Following are the principal exhibitors: THE BOOK CONCERN On the northern side of the building, the first exhibit is that of the Methodist Book Concern, representing the Methodist Church, the Methodist Church South, and the Methodist Church, Canada. A representative line of books on all subjects relating to the Centenary Celebration, and an extensive display of supplies, charts, requisites, picture postcards, direct from foreign lands, and made especially for the Joint Centenary Committee, will be found here. All of the literature published by the Joint Centenary Committee, in¬ cluding the souvenir book of the celebration will be available. Provision has been made for recording the subscriptions to periodicals, including The Daily Christian Advocate for 1920. Three attractive features of this exhibit are replicas of the new statues of Asbury and Wesley, and transparencies showing the manufacture of books and periodicals. 4 THE TREASURY DEPARTMENT Adjoining the Book Concern exhibit is the section devoted to the Treasury Offices of the Mission Boards. This room,—the headquarters of the Treasurers of Methodist Mission Boards, contains a graphic exhibit of great interest and having vital im¬ portance for all who are interested in investing funds in Methodist Missions ^t Home and Abroad. Here are explained the Life Annuity Plan, the oppor¬ tunities for establishing Memorials and all the other financial features of the Great Enterprise. HOSPITAL EXHIBIT AND FIRST AID STATION The next space carries an exhibit of hospital work, and houses the First Aid Station for the grounds. Fully qualified physicians and nurses are in -constant attendance. CHILD WELFARE The National Child Welfare Association has been given the next section. Although this is not a denominational organization, its work is fundamental. The exhibit includes a statement of the work in Child Welfare carried out hy various Methodist institutions. MINUTE MEN The walls of this booth are decorated with a frieze of Centenary posters placed in Bulletin Boards. Photographs of Minute Men from all over the country. Area Chairmen, Group Chairmen, all National officials, and other photographs of interest adorn the three walls of the booth. A Registration book for Minute Men is kept, and accommodations pro¬ vided for letter writing, also the headquarters for Minute Men as a speaking Bureau during the Celebration. BOARD OF TEMPERANCE The final exhibit on the north side of the building has been assigned to the Board of Temperance. The victories won will be duly celebrated. It is understood that the Revenue Department at Washington will occupy part of the exhibit, showing methods of law enforcement, and the vast task of making the whole world sober will be displayed. LANTERN SLIDE AND STEREOPTICON DEPARTMENT The first space on the south side of the building is given to the Lantern Slide and Stereopticon Department. A complete display is made of all the lantern slide lectures used by the Board of Foreign Missions, the Board of Home Missions and Church Extension and the Joint Centenary Commission. These slides in complete lectures are set up in special display cases, so that visitors may examine each lecture complete. There is also on display the various standard machines that this department sells to churches. At¬ tendants will be glad to demonstrate these machines at any time to any visitor. This department is also arranging to give the various other exhibits automatic projections for the display of slides illustrating their work, and is furnishing the necessary machines for such special projection work. “WORLD OUTLOOK” Adjoining the Lantern Slide Department’s section is the exhibit of ■^‘World Outlook.” Original art sketches of some of the most striking World Outlook covers, in full color, decorate the booth. Bound volumes of all issues from the beginning reveal the wealth of pictorial beauty and human interest in the magazine. Continuous projector-scope colored lantern slides of pictures which have appeared in World Outlook indicates the wide range of subjects treated. THE AMERICAN BIBLE SOCIETY The American Bible Society occupies the next section. The Bible Light House shows specimen copies of Holy Scripture printed in nearly 200 different languages and dialects. The fascinating story of translating, printing and scattering the Word, is graphically told by enlarged photographs and illustrated charts. 5 COMMISSIONS ON FINANCE The exhibit of the Commission on Finance is found in the adjoining space. Here is displayed certain aspects of financial fact and method that are vital to the whole program of the church. Pastors and District Superin¬ tendents will find this booth a mine of information. EPWORTH LEAGUE Great values for the Kingdom lie dormant in the youth of the church. In Methodism it is the task of the Epworth League to cultivate these values and bring them to fruitage. The next exhibit is that of the Leagues. Methods and standards for each of the constituent departments are featured. The display of the Institutes are especially attractive. No Leaguer can afford to miss a visit to this exhibit. RECORDS OF METHODISM Among a host of fascinating and informing exhibits to be displayed in the section given to the Centenary Department of Statistics, the following may be read: How the fatal mistake of the first Methodist Centenary cele¬ brated in 1866, can be avoided. Methodism one hundred years ago- and its development by quarter centuries. Line charts showing amounts contributed and per capita offerings. Records of each pastoral charge in the connection. Charts showing what we have done and what we have promised to do. Helps in working a district, with charts and suggestions for district superintendents’ use. Mobilizing charts showing how to enlist the entire membership. Tithing, wage and coin wheels used to interpret records. What the tithe of seventy cents per day would do. The present danger of ministerial non-support as related to the Centenary. BOARD OF EDUCATION Few agencies of the church perform a more direct service to the youth of our denomination than does the Board of Education. Its program is tastefully displayed in the section following Records of Methodism. THE UNIT SYSTEM Many have deprecated the passing of the old-time “Class meeting.” Its spiritual values were beyond calculation. The Centenary has witnessed a quickening of spiritual life, and the re-emergence of unit organization within the church. The concluding exhibit on the south side of the building demon¬ strates a system of organization within the local church that conserves the spiritual values, and that can be extended for the efficient development of all angles of church life and activity. PICTURES AT COLUMBUS Supplementing the lecture halls in the various exhibit buildings a special lecture hall has been provided at the west end of the Asbury Building, where the finest moving pictures and slides will be shown. There will be a daily program from ten to twelve and two to six, and eight to ten every week day. The morning program will consist of a first class moving picture program, such as can be seen in only the finest city moving picture theatres. The National Association of Motion Picture Producers is co-operating heartily in furnishing the finest feature films in existence today. These morning pro¬ grams should be a demonstration to pastors of the possibilities in motion pictures in making their churches social and recreation centers in their communities. The afternoon program will consist of both slides and motion pictures, fully described in a series of lectures. As far as possible these lectures will cover the entire range of Methodist missions, both home and foreign. The lectures will be given by men who are masters of their subjects and who can bring an authoritative message regarding their subjects. SOCIAL REST ROOM The east front of the Asbury Building is equipped as a social rest and tea room. Every provision for the comfort of our visitors is provided. The ladies in charge will be pleased to assure your comfort in every way within their power. 6 BIG DAYS AT THE CELEBRATION Never has a church prepared such a series of Special Events and Special Days as greets the visitors to the Methodist Centenary Exposition. During the twenty-four days that the Exposition grounds are open, more than seventy complete special programs are provided, not including special concerts by some of the greatest musical organizations in the world, night pageants of wonderful grandeur, elaborate fireworks displays, and countless attractions of varied interests that will keep the visitor moving fast to see them all.

More than one hundred dramatizations have been prepared, four of which will deal with the life of Livingston. Professor Balmer and his Kafir choir have a part in Africa Day.

Several great speakers will present the spiritual aspects of the Centenary Program and give the inspiration needed for the immediate under¬ taking of Methodism’s part in the task of supplanting hatreds born of world war with the spirit of world brotherhood. Some of the details of this program may be changed, but announcement of such changes will be given through the press and from the platform. SPECIAL FEATURES The biggest single night event will be the spectacular pageant, “The Wayfarer,” arranged by Dr. J. E. Crowther, of Seattle, presented by three hundred and fifty actors in costume, and assisted by a chorus of one thousand voices.

The famous Lowell Thomas Travelogues, which enjoyed such phenomenal success when presented for two months in two New York theaters, have been secured as an added attraction to the great exposition. These travelogues present a pictorial record of the great war. When Mr. Thomas went to the European battlefronts he was fortified with credentials from Secretaries Daniels and Baker and the Committee on Public Information. Military com¬ manders in the field unhesitatingly put at his disposal every possible means of affording him facilities. The result of his travels with the moving picture camera will be shown on the screen in Memorial Hall throughout the exposi¬ tion at Columbus.

SHRINES OF METHODISM For the devout churchman, the Ohio and Miami valleys teem with revered associations incident to the introduction of Methodism in the great Northwest territory, and the streets of Columbus are peopled with memories, infinitely dear to Methodist hearts, of the men whose names are inseparably linked with the century of missionary progress symbolized in the Celebration. To the layman who is less familiar with church history and more in touch with politics, Ohio’s three Methodist presidents. Grant, Hayes, and McKinley, United States Senators whose constructive statesmanship met international recognition such as is accorded Sherman and Foraker, both Methodists, and the long line of Buckeye Methodist governors, headed by Tiffin, are a reminder of the Methodist church’s influence in the affairs of state. For the mere tourist, on pleasure bent, with the Centenary scheduled as an incident in his outing, Ohio holds a wealth of interest in prehistoric works, places of historical import, and scenery of unrivaled beauty and grandeur which may be enjoyed enroute to and from the Celebration and in short trips from Columbus as a center. Railroads, traction lines, and automobile thoroughfares leading to Ohio’s state capital follow routes traveled by the early Methodist missionaries who, in the role of Circuit Rider or “Itinerant” never permitted the pioneer in the Northwestern territory to forget God. The Centenary visitor can reach within a radius of fifty miles from the capital square, in Columbus, a legion of shrines which are cherished as household words in every loyal Methodist home. Standing on the West terrace of the Ohio State House, the wayfarer looks down upon the impressive statue of the martyr president, William McKinley, facing the old Neil House where he lived so long and shedding benign influence over the motley High Street throngs. 11 In the Northwest wing, just off the rotunda, he will find the suite of offices- which both McKinley and his Methodist Governor-President, Rutherford B. Hayes, occupied when in Ohio’s Executive chair. A glance across Broad Street from the north terrace will show the sightseer the old Doyle residence, now yielding to commercial uses, where President Hayes lived during a part of his official life in Columbus. From the east steps he commands a view of Wesley chapel, the second Methodist church erected in the city, transferred from its original location in High Street to Broad and Fourth Streets, and sees the tops of the white outlines of Carnegie Library, which now covers the site of President Hayes’ other Columbus home. In imagination, he may run around the corner of Third and Broad Streets, less than a square north, past the house in which T. C. O’Kane spent some of his boyhood,—O’Kane, who wrote perhaps more Methodist Sunday School music than all other composers of his day counted together. The building is altered, but the memories abide. A two minute walk south on Third and west on Town will take anyone interested to the spot where the first Methodist church in Columbus stood— a rude half-finished structure when Bishop Thomas A. Morris was its pastor, and the Rev. Joseph M. Trimble assisted him in the great revival of 1830, which secured for Methodism a firm foundation in the state’s political center. It is well worth the Methodist pilgrim’s time to take an auto spin out east Broad Street, both for its return in beauty, as the most pretentious street of Columbus residential sections, and that he may, in passing, pay tribute of a thought at the long time home of Dr. Joseph M. Trimble, opposite Memorial Hall, in Broad near Sixth Street; at the East Broad Street Methodist church, cornering on Washington Avenue, where Bishop Bashford often filled the pulpit, and Bishop Oldham conducted a memorably successful pastorate, unique in that it drew into co-operative interest and support many outside the church membership; and at the Oldham Columbus parsonage, which stands unchanged at the southwest corner of Broad Street and Gar¬ field Avenue. The pleasure-seeking tourist will drive on east, through Bexley,—even though the pilgrim turn back toward waiting shrines,—and envy the Colum¬ bus Country Club members their exclusive haven; or, he may choose the picturesque Alum Creek Road up Nelson Avenue, past St. Mary’s of the Springs, in full view of the Franklin County Childrens’ Home, and follow the trail of Johnny Appleseeds along the Sunbury Road, where that quaint prototype of Maarten’s “God’s Fool” scattered seeds of religion and of fruit together. Between the afternoon conference meeting and the evening pageant, there will be ample time to “cool off” in the motor or interurban car by running out into Worthington, where the Methodist Childrens’ Home Asso¬ ciation of Ohio has its beautiful two-hundred acre farm, reaching from the pike—High Street extension—to the Olentangy River. Scores of Centenary visitors are to enjoy more than a passing call at the Home, since the Trustees have opened the grounds to Centenary campers. A drive of six to seven miles over excellent roads, or a trolley ride with transfers will offer connection with the Fair Grounds—the Celebration site. On the Childrens’ Home property are several fine camping locations, one next to the grove of the Columbus Epworth League Fresh Air Camp, with a lovely outlook, shade and living water; another on a plateau beside the glen, and a third fronting on the Columbus, Delaware and Marion car line and the pike. This is where the Council Bluffs District has secured a reservation for the caravan which will motor under Dr. Cable’s direction from the Mississippi to the Olentangy. No longer time is needed to visit the grave of Leatherlips, Chief of the Wyandots, in Wyandot Grove. While the grounds are private Club property, the hospitality is open to those interested in the tribe of Indians which responded to the Methodists’ first home missionary efforts. At Westerville, little more than a half hour’s trip by auto—forty-five minutes by interurban—the National Anti-Saloon Headquarters, with ex¬ tensive printing plant, officered for the most part by Methodists, will lure many to inspection. And here, it must not be forgotten, in one corner of Otterbein cemetery, overlooking Alum Creek, where the singer had fished and skated when a lad in school is the resting place of Ben Hanby, whose 12 “Nellie Gray” will be sung times without number by the Centenary Negro Jubilee chorus. A retired spot, with a simple stone, marks the passing of the man whose best monument is his own melody. A half day or more should be set aside by the devotee to Methodism for Delaware,—and as long for Lancaster, if time is elastic. But to Dela¬ ware, every churchman not already familiar with the Ohio Wesleyan Uni¬ versity grounds and buildings and with the homes where the McCabes and the Thompsons and the Paynes and the Bashfords and the O’Kanes and the Williamses and the Elliotts and Merricks went in and out must go. Here it is that from the initial steps taken August 25, 1841, in Urbana,. Ohio, when Drs. Elliott, Trimble, and Strickland urged conference support of the establishment of a Methodist College at Delaware, the resourceful church fathers managed to enlist and school a great host which has helped to win for the Methodists in these latter days the proud distinction of leading all other denominations in academic and in collegiate educational privileges. Delaware may be reached from Columbus by the route which Dickens traveled in coach or by the more attractive Olentangy River Road, passing Hayden’s Falls,—or better still, stopping there for picnic luncheon,—visiting the Girls’ Reformatory maintained by the state in a charming location on the river front, and then, by slight detour, into the pretty college town, rich in Methodist associations. The trip to Upper Sandusky is not too far from the Centenary grounds when taken by automobile, and may be conveniently made by train. Dr. E. D. Whitlock said in an address at Delaware, “The history of the Wyandot Mis¬ sion and its founder is the history, in epitome, of the visible Church of God. John Stewart, an uneducated negro, the spiritual father of two hundred aborigines within six years from the time he preached his first sermon to two old Indians, is the intrepid John the Baptist of that great army of missionaries that lead forward the militant hosts of Zion.” There is no room for doubt that many Centenary visitors not only of John Stewart’s own race, but from the church at large will go to Upper Sandusky to pay tribute to the memory of the Founder of Home Missions and to draw new inspiration from the original well-spring of consecration to Life Service. The Lancaster camp grounds, within easy automobile or traction jaunt from the Celebration, for many years supplied spiritual awakening for Ohio Methodists in the Southern part of the state as has Lakeside for the middle- west churchmen who foregather each year on Lake Erie’s shore. In romantic grove capping Mt. Pleasant at Lancaster, Dr. Earl Taylor, head of the Centenary Commission, Bishops Bashford and Oldham, Revs. Sam Jones and Sam Small have been heard by thousands. Points of interest easily touched enroute, whether by railroad or auto¬ mobile, suggest that home of early Methodism—Lebanon, when genial Tom Corwin,—too great to need his official titles, had his own vine and fig tree; Warrenton, in Jefferson county, where Methodism was first preached in Ohio; Marietta, where Rev. Robert Manly, of the Baltimore conference, and Bishops Asbury and McKendree established church centers; Cincinnati, made kin to every Methodist family through the Advocate, and linked with the Columbus Centenary traditions through the fact that Miss Carter, one of the first Methodist “Society” or church members in Cincinnati—eight persons in all, organized in 1798, became later the wife of Ohio’s war-governor, Dennison. While the pilgrim tourist is visiting the haunts of the Mound Builders, he may retrace trails where Tiffin and Harr preached Methodism before the first steam boat made its initial trip up the Ohio River in 1811,—seven years before steam was used on Lake Erie, more than three-score years before the first railroad train was running through Ohio. He may travel where Bishop Asbury preached when his salary was $64.00 for an entire year, where Henry B. Bascom, afterward Bishop, “for the love of working” covered in his first year 5,000 miles, preached 400 sermons and received $12.00; where the average salary of the Methodist minister was $27.50 in the great Northwest territory, and many said then as now that “all preachers were in it for the money!” Shrines of sacrifice and of personal consecration,—spiritual shrines not made with hands, set up at first in cabin and in grove, in school house, in humble church, and in¬ spiring much of the strength and the character of the nation of today. 13 EXHIBIT BUILDINGS AMERICA No. 1 The American Buildings, standing in the center of the exposition grounds, typify the place which America holds in any world-wide enterprise. Today especially the eyes of the world are upon America. Here we have the purest form of democracy known to the world, contrasted with the other nations of the earth. Here the open Bible, the free school and the Christian home have builded a civilization which now must steady the world in the upheavals of many races and nations of men. This central place which America holds in the world’s thought means that her imperfections must be removed, her life pi r lied, her many divergent groups unified, and the processes of education, Americanization and Christianization must penetrate every nook and corner of our great land. The American buildings show America’s varied life, as colorful, romantic and attractive as can be found any place in the world. How the Christian Church, through its educational, evangelistic and community service agencies, is helping to “crown America’s good with brotherhood” is revealed in the American buildings. Numbers 1 and 2. From the central plaza, the entrance to American Building Number 1 is the way into a broad, crowded, jostling city street. Down past the crowded ways of life where the big policeman stands with his semaphore, giving in¬ formation and directing the crowds, there is the City Green where the chil¬ dren frolic and play out to the water’s edge. Beyond stretches the great ocean and the Statute of Liberty welcomes the nations of the earth to our friendly shores. To the right the ferry house, a typical scene from old New York, is the gateway through which the immigrants come from Ellis Island. Classi¬ fied and tagged, with their quaint costumes of the old world, their bags and bundles, they pour in at this gate and are swallowed up in the great life of the city, farm and town. On one side of our city street is a substitute for the passing saloon, a club for men seeking wholesome recreation and the fellowship which the men of the street demand. The bar with its mugs and bottles has disappeared and in its place there is a modern soda fountain. Next to the converted saloon, are the Good Will Industries made neces¬ sary in our great cities by the ravages of poverty and always in the neigh¬ borhood of the old saloon. Here the waste material from the homes of the city is brought in great bags on motor trucks. Here men and women are being given a chance to live an honest and decent life. They sort the waste material, fumigate it, clean and repair it, and offer it for sale in the Good Will Stores. Nothing is thrown away in this establishment. Everything from old shoes to chairs and pianos are renovated and sold. It is no money-making institution either, the income being devoted entirely to good wages and the starting of men and women on the road to normal and prosperous living. In this part of the city also there is liable to be “labor disturbances” in the crowded and stifling shop—the men and women growing weary of being exploited in a cruel system of work for profits and rebelling against every¬ thing that keeps them, from their God-given chance for a full and abundant life. On the other side of the street there is the moving picture house, with its programs of pictures and illustrated lectures to attract the multitudes. Nearby stands the church where everything that a city church ought to be is typified. It is well advertised. Its bulletin board is a model. Its services are stimulating and attractive. Next to the entrance to the place of public worship is the door to the church parish house, a great social center welcoming all classes and all ages from the city streets. Just at the entrance to the building is a modern church office in which are displayed the latest and best methods of work in city churches. The importance of various kinds of pastoral and personal evangelism, es¬ pecially as a factor in home missions will be set forth in a remarkable series of demonstrations dealing with industrial, social and moral conditions in our great cities among all classes of people. Meetings for different groups in the church, onen air preaching and the guiding hand of the church in industrial dis¬ putes will be essential parts of this section. Here in the crowded street the great dramas of city life are enacted, the (Continued on Page 18) 14 SECTION OF COLUMBUS 15 coming of the immigrants and their devious and sometimes doubtful contacts with the new world; the forces that are dark in the city’s life yielding at last to the influence of the light of Christ, creating the city beautiful. All this and much more the visitor will And in that part of the exposition which shows America’s city life. No greater contrast could be found than that which lies beyond the city’s streets,—the Frontier, the Indians and the Alaskans showing the primitive, romantic and challenging phases of American life. The Eskimo in his iglo and the ice blocks portray the cold cheerless Northland. There are also the Alaskan Indians and their native houses and the totem pole which stands for their primitive religion. The scenes about portraying the whaling, mining and agricultural industries show the varied economic aspects of America’s “last frontier,” The first group of American Indians to attract our attention are the Pueb¬ los. Their adobe hut speaks of the unknown Southwest and the deft and pa¬ tient pottery maker reveals the charm of these ancient people. Nearby the Navajos are weaving their rugs. The primitive wickup is their simple home. Beyond, in their picturesque teepees, the plains Indians present not merely a picture of the past, but show their faces turned toward the future and that they will take their places in American citizenship and ren¬ der their contribution to American life. Other features in the frontier are those that are making the great states from the mountains to the sea so attractive to hundreds of settlers, prospec¬ tors, fruit-growers and rangers. The economic life of the frontier is revealed in the irrigation, mining and oil field scenes. The cow boys, real fellows from the “Wild West,” furnish entertainment in exhibitions of skill of their life in the romantic frontier. AMERICA No. 2. The entrance into American Building Number 2, leads at once to the dis¬ play of photographic enlargements showing the art and practical usefulness oi this department of education in home missions. This exhibit shows what is involved in photographing America, the wide travel necessary, the selection and composition of subjects, care in manufacturing and the uses to which the pictures may be put in making Americans acquainted with their own country. In one corner of this building is the negro exhibit. The rural life negro of the Southland, the men and women of the cotton patch showing the raw material with which the processes of education and religion must begin. Around the simple cabin home is shown the fundamental place of religion, music and good fellowship in the life of the rural negro. What the Church, with its schools and churches, has done and is doing among the negroes is the theme of the second part of the negro exhibit. What the negro has actually accomplished in agriculture, the trades, the professions, government service, art, music, literature, etc., is told by living exponents of the best in the race. A complete story of the work of the churches and schools founded and main¬ tained by the Churches south and north are graphically set forth by pictures and diagrams. The Hindus, Japanese, Chinese and Koreans—the Orientals in America— have their story told in maps, charts and pictures. These people, though not numerous, constitute one of the most challenging Americanization and Christianization problems facing the American people. If the desire of these people to be Americans and to participate normally in our American life, could be matched by the eagerness of our own people to receive them and associate with them in the normal experiences of life, the whole process of their Amer¬ icanization would be much easier. “Mexamericans,” a new name recently coined for the immigrant from our sister Republic across the Rio Grande, are given a place in the exhibit propor¬ tionate to their numbers and importance as a problem in our national life. Here the Mexican border is shown. Almost everything except Villa himself and his band of outlaws. There is the International Bridge with the Mexicans coming by the thou¬ sands, with no restrictions, without education, with only a blind loyalty to an ancient church, superstitious, but with a responsiveness to fellowship and kindliness so characteristic to Latin peoples. The plaza is the center of their interest in American cities. It is in the midst of their own section, where the 18 plastered adobe houses imported from over the border, make “the Mexican quarter” seem like bits of a foreign world set up in our free states. The specific problems of Americanizing the newer immigrants are shown in charts and pictures. A wonderful electric sign shows the interplay of the forces between Europe and America, an exhibit that needs long and careful study by every true American. The spirit of community organization, work and neighborliness is depicted by charts on rural organization, and by a short morality play on country life wherein the church helps the countryman to remain true to his ideals in com¬ pany with the symbolic figures representing tne woods, the waters and the fields. The spirit of neighborliness is depicted in another play entitled “Neigh¬ bors.” The problems of the farm woman are shown through a life demon¬ stration called “The Parson’s Triumph.” The wholesome leadership of the minister and his understanding of rural economic and social problems affects the happiness and spiritual life of this entire family. The co-operative agencies which make for a better developed and more wholesome rural life and the way in which the rural minister may make use of these opportunities is indicated by a baby health conference which is conducted as it might be in a rural community with the co-operation of the state and the United States Department of Health, the Children’s Bureau in Washing¬ ton and the rural health nurse, and local physicians. Then, the boys and girls club work, types of educational and recreational activities for which the church may furnish adequate leadership, is shown in another section, with in¬ formation regarding methods of co-operation with the state departments of agriculture. A county library is next seen. Here, books which may be secured as a nucleus of a library for churches, organizations and homes may be seen and it is hoped that church people may give their support to furthering this type of state activity. A rural community building illustrates recreational life. Charts and maps depict the activities of leading pastors in rural communities and illustrate the relationship of the church to community life. Rural indus¬ trial problems are shown by a mining scene in which life demonstrations of the home and labor unrest are portrayed. The central court of American Building Number 2 is devoted to a part of the Mexamerican exhibit and the Porto Rico, the Highland people and the Hawaiian exhibits. In the Porto Rican exhibit the future possibilities of this territory are fully realized, and the rapid advances already made by Uncle Sam and the Protestant Churches are clearly shown. How illiteracy, supersti¬ tion, disease, immorality are giving away before the forces of the school and the church make Porto Rico one of the most interesting studies in the Amer¬ ican Buildings. The Highland people of the Southern mountains have always appealed to loyal Americans. Their isolation, illiteracy and simple though fundamental virtues have aroused the interest of thousands in these descendants of old American stock. It will surprise many, therefore, to know how the moun¬ tains have changed. Our traditional thinking about unkempt, illiterate, primi¬ tive, superstitious, moon-shining life must go. It is the best in the mountains that now attracts and holds and the contribution which these sturdy people are to make to American life is becoming more and more apparent. The Hawaiian Islands in the mid-Pacific astonish us at once with their varieties of peoples. There are Chinese, Japanese, Koreans, Filipinos and native Hawaiians. Look for them all at the exhibit. Here is a complicated racial, religious and social problem, the solution of which is significant to the whole Orient. Out in the open veranda beyond American Building Number 2 is an ex¬ hibit that tells a mighty story of the great new industrial problem of the Southeast Atlantic sea-board. The textile industry, the center of w^hich was once in New England, has produced the social and moral problems of the mill villages. Here have been the outstanding problems of child labor and the ex¬ ploitation of family life before the exacting demands of the great factory. How children can get an education in the midst of the drive of the busy looms, is shown in w'hat the textile industry institute of the Methodist Episcopal Church South is doing and plans to do on a great fund in Spartanburg, South Carolina. In this building the lecture room will provide an opportunity to see pictures and hear lectures on these varied and interesting types of American life. 20 AMERICAN BUILDING N? 2 COLUMBUS EXHIBITION AFRICA Africa is our great continent, and in order to give the feeling of atmos¬ phere and wide expanse of country, the exhibit has been planned in a very open way. A great African Krall occupies the center of the building and in this Krall, which is a great stockade, there is another Krall for animals of the tribe. There are also the homes of the chief and his five wives. Mud houses with straw thatched roofs. All the implements for cooking and preparation ^of food will be in use there, and the constant demonstration of African life will be presented. Around the walls of the buildings are painted vast pan- '•oramas of country scenes. Palm trees in the warm portions and growth from ^the cooler regions give variety to the scenery. At the far corner of the building one enters North Africa; a Moham¬ medan country which varies considerably from the rest of Africa. Plere is shown the tent life of the Arab, who, with his family, roams about the country, staying for short periods and living in a tent made from the dark wool of native sheep. The necessities of life are few and of the simplest forms. All of these, however, are the genuine articles. Farther down, one comes to the land of the Berbers, who live on the mountain tops of North Africa not far from the coast cities of Algeria, Tunis and Tripoli. These people are all nearly white blood and are light skin with dark hair. It was in this country that Christianity started in the very early centuries. Afterwards it was almost entirely stamped out by the greatest of persecution. Ruins of all Carthage will be seen in one of the panoramas, and as one looks at these evidences of early Christianity one feels that we should make the greatest efforts to bring back to this country a religion of what it once had and lost. The Berber home with its equipment and the village court a mosque, where the religion of Mohammedan prevails, is made prominent. A great chart and exhibit of things from all parts of Africa will be found in the far corner of the building. Shields and spears, beautifully wrought by tribes who have little culture, and grains, food products and readily made cloth with bark blankets demonstrate the versality and good craftsmanship which are almost inated in every community, be it civilized or uncivilized, according to our American standards. CHINA Upon entering the China Building there arises before the observer the grey walls of a Chinese city, its gates flanked by beggars and small mer¬ chants selling their wares. To the left, one’s eye glances backward to a farm-house with its pleasant garden and growing vegetables, with the hills and beautiful valleys stretching out beyond. A gate-way admits one to the city. A tall pagoda with its idol is near the immediate entrance. On either side of the street are shops and homes. At the distant end of the street,, which according to Chinese custom is closed off in order to keep the spirits from entering, one sees the fascinating lines, form and colors of a street theatre with elaborate tiled roof and red lacquered screen, where from time to time the native Chinese plays are given, and where also Centenary speak¬ ers may tell the story of Chinese life and needs. The home life which goes on in the China home will be found most inter¬ esting. The furniture and furnishings in this house are of the choicest char¬ acter and genuine in every detail. The reception room has its conventional arrangement of table with a chair on either side, balanced by another table with two other chairs, and its doorway arranged symmetrically; its vases in pairs and cushions, hangings and other equipment complete. The dining-room and the sleeping-room and kitchen will be found of equal interest. Farther down the street beautiful embroideries may be purchased, as well as silks in plain colors of damask weave, brocades in gold and red, as well a:> blues and neutral purple. Printed fabrics of cotton, and small wares of brass and pottery can be had. Two great memorial gateways are at the center of the street. Their tiled roofs and decorated posts lend soft glowing color. Just beyond, a restaurant with its Chinese tables and chairs, which have no backs, will furnish refreshment for the hungry, supplying only Chinese food; tea, cakes and a full course dinner cooked and served by Chinese. 22 E MTB.ANC6 23 AFRICA BUILDING COLUMBUS EXHIBITION The Daoist Temple at the end of the street has its entrance well guarded by two great wooden figures or guardian gods of heroic size. Farther in are idols, and one can from time to time see a demonstration of the Daoist re¬ ligion, which deals largely with spirit forms attributed to all phases of nature and animal life. These spirit forms are uncouth and lear at one from every corner of the little temple. On the other side of the street is a monastery with its cloister and cells for meditation. A China fountain and garden and the simplicity of monastic life, and at last the glories of China are presented in an art exhibit, which is designed to show the wonders of painting, carved, lacquer, jade and bronze work, for which China has been noted for the last twenty centuries. In this exhibit will be some of China’s choicest treasures. : INDIA At the entrance to the building one has a scene spreading out before the eye, the elaborate temples and homes of India, the River Ganges where thousands of the populace and pilgrims from all parts of India are bathing in its unclean waters. Funeral pyres are burning at the water’s edge, and every Brahman hopes to have his ashes cast into those waters. Mohammedism is expressed in a splendid mosque and Hinduism by a temple. The two buildings confront one at the entrance, and are as different in architectural type as if from different countries. Home life is represented in the Zenanna of the high caste Braham, and in another part of the building, homes of a more humble type will show the average life of the man of India. A bazaar scene with its cloth shops, beautiful silks delicately woven, dacca muslins, gold embroidered costumes and stuffs, also the shops of the brass merchant, the money changers, the flower girls at their stalls, the ancient potter making his water pots in the same way that the family of Abraham worked thousands of years ago. Sweet meats can be purchased from the candy makers of India. A magician does tricks, and the public letter writer will be there to act as a scribe to both the illiterate and the literate. Holy men are in the market place torturing their bodies that their souls may be purified, and occasionally one can hear the muezzin prayer call from the minaret of the mosque. The daily life of India, with its joys and sadness, is represented. Pro¬ fessional mourners follow the bereaved ones in conventional procession. A wedding scene with all its pomp passes through the street and the child- wife is brought into momentary prominence. The educational system of Indian, from its primary schools through the high school, college and theological school, is fully shown and demonstrated. India’s political and commercial activities are made real through the agency of the missionary, who will explain verbally and by charts. The missionaries’ camp and village service with the evangelist and the medical missionary, who administers to the sick, will be there to set forth the life of ninety per cent, of the people of India who live in villages. A lecture hall, which will be darkened and cool, will give a place for tired visitors to rest, while they watch pictures and pageants which tell life stories of India. A moving picture will be given daily which represents the con¬ version of Magan Lai, one of our India preachers, from the worship of Kris- han and the idols of Hinduism to Christianity. The film is of thrilling interest and tells the pathetic story of a youn^ man wandering from temple to temple until at last he met with the Christians. No such story as this has ever been presented in the history of the movie. KOREA, JAPAN, PHILIPPINES, MALAYSIA The semi-circular Kameido (tortoise well) bridge over the minature Shinji no Ike or “Pond of the Word Heart” holds the gaze by its very unique¬ ness, while garden, trees and purple wisteria call to mind the appellation “The Flowery Kingdom.” “Let us not forget,” writes one, “that everything about a Japanese Home from the linen binding of the parlor mats to the shape of the kitchen tongs, has a physical significance in addition to its use.” Here the Japnaese husband, the house-wife and the children in native costume show the daily home life. 24 ll 25 KW^NG CITY. CHINA BUILDING COLUMBUS EXHIBITION The Educational, Social and Industrial exhibits are to be seen showing great progress, especially rapid since our own Perry in ‘53 awoke Japan from her long nap. The Kindergarten of Hiroshima where wee tots from far off Japan thrill you with the possibilities of this type of Christian work. The Evangelistic Hall contains curiso of intense interest and here by means of charts, etc., one sees the religious condition of Japan, the present force of workers, and what the Centenary will enable Methodists to carry out. After mingling with the shopkeepers in the streets, one sips a cup of re¬ freshing beverage at the tea house. The graceful arch (torii) is the entrance to grounds where priests (kan- nushi) present offerings reciting certain formal addresses partly lauditory and partly in the nature of petitions. Shinto, which is the Chinese word mean¬ ing “the way of the gods,” is a compound of nature and ancestor-worship. Here these people of the gods wash their hands, worship, and “make simple attempts to divine the will of their gods.” The Christian preacher and the Buddhist priest show in their services the conflicting forces at work in the Mikado’s land. The native Japanese explain their customs, superstition and religion; the missionaries tell their experiences ranging from long rides in jinrikishas (one invention at least to be credited to their class) to influencing statesmen to acknowledging Him as “The Lily of the Valley.” To put the Philippines on the Mission Map, to give a more correct idea of the Filipino, to show something of the moral background upon which we must build, and to enlighten as to “What kind of Christians are they?” these are the reasons for Filipino exhibit. The people you see are a fair representation of the inhabitants of the Islands. Eager, intelligent young men and women who are the products of the schools established by kind hearted Uncle Samuel, and who are the fruits of the Evalgelical Church. The curios are not to give the idea that most Filipinos carry spears and head axes, but to show that many of them can do fine hand work, needle work and lace work, and make fine hats and baskets. The village helps to show that in customs and manner of work we are the sam_e, and yet different. But without admitting that your way is always right and ours always wrong. We are slower than you, but we are more patient. The Malaysia Exhibit seeks to tell the story of that group of tronical is¬ lands lying southeast of Asia, their great size, their vast natural wealth, their fifty millions of people, and their religious, social and political future. The crude Dyak hut, the grusome skulls, the knives, spears, shields and basketware, and native clothes tell of ten million primitive, pagan races in the jungles of Borneo, Celebes and New Guinea. These are wild peoples, not be¬ cause of mental deficiency, but because no one has led them into the larger life. They cannot stand before even their semi-civilized neighbors. Unless they are won for the gospel and taught to care for themselves they must shortly disappear. The Japanese house, the market place and medical exhibit typify the so¬ cial development of the forty millions semi-civilized folks of the Malay stock. Thirty-six million of them are crowded into the little island of Java. Hardy and intelligent they have yielded to the faith of Islam, which puts its dead hand upon progress. They are, however, feeling the stirrings of new life, and thirty thousand already can testify to the saving power of Christ. The Korean house will present the family life of the Koreans. In the pavilion, many thousands of which are in the beautiful scenic spots of Korea, there will be exhibitions of native music and writing, both of which are per¬ formed by Korean gentlemen in moments of leisure. On the platform adjacent to the church will be shown the old school life of Unchristian Korea, with its apothesis the Christian Mission school. Here will also be shown the old-time Korean doctor, who later became Christianized and a graduate of our medical schools. A sorceress will appear in her incantations and weird gibberish. She later becomes a Christian, abandons her heathenish practices and preaches to the women of the adjacent villages. 26 INDIA BUILDING - COLUMBU5 EXHIBITION. A Korean wedding and a Korean funeral will be staged with all the bi¬ zarre medley of colors and sounds. The drama which will be held in another building will further continue the religious note, for it will show the reformation of a heathen home. Korean Christianity at its best will be further portrayed by a daily cru¬ sade of Koreans out on the ground. With tract and Testament in hand they preach to the people individually even as they have done thousands of times to their own people in their native land. LATIN AMERICA AND EUROPE The European section shows a series of small buildings, homes, eating places and other typical things from Russia with its mosque and home life scenes and demonstrate with its historic associations for the fine art lover; and here a scene of the ruins of the Coliseum in Rome, and there a view of the Villa d’ Este and the Rialto in Venice, so that the associations are quite familiar as one passes through the crooked way laid out between these coun¬ tries, passing at last into France and into Switzerland. The main feature of the Eureopean Exhibit is a ruined cathedral of noble architectural body. Its vaulted aisles and nave are partly in ruins, showing the devastation of war. The eye travels out beyond the piles of debris to nearby buildings whose walls are broken down; a village stretching out in the distance and beyond this the hills and snow-capped mountains of the Alps. On the other side of the church one sees a similar devastation of French country which was once smiling with well ordered gardens, and present homes now a scene of shell holes and desolation. As the weary sightseer sits in this quiet haven and hears from the plat¬ form a great program announced for the reconstructive work already in hand, there is a combined appeal to eye and ear which makes the war a great reality and also makes our part which is largely reconstruction a thing which can be accomplished and is already in operation. In Latin-America the scene centers about a bay city plaza, and the great Cathedral of Lima gives a fitting back ground for plays and demonstrations of South American life. The eye travels out from a broad bay with its ship¬ ping interests, and we picture our own country and government coming into closer relation with this newly opened market. Equipment is also given to the wonderful mountainous country of South America, and something of the condition of peonage which exists throughout all Latin America. The peon home with its out-of-door bake oven and squalid furnishings is placed along¬ side the hacienda, the home of the well-to-do farmer. The unity of origin of Latin-American modes of life, and the similarity of climatic conditions throughout most of those countries, have led to a rather striking sameness of material settings. Houses, utensils, domestic animals, modes of building, ranching, farming, etc prevail in each of these countries that are much the same as in the other. Instead, therefore, of trying to separate the exhibits rigidly on national lines, a number of ensemble effects have been attempetd. There is a typical Spanish-American house, with its two open courts, its fixed disposition of rooms, etc. There is a typical poor man’s house •—mud v.'alls (or watered, as the case may be) and thatched roof. It might belong on the mesa of Mexico or Peru, in the hot jungles of the Amazon or the pampas of Argentina. These houses are placed in typical settings, common alike to all countries, and both surroundings and houses have about them an indefinable suggestion of Bible lands and times. The Moors got their civil¬ ization from the East, by way of North Africa; Spain and Portugal, in their formative days learned much from the Moors; South America was colonized vyhile these influences were still potent. Other similarities have derived from like climatic conditions, products, building materials, etc. General Information Regarding^ the Centen¬ ary Celebration May Be Obtained at Head¬ quarters Building at the Exposition Grounds. 28 Tn 03 s I1H30S 11331$ k • 1 1 H>103i.>n4 z d .1 i o z > 3 o m m 5 X Z ' 1 2 29 KOREA .
