EDITORS OBSERVATION.

Chicago the great and mighty
metropolis of the world save three
other cities is indeed study of
wonder. At her grandure her won
derful growth, her sky touring
buildings, her tremendous factor
les, her thrilling industrial thob,
the groan and tread of her teeming
millions. l do really believe that
with the immense people that the
elevated cars above the subterran-
ian cars below, and the regular
cars on the ground and the numer-
Gus automobiles that come down to
town each morning must within a
given hour move million people to
see the rushing down some OF the
streets, one would think it was an
city one should be here several days
but ! will give my readers faint
idea Of the things that impressed
me. The many buildings extending
| from 12 to Fl stories high, and
| then to see them constructing some
of those high buildings, the Masonic
Temple, the U. S. Post Office, the
Government building, the Exchange
the Marshall-Field, the Commerce
buildings are all noted for their
beauty and grandure. Here dwells
more than 80 colored churches of
| nearly every denomination. The A.
M. E. denomination is the largest
| and have the finest buildings, Quinn
Chapel will seat about 1000 people
pastored by Rev. Cook. The Mt.
Olivet Baptist will seat about 1850
| also the Bethel seats about 1,500
/ and Quinn is presided over by that
| abled devine, DR.. Cook, Bethel
by Dr. Roberts who was transferr-
ed from Quinn last year. The Oil
vet Baptist is pastored by the well
known eloquent preacher, Dr.. Fish
er, the Grace Presbyterian church
| Is a beautiful little church, seating
| about 500, pastored by our friend
| Rev. Moses Jackson who came here
! as his first charge many years age
from college, and has built up a
large following. He is an earnest
and able theolog5an. The Episco-
pal have sold their old church and
now own beautiful church on 4Sth
and Wabash Ave. They are getting
J along nicely The Catholic has 6
| very unique church very beautiful
| on the inside. 1t was this church
that Father Tolson died and greatly
lamented by all. They have a white
! preacher and mixed congregation
The Institutional A. M. e. church
is still presided over by DR.. A. ]
| Carey, well known in our city is do.
! ing well. The Bathesda Baptist
| church have a nice church well at
tended, Rev. Timothy Reeves is the
