Trinity Methodist Church

ant called "Fpr He Had Grea
Possessions" will be presented b,
the young people. The scenes al
take place in lovely garden O
Ben Azel's House in Jericho. TIL,
time OF the story includes the Cru
cifixion and Resurrection of Chris
and is quite in keeping with the
Easter season. 1t deals with one
Ben Azel, the rich young ruler OF
the Gospels. He is deeply religious
intensely proud of the nobility OF
his family, of which his wealth is
a symbol, John Parks will take the
part OF Ben Azel. His wife, Ase-
nath and small son will be por-
trayed by Virginia Holloway and
Billy Shaw. Calvin Simpson will
> act the part of Jakkai, the Publi-
can. Fred Marvel will represent
Johanan, a serious young man
conservative and cautious until
emotionally aroused, but willing to
stake everything once his mind is
made up. William Sheath will
have the part of Bar-Timaues, a
blind beggar. Bernice Shaw will
take the part of Hadassah, a young
women, passionately devoted to the
Christ, the daughter of blind Bar
Temaues. William Jester will rep
resent Mason, steward of Ben Azel.
The parts of Leah and Miriam,
handmaids of Asenath will be taxi
en- by Janet Potter and Mabel
Kates.
This is a drama of deep feeling
and those witnessing it should do
so with a spirit of reverence.
