MAY REVOLUTIONLE GOSPEL TEACHINGS Movies at South Church Mark New Epoch in Gity Telling Bible stories by moving ple- tures, will mean in the future, more than the reading or hearing them read ever did in the past, according te Rev, Dr, Géorge W. C. Hill, at & demonstration of the new movie ma- chines recently installed at the South Congregational ehurch, The demonstration was given to & gelect group of chureh officials as & sort of official “try-out” Iast evening, In opening the meeting, Dr. Hill ex- plained that two years prior to the time he came here, 10 years ago, it had been decided to purchase a movie machine, but hecause of the searcity of suitable films, the purchase was de- luyed, In the past year or so there have been more pletures suitable for churches put on the market and the purchase followed, He explained that it was, not the intention to show religious pictures exclusively, but that dramatic ple- tures would be shown as well, “The pletures will be shown, not as an en- tertainment,” he explained, “but as an adjunct to the furtherance of Christian work in the community, and only such films will be shown as are | conducive to public worship.” Three films were shown last night, and so successful were they that the Iittle audience was completely car- ried away, forgetting everything but a deeply concentrated interest on the tragedy and drama of the films. The first two reels told the story of Abra- ham, and founding of Hebrew race. The last picture was a feature picture by the Pathe people, entitled “The Power Within.” This picture will be shown tomorrow evening. The Power Within, “The Power Within," tells the story of a man who became rich and pow- erful but refused to recognize .any| power greater than his own will /| His arrogance and the trickery of | others brought him face to face with | misfortune and a realization that there is a ‘“Power Within” that helps to shape and control destinies. | The man's name was Job and his| story was parallel to the man of that name in the Old Testament. | The machines, there being two ot them,’ are operated by Frederick L.| Ifay, director of religious education, | who is a licensed operator in Con- necticut and Massachusetts. They are the regular theatrical machines| and are kept in a fire proof booth, built of heavy steel, lined and car- peted with asbestos. The booth has been inspected by state officlals who declared it to be the most satisfac-| tory safe and efficiently equipped of any they had seen. It covers a fildor space of eight by nine fect, setting on the floor of the| cld organ loft, back of the present balcony. It stands seven feet high and is equipped with switches con- trolling the wall }lights.of the church. Openings in front for projection of! pictures, are fitted with shutters| which would close automatically in! case of a film catching fire, which is| said, to:be & remote possibility. An/ electric ventilator is built into' the hooth, as is an electric film re-wind- ing machine. Sunday’'s m ; The films which will be shown to the public tomorrow night, consist of “The Creation,” a most remarkable pictorial story of the beginning of ;all things in the world.” This ‘picture opens with an allegorical: pictur® of the angels in heaven, bne of the most artistic bits of photography that has yét been presented to the screen. Then is seen the carth im spabe, the creation. of day and night, the water and the fish to inhabit the water, the fowl that ply in the open firmament of heaven. Then the llving: - creatures and creeping things to inhabit the carth. T'ollowing this serles of amazing events comes the creation of _man, Adam. Then the creation of Eve. ‘The marvelously beautiful settings that form the backgrounds for the eyents of the first story, “Creation,” are a feature in themselves. This injtial story has been superbly direct- ed and enacted. : The oft-repeated story of Adam and Fve—the temptation of the world's fitst woman, and the eviction from the Garden of Eden is superbly illustrated in'this reel. The role of Adam is por- triyed by a man of prowess, while . the role of Eve is in the hands of a beautiful woman, each symbolizing the characters of the earth's first liu- mans with histrionic perfection. Here again have the choicest and most. authentic backgrounds been se- lected. Then the world's greatest hu- man document begins to unwind it- self, and'the mirrored life, love and suffering of the peoples of the ages is scen. The second picture is really a con- tinuation of the creation story. It is called “Cain and Abel,” and illus- trates the phase of after life which results in the first murder. Abel, the keeper -of sheep and Cain the tiller of the soil are the chief' characters. Here is presented the crude imple- ments of the first farmer and his niethod of tilling the soil. Sacrificial offering for the purpose of exhibiting respect to the Almighty has its beginning in this chapter of the Book of Books. _Abel offers the choicest of his flock, thereby receiving His greatest bless- ing, while Cain presents but the offing of his crop upon his altar and gains condemnation. Jealousy and hatred leap into Cain's heart and he mur- ders his own brother. With the blood of his brother on his hands he at- tempts to hide. Subsequent. results are shown in an interesting manner. The third picture “Some Works of the Creator,” is an illustration of field and pond life, and is a fitting conclu- sion to the other two stories. Two Old Teéstament narratives will be shown every Sunday evening. No Children Under 15, _Officials of the church have decided not to admit any child under the age of 15 yeéars unless ‘accompanieéd by and sitting with an adult.

To fix one working schedule for womei and another for men is to overlook the fact that they work together as | tegral parts of one single organiz In most cases when the wom- | tion. l""' forming an important part of the whole, leave the shop the men must | quit also, either because the work cannot go on with smoothness anl co-ordination, or because it is too un- economic to operate with so great an idle machine expense. The short time workers must therefore be chargeable not only with the loss due to their own failure to function, but also with the consequent loss of efficiency of the men as well. “The most famillar argument in favor of a short day for women Is {hat there are periods when they are not in fit condition to stand the strain |n.‘ long hours. This is not logical. When they are not in fit condition they should stay at home, and res but the whole working schedule should not be continuously slowed down to the pace of those who are for the moment weakened. That is too mueh of a handicap to industry and, as the workers can only be paid out of the products of industry, to the workers themselves. “® has been many times demon- strated that it is highly desirable that industry should be so organizel in every locality that there 'is a fairiy | even distribution of the amount ot work open to men and women.
