LIVING FOR OTHERS

A nice Christmas dinner was given to the
old folks at The Bethel on Thursday evening,
December Fl, having been contributed by
friends. The General Overseer, Mrs. Voliva
and considerable number of the officers and
members of Zion were present.
After the dinner, pleasing program was
rendered by young people. At it's close the
General Overseer gave short address. He
spoke of the beauty of unselfishness-of the
need of being mindful of the aged, infrm
crippled, and unfortunate.
No one should ever speak slightingly, he
said, or in fun-making spirit of any one
having a physical deformity or dull OR
feeble intellect Righteousness brings its
own reward, sin it's own penalty" He related
the case of girl who made sport of another
girl whose face was paralyzed on one side;
shortly afterward she became afflicted in the
same way. In conclusion, he said that he
wished to live so that the epitaph might be
inscribed on his tombstone: "He lived for
Others"

NOTICE TO THE PUBLIC

The incoming parcel post mails, incidental
to the holiday business, were delayed from
two to three days, caused by the congestion
at the Chicago office The reason of this was
that the Chicago office was not able to get
cars to meet this emergency. Nearly all mail
trains were behind time Our patrons will
please be patient with us if they do not get
their parcels as soon as they would under
normal conditions.
The out going mails have been the largest
that this office has had in the last three years,
and have been dispatched on time each day.

DEPARTMENTS OF MUSIC, EXPIRES
SION AND ART OF ZION EDUCA-
TIONAL INSTITUTIONS

The establishment of ZION Schools on their
present basis is without question the greatest
of and most important forward movement
that ZION has ever made with reference to
her future. Very important branches of the
Educational Institutions are the Depart
ments of Music, Expression and Art. Like
the Junior and Preparatory Schools, all in
struction in these three departments is free.
The instruction in the Department of Music
includes voice, piano, violin, band and orches-
trail instruments, theory and composition; in
the Department of Expression is taught ex-
preston, public speaking, and poise; in the
Department of Art, all work in crayon, water
cOlors and OIL The work of the Department
of Music will soon be extended by the forma-
ton OF several adult classes for both day and
evening, in sight singing and ear training.
The above three departments have moved
from the College Building to the building
known as the Temple Cottage Annex, three
story building on Elijah Avenue, which af-
fords suitable home for these departments.
A corps of fourteen instructors is engaged in
these departments and their time is we'll filled
giving private instruction to the five hundred
and thirty-six students who have enrolled
All pupils are placed on the same footing
and all are receiving whatever instruction
they need or desire without any tuition, and
it will be but short time before the results
will be very materially felt in lions work.
The departments have ended the first three
months of their work, and all bids fair to
very profitable time for the remainder of the
School year. The semi-annual examinations
are to be held on Friday, December the
twenty NINTH and final examinations the lat
ter part of June.
Let ZION pray that the resources may
continue, so that the royal generation,
now growing will be equipped for every good
work, and the praises of God made glorious
in ZION.

"I WISH YOU A HAPPY CHRISTMAS
AND A GLAD NEW YEAR.

At the Zion Bible School, last Lords Day
forenoon, Deacon Clendinen, in speaking of
the Christmas season, referred to Nc
Cutcheon's cartoon in the Chicago Tribune
of a few days before, illustrating the differ
ence between what the artist termed "Mer-
ry Christmas" and "Cheery Christmas"
The first was represented by number of men
and women seated around table, drinking
wine; the second by lovely home in which
was seen Christmas tree, the father and
mother looking on with smiling faces, while
the little ones shouted with joy over their
presents. The idea brought out was that the
word merry" because of it's bad associa-
lions, does not fttingly express the true
Christmas spirit.
DR.. Dowie recognized this fact years ago
and taught Zion people to say: 81 wish you
happy Christmas and glad New Year."

quently, but always in unfavorable terms.
He says:
"Watching Apostle Royals method of
work, which was absolutely uncompromising,
got strong impression of a man of alb
solute honesty.
"My house being just opposite to his, we
started to visit each other and talk about the
Bible. He provided me with lot of Zion
literature and I saw that there was another
side about Zion and Dowie."

A JOB FOR HOMER.
BY Charles 8. priseoIl,

BY Charles 9. DriseoIL
II Homer were alive today.
! wonder what he'd write:
bet he wouldn't waste his time
On that old Trojan fight.
He'd find so many human things
All ready to his pen;
He'd chuck the Grecian goddess STUFF
And write OF mortal men.
The things that Homer's godesses
And Gods were wont to do
We're thought to be heroic then,
And somewhat graceful too.
But now II Homer were alive
He'd find that things worth while
Are done by men and women who
Have beat his gods mile
I think he'd write an epic verse
About the telephone:
4 sonnet to the gentleman
Who makes the ice cream cone,
He'd throw his Had away,
Forget the wars of Greece.
And write dcathless ode about
Tho land that lives in peace.
