Sunday, March 5, 1922

Very wet, nasty, slushy day. Arose 9 A.M. Breakfast. Cleaned Walk. To Church & S.S. Taught class in intermediate department. Mr. & Mrs. McCausland here to dinner. Pleasant fellowship. Ruth & I did dishes. To E.L. and Church. Very wonderful pageant on Bible. Home. Talked. To bed 10:30 P.M.

**********
The pageant Stanford refers to was noted in the March 4, 1922 Schenectady Gazette in a section titled "Local Parishes":
At the First Methodist church, tomorrow will be observed as Bible Sunday. Rev. Philip L. Frick will preach upon “God and the Bible” at the morning service. At night a Bible pageant, entitled “The Task of the Century,” will be presented by a group of 40 persons. This pageant is based upon truths of the Old and New Testaments and illustrated by familiar characters.
Once again we get an opinion expressed by Stanford. This could be a trend!

I was able to find a Mr. & Mrs. McCausland in Albany who may be the pair visiting the Clossons. They were both in their 50s at the time. Without first names I can't tell for sure, however.
