THE PENALTY
OF NEGLECT
Wilbur Glenn Voliva

Wilbur Glenn Voliva
There are two sets of forces
operating in this world. Jesus
called one the law of the spirit
of life, and the other He call
ed the law of the spirit of
death. We are either being
pulled downward to hell Or we
are being pulled upward to
heaven; and in every human
being one or the other of these
two laws is operating today.
w hen a man violates the
laws of nature, mortgage is
placed on his soul. Who fore
closes and collects that mort
gage? - does God do it? -
does the Devil do it?
"How shall be escape if we
neglect?"
The answer is that we shall
not escape!
There is no escape from the
penalty of neglect in the straw
berry bed, in the herd of hors-
es, in the body, or in the mind

JUNIOR GUARDS IN CAMP

Last Saturday afternoon the
Zion Junior Guards underwent
their physical examinations
and packed their luggage
aboard the church bus; then,
early Monday morning, August
1st, they left for camp.
The Zion Camp is located in
the northern end of the Door
County peninsula, Wisconsin,
on the shores of Green Bay,
about two and one-half miles
above the village of Ellison
Bay. This camp site was chosen
three years ago and sub
sequently a mess hall was built,
a deep we'll drilled, and fine
L-shaped pier installed.
Last year and this year adj
ditional facilities have been ad-
ded to the kitchen so that now
there is a fine electric range
and running water available.
In many respects the Door
County camp site is ideal in
that the area is heavily wood
ed, ideal for hiking and nature
study. There is a great deal of
Indian lore and excellent swim
ming. In addition, since Door
County is a game preserve,
there is an abundance of deer
and other wild life. The camp
ers also enjoy excellent fishing
and on one or two occasions,
campers have been able to sup

ADDITION TO ZION
AUDITORIUM NEARS
COMPLETION

AS the addition to Zion Au-
ditorium nears completion, it
was deemed fitting that a re-
counting be made of the events
which led to it's construction:
On April 2, 1887, Shiloh
Tabernacle was destroyed by
fire. For more than thirty-five
years Shiloh Tabernacle had
been the central place of wor-
ship for the fellowship of the
Christian Catholic Church. On
it's walls were many cherished
relics of the early days of Zion;
the great organ, a splendid mu-
sic library, Passion Play equip
ment, and many other things
of tremendous value to the
church were all lost in the fire.
It was an hour of true catastro-
phe for the Christian Catholic
Church.
However, under the dynamic
leadership of the late General
Overseer, Wilbur Glenn Voliva,
plans were under way before
noon of April End, for a new
place of worship. Various sites
were considered, but at last it
was decided that the most
economical and in many ways
the most appropriate site for
the new place of worship would
be in connection with the Col
lege Building and the vacant
properties lying between the
College Building and the Gym
nasium.
Zion Passion Play, which
had proven so successful, was
also taken into consideration,
and many of the structural re-
quirements for the production
of the play were contained in
the College Building and could
be made available with few
changes.
Elder Taylor, author and
produced, had spent the sum-
mer of 1885 in Palestine, and
as the result of his research,
