MOSES FLIRTING.

Speaking of his experiences in the slums of Sydney before a meeting of the Ladies' Home Mission Union -at the Chapter House Rev. H. N. Baker related how, in his endeavor to create interest in mission work among the people living in the slum area, he had experimented with a cinematograph. He achieved an astonishing result at his first attempt. ''The worst of a film," said the reverend gentlemen, "is that you never know what's coming. I took great care to inquire into the contents of this film, which I was told was a Bible story about Moses. Being reassured on the point, 'Moses' was screened. It had hardly been going a minute when to my horror there was Moses flirting, and doing it uncommonly well. Where the idea was got from I don't know. They did not get it out of the Scriptures and I do not know whether, there is any other authority for lbs strange action of Moses. To make matters worse," concluded Mr Baker, "the people laughed uproariously."
