WHY COLUMBUS WAS
MADE CENTENARY CITY
Has Largest Percentage Of
MethOdiStS In the World.

What brought the Methodist Cen.
tenary Celebration to Columbus,
June 20 to July 10, is the question in
the minds of great many Methodists
and -Methodists throughout the
United States and elsewhere.
When H, B. Dickson was chosen
organizing director of the celebration
by the Joint commission of the Meth
odist Church South and the Methodist
Church North, he Immediately set
about to find the most suitable place
for the greatest event of its kind
ever held city which could take
care of the 100000 persons who would
come to this gathering and one which
was so located that it could be most
easily reached by the people most
concerned,
Mr.. Dickson made a tour of a num-
Der of the principal cities of the
United States, including Washington,
Baltimore, Cincinnati, st. Louis, Kan.
sas City and others Of that class. He
came back by way Of Detroit, where
he received instructions to go over
the same territory again, stopping at
cities that had not been visited be-
fore. On the way Mr., Dickson stop
ped at Indianapolis. indianapolis
tried TO interest him by showing him
the Indiana state fair grounds This
gave Mr.. Dickson an idea, but he was
not satisfied Previously he had not
considered the possibility OF utilizing
buildings such as constitute the equip
ment of a state fair grounds.
Next he came to Columbus, where
he found the state exposition grounds
and he was captivated at once. There
is nothing like these accommodations
anywhere in the United States" he
said But this was not enough to
persuade the combined board of digni.
taries of the two churches most in
terested. Then it was up to him to
get an argument that would convince
the bishops, district superintendent
and others in authority in the
churches.
Mr., Dickson began to draw circles
around the cities of any size in the
United States, to find out where the
Methodists were to be found In this
way he discovered that there were
more Methodist churches with 1000
members and over in the city of Co.
lumbus than in any other city in the
world. He also found that there were
100, 900 Methodists living within two
hours ride of the city of Columbus,
and more than 100000 within
three-hour ride Of the city; 100000
Methcdists within an over-pight's ride
of the city
With reference to the Methodist
Church South, it was found that there
was no city the size of Columbus,
even including Baltimore, Washing
ton and Cincinnati, within an equally
convenient railroad distance to as
large proportion of their member
ship as Columbus
These facts laid before the joint
Centenary commission settled all ar.
guments and determined definitely on
Columbus as the site for the Meth
odst Centenary Celebration in June
and July.

The one plea of H. B. Dickson. or
5anizing secretary of the Methodi It
Centenary to Methodists North
South, East and West, is that visitors
register early. The registration fee
is So for an individual, or $40 for
family, including all members under
q. Registration covers admission TO
the exposition grounds each day Of
the celebration at Columbus, June 20
to July 10, and it also secures the
services of the Methodist Celebration
housing committee.
There is no use mincing matters"
says Mr.. Dickson Those who regis
ter earliest will get the best services
and best accommodations. We are
trying to provide for an eleventh hour
rush, but it is never so satisfactory
to work under those conditions as
when people take matters in their
hands early enough to get good at.

EARLY IN THE WAR

During the British advance on Jer-
icho an enemy shell struck an an
cient tomb and revealed a skeleton.
Investigation by the official archae-
ologist connected with the British
staff pointed to the skeleton being
that of historical figure, John of
Antioch. Accordingly cable was
dispatched to the War Office in Lon
don: "Have discovered skeleton
supposed to be that of John of An
tioch."
The War Office replied; Cannot

100000 REFUGEES

Paris. March 17.--Three months
AFTER the armtstice was signed there
were in Paris approximately 100000
refugees unable to return to their
homes before spring. One Of the ain
reasons why they could not 60 back
Immediately to begin work Of re-
constructing their wrecked homes and
commence life anew was because they
lacked the proper clothing to with

corded by the government These

year the Red Cross had distributed
nearly half - r1iljion articles of cloth

An illustration of the increasing
demand for clothing among the re-
fugees of France can be seen In a re-
port on the western district of the
country. In September the number

some idea of the enormous need for
clothing among the refugees of the
devastated and liberated regions of
France and Belgium can be obtained
from Red Cross report which shows
that up to last fall 1t had distributed
l.629, 900 articles of clothing and $50
600 pairs OF shoes. III addition il gave
100000 yards of cloth.
