GET THE HABIT OF SAVING
100000 For Zion Institutions and
Industries

AT the special meeting Of co-workers
held in Shiloh Tabernacle, on Wednesday
evening, January &c, a savings plan was
outlined, which has been originated by
Deacon W. J. Bull, cashier of Zion Bank
and which offers a splendid opportunity
for not only every co-worker, in the var
lous institutions, but for every member Of
Zion, to start laying by certain amount,
at regular periods, to contribute toward
permanently building up Zion Institutions
and Industries.
The people were urged, by Deacon Glen
dinen, to GET THE HABIT OF SAVING.
Zone hundred thousand dollars for Zion
Institutions and Industries, is the slogan
OF the new plan, which looks to the en-
larging OF the various institutions, and the
giving of employment to many more peo-
pie. By taking hold and contributing in
this manner, every one can have part in
the building Of Kingdom of God city.
The main idea Of the plan is that the
depositor agrees to leave with Zion Bank,
certain amount monthly for twelve con-
secutive months, at the end of which time
he agrees to leave the total amount de-
posted, with interest, as an investment in
Zion Institutions and Industries, taking a
note for three years, bearing interest at
6 per cent. per annum.
By communicating with Zion Bank every
member Of Zion, no matter where situated,
may have an opportunity to come in on
this plan

ZION S TEACHING AGAINST SWINE S
FLESH HARD TO TALK AGAINST.
SAYS WAUKEGAN SUN

The following extract is from an article
which appeared in the Chicago Evening
Post, Of January 20:
Zone out Of every ten persons who die
morten examination, to have been suffer
ing from trichinosis, the disease that fills
the muscles with worms, and is caused by
eating raw or only partly cooked pork &C
cording to the statement Of Clayton T.
Smith, warden Of the institution. It was
this disease that brought about the deaths
of Paul Stankevich and his IL year old
daughter Rose, in the county hospital.
Aleck Stankevich, years old, and another
son, Edward, years old, are in the same
hospital, and doctors are striving for their
lives. The symptoms Of the disease are
much the same as those of rheumatism,
said Warden Smith FThe muscles swell
and pain, and in some instances become so
sore that they cannot be even touched i"
In commenting upon this article, the
editorial writer Of the Waukegan Sun,
has the following pointed comments to
make
cts known fact that too many people
are not careful enough about cooking pork
until the danger is eradicated, and one
cannot help but think somewhat with the
Zionites, that it s taking a chance in using
anything which requires excessive caution
before it is made safe to eat. In other
words, the poison must be eradicated be-
fore one can safely put the meat into ones
stomach. This is one thing in Zion teach
ings which it hard to talk very strongly
against"
1t is generally conceded that Dr. Dowie
was the pioneer who fearlessly blazed the
path for a reform along this line, as well
as against many other popular evils. In
a voice which rang through every part Of
the country, and throughout the entire
civilized world, he condemned swine's
flesh as an abomination, and unfit for hui
man food
People jeered and ridiculed, but, at the
same time, many began to think; they dis
covered that his position was substan-
tiated by the Investigations Of science. It

MOTHER KING NOW WITHIN TWO
YEARS OF CENTURY MARK
Celebrated Her 98th Birthday on Lord S
Day, January %, 1916-Able to do
Finest Needlework Without
Aid of Glasses

Mrs. Della King, commonly known as
Mother King" passed her min e ~
eighth milestone in life, on Lord s Day,
January % Her friends celebrated the
event by sending her a postal shower
The General Overseer, with his daughter,
Ruth, Apostle and Mrs Darms, and Mrs.
Dexter S. King, Of Cincinnati, Ohio, took
dinner with her the previous day, at Zion
Home
This aged Mother in Israel, although
near the century mark, is in excellent
health and her eyesight is unimpaired.
She stands as living witness to Gods
healing and keeping power. She was one
Of the first persons healed through the
ministry Of DR. Dowie, in 1888, after his
landing in America, at San Francisco.
Mother King was slowly dying at that
time, of malignant cancer, which had
eaten two holes through her tongue She
could not bite piece Of bread, and was
suffering constant pain. Three well known
physicians had examined her case, and all
had pronounced it cancer. At mission
held in Oakland, California, the prophet
Of God laid hands on her, "In the Name
Of the Lord Jesus, in the power Of the
Holy Spirit, and in accordance with the
will of God, our Heavenly Father" and
she was perfectly healed.
Three and half years ago Mother
King came to Zion City, to make this her
permanent home. She still retains the
same habits of industry which have char
acterized her through life She is famed
for her skill at needle-work, and can do
the finest sewing and knitting without the
aid of glasses. Since coming to Zion City
she has made II beautiful patchwork
quilts, having total value Of $3.50 She
is at present engaged in knitting a pair of
silk gloves.
Every Lords Day finds Mother King,
attired in her officers robe of spotless
white, occupying her place in Shiloh
Tabernacle, having missed but one Lord s
Day since coming to Zion City, except on
two occasions when she accompanied the
General Overseer to the Chicago meetings.
On last Lords day-her birthday-she
travelled the distance Of 81 miles, going
and coming from Zion City to Chicago,
and stood before large audience in Cen
trail Zion Tabernacle, giving lengthy tes-
timony of Gods goodness, and power to
heal.
Mother King is the mother Of nine
children, five Of whom are living, one
daughter being in her eightieth year. She
has seventeen grandchildren, and fifteen
great grandchildren.

Zion people are especially requested to
help and cooperate in this work, by phon-
ing in any matter of interest that may
come to their attention. They can be Of
great aid in this way, in making the paper
newsy and interesting. A call on phone
20 is all that is necessary.
We find that the Worlds News depart
ment is read by many people, with great
interest. We learn that business men,
here and there, who are not members Of
Zion, are eager to read The Theocrat each
week, because Of the fact that they can
CLEAN from it's columns the very gist Of all
matters Of Importance, more quickly and
readily than from any other source. This
department will be maintained at it's pres
ent high standard; at the same time we
also desire to give the Local News depart
ment proper attention.
We find that people, especially those on
the outside, are hungry to know what
transpires at headquarters, and we shall
make it point to write up, in condensed
FORM each week, every event of general
interest, so far as we are able to gather
the information
In doing this we shall confne ourselves
strictly to facts, as that is the only way to
conduct a Kingdom of God paper. Mis-
representation and "hot-air" will be care
fully eliminated; at the same time credit
will be given where credit is due. True
Zion people will always remain on the level
of the plain, common hard working class.
Fulsome fattery will never be given a
place in this paper; however we believe
that a simple word Of commentator and
encouragement, is at times, perfectly
proper.
Zion people, as class, are steady, hard
working lot, each one attending closely to
his duties. There may be weeks when but
little out Of the ordinary takes place; but
it is our object to briefly make reference
to whatever occurs that is worthy of men

of sensational and spectacular stuff will
not be written up simply to fill up space,
and satisfy the morbid taste which some
people may have for that sort Of thing
We do not believe the true Zion people
want that.
Zion Institutions have had a steady
growth, and an effort has been made to
organize them on a careful, permanent,
conservative basis. Facts and figures show
for themselves. In referring to them from
time to time, no effort will be made to give
anyone an exaggerated idea in regard to
their Importance. However, a plain sim
pie narrative Of their rise and growth,
forms, in itself, one Of the most wonder
full and marvellous stories in the history Of
a Christian people. In regarding them we
can only exclaim, "What hath God
wrought"

GOOD ROADS MEETING IN ZION CITY
Do it Yourself" Sentiment of Meeting
Away With the Historic Mud Holes
of Illinois

A meeting of the Lake County Good
Roads Association was held in the College
Building, at 1 80 P. NJ January 81. The
meeting was attended by about $50 per-
sons, many Of whom came from Waukegan,
Libertyville, Gray Lake, Antioch, and sew
eral other points in the county.
Among the speakers were R. B. Smith,
of Libertyville, president of the Lake
County Good Roads Association; w. G.
Eden, assistant secretary Of the Central
Trust Company Of Illinois, chairman of the
good roads committee Of the Illinois Bank
ers' Association, and president Of the AS
ISOLATED Roads organization of Chicago
and Cook County Mr.. Gordon A. Ramsay
Chicago attorney, chairman Of the Sher-
idan Road Improvement Association; Fl.
B. Eyer, Of Libertyville, chairman Of the
Lake County board Of supervisors; Rich
ard N. Magill, Of Waukegan, secretary Of
the Lake County Good Roads Association
and Secretary-Manage Of the Waukegan
Commercial Association; W. Hurd Glen
dinen, Mayor of Zion City, and General
Manager of Zion Institutions and Indus
tries, and o. w. Farley, of Zion City.
The object Of the association, and of the
meeting in Zion City, was to create and
agitate an interest in favor of better roads
throughout the county; also to stimulate
sentiment that will extend to the other
counties in the state, and finally through
out the entire state Much interest and
enthusiasm was evinced. The keynote Of
the meeting was this: "Do it YOURSELF;
also, "Kill the Sentiment which seeks to
Preserve the Historic Mud Holes of Il
linois"
Sheridan Road, the main thoroughfare
Of Zion City, came in for no small amount
of discussion. There is probably no strip
of road in this section of the country, so
much in need Of improvement, as the one
between Zion City and Kenosha, and it is
hoped that the meeting will result in the
speedy improvement Of this highway.
The Lake County Good Roads Associ-
alton is a voluntary movement. It was
organized only last October, and acts in
no official capacity, except in so far as its
recommendations, suggestions of ways and
means, and other data, are accepted by
the state officials. It's object is to create
a sentiment sufficiently great, in the local
unit, to influence the voters, and thus at
tain it's desired end.
One very feasible suggestion was adj
vanced by Mr.. H. B. Eyer, of Libertyville,
which was to do away with the present
system of appointing three township road
commissioners, and replace them by one
permanent road man, the duty of whom
would be to maintain and care for the
The theocrat. [volume] (Zion City [i.e. Zion], Ill.) 1914-1949, 1916-01-29

particular strips Of road committed to his
care, and who would be continually 'on
the job" This would eliminate the for
mality Of having to wait until the joint
commissioners could get together and pass
upon them, before needed improvements
or repairs could be made.
