The moving picture shows

we'll attended. The machine was

East to the Resurrection of our
Savior, was a good Bible lesson
for those who were present, and
certainly no harm was done by
their seeing it. 1t stirred up the
minds of those who had perhaps
not read about Christ for some
time, and gave others, who knew
practically nothing about it, an
insight into the life of Christ,
his suffering, the death on the
Cross for we ungrateful (?) ones.
Every one should see that reel
of pictures.
