SalutatOry
By Kenneth Tablin

Honorable President, Vice-President,
Teachers, Fellow Students, Class mates,
Parents and Friends:
Representing the Class of 1919, I stand
before you tonight and extend to you a
hearty welcome to Our Class Day Program,
which will now be rendered
Our class is the smallest which, so far,
has been graduated from Zion Preparatory
College. We have spent our last three
years in Zion Schools with Christian teach
ers and with the study of the Word of God
added to our course of study. Consider
ing these conditions, we firmly believe that
this class has some advantages over the
classes of the two previous years, and an
exceedingly great advantage over the
classes graduating this Spring from the
schools of the world.
Four years ago, our class entered the
Zion City High School with an enrolment
of more than fifty students. The follow
ing year, our President and General Over
seer, Wilbur Glenn Voliva, made it possible
for Zion Schools to be established. A large

''The Old Roman Empire
nv Miss Mamie S7Uanson

Tonight | shall take you on a journey
with me, back through the ages back past
the horrors of the late war, past the horrors
of many wars, back also through peace and
prosperity, to time before our modern
history began = back to the Old Roman
Empire.
There we shall see the Empire in all its
glory, in all its splendor, in all its peace,
comfort and magnifcence; the Empire in
its height of power
The reign of the first Emperor, Angus
tus Caesar, may be taken as typical peri
cd of the Roman Empire in its highest
degree of splendor, peace and prosperity
Augustus Caesar was the main instrument
in establishing the Roman Empire He
was very able and prudent man, and he
with the aid of his learned counselors and
carefully selected policies, converted Rome
from helpless and exhausted republic,
weakened by many wars, into great and

'sThe Revived Roman Empire
By Stacy Carey

The study of the prophecy Of the Re
vived Roman Empire is of the greatest in
terest to students of the Bible. The two
great prophecies concerning this subject are
in connection with Nebuchadnezzar' dream.
In the Second Chapter of Daniel, we
are told Of Nebuchadnezzar' dream. He
saw great image with the head Of gold !;
the breast and arms of silver; the belly
and thighs Of brass; the legs Of iron; the
feet part of iron and part of clay. He
also saw stone which was cut out OF the
mountain without hands, and which came
and smote the image on its feet and de-
stroyed it.
Then, in the Seventh Of Daniel, we are
told of Daniels dream of the four beasts.
The first was like lion; the second, like
a bear; and the third, like leopard. The
fourth beast was different from the rest, in
that it had ten horns; and among these horns
The theocrat. [volume] (Zion City [i.e. Zion], Ill.) 1914-1949, 1919-06-14
mother little horn sprang up.

anOIner little norm Sprang up.
In the first dream, the two legs of iron
represented the two divisions of Rome.
The western division fell in 476, while the
eastern division fell in 1853. 1t is evident
that some time after 476 and 1853 the Ro-
man Empire was to divide into the ten-toe
condition, which would constitute the Ten
Nation Confederacy.
In the second dream, the terrible fourth
beast represents Rome. Out of this beast
came ten horns, which represent the Ten
Nation Confederacy. The little horn which
sprang up represented the Antichrist. Thus
it is evident that the Ten-Nation Confed-
pire. The League of Nations, which they
are now trying to form, will be a fore
shadowing of the Revived Roman Empire.
To the student of the Bible, current events
are intensely interesting One can easily
understand the Irish question; the trouble
in Austria-Hungary, and the reason France
will get Alsace-Lorralne under the peace
terms. All these questions are in fulfill
ment of prophecy in the Bible, in that the
Revived Roman Empire must follow the
boundaries of the Old Roman Empire
| Therefore, it is evident that Ireland, which
was not in the Old Roman Empire, will
not be in the Revived Roman Empire. The
events that are transpiring there today
are very significant The Irish question has
been for centuries thorn in the flesh, "
as it were, of British affairs On January
| Fl, 1919, twenty-five Sinn-Feiners declared
an Irish Republic. So far, this Republic
has not been recognized. At the present
time, Ireland is guarded by thousands of
| British soldiers.
One of the aims of the peace confer
ence has been to give the little nations self
determination But there is one nation
that they have neglected, and that is Ire
land. AS one writer has put it, 'The right
Of Ireland to se1f-determination far ante
dates the right of Belgium, of Serbia or of
any other nation" England may be re-
1uctant in allowing Ireland her freedom, but,
nevertheless, Gods Word must be fulfilled,
and Ireland will separate.
There is some discussion as to Ger
many's admission to the League Of Ma
tions. She may be admitted but when the
time comes for the Revived Roman En-
pire to be set up all Germany east of the
Rhine must go out, for this section was
i not in the Old Roman Empire.
The great aim of the League of Nations
is to prevent war; When the League is
started, there will be a great cry that peace
has come at last However, according to
the Bible, there will be no peace, for a
far greater war than the one that has just
closed will come, when the Revived Roman
Empire will go to fight the Northeastern
Confederacy.
At the beginning of Daniels Seventieth
Week, the Antichrist will become head Of
the Revived Roman Empire. He will gain
this place by oily speech and by diplomacy.
Then he will confirm the covenant with

The kindergarten

The very foundation of modern school
work IS the kindergarten. This depart
ment forms an especially important part in
Zion Schools. It is here that character be-
gins to Develop here the children are
taught about God and His Word. "The
way twig is bent, the tree is inclined"
Bible stories are a never failing source
of delight and interest for the children
The little folks can relate them all, from
the Garden of Eden to the life of the
Apostles. They can give the Ten Plaques,
relate what happened on each of the six
days of Creation and repeat many Psalms
from beginning to end Indeed there are
some children in the kindergarten who can
put many an older person to shame in
answering questions on the Scripture. They
can tell you of Pauls Journeys, the Seven
Year Period, the Millennial Reign and
many other historic and prophetic events.
1t is wonderful, how their tender minds
can be developed and sharpened- what
a remarkable extent they can be taught
concentration in following directions One
of the principles followed in Zion Kinder
garten Department is that child must be
told thing ONLY ONCE.
When the little tots of five first start to
school, many of them know nothing about
giving attention to what they are told. But
they soon learn to listen closely when the
teacher speaks, and with careful training
it becomes like second nature to them
They have thus attained one of the most
valuable requirements in life. No one ever
made progress in the modern business
world, with all its hurry and hustle, who
did not have the faculty of careful atten-
tion developed in high degree. Not only
is this true of subordinates in taking or
ders, but of all truly great men, who real
lze that one must be a close listener as we'll
as a good talker.
The children must first be taught how to
use their minds the difficulty in teaching
them to use their fingers is then removed,
and it is remarkable how, without any ur1-
natural strain, their patient little hands can
be taught to devise cunning objects by

for few remarks at an occasion held in
his honor
In the study of Art, Geography, History,
Reading or the many other branches taught
in Zion Schools, the work is correlated so
far as possible-that is, the branches are
presented in their mutual relation to each
other
The Motto of Zion Schools the Be-
ginning Gods ever kept in view in
very practical way, from the kindergarten
to the last year OF Preparatory.
While all the regular branches taught
in schools elsewhere are covered here in
the most thorough and effective manner
known to modern educational work, abund-
ance of time is taken for the reading and
study of Gods Word. The days work is
opened with devotiona1s; the Bible is the
chief textbook; the molding of Christian
women for life in Gods service are the
highest aims.
What does it profit man if he search
out all the hidden mysteries of the earth,
the sea and the upper air, and fail to rem
der reverence to God Who created it all
Let him delve into botany, and he finds, not
chance and confusion, but an infinite wis
dom and order far surprising that of man.
Let him take the most powerful micro
scope and he finds a wonderful organized
world of Creation too small for the natural
eye to discern. Let him examine the giant
sequoia and he finds the same order and
system.
John Alexander Dowie, lions founder,
as illustrating the Infnity of God, used
to tell the story of little girl who was
playing with her dolls and telling them of
God. A well-known professed infdel, who
was listening, turned to her and said, Little
girl, how big is your God?" "Why," she
replied God is SO big that the heaven of
heavens cannot contain Him and so small
that He can come and dwell in my little
heart"
Did you ever think of it, that the Infrlity
of God cannot be measured one way nor
the other? Nothing is too great for Him;
neither is anything too infnitesimal. The
same God Who rules the universe knows
every thought of our hearts and keeps
record of every word we utter.
Through all the years of training, the
highest Christian ideals are ever kept be-
fore the students of Zion Schools The
principles of Christianity become part of
their life-of their very being. Their sur
roundings are pure and wholesome; they
are away from the moving picture show,
the dance hall, the Sunday baseball game,
the theater and the one hundred and one
other things which pollute the minds and
detract the attention of the young in other
! cities. Is it, then, any wonder that the
work of the pupils surpasses and outshines
in excellence that of children in schools

The Class Day Program
of the
Preparatory Department of Zion Educational Insti-
tutions, Held in College Chapel, June 10, 1919
&C. W.

The Class Day Program of the Prepara-
tory Department of Zion Educational In
StitutionS, rendered in Zion College Chapel
on last Tuesday evening, June 10, was ex-
cellent from every standpoint
A good audience was present and all felt
well pleased for having been present. Many
expressions of the highest approval were
heard on every side at the close.
The young people taking part acquitted
themselves in manner worthy of the high
privilege which was theirs in being mem
bers of graduating class in the Preparatory
Department of Zion Schools The various
addresses, readings and musical selections
were of the highest order and gave evidence
of careful training and the development of
clean Christian character.
The program was a striking contrast to
graduating exercises held in schools else
where. Sentiments were expressed which
would be heard nowhere but in Zion Schools,
and reflected in very marked manner the
teaching which has been instilled into the
minds of these young people. 1t is with
pride that we publish the various addresses
in this issue of The Theocrat.
The exercises were opened by Vice-Presi-
dent Darms, who read the following Scrip
ture:
Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are
true, whatsoever things are honest, whatso-
ever things are just whatsoever things are
pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever
things are of good report; if there be any
virtue, and if there be any praise, think on
these things.
Those things, which We have both learned,
and received, and heard, and seen in me, do:
and the God of peace shall be with you.
