'srhis is the happiett summer of all
my life," said Dwight L. Moody, The
other day, in spasking of the christian
work which be aud his colleagues are
accomplishing in Chicago. Il will be
remembered that one Of the strongest
reasons assigned for Sunday opening
of the fair was that visitors Wond not
attend divine services on the Sabbath, |
and 90 be at the the mercy Of the |
saloon and theater. This statement
has proved as false IS the one that the
laboring man wanted an open Sunday
fair. The churches of Chicago were
never 90 crowded as during this season,
and never were 30 many halis and
theaters turned INTO places of worship.
Audiences Of fifty Thousand people is
q small average for these extra meet
ings. 1t is expected that September
will be a very active month with
christian workers and that thousands
of Worlds Far visitors will return to
their homes with a spiritual blessing
infinitely more uplifting than any IN
tellectnal good that may have come by
way of the beaulies Of the exposition.
Mr. Moody and his eo-laborers are
Teaping harvest Of souls for the
master and should have the bearties,
assistance Of every christian of what
ever creed or patton. May God blesl

Again has the Kaleidoscope of Sun
day opening shifted another scene, and
now the darkest side of all is before
us---dark not only because the gates
remain open by order of the court
but because the court that so ordered
it was drunk--according 10 tho city
papers. When the subject was las
presented to our readers, the ClingmaI
injunction suit against the closing o
the gates had been entered, but 1t wa
expected that il would be prompt
dissolved Not so, however, it Wa
taken TO Judge GoggIn's court, an

decision of the other two judge'
BTentano and Dunno, whom he ha
invited 10 sit with him, and ordere
q continuance of the suit sixty day
or 10 other words until the close Of th
fair. But worse than his arrogai
ruling and arbitrary spirit were b
language and conduct while on II
bench. His friends claim that Il
most charitable explanation is that |
was under the influence Of liqno
Prominent newspapers have demands
bis resignation. 10 the meantime, Il
injunction snit has been taken 4
another court for dissolution, and :
