Scenes from Our Sauiour's Life, and
Establish an Annual Nativity Performance

spirit in the audience of townspeople
and country people that, by common con-
sent, Holy Night" is established as an
annual observance in Pomfret Perhaps
its Christmas Eve representation of the
Nativity may come to vie in worldwide
interest with the Passion Play" at ODE
rammergau.
Recognition of no special act of provi-
dence actuated the people Of Pomfret to
enact the drama of the Nativity as
mark of their thankfulness-as the peo-
pie of Oberammergau in a similar way
celebrated their escape from the plague
1t was the desire of these New England
villagers simply to celebrate in an ap-
propriate manner, and with reverential
feeling, that event of nineteen hundred
and thirteen years ago which was to
cast the grateful spell Of Christianity

ture In fact, this idea was so general
that the large audience exhibited an at
titude more reverent than is often ex-
hibited by church congregations.
The Introductory music, before the
curtain went up, helped. First scatter
ing individuals, and then the entire au-
dience joined in the familiar airs OF

by Night" "Once in Royal David's City"
ut Came Upon a Midnight Clear" and
The Little Town of Bethlehem"
Then, while the hall was lighted only
by candles, the Gospel o: the Nativity
was read There was absolute quiet.
The story of the Annunciation, of the
Birth in the Manger and of the visit of
the wise men, as told so majestcally in
st. Luke and st. Matthew, seemed to
touch every heart.
AS prelude to the first scene a voice
behind the scenes, supported by hum
ming chorus, sang the old German hymn,
Silent Night"
Imagine living persons in celebrated
paintings of the Annunciation, and you
will appreciate the emotions of this sim
pie New England audience when it be-
held Mary kneeling in prayer, while the
Angel swept out from the shadows with
a lily in pits appraised hand, to electrify
the Virgin with the words:
Hail thou that art highly favored,
the Lord is with thee; blessed are thou
among women"
The face OF Mary is filled with won
der. At sight OF the Angel she is at first
bewildered, frightened. Then the mes
sage sinks into her heart Her arms are
crossed on her breast. With her head
bowed upon them she makes submis-
sion
Behold the handmade of the Lord: be
it unto me according to thy word
The angel departs AS the curtain falls
many In the audience are sobbing.
Now is seen an open feld-gloom
everywhere, except for the dim light OF
lantern here and there. Shepherds are
seen lying upon the ground, their slaves
beside them, faithful dog among them

oyer the peoples OF all lands.
The beautiful and inspiring scenes of
the Nativity, rather than those of the
Passion, were selected for the substance
of the Pomfret Christmas Eve drama.
Some leading spirits of the town started
neighborhood association as means
of developing and carrying out the idea.
The plan seemed to touch all hearts. It
promptly broke down all those barriers
of creed usually of such Importance in
the social life of small towns.
Suddenly it seemed that the three
church societies of Pomfret-Congrega
tional, Episcopal and Roman Catholic
had forgotten all their differences of re-
ligious opinion. There was perfect unity
of interest in paying this reverential
tribute to the occasion of the birth of

THE hills that shelter the little
town Of Pomfret, Connecticut, now
share with the ruggeder slopes of
the Bavarian Alps at Oberammergau the
honor of marking the scene of modern
miracle" play.
At both these widely separated spots
on the globe drama dealing with the
life Of our. Saviour is reverently per-
formed by the villagers. For more than
half century the peasants and artisans
Of Oberammergau have enacted the
Passion Play which, latterly, has
drawn visitors from all over the world.
On Christmas Eve, just past, the vii
layers Of Pomfret presented their drama
of Holy Night" dealing with the ma
tivity of Christ. The reverent spirit in
which the several scenes we're depicted
reproduced with such intensity that same

ment found the Irish, Swedish, English
and Scotch, Italian, Portuguese, Cana
dams, negroes and few Swiss resi-
dents eager to cooperate.
The completed organization showed a
large majority of working people-do-
nestle workers, day laborers, carpenters
and builders, painters, plumbers, farm.
ers. From these humble ranks the actors
in the sacred drama were drawn.
Boys from the farms were trained for
the shepherds. Working girls became
angelic hosts. Of the three wise men,
one was a Frenchman, one Moor and
one of native New England stock-by
occupation plumber, a day laborer and
the village postmaster, respectively.
The retinues of the Magi were com.
posed Of schoolboys. An Italian laborer
enacted the role of Joseph, a young
Irish girl that of Mary. That Italian
workingman was astounded at the honor
OF appearing in the character of San
Giuseppe" But his performance indi-
Gated that no art could have enabled him
to act the part of Mary's husband with
more gravity and reverence.
With the shepherds was an actor-a

ers, to be thoroughly imbued with the
gentle spirit of the occasion This was
"Laddie," a beautiful collie. "Laddie"
came with the shepherds to see the Holy
Babe in the manger. He was as decorous
as was the mild-eyed COW whose pres
ence lent realism to the scene.
From Bible illustrations and religious
paintings the costumes we're correctly
designed and made. The choirs and in.
strumentalists of the Pomfret churches
prepared a programme of music adapted
for the occasion, much of 1t from the
old classical composers, including Haydn
and Handel
convenient stage was erected at one
end of large, barn-like structure, upon
which the three scenes were set--the
Annunciation, the shepherds with their
focks and the three wise men, and the
stable with its manger.
Although the preparations had in
yolved two or three score of the vii
layers for several weeks, the multitude
which gathered in the hall on Christmas
Eve had only vague idea OF what they

In the distance their f1ocks are seen, also
at rest. Presently radiance, drawing
nearer from a distance, Eliminates the
scene. The shepherds are afraid, Then
voice cheers them with its glorious
message: .i1

In the distance the Heavenly Hosts
gather, and the angelic choir sings the
glad tidings: GLORY to God in the high
est, and on earth, peace, good will toward
men,"
The light is gone. The shepherds con-
fer together-they hasten after the an
gepc host toward Bethlehem.
The rapt audience seems to be living
in that wonderful century so long past.
With the shepherds it has fastened to

that manger, a pageant Of the worlds

vHE stars predict that in 1918 there
will be universal suffrage in all
. the civilized world.
But further than that the stars tell just
what public offices woman is fitted for
and, as all things find their proper place
in time, just what offices she will control
exclusively after the necessary period of
trial and disappointment is over In
reading this horoscope of woman in poll
tics one finds many surprising things.
The most astonishing is that the stars
prove her to be the natural treasurer
of humanity!
will now explain how the stars show
all this.
Beginning from the sign Aries the
twelve houses are evenly divided as re-
CARDS their classification of sex. That is
to say, all the odd numbered houses from
one to eleven are designated "Mascu-
line" Those from two to twelve, Fem
inine." The planets Neptune, Uranus,
Saturn, Jupiter, Mars and the Sun are
considered Masculine But when Mars
is in Scorpio Ia feminine sign he par
takes of that sex. Venus, Mercury, the
moon; the moons north and Soutn nodes
Neonis and Candu), and the part of for
tune, are also Feminine"
But Mercury is convertible that is, it
takes on the nature, or sex, of the house
1t Is in, or the planet it conjoins. For
instance, when in Gemini it Is "Mascu-
line" but when in Virgo it is Fem
inine." The part of fortune is always
the lady of the second house (the house
of money!, In every scheme of the heav-
ems. Hence, 1t will be seen that the sex"
Is evenly divided between the planets.
Let the incredulous and skeptical doubt
II they will--the heavenly bodies, ages
ago, declared and 5ignifed, in their eter-
nal revolutions, that man and woman
must rule equally, and that woman is the
equal Of man in governing power
A study of the zodiacal map and houses
will show that house ten is the significa-

ping, law and religion; masculine" man.
House eleven, diplomatic affairs, mas
culine;" ruled by man only.
House four, cemeteries; house six. san
itation hospitals, etc. house eight, bu-
reau of vital statistics, morgues; house
ten, already noted above, and house
twelve, prisons, reformatories, insane
asylums ETC., should all be under the con-
troll of women. House five, schools ETC.,
should be under the supervision of both
male and female. Venus, feminine re-
joices in the fifth house. The change and
reforms in the present stand pat" con-
sentative system of government is
evinced by the plaet Uranus's position in
the sign AQuarius, its own domain. This
places Uranus-by aspect-in position
that is trine (the strongest for good to
the seventh house (the public and inter.
national affairs), and in seXtile good to
the first house (social and local affairs).
Jupiter's transit through the tenth
house-the government-favors the cause
OF woman suffrage. But the opposition of
Neptune in Cancer retards progress. Nep-
tune will soon leave Cancer compelled
by the divine law Of natural force-des-
pite his slowness of motion--to give up"
the unfair interception. Hence Jupiter,
reinforced by the good influences of both
Venus and Mercury. Taurus and Libra,
marches on to Aquarius, where he shifts
his position to trine of Venus and Libra,
the most powerful aspect for good. But
Neptune will then be in Leo, the oppos-
ing sign of Aquarius, and agin the unfair
battle will be renewed. But this time
Jupiter will be, by reinforcement, strong
er; Neptune depleting weak Jupiter, that
grand old dispenser OF unselfish gener-
osity, continues his march onward, gain
ing in strength; overtakes and is Joined
by Uranus, until finally. in the year 1918,
he arrives at the sign Gemini--the ruling
sign of the United States - where he
places his position in trine aspect to IRA
nus.
Then will the final complete and uni
yersal victory for woman suffrage be
won.
