The Importance of the L. & N. Railroad as
a coal-carrier is thus indicated; as is also the
manner in which the road gives cooperative
service to the Nation, as well as direct service
to the territory through which it runs.
Although coal carrying is one of the least
remunerative items in railroad transportation.
the Louisville & NASHVILLE Railroad recognizes
it's obligation to the public in this regard and
continuously uses all its resources in the full

CHRISTMAS PAGEANT IN N. P.
CHURCH

On Sunday evening last the M. P.
Church was the scene of a Christmas
Pageant of stirring significance and
unusual beauty-unique, uplifting and
instructive.
The beautiful church with tinted
walls, frescoed ceiling and subdued
lights was fitting place for this mar
Velous picture Of two thousand years
ago; depicted on big canvas stretch
ed across the entire pulpit recess,
showing the olden city of Bethlehem,
with it's crystal streams Of beauty,
clustering vineyards, winding roads
and antique buildings which look to-
day almost exactly as did they on that
first Christmas morning.
Then just as one was being gripped
by the scene of Bethlehem and anew
accepting it as the most blesT :. pot of
earth, across the dimme0 panorama
softly, slowly, reverently came the
boys and girls of the church, wearing
many colored robes and turbans, sing
ing songs and telling of the hope
ever the hope of the promised Mes
siah; when suddenly they were ac-
costed by the shepherds, coming in
from the plains, and describing the
angels visitation with the mysterious
light and music they had seen and
heard.
Next the wise men bearing gifts to
the Christ Child, were heard in the
distance, as they came following the
star to Bethlehem.
Mr.. Dryden had personally directed
the pageant, and the spirit of his ear
nest pleadings for men to accept Jes-
us Christ as a personal Saviour, and
the sadness of having no room in the
heart for Him was clearly reflected in
the person and confession of the inn
keeper, who so sorrowfully bewailed
the fact that he had not made room
in the inn for the virgin mother.
The pathos, the regret, sorrow and
penitence of the inn-keeper was the
hinge of the picture and the exact
story Of free salvation today-no room
for Jesus!
No matter how many times the
SHOWS of Christmas shall fall upon
the First Methodist Protestant Church
of Milford, ever, always, shall stand
the earnest pleadings, faithful pray
ers, and gospel sermons-never fail
ing in the whole and exact truth Of
the Bible-which during these years
of pastorate of Rev. G. 2. Dryden have
been given to its people; these will
never be forgotten, never fail to bring
forth an abundant harvest Of sheaves
in the last great reckoning to this no
BILE preacher and kindly pastor friend.
