The theocrat. [volume] (Zion City [i.e. Zion], Ill.) 1914-1949, 1919-08-23


Educational Department of the organized
work in Zion. 1t it just as necessary that
there should be Zion College Building as
that there should be Shiloh Tabernacle
In this building lions Educational Institu-c
tlons are all housed and taken care of under
the direct supervision of the General Over
seer and the Ecclesiastical Department.
Next to delivering Of the testimony now
due on the platform of Shiloh Tabernacle
and through the literature is the need of
properly instructing and training the chill
dren and youths of the Theocracy.
If this is the Devils age and world (and
it certainly is) if the churches are apostate
(and they certainly are) if they are no
longer owned and blessed of God (and
they are not); if both State and Church
schools are unsafe places in which to send
Zion boys and girls then all Zion, Gods
miniature Theocracy, must see the present
hour necessity of our own Theocratic
Schools, and, as one man, we must rally to
their support as never before
In the legislatures, congresses and parla-
ments outside, in the Devils world. they
are introducing bills and passing acts for
bidding the Bible to be read in the public
and other schools, prayer to be offered and
| the Name of Jesus Christ to be mentioned.
In the so-called church schools and uni
vers1t1es, 1t is not much better; there "the
faith once for all delivered to the saints"
is being undermined by the steady and per-
slstent wish-wash of Evolution and Higher
| Criticism
You cannot have the Theocracy without
God, His Son the Supreme Theocrat. His
associated Ecclesiastical officers, the Educa-
tlonal and all other kind of business and
community cooperative arrangement.
The Iheocracy must, therefore, have, and
make large use of the Bible, the Word
and Rules of the Theocracy.
| In the Theocracy in Zion, the Word of
God is given first place. It becomes the
| principle textbook in the Educational In
stitutions.
In these schools, prayer to God the Father
in Jesus Name is daily offered in chapel
exercises. The Word of God is daily read
and studied in the classes, under competent
instructors. The pupils pass an examina-
ton in the Bible the same as they do in
any other textbook. In the Theocracy and
! its Educational Department Jesus the Christ
and the Word of God are duly recognized.
In the Theocracy all business is con-
Quoted on the cooperative basis. All the
profits above legitimate expenses are used
| for the glory of God and for the extension
OF the Theocracy = the knowledge of God
and His Rule among men.
The business is summed up in various
Institutions and Industries - all under
general manager and each one under Sub
manager.
God has most wonderfully prospered and
blessed these Institutions and Industries.
This is as it will be in the Millennium.
The Theocracy will also have its Politi-
cal Department. In the Theocracy there
can be no Democrats, Republicans, "Bull
Moosers', Prohibitionists, Women's Rights
men and women. Each and every member
of the Theocracy will be Theocrats only.
All-will live, act, pray, vote and work for
the glorv of God and the honor of the Su-
preme Theocratic King, Jesus the Christ
He and His Plan, Word and Will should
be the only consideration Thus. in all
political matters, every man and woman will
vote and work in perfect harmony - as
one person.
ZION, the Theocracy of God and not
self-interest, will be the first and chiefea
consideration
In the Christian Catholic Apostolic
Church in Zion, and here in the City of
Zion, Illinois, U. S. A., may be found Gods
present day Theocracy. Here the principles
of the Word of God and its Rules for everv
day living = the Rules of the Theocracy =
are put in operation, are sought to be lived
out and demonstrated before perverse gen
Grafton, crooked nation, and a scohine
gainsaying world.
All real Theocrats in the whole world
are invited yea, wanted. None others need
apply, or seek to come hither.
