LOST AT THE GREAT ^a—.FAjR^nBY G El—M A NAAQRUDER.

HE Russian fairs at Nixbni _ w Novgorod are rather -good M* 6 Instances of everything • M which n world’s fair should not be. They are qoalnt and medieval, however. being vast gatherings of semlbarbarous peoples and tribes of many races. They are worth visiting once, with camera and note. book. Nixbni Novgorod Is situated at the confluence of the geat river Volga with the Oka. There has been an annual fair here, or In this vicinity, for ten centuries. The city is on both tides of the Oka. The fair la - held on the left bank, in a system of booths and warehouses, of both wood and atone, constructed especially for the purpose. Ordinarily the population does not exceed sixty thousand, but during the fair there are gomefimes three hundred thousand people about the town, from every part of Southeastern Europe and Asia. Hither report Armenians, Persians, and the sleek, fat merchants of Bokhara and Taohkend. with traders from distant China and

India.

There are three thousand booths, or small stores, for rental, each constructed as a show room (or goods, with quarters for the proprietor in the rear.' Goods valued, at not less than three hundred millions of rubles are brought here for sale or traffic—silks, cottons, teas, furs, hides, knives, swords, daggers and weapons of all kinds, sacred images, cosily robes, musical Instruments. and a thousand trinkets and utensils peculiar to mid-Asian countries. aa well as great quantities of grain, oil and salt. But the strangest most remarkable feature of the fair Is the people themselves, In the odd dregs of so many different- couatries and tribes — Tartars. Kirghiz, "Buriats. Georgian?, beside?. Russian* and Cossacks. Turks and Syrians. It la said that fifty different languages and dialects may be

concerned tones, "something must have happened here!” Apprehension had already fallen upon me—I hardly knew.why. It was that terrible odor. I think Then I fumbled for a little shelf, where I remembered to have seen a match case. But before I found it we heard a cry the hall from which w« had Just ne. a terrible, beast-ilke cry which sent cold thrills to our hearts. Aunt Ella sprang to my side. "Meryr she whispered. “Was that a man

r a bgast?’

A frightful scuffle now begun Just outside the door of the hall, and we clung to each other in panic, uncertain what to do. Then & door on the other side of the room burst suddenly open, and a muttering person—whether man or woman we could not distinguish— rushed blindly through the room and out of It by the hall door, evidently without perceiving us. The hubbub in the hall increased momentarily. Instinctively my aunt and I fled at that door. We had no Idea whet* It led; but we knew that something had gone terribly wrong

with our hotel.

The door led into another dark passage, which we now explored In nervous haste, bolding out our hands to feel our way. and stepping cautiously for fear of pitfall*. "If only It leads to some side door out.” my aunt whispered, "we win go to the Hotel de Prague, where we set at to go when we came." Immediately we came to a door which opened outward, but not Into the street.' We appeared to be In a -kind of courtyard, with high. dark, enclosing walla, But we could see the stars. What teemed to be great boxes, or pen*, stood round the side*, and there was the same awful odor. "Oh. where are we, SelmaT' my aunt exclaimed,'and then, done at hand, something stirred and sniffed, horribly. Not far away. too. a big dog began

barking savagely.

It was more alarming'than anything I had ever experienced. "Bet us go hack!? I whispered. “We shall be

My aunt Indfcd. had already, re/treated Into the dark passage, and for

ere at the fair here from AugnsY-tS-to August J!7. fifteen days, and on the afternoon of the 17th my annt and I accompanied an excursion of Bokharan merchants op the river on a steamboat which they bad chartered for the occasion. The. Bokharans are very corpulent peoplST apparently much addicted to the pleasures of the table— they appeared to be fating all the time we were an the water, even when the steamer tgn aground on a mud-bar and was in some Utile danger. Aunt 'EUa. who had learned many words of their

conversation was of food and drink. In consequence of thedelay aground our excursion boat did not gat back to Kishnl until long aftePVark. The wharves and streets are baiDy lighted at night. But what made trouble for Asat Ella mra aayaelf that evening was’that the steamer did not land at the same wharf from which we bad started. ■, *- Hnderstandtsg so little of the language we did not learn thp change, bat supposed that we were back at the 'wharf we had left. Prom that we had oar bearings well In

My aunt Miss KUa Engrader. and I I some minutes we stood there and list-

ened. It wonld be quite impossible to depict In word* the sense of dread which had corns over ns. for we did not know where we were, and could not understand how we had come Into

uch a place.

Then something even mere alarming occurred. Behind ua. in the direction from which we had come, a door opened with a sodden bang, and sounds of a terrible scuffle were borne along the passage. Something/ either man or beast, was • apparently being dragged, struggling, along the floor with an accompaniment of yell*, shouta and imprecations: Aunt Ella was trembling violently: I drew her forth into the courtyard again, for the tumult in the passage as coming toward us. We hurried across the dark, open space, pearing about tor some avenue f escape to the street' The dog was still baying furiously. What the stir and sniffing in the pens round the yard signified we could only conjecture fearfully. Presently we to an archway, and stole into the

hold of aur dress skirts, and to avoid thorn wo entered hastily and closed the door. Tbs place was pitch dark, evidently a storeroom of some sort. It was close and ituffy, smelling of attar of rooee, and with my first attempt to move about I stumbled upon great bales of what appeared to be woolen goods. Similar goods also hung along the walla and on lines stretched a crow the room: My aunt had annk wearily to a seat on one 0f the bales. “At least we are safe here for the moment.” she said. "If only we can keep the door faatr’ ■ I Could but feel very apprehensive, however, for those dogs were clamoring Jnat outside the door, and where there are goods there must be proprietors. But nothing further happened tor a long time. We arranged at comfortable seats aa possible by pulling the soft bales about, and we now de-’ termlned to stay there for the night and trust to good fortune In the morning to extricate ourselves from the coll In which we were Involved. Aunt Ella has always declared, that the did not close her eyey. during the night bat I am afraid that this Is selfdeluflon on her part. We were both very tired from the long trip on the river and this more recent excitement of losing onr hotel. Strange and alarming as was our situation. I am quite sure that I fell asleep myself after the dogs grew more quiet. I have a remembrance, too, of bearing my aunt breatlilng with great regularity. The odor of attar was very soporific. I waked after a time, and when recollection had come pondered our situation /earnestly, and decided on a course of action at daylight. In reality day bad already dawned, ^oon I heard the low voices of men without. "Don't you think, aunt, that it will be as well for us to speak out and discover ourselves to themT” I whispered. "It would be very awkward to be found hiding here.” Aunt Ella was fearful at to the result. but while we argued the matter in tremulous whispers the door was suddenly pushed open. It was already light, and two m tall men. whom we knew to be Armenians by their dress, entered, bnt stopped abort In astonishment when they saw at rise, blinking, from our improvised couches on the •oft bales. What those two merchants thought i*y never be known. They teemed astounded. Nor did my hurried efforts to explain in French the nature and • of onr Intrusion do much to make the situation clearer to them. They stared, and toon one of them snapped hie fingers Impatiently, saying something to the other, which I have little doubt might have been .translated aa, "Beyond doubt these are thieves. We must can the police.” The dogs. too. were barking noisily again, and for the moment I was quite at a loos. But now Aunt Ella rose to the emergency. Pointing to ourselves, she called out the name of our little hotel, Ivan-Vellkl, and of our landlady, Darla Knavra. The, two Armenians looked tmfelgnedly pusaled; nor was their suspicion very surprising, for now that the light of morning streamed In. I saw that the •room contained great quantities of beautiful cashmere shawls, some in ■lea and some hanging ten deep on

ne*.

Meanwhile, acting on my aunt’s inspiration. I had contrived to ask the Armenians. 6a Russian, to send tor Darla Knavra at the Hotel Ivan-Vel-iki, end this they at last did. A rather unpleasant half hour followed. during which we were evidently under surveillance. Then our good Cossack widow and landlady made her appearance, and gathered ua both to her broad bosom at qnce. The kind soul had been sending over all the town for ua; and had. been much concerned for our safety. Her effusive. Identification and explanation proved qnlte sufficient. The

7ffS VULVIT. A SCHOLARLY SUNDAY SERMON BY TBE REV. ALBER1 JONES LORD.

Brooklyn, N. Y.-Tbe B«v. Albert Jones Vord, pastor of the First Congregations! Church, Meriden, Connpreached In Plymouth-Church Sunday morning In exchange with the assistant pastor, the 'Rev. Willard P. Harmon. Mr. I/ord had a good audience, and preach‘d an excellent sermon. His subject was "The Sacrament of Service." The text was from Isaiah xlkC: “They helped every one his neighbor, and every one said to hi* brother. ’Be of good courage.’" Mr. Lord said: We have been pasting rapidly In the last half century from an Individualistic to a social type of civilisation. Paul’s words were never more true than to-day, when he *ald, "None of us liveth to himself, and no mat dleth to himself." All the forces and factors pertaining to human life—mechanical, social and rellglop»—have been moving to such a degree- toward each other that the twentieth century can aay ibat the one word which will **rre her best for a watchword Is “Together; togetb-

•r.”

In the Industrial world the concentration of force* Is most manifest. Dr. J*siah Strong call* to mind how that fifty years ago It wau the age of homespun. Families could meet all the needs of tbeir households, spinning, weaving and the making of garments. The fields about the home supplied the inmates with the necessities of life. Then it was that the main force was the brawny arm. But to-day manufacture has forsaken'the home for the mill and the ractory, and stealn and electricity are the regnant forces. Division of labor has taken the place of the tingle hand. Then one man made many things; now many men make thing. But as Industrially, so socially we becoming more intimately related. A half century ago there were communities, many but small in number and limlted.ln advantages, yet complete in, themselves. Cltisens seldom went beyond the borders of tbeir respective towns. But gradually those communities have been grouped into towns, and the towns developed Into cities and the, cities into greater cities. Whereai fathers were independent of all the world, we are more or less dependent on the whole world. This made Robert Louis Stevenson exclaim, “It ts really disheartening bow we depend on other people in this life.” This complex life has given rise to a great many social and fraternal organisations. Men have banded themselves together for mutual helpfulness. Fathers, working by the week and for small wages, having little one* depending upon them, have" serious thoughts when they realise that sickness may be lying in wait for them and abort hours may be tbeir lot. When the bead of the family la sick and unable to work, the Income ceases, but expenses Increase. To meet all these possibilities the various benevolent sooetlea and fraternal organisations have come into existence. It is every man’s duty to consider not only the present demands of the family. but its future welfare. It ta a crime for a father to spend hit money freehanded at UTc bar, or in hospitality at the club, or squander It in sports, when he has not, either In the savings bank or In Insurance, made secure the future welfare of his family. It ta every man’s duty toandow the future with as good a livelihood for his family as lies in tlx-power. >- We heartily' sympathize with fraternities and societies in their sick benefits and care of widows and fatherless children. They have a mission in society. But. however commendable they may be. they must not take the plsce of the two divine Institutions—the home and the church. There ta but one place- where God has set up the altar of domestic affection, where conjugal -relations are sanctified by the presence of children, and that ta the home; and there ta but one institution which the Son of God ordained while upon earth, and that U the Christian church. Fraternal organizations should be supplements. but never attempt to be substitutes foivlhe borne or the church. re cannot say that because life

On the other hand, we are inclined to say that the cl oner men’s relations are the greater the friction and the more difficult to hare every event work good to every person This kind of life, 1 repeat, la far better but more difficult to live in all its relations.

THE SUNDAY school more so than the foxes and ibe birds; Paul was poor, having few or m possessions but "tbe cloak and . the parchment;’’ Peter was poor. ••Silver and gold have I none. - ’ Poverty Is no disgrace, unless it be tbe dregs of a wasted life. Wherever ihere is honored poverty there shoo id be generous benevolence

To pity distress is but human; To relieve it is God ’ike. When JFtus was upon earth He said that every benefaction which was bestowed upon one of jhe least of the brethren In a loving spirit was acceptable unto Him. Inasmuch Is a wend which’ It full of significance to all charity worker*. "AH the beautiful sentiments in tbe world will weigh less than a single lovely action.” Many of the fraternal organizations might tench ns who are member.* of the Church lessons In charity. A short Jlme since 1 received In my mail by mistake a postal sent by one member of a fraternal organization to another, asking him to call and assist a sick brother. How often does our fellowship prompt us to do this? Yet the Bible says. "Do good unto all men. especially unto those who are of the household of fattb." No gift of. means or might will, ever fall to be thrice blest. Let the largest end of your generosity be beneath the surface If it chances so to be; let tbe number of your benefaction* be a secret If you will, but, whether secret or public, crowd your life with endless benefactions and countlea* mercies. Edwin Markham has a beautiful poem entitled "Inasmuch." He pictures a watchman. Ivan by name, on Moscow's castled height guarding tbe citadel. The driving-snow was heaping itself against the citadel wall when a half bare beggar man tottered past. Tbe watchman ran and threw bis own coat around tbe half frozen beggar, but that very night died himself from ex-

posure:

My son, you gave to Me last Bnt there Is another way to again offer the sacrament'of service than by giving food to eat and raiment to put on: It is suggested by tbe last' half of the text: "And every one said to hi* brother, ’Be of good courage.' ” There are men and women In this world who need an encouraging word more than they need bread. Man does not live by bread alone. There arc men on our streets who have been unfortunate In their f.lvt*. They are pessimistic and discouraged aud.dlstrust all tbe world. There are others who are In some vocation which does not measure up^to their ambition, and they need to have some one tap them on the shoulder and say. "Be of good courage.” There are a good many men who become discouraged before they become drunkard*. There are others who lose their hope before they lore their good name. There are many who need to be met at tbe door of the factory at the close of the day’s work and led beyond the saloon to the doors of tbeir homes, that they may be saved to themselves and to tbeir families. They need words of strength. Their wills are weak and must be reinforced. They need to be Inoculated with courage, and the power to re slat evil: Very few of us realize bow much help there Is in a handshake when given In a brotherly way. One of Wei-, lington’a officers when commanded to go on tome perilous duty, lingered a moment, aa If afraid, and then said: "Let me have one clasp of year allconquering hand before I go. and then I can do 1L’" Tbe majority of tbe needy ones of earth ask not for onr money, but for our sympathy, and our sympathy we ought to give. "Some one ought to do it, but vfby should I?” should be turned Into the sacrificial sentiment, "Some one ought to do It. so why not I?” Frederick Douglass appreciated the uplift which Lincoln always gave him when they met, for Douglass said: “He is the only man who does not remind me that I am a negro.” Te say to a weak brother with all tbe meaning In your soul, "Be of good courage,” will often make him a moral giant and suffer him to rise above his difficulties and fata shortcomings. There are very few persons who do not need -words of encouragement, who do not need to have some one say to them, "Be of good courage.” No one has ever been able to speak this word with such pathos as Jesus, and no hearts have ever been lifted into (be presence of their best reives as thore to whom He spoke. When the woman was brought to Him taken In her sin. It was "Go sin no more.” When others wonld condemn the woman who sfole her way Into the house of 81 man (he leper to anoint Jesus’ feet He said: “She-bath done what she could.* When Mary and Martha were mourning the’loss of a brother It Has. "Thy brother shall rise again." When tbe. thief on the cross threw himself upon Jesus' compassion, the Master said, "To-day thou shall be next Me In Partdise.”

Nous follows another vision to Inspire hope, and faith in the exile*, to lead them to prepare by 4 right life for tbeir return, attracted tiy the blessings yet to conn' upon tbe land <xintra*ted with Umlr sad condition .a exile. "The bouse " The temple The waters." etc Tb« natural fmt on which this conception, rests la this, that there wst a fountain connected with tbe temple hill, tl«i waters of which fell Into the valley east of the city, and made their way. toward tbe sea. This was the only, natural fountain stream flowing from Jerusalem. It was a small stream, whoae soft Sowing waters were already’regarded as a-symbol of the silent and unobtrusive Influence Of tbe divine presence In Israel (Isa. fe d]. Tbe waters of this stream flowed eastward. but they were too scanty to have any appreciable effect on the fertility, of the region through which they passed. "Soutl/side of tbe altar " The stream flowed cot only from the temple, but apparently from the holy of . holies, and flowed close by tbe altar of sacrifice. 2. "Ran out." etc. Tbl* stream is n symbol of the mlraculont transformation which the land of Canaon Is to undergo in order to flf It for the habitation. of Jehovah’s ransomed people. The waters did not come to the temple. os IT Intended for the purpose of washing tbe sacrifices, butrthej Issued" from It, and proceeded to" refresh and fertilize other places. 8. 4. “The mam” Tbe angel described In chapter'40£.

In tbe full nu of Christ by the Holy Ghost, vision may be applied to the growth of a believer In the grace and knowledge of God; or to the, discoveries a peat tent believer receives of the mercy of God; In his salvation; it la also a type of tl*e progress of Christianity. 5. "Waters to swim In." Tbe small rill, starting from the temple, Is a type of the goi--pri as it spreads and deepens smong all the nations of. the earth, transforming the desert Into a Garden of Eden. . 11. The power and efficacy of the' gospel (va. 6-L2). 7. “Many trees.”, So long as the beholder, the prophet.: followed the measurer, the angel, be saw nothing of the trees on tbe bank. Tbe looking forward gave Esekiel theknowledge of tbe progressive fnlnees and depth of the waters: not until be looks back does he come to know thd • fertilising enlivening effect of these waters. 8. “Into the desert" The Arabs h, the valley of the Jordan and the Dead Bea extending south to the Bed Sea. Tbe country between Jerusalem and tbe Dead Bea ta tbe most desolate and inhospitable tract in tbe whole conn-, try. “Into the ■ea." The Dead Bea, the waters of which are so Impregnated with various salts that no fish or animal can live In them. “Waters shall be healed.” Restored to the proper condition, made healthful. This is typical of the work of tbe Holy Spirit. 9.. “Everything—shall live." Life and salvation shall continually accompany the preaching of the gospel; the death of sin being removed, the life of righteousnesn shall be brought in. “Multitude of flab." The Dead Sea has become a sea of life. Out of death there arises, by the grace of God. a rich life. The sea la a symbol of the world; accordingly men appear as the living creature* in the see. as the fishes. Hitherto they were only dead fishes, unspiritual, unsaved men. 10. In this-verse weafe told that tbe fishers shall stand from one end of the. sea ta the other and catch many fish.: 11. The miry places and marshes shall' not be healed, bnt shall be given to! salt. Those not reached by the healing waters of the gospel through tbeir! •loth and earthly-mindedness are given’ over to their own bitterness and bar- M rennets. The gospel Is tbe only healing medicine for the disorders of one. fallen nature, and they who will not receive It In the love of it remain incurable and are abandoned to final rain. The salt comes into consideration here not as seasoning, but as tbe foe of fertility, life and prosperity. The thought la this: Only those who bar themselves against the gradon* stream of. divine lore and are unwilling to regain health are henceforth to be given over to tbe curse, continuing to exist as monuments thereof. Around .tbe sea of death there Ungers on a death unto death. 12. . “Trees for meat." Salvation.must present Itself fisr tbe terribly sick heathen world, above all. In tbe fora* of saving grace. Besides the nourish-’ lug fruits, therefore, are named also, the healing leaves. Tbe figure of the fishes refers to the extent, the great-! ness of the community; this figure of, the tree* to its nature. In so far as the divine grace transforms It Into truly, living members, who tbssnselves bear;
