SHOW FILM IN PRIVATE.
Invited Audience Sees "From til
the Manaer to the Cross" Sunday.

Invited Audience Secs "From the
the Manager to the Cross" Sunday.
The set of films portraying in moving
pictures the important events in the
life of Jesus Christ, called From the
Manger to the Cross" was shown to an
invited audience of about Fifty people at
the Y. NJ. c. A. Sunday afternoon. The
films are truly remarkable effort to
show in motion pictures the biblically
historical events of Jesus life and many
Of the important acts Of his ministry,
including many of the miracles, such
as changing the water to wine at the
marriage feast in Canaan, healing the
sick and walking on the water.
The series of motion pictures are di-
vided into five parts. requiring about
one and one half hours to project them.
Directly associated with the life of
Christ, the scenes of the shepherds be-
ing told of the birth of Christ and Of
the wise men from the east coming to
pay homage to him, were some Of the
pictures of the first section.
The others showed the babe in the
manger. the flight Of Joseph and Mary
with the child to Egypt and the return,
and the development Of the Christ
child. Still later scenes were Christ
driving the traders from the temple.
healing the sick, and raising Lazarus.
Among the wildly realistic scenes are
the closing ones, the last supper. the
betrayal, the trial before Plate, scourg-
ing Christ, CARRYING the cross. and the
closing scene on Golgotha. The pictures
end with the death on the cross. All
Of the scenes were made on those spots
that sacred history and tradition asy
were the spots where they happened.
Under the auspices of the Y. NJ. c. A.
the pictures are to be shown at the
Methodist church Monday and Tuesday
Of next week. They are worth seeing.

contractor at the same time.
MA..::h. Waive Hale Holiday.
President Moran said that the half
holiday question might be waived, and
that some of the men were willing to
concede this phase of the demand. Mr..
Moran also expressed the belief that
the controversy would be Of short dur
alton. and that the carpenters and
builders would get together.
Mr.. Moran said that about one-third
of the carpenters employed in the city
had been receiving IS cents an hour
under the old 40 cent scale. A few re-
cetyed less than 40 cents, in the cases
of men over 60 years old who were
hardly capable of doing full days
work owing to their age.

say that while there is a considerable

Cincinnati is a reserve city, and
many of the Atlanta banks have large

Checks on all Ohio points, however,
are sent to Cincinnati for collection,

The proclamation was intended. of
