FOUNDED NEW SECT
JOHN WROE FOUNDER OF CHRIS-
TIAN ISRAELITES.
Had Many Followers, Particularly In
Australia, Many of Whom Still
Believe That He Is
Not Dead.
The alleged bogus burial of the
duke of Portland as Druce makes one
think of John Wroe. He died in Coll-
ingwood, Melbourne, February 5, 1863,
aged 81, and yet some fanatics appear
to believe that he is still alive, inas-
much as he is reported to have said
he would never die.
Johanna Southcott died in 1814,
aged 64. Her followers believed she
would give birth to the Messiah, says
the Imperial Review. Six doctors tes-
tified that they would believe she was
about t° become a mother if she was
young enough. A silvered cradle cost-
ing £200 was prepared for the in-
fant and £100 more was spent in
gold spoons, pap boats and what not.
Wroe was her first principal follow-
er. With her sect as a nucleus he
formed the Christian Israelites. He
preached his doctrines for nearly half
a century throughout Britain, Europe,
America and Australia.
A follower named Stanley gave him
£9,500 with which a temple was
built at Ashton, Eng. Afterward it be-
came a theater. Yet Wroe never suc-
ceeded anywhere so well as in Mel-
bourne. His followers there sub-
scribed and bought him a mansion—
Melbourne house—in Wakefield, Eng.
No portrait was ever takep of him,
as he forbade portraiture. He is de-
scribed as an exaggerated likeness of
Gen. Booth, with hook nose, fiery eyes
and shaggy hair and beard. The Chris-
tian Israelites are also called Wroe-
ites and Beardies. The sect is still
prosperous in Melbourne.
Visiting its church, a handsome
blue-stone place In Fitzroy, on a re-
cent Sunday evening we found what
was described as an unusually small
attendance—about forty ladies and
20 gentlemen. Twenty-eight of^ the
ladies were in white straw bonnets.
The younger ones had them coquet-
tishly trimmed with feathers and
they inclosed pretty faces, too. We
thought of Carlyle’s saying when
Queen Victoria came to the throne,
“Poor girl. At an age when she can
hardly be trusted to buy her own bon-
net.”
An outcome of the Wroeites was the
Fisherites. When Wroe died James
Fisher, charcoal burner of Nunawad-
ing, eight miles from Melbourne, then
in the wild bush, tried to obtain the
succession. Failing this he made a
secession. He founded the Church of
the Firstborn and obtained 120 fol-
lowers, with an astounding combina-
tion of Wroeism, Mormonism, Spirit-
ualism and Freemasonry.
He “Thinked” Right.
Prof. George Porter, principal of the
Hallsville schools, has continually told
the pupils that they should think
twice before they speak. One cold
morning last week Prof. Porter
backed up to the stove, after having
given expression to his famous adage,
when a little boy on the front seat,
after having been given permission to
talk, said:
“Prof. Porter, I’ve thinked once.”
“Think again,” he replied.
“I’ve thinked twice,” said the young-
ster.
“Then speak.”
“Yes, sir, I thinked your coat tail
was a scorchin’, now I think it is
ablaze,” replied the obedient urchin.—

Camel Works Hard.
From the beginning of the journey
to its end a camel is never, relieved of
its load. It eats, walks and sleeps un-
der its burden, often for weeks at a
time. "The training of a camel is no
easy matter, as it takes about three
years to teach it to bend the knees in
order to be loaded and unloaded.
Banking Control.
Six banks in New York control the
stock market. They can elevate or de-
press prices at will. They can make
ready money one per cent, or 300 per
cent. They have no compunctions of
conscience, because thye have no con-
science. Here’s a bank with enormous
deposits. It pays no interest; but its
president and directors speculate with
the money, as if they owned it. Why
do people intrust their money to this
institution? "What d6' they get out of
it 7 If the bank fails the depositors are
ruined.—N.- Y. Press.
Avoid Habit of Gossip.
The gossip habit is pernicious. Re-
mark the the family that they are
breaking one of the commandments—
“Thou shalt not bear false witness”
—and it may set them to thinking.
Gossip usually has an element of uc
truth in it.

ONE KIDNEY GONEi
But Cured After Doctors Said There
Was No Hope.
Sylvanus O. Verrill, Milford, Me.,
says: “Five years ago a bad injury
paralyzed me and
affected my kid-
neys. My back hurt
me terribly, and
the urine was bad-
ly disordered. Doc-
tors said my right
kidney was practi-
cally dead'. They
said I could never
walk again. I read
of Doan’s Kidney Pills and began us-
ing them. One box made me stronger
and freer from pain. I kept on using
them and in three months was able to
get out on crutches, and the kidneys
were acting better. I improved rap-
idly, discarded the crutches and to
the wonder of my friends was soon
completely cured.”

CHILD HAD SIXTY BOILS,
And Suffered Annually with a Red
Scald-Like Humor on Her Head.
Troubles Cured by Cuticura.
“When my little Vivian was about
six months old her head broke out in
boils. She had about sixty in all and
I used Cuticura Soap and Cuticura
Ointment which cured her entirely.
Some time later a humor broke out be-
hind her ears and spread up on to
her head until it was nearly half cov-
ered. The humor looked like a scald,
very red with a sticky, clear fluid com-
ing from it. This occurred every
spring. I always used Cuticura Soap
and Ointment which never failed to
heal it up. The last time it broke
out it became so bad that I was dis-
couraged. But I: continued the use of
Cuticura Soap, Ointment and Resol-
vent until she was well and has never
been troubled in the last two years.

Catarrh and Headache

sample bottle and two 25c bottles of
Hunt’s Lightning Oil, I am almost
well of Catarrh. It stops my head-
aches. It is the best medicine I ever
saw, and I just can’t keep house with-
out it.” She is right.
His Pleasant Visit.
"Why are you whipping that child
so?” asked a man of a German who
was belaboring a boy of ten.
“That’s none of your business,” re-
plied the German. “Besides, I have
a right to whip him. He is my sis-
ter’s child, who is here for his pleas-
ure.”
