Harvest Fields throughout the
world.
The City will be a Religious
Power: for it's Temple will re-
sound with the ringing tones
in speech, in prayer, in song,
of Gods chosen ones, through
whom the Holy Spirit will send
forth Messages of Life, and
Light, and Love to all the
Earth.
The City is a plan of God.
1t will be built by God.
It must be controlled and
used for God throughout all of
it's existence.
God forbid that we should
refuse citizenship in Zion on
earth to a single Citizen of the
Heavenly Zion. Neither race,
nor color, nor education, nor
position, nor wealth can be
barrier to fellowship: for our
Lord has said, Zone is your
master, even Christ, and We are
all Brethren" There are no
aliens amongst Christians.
It is no time for Sorrow.
It is no time for Care.
It is no time for Fear.
1t is no time for Doubt.
It is time for Joy, for Con-
fidence, for Love, and for
Faith, as lions armies are ris-
ing up DER all the earth and
concentrating in tens of thou
sands for the building up of
this great Zion City in the mid
die of this vast American Con-
tinent.
The Redemption of Human
ity in the Millennium, which
may be close at hand, will be
very rapid.
The Rapture of the Saints
will be followed by the coming
of the King to reign and to
rule upon His Holy Hill of
Zion"

the men that toll will get their
fair reward for their toll.
It is the duty of Christian

and defend to the utmost ex-
tent every oppressed human

ings.
After many years of Mis-

From the top of the Obser-

most inspiring one, in these
glorious June days, as the fair
land rolls out toward the deep
blue waters of the lake, which
shine between the beautiful
forests. And as the land rolls
upward behind the Temple
Site to still higher heights,
with broad fields, and gar
dens, and prettily situated
homesteads, it is indeed an i
deal site for the headquarters
of the Christian Catholic
Church in Zion.
The City will be a hive of In

and joyous toll is ever present
in Zion, and we know and
preach and practice that "He
that will not work, neither let

The City will be place of
rest for the weary: for while
the hum of machinery will be
heard in the portion assigned
to manufacture, yet the City
will be essentially a residential
city, where those who have
toiled will find peaceful homes
in old age, and light in Zion
