stage on the 31st OF October, to serve
as pastcc OF the Methodist church.
He has since served as the success
ful pastor OF some of the strongest
churches of the state. He had earned
and still holds an enviable reputation
for scholarship. While his loveable
disposition has won for him host Of
lasting friends. 1t is a cause for
wonder that the Colorado conference
did not loose him for the high office
OF the Episcopary. Throughout his
lite OF great usefulness he has never
forgotten Central City. He will come
next Sunday as he has many times be-
fore to celebrate his anniversary.
Health permitting he will preach botll
morning and evening. A cordial in
vitation is extended to all to worship
with us.
AT large meeting of the official
board and representatives of the
church. last Thursday evening a most
progressive plan was inaugurated for
the church. In addition to ordering
the work ON the storm windows be-
gun at once, the board decided to pur.
chase motion picture machine for
educational use in tie church. We
wish to here announce our policy.
We are not going into the movie bus
mess. We are not competing with
the picture show, and will not release
films on week nights now being used
for ttat purpose at tire opera house.
We believe tie chucch ought to
minister to all needs, we hope to
furnish very high-classl educational
ente rita inments. We have made ap.
plicaticn for the free film service at
Washington, which includes films
snlcf, as geographic, scenic, fish, bird
and animal life as we'll aus films illus
trating the customs OF people and
races of other lands. Civic better
ment, play grounds, recreation CEN
ters, social service, public health
and educational methods and safety
appliances are available. Also films
showing the manufacture of all kinds
OF articles from raw material to fin
ished product such as wool to cloth
dng, sand to glass, pelt to shoes and
gloves. and the publishing OF maga-
zine. As well AZ surgical. medical
and technical films ench as architect
ural, engineering construction, chem
ical processes. X-ray and it's applica-
tions. applied electricity and even as
Economical observations.
Scenic views through all the ma
ticnal parks, along THE great high
ways, among the places OF the cliff
dwelners. through the mountains and
even climbing Longs Peak are in
the Gst OF hundreds OF reels.
These films can only be secured
in this way and must be shown free.
with neither admission or collection.
We will have to depend on extra
contributions to our general budget
to cover incidental expense such as
light, fuel, and transportation on
films
On Sunday nights We propose
to frequently have illustrated SER
mons and addresses.
An order conditioned ON trial has
already been placed fer a very mod
ern Powers motion picture machine
! Should it become necessary in or.
der to keep up the expense incident
to this program we may occasionally
rent some htgh-class films and make
an Admission charge. However, IL
the friends OF the church will only
enter into the spirit of this great
movement we have no doubt there
win be enough voluntary contribu-
tions to cover actual expense.
The department of public instruc.
tion through the Bureau of CONNER.
cial Economics cooperating with
nearly 100 universities make this
service possible. DR.. Vosburg, OF
Denver, will be secured soon for sew
eral Of his famous Illustrated Lectures.
This is a new departure in the
west, however Epworth institutional
church Of Denver has carried ON this
feature for some time, whdle in the
east, the system is now well estab-
lished. Surely the people will appre-
ciate the fact that our ambition can.
not be. for our own gain, but rather
to be OF the largest possible service
to the community, and helping to
make Central City place desirable
to live IN We do not beg assistance
m this venture but We do invite Co
operation.
