Show NEEDN'T SNEER AT DOWIEITES. Probably no other people in the country coun-try have dono so much sneering at the sect called Dowieites as havo those who belong to the dominant church, in Utah. It has not occurred to these people that they havo been and aro now in very much the same position as wcro tho dupes of Dowie. He demanded and collected money from his followers and exponded it as ho pleased, without offering of-fering any accounting. Joseph F, Smith has done and is doing that very thing, tho difference being that he gets nloro cash than Dowio did, and sa's less about what becomes of it. Another thing is that the Dowieites finally woke up, discovered the fact that they wero tho victims of a conscienceless con-scienceless grafter, and practical' kicked the mono3'-changor out of their templo. So it is difficult to sec wherein dupes of tho Mormon titho S3'stem have any laugh on the Dowieites, for they continue to givo up good, hard cash for an indefinite promise of salvation hereafter, aud with every indication that the man who gets their money haif decidedly the best of tho bargain. |
