CHRISTMAS PAGEANT
As the glad Christmas time
draws near, we begin to wonder,
how as a community we may best
celebrate the birthday of our
Lord.
As a people we have grown
weary of the merely trivial in our
celebration of this most sacred of j
all Reasons.
From almost every American1
town reports have come from clubs
Girl and Hoy Scouts, and churches j
of efforts being made to restore to
Christmas the original sanctity of
its meaning.
The age old story always beau-!
tifal, always new, ha* long ago1
been put in music and song. May
we not combine this lovely music
with living pictures in telling the.
Story fittingly!
A Christmas Pageant is being
planned for the community !
through the churches, that means
every child, overy boy and girl
man and woman must have a part ?
in it
Conn let us make this a real1
