For the first time, as far as known, a motion picture has been shown in a chnroh in New York City, in place of the regular services. This picture was "Destiny, or the Soul of a Woman/ which was exhibited one Sunday in the Roman Catholic Church of the Most Holy Redeemer. On the following Sunday, it is said, the Rev. Father Henry Sippel preached a sermon on the story of the feature picture at the last Mass. The production was shoAvn under the personal direction of the prie6t, and under the auspices of the St. Vincent de Paul Society. Although "Destiny, or the Soul of a Woman" is essentially a worldly theme, Father Sippel deemed it so powerful and impressive in sending home a strong moral, that he arranged to have his flock see it.
