striction of immigration and more
rigid naturalization tests for aliens

department of the National Civic

S0-CALLED SCIENCE
is A LOT OF SILLY
ROT, V0LVA AYERS

Zion, Ills, Feb. Wilbur
Glenn NOliya, successor of
John Alexander Dowie as over
seer of Zion and head of the
Christian Apostolic church, has
completed the fixing of dimen-
sions of his flat world, exist
ence of which is now taught in
the Zion schools.
According to Mr.. Noliva's
latest prOnounCement, the sky
is a vast dome of solid ma
terial, from which the sun,
moon and stars are hung like
chandeliers. The edges of the
dome, he explained, rest on
the wall of ice which sur
rounds the flat world TO keep
foolhardy mariners from tumb-
ling over the edge.
THAT is the plain teaching
Of the whole word Of God" he
said, that the heaven, the
dome. the vault, like a tent.
is a solid structure over the
earth and all the lights are
set within the firmament. Eze-
kiel says the throne OF God is
above the vault The firma-
ment above our heads is a
solid structure, and the stars
points of. light, that is all. They
are not worlds, they are not
suns. So-called science is a
lot of silly rot, and so is So
called medical science, and all
the rest of their so-called
sciences"
