Ban on the Little God of Love is Re-
moved by the Powers at Zion City

Ban on the Little God of Love is Re-
moved by the Powers at Zion City
General OverseerVo1 wants every
maid In Zion City to become a wife.
And if his plans miscarry it will be no
| fault of his, for he will not content
| himself with wanting but will do
every thing within his power to bring
the men and maids of the city to-
gether. Even now he is preparing
for large reception. 1t will be the
social event in the history ofthe north
shore city. It will be held in the
hospice and every maid and every un-
| married man in the city will be in
Ivited. His coming will even be
insisted on by the general overseer of
the colony, and it will be something
more than a reasonable excuse that
will explain his absence.
The campaign of the general over
seer is the result of letter which he
/ received Saturday. Mr.. Voliva has
long maintained that the proper work
for woman was homework, and he
/ has insisted they remain away from
| the factories and the industries of the
city save when necessity compe1s
them totoi1.
But it seems some of the girls
thought they were without an oppor-
tunity of marrying or of causing
some man to win them. One young
woman wrote the general overseer a
letter and said there were no social
entertainments where man could
meet maid and it was difficult to
court during one of his sermons.
That was point the overseer had
overlooked. But he set about at once
to remedy it, and the reception is the
result. Overseer Voliva will stand at
the head Of the reception line. If the
taste of one of his young men hap
pens to turn to the blonde type of
beauty the overseer will see the young
man has the privilege of attempting,
to win a woman with blue eyes and
light hair. If his fancy turns to the
brunette he will have the opportunity
of vying with the other young men
for the hand of one of the darker
bellies. No young woman is to COM
plain she has had no opportunity.
/ The overseer's announcement to
the young people was not the only
one of Importance he made He told
something Of the plans that would be
pursued by the overseers should John
Alexander Dowie be declared the
rightfu1 owner of the industries by
the court. Two weeks ago Mr.. voliva
declared nine-tenths of the citizens of
the north shore colony would depart
# Dowie won his legal fight. Mr..
Voliva announced no such migration
would follow the announcements the
success Of his rival today. He said
the people opposed to the old regime
would remain in Zion whether they
were victors or whether they were de-
feated.
