Sanford’s Society of Shiloh
SANFORD'S SOCIETY OF SHILOH, ME., blasphemously called The Holy Ghost and Us Society, has recently been investigated by the governor of the state, and found to be in a deplorable condition. Children were found to be cruelly treated, adults half starved and improperly clothed, and disease, depravity, and insanity were disclosed as the result of this pseudo Elijah's "will." Sanford, who, like Dowie, claims to be Elijah, is in the Holy Land, endeavoring to establish himself there. The present condition of things at Shiloh ought to convince the dullest of his dupes that they have been deluded by a self-deceived man. Both of the self-styled "Elijahs" seem to be passing to oblivion at the same time. It will be fortunate if some of their deluded followers do not further deceive the broken and confused followers. It is never safe to follow any man who exalts himself.
