The theocrat. [volume] (Zion City [i.e. Zion], Ill.) 1914-1949, 1916-09-30

| some ways, very gloomy lndeed, nave
decided to order change in the methods
of our work and whilst still using our
old tools whenever opportunity presents
itself, yet in the main to depend for re-
suits on choosing from amongst those
Zion people, certain individuals who pro-
feSs to be Zion but, who see more and
more clearly are really the very best
workers that I have, for the simple rea-
son that most of their work is done on
the inside, whereas these other tools are
compelled to work from the outside.
"Now, there are some points on which
desire to have special attacks made, for
instance in connection with his taking to
himself another helpmate. That is bad
business for us, because I plainly forsee
that she will help him in hundred ways
in his fight against us; so do not fail to
have our agents on the inside.
"Say all the ugly and mean things
that you can lay your tongues to, be-
cause maybe you can affect her, if not
both of them. You can rest assured that
| shall do my part to see to it that your
tools, in this matter, get their full re-
ward in He'll, for this is only right.
Think of what it means to have them
helping in the fight to down the only
man whom God has called to lead to
hosts of Zion against us!
Another matter that must be attend
ed to at once has to do with those Zion
Schools, which he appears determined to
establish. Do you realize what that will
mean to us should he succeed in his pur-
pose? Think of the children going to
school every day where the Bible and
Zion Literature are used for text books
Why, it would make our task of lead
ing them away from God infinitely hard
er; for | depend to quite considerable
extent on the text books that they use
now to do that work for me. And you
know that, apart from the Bible, there is
nothing that | hate like do that Zion
Literature. Why the harm that it has
done to my Kingdom is almost enough
to make a fiend weep, and right here I
adjure you to make use of every possible
means to keep it out of the hands of peo-
pie, and hinder the spreading of it.
"Now, I especially desire you to enlist
as many parents as you possibly can in
the fight against these Zion Schools, and
think of the reward that will be yours,
should you succeed in preventing the
starting of these schools, if only for an
other year.
"Think of the fendish joy of dragging
that boy or girl, which they think so
much of, right down to hell before their
eyes, and when they wiring their hands
and cry, oh! I did not think it would
mean that! You can be sure it will
make all the demons in He'll dance with
delight over your victory.
"Now, come to matter which may
not at first sight appear to have much
bearing in the upbuilding of Zion City,
but which really is of the greatest i'm
portance right along that line. I refer
to the General Overseer's campaign in
Chicago. If he continues the tactics,
which he has been using down there for
the past seven months, he is bound to
stir up that City. And let him once sue
! coed in doing that we will feel the effects
of it in every land under the Sun and
people all over the world will inquire the
way to Zion, with their faces thither-
ward.
cit would not matter so much if he
were not such man for advertising. I
thought I was all right when I got my
agents in the newspaper Offices to refuse
to print his subjects. But look what he
is doing with those NOTICES Really, in
some ways dread the effect of those no.
tees more than [ do the effect of his
preaching, for the simple reason that
they reach such multitude of people,
and | can see that they are having their
weight, too. Think, for instance of a
Jew taking those notices, and mailing
them out to his friends. I tell you it is
high time we got busy.
''You must do everything in your
power to discourage those fellows who
are putting out those notices and try
and get them to quit the job.-By the
way, I have another object in that, too,
because it is sure thing that if they are
not faithful in that which is least, they
