Frank W. Sandford and his "Saints of the Holy Ghost and Us" crusade established the headquarters of their remarkable creed and started the erection of their Temple. When the. first spadeful of earth was turned Sandford's sole capital and equipment was thfeecents, a wheelbarrow,' and a shovel. John Henry Douglass,, whose name is now immor- tallzed amongst Shilohites, gave the 1andof-Ws"hofarm for the site. Other farmers became converted by the young leader, then only eleven years out of college. They gave their time, their labor and their land, and, finally, themselves to "the moveof their as the Shilohites-speament," ' work. "" Slowly a great white Temple, ' the wings serving, the purpose of a dorbrick mitory, was erected, a hospital was" added, and several sprang up,,- " Sandford's original three cents, invested in the "bank of God," as the H.QlTGhtersjvmild say, borejieavy Interest, and now an outlay of $200,-00or more is represented in the buildings on "the hill top." The way in which money has at times poured Into the coffers of the Shilohites has astounded the curious outside world. Sandford's method of securing funds Is to pray. He declares - that God has never yet failed him with money when it was needed. - "The Saints of, Shiloh" say that God " himself .ordered the erection of this Temple and selected Its site; that he furnished the; money with which tq f' build; that each successive stage of construction has been marked by a miracle lnprder that it might be Shown that God was directing; that is after to say, when it seemed.-tim- e tlme, that money and material were nowhere to be had, when it appeared that the work had stopped- for good. " supplies were " promptly furnished through supernatural agencies; The Saints also assert that Shiloh has been commended from on high In many other ways. They claim that one person," Mrsv Olive Mills, died In the Temple and was afterward raised from the dead through the agency of Chief Evangelist Sandford; .that hundreds of persons Jiavebeen healed In Shlloh's hospital "Bettsesda", of all - manner of bodily Infirmities; that demons have been cast ut by the score; that.
