exhibition ot goods on a small scale or a large
scale, for county or city, for one nation or for
all nations. My text brings us to the fairs of
ancient Tyre, a city that is now extinct.
Part of the city was on an island, the and part
on the mainland. Alexander, eonquerer,
was much embarrassed when he found so
much of the city was on an island, for
he had no ships. But his military genius
was not to lie balked. Having marched
his army to the beach, he ordered them to
tear up the city on the mainland and throw
it into the water and build a causeway two
hundred feet wide to the island. Bo they
took that part of the city which was on tho
mainland and with it built a causeway of
timber and brick and stone, on which his
army marched to the capture of that part of
the city which was on the island, as though
a hostile army should put Brooklyn into the
East River, and over it march to the capture
of New York. That Tyrian causeway
of ruins which Alexander’s army
built, is still there, and by united al¬
luvial deposits has mainland, permanently that it

is no longer an island but a promontory.

The chapter from my
after enumerating tho richest countries in
all the world f-odk says of Tyre: “They traded fair in
thy fairs.” in upon a world’s at
Tyre. Ezekiel leads us through one depart¬
ment and it is a horse fair. Under fed and
over driven lor ages, the horses of to-day
give you no idea of the splendid animals
whicli, rearing and plunging and snorting
and neighing, were brought down over the
plank of the ships and led into the world’s
fair at Tyre until Ezekiel, who was a min¬
ister of religion and not supposed to
know much about horses, cried out in
admiration: “They of the house of Togar
mah traded in thy fairs with horses.” H ere

You must remember that the Pentecost

and yet the was tre¬

were touched? The account says:
“Parthians is, and Modes and Elamites,”
that people from the eastern countries; the
“Phrygia and Pamphylia,” that is, west¬

the international exposition of 1893.
By one stroke the gorgon of war might

To them I make this timely and sol¬

not talk about the poetry of war to the men
of the Federal or Confederate armies who

members of the Christian commission, saw

an monster was
born in the lowest cavern of perdition, and
I pray that it may speedily descend to the
place from which it arose, its last sword and
shield and musket rattling on the bottom of
the red hot marl of hell. Let there be called
a peace convention for 185)2, with delegates
sent by all the decent Governments of
Christendom, and while they are in session,
if you should some night go out and look
into the sky above the exposition build¬
ings, you may find that the old gallery of
crystal, that was taken down after the Beth¬
lehem anthem of eighteen centuries ago was
sung out, angelic is rebuilt again in the clouds, and
the same singers are returned with
the same librettos of light t to chant “Glory to
God in the highest, and on earth peace, good
will to men.”
Again, I suggest in regard to the World’s
Fair that, while appropriate places are pre¬
pared for all foreign exhibits, we make no
room for the importation of foreign vices.
America has enough of its own, and we need
no installments of that kind. A world’s fair
will bring all kinds of people, good and bad.
The good we must prepare to welcome, the
bad we must prepare to shun. The attempt
will again be made in 1893, as in 1876,
to break up our American Sabbaths.
That attempt was made at the Phila¬
The delphia American Centennial, Sabbath but is was the best defeated. kept

broken down, and substituted in the place
thereof the Brussels Sabbath, the Vienna
Sabbath, the St. Sabbaths, Petersburg Sabbath or Sab any

gran dohildren will be here in America under
a despotism as bad as in those lands where
they turn the Lord’s day into wassail and
frolic.
Among those who come there will be, as at
other expositions, lordly people who will
bring their vices with them. Princes Among the
Dukes and Duchesses and and
Princesses of other lands are some of the

but tho simple natural
function of singing has not yet received
its full meed of attention. In Italy,
some years ago, statistics were taken
which proved that the vocal artists were
especially long-lived und healthy, under
normal circumstances, while of the brass
instrumentalists itwus discovered that con¬
sumption never claimed a victim among
them. Those who have a tendency to¬
ward consumption should take easy vocal
exercises, no matter how thin and weak
their voices seem to be. They will find
a result at times far surpassing any re¬
lief afforded by medicine. Vocal prac¬
tice, in moderation, is the best system of
general gymnastics that can be imag¬
ined, many muscles being brought into
play that would scarcely be suspected of
action in connection with so s mple a
matter ns tone production. Therefore,
apart from all art considerations, merely
as a matter of health, one can earnestly
say to the heal iby, “Sing! that you may
remain s >, ” and to the weakly, “Sing
that you may become strong.”
