Methodist Centenary
Celebration.

CILUMBUS o., May 12-Creator of
Written language for 100000 nativ-
= % South Africa who never had had
any other Communication than by
word Of mouth, DR.. 3. H. Richards Of
obeain Ohio, who arrived In Column
bus 70 direct the African building ex-
hibits ct the Methodist Centenary Cele-
bration beginning June 20, told today
how he carried writing and printing to
the rongns.
AS late at 1886 none Of the native
languages of Portuguese East Africa
had been reduced to writing" he said.
More than three millions Of natives
had never seen an ink bottle. They did
not know that an idea could be con-
yeyed from one village to another in
any other way except by word of
mouth. =,
with jaclnife l made printing
press with twenty three letters OF type.
whtttled the press and letters out Of
casing Of Rockefellers kerosene cans.
We were economical. No two letters
had the same sound. Yet with these
twenty three sounds we could convey
any idea we chose. We could say
anything the lady on the avenue says,
although our language contained less
than half as many sounds and only
twenty three letters.
son this printing press / turned out
charts and school books and printed
q transiation Of the entire Bible in one
Language and the New Testament in
anot her, many hymns in both and
some In four.
The Bantu language has genuine
Yankee grip and pep. Friends on
meeting do not say how are you; but,
Shaking hands vigorously say 'Zzi do
|bu Kill which translated means I ann
split tolsee you. When native wish
es to cypress gratitude he does not
say Thank you He goes one better
declaring You have filled me- When
q young swain would fain leave his
lafiy love he does not say, Please ex-
ctise me- He conveys to her that the
lqaye taking is no easy task, Mi kla
III SCI he pleads meaning. Please I'M
lock me The language is very digni-
fed, very simple and contains no Dip
thongs. II Is Us perfectly adequate for
conveying every idea IN the English"
Dr.. Richards says the African exhib-
It at the Centenary Celebration will be
one Of the most comprehensive of its
kind ever attem2ted in this country.
He Will have many natives from the
dark continent, reproductions of tribal
Villages q Zulu band, a Moorish setting
from North Africa and hundreds of ex-
hibtts which win make it easy for the
visitor to visualize life and customs
iil AZ sections of Africa.
