Win Enlighten Public Before
Arrival of Zion'S Head, Who

what is more. there probably will BE-
hot time in the old town, or words
to that effect, when the Overseer ar
rives to drive the Devil out Of his

Now Workers.
The Angels are two middle-aged
women, plainly dressed, Misses Belle
Schelhorn and Helen Buhmann. and
they have taken up their residence in
a rooming house at No. 14S East 45th
Street.
Policemen, dogs and housewives

they passed over such 4 good talking

grand parade OF white robed choris-

tends to lead down Broadway as the
opening shot OF the battle when he
arrives. And take it from one who
knows, II the choristers sing as they
do in Zion City, 1t will be worth while
t. attend the parade.
This will be the first step toward
Voliva's appointment as Head Saint
to be New York's Mayor, said Miss
Buhmann. who then revealed that
there will be plenty OF jobs for the
other saints, because san Francisco.
St. Louis and all the other cities,
including even Chicago, which has
enjoyed proximity to Zion City for
upward of thirty years, will need
