EASTER PAGEANT AT

EASTER PAGEANT AT
NJ. f. CHURCH
The Easter pageant at the Methodist
church last night was the elimination
of the programs of the day which was
full of good things. The pageant, "New
Life' was given by the primary and
junior departments Of the Sunday school
assisted by women Of the home and
foreign missionary societies, the latter
putting ON the program.
A pretty tableau scene with nine
children grouped, three in the center
and three on either side, the last repre-
senting the sleeping world and the three
Nature, was BEAUTIFULLY expressive.
First the rain, then the snow and lastly
the sunshine awakened the earth to its
spring glory, when all of the children
spoke and sang in joyous appreciation.
The story Of the resurrection in dia-
ogue was beautifully told by Alice
Cole, Margaret Tondo, Jesse Grider,
Billy Foss and Arnold Matson.
Twelve ladies of the missionary Soc
eties, blindfolded and in the costumes
of foreign lands came into the pageant,
cropping for light, with outstretched
hands and pleading words. Commerce
made its appeal; education came, but
still no satisfactory relief. An angel
followed with the open Bible and told
the story Of the Christ, His death and
His resurrection, and Offered the ma
tions life eternal through Him. The
scene was wonderfully effective as the
eyes were opened and the nations saw
the new light with rejoicing. :
Break Forth Into Joy" and "Lift
up your Heads, 0, Ye Gates" two
beautiful Easter anthems, were rem
dered by the choir. The offering Of the
evening totalled 800.

tion of new members featured the morn
