Dowie and Zion Cities. The prophet Eliiah IIL, returns servee NO, 16,16 Atr uld contain 3,125 square miles of territory, It would be ample as a site for a large , While afford. nt scope for the opera- Dowie Land Company, tlons Limited. Dowie's original Zion City, on shores of Lake Michigan, near Chicago, occupied a site of 6,500 acres, or a little more than ten square | miles. Within five years after the city was plotted it had a population of | 10,000 and represented an investment of $15,000,000, In addition to the Tabernacle and Assembly buildings it comprised extensive stores, a large hotel, lace-making works, candy factories, brick yards, and other flourishing industries, Whatever may be thought of Dowie’s peculiar | " tenets, of his capability as a promoter there can be no question, If his Mexican project goes through, Dowie will have opportunities which will be the envy of all promoters. | He will be ruler and spiritual overlord of a region nearly three times as large as the State of Rhode Island, With capable press agents to extol the superior ben é in this salubrious sub-tropical Utopta, there is no reason why immigration from all quarters should not be stim- ulated and the colony made a success from the start. If other lures fail, the inducement of a passport to heaven with every title deed and the in- | ¢ldental attraction of silver mines only awaiting development ought to Prove persuasive, America has been prolific in experiments in community life. It has had Fourier “phalanxes” without number, of which Brook Farm was! one; Ruskin colonies, Topolobampo, the Doukhobors, the Mormons, | the Shakers, the Harmonists and the Amana and Oneida Communities, | Some have existed only fora day. Others have taken root and thriven. But wherever a colony of this kind has flourished it has had & religious idea to animate it. In that lay the strength of the Mormons and the Shakers, In the case of Dowie and his proposed “Paradise Planta. tion” in Mexico, there is an artful combination of the spiritual with the very material which would have aroused the interest and won the respect of the late P. T. Barnum, Ibsen. If Ibsen, whose end {s near, had died thirty years ago, there would | have been. none of that extensive output of pathological drama which is his monument. There would be no one to acclaim him master and no laurel wreaths. Would not the world he better off?
