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
