SUNDAY NIGHT PICTURE SERVICES.
Auckland, June 8,
“This is not a picture entertainment, but a service of worship,” said the Rev. Stanley Morrison on Sunday evening in explaining to a crowded gathering in the Mount Eden Congregational Church Hall why lie had introduced Sunday night picture services. A queue formed early at the door of the Church Hall, and at 6.45 four hundred people tilled the available seating accommodation, while-an-other fifty found standing room at the rear and in the aisles. Many of those who were turned away from the hall went in to the church, where the Rev. G. Heigliway conducted an overflow service.
During the service in the hall, hymn books were not used, the words being thrown on the screen. Passages of Scripture were shown, and the congregation and minister recited them together. The film screened was kinema version of Charming Pollock’s play, “The Fool.”
