tury of reconstruction in which no
man may sleep, but work continually.
Then is portrayed what will be
done with the millions of dollars Civ
en- by Centenary for reconstruction
The purchase of agricultural imple-
ments made from the beating of
swords into plowshares. The need of
money in European churches, espec-
tally in France, where twenty-five
million people live who have no relig-
ious faith. The Italian and Russian
program cherished by the Centenary
movement; Malaysia, and the islands
of the South Sea, these and all other
countries will be benefited by money
contributed to the Centenary move
ment. The world will be what Christ

band, and he is made to touch the
tail of sacred COW.
Mohammedan North Africa is Civ
en-, with a Berber wedding in prog
ress. The horrors of polygamy are
portrayed, and the old and faithful
wife is pushed aside for the new.
Then comes an Islamic funeral. The
manners and customs of the country
are thus brought before the gaze of
the spectator exactly as if he were
present. Sunny Japan comes on with
its wealth of bright cherry blossoms
and its quaint inhabitants. The sword
dance is given, and japanese athletics
are portrayed.
American Indians, engaged in their
pagan practices, are then flashed on,
and the invasion of the White Man,
together with his adoption by the
Red Man, is viewed.
Magnificent Mexico
Mexico, with its magnificent seen
cry, belching volcanoes, cactus COW
cred plains and magnificent mines, is
shown. The Mexican children are
seen at play before the adobe houses
of the natives, and their games are
seen as they play them.
Next the City Beautiful. And the
crowded cities, the cathedrals lifting
their loftv spires high into the air,
the business houses, the great pa
geant; the Court of Columbia, the
affairs of Liberty and the Statue of
Liberty, are portrayed.
Reel Four presents the Wayfarer.
This solitary person comes from the
vast unknown and presents himself
at the exhibition. He sees the pres
ent state of social and industrial un-
rest, and bemoans the fate of the
country. He reviews mentally the
Field of Flanders, where he has seen
the dying and the dead, the devasta-
ton and despair But he sees a ray
of light, and the Dawn of Hope is
presented to him, as he witnesses the
sacrifices made by millions in allevlat-
ing the wounds of the soldiers who
made the sacrifices on the fields OF
battle.
This brinos in the most glorious
scene of the picture. The rivers OF
Babylon, the Jewish inhabitants of
the country, the worship OF pagan
gods, all this is seen by Wayfarer on
his journey. The cruelty of the Ba-
bylonian soldiers as the Jews are re-
ceived into captivity. Bethlehem is
shown, and the places He visited
among His friends and disciples. The
sick, the MANNED, the halt and the
blind are brought and laid at the
Gate Beautiful. Palms wave in the
summer air as the triumphal entry
is made into Jerusalem. The trial
in which Pilates orders the crucitix-
ion, and Judas repents bitterly and
gives back the silver for one moment
Of mental peace. Then the dark
march to Calvary, when the sun Is
darkened and the moon fails of her
light.
Joseph's Garden Shown.
The garden of the rich Joseph OF
Arimathea is shown. The early
morning dawns on the Roman sold
iers guarding the tomb. Then the
two Mary's come up to the place, OF

China, Japan, Burma, with all the
quaintness of the country, are shown,
the customs of their peoples, the
picturesque dress, the manner of liv-
ing, the mode Of amusement, archi-
lecture, animal life, and everything
pertaining to these countries so far
removed from the life of western
/ peoples, are accurately portrayed.
The missionaries, as they. go from
place to place, relieving the body as
we'll as the soul, are shown in their in
innate life among these heathern
races, and one is initiated into the
mysteries of what the other half of
the world is doing.
An airplane and birds eye views
are given of the exposition grounds
at Columbus, chart of the grounds
and buildings, showing the Ceaten-
ary celebration as the greatest in the
history of church annals, how this
tremendous undertaking was made
possible, the committees which COM
posed the executive body of the move
ment, how everything was arranged
with machinery-like precision and
perfection, and the prominent speak
ers who took part in the vast pro-
gram.
The Big Parade.
Then comes the big parade, worth
the effort of going just to see the
vast concourse of people from all
parts of the world, all rationalities
represented, the various parades, and
the largest picture screen in the
world.
Then comes the officials of our ma
ton: McAdoo, Daniels, Mott, Crow,
ther, Taft, our only living ex-presi-
dent, Sergeant York, the splendid
hero of the great war, all these and
many more are introduced to the pub

Story of the Picture
The story of the picture is as fol-
lows:
The first scene opens with the great
feat of rebuilding the world after
the destruction of it's peoples. Reel
after reel reveals this stupendous un-
dertaking, and most graphically and
beautifully portrays each accomplish
ment as it is brought to fnality. Then
towards the end of the first reel the
origin of Methodism is shown. The
place IN which the Wesleys lived and
moved and had their beinr is given,
and one almost hears the mother
speak to the children as they play in
front of the rose-covered portico
which extends a fragrant welcome to
the passer-by. The boys are engag-
ed IN the same childlike pursuits as
IN the modern times; marbles, tops,
and various forms of amusement en-
tertain the children, while Mother
Wesley attends to the needs of the
household. The songs the Wesleys
composed and loved are played soft
~ during the revolutions of the reel.
Later, Wesley College, where the be-
loved founder of Methodism attend
ed his literature duties, is also shown,
just as it appeared in his day. Even
an intimate peep is given of the room
IN which he lived during his college
days. One sees the pictures hanging
upon the walls, giving an accurate in
'deX into the character of the gentle
and studious boy at college. Then
the John Wesley of Methodism is
shown, as he becomes impregnated
with the divine spark to go out and
preach the Gospel to every creature.
The vast crowds are shown as they
accept his theory of a gentler re-
ligion and faith in the simple
tenets of his gentle teaching. He
is shown in the various pulpits he oc-
cupied, pulpits in magnificent
churches, and pulpits in the humber
edifices, even an improvised pulpit
on rude platform, giving the faith
of his fathers to the simple hearers.
Wesley's Ship Shown.
The present headquarters of Brit
ish Methodism are portrayed, and the
ship bearing John Wesley to America,
plowing the waves of the sea into this
