"JESUS WOULD USE
MOVING PICTURES
New York Methodist Preach
er Tells Why He Gives Ex-
hibitions Every Sunday in
His Church.

NEW YORK, Oct. 27.-'1f Jesus
were preaching here today, / think
He would use moving pictures"
says the Rev. DR.. Christian F. Refs
ner, pastor Of Grace NJ. e. church,
answering Methodists who criticise
the moving picture exhibitions he
gives in his church Sunday even
ings and week nights.
Jesus used the things about Him
in His teaching. When He healed
a blind man He spat on the sand
and rubbed the sand on the mans
eyes. He told His disciples. when
they had fished all night and caught
nothing to drop their net on the
other side of the boat, and they
caught many fish. He used water
to make wine. He could have
healed that man without using sand
and saliva, just by word. He could
have rained fish from heaven into
that boat. With a word He could
have made jar and illed 1t with
wine. But His beholders would not
have understood these things as
clearly as they did when He used
the common. everyday things of life
to work with.
What's more. the pictures help
the missionary movement. I've been
able to show the young people the
natives and streets of foreign lands,
where we send money for missions.
The pictures were proof Of all that
had ever been said of the need OF
Christianity and civilization in the
distant lands"
DR.. Reisner fills his church to
overflowing every Sunday night and
several nights each week, with mov-
ing picture exhibitions.

WHY, MR.. SULLIVAN?

People are taking no serious
stock in the evidence introduced In
the Sullivan whitewash investiga-
tion ordered by Mayor Pratt.
Only one side Of the case was
heard, Sullivan's side. and that was
so doctored as to be ridiculous. The
Elliott girl, an admitted perjurer
attacked the character OF her foster
father, who filed the charges
against Sullivan. She admitted on
the stand that she was periurer,
yet her evidence was the onlything
introduced in support Of the bald
faced lie that she told about her
aged foster father. who tried to res
cue her from the depths into which
the police had dragged her. Wait
for the true story of the Elliott
case, as II will be developed in the
city council hearing! The Press has
already landed one policeman in
jail on accbount Of this Case.
