LIONS FEAST
ENDS IN GLORY
Attendance and Interest Is
Greater This Year Than
Ever.


Zion Guys twenty-frst annual Feast
Of Tabernacles ended Sunday night.
The attendance and the interest sur
passed any feast since Voliva has been
in control. There we're people from
New York, Pennsylvania, Iowa, Cali
fornia, Canada, Michigan, Indiana,
England, and many states of the union.
The attendance at Shiloh tabernacle
Sunday afternoon was very large. The
great tabernacle was filled, despite the
heat. Many visitors had come from
Racine, Kenosha, Waukegan and other
North Shore cities and towns. The
Zion band played few selections be-
fore the service and then the white
ROBBED choir Of 500 voices filed into the
church while the big pipe organ played
he professional
very important part of the service
was the ordination of four apostles.
This makes the apostolic college in
Zion complete. There are now twelve
apostles in the church-just the same
IS there was in the early church. The
rev apostles ordained Sunday after
loon were: F. S. DeVona, Guy K.
Neal, M. J. Mintern and Fred Richert.
The other apostles are: E. L. Carey,
ernest E. Harwood, William S. Peck
nam, William D. Taylor, Antoine Darms,
5ilas Moot, Wills F. Jordan and Carl
2 Viking.
Called Important Step.
The ordination of the four apostles
Sunday is considered by Zionists the
most, important step since the organi-
zation of the church and the founding
Of Zion City. 1t is expected that the
church will have more power as a re-
suit of the apostolic college being com
plete
"The church must be completely re-
stored, in order to be ready for the
rapture" said Overseer Voliva. "Zion
is theocracy. The Millennium rule will
be a theocracy. All saints will return
with the Lord as kings and lords.
Christ will restore the Throne of David
and He will be King of Kings and Lord
of Lords. The saints will rule over
Israel and the Millennium Kingdom.
The church is being prepared for the
rapture now. God is training here
some world rulers. We are told that
twelve apostles will sit on the twelve
thrones judging the twelve tribes Of
Israel"
Kenoshan Is Ordained.
Apostle Michael j. Mintern, one of
the newly ordained apostles, was taken
out of the Nash automobile factory at
Kenosha where he was employed as
machinist.
Apostle Guy K Neal was taken out
Of the Zion meat market, Both Of
these men have been trained in the
church for some time before being or
dained as apostles and were elders
prior to their ordination. There was
also one elder ordained and two evan
gelists.
81 don't want to be like Moses" said
Overseer Voliva in delivering the or
dination address. 81 don't want to be
like John Alexander Dowe. God has
called me to finish this work. If Moses
had not disobeyed God, there would
have been no Joshua. If John AleXan-
Ter Dowe had done certain things,
there would have been no Wilbur Glenn
Voliva."
Prepares Church for Rapture.
Voliva said that his ambition was to
ret the church ready and then turn it
over to Christ in the rapture.
After the ordination service the con-
~regation marched around barrel and
sossed in an offering to be used for
Zion schools. The barrel was almost
iled to the brim with money of all
denominations. Piles of greenbacks
we're thrown into the barrel and it took
force of clerks some time to count
The money. Several people could not
.tay for the closing ceremonies as
hey lived in distant cities, but the
.otal number that marched around the
barrel was, 2,718.
Voliva stated that he sold in one day
10000 worth of Zion real estate.
Voliva also stated that he intended
send out two apostles to Australia,
,wo to Africa and two to Europe.
1t is his purpose to add an agricul-
'ural department to Zion college and
lie hopes to make the city of Zion the
arden spot of the world.
