" oo0' i0oHAiiS ages
WHEN THE LORD SHALL BUILD UP ZION He SHALL APP
PEAR IN HIS GLORY"
And those who come into THE KINGDOM oB GOD will not
need TO DE exhorted to forsake all mamade organizations
1hey Will 1orsake them they will longer feel at home
there their fellowship will be with the saints and not with
the world
WHAT SHALL ONE THEN ANSWER THE MESSENGERS
OF THE NATION? THAT JEHOVAH HATH FOUNDED ZION AND
IN HER SHALL THE AFFLICTED OF HIS PEOPLE TAKE
REFUGE" Isaiah IA 49, (Rev Ver)
Il WILL TAKE YOU ONE CITY, AND TWO OF A FAMILY
AND WILL BRING YOU TO ZIoN."-Jeremiah 3:14
The LACK OF FAITH IS APPALLING
What state of affairs when God can find only one in
a whole city! Is it not worse than Sodom? How many
did He find in Sodom In truth He found only one and that
was Lott and He had to take him by the collar and lead
him out.
Such is the awful condition today: God can find only
one in city And I'll guarantee if to ask here this
morning those who zone of city" to stand up you
will find number here who the only from their
respective cities They have all had the message of ZION
in that city, but only zone of city" has accepted it, and
"two of family and then the rest fight
WHEN ONE JOINS ZION THEN SOME RELATIVE OR
FRIEND "KICKS'
You join anything under the heavens except ZION
and everything is sweet and PEACEFUL but tell your folks
that have been touched and that you ZION right
and the only thing and then there rsclas row. and
then there is will torn up-like in the case Of
where WILL in which 100000 wiled, torn up
and made simply because he had joined ZIoN
That is all right; if ZION is not worth more than
100000 to man, it is not worth much.
You can join anything else in the world except ZION
and it is all peace. You know that is true. But you 90
out through the country and mention ZION you go past
and the chickens and the roosters in the poultry yard will
have scrap in less than two minutes.
Listen!
Jesus Said "THINK NOT THAT AM COME TO SEND
PEACE ON EARTH. CAME NOT TO PEACE, SWORD
''FOR AM COME TO SET A MAN AT VARIANCE AGAINST
HIS FATHER AND THE DAUGHTER AGAINST HER MOTHER AND
THE DAUGHTERIN-LAW AGAINST MoTHER-IN-IAW.
"AND A MANS FOES SHALL THEY HOUSE
HOLD
CHE LovETH FATHER OR MOTHER MORE THAN Me-
is NOT WORTHY OF Me- AND HE THAT LovETH
TER MORE THAN Me, IS NOT WORTHY ME."-Matthew
10 34-37.
You have to put Christ first.
Why is it that when member of a family wants to
come into ZION there is great row?
know of certain young lady who came here, and
when she went back and mentioned ZoN they kidnapped
her, and took her away to St. Louis and locked her up
What the trouble? If she had joined the Presbyterian
Church, there would not have been any If she had
joined anything else Christian Science, Spiritualism
= there would have been nothing said
Anything else under the except ZION What the
difference?
When you mention Z1ON they know what that means.
We against the pig and you know, when to
Jesus the Christ the pig they will take the pig every
time. They like the Gadarenes. You know the hog
rasers out in Iowa sent Dr. Dowe word if he
in that State, they would murder him. AS I said to a
woman down in Ohio when she making great fuss
about ZON you want to eat fried cancer that is your
business. You free moral agent; you have right to
take your choice"
And then ZION is against the oyster; and to have to
give the oyster"Why, would do it anything
in the world And then, ZION is against dancing What
do they put their time in at in these around all over
the country? What do they put their time in at? Go on
Lords Day to the Churches and you will find little hand
fuyou all know that is true What do the rank and file
