  and reveals answers to the mysteries of Flying Saucers, Creation, Future, Reincarnation, Apparitions, Immortality, Mental Telepathy, etc. One dollar will pay cost for twelve articles on these subjects, but contributions are not mandatory, if funds last, since this is a non-profit movement for the advocation of a Zionic Welfare in the U.S. and Canada. Local Welfare groups, to aid ALL destitute, shall be situated in each locality. The headquarters shall be in the heart of America, so as to be equi-distant for all that wish to come for rehabilitation, and/or to live as demonstrated in the Book of Acts 4:32-35. Even an added INTEREST, in such a Zion, comes from the unknown Zionic DEVELOPMENT now in ANTARCTICA; from whom shall come eventual American salvation, and for which we claim scriptural and exploration proof. All creeds and races shall be welcome, since this movement is non-denominational. These 12 articles give complete details. Write us immediately, before you forget.
