Lavina Johnson Hunger, whose chief ambition in hor 4 years in the colony was to be elevated to a position of lady in waiting upon Benjamin, only to find tile laurels concealing a crown of thorns upon attainment, revealed for the first time the intimate deals of life of Benjamin. Levina, who kept faith as promulgated by tlie Isrealites and obeyed laws to the letter, while serving as Benjamin’s privae detective and Hula dancer, told a frank and open story of her life in the colony. Her black eyes flashed a bitter hatred and strong resentment as she disclosed the story of her associaions with Benjamin, culminating, she declared, when tiie King attempted a vicious attack upon her under the guise of a religious rite. “Benjamin seldom slept at night, Lavina said. There was always a light in his room. He said he did his work then, preparing his writings and prophesies. He slept in the day time The spirits were abroad in the night time and they would inspire his works, he said. Tweny-three girls lived in Shiloh. They were the favored of the Hock. Thy had nothing to do but care for Hen jamin. No other men lived in the apartment. Queen Mary, the king's wife, even lived in a building far separate from that of her husband. All other members of the colony worked hard, were given poor food and insufficient clothing. "While 1 was in Mary's retinue. 1 acted as spotter for Benjamin. 1 was [forced to work in the restaurant ami I other hard labor. Benjamin’s girls ardsc early, when la general bell was sounded, to be pre I pared for his appearance, breakfast I consisting of the choicest fruits ami I carefully lie prepared food which was served the king in his bed, when in ! desired. I While Benjamin and his virgin.[were satisfying their appetites with I the best of foods, oilier members of the colony were given only the plainest victuals. Tey never had eggs, butter ami cream. Os course hone in the entire family eats meat. "A conspiracy of silence” regarding tlieactious of Benjamin exists even among tho cult itself. Levina said, aft er unfolding her story that rival tales .. al/au nights and the logi nd: of tlie courts of Babylon. "J didn't even tell my own mother of my experiences until nearly a year later,” she said. The Shiloh girls never discuss Ben jamin even among themselves. Mrs. I longer who left tho colony I within the last tew weeks since tlie investigation started, declared that despite tlie fact Benjamin lias beefl missing since January 1, tlie great majority of the flock still have the faith in him. "The House of David books prophesy that Benjamin shall be ‘cluised like a fox and run into a hole’ but that lie will return and face iiis accusers.. The great, hope which inspires thp 1.000 members of tlie colony, io that they shall live forever in the flesh and never experience deal it. Benjamin says he will give them the tree of life, and they shall be among the chosen 12 tribes of Isreal, consisting of 144.ooo.who shall not perish from the earth.” , 0 Tho Foreign Missionary society of ‘lie Methodist church will meet at the home oi Mrs. Amos It odor on West Monro.- street.
