HEAD OF ZION CHURCH.
John A. Lewis Held to Be DoWie's
Successor.


Successor.
Chicago. June John A. Lewis has
been formally recognized by Federal
Judge K. NJ. Landis as the rightful
head Of the Christian Catholic church
of Zion, founded by John Alexander
DoWie, and the judge declared that
Wilbur Glenn Voliva was elected
overseer of the church as temporary
arrangement to tide over the church
until permanent action could be taken
Voliva presented a petition asking
that Overseer Lewis, named as head
Of the church in Dowie's will, and 9th.
ers be restrained from interfering
with Voliva as sole head of the church.
Judge Lands said:
"1n proceedings before me hereto
fore in this litigation it was shown
that Dowie submitted everything tc
the church. Inasmuch as the church
was not theocracy,. but was run by
the people through Dowie, who under
the church laws had the power tc
name his successor, Deacon Lewis
having been named by Dowie in his
will, is the successor so named, to be
deposed by the people If there is tc
be any such deposition. Voliva takes
a position utterly inconsistent with
previous orders Of this court and be
lieve that he should take time to re-
wise his petition"

;UBScRlPTION..-S5.OO PER ANNUM
AFTER THE WEDDING.
June is the month of weddings.

June is the month of weddings.
Does the bride, who is in many
cases, the sole child of the house
hold, realize that during her happi-
ness there are sad hearts in the
old home, after the wedding?
With laughter and gay cheers, the
bridal couple has been hidden
goodbye. One by one the guests
leave, and soon the mother is left
alone with the servants in the home
where the bride has been baby, little
girl, big girl, young lady and social
queen.
There is an unfathomable express
sion in the eyes of the mother as
she stands and looks out of the door
upon the piazza and steps which
but few moments ago were covered
by a chattering, smiling throng
gathered to do honor to and bid god
speed to the bride and groom.
The mother thinks of the many,
many sacrifices she has made, of the
pleasures she has denied herself, that
her girl might have advantages.
She smiles wistfully, musing upon
the days of patient effort, the hopes,
the dreams, the longings-which
have ended today.
All this she remembers, and signs.
Now her baby, her little girl, her
big girl, her young lady-her daugh-
ter-all are gone!
"Hilda," she calls to the maid,
sweep this rice off the porch and
the steps and pick up those old shoes
on the sidewalk, and put the place
in order. If anybody telephones me,
or calls for me, say I am not at
home. I am going to bed. Don't
waken me until I get up of myself.
l am going to get a good sleep.
This is the first time in fifteen years
that l have felt that I could get as
much sleep as I need"
