IS forbidden in Munich the coffee

nor anyone else thought of mixing it
with milk any more than the Turks
and Arabs do now.

period of ten weeks. It was a pro-
nounced success, and was given to the
pupils at a very low rate. The regis
tration for the summer school was 116.
The same will be resumed the coming
summer.
at is the plan, in the near future, to
incorporate the Conservatory, in connec-
ton with the Educational department of
Zion, under the laws of the state of
Illinois, which will enable the Conserv-
atory to issue any and all certificates and
degrees which are granted by like insti-
buttons. The rate of tuition charged
here is much less than can be found in
any school of similar class; the object
being to give the best instruction for
the lowest possible rate.
''The Conservatory is fortunate in
having a staff of instructors, who are
conscientious Christian men and women
laboring together in harmony for the
one great purpose of the extension OF
THE KINGDOM OF GOD.
It is the object of the school to train
young men and women in the fine arts
and to enable them to fill higher sphere
of usefulness in the church and commun

IS THERE NEED FOR A
ZION CITY?

At meeting of the Social Center" +,
held at one of the public school buildings
Of city less than dozen miles from
Zion City, few nights ago, an eminent
judge of the court delivered an address
on the subject, "The Father, the Boys
Companion; the Mother, the Girls Com
panion." The jurist, in the course of
his remarks, described how in former
years, the boys and girls remained at
home of evenings, read instructive books,
and conversed with their parents and
each other; later the evening was con-
Guided with the reading of the Word of
God, and with family prayer.
The judges talk, which was highly
commendable, was part of the pro-
gram. Scarcely had he left the platform,
however, when lot of loud, pert, gum
chewing young girls, in low necked
dresses and short skirts, rushed in and
began noisily clearing the floor of chairs.
With some young lads a dance was
started, before the audience was out Of
the hall. This was also a part of the
program. These "social center" gath
erings at the various public school build
ings, always wind up with a dance, so
we are informed, with the principal and
teachers present.
The event we have described was moth
ing out of the ordinary-just the regular
thing. 1t was described to us by per-
son who had gone to hear the judges
address.
This leads us to ask:
Is there a need for Zion City?
Is there a need for Zion schools?
The theocrat. [volume] (Zion City [i.e. Zion], Ill.) 1914-1949, 1916-02-05

than during the corresponding PERIOD a
year ago; furthermore, that collections
have been more free. One laundry-man
is quoted as saying that he "attributes
the improvement in trade to the Wiling
ness of many husbands to permit the
family laundry being done away from
home" He adds that zone can reach
his own conclusion as to whether the dis
appearance of the saloon has helped
changed conditions"
Another business man, while giving
practically the same testimony, says:
''I was not Prohibitionist, and yet l
am presenting conditions as they actual
ly are" President David C. Alderman,
of the Spokane Bakery, who, for num-
Der of winters, has pursued the policy OF
giving certain amount of bread to the
poor, says: "Not in years has the bread
line been so small as at present In past
winters the destitute men told me they
had spent their money in saloons"
There has also been a striking de-
crease in the number of arrests, for
drunkenness, and disorderly conduct re-
sulting from drunkenness.
A short article appearing in the Amer
ican Issue, is of intense interest, along
this line In speaking of Kansas, the
first state to adopt prohibition, the paper
says:
kansas became free from debt on
January /, 1916, according to an an
nouncement of Earl Akers, State Treas
urer. It is also announced that she is
the one state in the Union so situated.
GAS a result members of the State
Executive Council held a celebration on
New Years day, in the statehouse. On
that day the $4,000 in bonds, out
standing againt the state, were re-
deemed.

CHICAGO SERVICE WELL
ATTENDED, DESPITE RAIN

Although the rain continued in a
steady down-pour, on last Lords Day
afternoon, the audience which attended
the meeting at Central Zion Tabernacle,
Chicago, was unusually large-the larg
est since before the holidays. The clos
est attention was given throughout. The
General Overseer's witnessing, in Chic
ago, is beginning to attract no small
amount of attention, and his messages
are stirring the ire of the devil and his
agents.
In his sermon on last Lords Day, the
General Overseer denounced practically
every sin in the catalog, but dwelt espe-
cialIy on the apostacy of the present day
religious organizations, and the falsity
of their shepherds. He characterized
their work as mockery, sacrilegious and
blasphemous. He held high the banner
of THE KINGDOM, and urged the people
not to come down, but to rise to the
standard.
Anyone, he said, could be member
of the apostacies; that did not cost any,
thing, and nothing need be given up.
''The all important thing" said he,
sis this: Are you a Christian?"

NOTICE TO TAX PAYERS

James J. Craig, Township Tax Collec-
tor informs us that he expects to mail
tax notices, to all tax payers, within the
next few days.
See 'Tax Notice" elsewhere in this
issue. Taxes are considerably higher
this year than they were last year, be-
cause of the raise in the rate of taxation
which is governed wholly by the various
Taxing Boards County, Town,
School, etc., and not by the assessor as
some are inclined to think.
The principal cause of the high rate
this year in this City is the result of the
expense of the Smallpox quarantine last
year.
