There also has been | some complaint of people develop- ing the habit of attempting to leave before the close of the program. In the South church the evening service Includes several hymns, Bible reading, and a sermon before the picture. The sermon is adapted to the picture, which usually points out a moral and the object of the moving picture is simply to supple- ment the sermon. Following the showing of the picture there are| several hymns and the benediction and some people have shown a dis- position to leave before the closing ceremonies. This has been confined to a small group of individuals and while the congregation as a whole has been but slightly disturbed, lht“ tendescy on the part of few to get into these habits has brought down | the wrath of the church officlals. | Dr. Hill's rebuke last night was the | subject of much favorable comment following the service. Says Church Is Holy Place. Dr. Hill referred to the picture shown durlng the service, which was taken from Sir Walter Scott's “The | Tallgman,” and ‘was & story of the| e.rly Crusaders. He called attention to the fact that the Crusaders fought under the banher of Christianity and in the pame of Christianity and| when they were victorlous they acted llke anything but Christians. He said the picture gave him an| opportunity to mention something he had hoped would not be necessary.| “& church is a holy place,” he said.| “The brick and mortar are the same | as that of which any other place s built, but in every church, no mat- ter what its creed, is a place where men and women come to breathe out hopes and prayers to Almighty God.

Just prior to their retirement the Jjurors had listened to Schmidt's story of the death of his wife, which he reenacted as he wept and sobbed.

JUSTICE M'KENNA 1§ OFF SUPREME BENCH Veteran of 32 Years’ Service Resigns at Age of 82 ‘Washington, Jan, 6.—The resigna- tlon of Associate Justice Joseph Me- Kenna was announced today from the bench of the supreme court. Chief Justice Taft, making the an- nouncement as soon as the court met, sald the resignation had been accepted by Presidents Coolidge. By virtue of upward of thirty years’ service on the supreme bench, Justice McKenna was the ranking assoclate justice of the court, He retired because of his advanced age. Justice McKenna is in his elghty- second year and three weeks from today will mark the twenty-seventh anniversary of his elevation to the supreme bench by President Mc- Kinley. Before that appointment he had served in congress as a repre- sentative from California, had been a United States circuit judge under the Harrison administration and had occupied a place in McKinley's cabinet as attorney general, His health had been unusually robust for | a man of his years, and he has ap- plied himself with great vigor to the | heavy tasks of the high court. Sev- eral months ago, however, the death | additional | of his wide added an welight of sorrow and loneliness to the burden of the advancing years, and he decided to lay aside the offi- | cial cares which for so long had taxed his capabilities. It was the general supposition that the retirement of Justice McKenna will be followed by the appointment of another member of the court from the Pacific coast, One of those mentioned is Secretary Wilbur of the navy department, who before he en- tered the cabinet was chief justice of the California supreme court.
