business, if he is not in sympathy with
our views?
If he wishes to smoke or drink that is
his privilege; but let him go where such
things are permissible, and not come here
and pollute the atmosphere where it is
forbidden not only by the municipal
laws but by the will of the majority Of
the people.
Is not that fair enough? And we are
glad to say that dozens and scores of
men, after coming here and learning the
true situation, have shown their manhood
and sense of fair play by leaving and
refusing to violate the wishes of Our citi-
zens-by leaving and refusing to be the
tools of the little bunch of interlopers
who have come in here for commercial
purposes a gang who would like to wrest
the control of the community out of the
hands of the religious body of people who
transformed it from stretch of prairie
land into a wholesome, thriving, God
fearing little city; gang which has been
licked to a standstill in every move they
have made to damn this city and use it
for their own sordid ends; gang which
is now turning to others like a lot Of
weaklings, trying to get them to fight
their battles, and act as a cats paw in
pulling their chestnuts from the fire;
gang which has repeatedly shown in the
past that they will not stop at anything
in order to accomplish their purposes;
gang which would overthrow Zion, if
they could, and drive us out of Our own
city which we established as place of
refuge in these Goddess times, where we
can rear our families amid pure environ
ments, and where we can have our
schools in which the Word of God is
read and taught
These fellows will find as in all other
fights in the past, that we have God Al
mighty behind us, and He never has
failed faithful people.

put selfish motives and~desires in the
background, and give their attention to
the establishment of city which would
be an object lesson to the world People
came here from all parts of the earth,
some of them for distance of 10000
miles, to be away from the damning vices
and influences to which they had been
accustomed
No one can defeat Gods eternal pur-
poses. Just so surely as God ordained
and founded Zion, will the work go for
ward.
The world is wide There are tens of
thousands of towns and communities in
America where people desiring the Gus
tomary environments, can find full oppor-
tunltles to enter upon business or pro-
fessional career. Then why try to hinder
or discourage a community of Christian
people who are seeking to carry out the
principles for which they came here to
live? Why try to blight or destroy the
one city in the world today, in which
Theocracy rules, and which was intended
as an institutional city?
Surely it will be conceded by any fair
minded individual that Zion people have
right to control the city which they
founded and built at the expenditure Of
great toll and sacrifice 1t is the only
city in the world in which the majority
of the people are opposed to the use of
tobacco, to liquor drinking, profanity,
theaters, moving picture shows, dance
halls and all other evils.
The principle Of democracy is that the
majority shall rule. Why should this
principle apply in all other cities Of the
land and be denied to Zion community
Would not any man with a sense of
honor and common decency respect the
rights and privileges Of Zion people here
and refuse to intrude his presence in this
city by coming here to live or engage in

6. Gains City, like Gains World, gets
worse and worse instead of better and better
Being filled with fornication, uncleanness,
adultery, child prevention, divorce, afinities,
Im1stresses, paramours (ancient concubin-
age), and where giants of uncleanness, i'm
purity and violence, the Devils human, but
demonlzed, masterpieces of sensuality and
crlminality are born, become fu1l-grown
and cover, and seek to take possession of,
the face of the whole earth:
And it came to pass, when men began to
multiply on the face of the earth and daugh-
tiers were born unto them,
That the sons of God saw the daughters
Of men that they were fair; and they took
them wives of all which they chose
"There were giants in the earth in those
days; and also after that, when the sons of
in MT fho &c
and they bare children to them, the same be-
came mighty men which were of old, men of
renOWn.
And God saw that the wickedness of
man was great in the earth, and that every
imagination of the thoughts of his heart
was only evil continually.
"And it repented the Lord that He had
made man on the earth, and it grieved
Him at His heart. Genesis 81, 2,4-6.
u. These giants became worse and worse.
and being allowed to enter more and more
into the cities of Cain, they finally took
such utter possession of them, that they
turned them into veritable Sodoms and
Gomorrahs:
'Then Lot chose him all the plain of
Jordan: and Lot journeyed east; and they
separated themselves the one from the
other
"Abram dweled in the land of Canaan
and Lot dweled in the cities of the plain
and pitched his tent toward Sodom.
S'But the men of Sodom were wicked
and sinners before the Lord exceedingly"
Genesis BILLS.
Hence Gains Cities are full of accursed
Sodomites, who, with one consent, prac-
tice unmentionable things and Sodomy:
"But before they lay down, the men of
the city, even the men of Sodom, compassed
the house round, both old and young all the
people from every quarter:

1. The first city in recorded history was
Cainite =
"And Cain went out from the presence Of
the Lord, and dwelt in the land of Nod, on
the east of Eden.
''And Cain knew his wife; and she con-
ceived and bare Enoch and he builded a
city, and called the name of the city, after
the name of his son, Enoch. "-Genesis 4
10, H.
2. It had all the accessories of our modern
so-called civilization
"And his brothers name was Jubal: he
was the father of all such as handle the
harp and organ.
"And Zillal, she also bare Tubal-cain, an
instructor of every artifcer in brass and
iron and the sister of Tubal-cain was Naa-
nah. Genesis 4 ri, 22.
3. 1t murders Gods Abels-His people:
"And Cain talked with Abel his brother
and it came to pass, when they were in the
field, that Cain rose up against Abel his
brother, and slew him.
"And the Lord said unto Cain, Where is
Abel thy brother? And he said, [ know not !:
Am my brothers keeper?
"And He said, what hast thou done? the
voice of thy brothers blood crieth unto Me
from the ground.
"And now art thou cursed from the earth,
which hath opened her mouth to receive thy
brothers blood from thy hand?
"When thou tillest the ground, it shall not
henceforth yield unto thee her strength; a
fugitive and vagabond shalt thou be in the
earth. Genesis :8-12.
A. Sometimes, in Gains City, the good are
so set upon by the impure, unholy, sandbag-
cling, murderous thugs, who are determined
to take possession of everything for their
master the DEVILS use, that the good men
and women are compelled to defend them
selves and the good that remains in the city

"A wholesome moral clearing
characterized the covenant provision

ing your own business. particularly
wren something outrageous is up"

IN his reference to reservations the
President declared:
when the Senate has acted, 1t will
be for me to determine whether it's
action constituted an adoption or a
rejection"
He added that he hoped the Sem
ate would not leave the matter in
doubt, but would make its position
unrnistakable, and would put it's ac-
tion into such form that it would
clearly constitute rejection or an
acceptance.
