CINEMATOGRAPH IN CHURCH.
The vicar of the new Evangelical Garrison Church in Berlin, in hie determination to keep abreast of the times (says the Standard's correspondent) recently introduced something of a novelty in church services, the celebration of the first Advent Sunday being illustrated by cinematograph and magic lantern pictures. Above the altar was stretched a large linen screen, and with the first notes of the organ the church was darkened. As the congregation sang the opening hymn -in darkness, the Ojf Bethlehem appeared on the screen above the altar. As the preacher, invisible among the shadow's, told the wondrous story of the birth of Christianity, his words were illustrated by picture after picture depicting scenes from- the life of the infant Christ. The experiment was so great a success, that the vicar has decided to hold many further services along the same lines.
