A Graphic Pictorial Lecture

The thrilling story of the early Christians was most graphically told and illustrated by Henry Herbert Booth at Baptist church Sunday evening. Every available seat in the church was taken and scores of people were turned away.

It was no idle picture show but a lecture made more interesting by a series of connected and well arranged views, not copies of artists pictures but were taken from life. A company of 600 Orientals had posed for Mr. Booth and having their heart and soul in the work. As pictures they were perfect. They glowed with all the brightness and coloring of Oriental life.

The lecture opened with the events in the ministry of Jesus Christ. One picture after another was thrown upon the canvass until the entire story of the crucifixion, the early martyrs, the life of St Paul, of St. Peter, the persecution of Nero and the life in the Catacombs was told and illustrated.

Mr. Booth is a pioneer in the work of preaching the gospel by eye as well as by ear. If he is given the loyal support of Christian workers he will be able not only to illustrate his own sermons but those of others and put these pictorial sermons in the hands of all ministers.
