World-Wide Christian Missions Exposition

Beginning October 25 and continuing till November 23, there will be held in Baltimore, Md., an exposition of World-Wide Christian Missions. Its purpose is to show the progress of Christian civilization in every part of the world. Twelve thousand persons have been secured as voluntary helpers for the exposition, and these will impersonate the natives of the various countries, most of them wearing characteristic costumes. Similar expositions have been held in other cities, and the result has been both educational and inspirational in the interest that has been developed in the cause of missions.
The International Review of Missions for April has a paper on "Research in African Languages," by Professor Meinhof, in which he speaks of the excellent contributions to the study of East African languages "by Wolff, Raum, Kotz, Hendle, and others." The third name in the list is that of one of our German East Africa missionaries.
