The morning news. [volume] (Savannah, Ga.) 1887-1900, 1893-08-20

shoes, pins, needles, thread court plaster
and anything else which yon think would
add to your days comfort and launch forth
upon your Journey The fair grounds
seem to be the objective point of every
body and everything in Chicago, so any
OF the street ears will eventually land
YOU at one of the six entrances. You
may have to change cars several times,
but that makes no difference. The CON
ductors are very lavish with their trans
fers, sometimes giving you one when 1t is
not needed, thus getting you into trouble
for you feel bound, through gratitude, TO
use them, when suddenly you may find
yourself on the wrong car. That's moth
ing-another transfer to go back again
Once admitted to this nineteenth century
wonder, YOU are self-forgetting until you
have tramped around from one immense
building to another, gazing at things you
never even dreamed of and wondering how
it all happened, when suddenly your at
tention is called to the fact that
you have pair of feet, and begin to
wonder how you will ever get them home
Rest awhile in one OF the numerous cafes
and order square meal-such a one as
the woman's building is capable of furn-
ishing-notOrious for its excellent menu;
and by no means slight the White House
Inn. There you win find mime host" in
all his vigor, though, as you all remom-
Der, he was reported dead some years
ago. Another nineteeth century wonder
/ have not my revised dictionary by mo,
with list of new adiectives, so will not
attempt any description OF the magnih-
cent picture this great exposition inn
presses upon the mind but | do wish
that every American could look upon this
mammoth outdoor panorama, made
gorgeous at night by
that magic power electricity. One
could easily fancy himself transported
to Elysium, while standing on one OF the
arches which bridge over the lagoon,
whose water Is made bright and merry by
thousands of Jets Of electricity around its
edge, and pretty gondolas gliding swiftly
by, filed with youth and beauty, whose
voices ring out in mirth and song of love
and flowers. Then as far as eye could
reach, the massive palaces as of marble
towering above us, some with gilded
domes, all with handsome groups Of statu-
airy, and electric lights pouring from every
conceivable and inconceivable point; o
moving mass of humanity promenading
up and down the Court of Honor
Heaven, nature and aarth all seemed
twinkling and teeming with Joy, and ali
tell of the wonderful gifts OF God to man
and the night sang GLORY to God in the
Highest, Peace on Earth, Good VIII 10
Man"
I would certainly advise no one to
visit Chicago without taking in the ia
nous drive, which was spoken of in St.
Nicholas. The boulevards and parks Of
Chicago are well worth seeing, and as to
Lake Michigan to me IL is a revelation Of
bcauty-a marvel You can drive along
its shores for some six or eight miles, I'M
til the renowned and beautiful Lincoln
park is reached It was my pleasure to
"a hi va Ao of a
ing most delightful service in the far
famed ST James Episcopal church. Fol
lowing the advice Of our beloved and
eminent divine who some time ago,
at ST. Johns, so ably read US
our duty on the Observance of
of the Sabbath, I first attended church;
thus panoplied with love to God and love
to neighbor | went forth to see God In
nature and TO worship Him, not by the
River of Babylon, but by the lake of Oh i
cagO, still hearing the words Of the beau
tiful hymn, Heaven and Earth Are Full
of Thy Glory" The driver soon announced
Lincoln park where new beauties dawned
upon us Flowers cultivated to form
beautiful designs, far too elaborate for
me to describe; artificial lakes where
some were enjoying q gentle row, while in
others the wonderful Victoria Regina
1ourishes in perfection Upon the beau
tiful lawn saw thousands of working
men, who with their families land
baskets of lunch, Of course) had
left the heat and dust of the city miles
behind, and taken refuge In this beautiful
park. Most of them seemed quietly loung-
ing upon Mother Earth, which nature had
kindly covered with green like unto vel
vet, and shaded with stately oaks. /
know there were many godly men there,
those who had somebody's orphans, some
body's darlings TO care for, and | doubt
not many an earnest prayer assembled TO
Jesus Christ the church one foundation,
for strength to go forth the following day
to fight the good fight; and thanksgiving
that there are men who by their lives and
example prove that the Sabbath was made
for man and not man for the Sabbath.
My inca is, that what we want, is q
higher standard of Christians, a better
quality, so TO speak, more positive church
work. Men and women who will shoulder
some of the responsibility Of
the work they have undertaken,
lifting some Of the care and toll from our
rectors and pastors 1--WE are well taught
our duty, but it is so much easier to light
en- our own burden, and leave the load Of
blame for another. IL is so easy TO leave
home for the summer and forget TO leave
a small sum in the hands Of the one whose
duty it is to provide for the pensioners of
our church, it is so much easier to break
the ninth commandment than to keep II,
in short it is so much easier for faith
full church-goer to act in manner, in
thousand little ways, to run others away
from church, rather than attract them,
and then retire from the scene, and let
some venerable sister or brother
dwell upon the lack of inter
est the clergy have in our sons. Search
myself" the trouble is not with the cler-
gy The church is the universe and God
its sovereign ruler. Love is the fulfilling
of the law" and when the church mem
bers' lives prove that the love of Christ
constraineth them, there will be no more
empty churches; better still, the harvest
win be ripe for the kingdom.
Pardon this depression, but l am ready
now to return TO Chicago 1 cannot leave
