MUSICAL PART
Of PROGRAM

This is a marvellous picture story
o fthe birth. the life and crucifixion
of the Saviour. 1t breaches a Won
derful sermon. 1t tells in such a way
that it sinks deep into the mind and
lays hold of the heart. There is no
question but this Biblical master
piece will be a great power for good.
The subject is handled in such A
pleasing way, no hint at being sacri-
ligious, no lack of dignity. In view
ing the picture one loses sight for the
time being OF the outside world. and
feels for the moment that he is back
in the past, and that Christ's visit IS
a reality and that he is one Of the
