[ABRAHAM _turns to the servants who are standing near._] _Abraham:_ Haste ye, bring water; fetch a calf, tender and good. [_Servants hasten away._] [_To the strangers_]: Sarah, my wife, will make ready three measures of fine meal and knead it into cakes. _First Stranger:_ Our host, Abraham, is a true servant of the Lord. _Second Stranger:_ We are indeed weary; we have journeyed far across the desert. [_Servants appear with water and food._ SARAH _also brings food to them._] _Sarah:_ Drink thou this fresh milk, and refresh thyself with these dates, for ye look weary. _Third Stranger:_ This is indeed a rest. [SARAH _goes into the tent and the strangers finish eating. The strangers rise to go._] _Abraham:_ Tarry yet awhile with us. _First Stranger:_ We thank thee, good Abraham, but we must be on our way. _Second Stranger:_ We would speak with thee and thy wife, Sarah. Where is thy wife? _Abraham:_ Sarah, come hither. [SARAH _appears._] _Third Stranger:_ We bring you a message from the Lord. You shall have a son, and his name shall be Isaac. He shall be the father of many men, and thousands shall respect him. _Sarah:_ Surely, this cannot come to pass! _Abraham:_ Thanks be to God for this great gift! [SARAH _and_ ABRAHAM _fall down on their knees before the strangers. The strangers stretch out their hands to bless them._] _Three Strangers:_ The Lord will bless you, Sarah and Abraham! [_The strangers depart._ ABRAHAM _and_ SARAH _arise._] _Abraham and Sarah:_ Surely these were angels from the Lord! END As this play was very short, the suggestion was made that we might lengthen the program, as well as make it more interesting, by having some of the children tell the audience just how we worked up the dramatization. The two older girls undertook this and decided entirely by themselves just what they would say. One of them wrote with great care a description of the method of procedure. She read it to the club for approval, then she learned it by heart and gave it in an interesting manner to the audience on the day the play was given. The other girl wrote a poem about it, and recited it just before the play was given. The description and poem are as follows: THE INTRODUCTION BY MARGARET MILLER The play which the children are now going to give--_Abraham and the Three Guests_--has been worked out and practiced at the dramatic club. This club meets every Sunday afternoon from three until four o'clock, and is composed of any of the children of the Sunday school who wish to belong.
