CINEMA DANGERS
INSIDIOUS AMERICAN TEACHING EFFECT ON YOUNG PEOPLE (United Pross Association—By Electric Telegraph—Copyright) LONDON, 23rd February. The Bishop of London in an outspoken condemnation of companionate marriages and “week-ending” by young unmarried couples, preaching at the Chapel Royal at St. James’s, said that the other day he had the greatest difficulty in persuading a young married woman that went away with a man other than her husband for a day or two, that it was adultery. “She said: ‘What a funny thing to call it-.’ “ 'That’s what the Bible calls it,’ I replied.” The Bishop continued: With this insidious teaching creeping in from America we have to look carefully to see what is the teaching of our Lord. I find that many people make a great deal of the Lord’s kindness to a woman who had been taken in adultery. Of course He was kind, but we must not forget the rest of the Christian religion. The body is a beautiful servant but a terrible master. Christians mustwatch every cinema play and see that it does not bring temptations to the minds ot the young.”
