Baptists To Stage
 Christmas Pageant
Narrative for Sunday Evenings Presentation Written
 By Rev. David P. Gaines-FestivaI to Follow

The Christmas pageant at the First Baptist church will presented Sunday evening at 6 o'clock and will be followed by the parish Christmas festival and fellowship hour.
 The pageant, which will be given in the main worship4room of the church, will be different in arrange ment and lighting effects from the usual nativity tableaux. It will con- sist of a prologue, six episodes, and an epilogue, in which more than seventy persons will have parts. The prologue and the scene of the journey of Joseph and Mary to Bethlehem will be developed in a manner to suggest the social and political state of the world into which Jesus was born. In the lat ter scene, many characters portray ing all stations of life will appear, including Roman soldiers symbol izing the spirit of war which at the time held the earth in its grip. The other scenes will be presented against this background; and the birth of Jesus, while robbed of none of its mystical meaning which arouses wonder and reverence, will be seen to have been indeed "a light in darkness" The annuncia- ton scene will be reproduced from last years pageant which occasion ed special interest, as will certain other unique features of the service.
 The pageant will be conducted by Miss Thelma D. Race; and Rev. David P. Gaines, who has written the narrative, will be the reader. The musical accompaniment, con- sisting of carols and instrumental parts. has been arranged, and will be directed, by Mrs. George Carl- son. Everett Swanson will assist at the organ. Miss Gertrude Buttery will render violin solos, including Silent Night, Holy Night" During the annunciation, Miss Carolyn Ives will sing Gounodis Ave Maria" The musical setting for the manager
