BEAUTIFUL CHRISTMAS MUSIC PROGRAMS IN CHURCHES

Local Pastors and Choir Directors Arrange the Most Elaborate Choral Events That This City Has Ever Had for the Yuletide, Never in the history of the city for the Yuletide season have such elaborate and beautiful musical programs been arranged by pastors and choir directors. The Protestant churches have planned many special events on Christmas eve and on Christmas Sunday and the Catholic churches will celebrate mass on* Saturday evening and on SunJay.

At Christ Church on the Circle at 5 o’clock this afternoon a candlelight carol service will be given under direction of Cheston L. Heath. At St. Matthew Lutheran Church the Rev. L. C. E. Fackler has arranged a dramatized sermon, an innovation for 7 a. m. Sunday. All the churches will reflect the spirit of Christmas in the decorations. Many have Christmas trees in front of the church buildings and all Protestants will have trees inside the churches. The following programs will be given in Indianapolis churches: s s n The Christmas pageant, “These Little Ones,” which will be given at the Tabernacle Presbyterian Church, Central Ave. and Thirty-Fourth St., on Christmas night, has been written and directed by Miss Dorothy Fritz, secretary of Christian education at that church. It is the third of a series of beautiful Christmas pageants given there. Many hundreds of people were turned away from the former two, which were written and directed by Charles Norris Houghton, who is now studying at Princeton University and is carrying on his dramatic interests there. The story of the pageant is based upon the choice of God of certain “little ones” to lead His people onward and upward, the climax coming with the birth of the ChristChild. Against a background of dark hangings arranged at the altar will be enacted a series of reproductions of famous paintings of Old and New Testament scenes. A reader. Miss Margaret Barlet, will give the accompanying story. Incidental music from harp, violins and cello, choral groups, soloists and organ, will add beauty to the setting. The climax of the pageant comes with a unique processional of the 110 members of the choral groups, and the exultant, strains of “Joy to the World.” nun The Marion County W. C. T. U. will hold a Christmas service at the Marion County Infirmary, Tibbs and Twenty-First, Monday at 3 p. m. A devotional service will be conducted by Mrs. Eva Davidsoxi, county president, and music will be furnished by Roberts Park M. E. Sunday School Orchestra and the Marion County Ladies’ Chorus, under the direction of Mrs. L. E. York. All members of the W. C. T. U. and friends are invited to attend and bring a gift of fruit. The Thurman W. C. T. U. will hold a Christmas party at the home of Mrs. Ella Meriwether, 2257 N. Capitol Ave., Tuesday at 8 p. m. A special program has been planned. Each member is expected to bring a presenf and invite two guests. Mrs. Estella Ballenger, president, will preside. Mrs. Fi'ank J. Lahr, 4910 Washington Blvd., is publicity chairman. tt n a FAIKVIEW PRESBYTERIAN Sandsv —9:30 A. M.— The Bible school Christmas session: Orchestra. directed by Robert J.
