Analyzing tho "ompty church" ovll, Hlshnp Snnford Olmstcnd said tho other dny In Denvor: "Of courso, whoro tho moving plc turo houses nro open Sundnys ompty churches nre nlmost Inevitable, "I hoard tho othor day pf n young ster who was tnkon to a moving plc turo show for tho first tlmo. On his return homo his mother said to him: "Well, how did you llko tho mov ies?" " 'Muvver,' ho nnswored with en thusiasm, if you onco go to tho mov ies you won't novor wnnt to wasto no tlmo on church again'." A one-sided view Is nil right If It Is tho light sldo.
