in the primary teacher.
The pageant, "Born in a Man-
ger," was presented in music by
the Junior Choir of 33 voices, in-
terspersed by the narrator, Doug
Scrimgeour, and Scripture read-
ings by Lynn Elliott, Evelyn Hag-
gitt, Olwyn Griffiths, Donald Scrim-
geour, Grant Elliott and Terry
Madill. A film strip of the Nativ-
ity was also enlightening.
As we can only imagineTyhat
animals were in the stable the
night the Christ was born, we know
Joseph's donkey was there, and
Ron Elliott told what could have
been the donkey's impressions.
Donny Campbell told the impres-
sions of a dog, who could have
followed the Shepherds. As there
was a manger, it naturally follows
there would be cattle and horses.
The Shepherds could have carried
a lamb. The cow's story was told
by Helen McClinchey; the Iamb's
account given by Ann Howeon; the
horse's story by Ivan Blake.
As there was "no room in the
inn," it would be expected a camel
would be there, and Sandra Henry
told the camel's tale. The impres-
sions of the -ox was told by Gor-
don McClinchey; the duck, Sandra
McNichol; the dove, Nancy Stew-
art.
The Angels were Bonnie Bryant,
Mary and Margaret Howson, Ag-
nes Lawrie, Carolyn Haggitt, Pa-
tricia McClinchey, Linda Stadle-
man, Grace McClinchey and Bev-
erly Fowler. The Shepherds were
Archie Mason, Cameron Manning,
Billy Young, Kenneth Radford,
Ronald McLagan, Maxine Bowes,
Mary McClinchey, Joyce Riley,
Sandy Kechnie and Wilfred But-
ton.
At the close .of the pageant, a
manger was set up on the plat-
form before Jim Pollard, as Jos-
eph,' and Thelma Riley, who por-
trayed Mary, and all present were
given an opportunity to place cash
donations therein, which the Sun-
day School will, use for the tui-
tion of Yan Sil Ahn, a Korean min-
ister's daughter, whose father was
killed during the war. Blyth Sun-
day School have made themselves
responsible for the education of
Xan Sil Ahn, who is now around
10 years of age.
The appearance of Santa Claus
brought to a close a fine evening
of entertainment and education.
