Religious Pageant Feature
of Church Celebration at
Columbus. Breaking Prec.
edent of Denominations
Great War Part of Theme
New York Will Probably See
Production Later in Year:
1000 Children in Chorus

COLUMBUS. Ohio, July 5.-Tke most
Centenary celebrations going on here
is the pageant staged every night
in the Coliseum. II l. a radical de-
parturo for Mothodism
There is an old and almost forgotten
Injunction in the Methodist constitu-
ton that the theatre is something to
be ignored, not fostered Yet organized
Methodism is putting on religious
pageant which will probably appear
in New York, Chicago and other large
centres later. The fact that it has been
created and developed by minister
and that it is sponsored by many dig
nitaries Of the Methodist Church may
be accounted for in the avowed object
of the entire centenary celebration.
To quote one of the officials
"Our entire celebration marks the
progression Of Methodism. l. was
planned to commemorate the history
and the achievements Of the last CEN
fury. But it not only takes back
ward look it takes in the sweep Of the
whole horizon of the present and sends
out a call 10 American Methodism TO
meet the problems Of the future.
Is Like Passion Play
"The Wayfarer." as the pageant is
called, is Biblical production. Christ
is the central figure, although he is
not impersonated. The whole thing
resembles the old passion play. The
Rev. J. +. Crowther, who conceived
and developed the theme, acts as pro-
locutor.
The music is directed by W. J.
Craft, of Columbia University. and
consists largely of oratorio selections
from Handles Messiah" The orches-
ira Of 70 represents the Cincinnati
and Chicago Symphony Orchestras.
There is a ohidren's chorus of thou
sand voices. The climax is achieved
in the Halleluja chorus.
Story of War Is Told
II begins with the crash Of war.
depicting the outbreak of the conflict
in Europe. Impressive action follows
peals of thunder, roar of guns. roll
of drums. blare of bugles, scream Of
shells and the hiss of liquid fire.
Then follows scene of desolation
consequent upon the war The way
farer appears, lonely figure, voicing
his depression. Understanding. whose
part is taken by woman, leads him
into Babylon and shows him the dis
enlargement OF the people there who
have been promised great things, but
have not yet realized them.
The second episode pictures the life
Of Christ. his upbringing, his triumphal
entry into Jerusalem, the Cruciiixion
and the Resurrection.
The third episode represents The
Conquest" At the beginning the Way
farer committed himself to the pro-
gramme Of world conquest. Then he
turns to spiritual things. and the ulti-
mate triumph of Christianity is shown
in nine scenes, until in the final all
the nations of the earth assemble to
pay tribute to Christ.
There are 1000 singers and partici-
pants in the cast. Henry Herbert takes
the part Of the Wayfarer.

WHAT IS BEING DONE
TO IMPROVE THE GAS?

~ BELIEVE the best answer to this question is in the photographs repro
w duced on this page of our new 100000 plant at Kansas street and
McLemore avenue, now nearing completion. We realized early in the fall of
1917 that n order to keep our product up to the highest standard that the cree
ton of this plant was necessary, and despite the tremendous difficulties and
costs of building, decided at that time to start construction. DELAYS in recev-
ing materials and equipment made it impossible to complete this plant as soon as
we had hoped, but the work has progressed rapidly recently, and it is only a
matter OF few weeks at most until it will be in operation. The completion of
this plant will make an addition of fifty per cent to our manufacturing fanM-
ties, and Will insure the production of the highest quality gas at all times. Our
new coke ovens alone will be a tremendous factor in improving the gas. Under
conditions tor the las. few months it has been impossible at some times to secure
The news scimitar. (Memphis, Tenn.) 1907-1926, 1919-03-01

coke al all, and at all times to secure our pre-War quality. Our new ovens will
enable us to burn our own coke, thus assuring a standard and uniform grade at
all times. Improvements in our old plant have been tremendous, and have
progressed to where we are turning out a much higher quality If gas than in the
past few months. AS these Improvements progress the gas will continue to i'm
prove, and the completion of the new plant nsures complete relief.
SOJE WANT to assure our patrons that everything humanity possible has been
w ands being done to improve the gas situation. War conditions, govern
nent restrictions, the scarcity of experienced labor and dozens of other things that
have been among the problems of every large manufacturer in the country,
have contributed to bring about the present situation. We want to thank you
for the patience and consideration you have shown and ask your indulgence for
a short time only, and promise complete and lasting relief in the near future.
