Taara TION IN FAIR ARRANGERRNTS.
In visiting the World's fair one 1n,.
Mentally visits Chicago, and the
Windy City" in itself is well worthy
a visit from the tourist, aside from
s fact that it embraces within hie 1ta
!f rnopolitan arms all the magnificent
beauties of the fair, Situateas it is at
he (lead of Lake Michigan, it forms a
Market for the great west, tho growth
-f which has been unprecedented.
rhe growth of the city itself is equally
e'onderfol. Ie 1871 it seemed alrnost
wiped orit of existence by the great
re, which destroyed, it is estimated,
'amething like $300,000,000 worth of
roperty, but Chicago, with the push
nd energy which has since become a
haracteriatic of its citizens, looked
,bout it drew itself together, and ime
ediately began the building of the
jay 'which to -day is the second largest
n America. Whatever may be the
pinion as to its desirability as a place
f residence there can be but one
pinion as to its opportunities commer-
ially..
A BUSY i'iETROPOLIS.
When one elbows—for that is prac-
,ically what one does --their way down
tate et., one wonders where all the
eople have come from and where
hey are all going. and your wonder
ncrr'ases when - yell pass clung street
fter street and find each one more
rowded than the last, , every street
ar with standing room only, and the
lerks in eli the stores so busy that if
hey can possibly find time to listen
o what you want inside of fifteen
'Mutes you may consider yourself
ery fortunate. A walk down South
ater-st., during the early morning
ours is worth the trouble one ex-
erience3 in performing that feat.
t is ie wholesale produce market, and
hatever was not piled ou the side-
vatks appeared, to be pulled on the
agons, which, with their shacks to
he sidewalks, lined the street on both
ides as close together as sardines in a
me On the sidewalks were boxes to
ight of you, boxes to left of you,
iled so high that you couldn't possi-
y see over them. It1 the centre'there
s left a narrow path' through which
ou can pass providing you dodge into
doorway when more boxes loom up
n front of you oii a tr4k. I wonder -
d why the merchanta rented stores,
or to as passer by all eheir produce
ppeared to be on the Tea.
THE PARKS AND DOi.LEVARDS.
After making up yotir mind that
he World's fair vieitordaxe the largest
art of the crowd in th4 city it rather
aggers one to find that each day the
hite city bas its full complement of
liters. Chicago hada very pretty
ystern of parks. On,e can make a
ireuit of the eity without leaving the
oulevards and parks, and one of the
rives arranged for this year's visitors
an extensive circuit of the city in a
'tally -ho" coach. . Unfortunately
his drive is only taken on Sunday,
hick of course shuts ont all Cana -
lens, or at least it ought to. Lincoln
rk is prettily situated on the lake
front, and its winding walks, shady
ooks, menagerie, lakes, etc., are fully
ppreciated by the Chicago public.
In this park is the very handsome
!electric fountain given to the city by
lyir, Yerekes, the street railway king,
t plays only on Monday and Friday
ghts, but on these two evenings
t.bottsands of people visit the park to

city as the smoke will permit, which
varies on different days Max O'Rell,
in spettkislg of Cincinnati, says that it
is built at tho hoteont of a smoke
stuck—with perfect truth, t think, he
eonld hale said tat) same think of
Chicago. It would be diflieult to
imagine a more beautiful site for
residences than the lake shore drive
iu Chicago. It is very wide, and on
the west side are the residences, On
the east sidethe lake. A, very marked
difference exists in the use to which
Canadian cities put •their lake fronts
-•-Toronto tor example. Tile lake is a
great blessing to Chicago, purifying,
cooling and Clearing the air. I am
sorry the same oannqt be said of the
river. if there is the;;host of a cur-
rent it flows inland—hot toward the
lake—and the water iaaleok, sluggish,
slimy and highly oderi.erous ; in fact
the most pleasant vvay to cross the
Chicago river ie to go o er it as fast as
you can and use your i aniikerchiet as
a filter to breathe throieh while you
are going. A. more pltfisant way still
is to else the line of en le cars which
run ander the river, al el so escape all
the abominations above
PEOPLE FROM EVERY CLIME.
The population of Chicago is about
1,500.000, and is very ,'Cosmopolitan.
It is the largest Bohemian city in the
world excepting Praigue, and the
lamest Polish city i . the world ex-
cepting Warsaw.+ erinans seem
almost as numerous is Americans,
while Jews, Freneltuen, Italians,
Chinese, Irishmen, a [(C;., help to swell
the census roll of this;iimmense city.
HOW SUNDAY IS/IHONORED.
Chicago's Sunday' is not a day of
rest. The daily newspaper conies to
you larger and more interesting than
on any other of the , six days. The
theatres are alttiest all open; the street
cars ere all running; and all crowded ;
the fruit, candy, ant drug stores all
opeu, and in some quarters of the city
the small grocery avid dry goods steres
also. All the "family resorts" and
beer gardens are open, and there are
enough of them to .•support the whole
population of the city and perhaps the
World'sfelr visitorstl
thrown in. Sun-
day is the day for popular excursions
by lake to )Iilwaukee ,and other lake
points. Picnics, plrblie and private,
are the order of;heday by rail, by
steamboat, by stree• car. The parks
are alive with peop a and everythiug
has the festive appearance of a holiday.
The city is poorly supplied with
Churches, and christien work is being
carried on very vigorously this sum-
mer. Mr. Moody hal brought many
of the best evangelistslto labor iu the
city, and nightly,in Pitlter Mr. Moody's
church or in the Empire theatre Rev.
John McNeil preaches to thousands,
and Mr. Moody himself in the Hay-
market tlleatre,Mr. Forepaugh's circus
tent, or wherever he on secure ace
commodation, speaks tie gospel mes-
sage to crowed houses. a Many others
besides ars doing similaa work.
WHAT THE CITIZENS HAVE DONE FOR
THE FAIR.
It is Characteristic of the Chicago
people that they have apptrentty gone
one and all into pre.parie ions for the
great fair. They have raised an ime
mense amount of money .'• by private
subscription ; they have gjven over to
the use of the fair ono of the most
suitable sites for an exposition wbicb
could possibly have heen' found. in
America ; they have planned the
grounds and buildings one the most
elaborate and extravagant 'scale; they
have made every arrangenteut for the
convenience of the visiting thousands.
Prominent business men Nave given
up their business, and society women
have given up society, that f,hey might
give their whole time to tile keeping
of the best machinery of the fair in
motion. It fact it is diffietilt to im-
agine in what way the fair' and its
management could be improyed. Too
much cannot be said in praise of the
arrangements which have been made
for the comfort of visitors ; unless one
were absolutely bent upon doing so,
one could hardly go wrong. Directions
everywhere, from the finger -boards
marked To the Pair," to the guide-
books (narked a quarter. There is
never any crowding, the platforms are
Ito wide, the cars with a door at the
end of every seat so numerous, ticket
offices so plentiful, entrance gates to
the grounds in such nurebers,tlle walks
through thegrounds and aisles through
the buildings so wide, thlt with the
exception of one or two exhibits °of
special interest, such as Tiffany's
diamonds or the Cape Colony diamond
washings, there is not eveer the semb-
lance of a crowd. Chiottgol has gent

TIIE SOCIAL CO1MMITTEE.
This cein.ulittee is, perhaps, not so
vitally important as the Lookout and
prayer-ineeting, but it is well-nigh in-
dispensable, and any so)ety attempt-
ing to worst without It twill be badly
crippled.
What after all, is a lad Commit-

ply to make a violeut efl'drt to hold a
successful social once or

ignoble casee. if so, th

ere is far
.one • by the
Social Committee that is' alive to its
responsibilities,
Not that we underrate he influence
of a good social; it Is a vela/ important
feature in our work, it -is essential
that the members shoulcl}1 a with each
other: and, iu any but th.. small so-
cieties, socials are refill., necessary to
promote this acquaint nce. To be
successful in our eforte to bring in
new members to the soc ety, we must
first get hold of the stealers, and
often this can best he lone through
the social gathering. hen there are
new comers to your chetah, and it is
your duty to snake thele feel at horse,
even if you cannot ltdce them to join
your society; there arr. indifferent ones
who may be helped aryl perhaps won
through the instrumentality. of the
social. Don't be selfish in your soci-
eties; don't let your main object be to
have a good time youaself; but in this
as in all things remelxlber • the text,
"Not to be ministered unto but minis-
ter." Of course. it may be well to
occasionally hold a social for members
only, tbat they may get still better
acquainted with each other but when
your social is a general one, to which
all are invited, or a reception to any
special class, such as the students in
your town or a neighboring society,
remember your guests first'. And is
not the great thing, ekte r all, in the
true suceess.of a socials, that we shall
treat all our guests as eousiderately as
if they were visiting in our own homes
not in a formal or a pitrouizing man-
ner, but with true, Ifrauk, cordial
Christian friendship? While the
whole society is really the hest • the
Social Committee it 'specially so
and it in their duty to forget their own
enjoyment, in order to ee that none
are left out in the cold,,
hat the com-
pany does not divide in r cliques, that
the stranger is introdu era to those
with whom he will feel t hole, that
the little things are to ed after. It
is self-denying work, bu it pays. We
have not space to devo a suggestions
for programmes, etc ,bu would simply
suggest that the progr mule should
always he short, that p enty of time
may be left for conve sation; and,
above all things, let uss to it that
our socials shall not hi der the dis-
tinctly spiritual worked, i but greatly
help it.
'But a very important' part of the
cornmittee's work, is at lthe prayer -
meeting, greeting both members and
visitors at the door, and ;;seeing that
none slip out the meeting without, a
hearty handshake and ani invitation
to come again. Societies', report ex-
cellent results from a five-minute
intermission for social intercourse
before the close of the meeting. Let
this committee take a special interest
in our new members, and especially
associate members; see that they get
thoroughly acquainted invite theta to
your houles,if they are etrangers,and to
your pew in church; be sere to recog
nize them on the street, or anywhere
that you meet them. Your work is
never done; in the old Methodist watch
word, you must be "all at it, and
always at it." We are eunvinced that
the influence of our Christian homes
should be used far` more than it is,
especially with young men are exposed
to temptations, as a counter attrac-
tions to the snares of the devil. Let
the social Committee loop after this as
far as they can.
And so ,the members of the Cern
mittee can be working everywhere ---
