scene in the Temple and the lonely
walk back over the Mount. Part
two carries the Supper scene;
washing the disciples feet; the
Garden Of Gethsemane, Jesus ap-
pearance before Plate and the
tragedy and triumph of Calvary.
The Soloists for the occasion
are: soprano, Mrs. Boyde Patrick
and Mrs. Geraldine Scroggins;
contralto, Mrs. Arlee Blakey; tenor
and baritone, Messrs. Ruben and
Jerry Hargraves. The public is in
vited to attend.
