TO TELL CHRISTMAS
STORY BY MOVIES
Fifth Street Church to Have Unioue
Yuletide Celebration; to
Receive Converts
Not wishing to interfere with the
last Sunday of the Stough evangelistic
campaign, the Fifth Street Methodist
Church did not observe the usual
Christmas Sunday program. As a sub
stitute for the same the program will
be rendered to-morrow.
A number of beautiful anthems have
been prepared by the choir. In the
place of a sermon there will be some
thing new in the way of a Sunday
evening service, in the form of a beau
tiful motion picture entitled. "And
There Was Bight." These pictures
have been pronounced by experts the
world over as among the best that
have yet been produced in this line of
work. Thev are reverential in tone,
instructive in their teachings, and
with it all leave a healthy moral and
spiritual result.
Because of the uniqueness of this
form of religious service, which Is in
line with the plans and purposes an
nounced some time ago by the pastor,
the Rev. B. H. Hart, u large attend
ance will no doubt watch the result.
The church is also following and con
serving the results of the evangelistic
services. At the morning service next
Sunday, a number of the converts will
be received into the church on proba
tion and classes for religious instruc
tion will be formed. These classes will
I be under the direct supervision of the
pastor. To further enlarge the scope-of
the religious interest now manifested
in Harrisburg, special evangelistic ser
vices will be held in this church every
Wednesday and Sunday evening. A
large chorus choir has been organized
and this choir will be supported by an
orchestra of a dozen pieces. These
special services will continue indefi
nitely. Tho Sunday school will meet
in its regular session at 2 o'clock, the
tirst since the beginning of the Stough
meeting.

HARRISBURG TELEGRAPBT
X
1915 and the Church
After a few more days have passed we will say farewell to 1914, and
greet a New Year. There is always more or less sadness in seeing the old
year die, but with the birth of a new period «f time there comes the oppor
tunity for us to examine carefully our record of the past, and to formulate our
- t
plans for the future.
Through the experiences of the old year we have gained knowledge
which we should apply to our lives in 1915. Such experiences should
make us lead better lives.
The birth of the New Year is a time of resolution; not any more so
than every day of the year should be, except in that we face a new period of
time 365 days in length, not one minute of which we can borrow or use in
advance. But with the coming of the year we can plan how we are going
to live our lives in that time.
There is never any time like the present for doing good—doing that
which we know we should do. 191,5 will bring with it many problems
which we individually and collectively will have to solve. Some of them
will be new problems—some of them the ever-recurring fights with ourselves.
Both individually or collectively we need to be more strongly fortified
so that we may accomplish a greater amount of good than we achieved in
1914. Whether this good be for ourselves or a community for the nation
or the world,
The Church Will Be the Greatest Factor
in Making 1915 Happy
As we face the coming of the year 1915 we should examine our lives
of the past and if we find that we have not supported the church of the Living
Christ as we know we should have, our one earnest resolve should be tha*
we will
