Upstairs, miles of corridors, reception rooms, drawing rooms, anterooms, bedrooms, bathrooms were lined with paintings and stuffed with bric-a-brac. The music room, as big as a cathedral, housed all kinds of instruments, including an antediluvian phonograph and an organ. All the instruments were automatic. In the gymnasium were all sorts of exercise equipment, including an ingenious machine, made in Battle Creek, Mich., which was supposed (but signally failed) to keep the royal rump from becoming imperial.

Elder Davidson opens with a story for the children, then runs off a 30-minute religious movie, or a "family problem" movie with such titles as Love Thy Neighbor and Honor Thy Family. After a brief prayer, Davidson (or a guest preacher) begins the half-hour illustrated sermon. Since May, both drive-ins have been drawing steady crowds. (Top attendance so far, for a visiting minister: 2,000.) Says Adventist Rustad: "We live in a new age, and the churches should keep moving with...
