Christmas Pageant For Sunday
The First Christian Church here
in Athens has been remarkably
transformed during the past few
weeks. Due to the combined ef
forts of several of the men of the
church the Sunday School audi
torium has been utilized to repre
sent scenes from old Bethlehem
for the presentation of “Fullfill
ment of Prophesy,” traditional
Christmas pageant to be presented
at' 3:30 and 8:00 on Sunday, Dec.
.
The pulpit of the church will
represent an oriental place of wor
ship for” the prophesy scene. This
scene features Lloyd Hitchcock,
jr. as Isaiah who receives a vision
from God foretelling the birth of
the Messiah. Also in that scene
‘will be Lindsey Durham as Mel
chizadee and Johnny Biggs as Je
rash, a small servant boy. The
voice of God will be heard at the
climax of the scene. Delivering
the prophesy from the Bible will
be Rev. Paul C. Howie, pastor of
the church.
The story of the birth of Christ,
taking place many years after
Isaih’s = prophesy, “is centered
around the lives of the simple
shepherds and townspeople of
Bethlehem.

were books, games, bar. bells,
punching bag, football, basket
balls, trunks for the basektball
team, softballs, etc.
The garty got off to a good start
when rtboys were presented with
flying s\icer balloons, which were
immediately inflated and allowed
to buzz around the recreation
room. After this demonstration,
accompanied by some loud bangs
as balloons burst, the presents
were distributed. A movie con
