30 MOVING PICTURE AGE January, 1922 ANNOUNCING "THE VOICE OF THE LAND" a series of MOTION PICTURES of the entire BIBLE LANDS 50,000 feet of film THE LARGEST FILM PRODUCTION IN THE WORLD portraying every place of Bible mention, every city, every mountain, every river or lake in Palestine, of historic value. Lay your finger on the name of any place of scriptural interest in your Bible — we have it. A series of pictures that tell just what church films should tell; just what you would see if you carried your congregation to the Holy Land — and much more. Every nook and corner of the land, not only the beaten ways of travel, but also the remote and unfrequented sections have been filmed to make the series complete. Characters of every type, their manners, customs and habits are elaborately shown in their native environment. Just what the churches have wanted, asked for and demanded.

It can be used at any time in the lesson, as often as desired, without any bother to switch on the lights and get out a wall map. No real teacher of geography will attempt to go far without a map in some form. These slides can be obtained in large variety at a price that is low, and they will be found indispensable. In the past we frequently used the map from a textbook by means of the reflectoscope or opaque projector. To obtain satisfactory results the room must be somewhat darker than is feasible in our regular classroom not specially fitted up for projection, and even at that the results from opaque projection have never been as satisfactory as with slides. If you possess someone among your teaching force or advanced pupils with a little artistic skill, you can secure plain map slides at a very low cost and tint them in desired colors, to represent rainfall, topography, or any desired arrangement. Some skill, of course, is required, but broad outlines, not artistic effects, are what is mainly desired. We may leave Japan, then, with the idea that we have a fair degree of knowledge of the'people of this island world; something of the physical and climatic difficulties under which they labor, what steps they have taken to solve those difficulties, why Japan has risen in the last 70 years to a place in the front rank of world powers. Nor has this study been drudgery for teacher or pupils ; it has been for the most part both keen enjoyment and a sympathetic understanding of the real life of the great nation in the Land of the Rising Sun. The Land of the Christ (Continued from page 13) The people had a very friendly attitude towards us and our project, and the carpenters heartily gave us the use of their shop, permitting us to photograph their primitive method of carpentry. On our way from this point to the little village of Cana we were just in time to witness an Oriental wedding. Of course we thought of the first miracle our Savior performed at Cana, when he changed the water into wine at the wedding. It was late afternoon, and the road to the well was alive with women carrying water in the picturesque water jars, gracefully tilted on the top of their heads ; goats and sheep and camels and cows were wending their way to the fountain to drink. Nathaniel lived here, whom Jesus met on the shores of Galilee and whom he called to be a disciple. It was about the shores of the Sea of Galilee that Jesus did his mightiest works. From here he called most of the men who became apostles, and he considered this his home. On these shores were Caperneum, Bethsaida, Magdala, Gadard; and during his lifetime, no doubt, the present city of Tiberias was in process of construction, which today is one of the most modern, prosperous, and pleasant towns in Palestine. The physical features of the Sea of Galilee are just as they were in Jesus' day, but the methods of navigation on the beautiful lake are different. A small gasoline launch was placed at our disposal for the photographing trip around the entire shore. It is very dangerous to traverse the eastern shore, but it was a splendid opportunity to gather material that otherwise could not have been secured. We left Tiberias more reluctantly than did we any other city of the trip. Next we followed the Jordan to its source, passing close to the foot of Mount Herman and Damascus. Damascus is one of the oldest cities of the world, and today has NOW READY FOR YOUR USE IStrharii III Shakespeare's Historic Classic, Featuring That Eminent Tragedian, Frederick Warde Note: A few good territorial rights open for exchange-men interested in this production.
