LETTER FROM ELDER SMITH

MELBOURNE, AUSTRALIA.
May 1, 1916.
REV. WILBUR GLENN VOLIvA,
General Overseer, Christian Catholic
Apostolic Church in Zion, Zion City,
Illinois.
Beloved General Overseer:
''Peace to Theer'
By this mail have some very won
derful tidings to communicate to you.
and although an ocean divides us my love
for you is still very strong. My only
regret is that the distance between us
is SO great that am denied the pleasure
OF seeing you and also speaking to you
and telling you of all that has transpired
since [ last wrote to you.
God has indeed given to us very many
blessings and answered our prayers, and
day by day He has sent tokens of His
love and approval.
1t believe anything is worth praying
for, and can prove it is in accordance
with the Divine Will of God, my Heaven
ly Father, then once I make start to
pray | never cease praying until I can
check it off the list, even if it takes
years
Some requests are answered immedi-
ately; others in day or two; others in
a week, month, a year-and one re-
quest made ten years ago God has now,
His time being up, granted
He knoweth best when to answer
prayer.
Our Father answers prayer!
1t may not be my time, it may not be
your time, but yet, in His own time, our
Father answers prayer!
My heart has been made glad this last
month, and now will let you know how;
and without hesitation I say that your
heart will also be made glad.
On Lords Day, April 16, 1916, at our
afternoon service held in Temperance
Hall, Melbourne, in walked Elder Haw-
kins. He took his seat we'll up in the
front, and sat with bowed head as the
Choir in professional marched to their
respective places. He sat out the ser
vice which closed at 5:15 p. m.
When the time arrived for prayer
and | had received quite a number of
requests called out, elder Hawkins
will lead US in the general supplication"
He rose from his seat and offered up
to God one of the most beautiful prayers
for those dear ones who had sent in their
requests. At the close of his prayer the
Disciples Prayer was chanted by the
Choir, and I could distinct
ly hear the deep, deep voice of Elder
Hawkins as he joined in the chant.
After the service I had long talk
with him. He told me that the PRAYER
offered up to God in answer to my call
was the first time his voice had been
heard in public for ten years.
On Tuesday, April 18th, I received a
letter from him, asking for an interview.
Consequently | arranged with him for
Good Friday, at my home. I met him
at 200 p. M, and finished up at 6 80
p. m
We separated with the understanding
that we would meet each other on Easter
Sunday. | asked him if he would take

LETTER FROM ELDER VIKING

AoAAFA1NOAla1, OI1lNA
May 9, 1916.
Rev. WILBUR GLENN VoLIvA,
General Overseer, C. C. A. C. in Zion,
Zion City, Illinois, U. S. A.
Beloved General Overseer:
Apostle Royal left last Tuesday, the
Second of May, on a mission trip to the
north Of China, to be away about a
month.
That very day, at seven o'clock in the
evening, firing commenced on Helen
Terrace, and on North Szechuen Road
Extension, in front of the Terrace and
the Zion Tabernacle.
We were sitting down to supper when
we heard number of shots, but did not
realize what it was.
Miss Hosken soon rushed into our
house stating that one of her girls and
a woman helper had both been shot.
They had gotten into her house, but
two of the girls were missing. Then
looking through the windows we saw
some Chinese police running.
Watching an opportune moment Miss
Hosken ran back to her house. We then
extinguished our light, and as soon as
| could I went over to Miss Hosken's
house.
Her lights were then turned out all
window blinds shut. The wounded were
prayed for and helped upstairs.
Lois, fifteen years Of age, had four
bullet holes in her right arm-likely two
rifle bullets having passed through her
arm; and the bone was fractured.
When arrived at Miss Hosken's, she
said she had just heard that the two
missing girls had run into Mrs. Royals,
SO she felt no immediate concern about
them.
Iwent back home to see about my own
people.
| found another of Miss Hosken's
girls, Carol, about fifteen years of age,
terribly wounded, lying on quilt on the
floor in the entrance hall where the
Royals live; Mrs. Royal having made
her as comfortable as possible She had
been shot on Helen Terrace in front of
the Tabernacle. She had succeeded in
gaining the entrance, but fell right in
side the door,
The bone of her right arm was COM
pletely severed few inches from the
shoulder, and she has two bullet holes
in her backbone near each shoulder
blade
There were nineteen persons shot;
five or six having died.
SPECIAL NOTE BY THE GENERAL
OVERSEER:
Soon after this terrible affair hap
pened, we received a telegram, asking
for prayer.
We prayed, but did not know what
had happened
Zion everywhere, on reading this sad
news, will earnestly pray for Apostle
Royal and Elder Viking and their loved
ones, and for the dear ones who were so
terribly wounded.
May God in His great love and mercy
spare their lives and heal them.
Another letter, written by Mrs. Royal
and bearing the date Of May 9th, has
Just been received. Among other things,
Mrs. Royal writes:

HOW no BE THRIFTY.

The wise men of the nation, l see
are spreading broadcast counsel OF
thrift to the American housewife. ]
wish that before passing ON this coun-
sci they had consulted little with
retailers and manufacturers, and then
told us how, with rising prices, we
could cut expenses!
Il want q galvanized pail like the
20 cent one l bought a month ago"
Pals have gone up, ma'am. That
kind costs so cents now"
I'm looking for a mirror to match
a maple chiftonier What price is
this one?" -Four dollars, madam"
What! 81 for that little mirror?
bought one the same size for about
$2.5O." "Yes, but mirrors have gone
UP since the war;
Let me have two packages OF
these hairpins-2 for . cents, aren't
they?"
mo, they used to be. But now
they're a nickel apiece. Hairpms have
gone up since the war"
A learned business man explained
to me that certain comodities such
as galvanized iron. many chemicals,
steel and glass We're rising in price ow-
ing to the heavy demand abroad, But
still my feeble feminine mind cannot
grasp why that should affect the price
of hairpins, What do soldiers in the
trenches do with mirrors and hairpins
anyway?
In a shopping tour this week there
was only one salesperson out of 20
who did not remark that prices of the
particular thing | wanted had gone
up owing to the war. couldn't
match my yellow drapery because
there was no more supply-lack OF
dyes, you know. The cottage arm
chair cost SO more than last summer
because carpenters are getting 81
more a day. Sugar, of course is in
the aeroplane class, and if we are
willing to go without sweets, all the
same the necessities of butter and po-
tatoes weigh heavily upon our purse!
How can the housewife of today be
thrifty? viii it be by using less and
cutting down the family rations? Or
by substituting? But / see that some
substitutes cost more than originals? :?
Or will it be by better management?
Or will it be by ceasing the house
keeping struggle and surrendering to
the hotel man? No appreciable diff
ference is made in the bills of fare in
hotels and that is always a puzzle.
How do the commercial homes-the
hotels-manage to swing along so
carefree while the same old cost of
living weighs like a heavy millstone
around the neck of the consumer?
When all prices are nigh, thrift does
not seem possible.
But we wait in patient suspense for
the solution. You tell us to save our
paper and rags-but what can we do
if there is no ragman who will call to
cart away what we have packed care,
fully into bundles? What shall we
do with the old magazines when no
hospitals will send for them? Or
when 1t would cost us more to ship
these waste articles than their worth
even in a thrift campaign?
