An Evening Worth While at the
Baptist Cchurch
Last evening at the Baraca-Phila-
thea Hall, was given a most beauti-
full and effective pageant, FLORIDA
for Christ" Those taking part were
the members of the Young Woman's
Auxiliary and the Girls Missionary
Society of the church. The setting for
the play was particularly pretty-with
shaded pink lights, baskets of coral
vine, rugs and easy chairs and a
couch piled high with pillows. The
scene was supposed to be in the liv-
ing room of handsome home. The
characters taking part were:
Girlhood, Miss Gladys Osborne.
Womanhood: Miss Marguerite Por-
ter. Substitute Mrs. w. A. Goin.)
Spirit of Love, Marie Robertson.
Spirit of Light, Lucille Osborne.
Spirit of Service, Mary Gates.
State of Florida, Louise Booze.
Representing the needs of Florida
were: Myrtle Brinson. Mabel Atkins,
Maude Marshall, Gertie Brigance,
Myrtle Hall and Henrietta Livings-
ton.
Mrs. S. A. Stanley gave the pro-
logue. The scene opened with Girl
hood miss Osborne) longing for the
higher and better things but becom-
ing discouraged by the indifference
Of older christians 20 the great cause
of missions the greatest thing in the
world" Womanhood MRS. Goin),
begged that she would not give up her
ideals. Girlhood fell asleep and had
a vision. Soft music played and one
by one came the sweet spirits of Love,
Service and Light, each bringing her
own message and together sweetly
singing FLORIDA Needs You Today"
The closing scene was most effective
as Miss Booze bore aloft the U. S. flag
and Miss Mary Gates the white flag
Of the cross, the chorus singing, "Loy-
atty to Christ" At the close Mrs.
Van Hood, who desires to be known
only as the girls friend and helper,
made short appeal using as her
theme SIN the beginning God"
Mrs. w. A. Coin, guardian of the
Y. W. AS. and Mrs. Calvin West Of
the Girls Auxiliary, deserve great
credit for planning the lovely enter
tainment and the spirit in which it
was carried out by the girls was one
of beautiful conservation to the better
things fife.
Following the entertainment was a
social hour in which all made merry.
One particularly humorous phase was
keeping school," led by one of the
popular Ocala high school teachers,
Miss Minnie Lee Carlisle, who drilled
her class most strenuously in geogra-
ply. Rev. Bunyan Stephens, the be-
loved pastor who so thoroughly enters
into everything pertaining to his
young people, was given five dement's
because he forgot to rise" when he
answered his question; however, as
one small champion declared, he
didn't miss" and was not turned
down."
Dainty sandwiches and iced tea
were served by Mrs. Seymour, Mrs.
Gary and others. The attendance was
large and it was indeed an "evening
worth while"
