible 6 in tho heat of his declamation, The fol- ■® lowing sample, taken from the Times, y will give ciur readers an idea of the class it of gentleman to expect if the Rev.—we )f bo? pardon-Mr Dowio should pay Maait terton a visit. :~Mr Alexander Dowie lectured in Nelson on Wednesday even- | ing laat. In the course of his lecture lie expressed i is opinion nf the local press. 18 When the Chairman had introduced, the s- lecturer, Mr Dowie sa d" The plate ;■ will now be taken round. The Lord bless r- you." He then proceeded to " read tho ie 'press a little lecture," There were Wo papers hero, he said, the edit, rs of which were too lazy to write, but only served 111 up a sort of hash from day to day, One '° of these was the little Evening Wail, ra He did'nt care twopence-no, nor a 9, ponny-whnt it said, thought, or 3. threatened, but treated it with profound to indifference and comtempt, If he were a pressman he would set up hero and knock them both out of time. Pleasantly 111 alluding to'the presence of the" literary *'*• liars" nr tho room, Mr Dowie add the lit " Fvening Wail 1 ' (tho Evening Mail)' had a, deotded to ignore him.' " This was a in truly awful thing, but he thanked God he j B had sur;ived it. A Mr Colin Campbell ,1. had remarked that Mr Dowia had not been ignored that night—the reporters were ® present. " Thank vou," said Mr Dowie, " I do not.know them by sight, but I oan ot generally tell their.faces by the look they to have of pule brandy; I never knew a: •J. reporter who did not stink of brandy or , v tobacco, or boor, or some suoh;beastly ill stuff," He then referred.to the Colonist. God Almighty, he said, would punish it , for its abominable: lying, and if ha was f 1 not a real Christian he would srnaih it jz by serving'it with a writ for libpl—-£^ooo 03 damages, When Mr Dowie had. finished the' Mall "reporter' left the room, the U lecturer calling after'him "Oh, ye gen|j 6 eratio'ii of vipera l"; /' ■ ei Wq faave stock of Men's Boys'; .and Zeajand and Clotilrig and for quality and s 8 prices we have not" Seen anything in the: f B Colony to eqnaHhem, strong^ hi g oheni(at, of ( lttpd see fdftthemseWes.—Advi. ■ tie 4 are tl>e j, v , inntanccscited of tbeaitonißhiflg fecundp'. i/f the various species of domesticated j 1 " fowl'; but tjie celebrated Wellington ..t !
