NEWSPAPERS DENOUNCED.
There you have a typical specimen of Ia"

condition; but the lying description was
probably manufactured To III" order Of the
editor al the demand Of his owners
Its intention was To deceive and 80

los CITY
In speaking OF Zion city, tho town wl ich
has sprung up under Dowir- mana cement
about forty miles north of Chicago, he
said,
Thousands Of our people gather for
PRAYER and study of Gods word in Shiloh
TabcrnaCle every Lords DAY morning at
$50 o'clock. They got 10 bed early on
saturday night. They do not drink cham
payne on Saturday night and have real
pain on Sunday morning. They do not
smoke tobacco and fill themselves up with
nicotine.
1T is very beautiful To hear. over the
city, the Zion band a. saturday night falls,
playing softly from the tower Of Elijah

VIEWS ABOUT THE OPERA
What a disgrace for men to take pleas
II
shameless songs in operas. singing the
music of a harlot. Marguerite, in Faust ,
the music Of a devil, Hephisto 1ACiCs; and
of Faust a degraded doctor,
oh what a shame TO sing the crimes Of
Lucrezia Borgia, What a shame that YOU
should set up women 10 sing the shaW",c.,,
songs Of the vile~t women Of European
history Shame Disgrace! Utter and COM
plete disgrace
That is my opinion OF the opera. No
.voic" for God, but voices for the devil. We
get along very we'll in Zion civ without
opera We have learned To sing the New
Song and the people are very happy. Come
out and sce u. You can all come to-
gether.
