Atlanta Georgian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1912-1939, 1914-02-15
Able Des Explains That Moses Wrote the Pictures on Cloud

spread out before the eager eyes
of Moses, as in moving picture.
And it is because of the mode of
revelation that he describes the diff
ferent periods as lasting six days.
If you read Exodus xiv. argues
the Able, you cannot fail to note the
very peculiar statement in verse six
teen: And the glory of the Lord
abode upon Mount Sinai, and the
cloud covered it six days"
Moses, he continues, having been
called to the mountain by Jehovah,
appoints Aaron and Hur to act in his
absence, and is lost in this cloud for
six days, that he might be prepared
for the higher revelation of the Ten
Commandments, which was to follow
during the forty days. 1t was during
these six days that God made live
again for his enlightenment the en-
tire process of creation This is what
Moses saw. writes the Able.
On the first day Moses saw a great
mass, Empty and without form
inert. and without heat; it was
primitive nebula, out of which was to
come "the heavens and the earth,
But il was without movement, es.
sentially incapable of realizing itself.
Then it is that God breatheS and
all is set in motion. Shocks are null
tiplied producing the molecules of
heat, and heat is about to produce
light. Moses heard God say: Let
there be light" And there was
light.
The nebula cleared, becoming the
earth, an obscure planet, beginning
us Il star. u sun shining with its
own light For a whole day Moses
enjoyed this spectacle And il was

society and other institutions. besides
giving literally to various Jewish
charities like the Montefore Home at
Bedford Hills and the sanitarium for
consumptives at Denver.
Last year the federation raised
$160,000 This year its officers want
to make the total contributions reach
at least $250,000, and they intend
relying largely upon the motion pic
lures to produce the increase.
There is no lack of money in this
community of nearly 100000 Jews
says Max Abelman. assistant secre-
tary of the federation; THE lack is
in the spirit of giving. And | be
lieve the Surest, easiest way of arous-
ing that spirit is through motion pic
lures. which will give graphic por-
trayal of every branch of our WORK
and show just what use we shall
make of the money we ask for
Acting on Mr.. Abelman's suggestion
the federation has had the Universal
Film Manufacturing Company pre-
pare twO-reel film which shows in
FULLEST detail how a helping hand is
stretched out to the weak, HELPLESS
and Borrowing. A company of actors
was specially selected to present the
interesting little drama. which has

and valleys. The waters flowed into

lace, leaving the high places visible
Thls, she Able thinks. was what
Moses saw on the third day. And
now that the heat of the crust was
lessened life became possible. The
Bible states: And God said. Let the
earth bring forth grass, the herb
yielding seed" etc.
Doubtless beneath those oceans of
which Moses had seen the birth. and
IN the beginning of this day. there
was life; primitive vegetation and
animals lived in the water, but Moses
could not pierce the depths, and it
was very rudimentary life at best
far different from what he was to see
on earth. He saw the green grass.
the trees growing rapidly, a vegeta
ton not at all like the vegetation of
our day. The rays of the sun had not
yet pierced the wall of thick clouds.
All was OF dead green, and the
only living creatures on the land
were few scorpions creeping about.
and these were not visible to The
prophets eye.
Thus ended the third day, when
the sun brought about a new vegeta-
ton The proclamation had gone
forth: Let there be light in the
armament The dawn of the fourth
day appeared more beautiful than all
others to the eyes of Moses The
rains had purified the atmosphere.
The earth had continued to cool, and
the vaporizing of the water became
less excessive. All at once as
through torn veil, the sun appears
and moon and stars become visible
With the fifth day vegetation had
changed its character, thanks TO the

One of the many charities which
are successfully using motion pic
lures in this way is st. Johns Guild.
This organization has for many years
maintained floating hospital which
every Summer takes hundreds of
poor tubercular children away from
the citys heat and nurses them back
to health.
Although there is a crying need for
the guilds work. and no doubt Of
the good it is accomplishing, suffi-
cient funds were hard to obtain. The
difficulty was that the guilds work
is done in the Summer. when wealthy
people are enjoying their vacations
in Europe or at their country homes
Thus it was never possible for them
to see for themselves the good the
floating hospital is doing.
After long bordering over this
serious problem Mr. Newcomb. the
president of the society, hit upon the
idea of having motion pictures tell
the story Of the guilds work and
make its appeal for contributions.
The Vitagraph Company of Amer
lea was selected to make this film.
The company sent a corps of its most
expert photographers to the floating
hospital. For several days they re-
manned on board recording with their
cameras every detail of the noble
fight to save these pitifuI little chill
dren of the poor from the clutches of
the dread white plague.
The film was not shown until the
floating hospital was tied up for the
Winter and the guild faced the
necessity Of raising funds for an
other season. Then the public was
invited to see it. 1t was shown in
theatres. churches and schools aud
III the homes Of wealthy men and
women who wished to interest their
friends in this philanthropy.
The president of the guild and the
officers of the Vitagraph Company
were. amazed at the results This
film of the floating hospital and its
little patients proved more powerful
in arouSing sympathy and interesting
active support than any book or ser
mon. Long before it was time for
the hospital 10 begin its next season
the guilds treasury was richer than
it had ever been before by many
thousands of dollars
The Brooklyn Federation of Jewish
Charities is facing a similar Situa-
tion and has just completed plans
for(meeting it as St Johns Guild did
by showing the public through
motion pictures the good it is doing
with the money placed at its dis
poSal

sun, but this was not important in
the eyes of Moses, for he had al
ready seen grass and trees. That
which was most characteristic to him
of the day was animal life. Now he
sees the enormous animals, both on
the sea and on land and all winged
things. We can reconstruct those
animals to-day from the remains
which have been discovered and
thus gain an idea of what Moses
must have seen on the fifth day.
And then came the sixth day. on
which Moses saw animals like those
to which he was accustomed, the
beasts of the field and the cattle.
But the day is not yet done. Moses
hears the words: Let us make man
in our image g s. and let thcul
have dominion. For all that pre-
coded was done for man. and now
that the domain is ready il is time
for the king to come. Thus was
Moses present at the creation Of nan
himself. seeing him moulded as by
the power of God, and inspired Win
the breath of life
ne seventh udN was the Httln%
close of the work Of creation, and
for Moses it closed most wonderfully,
for then was he called out of the
midst OF the cloud, to ascend still
higher upon the mountain where he
received the commando; Keep the
Sabbath day as | have prescribed it,
Work six days: but the seventh day
is the Sabbath, rest consecrated to
the Lord. For the Lord made the
heaven and the earth in six days
and rested on the seventh"
