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 ten the riotous waters bubbling, groping and bursting into the air clear d pure, and then changing suddenly t absolutely into drooping sparkles f golden, searlet, purple and orange into, only to change again as sud- r1erly into other colors as it forces it• ''Half upward again with renewed vigor. he effects are prodneed by the pass. of colored lights of glass across electric lights which light the itairt from beneath. ADVANTAGE'S AND DRAWBACKS, tagnificent views of the city can be f1 - b ld high h n t 'orct the tops of filo fl sky scrapers they call them,--- m the, top of the Masonic ing especially good. The 21 storeys high, and on the by glass, ill RD 0170drvK• youa s faro t tory,o which can see u f m r on Lake Michigan anti as far over the 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.

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- tee for? Is it, as some imagine, sin- ply to make a violeut efl'drt to hold a successful social once or its term and then to ignoble casee. if so, th need for a standing cont we are convinced than tl more than that to be hrice during subside into 're is little itten. But 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.
