A THREE DAYS VISIT IN CHICAGO.

Editor Jasper County Democrat, Friends and Acquaintances—Saturday, August 19, I and my , sister, Martha J. Dickinson, arrived in Chicago and were met at the depot by Mrs. John Hoskins of Chicago and escorted to Mrs. R. C. Mueller’s, 1341 LaSalle street. We visited the Masonic temple and went up to the 19th floor and saw the wonderful airships flying over the lake Michigan. It was a beautiful sight to see them flying gracefully through" the~ air, some going up, some coming down, and all the time traveling in a circle. I was informed that one went up 11,000 feet, breaking the world’s record. The sight was grand and magniflcient. We went down to Michigan avenue and watched the airships for an hour on the lake shore. They sailed through the air easily and gracefully like so many birds. Down very near the water, then soaring high, would circle and come down again, and no accidents occurred while we watched this beautiful sight. We went to church Saturday night to hear our friend and truthseeker, Bro. Barton of thte Brooklyn Tabernacle. He preached from Ecclesiastics 12; 1-7, and the way he unraveled the Scriptures, the types, antetypes, symbols, dark sayings, parables and the literal language, was spiritual food, for many blessings to be poured out upon the vast audience of 1,000 people. This meeting was held in University Hall, Dearborn Ave and Lake St‘

On Sunday we attended church again, also Sunday evening. ’ We listened to Bro. Barton’s discourse for two hours—the most wonderful sermons I have ever heard from the lips of any teacher of the true gospel, the faith which was once delivered unto the saints. On Monday morning at 8:30 we left Chicago, and arrived at Fair Oaks at 10:48, and home for dinner.

JOHN CASEY,
