Zion City split as Dowie authority repudiated
A Chicago special reports a Sunday meeting of 500 adherents of the Christian Catholic church of Zion City led by John Alexander Dowie. Wilbur Glenn Voliva was elected new head amid denouncements of Dowie and his wife Mrs Dowie. Dowie’s son Gladstone remained with his mother as Voliva established leadership. An 100 word telegram from Dowie in Mexico triggered the upheaval and dismissal orders for Zion officials. Voliva read the message, rejected removing Alexander Grainger, and replaced leadership with Speicher and others denouncing Dowie.
