ONE HEART NECESSARY FOR HAPPY COMMUNITY
Zion community! Now go back
Many people have been and members of this Church
who have lived in this community is thing be
member of the Church. and another thing be member
of Zion community Do you that? Men and may
live in Chicago Cincinnati London Paris and anywhere ese
and may be members of this Church, but whenever and
women make up their minds to launch community to live
community life then to tell you there is something be
required than the four conditions of fellowship. You
have community life unless and all of

One thing that surprises the statement made by differ
people about Zion community They simply show that
they have thought into the subject that they have
given any real Serious consideration What is the

ZION Cry BUT AN INCIDENT TO THE ZION MOVEMENT

The Christian Catholic Church existed long before Zion
Cy The Headquarters in Chicago grew rapidly Branches
OF considerable size launched different cities diff
ferent lands The Zion literature hooks and
corners In the leading hotels the great steamers at
the large railway stations the Y NJ c. A. and Y W. c. A.
Association and elsewhere Zion literature be
found The ministry of Zion attracted wide attention
and the Zion Movement growing rate long
before Zion City established want you to think of
that The Zion Movement existed before Zion City The Zion
Movement did depend upon Zion City City to the
Movement is just the this my body If
threw this coat off, and destroyed my body would still
exist If Zion City swept off the earth tomorrow the
Movement would exist just did before Zion City was esa
1ished.
/ Was THE ESTABLISHMENT ZION CITY A WISE Move
My brothers and sisters this brings me to the presentation
of another question: Did Zion make mistake when she
launched Zion City, Second Would have been better for the
Zion Movement for her throughout the world if Zion
City had never been launched
In the next place. Do you consciously believe from your
study of the Word of God that Gods people Zion ought to
launch Zion communities do you believe One says
Zion made mistake and should launched Zion
City Another says that the thing about the Zion
Movement that makes the of the twentieth century
the fact that she advocates the practical demonstration of the
truths and ene of the Church and the Kingdom of Our Lord
and Savior Jesus the Christ
My opinion is that in talking about saving Zion City the
has been put before the horse you people answer
these questions them properly only beating the
to talk about Zion City Is that sound reasoning? Do YOU
see through hat believe that position as possible
WHY ZION CITY LAUNCHED?
Let us look for minute the way this City was
launched
In the first place, John Alexander Dowe preached those
wonderful and will say this that his only
have read in literature outside of the Bible that could
read times and get tired of them could sit
and read those pamphlets whole day and get tired
secret Of the power of those that that called
and trained of God to do mighty work (Amens) and he had
something for the world that nobody else could give
Voices: Right!
GENERAL OvERsEER: He preached those wonderful
He pointed you that Gods people ought get together and
they ought to be in communities
In the place. the fact After consuta
ton with the lawyer and having taught you people that the
earth belongs the Lord and that this land should be
sold perpeti he decided upon eleven hundred
accepted for land you given lease for eleven hundred
years. the lease containing certain covenants violation of
which, by paragraph inserted therein Zion through her pro-
officials could tender to you money and by promsory
the value of your holdings fixed by board of arbitration
and then you would be compelled out of the City
will ask you this question

And struggle how they cen can bear
the cross.
They have so much to lose, that we
may gain!
But Oh! 1 would so gladly stand the
loss,
And give my boy with mothers

With willing heart, nor even count
the cost
The little boy l would have given
is dead.
