Bible Pageant to BE
Presented This Week

IN the midst Of the gayety OF the
week comes a thought Of the
spiritual meaning of Christmas.
To this the rendition of 1.-THE Mes
siah" and many beautiful cantatas
contributes, and the presentation of
many pageants. Notably there's
the Bible pageant, which Is to be
given on Wednesday and Thursday
evenings at the Luther Place
Memorial Church, Thomas Circle.
1.-THE Word and the Way" it is
called, and 1t gives in fourteen
colorful and impressive scenes
glimpses Of the wonderful story of
patriarchs. priests and prophets of
old, looking forward to the long
promised Messiah and the fulfill
ment of His mission on earth.
The music incidental to the pag-
cant is wholly in keeping with the
religious theme of the scenes as
they progress toward the close of
the Old Testament prophecies and
come nearer and nearer to the
Little Town of Bethlehem" where
wise men and shepherds find, at
last, their faith and search re-
warded in the manager. Even the
strains Of organ and violin heard
during the earlier episodes of the
story change to those of the harp,
as voices sing the Heavenly an
thems of the nativity scenes.

Christ. which has been arranged
for production by Miss Bess Davis
Schreiner and directed by Mrs.
Marie Moore Forrest. a number
Of talented musicians as we'll as

sincerity of feeling and beauty of
thought, a fitting festival of the
spirit Of the Christmas time.
