sengers spreading the precepts .and
nrlnclDlea of the Israelite Ho
uavid and hailing from the Israelite
Colony at Benton Harbor, Mich., are
in the city today to pceure If possible
protection to rpread their gospel in
this city. Both' are Intelligent ap
pearing fellows, but appear unusual-'
ly strange and odd in their flowing
beard and waving locks, in which
they aim to emulate the physical
practices of Christ.
They come from the Israelite Col
ony at Benton Harbor where the des-
clples have worldly goods In common
and are thrifty, enterprising and In
dustrious. The two messengers, as
they are called, carry samples of a
newspaper printed at' the colony
known as ShilohV Messenger of Wis
dom and numbered the 10th month of
the "sixth year of the New Creation.
Their teaching are perhaps radical,
but logically put, command attention.
Of most striking Interest Is their be
