Flying Rollers are Dying Rollers

Frequent deaths in the ranks of the Flying Rollers the fanatical religious sect at Benton Harbor, has aroused the leaders. Three members have died in a short time end three more are critically ill. 11 is onejof the leading tenets of the Flying Rollers that they will fly and roll right into heaven without having to die. And thus it gives them a bad jolt when some of their leading members pay the debt of nature like ordinary people. Like Dowie when his prayers don’t cure, and all other, religious fakers under similar circumstances, theyhaye a good excuse ready, which is that those who die lacked faith.
