Antecedents

Hasinoff, Erin L.

[On the first day, a gospel procession of more than 7,000 marched through the streets of Boston waving American flags or Sunday school, and church society banners. This “scene of extraordinary outdoor religious devotion” led all eyes to Mechanics Building (Boston Daily Globe 1911b:1). There,...

Hasinoff, Erin L.

Spiritless Pleasures

Hasinoff, Erin L.

Pages: 83 –97

An Established Tradition

Hasinoff, Erin L.

Pages: 101 –119

Hasinoff, Erin L.

Pages: 121 –134

Scripted Parts

Hasinoff, Erin L.

Pages: 153 –169

[Rev. William H. S. Hascall, costumed in the scarlet robes of a Burmese Buddhist monk, sat on the steps of a monastery.
