In lots OF 100 or more, DC each
In lots of 1000 or more, 4c each
In order to give these tracts wide circu-
lation, we will allow number of people to
go in together on a club and purchase 100
copies or more, no one person taking less
than 10 copies. For instance, ten persons
purchasing 100 tracts together, each taking
10 copies, would get them at cents each.
Some one person, however, would have to be
selected to do the buying or ordering for all
concerned, paying for all the tracts at the
same time.
Zion Employment Bureau has received a
number of applications within the past week
from persons in various parts of the country,
who are planning to move to Zion City. No
one, coming here at the present time, need
experience any difficulty in finding employ
ment, provided they are willing to take what
ever is open. There is need for more CO.
workers in several institutions Of course,
these persons may not find just the kind of
work they are accustomed to doing at the be-
ginning, but Deacon Sach will endeav0r to
assist them to get into their proper sphere as
quickly as possible We find that usually the
most valuable people in Zion are those who
are willing to put on old clothes and work at
the humblest tasks, if necessary. People of
that kind amount to something In Zion all
work is honorable; it is all for the honor and
glory of God We would advise all persons
who are planning to move to Zion City to
open UP correspondence at once with A. E.
Sach Manager, Zion Employment Bureau.
The first edition of the book, "The Present
Great World Crisis" by Elder Willis F. Jor-
dan, consisting of 5000 copies, was sold out
several weeks ago. The second edition, con-
ssting of 10000 copies is now on sale. Al
though larger book than the first, the price
remains the same rs cents copy. Three
cents is required in mailing, while but two
cents was needed for the first. This book
sells at 20 cents each in lots of IL or more, or
Is cents each in lots Of SO or more. AS pre-
viously explained in The The0crGt, persons
clubbing together and taking so or more
books, can get them at Is cents each; how
ever, no one person is allowed to take less
than five copies on this plan.
The brick building Immediately north of
Zion Department Stores was purchased by
Zion on April II, and is being remodeled
The interior also is being refinished and
changes will be made in the appearance of
the front. This building, the purchase of
which marks another onward step in the
redemption of Zion City, will be occupied by
the Heating, Plumbing and Metal Working
Department of Zion Stores, the growing bust
ness of which has rendered change impera-
tive.
All Choir Members, Attention! Relative
to the service to be held next Lords Day in
Chicago, all members desiring to do Seventy
Work in the forenoon will take the car at
a. M at the Salem Boulevard station, leaving
over the Chicago, North Shore and Milwau-
kee Electric Railway. The orchestra and
members of the choir not doing Seventy
Work will leave over the same road at 9 a. m.
All cars will go right through to their desti-
nation, and no change will be made at Evans
ton, thus eliminating very disagreeable fea-
ture.
The office of the American Express Com
pany has been moved from the corner of Eli
jah Avenue and Shiloh Boulevard to the brick
building at the northeast corner of Elijah
Avenue and 9th street, the change being due
to a steadily increasing business The new
quarters are not only larger and more COM
modious, but more centrally located, thus af-
fOrding greater convenience to the public.
The agent, Deacon J. H. Paxton, who was
absent from the office for several weeks TAX
ing the first rest in several years, is back at
his old post.
The reader will notice that the usual order
followed by local papers in general, of start
ing the Local column with the shortest items,
and widening out to the lengthiest at the end,
has been reversed this week in The Theocrat.
We believe that the form, herewith presented
for the first time, is the proper and logical
arrangement Zion does not follow in any
ruts or beaten paths, and never hesitates to
strike out and blaze trail through the wild,
whenever reason requires
