LEONARD SACHS, who plays the title role in the film "John Wesley" which will be shown Sunday at the Methodist church. New Religious Film, "John Wesley" to be Shown Here Sunday The new motion picture "John Wesley" is coming to Heppner, and it will be shown at the Hepp. ner Methodist church on Sunday, January 9 at 7:30 p. m., according to the pastor, Rev. L. D. Boulden. The feature-length film is in the new Eastman color and was produced by the radio and film commission of the Methodist church in cooperation with J. Arthur Rank. It brings to the screen for the first time the dynamic and color ful 18th century evangelist and educator. John Wesley's miraculous res cue from a burning house at the age of five, at the beginning of the film, forecasts the dramatic and eventful life which unfolds in this story a man of slight sta ture but of impelling influence upon his contemporaries and up on history. The English clergyman thought his venture in America as a mis sionary to the Indians in the Georgia colony was a failure, but it was the kind of failure which opened the door to the discovery of a religious certainty he had been seeking. Furthermore, this discovery, In which John Wesley felt his "heart strangely warmed", led him to face mobs unafraid, and to ride 25000 miles on- horseback, changing the masses of English people from a low state of moral degradation to sturdy and happy uprightness. The Rev. Mr. Boulden explained that while the film is being re tensed onlv to Methodist churches during the initial period, the j it, in;itoH tn spa thp nic- ture at the Heppner Methodist cnurcn Rietmann home Wednesday of last week were Mr. and Mrs. B.
