Why Not Enact the Bennett Law
Again!

The message of Secretary Lane
to the President and the Senate
and House Committee on Edu-
cation brings out some most
star thing facts as to the extent of
illiteracy in this country. Mr..
Lane states that in 1910 there
were more than FIVE and a half
million persons lover ten years
of age who were unable to read
or write in any language.
There are now nearly 100000
men of draft age in the United
States who are registered, who
cannot read or write in English
or any other language. Since
the first of April, 1917, there has
been drafted INTO the American
army 10000 men who cannot
sign their names, cannot read
orders posted on camp bulletin
boards, cannot study their manu-
al of arms, cannot read or write
their own letters, cannot under-
stand the flag signals of the Sig
nal Corps in time of battle.
Secretary Lane says that if these
FIVE and a half million persons
were stretched In a double line
at intervals of three feet and
were to march past the White
House at the rate OF twenty-five
miles a day it would take two
months for them to pass. Over
ffty-eight percent are white per-
sons and of these l, 100000 are
native born whites. He further
says that 100000, or ten per
cent of our country folk cannot
read or write word.

AMERICAS OBJECT.

1.-The object of this war is to deliver the free
peoples of the world from the menace and
the actual power of a vast military establish
ment which, baving secretly planned to dom
mate the world. proceeded to carry the plan
out without regard either to the sacred obi
cations of treaty or the long established
ternatiOnal action and honor; which chose it's
own time for the war; delivered its blow
either of law or of mercy; swept whole con-
tinent within the tide OF blood-nOt the blood
of soldiers only, but the blood of innocent
women and children also and of the helpless
poor: and now stands baked but not defeat
ed, the enemy of fOur-ffths of the world =

You have presented yourselves here for the
Right-Hand of Fellowship-as candidates for
membership in the Christian Catholic Apostolic
Church in Zion. This would indicate that the
Holy Spirit through the Word of God, has
touched your spirits, and you, as free moral
agents, have surrendered to God and turned
your backs on the world the flesh and the devil
It would indicate that you do not wish to stand
alone but to unite with us as body of Chris
tians.
''The Christian Catholic Apostolic Church in
Zion is very different organization from any
other It means something to come into this
church. You can be Methodist, Presbyter-
ian or Baptist or any other apostate, and be
dancer, card player, theatre goer and an
all-round hypocrite.
These organizations are apostate. They
are corrupt from center to circumference
The call to Gods true children in these or
CARNATIONS is to come out from among them
and be separate. While we do not claim per-
lection, there is one thing certain-that when
you come into this church you are not uniting
with a lot Of dancers, card players or theatre
goers. If it comes to my knowledge that there
is any one in this organization who does these
things he will be expelled from membership
unless he repents.
Nov, you must have some reason for coming
into Zion rather than uniting with Methodists,
Baptists or Presbyterians. I believe that God
has raised up Zion for men and women who are
heartsick and weary Of apostasy and goddess
ness. May God help us to realize what glo-
rious heritage is ours!
$50 far as you know your own hearts. can
you say that you have repented Of all sin; that
you have made right the wrongs Of your life,
and as God by the Holy Spirit brings them to
mind will you make them right with your fell
lowmen?
do you realize that the government of this
church is a Theocracy? Do you believe in the
rule OF God, and that the Bible is the guide
book? Every man ought to be subject to the
rule of God
In this church we have leadership; we have
order and system, not anarchy. Any man who
We have perfect liberty to do anything that is
We haveperfect liberty to do anything that is
right
May God keep you steadfast is my prayer. :"

CITY PURCHASE NEW AUTO FIRE TRUCK
AND ENGINE
&C. B. W.

In up to date towns and cities over the
country the auto fire truck and engine has sup
planted the horse drawn apparatus of few years
ago.
The advantages are obvious. Even the best
trained horses move at comparatively slow rate
OF speed and give out on long run, especially
II the roads are heavy. A high power auto truck
will plow swiftly through bed roads, in Spring
or Winter, where horses would fall from exhaus-
ton.
The City of Zion because of the spacious man
ner in which it is laid out and the long distance
to its extreme limits, has been especially in need
of a fire equipment which would insure prompt
service to residents living in the outlying portions
This difficulty has been solved by the purchase
of REQ combination chemical and hose truck
thirty five horse power engine. the engine
truck and equipment all being in one body in
stead of in different parts The chemical tank
proper has capacity Of forty gallons adj
ditional tank which is attached carries thirty :
five gallons, making total capacity of Is gallons
Of acid. Other equipment consists of four hand
extinguishers and two pyrene extinguishers. The
truck carries 1000 feet of hose
In tests of speed this new combination fire
truck and engine has been able to reach the near
est portions of Section II in about three minutes
from the time of leaving the fire station and the
most remote portions in about four minutes. 1t
has been tested in raniest weather. and by putting
chains on all four wheels went right through clay
soil, where there were no roads, without trouble
While we cannot say that conditions might not
arise in which it would be impossible to reach
desired destination promptly, such as the I'M
precedented SHOWS of last winter when even the
most powerful fire engines of the larger cities
we're helpless, it is safe to say that it will plow
through mud or snow at a good rate of speed
where horses would fail.
This gives the City of Zion fire equipment
complete in every way.

A Rallying of the Zion
Forces
&C. B. W.

The service held in Shiloh Tabernacle last
Lords Day marked red-letter event In Zion s
history 1t was general rally of Zion s forces.
Seldom has more beautiful service been held
in Zion, and the most intense interest and en-
thusiasm was shown throughout
AS the Professional and Recessional were
sung. the Junior White ROBBED Choir, the Senior
White ROBBED Choir, the ROBBED Officers and the
Uniformed Guard were in line of procession.
Not only the White Robed Choir, assisted by
the pipe organ, but the Zion Orchestra and the
Zion Senior Band contributed in making this a
rousing service.
The following grand old hymns were sung,
at interims, by the entire audience, accom-
panied by all the musical organizations:
We're Marching to Zion
Hail to the Brightness Of lions Glad Morn
ing.
Zion Stands With Hills Surrounded
I Stand on lions Mount.
There's Not Friend Like the Lowly Jesus
Deeper Yet.
It May Not Be on the Mountain Height.
(Consecration Hymn)
When Upon Life's Billows You Are Tempest
Tossed.
Count Your Blessings)
When the Roll Is Called Up Yonder.
Will There Be Any Stars in My Crown?
Saved By Grace.
[ Surrender All.
One of the most interesting features Of the
service was the reproduction upon graphophone
records of addresses by John Alexander Dowie
founder. under God, of the Christian Catholic
Apostolic Church in Zion.
In referring to these records, the General
Overseer said:
'sThese are words spoken by DIR. Dowie in

voice is his voice, readily recognizable to any

 British writer's deporing the fact that it would be improper during the to have elaborate ceremonies point to the contrast between the feeling of anmosty to- ward the German George of the eighteenth century and the attitude of the people toward the present king The bitterness toward George IT, has lost nothing in the re- telling of conditions of that time
