The' main role was taken by Miss Roda Robertson, as Easter Joy, gowned in yellow. Easter Joy introduced each group, and by her explanations, wove a story around the acts. The first scene portrayed the 'Gar­ den, on Easter Morning. The three women, Mary of Magdalla, Salome, and the other Mary came toward the tomb of Christ. Fine solo parts were taken by Miss­ es Olive and Eunice Thornton, who played the parts of Mary of Magdalla and the other Mary. Following this scene, a group of six girls representing the Early Christians, led by Miss Alberta Shiell, entered the darkened auditorium bear­ ing lighted candles. They held a secret meeting, each telling of her escape from the persecution of Roman sol­ diers. To the soft strains of “Faith of our Fathers,” these dark robed figures filed slowly in, lending to the scene the dark and silent atmosphere of the Catacombs. . Many years clasped in the history of the church, then the period of the Crusades was presented. Three boys, dressed as Crusaders and carrying their banners came in to worship at the tomb of Christ. The Spirit of the Church, gowned in white surplice, and played by Miss Ethel Johnston, led the Crusaders an their journey. The parts of the Crusaders were taken by Spence McKinnon, Harry Wcttlaufer, and Vernon" Hamilton. The spirit'of the Church, then re­ ceived and blessed two small children, Billy Gallaher and June Shiell, who were conscrated ’to her service. Youth, played by Miss Dorothy Ait­ ken, was received by Easter Joy, and interprted her role by a solo. The Spirit of service was taken by -Mrs. James Johnston, dressed as a Red Cross Nurse. A group of fette,red Christians, cap­ tives of their own doubts and fears, were met by Joy, their fetters broken and their faith and confidence re­ stored. Congregational singing, a proces­ sional of the entire cast, and some fine group singing, made the pageant a story in melody. Much credit goes to Mrs. A. V. Robb, director of the drama, whose splendid efforts made it a success and Mrs. W. J. Johnston for her fine organ accompaniment. Sunday morning services in the United Church were conducted by the pastor, Rev. Mr. A. V. Robb, who gave a fine sermon, choosing as his Easter theme “Christ on the Road to_ Emmaus”. The Choir, under the leadership of Mrs. W .J. Johnston, gave form were Miss two messages of song in the’ of Easter anthems. Solo parts taken 'by Mrs. A. V. Robb, and Eunice Thornton. W. M. S.
