Moving Picture Age (Jan-Dec 1922)

September, 1922 MOVING PICTURE AGE 21 and leave something over. We never fail on this, and it is gratifying to know that the people care enough to finance the undertaking. I can say that, whereas we had given up our regular Sundayevening service, we are now reviving this service, and the pictures are bringing out great audiences. If the pictures will bring people to our churches on Sunday nights who otherwise would not come, I say that we owe it to the Kingdom of God to use this legitimate means of getting attendance. The church needs the people, and the people need the church. People need the service of worship, and there is no trouble about getting them to be reverent; if we get them there we can give them inspiration. The time is nigh, yea, even now is, when pictures will play an important part in building the Kingdom of God here on earth. e. f. gh. i.
