Religion at the Panama Fair

THE plans of the Federal Council of the Churches of Christ in America provide, through its committee of one thousand, for the erection of a large auditorium and exhibit in the interests of Christianity at the exposition to be held in San Francisco in 1915. The New York Times of February 7 says:—

Dr. Bell proposed twenty-five distinct lines of Christian work to be carried on throughout the exposition, including a great religious exhibit, showing all that evangelical Christianity has done for humanity. He also suggested the erection of a large building inside the exposition grounds, costing $240,000, to house the exhibit and also to provide an auditorium for addresses by prominent men each day. Outside the grounds it is proposed to erect a large tabernacle, with smaller halls, for evangelistic work under the leadership of such men as Gypsy Smith, John McNeill, Billy Sunday, and Dr. Chapman.
