A NOVEL MOVING.
FRIENDS OF THE C.. c.: Almost every question

many OF our members are interested in poultry?

OPEN THE WORLDS FAIR SUNDAY.
c. C. FRIENDS: do not agree with George
Haner ia her view OF the Worlds Fair question
BY all means open il on Sunday There will be
and make them better educated men and women.
Our country has always placed so much stress on
public education that IL would be inconsistent 10
take such an action In an affair Of this nature.
suppose you think that six days out of seven Is
enough. So IL is for those who able to attend
the six days, but did you stop TO think that
there is large class Of people who work hard from
early morning until late night every one of those
six days for the plain living OF themselves and
families whose only day for rest, recreation or the
eeyating of their minds is this seventh day:
Did you ever think that In 30 large city as Chicago
this class must be an immense one? And did the
thought ever occur 10 your mind that they also
might like TO learn something of foreign countries
well different parts Of own? Their op.
portunities for acquiring such knowledge are
limited; 1t would be griercps wrong to deprive
them OF this opportunity. One might well say
close all our city parks on Sunday, 50 that the
Lords Day shall not be descended. For such an
action would the people hold that day In any moro
veneraion? Rather less.
As for England taking part In the Fair II
opened on Sunday, that is nonsense. She will be
there Sunday Sunday. England has always
worked for her own advancement too earnestly to
bite of her nose to spite her face" Yours, Pro
