If shipped all at once, they would require 38,000 box cars or a continuous train from Windsor to Toronto.

The film, "The King’s Man” presents 55 minutes of authentic African life, with even the back­ ground sound and music record­ ed in Africa. This film has been receiving high praise throughout the Unit­ ed States and Canada. William Hockman, Church Ed­ itor of "Educational Screen” in the United States, reports that, “the native music and sounds add a dimension and document­ ary flavor that is something new in missionary reporting.”Of the film Mrs/Ralph Wilson of Angola writes, "We, who have lived in Angola and are familiar with the beauty of its flowers, its music, and who know and love its people, are thrilled by the vividness and accurateness with which our Angola is por­ trayed.” The film has been produced by Rev. Anson Moorhouse of the United Church Committee on Missionary Education, and shows something of the work on church's mission field in gola. The King’s Man is the of an African boy —■ Fredericu Mussili — who becomes a pastor in the African Church. He was born into a world of supersti­ tions and fear. Through the ministration of the Church of Christ in Angola, he develops steadily until fear is overcome by faith. The bis people call sters to others to him. The sequence —the spirit dancers­ one. Never before sound and picture been captured for outsiders. The. grace and rhythm of the Africans are re­ vealed in the singing games of the girls at Means school, The spirit of the Africans as they work is revealed in the singing of women as they pound their corn. The harmony of the Afri­ cans as they sing their hymns has been acclaimed by all who have seen this film. As one observer remarked, "this film is not only informa­ tive, it is a real experience in worship.” The United Church has chosen the "Circuit Riders’ Exhibit” as a novel way of sharing this timely message with all who are interested in our community. that An- story King’s Man, as him, now mini- who reach out of the ovinganji —is a rare have both 138 ,t WM.
