REVIEW OF HISTORY OF
ZION GUARD

A social gathering was held by ZION
Guard, at the College Building, on the
evening of Monday, Feb. 21st. Address
es were given by Colonel Jasper H. De
Pew, and by Apostles Carey and Peck
ham; the following information, regard
ing the history and organization of ZION
Guard, has been furnished by the form
er, and will no doubt be of general in
terest:
''ZION Guard first sprang into exis-
tence during the year of persecution, in
Chicago, FL years ago. A small COM
pany of men under the direction then of
Captain Stern Cater Colonel diligently
guarded the person Of DR.. Dowie, and
the ZION properties clustering about
62nd Street and Stony Island Avenue.
'The organization as such voluntarily

ed and expected to do everything with
an eye single to Gods glory; but no man
can smoke or chew tobacco to the honor
and glory of God. The fact of the mat
ter is, all persons who have been con-
verted have no desire nor inclination
for tobacco using, dancing, card play
ing, or theater going. The desires of the
converted man are in an entirely differ
ent direction.
"The Methodist church, by taking
the position as set forth in the reports
of the press, will simply put another
screw in it's coffin as an organization.
ZION will go on with her witnessing
against these evils at all costs, and hold
up the standard of Jesus the Christ"

pleasant, neither are the men always
understood in the performance of their
duties. The organization has become an
integral part of ZION, and is subject only
to the General Overseer.
"Our office is to help and not to be Off
cious. We are essentially servants, in
the highest sense of that word. The
present status of lions great work,
presages bright future for the organ
ization in which we have the honor to
serve"

disbanded after the persecution ceased,
and not until the year 1899 was there
much need of further guard duty. Dur
ing this year of bitter persecution on
the part of the Chicago press, which
openly melted to riot and violence, ZION
properties were again protected, and
lions leader was constantly covered in
all his movements.
The Holy War; which closed this
memorable year, witnessed much riot
ing and violence. Some of those who
stood near DR.. Dowie, during those
strenuous days and nights, were injured,
but none seriously.
"The Hammond riot had more to do
with recognizing and uniforming the
Guard, than any other one thing. In
the confusion of that wild night, the
valiant services of half a dozen men,
backed up by the ZION people present,
was, without doubt, the means of saving
the life of lions leader, who was him

after the removal to Zion City.
there was further reorganization of
the work attendant upon the Feast of
Tabernacles, and the mission at Madison
Square Garden, New York, in the year
1903.
1.-The last reorganization was effected
by the General Overseer in lAuou1st
1912, and further additions were made
last year. The organization at present
numbers 33 officers and men, We need
% more men, to enable those in charge
to do effective work, and properly care
for and handle the crowds, during the
coming Feast of Tabernacles.
The Guard has necessary work to
perform. Their work is not always

again I warn you to be on your
guard on this question of discipline"
1t is gratifying to note, however, that
some churches of the Methodist denomi-
nation, still prohibit self-indulgence,
and all things that are not for the "glory
of Cod" Professor J. w. E. Bowen, of
Atlanta, Georgia, was brave enough to
say, 81 do not advocate unity at any
price Such cry, in church or state,
is void of good sense, and is worthy of
the senility of age, or the matureness of
youth, both of which are devoid of in
telligence."
ZION has always fought these evils,
without gloves. Following are extracts
from an article which appeared in the
Wduhegan Swm, of Friday, February 10:
'I am inexpressibly sorry, though
not in the least surprised, at the position
taken by the bishops of the Methodist
church, relative to the use of tobacco,
dancing, card playing, theater going,
and so FORTH" said Voliva, when inter
viewed at Zion City, Thursday after
noon.
"The position taken is an exact full
fillment of New Testament prophecies.
In the Christian Catholic Apostolic
Church in ZION, of which am the Gen
eral Overseer, the growing, manufacture
ing, selling and using of tobacco are pro-
hibited-there is one rule alike for both
the ministers and the members.
"There is nothing good that can be
said for tobacco. The nicotine in tobac-
co is one of the rankest poisons known to
chemistry. It belongs to the "old man, y
and is one of his deeds, but the "new
man" in Christ Jesus will have nothing
to do with it. A Christian is command
