VOLIVA SAYS CHURCH IS NOT
FILLING MISSION

Vo1iva, the prophet of Zion, was in Gales
burg yesterday afternoon and spoke to a
large audience in the auditorium Several
from here attended.
He said that the churches were not filling
their mission, the preachers fearing to ex-
pound the gospel, working a few hours on
Sunday and squandering their time and tai
ents the balance of the week. Not one
third of the people go to church.
He was especially severe on the medical
profession, declaring he knew the abomin-
able inner secrets of the different schools of
medicine He was not choice in his lang
uage, declaring there is not greater trust
He declares many of them are drunkards,
cocaine, morphine and opium fends, made
so by association in hospitals and schools
The masses of the people, he declared, are
slaves to medicine.
Another institution that came under the
vial of his denunciation was the Christian
Science church He would like to discuss
the doctrines OF. the church in the coliseum
of Chicago He would pay half the rent
$3.50 of that building for one day.
Druggists also were among those whom
he scored and charges them with many of
the evils now affecting humanity, claiming
drugs sold are chargeable to $4,000 prenla-
ture infant deaths. He showed pictures of
600 children and babies born in Zion City
without surgical or medical aid

EUROPEAN WAR PROPHECY
PREPARATIONS GOING ON FOR YEARS AND NO
USE TO PRAY FOR PEACE.

Rev. Wilbur Glenn Vo1iva, general over
seer of the Christian Catholic Apostolic
church of Zion, went cunning for the hypo-
critics and apostates Sunday in his sermon
at the Auditorium. Rev. Voliva left on the
early morning train for Chicago and his
last words to Francis N Cunningham were
to preach the old-time gospel in Galesburg.
Voliva likes Galesburg but he has the same
affection for misbelievers here as elsewhere
and paid his respects to them in his sermon
Sunday
He said in part:
''Prophets have always been scorned and
always will be. People don't believe in God
today. One-third never go to church at all.
You may say all you like about the Protest
ant churches There is no such thing as a
Protestant church today. About the only
thing the ministers protest against today are
low salaries Noah went 120 years without
a convert
1T means something to be Christian.
Doctors for the most part are drunkards and
morphine fends. Drug-stores are worse
than saloons.
Tombstones as Liars.
"The biggest liars are tomb-stones. When
a hypocrite or apostate man dies there is a
$4,000 tombstone erected over ten-cent
man and on the tombstone is inscribed
Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord.
A man who cursed God, loved whiskey and
despised everything that was righteous.
''Zion believes in the verbal inspiration of
the Bible. Zion says men are sinners and
must repent and be born again. Churches
fight one another They take the same Bible
and preach differently. One minister will
claim that another minister is Chris
tan and say if he would die he would go to
heaven but at the same time cannot belong
to the same church that he belongs to be-
cause he was not baptized. Nearly every
saloon-keeper belongs to the church
Preparations for the war in Europe have
been going on for forty years. 1t is no use
to pray for peace because the war in Europe
is only fulfllment of prophecy and the cause
for the war is jealousy among nations.
There may be twenty-five million men en-
gagged before it is ever ended This is a
war under the sea and in the air and on land
and sea.
The Evening Sermon.
In the evening Rev. Voliva again
preached. He said:
''There are two kinds of infdels One
kind says there is no God and lives like
there is one and the church members who
say there is a God and live like the devil
When the end comes the people will rise up
against the preachers and put them to death
for deceiving them and not giving them the
Gospel and teaching them how to live The
greatest battle ever fought in the world is
being fought in Zion City. No vaccination
is allowed in Zion and there never was a
death in Zion from smallpox. Zion be-
lieves in taking their children to God in
prayer and having them healed

Impossible!
"ZIoN says men are sinners and must b
born again. ZION believes in the verbal in
spiration of the Bible and stands for on,
eternal and personal God.
War and Strife.
"And this great war in Europe today. I
has been in preparation for forty years. 1
is the fu1fl1ment of prophecy and praying
for peace will do no good. This is a wal
under the sea and in the air. God has
people in ZION who will be cared for ane
will survive. AS in the days of Noah, God:
people will be rescued from conflict, strife
and disaster"
Evening Meeting.
Even larger crowd than in the Afternoon
was present for the evening service. Follow
ing another musical service, Voliva launch
ed into a spectacular sermon on war and re-
ligion.
"The world will not again be destroyed BY
water" said the Overseer confidently "It
will be destroyed by fire. The KINGDOM
OF GOD will be established as the fifth anc
last universal empire Monarchy and de-
mocracy will never mix. The battle Of
Armageddon is the last great fight before
the second coming of Christ
Il predict that Constantinople will be cap
tured and that all the Turks will be driver
from Europe People will rise up against
their preachers and put them to death fol
deceiving the people. There are trouble
some times ahead for those without ZION.
Drcughts Are Punishments.
''People today do not believe in judg
ments, but hear me-every adverse thing is
judgment sent upon the people. Droughts
are judgments from God. You must suffer
for sins. There are two kinds Of infdels
one kind claiming no God and living as
though there were one and the other kind

living like the Devil
Battle i'm Zion.
"The greatest battle ever fought is being
fought in ZION CITY. No vaccination is al
lowed in ZION and there has never been a
death from smallpox. ZION people believe
in taking their children to God in prayer and
having them thus healed"
Voliva here showed photograph of CSC
persons born in ZION without the aid of a
doctor and who never had taken drop OF
medicine Voliva denounced doctors as
"drunkards" and morphine fends'' and said
drug stores were "worse than saloons"
Moving pictures of scenes in ZION were
shown at the evening meeting.
Outside Campaign.
Voliva was here November 10th and spoke
for the first time in Galesburg. The sue
cess of this meeting prompted return ell
gagement. He expressed himself as pleased
with the response here as several applica-
tons and many inquirers have followed his
meetings yesterday The Zionites returned

ZION CHURCH HEAD GAVE
SERMON HERE
oOWIE'S SUCCESSOR FLAYS THE CHURCHES,
DOCTORS AND TOMB STONES IN SPECTACULAR
ADDRESSES.

Wilbur Glenn Voliva, General Overseer
of the Christian Catholic Apostolic Church
of ZION, paid another visit to Ga1esburg
yesterday and preached two strong ser
mons at the Auditorium before large audi
ences.
GAS it was in the time of Noah, so shall
it be today-God has people and they will
be taken care of in these times of stress, %
declared Voliva, who predicted dire results
from the great European War.
"It is useless to pray for peace" said the
Overseer. "The war in Europe is only a
fulfllment of prophecy and the cause of war
is jealousy among the nations. There may
be 25,OO0OO0 men engaged before it is
over"
Many People Attracted.
Many people from Knox and nearby
counties were attracted to the meetings here
yesterday Zionites came from Rock Is
land, Monmouth, G1asford and Pennington,
besides places in the country near Gales
burg.
The ZION party arrived on the 5 20 a. m.
train over the Santa Fe on Sunday morning.
They went Immediately to the Union Hotel
for rest. Besides Voliva there were in the
party: Jasper H. DePew, personal attend
ant of the Overseer; Apostle Royal; John
d. Thomas, conductor of the ZION White
Robe Choir, Mrs John D. Thomas, soprano
Mrs. Lucille Carnes, alto; Marty Barton,
tenor; Mrs. l.. J. Hire, pianist; L. J. Hire,
conductor ZION orchestra, Richard Hire,
violinist; Dorothy and Ralph Bull, singers
from the ZION Junior White Robe Choir.
Afternoon Service.
The afternoon service opened at 2:l5
o'clock with musical program. Dorothy
and Ralph Bull age and II years respec-
lively, pleased the audience with their talent.
The other musical numbers met a responsive
chord in the people.
Following the invocation by Apostle Roy
all, Voliva began to preach.
About Prophets.
The Overseer began with discourse on
prophets past and present "The duty of a
prophet who is sent from God is to teach
and to warn the people," said Dowie's sue
cessor. Prophets have and always will be
more or less scorned by the general public.
People do not believe in God today and it is
doubtful if as many as one-third of them
ever attend church at all. Something radi-
cal must be done to convert them to the
teachings of truth.
"You may say all you like about Protest
ant churches, but believe me, when say that
there is no such thing as a Protestant church.
About the only things the ministers pro
test against today are low salaries. Noah
went 120 years without convert 1t
means something to be Christian. It
means more than just being Methodist or
Baptist or Lutheran or a Presbyterian"
Some Strong Expressions.
Voliva began to "sail into things in his
characteristic manner and gave expression
to some such biting remarks as follows:
christian Science is conglomeration of
rot Scientists do not preach the Gospel
and they deny every fundamental principle
of the Bible All churches fight one an
other. Their preachers take the same Bible
and preach differently.
