OT long ago we watched the making of some film scenes depicting post-Civil War conditions in the West. We had not planned on this; our reason for being there was that we needed to see someone who was helping to make the movie, and this seemed to be our only chance to talk COUNTING with him. The most impressive thing about what we saw was that a motion picture camera can go to fantastic lengths in showing things as they are not. We were told that during the previous week a horse had jumped off a cliff and when the scene was resumed, the horse was landing at the bottom of another cliff THE some thirty miles away and a day later. Movie viewers would see both scenes within a few moments in a realistic creation of something that did not actually happen. Of course there must be gore in a film of this sort, and a new substance was used that was supposed to look like the real thing to the color cameras. COST Before the filming of one scene, a plastic bag of this red substance was placed in the pocket of an actor, and he was wired to a switch controlled by the effects man. When he was shot, the red liquid spurted realistically from his By chest. EUGENE LINCOLN Talking to the effects man we learned that he really did not approve of such stark realism. "But," he said, "that's what the public wants." He went on to inform us that the imitation blood is more expensive than the real would be if we were to need blood for a transfusion. Since then we have pondered over many make-believe things that turn out to be more expensive than the genuine. Adam and Eve learned this to their sorrow when they partook of the fruit; Cain discovered it when he of- fered a sacrifice that was not according to the command; and countless others since have learned the same lesson the hard way. We have been told that "the wages of sin is death," and that "sin is the transgression of the law." Yet countless persons feel that the false philosophy of situation ethics is the real thing for these times. It is sad to know that a day of reckoning will come, even in this life, when it will be discovered that the false article was more expensive than the genuine. • True, it costs a lot to follow the Word of God; but it costs infinitely more to follow the fictional rewards of the unrighteous.
