cealing facts This horrible plague is again
sweeping the world. In Chicago, last week,
they had the largest number of deaths in
one day ever known, and in one day there
were 800 funerals. In Zion, we have lost
two loved ones out of all the large number
stricken. Many have recovered and are
back at their posts of duty. Now let us
bear the sick ones before the Throne of
God. Let us dwell in the secret place of
the Most High, keep near to God and trust
Him for protection and deliverance."

one living out here among the hills. shall
pass them on to my neighbors SO let us pray
