Backus, pastor of the Grace Methodist church, Sunday night. His subject was "Visualizing Christianity, or the Old, Old Story in a New Way." The Rev. Backus took his text from the words of Ilabakkuck, "Write the vision and make it plain upon tables (canvas) that he may run that readeth." In part, the Rev. Backus said: "The moving picture is the greatest power in modern life for good or evil. Orin G. Cocks, secretary of the board of National Review of moving pictures recently declared before the National Educational association, that the local theatre exhibitor has a greater power over the morals of the community than the minister, teacher, and social worker combined. If this be true, then it is time for the Church of Jesus Christ to arise and have its word in the kind of pictures which are being displayed in a community. "Grace Church has installed a moving picture machine. We propose to use it in conncetion with the legitimate work of the church. An ounce of picture is worth a ton of talk, j

It is the best way in all the world. "The church is entitled to the best of everything. The best of art. the best of scholarship, the best of music, the best of buildings, the best of pic - tures. We should yield to no institution in the endeavor to secure the best production of human genius in the sen-ice of the Kingdom of God.
