The World In Baltimore

Unusual preparations, are being
made for the presentation of the Pa
geant of Darkness and Light in con-
nection with "The World in Balti-
more", the great Missionary EXPOSE
ton to be held in the Lyric Theatre
and the Exposition Hall adjoining,
which has been especially erected for
the Exposition. Nearly four thou
sand persons have been enrolled from
the churches of Baltimore and vicin-
ity as volunteers for the Grand Choir
of the Pageant and AS participants on
the platform, and they are being re-
hersed nearly every night to take part
in the production of this great rclig-
ious spectacle. The picturesque cos
tunes used at the presentation of the
pageant at the Orient in London in
1908, at the World in Boston last
year, are to be used in Baltimore.
The Pageant of Darkness and Light
is a great musical drama, a spnctacu-
lar representation of triumphal events
in the history of missions. There are
five episodes or scenes, and in each
about POO persons participate.
The first episode, known as the
Episode of the North, represents a
camp of American Indians in the far
northwest.
In the South Episode, which is AZ
RIGA, David Livingstone, the mission
airy explorer, ministers to a wounded
Arab slave trader. Shortly after,
Stanley enters, at last finding Living
stone. He bcgs the missionary to re-
turn to England, but he refuses, say
ing his work is not done.
India is the scene of the East Epi-
sode. A child is taken from the mis-
sionaries in order that she may be
formally married to a man selected
as her husband in babyhood.
In the Episode of the West, kapi-
olani, the Christian Queen of Hawaii,
defes Pele, the goddess of the Lake
OF Fire in the crater of the volcano
kilauea. The volcano is in eruption
The priest of Pele claims victims to
appease the wrath of the goddess.
He chooses young bridegroom and
a child, and is leading them to the
crater to be thrown into the Lake of
Fire. Queen Kapiolani comes quick
and defes the priest. She asccnds TO
the crater, and, after the fashion Of
Elijah on Mt. Carmel taunts and de-
fes the goddess and breaks the power
of Pelc forever.
The final episode is Il great process
sional. Those who have participated
in the four previous episodes march
from the corners of the pageant hall
to the platform and arrange them
selves in tableaux around cross,
singing the closing chorus.
The Pageant is to be given in the
Lyric Theatre afternoon and evening
during the five weeks of the Exposi-
ton.
1t is regarded AS one of the greatest
religious spectacles of the century.
An orchestra of thirty pieces will pro-
vide the instrumental music and there
will be Grand Choir of 300 voices.

The Price Anderson Debate as View
ed by the Anti-SalOOn League.

ed by the Anti-SaloOn League.
The Anti-Saloon League of Maryland
has issued the following official state
ment concerning the outcome and effect
of the Salisbury debate up on the local
option record of Hon. Jesse D. Price,
President of the Maryland Senate:
"We expected Senator Price's friends
to stand by him. Wewere aiming at the
great body of temphrance voters, not
part of his political organization, who
want the truth but were not certain that
the Senator opposed the local option bill.
The debate has removed all possible doubt
by forcing the Senator, in order to justi-
fly himself, into attacking the statewide
bill before great audience of his own
constituents and into openly lining up
with the Baltimore City liquor ring, all
of whose city Senators were present to
vouch for him. These were the points
which the League charged and with them
outcome.
LAS an evidence of the opinion of the
temperance people of Salisbury, the
League reports that the Salisbury field
day on the Sunday following the debate
was the best in the history of the League.
Senator Prices church, the Southern
Methodist, refused to open its pulpit to
league speaker, but the Methodist Prot
estant and Presbyterian churches sub
scrbed more to carry on the league work
than ever has been subscribed by all the
churches of the town."

all the men can ever be

At any rate we'll vote this time,

rulers of the earth. They al~ ..ys
have good toe7hold at the kick

is impossible to take it away from

under this sign.
The last seven days of November
wifi be under the influence of Sag
ittarius the Archer. The best any

is the vice-presidency. Still these
