There is no better way to visualize the work of the mission hospitals and dispensaries, to meet the mission teachers and look over the schools, to travel through these faraway lands with evangelists and missionaries, and to become acquainted with the magni tude of the missionary enterprise which you and your congre gation are helping support. Two new lectures have been prepared on films to be shown with a specially constructed machine called the Projectoscope. This machine is a still-picture projector which uses spools of standard size, non-inflammable picture film instead of heavy, fragile, glass slides, with the same results. It only weighs 5 pounds, is equipped with standard auto bulb and necessary re sistance cord, adjusts to any electric light socket, and is so simple a child can operate it. The lectures are typewritten in booklet form and can be read as the operator clicks the spring of the machine to project the pictures on the screen. One lecture, “Call a Doctor” has pictures of our hospitals, physicians, nurses and patients requiring attention in the Su dan. It is a heart-to-heart message, prepared by Dr. J. S. Max well. The second lecture has the title, “Christian Education is Changing the East,” and aims to throw on the screen pictures of our leading educational institutions of our four fields, especially of Egypt and the Sudan, with “close-ups” of some of the boys and girls that will interest and enthuse all who are privileged to see them. The Projectoscope and either film lecture described above with typewritten manuscript is rented for $2.50 and transporta tion one way. THE FOLLOWING LANTERN LECTURES FREE: 1. “Egypt, India and the Sudan” (in one lecture). 2. “Facts and Folks,” Lecture One (on the book). 3. “ Facts and Folks,” Lecture Two (on the book) . 4. “In the Nile Valley’5 (old). 5. “In the Shadow of the Pyramids” (new). 6. “India” (new). 7. “The Sudan” (new). 8. “At the Point of the Lancet” (Egypt— Medical). Note: These lectures include slides and typewritten manuscripts. Stereopticon lantern and screen must be provided. Transportation both ways the only charge.
