BAPTISTS CONDEMN MOTION
PICTURES AND DANCING
Southern Christian Advocate.
\ The Southern Baptist convention
at its recent meeting in Chattanooga
gave out the following unequivocal
deliverance on the motion picture
evi}:
"That the motion picture, as now
conducted, is a large factor in break
ing: down the moral sense and weakening
the moral ^bre of our people, and
undermining serious regard for marriage
and the home, there can oe no
doubt in the minds of informed and
thoughtful persons. Nor is that all,
though that were enough; every crime
and vice iiTthe category is displayed
oft the screen of the motion picture
show, and for the most part, in a manner
to make them more inviting than
repelling. In response to the repeated
protests of the moral and religious
elements of our peopole, the pro
dueers of motion picture films, have
proposed various and sundry reforms.
Oafc of the most sweeping and fari
inching of all their reform platforms
haft just recently been published. We
I? shxvuW be glad if we could accept-this
If at face value, but we are not very
m siuigurne. It is not easy to hope for
f radical reforms from within such a
business. It will be recalled that
many times the liquor traffic reformed,
but always only in response to a
moat insistent public demand and
ffcar for its life. It will be recalled
that all reforms wrought by the traific
upon itself were surface and temporary.
We are much inclined to the
opinion that the same will be true of
th? motion picture business; not that
it.is inherently as bad as was the
liquor traffic, but that those in charge
of it seem to be willing to degrade the
motion picture and debauch the pub'

not meet the case at all for them to
i*y that they give the public what the
public wants. It is not true that the
majority of the American people want
to see indecency and fmmorality on
the screen. But if the majority of
the people do so desire, i^iat would
Hot justify such indecency and immoralit
The truth is that the motion
picture, as it has been conducted,
* - j ii.. 1
HAS serve a constantly iu apueai iu
and f#ate depraved tastes, and then
in turn, has pleaded depraved tastes
As its justification. The motion picture
must be reformed by its promotes,
or must be taken under complete
control by the-state arid used for educational
purposes, or must be abolished,
as has been the liquor traffic.
Unquestionably the motion picture
is one of the most potent factors in
our present-day civilization. It answers,
in a large measure, the ever
present human need for diversion and
recreation; it appeals powerfully and
equally to the sense of pleasure and
to the deeper passions of the soul. We
must not allow this factor to be de*?

voted to evil, it fiouki oe narnesseu
for harmless amusement, for education
and for the Kingdom of God."
And equally strong was its pronouncement
against the modern
dance:
/
"Another gross and growing evil
must be mentioned. It is the modern
dance. One of the most serious and
menacing by-products of the World
war is the great increase in the dance
fcvil and the extravagant extremes to

it is, by immodest dress, by close physical
contact of the sexes, by its lack
of restraint, it is undoubtedly doing
much to undermine the morals of our
young people. It is beyond question,
that in many cases it leads to moral
wreck and ruin. The tiirie has come
V
when, from every pulpit, strong and
persistent protest must be made and
wise and faithful teaching must be
given. The time has come when our
churches, as such, must take a positive
position against this corrupt and
corrupting evil. Undoubtedly the parents
are largely responsible. Your
commission would appeal with all possible
emphasis to all our people, especially
to the pastors and parents,
that this growing menace shall be
checked and abolished.
WHO CAN SEE AS
EINSTEIN SEES US?
By Karl H. Von Wiegand.
Special Radio Dispatch
Berlin, July 7.?To see ourselves
as others see us is always interesting,
even if >it is not always flattering.
This fact is again exemplified in what
Prof. Albert Einstein has to r,ay today
upon his return from America on
the "exaggerated enthusiasm" which
h* declares was shown him in the
United States.
The famous discoverer of the theory
of relativity which still remains
more than relatively incomprehensible
to ordinary minds, uaid:
"This exaggerated enthusiasm for
me and my work struck me as being
a genuinely and peculiarly American
phenomenon. If I understand all
right, it was due largely to the fact
that people over t^iere are tremendously*
bored, far more so than in the
case with us."
Prof Einstein, in an interview ti
day in the* Rotterdam . Courant,

to interest people in America an

j "Did it make a ridiculous inipres

I tainly understood nothing? In trut
II found it comic. But at the sam
: time it was interesting to watch ther
; at their play.
"I firmly believe that it was th
very mysteriousness of the idea whic
they could not grasp that enchante
i them."
| When asked for his impressions o
! the scientific life of America, Einstei
j declared that he had met extraord:

mentioned especially Profs. Nicho

No Comparison.
! "But it would be nonsense," h
j declared, "to compare the generi
j scientific life and knowledge of Amei
;ica with tnat of Europe, just as th
general life of Europe cannot b
j compared with that of America. The
are two wholly different worlds."
| Prof. Einstein spoke feelingly s
ithe deep impression that had bee

"In England," he said, "what ser

far more intensive than in German)
