RAPS MORALS
Zionist Leader Failed TO Name
His Eighteen Signs
OF Rapture.

More than a thousand South Bend
people who gathered in the high
school auditorium last night 20 hear
Voliva, general overseer Of the
Christian Catholic Apostolic church
OF Zion, Zion City. Ill. are yet TO
learn the eighteen signs showing
that the world is about 10 enter into
the Millennium. or thousand years
Of Christ's rule.
At the latest report they were in
a suitcase on their way back 10 Zion
City. Voliva could remember only
FIVE OF them when questioned. He
failed TO mention them specifically
IN his address. although he referred
TO the eighteen signs" Continuously.
The attack on the press and public
morals and a pointed warning
against the revival OF temporal
power Of the Pope formed the foun-
dalton OF Voliva's address. He pre-
dioted the immediate event of the
Rapture. or seven years OF tTibu
lation before the millennium. and
sCoffeS at the idea of a successful
disarmament conference.
But in his eighteen points he was
less clear. One OF them he said.
when questioned after his talk. was
the general falling away from the
church. Others we're the return of
the Jews TO Jerusalem, the wide
spread acceptance OF spiritualism,
the distress OF nations. and the be-
lief in false doctrines, such as the
denial OF the divinity OF Christ.
VoIiva FaIters.
After that the leader of the Zion
movement faltered. He could go
no further.
IT have them all on a manuscript
in my suitcase. but we can't get that
now for It has already left for Chi
cago and Zion City" he said.
Newspapers are the servants Of
the Devil, preaching his damnable
doctrine 20 the public" declared the
speaker. They are the curse of to-
day. They are the most malicious.
damnable, scandal and divorce
spreading instruments ever placed
in circulation.
The moral fibre of the world is
being eaten out by a cancer. When
people lose the true conception of
the family duty. and every town and
village is full of Divorces, you are
undermining the strength of a ma
ton. Decay follows. And with de-
cay comes ruin. Remember Rome.
World VIII Change.
That the world will be entirely
changed in a moment and that we
will enter into the millennium in the
most ordinary sort of way were other
points emphasized by Voliva.
"All invention will turn the world
into a paradise" he said. Every
man will have his own house. roads
will be great highways of heaven
and there will no longer be sorrow
here. Trumpets will be sounded. the
saints will arise, and the newspapers
will print stories Of a strange phe-
nomenom. It's coming. and it's
close at hand.
II have given you the plain word
( OF GOd-you can watch the story"
Voliva spoke TO large audiences in
both the afternoon and evening. At
both meetings a unit of the white
robed choir of Zion City sang. The
