AUTHOR'S NOTE

 

The attempt here is to present an accurate-­although abridged-account of the personality, words, acts, and experiences of John Alexander Dowie, and a true picture of his human and material environment. Aside from the man himself, his family, and his successor, Wilbur Glenn Voliva, all characters in the story are fiction-as are also details of conver­sations and events.
