ment Of the New England Magazine.

agement, and it is understood that he

that those who participated in the cell

the day. Altogether it was . grand
day and surprisingly free from acci-

A worlds fair Sunday school building
has just been completed in the environs
of the fair grounds, which is attracting
considerable interest among church
people both here and abroad. 1t is a
beautiful structure, built after the
fashion Of the fair buildings, and is q
model of architectural excellence. 1t
is located just across from the fair
grounds on Stony Island avenue, on
the western side, about midway of the
park. The object of the building is to
provide meeting place for those in
terested in Sunday school work during
the fair. The building will be removed
after the close of the exposition. The
