pageant "Three Score Years and Three," will be presented in the Methodist Episcopal Church next day at the evening service. Those interested in Methodist families of bygone years who were prominently identified with the history of the church will find a special appeal in this story woven out of the records of the Woman's Foreign Missionary Auxiliary, beginning with the year of its founding, 1874. There were sixty charter members. The only one still living is Mrs. William Jackson, though Mrs.

William H. Walter's membership goes back almost as far. Mrs. Jackson was for many years treasurer of the society and Mrs. Walter at one time acted as superintendent of a children's mission band, the "Busy Bees." Neva Walter Uhlitz, daughter of Mrs.

Walter, is directing the pageant. Mrs. Uhlitz received her training at the Emerson College of Oratory, ton. Prior to her sho was a teacher of expression at Northland College, Ashland, and Bishopthorpe Manor, Bethlehem, Pa. During the Missionary Centenary Exposition at Columbus, Ohio, she put on twenty-six one-act plays in the stewardship department.

More recently during her residence in the vicinity of New York, she had considerable experience in directing religious dramatizations. The main in the pageant is the Woman's Foreign Missionary Auxiliary of the Methodist Episcopal Church, West Pittston, which will be taken by Mrs. Delmar Huffsmith, and Mrs. J. Rolland Crompton will be the Scribe.

Eight countries will be represented: Africa, Mrs. Matthew Gill; China, Mrs. Jacob Barth; France, Lenelta Llewellyn: India, Mrs. James Frick; Japan, Helen Laderer; Korea, Mary Carr; Mexico, Iago Jones; Uraguay, Mrs. Ner Wilson.

Each country will wear a characteristic garb and carry a large national flag. Mrs. J. Willard Lintern will be at the organ and will accompany with national airs. Mrs.

Elloma J. Emory, daughter, daughter-in-law and sister-in-law of charter members, is preparing a picture gallery that will be on exhibition at the close of the service. The following members of the girls' missionary society will act as ushers and collectors: Minnie Beaver, Marian Bieble, Eleanor Courtright, Marian Courtright, Marian George, Nellie NoIan, Clare Stein, Louise Stein and Edith Thomas. A silver offering will be taken for the work of the Woman's Foreign Missionary Society.
