The Spirit bids her accept God's will, as announced by Sariel, God's Angel of Death QLloyd Meyerj, whether that decrees return to Earth or not. As the girl Waits in doubt, others appear: the frightened Suicide CBeulah Readj, the Old Old Woman QColleen Tveitj - who longs for Sarie1's sum- mons, the Young Mother CKaren Willy - Worried about her chil- dren, and the Blind Child QDixie Tissj, led by its Guardian Angel QRoselee Grayj. To each of these Sariel appears with a message, either to return to Earth or to enter the shining gates. Inspired by what she sees, The Graduate finds faith and courage to obey the bidding of Sariel.

First the choruses tell the story of creation - the birth of light, firmament, earth and seas, birds, trees and man. There is the life in the garden of Adam fpantomimed by Victor Lothej and Eve Ueannette Thompsonj, then the tempta- tion. After the Fall there is life outside the garden - the birth of pain, death, and children, Cain CDoug Nieburj and Abel fGary Obrechtj. There is the moving first offering to God and the jealousy of Cain, who then turns on his brother. With Abel dead, Eve finds courage to go on, and also she finds compassion. The story flows between the principals and the choral groups, the latter being the voices of good and evil. The dramatic essence of many stories is caught here and presented with a poetic simplicity which is noteworthy in its phrasing and impact.
