“Magic Lanterns. These have a wonderful power of attracting the careless, and helping us bring the Gospel. For ₤10 a considerable number of most useful slides are offered to us, which we can lend again and again this winter, and in the future we should be greatfull if any one were willing to assist in this way. The Lanterns have been used wonderfully in the past by God's Spirit in changing the lives in some of the worst characters. Cheque may be sent to Headquarters 130 Edgeware Rd., W. Regulation first rate 4 wick Magic Lantern, 10 feet diagram, ₤2 17s 6d. All sorts of slides lent n hire 1s per dozen, by C.A. provider. Apply Headquarters for his address. Those from Miss Cheshire are free. Note- The demand for Magic Lantern Slides being now so great, and our present stock very small, it is almost impossible to meat the numerous applications made for them; we would therefore remind our Captains of the absolute necessity of returning the slides without delay, as neglecting to return them the following day, may prevent their being used at another station.”
