WILLIAM G. McADOO, Ex-Sec-
retary of the Treasury - a very
level headed business man, who
Is not given to saying things he
does not mean, told me that this
CENTENARY
CELEBRATION
COLUMBUS
is the most unique, the most re-
markable, The most constructive,
the most far-reaching exposition
he had ever seen.
He was tremendously pleased al
so with the wonderful attention
he received from over $4,000
people who heard him deliver
his great League Of Nations
speech, from the grandstand In
the oval, on July Fourth-one
of the hottest days either he or
his hearers ever experienced.
BUT HEAT DOES NOT AT.
Feet THE ARDOR OF THE
PEOPLE WHO ATTEND THIS
CENTENARY CELEBRATION.
NOTHING AFFECTS 1T.
There is a great wave Of approv-
al and deep appreciation shown
by the hundreds of thousands OF
people that have seen 1t.
Everywhere went among the
crowds during the 72 hours !
visited this GREAT ExPOsI-
TiON--6 days. heard most en-
thuslastic comments.
Furthermore, a great many men
and women to whom spoke
without the formaIity CT intro
duction (this illustrates the DEM
ooracy of this wonderful Exposi-
tion) said to me:
This Centenary Celebration
should repeat itself In all sec
tions of the United States, for II
is marvellous example Of what
can be accomplished In rebuild
ing the world when the work
done by SO many thousands Of
earnest men and women, who
give up everything for the bene-
fit Of others-is SO lligent, SO
humane, go sincere, so helpful"
believe myself that the Centen-
ary Celebration, which has prov
ed 90 be far more impressive
and effective than even the COM
mittee In charge and the thous-
ands Of volunteer workers, who
helped so wonderfully to make
II auccess--dreamcd IL would
be--that there will be a great
cry 90 up in all parts Of Ameri-
ca
bring IT TO US! BRING 1T
TO USl WE WANT TO SEE
WHAT Is BEING DONE TO
PUT ALL PEOPLES OF ALL
COUNTRIES ON THE SAME
FOOTING AS WE ARE HERE
IN AMERICA"
JOSEPHUS DANiELS,secretary
Of the NaSy--fine Christian gen.
tleman that he Is, visited the
Exposition on July 5th.
He talked to representative of
the great body Of Methodist
Minute Men now representing
an enrolment OF over $1,000
and, accustomed as he ,s 10
wonder work" on the part Of
the great bodies Of earnest and
fearless fighting men, he mar
vels at the grand work accom-
pIished by these Methodist Min
ute Men--and he also marvels
at the magnificent display Of OK
hibits that illustrate the thor
oughness with which Methods st
Missionaries perform their char
tiles and humanities In fore eign
lands.

telieotual treat that II will give
