S cries of Important Services
Begun in Chicago

The first of the series of meetings to be
conducted in Central Zion Tabernacle Chi
cago, by the General Overseer during the
month of June, was held on last Lords
Day, June L.
Early in the morning, division of Zion
Restoration Host went to Chicago and
did Seventy Work during the forenoon be-
bore the service began.
At 10:0o a. M, Zion Senior Choir left
on a special train of ten coaches and were
taken through to Chicago without a stop.
The service began at 3 p. M, the White
Robed Choir of three hundred fifty
voices marching into the auditorium and
passing on into the choir gallery, singing
in Professional, "G1orious Things of Thee
Are Spoken" by Hayden.
Although the day was intensely hot, a
fine audience was present, the large audi
torium being nicely filled The people
stayed remarkably we'll and gave close
attention during the Scripture reading; also
during an informal but intensely practical
talk by the General Overseer on true Chris
tlanity in contrast with the counterfeits and
false systems one sees on every side today
The singing of the Choir, accompanied
by Zion Orchestra of twenty-five pieces,
was especially beautiful. During the ser
vice, the following selections were rem
dered: the anthem, "Sing Aloud Unto God"
by Peace; the chorus, 20 Clap Your
Hands" by Stainey; the oratorio, "Hallelu-
Jah Chorus (from Mount of O1ives")
by Beethoven
At the close of the service, the Choir
marched from the auditorium, singing in
Recessional, ''The Son of God Goes Forth
to War;" by Cutler
Central Zion Tabernacle Redecoyated
During the past few weeks, Central Zion
Tabernacle has been redecorated through
out, effecting a very pleasing and remark
able change in the appearance of the in
terror. Both the auditorium and PRAYER
room have been finished in grayisf ivory,
trimmed in lighter colors, imparting a
beautiful and digni6ed effect.
The organ has been newly vanished and
its pipes bronzed. The capitals in back
and front Of the auditorium have been
trimmed in gold. The platform has been
enlarged, an extension of two and one
half feet being added in front. The steps
leading to it are widened two feet thus
adding great convenience, especially for
the Choir marching into the gallery in Pro-
cessional. All side windows have been re-
paired and repainted and radiators through
out the building bronzed. New electric
globes have been supplied throughout, those
in the arch over the literature counter being
frosted
People upon entering the building are
struck with the bright and attractive in
terror. The color of the decorations i'm
parts so much light that no artificial light
is needed until much later in the evening
than before. The change from the former
dark, somber appearance is especially strik-
ing and pleasing.

Canada i'm ThrOes of General
Strike

The general strike which has spread over
Canada with the swiftness of prairie fire,
has assumed grave proportions. In SYM
pathy with the Winnipeg strikers, the fol-
lowing cities are more or less affected :
Calgary, Edmonton, Saskatoon, Toronto,
Lethbridge, Brandon, Ottawa, Montreal.
Regina, Moose Jaw, and Cobalt, as well
as number of other smaller towns and
cities
The zone big union and collective
bargaining are the predominating charac-
terlstics of this industrial upheaval. The
trouble in Winnipeg began in one trade,
the employers refusing to recognize the re-
presentatives of the particular union in
volved. They expressed willingness to
negotiate with their own men, but would
not bargain with the organization to which
these men belonged The issue of collec-
tive bargaining was thus raised, which has
oVershadowed the original issue at stake.
The general strike in Winnipeg was called
to enforce this principle, and in the earlier
stages, the dispute might have been settled
through its recognition by employers. They
have since indicated their willingness to
concede this point, but the concession has
been rejected, the strikers now insisting
that any settlement of particular disputes
must be approved by the committee of the
"one big union, embracing labor organiza-
tions throughout Canada, and which was
launched last March in Calgary
Employers and government officials
therefore claim that this means the creation
OF a labor autocracy.
In some respects, the situation in Winni-
peg appears improved. The positions Of
postal clerks who went on strike have been
filled, in large measure, by others and
there is little congestion. However, it is
reported that violence occurred for the
first time on June 2, the eighteenth day of
the general strike in that city, paraders be-
ing checked by policemen, detectives and
soldiers when attempting to force their way
into the Board of Trade building. Prom
inent officials and business men, who wore
small Canadian flags On their coats, were
attacked, and roughly handled At present
writing, the city seems on the brink of
martial law
A Washington dispatch, of May 20, stat
ed that Canadian labor leaders had wired
Samuel Gompers, President of the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor, urging a gen.
eral strike in the United States, in sympa-
thy with the Canadian movement. They
asked that street cars, trains and steam
boats should stop running, telephone and
telegraph service cease, coal mines, steel
mills and factories in every state and city
close down, and that newspapers suspend
publication.
This request, if complied with, would
mean that over 5000, 900 organized workers
throughout the United States would, at
given signal, drop all tools and walk out
from their places of employment 1t is
claimed, however, that the American Fed
Grafton of Labor will not comply with such
a move, as this would be an Endorsement
of revolution, and the federation would
thereby back up in Canada what it utterly
repudiated at Seattle

Apostasy

The following letter, received from a
gentleman living in one of the principal
cities of California, gives a good idea Of
conditions prevailing over the land TODAY!
Please send me Is copies of Leaves of
Healing' and I will do my bit by distri-
butlng them in order that Gods work
may be carried out here and that someone
in this city may receive the light.
The churches are dying here fast.
False systems are fourishing, which is a
sure sign that the people are grasping for
something to comfort the heart, and which
they have not been able to find in the
churches
The Christian Church is known here
principally as the social church. For
about three years they have held social
every Wednesday night and that is the
only way they can get the people out dur
ing the week. They have a church roll of
over 5OO
The Methodists also are sliding. The
First Church, l hear, has closed its doors
and transferred its congregation to the
Second church and the members are try-
ing to sell the property
The Congregationalists hold one SER
wee IN the morning and Sunday School; no
service except a social now and
then
"The First Presbyterian Church has a
service in the morning and a moving pic
ture service Sunday evening They get big
crowds and Satan comes also with all his
hosts

Another Mexican Revolt

Washington was unofflcially notified, on
May %, that Filipe Angeles had been pro-
claimed provisional president of Mexico by
the Villista faction at Parral, on May 22,
and that simultaneously Francisco Villa had
been made provisional secretary of war.
The manifesto issued at Parral declared
all foreigners would be fully protected and
Americans given their rights. The consti-
tuition of 1857 was to be re-established.
1t is claimed that Angeles proposes, in
case he overthrows Carranza, to estab-
lish republic whose presidents will be
drawn from civil and not military life. He
contends the history of Mexico has been
rep1ete with incidents whereby the army
has been made the vehicle of ambition by
political soldiers.
While the communication received from
Angeles is unofficial, in as much as Car
rama is the recognized head of the Mexl-
can government, Angeles personally is held
in high esteem by officials Of this country.
In dispatch received at Washington, on
May 81, from the Mexican consul general
at FL Paso, the Angeles-Villa movement
was belittled. It read
yellow press has given bandltry IN
Chihuahua large importance, publishing
false news in respect to the morale OF gov
ernment troops.
''I wish to state government troops are
in excellent morale. It is also false that
they have not been paid. Groups OF men
commanded by Villa and his satellite, An
geles, constitute no menace tor the gov
ernment'
