The theocrat. [volume] (Zion City [i.e. Zion], Ill.) 1914-1949, 1919-11-08

Day. said: II am very glad to announce
that during the month of October there was
only one death among the membership of
this Church in Zion City lady sixty
years old That is remarkable record.
God is just waiting to do wonderful things
for this people if they will measure UP. A
few weeks ago, published statistics in The
Theocrat showing that in nine months,
from January l to September 80 of this
year, there were only 70 deaths in Zion in
Benton Township At the same time, there
were u marriages and So births.
It has been found from experience that
the most successful Seventy workers con-
centrate on selling Leaves of Healing in
stead of giving the literature away. Some
Of them even prefer not to carry messages.
If any literature is given at all, it should be
offered after an attempt has been made to
sell the Leaves, not before People ap-
preciate paper much more if they buy it
than if it is given to them. The workers
who go to Racine each Lords Day give
less and less literature away each trip, and
at the same time their sales are increasing.
The managers of Zion Apron and Hand
kerchief Factory, Zion Baking Industry
and Zion Candy Factory wish to express
their appreciation Of the splendid response
shown to the urgent appeal for help re-
Gently issued. While there is still need for
more help, the pressure in this emergency
has been greatly relieved All three insti-
tutions are exceedingly rushed. The bust
ness of Zion Candy Factory for the month
of October more than doubled that of the
corresponding month year ago.
If you have quantity Of old Leaves of
Healing accumulated in your home, and are
at loss for addresses for mailing them out,
please bring them to the Leaves of Healing
office in the Administration Building as we
have many calls for free literature. There
are people in this city who will gladly mail
them out but who hardly feel in position
to buy the papers inelarge quantities.
The testimony of Deacon Herman G..
Peterson and family appeared in the Leaves
of Healing last week - Volume As, Num-
Der O. for the third time On each oc-
casion, Deacon Peterson has purchased
1000 copies. Making daily business trips
to Chicago he finds many opportunities for
engaging in conversation with strangers and
presenting them with copy of Leaves of
Healing, containing the picture and testi-
nony of himself and family.
