Elyah XI, bogus prophet of God,
religions hypnotist, imposter and
all-round dangerous: individual,
goes to the Oregon state prison
"or two years for the . crime of
adultery. This was the decision
of a just tribunal that "fried his
case last Friday. Until the very
ast, this brazen moral leper,
claimed innocence and in the
face of overwhelming testimony
of his guilt claimed , that he was
not guilty and further added to
the sacnhgious infamy of his
cause by asserting boldly that
God would plead his cause. What
grounds he had for claiming
innocence or by what interpreta
tion of Scripture he justified his
assertion is Ja mystery. If God
plead his cause his whole scheme
of religion has met with divine
disapproval, unless he considers
disgrace and prison life and os
tracism as an evidence of divine
favor,' which he may yet claim
in order to further delude his un
happy victims. T .
By the ludgement of : an im
partial judge, an unbiassed jury,
by eye witnesses and by the force
of his own acts ' for more than
two years, Creffield has been pro
nounced guilty and has been
sentenced to suffer for the wrongs
he has committed.
The sentence is too light. It is
not commensurate with the enor
mity of the crime. The work of
this dangerous man has been far
more extensive and far-reaching
in its results than most people
allow themselves to think.
The stigma of the insane
asylum will never leave those
who are there, even though they
in time gain their liberty. The
dangerous religious doctrines in
culcated will probably never be
eradicated from their minds. The
very fact that the city of Cor
vallis has endured him and his
sect for so long without making
pronounced effort to have them
removed has had a baleful and
deadening effect upon public mor
ality.
