EVIDENCE OF WORK
OF CHRIST TODAY
TOLD IN PAGEANT

THE Everything Christ is the
pageant to be given as the special
Easter service tomorrow night at
the First Baptist church. The
choir, assisted by an able group of
helpers, has been practicing for a
number of weeks in preparation
for the presentation. The purpose
of the pageant is to portray the
truth that Christ lives forevermore.
The first part represents the Three
Wise Men who had followed the
star to Bethlehem, coming to Jeru-
salem to inquire about Jesus, of
whose mighty deeds they had been
hearing. They are met first by a
tax gatherer and soldier, who in
formed them of His crucifixion,
then by the disciples who give an
account of His resurrection. The
Wise Men leave, believing that
Jesus lives forevermore. Part two
represents three modern wise men,
a statesman, a scholar and a bust
ness man, coming TO ask whether
Christ can enter into the policies
of nations and direct the stirring
events of today. They first meet
the profiteer and the militarist, who
declares that his teachings will not
hold today. A missionary enters,
who conducts the wise men to a
Christian hospital in an American
city. They leave, affirming their
belief in the power of Christ to live
in souls transformed. changing
their belief in the power of Christ
to live in souls transformed, chang
ing ruthless competition and greed
into unselfish service.

a preliminary meeting at Lausanne inn
mediately after their arrival.
The official message from Constan-

tion there WAS somewhat easier II was
stated that the Turks were not bccom-
ing any more unconciliatory. The opin-
ion was expressed in official quarters
that in view of the easing Of tension
the allied representatives al CONSTANT

the present TO proclaim a state Of
siege.
There was an appreciable slackening
today Of the tension which prevailed
during the weekend over the success
sive demands Of the Kemalists for
greater control Of Constantinople. Al
though no official announcement was
made. il was stated in allied circles
that sober reflection by the Turks had
