THE BUILDING OF
ZION CITY

1t will be six years March l, 1917 since the
purchase of Zion Estate.
Six years is long time-and yet many who
rejoiced with March |, 1911, that Zion City
did pass into the hands of the world, have not,
yet, helped even one dollar for the establish
ment of this great and mighty work.
On another page we have printed partial
list of OUTSIDE PROPERTIES listed with the
General Office for sale.
On Monday evening, October 3Oth, the Of
fcers in Zion City will assemble in the Prayer
Room of Shiloh Tabernacle and hold a special
prayer service for the sale of these properties.
We ask all who believe in Zion City and
are ready to help build Zion City to join with
IN prayer
All things are possible with God
All things possible to him who believeth
Zion City will be built and the Bride will be
prepared for the coming of the King.

A PROOF OF THE NEW BIRTH

One of the proofs that is born from above is that
his affections will be things above and not things on
the earth.
AS you 90 down the streets of city like Chicago, and
see the hurry and scurry the hustle and the buse
cannot help saying eff those who profess to be Christians
had a thousandh part much enthusiasm earnestness,
and devotion the principles of KINGDOM OF GOD as
the people you in Chicago have in their worldly pursuits
the Millennium would be ushered in. If processing
Christians had housandth part of the enthusiasm that
men world had yesterday supporting their favore
candidates. the whole world would be stirred from
center to circumference.
The test that Paul puts here is simply this, that man
who is rased from the dead that is the who has
died INTO sin died unto himself seek the things that
are above and will his affections upon things above and
not upon the things on the earth.

PRELUDE

GENERAL OvERsEER: I regard this chapter one of
the most remarkable and significant in all of Paus letters
very rich in thought and is full of suggestions which,
Needed will lift everyone to God You will observe
that the Apostle Paul his ministry proceeded with very
great care did not exhort the unconverte the
saved one who had been born from above to live in
accordance with the high standard which Jesus had esab
ished therefore he says:
eff ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things
which are above where Christ stitch the right hand of
God"
He would not think of asking individuals who had not
been crced and resurrected to seek the things that
above God is of order and not of confusion There
are some this audience today who need first OF ALL SER
mon on genuine repentance There who can truth
fully say:
81 am crucfied with Christ nevertheless live yet not
I, but Christ liveth in me-"
AS to whether you love God and Jesus Christ His Son.
your conduct will determine Your love for God and His
Son will be shown by your obedience must confess after
wide observation and experience that for the most
part people in active rebellion against Cod and they
resent upon the part of anybody interference with the
flesh or with them doing they like and going they
please The rank and file Of and women will be heard
saving 81 propose to think like The who thinks
as he likes the straight road to hell every time for
the thoughts of the carna unconverted not the
thoughts of God the Almighty.

went with them, and instead of going
in the barn she noticed that the gate
leading into the chicken yard was

Fort Des Moines was constructed
