WARSZAWIAK OUT OF ZION.

His Brief Career as a Dowieite Ended with Discharge.

Herman Warszawiak, after a brief career as an apostle for Dowie, has been expelled from the ranks of Zion. The Dowieites opened headquarters in Harlem about a month ago, and have been holding meetings in Madison Hall, at Madison Avenue and One Hundred and Twenty-fifth Street.

Warszawiak was a leading light and frequent speaker. But a few days ago, it was learned yesterday, George S. Mason, Vice Prophet and overseer for the State of New York, called a meeting of the local authorities of the society and dismissed Warszawiak.

Warszawiak became converted to Christianity several years ago. He was later dismissed from the Rev. Dr. John Hall's Fifth Avenue Presbyterian Church.
