when the Star Shone" is a very
wonderful creation, spectacular and
inspiratfonal. The pageant begins with
'"The Voice of Prophecy" coming down
the Jerusalem road and finally Pro-
phecy is on the stage. Here her sister
y,
clasp hands as the daughters of time.
The women with water Jars cross the
scene-The Roman soldiers are busy
enforcing the collection of taxes and
looking after the enrolment.
Judith with her children move into
the scene being very anxious about the
return in safety of the Rabbi from Jeru
salem The Rabbi returns and makes
known the wonderful news he heard
at Jerusalem and about being even in
4h0 ~f Dat l. Lob
boys and girls gather about him to
hear this and other stories he has to
tell-Joel the servant is his constant
attendant yet cannot believe in the
strange things taking place. Bethle-
hem men and women-being passer-
bys catch up the story. The shepherds
leaving their fiocks move into the Ju-
dean village to tell their strange and
unusual story. The women tell Of the
visit of the strangers of Nazareth who
came seeking shelter but found none
at this point the Wise Men and their
train come in their quest to find out
the meaning of the star-which had so
strangely appeared and was guiding
them hither. They are welcomed by the
Rabbi and the people of Bethlehem.
Each group in turn tells the story of
the strange events and phenomena and
makes bold to understand their signifi-
cancce. The Rabbi and Judith succeed
in clearing the minds of all-and each
dlscerns the meaning of the strange
wonder on that holy night.
Joel the servant is also quick to be-
1ieve the testimony now of so many
witnesses-so that which was at first
voice-afterward a child-is now
klng-and at best the Prince of Peace
of this world and the world to come
and all may follow Him.
The music is a large and thrilling
part of the entire pageant and is inter-
woven and carefully set into the fabric
so that the performers are carrying at
intervals their respective songs. The
great songs to give the pageant fin
1shed form and beauty are 1.-The Voice
of Prophecy" 1.-THE Wise Mems Quest"
1.-The Song of the Open Heart" Home
ward Song to Wise Men," "The Song
of the Field by Night" 1.-The Prince Of
Peace" 1.-THE Bethlehem Chorus" 1.-THE
Counter Point Chorus" and Recession
al, to the cradle of the King. In the
Counter Point Chorus" there are five
parts and melodies so interviewer that
all will be rendered in unison,
