I have never been "up-
stairs" in a flying machine.
1t must be a wonderful
sensation to sail along
through the air between
Heaven and earth.
Bird-men fly over the State
Fair Grounds at Columbus,
where the CENTENARY
CELEBRATION is taking
place.
ITdon't know whether they
purposely plan their air
sailing routes to take in the
great panorama at the
State Fair Grounds, but I
notice when they fly over
this inspiring scene they
turn about again and again,
seemingly greatly attracted
and impressed.
What man has done in pro-
ducing the flying machine,
the submarine, wireless
telegraphy, the telephone,
the automobile, the tractor
and the many other Won
derful, useful and progress
sive things of the world
has been fairly matched by
the composite genius Of
many minds in producing
the CENTENARY CELE-
BRATION COLUMBUS.
So many unusual. instructive. ap-
pealing and delightful things
have been assembled in this CEN
TENARY CELEBRATION COL
UMBUS that you will marvel at
them just as we have all marvel
ed at the genius Of man in unit
ing Gods power with his. for the
betterment OF the world. as has
been done in hundreds OF ways.
But the greatest Of all benefits
that comes of uniting Gods
power with mans IS THAT
WHICH LIFTS MEN AND wo-
MEN TO THE PLANE OF AP-
PROBATION OF LIFE. its du-
ties and its beauties.
To SEQ former cannibals and head
hunters live like civilized beings
gives one confidence In human
ity.
Ohio people should be very proud
of their great Coliseum at the
State Fair Grounds, Columbus
a building that seats 1900 people
and has such splendid acoustic
qualities that the voice carries
perfectly to all parts OF it and
Is heard distinctly.
To divert just a moment:
Ohio people should also be very
proud Of the great Oval Amphi-
theatre at the State Fair Grounds
whore more than $4,000 people
can be seated comfortably.
don't know how many other
places there are in America where
$4,000 people can be seated to see
part of Great Exposition, but
there are not many. that's GER
tain. so the State Of Ohio may be
counted as a Great Leader in pro-
ducing At it's Capital such splen-
did facilities for the entertain.
ment OF her people
No wonder the managers Of the
SELECTED COLUMBUS as the
place to display its marvellous ex-
hibits.
Now let me return to the Pag-
cant. Directly in front Of the
stage stands one OF the greatest
pipe organs of the world, pur-
chased for this CENTENARY
CELEBRATION COLUMBUS.
YOU MUST HEAR 1T. You must
see the master organist whose
touch with hands and feet brings
to your ears wonderful sounds
harmonious and inspiring-from
all hooks and corners Of the great
Coliseum.
Surrounding the organ is the
Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra
OF 75 pieces.
Have you ever heard this won
derfu1 Orchestra?
II not. do SO by all means.
You can listen to 1t for hours
and get Joy and thrills out OF
every minute.
Topping off all this-a great
chorus Of colored folks, on one
side of the Coliseum, and great
chorus Of white folks. on ths
other side. totaling 5000. join in
wave Of song that will lift you
to your feet when you hear It,
OH, THIS PAGEANT IS REAL
LY WONDERFUL,
And this. mind you--as big and
as inspiring as 1t Isis only a
part Of this 3reat Exposition.
