Lovely E Pageant Presented | Sun-
 day At Church

A packed house at the South High lands Presbyterian church witnessed the presentation Sunday evening, Febru- ary 17, of the pageant entitled The Name Above Every Name" All the seats had been removed from the choir loft and rostrum, which were beauti- fully decorated with evergreens upon . ( background of white cloth.
 The pageant was prepared by Dr. : William Ray D6byns and presented nu- der the direction of Mrs Harold B. . Robinson.
 The entire cast of speakers was at tractively and appropriately costumed to the parts represented and most of the pagan nations of the world were represented by large supporting com pany in typical costumes.
 The seating was most artistic and all the parts spoken with true 'fervor that produced profound impression upon the large and appreciative audience. Beautiful and appropriate songs were interspersed, lead by the choir, and un- ist, Mrs. Minnie McNeiH Carr.
 At the conclusion, a handsome offer; ing was received for the cause of mis- sions and turned over to the woman's auxiliary, under whose auspices the pa geant was produced.
 The following is q synopsis of the pageant:
 PARTI
 without Hope in the World'
 In this is pictured the universal un- rest of the world and the futile sugges- tions of man to quiet this uneasiness. The irrepressible desire for something, the need of which finds no satisfaction {. in the philosophies or ethics of man. Left to these empty cisterns, the thirst of the world can never be assuaged, and, hopeless, the darkness of eternal night settles down.
 PART H.
 Tho Christ, the Savior of tho World'' Beginning with the Old Testament and continuing through the New, the person, character, work, death, resur- nction and glory. of the Lord Jesus Christ are portrayed in the very words of inspirati ton. How He satisfies every longing of every heart which puts its childlike trust in Him. Now His church : is able, by His word, to answer every , query and quiet every honest doubt and distrust by pointing to Him in whom "dwelleth the fitness of the God-head bodily" Who 'spake as never man spake" and who ''is able to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by Him?" Me1
 PART HI
 "Go Ye Therefore and Teach All
 Nations'
 The pathetic appeal of thousand million people, who know not Christ and hence have no hope, is briefly laid before the church and borne in on the hearts of all who know Him and re- ceive His last command as imperative. Summing up the inadequacy of all non ] Christian religions, and arrayiny the conditions of the uneyangelized nations, the obligation to tell this only message to all the world is laid on all Christian hearts, as demanding their utmost con secration and endeavor to carry out the last command of our coming Lord.
