side, saw little boy lying there He had whis-
pered to his grandmother, Il am going to
Heaven" She loved that little boy he had been
her companion and she could not bear the idea
of giving him up.
They knew nothing about the wonderful truth
that God the Almighty is the Gver of life and
that the devil is the author of death. | said to
the father of this child, 'Will you promise your
God that you will do what is right and that you
will read your Bibe?' He made the promise.
We stood by the bedside. raised my hand to-
ward Heaven and prayed and God the Almighty
gave victory We called at that home the next
day and the grandmother told us that the boy
had asked what that man said. She told HIM
that | had prayed for God to help him to live.
He said, THAT is all right"
God not only spared the life of that boy in
answer to prayer, but the lives of many others.
Nearly all the talks tonight have been on what
has been going on in Zion.
You will never know the results of the liter
atlre that has been sent out. If you could only
see some of the results of your tolls!
May God bless you and give you courage to
hold up the General Overseer's hands.
God has formed you for His glory. Are you
in your place today?
May God save us from losing Our opportun-
ties and make this the year of years.

alton that has been put into my spirit, soul and
BODY. | thank God for the blessings that have
come to me and mine since the last Feast of
Tabernacles | glorify God, magnify the blood
of Jesus and honor the Holy Spirit as never be-
fore

at the end of this year and say, 81 have lost my

PLEASING APPEARANCE OF DINING
ROOM AND CONFECTIONERY De
PARTMENT OF ZION STORE
&C. B. W.
7S25z51S7S1s25552S2

The Dining Room and Confectionery Depart
ment of Zion Store, lately remodeled and en-
larged to almost double their former size, present
beautiful appearance. The atmosphere is quiet
and restful and the place clean, attractive and
sanitary. The white-topped tables and white
woodwork give pleasing effect, and everything
is kept scrupuously clean. The food is Of the
most wholesome quality and the service excellent.
These are indeed busy days for this depart
ment Despite the fact that almost twice the for
mer number of tables have been added, the dining
room is we'll filled at the breakfast, dinner and
supper hours, practically every day.
The kitchen has been enlarged and an electric
dishwashing machine installed together with
wooden and iron tables for the dishes. A steam
table is being remodeled to suit the increased
requirements of the kitchen.
The candy counter in front is well stocked with
pure, fresh Zion candies Prices lately have been
reduced to the lowest figure consistent with sound
business principles and the stock greatly i'm
proved.
Beside the regular stock of chocolate dipped
candies including White Dove creams, Almonds
caramels and chips, the trays are heaped with
peanut and cocoanut brittles, cocoanut KISSES
toasted marshmallows, taffy and the popular soft
caramels with nuts Above the counter, and on
the shelves behind, are the Zion hard goods in
glass jars. The pretty shapes and bright colors
of these brilliant, sparkling candies furnish a
rich background for this portion of the room.
Now that the bakery counter has been removed
to the Grocery Department, there is much more
room for the display of choice candies and fancy
boxes.
Some idea of the wholesome, nourshing char
acter of Zion Candy may be gained from the fact
that in the manufacture of one item alone, sold
in last Saturdays Candy Specials" five gallons
of pure rich cream were used

BIG CROWDS IN GROCERY DEPART
MENT OF ZION STORE ON OPENING
DAY OF NEW cash AND CARRY"
SYSTEM

Seldom, if ever have such crowds been seen
in the Grocery Department of Zion Store on
last Saturday, the first day under the new Cash
and Carry" system. From the opening at 7: 80
a. m until after the closing time, at p. m the
place was thronged The rush could be compared
only to that of toy department the last three
days before Christmas
Everything possible was done to expedite serv-
ice and make it as convenient for customers as
practical. Very soon after the opening time it
became evident that extra help would have to be
secured and arrangements were quickly made to
provide for the throng.
Clerks were stationed at every counter. Two
cashiers occupied booth in the center of the
big department. and after making purchases, the
customers simply presented slips and received
change, instead of waiting for their money to be
sent up over the carrier, as formerly.
Persons coming into the store for the first
time since the change was made are pleased and
surprised at the transformation. The interior is
bright, clean and pleasing, having been refnished
in white and oak The department has been
greatly enlarged now being forty-ive feet in
width and seventy-6ve feet from front to rear.
A number of new show cases have been added
and all counters rehnished and revarnished
We believe we can conscientiously say that
there is no Grocery anywhere in this region that
can possibly compare in appearance and arrange

ment with the new Grocery Department of Zion
Store.
In the arrangement of the department, conven-
fence both for customers and clerks has been
kept in mind The fruit counter has been re-
moved from the front and centrally located, thus
enabling the clerks to wait on more customers
at one time, and giving prompter service to all.
All old fixtures have been remodeled to meet
the requirements of the new system The shev-
ing, which heretofore was solidly built in, has
been made SO that it can be adjusted, up or down,
at a moments notice, by means Of notches, to
fit any sized cans, jars packages or containers OF
any kind Thus, valuable space is utilized and
the appearance is greatly improved.
On the shelves, below the goods in large, PLAIN
figures, visible to the eyes of customers, are
marked the prices SO that no question of price
can be raised at any time.
Not only service, convenience and appearance
have been kept in mind, but thorough sanitation.
Heretofore a great deal of bulk goods, such
as cereals, sugar, peas, BEANS rice ETC., have been
carried in barrels or slowed away IN corners. L o
take the place of this, new bins, lined with gal
vanized iron, absolutely dust and vermin proof,
have been installed Not only this, but the entire
inside and back of the counters also are covered
with galvanized iron lining. New coffee and tea
cans, with rolling tops which make them abso-
lutely dust proof have been added.
The Grocery Department has taken over the
sale of bakery goods, and in this way all products
Of Zion Baking Industry will be handled in enc
place.
Regarding the new system, Deacon Schmalfuss,
General Manager of Zion Department Store, has
this to say
The Cash and Garry system has doubtless
come to stay. The remarkable saving in the pur
chase of goods makes it well worth the trouble
of carrying the goods - at least, that is the only
conclusion one could form after seeing the hearty
appreciation of the public last Saturday.
"Of course, those who wish to have their goods
delivered can have this service, and, even by pay
ing according to the scale of delivery charges,
will still be money ahead, as compared with the
old prices. We are figuring on doing much
larger turnover at a closer margin of profit and
by having cash for goods, less capital is required
and considerable saving from loss and ether
expense items realized thus enabling us to cut
the prices to the lowest limit.
"Our prices will be adjusted according to the
fall or rise of the market, and goods sometimes
will be sold at even lower than advertised prices.
'Our customers should adapt themselves to
this new method by always bordering goods be
fore getting entirely out of them. 1t costs no
more and will often prevent disappointment,
where person lives at distance from the store
