PICTURES RANK WITH ORGAN IN MODERN CHURCH New Theory Says Sermons Seen Are More Effective Than Those Heard.
By FREDERIC J. lIASKIX. CHICAGO, 111.,-Aupg. 20.—'“Unless entertainment 16 provided In the churches, young people will seek It out of them,” said Rev. C. E. Guthrie, president of the Epworth league, at the Desplaines camp meeting near here. Rev. Guthrie said much more on the same line. The church that wishes to hold the jaded interest of the modern youth or maiden must furnish more than spiritual thrills. It must be amusing. It must have gymnasium classes. social clubs, entertainments and various other harmless attractions. This is in line with the whole modern church movement, and seems to be a logical Idea. In the days of our grandparents the competition between the church and the world was not so keen. Religion was a recreation as well as a duty. But now. with the movies, flivvers, golf and cabarets all striving to wean the weak and erring soul away from his Inherited habits of worship, it begins to look as if the church will have to be up and doing. It is a deplorable fact that the light of spiritual truth from the church does not seem to shine as brightly in the eyes of the younger generation as the lights of the movie theater across the way. * The answer to this, according to the more modern divines, is to bring the movies to the churches rather than let the congregations go to the movies. Indeed, surprising as it may seem t some of us, there are already over 5,000 churches in the country equipped with motion picture machines, wnich are used in various ways in connection with church work. Some ministers preach sermons illustrated by films. So far, however, the greatest work done by the church movies is in affording wholesome entertainment for the flock on week days or Sunday afternoons. PREACH TO THE EXES. In attracting and holding church members the movie has been found to be without an .equal. Rev. Leslie Sprague, one of the first ministers to preach a sermon illustrated by movies, says this is only natural. It is a scientific factthat we get S2 per cent of all our information through our eyes. Hence a serm >n preached to our eyes Instead of to on • less efficient cars ought to produce more results. It seems to b much easier for the modern man to concentrate visually than guricularly. Life moves too swiftly for him to concentrate upon some heavy tome or abstruse lecture. His mental stimulus comes mostly from the newspaper headlines and cartoons, the illustrated magazines and the moving pictures. Preach a moving picture sermon to him and you meet him on his own ground. Harangue him for an hour with resounding phrases and he falls asleep. All this shows, says Rev. Sprague, that a church that is not equipped to show motion pictures is as incomplete as the church without an organ. And as the head of the ehurch department of the Community Motion Picture bureau of New York, surely he should know.
Another even more Important use for the church motion picture machine is the educating and amusing of children. Not only is it a great help in Sunday school work, by nabllng children to visualize simple Bible scenes and parables, but it also plays a much-needed part during the week. A. D. V. Storey, executive secretary of the American Educational Motion Picture association, suggests that the church should give one special children's show each afternoon. * The child could stop on his ay from school and see proper films, especially suited to his age, and then come home to his dinner, have all the evening to do his home work, with his craving for the movies properly satisfied, and go peacefully to bed, having spent an absolutely innocuous day. CHIL.It SPENDS HOCKS IN STREET. As it is, the child spends his after school hours in the streets, races through his home work In time to get to the first showing of “The Vampire's Revenge,’’ and goes to bed with scenes In his mind that are not compatible with Infantile Innocence. And in all this day the church has played no part. Mr. Storej’s plan would change all that by having the church and school work together to fill the child's play with education and healthy amusements. f This plan would not only benefit the child, but would also give the church another interested membe*-, make it a more vital factor in the life of the community, and prevent its good influent from being' even partially diverted. Mayor Broening of Baltimore is one of many well known public men who believes that the movie could be made a strong influence for good in the community. He would like to see the churches of Baltimore take up the motion pictuia seriously, and is having the laws and regulations applying to the use of motion picture machines looked into, particularly those having to do with the danger of fire. However, this is a minor consideration that can soon be adjusted if enough church members take an active Interest In it. Another problem in connection with the. church movie Idea is the securing of suitable films. Many a Aim which might delight a deacon on Broadway would fill with horror a deacon in his natural habitat. And until the demand for the church movie becomes greater than it is, the more advanced churches will have to pick and choose among the films made for the theaters. Orrln Q. Cocks, secretary of the national committee for better films, does not believe that this will offer them any great obstacles. He claims that the motion picture is becoming a purer and better factor in our lives every day. He offers statistics to prove this. MOVIES ARE IMPROVING. Os the moving pictures put on some years ago he says about 26 per cent were adjudged proper to go upon the list salt- i able for family use. Last year 48 per cent of the pictures Shown were put on such a list. With a body of ministers and churchgoers through the country taking an active Interest In films It Is a certainty that this list would be longer every year. This would have the result not only of getting more young people to see their movies !■ the churches, but also of making the producers send ont a higher grate of pictures for the theaters. Thus the whole tone of the country would be raised a little more, and wickedness would become an even rarer phenomensia among ns. An example of a church where moving pictures brought most gratifying results

Is the St. Paul Methodist church here in Chicago. , Rev. Roy 1.. Smith, who inaugurated their use in this popular house of worship, Is so firmly convinced of their usefulness that he says he would as soon think of running a church without music or coal as without moving pictures. Dr. Smith says all around his church there were dance halls, cabarets and other evil temptations for the young people. He determined to tempt them to good by offering them wholesome amusements and friendships in the-church. “We used pictures exactly as we would use music, for their educational and en tertaining value,” he says. “We found young people were lonely and tempted; we gave them entertainment and unselfish friendships, and they went away"happy and devoted to us. “We did not try very bard to build up the church. “We set out to build up the people, and found out before long that they were building up the church.”

The letter said : “Let me thank you again for your very interesting and comprehensive letter of July JO. I laid It aside for my personal attention, but my own mail ran into an accumulation, which I am Just now wading through. “I know enough of the feelings of the south, or at least I believe I do. to appreciate your feelings with reference to your internal affairs. Our platform has made a very decided declaration on the nineteenth amendment and as you will at once recognize, the policy of that document becomes my own as well. “At the same t me I shall endeavor to speak the policy of the platform to maintain the proprieties which your letter sets forth. I have no hesitation in saying that section 32, article 2 of the Tennessee constitution is a very wise plan. It ought to be adopted in ail states. “Whether it is in conflict with the federal constitution as recently interpreted, is another matter. Most lawyers with whom I have talked believe it is not. However, it is not within my province to make this declaration. 1 am assuming that your letter is written to give me a general idea of the situation in Tennessee."

The white man hesitated before he entered the forest tract for it usually meant death. Many romantic tales are told of the park—how a beautiful Indian maiden, upon finding that her lover had been killed, leaped from a very high point to her death in the creek below. This, point Is called “Lover's Leap” and is 210 feet high, a rather dizzy height to look down from and commands a beautiful view.

COAL MINING AT STANDSTILL FROM STRIKE (Continued From Pago One.)
to get the proper government agencies to act at once in production and distribution of coal. “Eighty-five per cent of the coal consuming public has no coal. Many utilities have only one day's supply and conditions could not be worse. “Should fire originate in *ny city it would be a practical lobs. Decided action should not be delayed to prevent a coal calamity cqw threatening the people of th*x state.” MeCardle said privately that the congressmen should carry the case direct to President Wilson ami request the executive to call a special session of congress to deal with the situation. He recommended that congress provide means for volunteers to go down into the mines and man them until the cosl famine could be relieved. According to Maurice Shelton, state purchasing agent, the state institutions are now supplied with coal sufficient to last six weeks.
CAR COMP AN Y HAS ONLY 5 DAY SUPPLY
With Indiana coal mines, including the one which supplies one-fourth of the fuel necessary to generate electricity for the Indianapolis Street Railway Company at the West Washington street power plant, idle today, Robert I. Todd, presideut and general manager of the traetlon company, said street cars can be operated On full schedule only four or five days. If coal, ordered and dre to be on route to the power plant, does not arrive In four or five days rush hour service will have to be suspended, which means a •V) per cent curtailment, the fraction head Indicated Should the expected shipments arrive, the power plant’s reserve supply will last more than a week. Traction officials were bending their energies toward plans to continue operation after this period ends. The West Tenth street power plsnt, which supplies the current necessary for car service without the 50 per cent additional rush hour load, still has a fair supply of coal, Mr. Todd said, and the company is not so worried over the look there. MIGHT HAVE TO QI IT ENTIRELY. A continuance of the new mine strike for a period of several weeks, however, might necessitate the discontinuance of street car service altogether, it was said. Meanwhile traction officials said they did not intend to present any special petition for temporary increases in finances to the public service commission because one petition which would have takeri care of and prevented the present situation a long time ago has rested in the hands of the commission ever since last April. Heads of other coal-burning public utilities are watching the situation with anxiety, not only because of the high prices which they must meet, but also because they fear they will have difficulty in getting shipments. J. D. Forrest, secretary and general manager of the Citizens Gas Company, said his company has a four-day reserve supply at the Lnngsdale plant and a tenday supply at the Prospect plant. He declared that he had placed an order this week for twenty-five cars of coal for which he had to pay $10.23 per ton at the mines.

"If you were a Mian you wouldn’t say things like tljat to me,” the Irate clerk continued. “Yes, I suppose you’d attack me,” Mrs. Leathers replied. “I wouldn’t be any more insulted if you had struck me in the face instead of said what you did.” Other College avenue women iu the delegation were indignant over the clerk's action and there was a chorus off: “We’re going to get to vote before long and you just watch out then." VOC KNOW ABOUT BEING LATE— The College and Edison avenue people were put In an unpleasant frame of mind at the outset of the hearing by the failure of Mr. Miller to arrive untjl 10:45 o'clock. The hearing was advertised for 10 o’clock. Spokesmen declared they opposed the changes in Edison avenue and the removal of the tracks from College apenue to that highway because Edisou avenue property owners would be damaged irreparably, because property would be cheapened so that negroes would Invade the district, because a dangerous intersection would be established where the new track route crossed Eleventh street and because they were in favor of straightening the Jog' in College avenue near Massachusetts avenue instead. . j Mr. Miller replied for the tfoard, asserting that the Edison avenue route had i been decided on only after a year of in- j vesllgatio nand deliberation and because 1 U-would be cheaper than to acquire business property at College and Massachusetts avenues necessary to straighten the j “We ure very much surprised that you ! folk have brought in a remonstrance j signed by 400 College a venae residents, because last year, when we bad up with those people the matter of resurfacing their street they only agreed to assent to the improvement after we had given them our word of honor that we would eliminate the eurves In the ear tracks. “We wish the people who signed th/s remonstrance to know that if they fnsist on the College avenue, rather than the Edison avenue Improvement the cost to them will be approximately twice as much.” When one of the remonstrators said he had heard the street car utility is behind the movement to move the trncks to Edison avenue, Mr. Miller replied that the street car company is opposed to it liecanse of the expense Involved. “Rut.” he added, “the street car company is operated for the benefit of the ■ '• "<t the public’s convenience la paramount." , .; and received bids as foliolwg: Resurfacing of Kentucky avenue from S3 feet Southwest to SOO feet southwest of Georgia street: Marlon County Construction Company, $15.70 a lineal foot for granite block; Mead Construction !

CHIEF WRIGHT DENIES RUMOR OF COLLUSION (Continued From Page One.)
and was not in favor of such increase ta this time. C. Gray, a former employe of the Portland Jjpment association, who was appointed to carry out the work of the chief engineer, pending the appointment of a successor, and G. R. Harr, former assistant to Mr. Southard, who succeeds that official, are acting temporarily only, Mr. Wright declared. To allay criticism of the temporary appointment of Mr. Gray, Mr. XVright said the fact that Gray was a former employe of the Portland Cement association should not be held against him any more than if he had been an employe of any other firm. Director Wright denied any argument with Mr. Bishop over his reported usurpation of the latters duties, and stated emphatically that Bishop’s dismissal came about because of a desire to reduce expenses of the commission. He said the entire affair had been planned by the commission and that the dismissal of the three officials had not been done without some forethought. Gov. James P. Goodrich, who returned to the executive offices today, following a tour of the state institutionsr said he had no comment to make on the dismissal of the three officials of the highway commission. “I know nothing of the matter until I read of it in the newspapers," he said. “I understand that Mr. Wright acted in the interest of economy, and I know it is a fact that the highway commission Is up against it, as far as finances are concerned,” he added. Gov. Goodrich’s statement that he knew nothing of the dismissal of the three men until he saw it in last evening's papers, is in Conflict with a published statement that Director Wright "had acted in the rnattef in connection with Gov. Goodrich.” No successor to Mr. Kimmel will be named as the duties of the county afd bureau will be assumed by the new chief engineer, Mr. Wright stated.
