THE WORLDS FAIR.
Bishop futile of Missouri ON the Sunday
Opening Question.


ST. LOUIS, Jan. 11.-At a meeting
held in Memorial hall, Monday even
ing, in advocacy of the opening OF the
Worlds fair on Sunday, the following
letter from Bishop Daniel 5. futile Of
the Protestant Episcopal diocese OF
Missouri was read:
ls ST. LOUIS. jan ., 1893
have been asked to give expression to my
opinion concerning the question Of opening the
Worlds fair at Chicago on Sundays. think
the two necessary elements OF the rightful OBJ.
servance Of Sunday are: First, Cessation from
work; second. engaging in the public worship
of Almighty God.
Generally therefore, il men give heed to
these two things it would seem to me that the
essential duties of Sunday observance are dis
charged Yet many things on that day should
also be abstaincd from, not as being strictly
unlawful, but as being entirely unfit and unbs-
coming. can not find it In my heart and con-
science to say that those who havs heedci ths
two essential duties are doing wrong II they
give some OF the time of that day TO the enjoy
ment of the wonder and beauty disclosed by
the works Of God in nature, or OF other won
derful and beautiful things which He has given
to the skill and taste of man to create.
Not only is the religious observance OF the
Lords Day my individual duty, but 1t is also
my oficial duty week by week, or oftener. to
proclaim in the ears OF listening congregations
the sacred law ITO remember the Sabbath Day
to keep it holy" 1t would therefore i'll become
me to join in any request for 80 relaxing the
observance on Sunday as to interfere With ths
primary obligation OF the worship Of Almighty
God on that day.
But with the morning preserved for ths
sacred services OF public worship. and with
the toll and MOL Of hard work put away for
men aud women as far as possible, am OF the
opinion that It would be right and wholssome
to open the Worlds fair to the people for .
portion Of every Sunday, thus giving OPP
portunity to very many persons to be interest.
ed and instructed. who could not well at any
other time find it possible to attend.
I therefore beg to announce myself ~
definitely in favor OF opening the Worlds fair
in Chicago one very Sunday during ito continu-
ance from and after IL O'Clock noon

stead steel works. This dissatisfaction
is no greater among the ex-strikers
than among the non-unionists, who
claim that they are not being paid the
wages promised them by the COM
pany throughout the country when
entering the service for the firm.
The growing of the old hands
become more ominous each day, and it
is the opinion not only of men who
work in the mill, but OF Homestead
citizens generally, that by spring the
Carnegie company will have another
Homestead strike on its hands. Should
it come to question of organizing for
another strike which, Judging from
present indications, is not at all i'm.
probable, the non-union men in the
works will be taken in, rs they are as
loud, If not more so, in their denuncia-
ton OF the treatment rs are the ex-
strikers.

and friend OF the great army Of men that
worked in his magnificent shops. He
paid them full wages. IIo loved Them
He lived with them and of them. He
was their counselor, their guide, their
father, their friend, and when he died
the great army of worilingmen mourned
for him as though God had taken from
their own home circle their best beloved.
