SACRAMENT RITES
TYPIFIED In FILMS
Anglo Catholic Church Uses Motion
Pictures to Teach Mean
ing Of Service.

For the first time in the history of
| the Christian church, motion pictures
| are being used as a means of teaching
the meaning of the sacraments, accord
ing to advices from England. One of
these films, dealing with the sacra-
| mental rite of confirmation, was given
public showing at the Anglo-Catholic
Congress in July, and a private show
ing before the Bishop of London. Since
| that time it has been shown in many
parishes throughout England and was
given a special showing at All Saints,
Margaret street, London, November %,
the invitations being limited to priests
and their confirmation candidates. There
was considerable objection to these
films on the ground that they might be
cause Of irreEerance, but in actual
use they have proved very effective.
Advices from London state that a
gress has just been held in Bristol,
England, covering period of three
days, during which time thousands OF
copies of the congress books were dis
posed Of The Bishop of Bristol well
