Institutions, God is put first in everything
I'm the Beginning God"
(2) Every school morning, without fall
chapel exercises, consisting of Gospel or
devotional hymn, selection of Gods In
Spired Word; and an earnest prayer in the
Name of Jesus the Christ, in the power of
the Holy Spirit, according to the conditions
governing prayer as outlined in the Word
of God, is offered up.
60 In these schools not a teacher who
is not an earnest, consecrated, praying, Bible
studying Christian, and in attendance regu-
larly upon all the means of Grace, is ever
appointed to teach.
The Bible itself is textbook; yea, the
main Textbook, and the pupils must pass
an examination in it. as in other books.
CD In these institutions there are about
thousand pupils enrolled at the present
time. All children are equal. The rich
mans child is not fawned upon and favored
here to the humiliation of the poor mans
child, or the widows boy.
Any boy with clean mouth, whose par
ents or guardian is in some way connected
with the Christian Catholic Apostolic
Church in Zion, upon the approval of the
General Overseer, is admitted to these
schools
(5) Friends and members of the Chris
tan Catholic Apostolic Church gladly sup
port these educational institutions, because
of their superiority over the public Cor any
other kind of schools
All Zion people, as obedient citizens of
the nation and state, pay their proportion
Of taxes for the support Of the public
schools, also.
s. In the City of Zion there are about
twenty-five different Zion commercial in
situations and industries, doing a present
business of about $2,225, 900 year.
In every one of these institutions and
industries, all the coworkers assemble for
hymn of praise, the reading of a selection
of Gods Word, and prayer, every morning
before the days work begins. Nowhere
else on earth that the writer is aware Of
is this the case. Who that loves God and
His ways, would not delight to live in such
city, where such customs prevail?
t9. In this City of Zion a call to prayer rings
out over the city every day at a. rn and
again at the same hour in the evening. For
a few minutes twice a day, every piece of
machinery in all the Institutions and In
dustries stops, every workers head is bowed
in silent prayer All true Zion people in
their homes, on the streets, no matter what
they are doing, heed the twice day call
and pray.
The writer knows of no other city on
earth where such is the case, and he thanks
God that he is in Zion, and that his wife
and little ones are living in such an atmos-
phere.
| TO- In the City Of Zion there is really but
one place of worship :. Shiloh Tabernacle
with one kind of service, under one
General Overseer, or any given officer whom
he may appoint to represent him upon any
given occasion.
Jerusalem never had but one Temple, and
all worshippers assembled there regularly,
and Systematically, and SO it should be IN
the City of Zion.
The doom of nationalism and denomina-
tionalism is plainly written in the Book of
| God
"And the ten horns which thou sawest
upon the beast, these shall hate the whore,
and shall make her desolate and naked
and shall eat her flesh, and burn her with
fire.
"For God hath put in their hearts to
fulfil His will, and to agree, and give their
kingdom unto the beast, until the words of
God shall be fulfilled '"-Revelat;o II:
10, II.
"And I heard another voice from Heaven,
saying, Come out of her, My people, that
We be not partakers of her sins, and that ye
receive not of her plaques
"For her sins have reached unto Heaven,
and God hath remembered her inlqultles.
Reward her even as she rewarded you,
and double unto her double according to
her works in the cup which she hath filled
fill to her double.
Glow much she hath glorihed herself,
and lived deliciously, SO much torment and
sorrow give her. For she saith in her heart,
I sit a queen, and am no widow, and shall
see no sorrow.
Therefore shall her plaques come in
one day, death, and mourning, and famine;
and she shall be utterly burned with fire:
for strong is the Lord God Who judgeth
her. "-Revelation Is :48.
Therefore wait We upon Me, saith the
Lord, until the day that | rise up to the
prey: for My determination is to gather the
nations, that I may assemble the kingdoms,
to pour upon them Mine indignation, even
all Ny fierce anger: for all the earth shall
be devoured with the fire Of My jealousy.
'For then will turn to the people a pure
language, that they may all call upon the
Name of the Lord, to serve Him with one
consent" -Zephaniah $50.
Better get in line with God quickly; for
everything and every place except Gods
Tabernacle and Gods ordered service, will
quickly perish from the whole earth and
