Bible Study in fiction Pictures

Motion Pictures as a means of teaching
the Bible is the latest form of entertain
ment. This new method of Bible study
opened a two weeks engagement at the
Avenue Theatre, Wilmington, last Sun
day afternoon at 8 o'clock with the
production of Creation" under the
auspices of the International Bible Stud
ents Association. Admission will be en-
tirely free. No collections are to be
asked. This demonstrates that the
proposition is not-based on any mercenary
motives. AS the name indicates it is an
illustrated exhibition ON the creation of
the world.
The photo drama OF "Creation" is the
result of three years OF untiring effort OIL
the part of the 1. BIS. A., and its presi-
dent, Pastor Russell. 1t consists of nearly
600 s~tereopticon slides and about two
miles Of films. Much of the film is hand
colored. About eight hours are con-
sumed in showing the entire production.
However, it is divided into four parts Of
about two hours each. The first part
was shown Sunday afternoon and eve
ming and continued until Wednesday
Changes will take place each Wednesday
and Sunday.
A representative of the Bible Students
Association who is there preparing
for the big Bible pictures, when
asked TO explain the motive said:
"The money used to carry on this new
method OF Bible study comes from volun-
tary contributions to q tract fund by
Bible students who desire that others
shall know of the glad tidings of great
| Joy. The association that l represent
has long since noticed the unprecedented
success of newspapers and magazines in
moulding the public opinion by means of
| pictures and cartoons. The wonderful
popularity of motion pictures has also
attracted our attention. Noticing these
things we conceived idea of a more sue
cessful method of Bible study than that
of printed matter.

The A. B. G. mediators of the Mex
lean civil strife, at Niagara, have done
wisely in taking a recess and waiting
until Huerta and Villa settle il on the
battlefield. Villa will finally win be-
cause the world progresses and the
rights of the people to the use of the
land is fundamentally right. When the
late President Diaz and his cunning
legal associates sold the land to foreign
barons they were sowing to the wind
and his successors are reaping the
whirlwind of destruction. Huerta de-
serves what he gave the late President
Madero, whom he betrayed and then
had sh 1t. The feudal foreign lords
have mostly left Mexico and some will
never return. Villas triumph means
progress thru free speech, a free press,
religious freedom, more education and
an acquiescense of the people to the
will of the majority after an election.

since 1906 has been identified with the
Committees on "Mllitary Affairs" and
Expenditures in the War Depart
ment'' of the Senate, has been looking
after the interests Of the DUPONT Com
pany in Washington. This is ridicu-
lous. Senator DUPONT is neither an
officer, a director, a stakeholder, Or an
employe of the Company, nor has he
been since elected to the Senate. nor has
he eve made any effort to assist it in
Washington. During the eight years
he has been in the United States Senate
the price of smOkeless powder for large
guns has been reduced SIX times, from
70 cents to SO cents per pound; and
such limitations have been placed on
the bills going out of his Committees
as to render it impossible for the Army
now to purchase any powder from the
duPOnts.
Now the foregoing statements, every
of which can be verified and sub
stantiated by official records establish
the following facts:
~ That the contract for Brown
Prismatic Powder was made at the
instance and with the approval of the
Government.
~ That if there are any smokeless

: Delaware has an anomalous law. An
act passed by the last legislature for
bids the shipping of intoxicating liquors
from the wet county of New Castle to
the dry counties of Sussex and Kent,
because the legislature has control over
intra-state commerce. The Supreme
court Of Delaware has upheld the valid
ity of the act. However, liquors can
be shipped from outside the state into
the day counties under the jurisdiction
of the Federal interstate commerce
law. The law does not dictate what a
man shall eat OF drink, but it does for
bid the sale and transportation of Ger
tain detrimental goods.

Beginning Of Villas Career as an

State of Chihuahua and with it
assumed the responsibility of his
mother and a young sister, the
latter Mexican beauty of CO.
Quettish tendencies. Becoming
enamored of the county sheriff
of the city of Chihuahua, the
girl eloped with him. Forgetful
of the marriage ceremony the
couple fled to the mountains.
The enraged Pancho, with an
escort of cowboys and a priest,
pursued the runaways. Oyer
taking them, he forced matrimo-
ny upon the unwilling sheriff.
then handing him a shovel, COM
manded his brother-in-law to dig
a grave. That horrid task com.
pleted, Pancho shot down the
terrified bridegroom and rolled
his body into the pit.
The incident was lurid enough
to startle authorities hardened to
crime and lawlessness. and it
was necessary for the murderer
effectually to absent himself
from the justice that was soon
on his trail. With that escape
began his life of bandit and ma
rauder. For fifteen years he
roamed the Durango and Chihua-
hua Sierras. Porfirio Diaz had
bid $4,000 for his head and the
inspired rurales tracked him
from hiding-place to hiding
place. Villa himself told me
much of this period. 81 have

The Return Of a Nuisance

With the arrival Of spring
weather comes the bands of wan
dering gypsies who pervade this
part of the country under the
guise Of horse traders. They
have wintered in the south, but
with the coming of spring return
to their summer haunts. One
band consisting of about a dozen
wagons, go from one county
court to the other, and are a
source of annoyance all along the
route they travel. The men trade
horses, and do almost anything,
except work, while the women
under the guise of telling for
tunes, earn the living for the en-
tire outfit by begging or steal
ing.
Several members of these wan.
dering bands have been before
the local courts upon grave
charges, and should their nafa
rious practices be resumed, they
should be given an urgent invi
tation to leave this part of the
country. e. Town News.
