SUNDAY AT THE WORLDS FAIR.
The press of the country, with but
here and there al exception, responding
to and representing the sentiment of the
people, has taken strong grounds in
favor of Sunday opening of the Worlds
F air. Responding to the pressure from
the laboring classes-from the thousands
who cannot attend the fair on any other
day, the directors decided to open the
gates on Sunday, and as a result
over 100000 intelligent, orderly and re.
spectacle persons of all nationalities-
the working classes predominating-
attended the great exposition on the first
day of this week. Unless restrained by
the courts the grounds will continue to
be open on Sundays during the fair
season.
Millions have been spent for the H.
struction and pleasure of those who at
tend the fair. Temples of learning, skill
and beauty in It's strongest and best
sense have been erected where men may
feast their eyes and satisfy their hearts
without the suggestion of an impure or
unworthy thought. It is a sermon in
language comprehended by all tongues.
AS on the day of P%entacost, each may
hear the spirit of God speaking to his
own heart in his own. Man was Gods
highest and last creation. Whether in
six days or SIX thousand or six hundred
million years matters not when man was
created, the machinery of the universe
was in full motion and the work of crea-
ton, in a special sense ceased and that of
improvement commenced, and that work
has been intrusted to man. AS in man
is found every element utilized by the
Creator in the creation of all other
things, the works of man testify to the
glory of God no less than the grand and
beautiful which comes from his W
hand. And to see and admire the works
of man is to pay homage to Him.
The Sabbath was instituted for man
as a day Of rest, recreation and worship.
Whether it was God who commanded
or the highest interests of humanity, it
is a law of the material universe that
is essential to growth and development.
He, who provides the best, the most
satisfying things that tend to ease the
heart and uplift the soul does most for
humanity and for the glory of God.
Those, who deny the aid to a higher life
which such influences may bring be-
they are to be contemplated on
Sunday, deny the cup of cold water to
His little ones, and will have far more to
answe for than some who unwittingly
commit grosser errors.
To see the pure, the true, the beauti-
full leads to pure and correct thinking,
and correct thinking to correct doing.
Correct doing leads to happiness here
and assures 1t in the hereafter. Its in
auence on humanity is only for good.
Evil thinking leads to the condition of
remorse and tears. The active mind
must have something to feed upo
Satisfy it with the good and it will not
seek the evil. It is not true that to be
wicked is the natural condition Of man.
1t is natural for man to be good and
pure. Place before him the good and
the beautiful, and he naturally turns
from the opposite. Open the gates of
the fair and the thousands who must 90
somewhere on Sunday, but who are too
tired and restless and uneasy to listen to
prosy sermons, or who do not accept the
teachings OF those who are accessible to
them will go there and be benefited
their minds and hearts uplifted and per-
haps their consciences quickened by
some new thought or suggestion or les
son taught.
