If you want to catch the real Christmas spirit, make a visit tot \ Toyland. A. It is there; a delightful and V powerful spirit that makes each X J one of us the same age. N For we are all children in Toy land; and we all have wonderful
 fun there.
 Grownups skip back to the days of boyhood and girlhood as they watch lit tie children. It takes but minute to grow young again. Isn't it strange how much enjoyment we men and women get from dolls and dolls carts and tiny furniture and trains that whiz and guns that actually shoot
 Don't we almost envy the boys and girls all the fine Christmas gifts we see spread around
 "When I was a boy, how I would have jumped over such a sled as that flyer I never dreamed of a machine gun, when I was little fellow. Great Scott; here is a real pool table for the boys to play on at home'! So moralizes Uncle Bill.
 Mother and Aunt May get just as much delight from the sets of dishes, and the little chairs, and the really truly desks, and the cradles, and the china cabinets
 Toyland is wonderful land, a magic land
 Everything there is Make-Believe and yet is Really-Truly!
 What joy and delight it is going to send into Bridgeport homes How much help it is going to be to all the helpers in Santa Claus work !!
 If you are helper (and of course you are) it is at your service. You'll want to come first with those little folks

ELDER ROBBINS, AT RALLY, TELLS OF
WORK IN NEBRASKA
&C. B. W.

Elder Robbins returned to Zion City this week
after few months field work in Nebraska
In speaking Of his trip, at the Wednesday
night rally, he said that he intensely enjoyed the
work and that it was great trip.
While away, he visited every house in Bridge
port, Baird, and considerable portions of other
towns He took about fifty or sixty subscrip-
tions for Leaves of Healing, and sold and distri-
buted considerable amount Of literature
He found the Nebraskans fine lot Of people,
hospltable and big-hearted. Those answering
him rudely were the very rare exception, but
everywhere people treated him kindly and were
glad to listen to him. He says that he believes
he could remain whole year in Nebraska with
out paying a cent for board if he cared to do So
Several families gave him warm invitation to
come and stay with them indefinitely
Wherever he went, he found one here and
there who was seeking to live godly life in
world filled with iniquity. One old lady who
prayed and read her Bible every day told him
she did not belong to any church, as she could
not conscientiously mix in with the dancing,
pleasure-loving church goers She and they
had nothing in common
In one home where the Elder stayed for time,
there was an old gentleman, eighty-three years
of age = a faithful, conscientious Christian who
had lived a consistent, God-fearing life among
the cowboys in the pioneer days, but who
smoked his pipe continually
They read the Bible and prayed together, and
one day the old gentleman asked the Elder if
tobacco smoke was offensive to him. The Elder
replied, yes it was as-very much so. The old
man then said that if he knew it was offensive
to God he would stop using it. The Elder re-
Piled "Well, you pray over it and ask God to
show you" Soon after, the old gentleman quit
square off.
The Elder went away for about two weeks,
and when he came back the man told him that
the desire for tobacco had completely left him
that as soon as he realized that it was dis
pleasing to God, he cared no more for it - and
he had smoked practically all his life
In most places the Elder found the towns hon
eycombed with Christian Science. Tn one town,
nearly all the head men belonged to this sect
But in that same town he found people who, af-
ter reading the General Overseer's sermon in
The Leaves of Healing exposing Christian
Science, told him they thanked God their eyes
had been opened before they became hopelessly
entangled in it's false teaching
AS result of his work. many families in Neb-
raska today are reading the Leaves of Healing
and the other Zion literature The seed has
been sown. The harvest rests with God

ZION BAND TAKES PART I'M DECORATION
DAY EXERCISES

Zion Band took part in the told veterans
parade at Waukegan, Illinois, on the afternoon
of Decoration Day.
The parade was led by the band from the
Great Lakes Naval Station In line were the
G. A. R. veterans, large number of Jackies
from the naval station, the Zion Band, the
Drum and Fife Corps, the Waukegan High
School Band, and various other organizations
The parade passed through the principal
streets of the city, winding up at the Court
House square, where the Naval Band played two
selections within the enclosure surrounding the
Old Soldiers Monument, during the ceremonies
After the departure of the Naval Band, the
Zion Band also played two selections within the
enclosure, after which they were requested to
lead the parade to the Armory Building, where
In connection with ceremonies they played
yankee Doodle, together with the Drum and
Fife Corps.
At p. m. the Zion Band boys were compelled
to leave because of an engagement at Camp
Logan. Arriving there shortly before p.m
they marched around the grounds, afterwards
giving an open air concert.
AT the lowering Of the flag, the Zion Band
played "The Star Spangled Banner;'' every
Jackie on the grounds standing at Salute

CASH IN ADVANCE PLAN ON
SUBSCRIPTIONS

A few very good people think it strange that
we do not continue sending their Leaves of
Healing and Theocrat after their subscriptions
have expired. They expect us to keep right on
sending their papers, telling us they will pay
later at their convenience.
This is strictly against the sound business
policy adopted at the outset by John Alexander
Dowie, founder Of Leaves of Healing and Zion
publications. Every one is expected to pay in
advance, and when the subscription expires it is
stopped unless promptly renewed. This is sim
ply matter of business, not personal affront
to anyone.
If we followed the credit system on the Leaves
of Healing and Theocrat we would have to

employ large extra staff of clerks to handle
the accounts, and there would be no end of con-
fusion; as it is, a small force handles it with
comparative ease
Well, but someone says, / have been sub
scrlber Tor twenty years, and you ought to make
an exception in my case
No, we have no favorites. If we allow you to
break over the rules in this respect others will
have just as good right to expect the same
privilege. Our aim is to treat all alike, and we
expect you to show your loyalty by respecting
the rules and cooperating with us. Then, every
thing will be done "decently and in order''
We believe that you will see the point
