Indeed, the script had been written for well longer than that. There was to be a lead role and his part was well rehearsed. The curtains would soon open and the audience would be breathless. The cast numbered into the thousands. There had never been an undertak ing quite like this. This was to be the world pre mier that would change the course of history. “Are the hosts assem bled?” asked the mod erator to a key member of the cast. The cast member could hardly contain himself as he an swered: “They are quite ready, sir, and the moment is peak for performance! They say the King has arrived and as sumed His sta tion. The light is fixed upon Him as that of a super nova. The audience is in place. The date has arrived and this is our moment to shine!” Breathlessly he gestured toward the curtain, the vale which held back the light from the darkened arena. The moderator was to appear first as a maestro appears before the concert. After a brief announcement, the assembled cast of thousands would give expression in the fullest measure to the role as signed each participant. With all dignity befitting, Keith Hood the moderator enters the theater. His audience beholds. “And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keep ing watch over their flock by night. And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid. And the angel said unto them, ‘Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Sav iour, which is Christ the Lord. And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger.’ And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying, ‘Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, goodwill toward men.’”(Luke 2:8-14) Every member of the cast can still recall where he was as if it were only See Hood, page 6B
