To Stamp Out the Disease.

According to DR.. j. W. Connaway
of the Missouri Experiment Station,
the speediest, and in the end the
most economical way to eradicate
the present outbreak of "foot-and-
mouth" disease from the country is
to slaughter every diseased animal
and herd as rapidly as they can be
located; and burn, boil or bury in
quicklime the carcasses of the
slaughtered animals; and to disin-
feet in a thorough manner the
buildings and premises occupied by
the diseased animals. as we'll as to
disinfect thoroughly all utensils and
other articles that have been expos
ed to the infection. He says:
The slaughter method may seem
very drastic. and is; but this is the
best barrier we have against the
vastly greater losses that the live
stock men of the country would
suffer year after year if foot-and-
mouth disease should gain a per-
manent foot-hold in this country.

with in this manner years ago,

IT. THE DECREE OF DARIUS.

Daniel, one of the captives taken from
Jerusalem, and one of the noblest men of
God who ever lived, had been promoted
until, next to the king, he was the highest
official in the kingdom.
The presidents and princes were jealous
Iscof Of him, and conspired to get rid of him.
They suggested that decree be issued by
the king, that no petition should be made to
any God or man for thirty days, save of the
king.
The decree was signed and sent forth
What was Daniel, the Servant of God, to
do?
To obey God meant to disobey the king
to obey the king meant to disobey God.
When Daniel knew that the decree was
signed, he went into his house and, his win
dows being opened in his chamber toward
Jerusalem, he knee1ed upon his knees three
times day, and prayed, and gave thanks
before his God, as he did aforetime.
Daniels enemies were very quick to re-
port this act Of disobedience, and then the
poor, old king set his heart on Daniel to de-
liver him; and he 1abored till the going
down of the sun to deliver him.
Daniels enemies, the tools of the devil,
gave the king no rest until the king COM
manded that Daniel should be cast into the
den of lions.
The king said to Daniel: "Thy God
Whom thou servest continually, He will de-
liver thee"
Daniel was made secure; a stone was put
upon the mouth of the den; and the king
sealed it with his own signet, and with the
signet of his lords.
The king then went to his palace, and
passed the night fasting and he was utterly
unable to sleep.
Early in the morning he went to the lions
den, and called unto Daniel, saying, 20
Daniel, servant of the Living God, is thy
God, Whom thou servest continually, able
to deliver thee from the lions" ?"
Daniel answered: "MY GOD HATH
SENT HIS ANGEL, AND HATH SHUT
THE LIONS MOUTHS, THAT THEY
HAVE NOT HURT ME-"
Then the men who had accused Daniel
were taken and cast into the den of lions,
together with their children, and their
wives; and all of their bones were broken
in pieces before they struck the bottom Of
the den

In the face of this command, what were
the children of God to do?
To obey God meant to disobey Marshall
Field and Company to obey Marshall Field
and Company meant to disobey God.
ZION people took their stand that they
would obey GOD.
A man by the name of Finn, who by this
time must be heartily ashamed of himself
(if he is not, the day will come when he will
be), tried to persuade Gods children to for
sake God-to disobey Him, and to fall down
at the feet of Marshall Field and Company
in order to keep their jobs.
Old "Doc" White, with the brass of a
government mule, insulted and tried to show
ZION people the wonderful p merits (??)
of the dirty, foul, low-down filthy, heathen-
ish rite of vaccination.
ZION people said, mo! We will obey
Godw
There were others who at first said, "No,
we will not be vaccinated" But when it
came to the final test-be vaccinated or lose
their jobs-they disobeyed God, obeyed the
devil, and, for the time being, they have
their jobs.
It will be interesting to watch and see who
comes out ahead in this fight.
The Three Hebrew Children obeyed God,
and came forth conquerors.
Daniel obeyed God, and came forth con-
queror.
ZION people have obeyed God, and one
and all will see that they will come forth
conquerors.
God is not dead
God is not bankrupt.
God has not changed.
The awfulness of the insult suffered by
ZION people, at the hands of Marshall Field
and Company, has not yet dawned upon the
minds of the people The terrible crime
committed by those who submitted to vacci-
nation is not yet fully understood, and will
not be for some time
Oh, what terrible thing for men and
women to disobey in the face Of great light
What terrible thing for men and women
to become an offence to the children of God

AS surely as God Almighty sits upon His
throne, He will punish the transgressors.

THEOCRAT some idea of what men and

ZION people have had some tests, but no
thing to be compared with the tests endured
by many of Gods faithful children in the
past.

happy. Those who, in the face of light,
permitted their bodies, created to be temples
of the Holy Ghost, to be inoculated with
filthy, disease-producing cow-pox virus can
not be other than miserable; and they will
most surely pay the penalty.
Once more in ZION it will be proven true
that he "who will save his position shall lose
it, and he who viii lose his position (for
Christ's sake) shall save it,
