at Oakland, California, under DR.. Dowie's
ministry, in 1885,
The inception of the work in Chicago was
illustrated by a beautiful drawing of the Little
Wooden Hut" executed by Miss Susanne Bag
ley, teacher Of Art in Zion Schools. 1t was so
realistic and natural that one could imagine
he were looking at the actual building itself.
AS showing the progress of the work in Chi
cago, twenty two children of the First and
Second Grades, dressed in the garb of officers,
represented the Seventies. AS they stood on
the platform, before starting on work, each
captain consulted map Of his district, and
nothing could have exceeded the earnest digni-
lty Of his manner. Messages were distributed to
each worker; they then marched sedately off
the platform and down the aisles on each side,
handing out messages among the audience Dur
ing the entire time the Preparatory Chorus sang
the Conservation Hymn, "In Go Where You
Want Me To Go, Dear Lord" Later, the
school sang, "The Church's One Foundation T"

rousing air. Marching into the band stand
they stood and played, while long procession

THE ESTABLISHMENT OF ZION CITY

AS showing the Establishment of Zion City,
a beautiful archway was brought upon the plat
form across the top Of which was inscribed,
Jehovah Hath Founded Zion" Beneath, in
large letters, were the Words ''Open Ye the
Gates'' On either side was a shield, the one
reading, 81 Will Bring You To Zion" and the
other, "Christ Is All and In ALL"
AS the gates were opened wide, large COM
1pany Of children marched through, each bear
ing the name Of state or foreign country.
For instance, one represented Ohio, another
Mississippi, another Switzerland, another Eng
land, and so on The parents of each child
taking part had moved to Zion City from the
state or country designated.
In the company were representatives OF all
trades and professions For instance, some were
carpenters, others machinists, some teachers,
etc. AS they thronged through the gates, the
school singing, "We're Marching To Zion,"
they came face to face with beautiful figure
Of Zion clothed in the 'whole armour of God,
impersonated by one of the Eighth Grade girls.
On her forehead she wore the Helmet of Sal
vation in her hand she carried the Sword Of the
Spirit, and at her side the Shield of Faith. Her
loins were girt about with Truth; she wore the
Breastplate of Righteousness, and her feet were
shod with the preparation of the Gospel of
Peace.
After the pupils had passed before her, pre-
senting their gifts and talents, consecrating
them ito Gods work in Zion, they formed in
group and sang, ''Take My Life and Let 1t Be. -
The school then repeated in unison the Fif-
teenth Psalm, describing Citizen of Zion, af-
ter which the entire school arose and sang the
hymn, "Arise and Shine, o Zon,' the words
of which are by Evangelist Shumaker and the
music by Vice President Darms.
