This book documents a carefully planned missionary exposition
marketed by church leaders as the "Centenary Celebration of
American Methodist Missions." The three-week event attracted over
one million visitors, each paying fifty cents to enter the Columbus
fairgrounds complex to investigate ways in which American
Methodists were positioning themselves to convert the world to
Christ. The Centenary celebration pointed Methodists toward the
future by challenging fair goers to imagine what Methodist missions
at home and throughout the world might look like in the months and
years following the completion of the exposition. This book is a
product of the 1919 Methodist missionary fair. The speeches and
addresses found within this edited collection function as textual
sound bites to help readers better understand the ideas, language,
and motives of early twentieth century American Methodists.
