FAREWELL SUPPER GIVEN BOYS
LEAVING FOR CAMP
&C. B. W.

A farewell supper was given, one evening last
week, to the Zion boys who have lately been
called into the National Army, under the draft
%, in all = at the home Of Deacon George
W. Wedekind, Oil Ezekiel Avenue.
After supper, Apostle Peckham gave talk to
the boys speaking especially on the spiritual
side of army life He exhorted them to stand
firmly for the principles of truth and right
eousness, thereby setting an example to others
around them All but two Of the young men
have been in Apostle Peckham's Bible class.
Conductor Thomas and Bandmaster New
conner also gave farewell talks to the boys,
practically all of whom have been connected
with the choir, band or other Zion musical or
ganizations Ralph Scharf, Leonard Bishop
and Rollie Hanni, who since then have reported
for service at Camp Grant, gave short talks in
response.
The General Overseer, in the course Of his
address in Shiloh Tabernacle the preceding
Lords Day, said that he did not want any Of
the boys to leave for camp without first coming
to his office to see him, as he wanted to present
each one of them with Bible and give them

logical course. When 20 years old he was or
dained to the ministry and began preaching in
Urbana, ILL.,
Gin 1898 he became interested in the ministry
of John Alexander Dowie, and went to Chicago
in February, 1899, to further study the work
Of this religious leader. He became member
Of the Christian Catholic Apostolic Church in
Zion and was ordained to the office Of elder.
DR.. Dowie placed him in charge of Chicago
branch, and from the start Voliva was success
full At the end of eleven months Dr. Dowle
transferred him to Cincinnati.
"Voliva's next field was hard one. He
went to Australia to take charge of the work
there. For period Of four years, Voliva toiled
in Australia. He built up strong branch in
Melbourne, ordained officers and established
branches in Sydney, Adelaide and other cities.
He also built up strong membership in New
Zealand. During his ministry in Australia,
Voliva sent 500 members Of the church to Zion
City, Ill.
''In 1905 DR.. Dowie's health failed him. He
cabled for Voliva to come to Zion City at once
and take charge Of the city and organization.

some good advice. He said that one of the
fundamental principles of Zion was obedience to
law and government; furthermore, he would
not fellowship anyone in the Christian Catholic
Apostolic Church in Zion who showed the slight
est disrespect for the President of the United
States, or the flag Of our country. He especi-
ally counseled the boys to instantly and cheer
fully obey every order issued by their officers,
and to show themselves worthy Of the training
they had received in Zion.
Three of the boys, Paul Short, Henry Offner
and Floyd Bennewaite left this week for JEFF
ferson Barracks near st. Louis, Missouri. They
were accompanied by Henry DeJonge, young
man from the Chicago Branch.

Spring Cleanup
(By N. J. LaRose, Commissioner of Health)

(By N. J. LoRose, Commissioner of Health)
The arrival of Spring reveals the condition of
back yards and alleys. During the winter, much
of the garbage and junk was dumped carelessly
in the back yard and alley. A general cleanup
is now ordered by the Health Department for two
principal reasons: First as a measure of pre-
venting disease and contagion; a dirty back yard
and kitchen will often breed diphtheria, typhoid
fever, malaria, and kindred diseases; Second
civic pride. All should desire their premises to
present a neat and clean appearance.
Every family should prepare two boxes or cans
at the alley. Into one of these, place all garbage;
in the other, refuse such as broken dishes, empty
cans, wire, and other junk. Do not throw these
things onto the ash pile. Ashes must be kept
separate and spread out in the alley in low places
During the last year great many new families
have moved into this city. To these, we would
say, you will be required to clean up your alleys
and back yards, and keep them so. If you have
Zion at heart there will be no trouble along this
line.
Do not wait for the Sanitary Inspector to come
along and remind you that your alley and back
yard is in bad condition, but get busy at once and
put them in shape.
The Scavenger and Garbage wagon will pass
through the alley on an average once week, and
give service to all outdoor toilet buildings, gar
bage cans, and junk that is in receptacle, but we
will not have time to gather up junk and other
refuse scattered in the alleys.

the exhortation is given to watch always every
day, every hour, every moment - all the time.
We do not hesitate to say emphatically that
the Word Of God makes it very plain that day
and an hour have been fixed for the coming OF
Jesus and, personally, we believe that the
Feast of Trumpets will be fulfilled by the COM
ing Of Jesus for the saints, and that it will be
followed by the Feast Of Atonement, and then
during the Millennium by the Feast of Taber-
nacles. The last of the seven Feasts of Jehovah
will be observed as outlined in the Fourteenth
Chapter of Zechariah.

plete breakdown and in September, 1905, suf-
fered stroke of paralysis. Financial Difficult
ties then loomed up, and when Voliva took con-
troll, the city was in financial chaos. A receiver
was appointed and the work was almost swept
out Of existence Voliva began the work Of
reconstruction, overcoming obstacles that would
have discouraged most men, and at last he re-
stored confidence in the members Of the Zion
Church and put the city on stronger footing
financially, educationally, and enthusiastically
than it had ever been.'

&C. B. W.

The period Of time between the Feast Of
Pentecost and the Feast of Trumpets may re-
present the unreckoned period the Church
period, which is parenthetical period.
That in the eternal councils Of the Godhead,
the month, the day, and the hour for the coming
of Jesus for the saints was fxed we have no
doubt The very fact that we have the follow
ing statement in Mark 13 :32 -"But Of that
day and that hour knoweth no man, no, not the
angels which are in heaven, neither the Son,
but the Father - shows conclusively that
there is a fixed day and fixed hour when the
Lord will come for the saints (the Rapture)
and when He will come with the saints (the
Revelation) - His coming in glory.
We have no sympathy whatever with the
teaching that Jesus may come at any time. But,
inasmuch as the Church has not known and
loes not now know the exact time Of His coming,

The Star, Of April %, also contained picture
Of the General Overseer with the following
biographical sketch:
'EWibur Glenn Voliva, General Overseer Of
the Christian Catholic Apostolic Church in Zion,
and successor to John Alexander Dowie, is to
visit Indianapolis. He will deliver two address
es in the Shubert-Murat Theater on Sunday,
April %, and will be assisted in the service by
semi-chorus, selected from the famous Zion
City White Robed Choir, numbering 500 voices.
Mr.. Voliva was born March 10, 1870, on a
farm near Newton, Fountain County, Indiana,
fifty-six miles east Of Indianapolis. He is the
son of James H. and Rebecca F. Voliva. His
father was an attorney and his legal business
occasionally brought him to Indianapolis. One
of the first trips Wilbur Glenn Voliva ever made
on train was from Hillsboro to Indianapolis,
when his father had some business to transact
in the Third Superior Court.
''In his boyhood days Voliva attended a little
country school, which he frequently refers to
as ''Mudhole Academy. few years later ne

age Of 19 entered Hiram College, o., where ne

FLIES

The fly season will be along as usual Screen
your windows and doors against flies and mos
quitos. These pests carry all manner of germs
and filth on their bodies and will drop them on
victuas and in the baby's milk, or anywhere about
the kitchen. This very thought is disgusting, and
should be avoided. Flies multiply very fast; so
keep your back yard and alley so clean that there
will be no place where they can hatch To this
end all manure piles must be removed from the
alleys at least once week during the summer
months. Keep tight cover over your Garbage
Cans.

SPECIAL NOTE BY THE GENERAL
OVERSEER

The above report is as accurate, all things
considered, as could be expected. However, lest
some readers should misunderstood, we append
the following explanatory note.
What was said relative to the Second Coming
of Jesus was as follows: That just as the Pass
over Feast foretold the month, the day, and the
hour of Christ S crucifxion; the Feast of First
fruits, the month and the day Of His resurrec-
tion the Feast of Pentecost, the time when the
Holy Spirit would descend; so the Feast of
Trumpets may foretell the month, the day and
the hour when Jesus will come for the saints.

But their very transparent and

Mr.. Folk had a bitter contest for the

later, although urged to do so by
many of his old-time supporters, he
refused to stand in the Senator's way.
