This issue of The Theocrat containing re-
port of the Christmas exercises of ZION
Schools, is an excellent paper to mail out over
the country. It can be had in quantity lots
at the following rates: 100 copies, $1.75; rs
copies, so cents; IL copies, rs cents. Do not
forget that both The TheOcr0t and the Leaves
of Healing can be mailed together in the
same roll for 1 cent postage.
It is our desire that every householder in
ZION CITY, married or unmarried, become
a subscriber for both the Leaves of Healing
and The Theocrat instead of buying them on
Lords Day. The papers are cheaper when
taken by subscription than when purchased
regularly; the subscriber also has the advan-
tage of receiving them by mail on Saturday.
Carols were sung over the city during the
early hours of Christmas morning by male

of The Bethel, on the principal street corners
of the city and in front of homes where sick
people were known to be.

The business of ZION Institutions and In
dustries Department Store on last Saturday,
was exceptionally satisfactory, in spite of the
fact that it rained all day, and indicates the
progress being made in all departments of

some other times, but the people who were
there had come for a definite purpose.
