"Dallas Purcell lives with his wife and daughter In the Beagle district. " ' Besides the attire, he has his hair and beard arranged to resemble the pictures of Christ. He says he doesn't be long to any church, but em braces them all. He Is trying to live like Christ lived, and finds it easier to live that way by dressing as Christ dressed. His mission is to work for peace and more love in our nation, which he says is badly needed at the present time. No argument here. His wne, wno dresses line omer women, will be entitled to wear the robes after sht has put in the required time of doing good to others. No meat is eaten by Dallas, as the 7th commandment, thou Shalt not kill, means ani mals as well as humani. He said he would be a hypocrite if he ate meat killed by a butcher. Some of the things in his diet are sunflower seed, vetch fted ground and mixed wTTh other seeds. He is now working on a natural cave in a cliff near their home, which will be used to live in, and store food in case of a bomb attack. More about this if we get time to explore the cave. .
