These were the promises that induced
thousands Of people to pay high prices for
lots in Zion City, and without these prom
ises they never would have made pur-
chases. These were the considerations for
which they paid their money; and is it
possible, is it just that individuals should
be permitted to come in here and rob the
people Of their heritage?
Let it be distinctly understood by these
invaders that, so far as Wilbur Glenn
Voliva is concerned and the Zion People
who stand with him, we will fight to the
last ditch to maintain our heritage; that
legal proceedings will be instituted to
maintain our rights.
Notice has been served upon this drug
store-tobacco outfit, and as quickly as
possible a bill will be filed and an ap-
plication made for an injunction. Able
lawyers are working on this case.
We appeal to all fathers and mothers,
primarily for the sake Of Jesus and then
for the sake Of their children, to assist in
this fight by their earnest prayers at the
family altar.
How can men and women with a tiny
spark of Zion left in their hearts, look at
this drug store, doctors office, tobacco
sign, without hanging their heads in shame
and crying to God day and night to give
Zion the victory; that we may have a
clean City-a City that will be an honor
and glory to God.
We are going after every violator Of
the Zion City leases, and will not stop out
side of the highest court to determine
whether or not the rights of thousands of
God-fearing people can be trampled under
foot by wicked lot who have no regard
