NOLUMBUS, July A. The

Methodists, who disbelieve
in theatres, have staged the
biggest and most spectacu-
lar religious drama ever produced
In the New World. They did it all
themselves. They drew upon the
Bible, their hymn books and Amer
lean history for inspiration, and
upon the whole wide world for ma
terials, furnished by their mission
aries. The result at it's climax is
The Wayfarer," an overwhelming
theatrical spectacle, which D. w.
Griffith is filming for a movie SEN
sation.
The purpose was to celebrate the
Tooth year of missionary work in
America.
There Is, first, what can only be
called a Methodist Fair, filled with
strange and fascinating exhibits
nom all the corners of the earth
where Methodist missionaries are.
The Fair would be wonderful by
Itself, but it serves really as kind
Of background for the great dra-
matte pageant entitled "The Way

of contentment. 1t is sought in
spirit worship, Buddhism, Hindu
ism, Mahometanism and Confucian-
ism in turn, only to be finally found
in Christianity.
The same theme underlies ali this
demonstration Of foreign peoples
in their native surrounding
changes that have been brought to
pass by missionary activities. 1t is
emphasized in concrete fashion by
charts with imposing arrays of
facts and figures. Ministerial vis;-
tors go around assiduously taking
notes, which are presumably going
to prove useful in the preparation
of future sermons. AS soon as they
catch sight Of anything informative
they pounce eagerly upon it and
translate it into rough notebook
jottings.

be as old as the very bills them
selves, sings mountain ballads in
a cracked and dolorous voice.

Children of Many Lands

The children of different countries
are among the most popular feat
ures Of the Centenary celebration.
They are here in numbers in their
native dress - Kaffir boys from
Africa, japanese and Chinese
youngsters, Malaysian girls and
three little ones whose Eskimo
mother has brought them all the way
from an ice-covered island in the
Bering Strait. Their father is a
Norwegian and the small Eskimos
are on view in an ice hut in the
American building.
A children's pageant with a cast

is "The Wayfarer" on a miniature
scale. The children are supposed to
be the crusaders Of all the ages
from the time of Stephen, the shep.
herd boy Of Cloyes, down to the very
young who fought IN the great war
just ended.

Christ-reminds one Of the old Bibli-
cal scrolls with their pictures Of the
wise shepherds Of the East, the dis
ciples and the scene in the manger.
The coloring is clear, rich and we'll
defined. The sense Of distance is ef-
fectively conveyed.
The shepherds are seen watching
their f1ocks on the hills Of Judaa.
Then the star appears in the East
A beautiful tableau follows as the
angels appear, heralded by trum-
pets. There is misty halo around
them which gives them an air Of
ethereality. Outstanding incidents
in the life of Christ follow in quick
succession until the consummation Is
reached in the crucifixion and the
resurrection. The rolling away Of
the stone from the grave and the
blaze of light that issues from it is
one of the dramatic incidents Of the
pageant.
There is the swift unfolding of
brilliant dawn in the Eastern sky,
revealing the flowers growing in
clefts of the rocks around the grave
and bathing the cedar trees in sun
shine. The music, which had been
soft, expectant and plaintive as the
stone was rolled away, suddenly
swells triumphant into the strains
of Christ the Lord Is Risen To-
day."
There are nine historical units in
the third episode, "The Conquest" :"
They are strung together without
intermission, and there is a lack Of
conference about this entire episode,
although it is the most popular on
account of the patriotic spectacle
which rounds out the pageant. The
nine units are The Great Commits
sion, The Messengers, The Message.
The Response, Procession of Ma
tionals, Procession of Americans,
The League of Nations, The New
Jerusalem on Earth and Emman-
ue]'s Coronation. The messengers,
men and women, who through the
ages have borne aloft the torch of
Christianity, include Constantine
Augustine, John. Wycliffe, Joan OF
Arc, Martin Luther, John Wesley
Philip Asbury, William Carey, Rob-
ert Morrison, Florence Nightingale

Taylor. Frances Willard, General
Booth, Jacob Riis, George Washing.

Pageant Is Big Feature

The buildings devoted to mission
ary activities, taken as whole, are
fertile source Of interest and in
formation to the visitor. AS the
Centenary is primarily designed to
commemorate the founding of Meth
odist missions, an endeavor has been
made to take comprehensive birds
eye view of the whole foreign field
for the benefit of the clergy and lay
men at home. 1t is probably the
first complete resume of missionary
activity that has yet been presented
in America.

life. The bazaar, with it's brilliant
assortment of silks, wrought metals,
idols and flowers, is a centre of at
traction for feminine visitors. The
alleyways are filled with the rau-
cous cries of the public letter
writer, the fruit peddler, the sweet
meat smeller, the tooth cleaner, the
beggar, the conjurer and the curio
seller.
The high gray walls of Kwang
city rise stark and formidable at
the entrance to the Chinese build
ing. They are hanked by typical
homes and Confucian and Buddhist
temples. Mandarines pad-pad softly
around, while returned missionaries
discourse on the advance of Chris
tianity in the Far East.
In Bl0ssOming Japan
But it is in beautiful, blossom
ing Japan that footsteps linger
longest. 1t is in the hooks and
crannies Of its flowery byways tha-
even the most unintcrested and
skeptical philanderers forget the
flight of time and wander into the
grottoes, pagodas and tea houses,
with their gay paraphernalia Of
colored lanterns and creeping wis
taria. Rustic bridges meander
over miniature streams that make
music among their pebbles. A lily
pond lies clear and cool, with moss
fringed edges. Pretty Japanese
girls flap their fans and blink spec
ulatively at passersby out of their
almond shaped eyes. Sheer physi.
cal beauty is the dominant note in
the Japanese building, yet here and
there are signs of industry, where
the kindergarten is going through
it's PAGES or where the older Jap
anese girls are busy on some OF
their exquisite handiwork.

lily defined in the background Is the
heavenly choir Of angels reaching up
toward the Cross, with men Of all
nations turning their eyes in ths
same direction and the spirit Of
"peace and good will to men" abroad
throughout the world. The share
that the league Of nations will take
in bringing about this universal
brotherhood is foreshadowed when
Understanding reads John Oxen

"Join hands, then, brothers of the

"In Christ now meet both East and

In Him meet South and North
All Christly souls are one in Him

The pageant closes with a mag

chorus from "The Messiah"

heartiest is Brother Van, who is
spending his time leading parades
and talking of old times with the
crowds that flock about him. He
Is in some ways the most notable

forty-eight years Of ministry. He
was the first missionary to reach the
Indians, and he likes to talk about
the prowess Of other days.

An Educational High,cay

In the building devoted to India
the Ganges flows peacefully at the
feet of Benares, with all it's tradi-
tion of wasted sacrificial blood. The
Hindu temple, the Mohammedan
mosque and the sacred monkey
temple, with it's twelve chattering
apes, stand side by side. Here the
sacred pigeons are fed every day
amid much ceremony, while a fakir
resting on bed of spikes attempts
to prove to observers that his soul
rises above the petty pinpricks Of
the flesh. The high caste child-wife
is seen leaving her home in her
dooli chair surrounded by relatives
and friends, who accompany her to
the Zenana, where, forever after,
she must play second fiddle to her
mother-in-law.
Along the educational highway"
of India is a complete demonstra-
ton Of school and college work, from

monial egs, which comes early ia

cover an area of one hundred acres.
There is an immense oval, with an
amphitheatre seating $4,000 people.
The Coliseum, where the pageant is
staged every night, seats 5000 peo-
pie, and there are eight exhibit
buildings, with floor space of 20O.-
600 square feet. The ordinary
amusements of fairdom-merry-go
rounds, scenic railways and fairy
wheels-are all going on apace, to
the delight Of the little people who
flock to the centenary with their
parents. In place Of the Barnum
& Bailey freak sideshows, featur-
ing the Wild Man of Borneo or the
Mad Abyssinian Girl, is a demon
stration of what the missionary has
done for the natives of those coun-
tries where most Of the freaks used
to be unearthed. Sections are de-
voted to the peoples of India, Japan,
Corea, Malaysia, China, Africa, Eu-
rope, the Philippines, the United
States and Latin America. Mis-
sionaries are in charge of each, and
natives are busily at work pursuing
their peaceful occupations before
the curious, spying eyes of the thou
sands that pass them by day after
day. The spectator is transported
as rapidly as if he were seated on
the magic Arabian carpet from the
golden sands Of Central Africa, with
their dusky Kraal denizens, to the
Far North, where the handsome

In Memoriam.

In loving remembrance of u dear
wife and mother, Rebecca E. Carl,
who departed this life March lst, 1918
Just one year ago you left us,
How we miss you, mother, dear,
And remember all your kindness
AS we drop a silent tear.
In silence you suffered, in p~atien4e
you bore,
Till God called you home to suffer
no more.
Time rolls on: it will not stay;
What grief we've felt since that sad
day!
With n SO loving, kind and true,
1t Vas so hard to part with you.
She's passed within the pearly gates
Beyond the golden shore,
The narrow river crossed forevermore
Oh, happy day, who gains the other
side
And wakens in His likeness satisfied.
The last tear wiped away by Gods
own hand.
Upon the threshold of that blissful
land,
Alls sorrow, pain and disappoint-
ments past,
When we shall meet to part no more
at last.
Loving mother true and kind,
No friend like her on earth we'll find.
God called her home-it was his will;
But in our hearts she fingers still.
For all of us she did her best
May God grant her eternal rest.
Oh, mother, how we miss you!
