Summary

I believe the best way to teach children the great lessons of morality is to show them on the film the beautiful stories of the Bible,' said the Rev. Carey Bonner, general secretary of the Sunday School Union to a Daily Chronicle representative recently. Mr. Carey Bonner is a member of the committee of the Kinema Mission movement, the object of which is to utilise the film for moral purposes. He also stated that 'Besides stories from the Bible, there are many fine books with great moral lessons, which might be filmed. Some of these have already been put on the screen, but there are many more which ought to be filmed. We shall take action as soon as we have the report of the Commission which is inquiring into the physical effects on children of attendance at cinema shows.'
