CENTENARY. The Outgoing and Incoming Pastors. Fn.rewell Sermon of Rev. Dr. C. H, Fowler. First Discourse of Rev. John 0. Peck; Late of Springfleld, Mass, DR, FOWLER. Tho Rev, Oharles II. Fowlor, who hins for somo timo beon miniater of tho Contennry Mothodist Chureh, and who for many yoars hasboon pastor of churchos of that denomination in this city, yesterdny morning preached his farowell sormon . at tho Contenary Church. Bince his election to the Prosidonoy of the collogo st Evanstonho has been filling the pulplt, but the arrival of the now pastor, tho Rov. Mr. Peck, has rolioved him from his double dutios, < The pubject of Dr. Fowlor's discourse was tho 4 Barley Loaves and Fishes,” He spoke in sub- etahico as follows : Tivelvo years ngo ho oponed his work with that toxt." Partly for that reason, holnd solocted it 88 the basis of his romarks, or a hook on 'which to hang what ho would say. Tho problom of the Christion pastorato was thoroein statod : A hun gry multitude, little food, and yot all to bo fed. They wore sot to do what scomed to bo imponsi- bilities. Yot the Mastor eald to take s little ‘handftull of broad and fish, and walk among tho people, and seo what would come of it. Tho first was, what wero theso among ®0 many ? The apostles found all things wgainst them, old governments, &d rolig- jond, the jealousy of old prerogative, tho prido of old schools, mobs, massos, dangors, end dungoons, Tho carly ovangolist wont out empiy-handod and with unsandaled feot. No vronder he eald, ‘“What arc thoso among 80 many?" Thon othor difficultios camo, which ro- main to this dny. Old systems had failed. Poér humanity, fallon among thioves, was dylng io mortal agony, and ‘even Propheoy wont by, baroly looking at hor in her moces- sity. The Christian pastorate was eont out, after the fashion vt tho Good Bamnri- tan. It was an offico no man sbkould take upon himself, though somo dry sticks had pushod themsolves into whiat was catled tho oflic, but the Church discovered and got rid of thom. The office was hedged in by responsibilitics and 1ot to bo lightly taken, Characters, souls, and destinies camo ‘into tho pastor's bands, and on thim rested the responsibility of making or mar- sing thom. Tho call to thnt work and oflice was poxt reforred to. Tho Church held mon were specially called by the Holy BSpirit, and be belleved it must bo a specially ocalled ofice. All holpful and good worka woro called of God. Bo euch a work a8 a pastorato could not bo excepted from tho general ordor of calls. There was and was nol a spocial sgouy about that call. 'There was whon thoro was special re- sistance, a8 in all cases of fighting against con- viction. If a man eaid ho would be damned bo- fore ho would ileld to conviction, ho was apt to got o smoll of brimstone. If ho yielded gladly and joyfully, it was still o call, " No man wag called to bo o finmblnr or_saloon-keeper, unless, £8 was most likoly, tho call camo from tho Devil. Tho pastorate was the special caro of the Lord, i peculiar and choson intorest, whon a man pul at this divinest calling, it had special favors and ehowed the Lard thought him qualified. A truo Christian admitted ho was the Lord, and thon ho had to dacido where his talents could be best inyested and that was o Divioo call to that thing. Btill, in tho weakness of human judgment, men mistook their gifts, and therofore, the Ohurch roquired corroboration. If n.man had gifts, oth- ers could oo thom. The Church lmH an abso- lute right to say Who should prosch to her snd fo eny that a mon's gifts nnd graces were not adequate. When sho said more, 8ho stopped outeido of hor right and otdor. S8he should not say & man should not preach the Gos- Enl to anybody else, for thon sho was talking to ear heraolf talk. 1f man wanted to foll othors of God, and could find any one to hoar him, ho bad a Divino flght to tell "his story, and that was preaching the Jospol, Thero wore human' ar- nn‘gnmnuls called ordinations, but ho saw very little force in them, axchb to spocizlly sot thom on one side. No ordination had any wondorful supernatural forco. Thore was approprintoncss in such o human machine, but it must not bo carriod too far. + The work of the pastorate was fooding tho muititudo and there was tho diffieulty. It wasa compound work—human weakness and the di- | vine command. Bomchow tho work must bo done, but it was possible only by the union of foith and works. There was room for both. Religious lifo was a strange compound, from ono oint looking all human, from nuotherall divine. 0w it was omotional, and now intellectual, It bad o fleld for overy faculty, and a foast for overy famine. Honce it " required both foith and work. There was room for the forro: eiuce it was a rovelation, and not o doluction. From obzoryatidn of the evil rosults of certain actions one deduced nnatural religion, but that was not enough. 'T'hero was no renson- ing by which to establish any fact. Tho Gospel was a fact, and 8o was tho Crozs Calvary n fact, possibly an overlasting, inflnite ono. Tho powor of the Gospel to eavo wusa fact, incnpn“zlo of demonstration by rensoning, to bo detorminod only by testimony. ‘Ilioro the Gospel tood borely upon the fact that Jesus was crucified, snd rosted sololy upon that, Whoever recoived that must do on faith, and mo salvation was good which did not rest on faith. Balvation was an _infinite ?ilt, for otornal Life was boundless and incapablo of mensurement. "The problem camo to most of them in child- hood, and th:{ comprehonded it as littlo then as now. Eternal lifo must bo beyond all bounds, end conld not come- of work iwhich was moas- ured and finite, and falling short of the infinite something God gave thom.’ Boing a gift, it must bo received with faith in tho statemont of the Giver. Etornal lifo was & fact not to be moas- ured by their mathomatics. It was to bo taken €olely on faith. + This salvation camo also in tho naturo of a ypardon for sins committed, Nature went on in & mechanical rouud, and she had no remedial agencies for offenses. But by Divine suthority came the new nnnouncement that thero could bo pardon aftor sin, and that thoy could bo brought up out of thoir trouble. ~Their guilt could bo wiped out after thoy had sinuod, If it bo a sal- vation and not a mero paying tho dobts nature l)\lt on them—if it be meroy and God's favor, t must como in such a shapo as to bo of avail aftor tho ain, othorwiso it wos usoloss. If in God's plan 'it must come to inspite thom when 'eick it did so como, and henco it weae & revolation, making thus Inrge room for faith, up to the last hour; & man could fight tho spirit and dely his God, and when on tho vergo of death, if Lo would, cast a belioving look at hesvon and bo eaved, and a ealvation that would not do that, was not worth the preaching nor worth tho having, Tho denger of persistont sin was not of wearyin out the Diving E\.um“’ but that the man wnuls ot content with sin, and forget to turn to Ged. 0, morcy could come evon ou the vorge of the billows of holl, ~ Binco it was enlvation, it must como by faith, Thero was nothing but tho eimple doctrine of snlvation by faith. Ho had thus seon a dying sinner saved in a second. 8o with faith, ali tlfingfl wero possible and thoy could feed the multitudoes. Thero was also largo room for works which could not be separatod from faith. To divide them would be like trying to live by exbaling or inhaling air, If 5 man simply inhaled, ho fiall exploded. If he moraly gavo out, ho finnlly col- lapsed into & poor littlo philosopher, and even less. Indin had been trying for yoars with works snd philosophy, but nothing elso, Btill thoro waa large room’ for works, No Christian could bo mado ugofnl without giving Lim training in work, without bringing him in contact with actu- ality, any more than a soldler could be roared in tho nursery, or an eaglo in a cave. Both faith and works muat be profossed by tho Ohrig- tian, If ho hnd not the latter, ho was a porpon- dicular corpso, waiting only to be buried. Char- acter was not & gitt, but an acquisition, They must hove activily, and thoy must go down among tho multitude whon biddon. Faith and works must unito, to insure succoss and to malke » sccossful work divine. All pooples who un- dertaok to work out salvation, yot rojocting God's word, worked out thoir own'ruln, "It wns » necourary result whon the two great ele- ments were eevered. CGod could not send angols to save wouls, or it would be done, If it was with Him, the fault was thore, but ovorything domonstrafed that God trusted mon, and that they must go down, bolieving, with the loaves and flshes, and distribute them, Vast regions woro still plunged in darkness, bo caugo God trusted the divino pastorato which hed not gono when biddon, IL was not God'a fanlt that any soul was in sin ; if Ho could have ig way thero would not be an unsaved sonl, and “cellont and well-managed voico. every vast prison-hougo in thounivorso wonld bo throiwn opon. But human resistonco held the bar, and divinity muat wait. Tho groat worl of tuu?flug tho multitudos hnd been trusted to the pastorato, Thoro was power enough to doit, it thoy choso to uao it, ns was shown by tho Mastor on the day of tho miracle. It was dono through the divino bonodiction, for which mml{ of tho oongrogn- tion nover askod, and which_they often recoived witliout asking for it. Tho Disolplos had loarned from tho Mnstor that soorot of power, Thoro was no Iack of it in the_ univorso, Thoy went slong s {f tho Lord grudged them thoso forcos. In fact, 1o _yoarnod to linvo thom usg them. GQod hnd inflnito sonrces of powor, which ho ox- omplifiod in overy way. Thoro was no Iack of power. Tho story of Bsmson had boon rond for _ conturles, but moro power than hie showed was within tho reach of all. - God ealdl to them to look up and Ile would givo thom bielp. Thore was graco for overy man, ond aa ho had faith, so it was to him. “Dioro was boundloss and Infinito lovo, which was ouo of the loaves q}von thom, looking noithor st birthplnco or golor, but simply seoking to ind admieaion that it might heal; hot an- carly-ox- hausted rivulot, but o groat sen, forever full, Thon thorowna zeal, anothor of tho loavos, which hod an infinite eapnoity for work, and of which nonrly all quostions wero sattled. ‘Thence sprang gront fortunos and gront churchos, Anothor of tho loaves which ho would mention was braina. . The Church must do {ts work winoly and colonlatingly. It must lay its foundations deep and strong. Ability to manage and Handlo was ono of tho loayos given tho Church. Tho nenror thoy got to sharp buginess principlos, act- ing thoughtfully and with a plnn, tho nearor thidy got to groat mucoossos, and thelr full spirite ual strongth, Ifchurch intorests woro handlod s business intorosts woro, using onch mau nc- cording to his gifts, they would flnd tho advan- tago in inoronsed gaing,” That loaf would multi- ply in their hands, Of tho two flshos, one wes tho soclal lifo. Thoy wero bidden to go and 'uso all resourcoes as flxof wont, Thoir gocial power must bo usod 8 woll as anything elso. 1t bocamo an lmmonsa force, which tho Church -had baroly developed, How te\v‘].msunfi could gay that others lind mot them, and brought thom into thoe Church, Crocds woro 4 skolotons, Lub they must have somo- thlnfi olso to mako tho body.” They must goup nnd down socloty casting their nots, Tho other flah was obarity, as taken in its ordinary eenso, 08 whon thoy said they would ‘give ~ overy man his chanco “snd lob im run, Churches hiad wasted much powar by falling afoul of mon, DBut that was gono, or waa going, and was roplaced by a botter and broader view, Thoy would beliove and lot othors bo- love, and not claim tho oxclusivo posaossion of foith, Power came to tho Church from that charity, whicl said it had but one only enomy. o did not propogo to hrve any particular fare- well. Evanston was not intIndia or China, and, in time, was nearer than the homes of many. He should probably como to soo thom as offon as thoy wanted bim _to, on he came, o dozon onrs 0go, ho folt groon, and doubiloss was. o had no oxperfenco. Ho came in and thoy ox- sminod him, Somo were proont who had ques- tioned him nbout doctrines, otc. Tho Inymon aldo questioned him, and wantod to Jmow “what ho would do if & colored man wanted to join tho church. ‘Thore was nothing in the books abont that, bo replied, and if the color was merely on the outside, and not in the soul, ho shonld let himin, So they said they would lot tho speaker in. That week tho Conferounce eont him to his lace. Tho woman \as present st whoso house Eu ‘mado his firat pastoral call. Ho knocked at the door, and when ho bad told her who he was, sho rn&}lad that sho was just mad . to think o _Conferonco would send such o mean littlo boy as that to them. That was the first one. Sho told tho exact truth, Bufln all tho yoars she had been a good friend to him. The noxt call was at a family, nlso prosent. Ho did not know what to do, and was frightoned. Ho wont in, and tho kindnoss and gontloness he ‘mot confounded him. Ho snt down on the arm of asofs and jumped :H, thinking some ono kicked him. But men had como an holsud him with kindly words, and nugfi.‘naflona and hints against possiblo disnstor. 'Lhoso had beon glad- somo years, though anxious and full of care, It was & gladsomo congrogation in tho old church, though a small one. Al tho older officers woro still living. The company was still the Church militant, o wonderod how they had been so spared, There were truo, gonuino hearts who had given him encouragoment, and if tho lonves bad multiplied, the greator part of it was duo to tho congrogation, Tho littlo gathering of fifty or sixty had bocomo 1,200, ‘The church was nos, The growth scemed marvellous, When he looked at tho yeara of work, it socmed as if thoy had been "togothor longor than the fami- 1y of Methuselah. The sccroct of their succoss 1o beliovnd lay in tho charity they had hed for thomsolyes and their pastor andthe deef ecar thoy had turned to all onmitics. That wos the secrot for the future with tho now pastor, who ‘would entor upon tho discharge of his dutios among them, and who he_hoped would prove as acceplablo to them as ho hiad been. REV.JOHNE. PECK, Yostordny evening the Rov. John E. Peck, Iate of Springfield, Mass., dolivored his first sormon at tho Centonary Church, to which ho was rocontly called. This new-comer to Chicago is & tall, dork-baired and fine-looking man, witha commanding forchond, and an ex- He wna intro- ducod by Dr. Fowler. Hoesid: In tho Flowory Kingdom s young man had an unseen bride sclected for him. On tho wodding-day ho was permitted to lift the voil, and thencamo tho peculiar feelings tho firat sight inspired, Io, too, came to receive lis bride, andto look upon herfaco, andif thoy folt as much plonsure in that intoronange of glancos a8 he did, thoy wore happy. Ho intended to preach mo intro- ductory sormons, a8 his prodecossor did no faro- woll one. Porsons laying down rulos in intro- ductory sermone wore apt to bronk:thom ina weok, A Chicago prenoher had said in Brooklyn that the measure of a prophot's success dopond- ©od on the sympathy ho was received with. Crit- 1oism was natural, but ho hioped thoy would sus- pend it for six woels and liston to the sormons. His toxt was taken from Solomon’s Song, and roferred to tho Christian Church. The most boautiful passages of Luman speech gemmed tho Biblo; thore was no need to hunt for gems in Dickens and Thacleray whon thero was an El Dorado of them in tho Bible? And what degeription was mora glumug that than of tho Bride of the church as Bolomon gave Lier looking: upon'the world, terriblo as an army with baunors. Joln had-also seen her, but in hor royal stato, throned and erowned. Such wora the pootic im- orsonations of the Church. No sect menopo- izod tho Bride of tho Lamb. ~All douomina- tiona of real Christians merged their distinctions into one, and bocamo the Universal Church of Christ as in tho spoctrum all colors were blended into one. All whoue henrts woro guest-chambers for Christ united to composo that Churoh, Dwollers in all climes,men and women in allcon- ditions of lifo, learnod and unlearned, mado up tho snoramental host of Christ. To-night, whilo ‘meditating on that Churech, they must cohecion- tiously monsure tholr conformity to tho standard of tho ideal Church mombor. Over the world sin and death brooded till God oponed the daor of covenant with thia peoplo, ovon covering the world with beams of hopo. Adam saw a faint gleam in the East, and Noah saw_ & ruddior glow. ‘The prophot saw a deoper radiance, and at last wo burst in splondor on ho plains of Bethlehom, Higher still rose tho gates in Christ's assurance of tho aid of tho Holy Ghost to the Church, Man was & roligions boing, and demanded light, The Liopo of the world was in the Church, which gava th Biblo, Through tho Church, God's otornal purposes riponed. The golden age of the world was_in her custody. Without hor tho world would relapso into barbarlam. The Clurch, sanotifying all other institutions, could alono aid the world, The Church pionoered the advanco—the clyili- gation, Sho was the light of tho world, disel- pating the moral darknoss of man, 'Tho only gonuine light camo from tho Bible, Without it, Jaan_ groped blindly b midday. Without it, scholars and philosophors were at ses, Al phil- osophy had taught of the immortality of tho soul was & Pnrhnpu. Cluigtianity taught o cortainty, Obristians had no donbts, Error could not stand the light. The empire of idelatry was crumbling, Superstition and infidelity hated tho light of yoligion which dostroyed thelr dyuastios aud schomos, sud “was dostine to overthrow tho pillars of thoir groatest tomples and tholr hopes of gain. Henco tho offorts to drive the Liiblo from the schools, logalizo brothols, fail to ob- gorve the Sabbatly, and put in a more naturalism in placo of Ohrist{auity, Thoy know if the lat~ tor succooded \mlvcrnllv, it would grind thom to dust, and they did woll to hato it. 'hey could not stand tho light with which Olristianity was flooding the world. What was nooded was more light, If mon's morals wore wrong, pour in the light of odly example, T'he work of Ohrintinug was to illumine, Christianity pointod out tho true God, The way was dark in the world, and mon wero gofug to ruin, dying in the city without knowlodgo of sina forgivon, Moro light was ncodod. Henvon ovon was dimly seon in the fogs, The Christians should irlm tholr Iamps, for moro light waa roquired, Morning dispollod the fonvs and terrors in- spired by night, Moro sin and orime would bo committed to night than in all tho soven days of tho weok, Wicked mon hated Clurchand Bible sinco thoy- interfored with (holr wickednesa, Men could mnot. sin with tho same impunity, whon church-bolls sounded in thelr cars, Whon mon's oyos wera tlme darkonod, théy do- sired not tho light. It hnad como, and thoy liad facultics for.sooing, but wonll not use thom. Tho spirit convicted, but thoy would not ylold. Thoy would not road tuo Biblo ot go to church lest thoy Lo converted. Ohrist callad to them, but they Tofusod to como. What could bo dono with them ? _ 8till pour into tho world tho ht of gonuino Christian ploty. Mon out of 1i; Oli‘xrlut woro not_ronlly ab rost, and thelr sonls | woro often tossed with' nnxlety, Ihantomn of disnator stood in. tholr pathwny. Thore were alarming _forobodings ~thoy could not es- eapo. Thero waa no ponco for n soul at war with God. Binners must not Lo augry with tho Church, for it wos not hor fault they woro not ot rost. It was tho sonso of their guilt toward God, Men wero not at reat, n thoy geomed to Lo, in tho hours of thoir do- lirinm? and wandering from God. Tho soul was & wandoring-star, drehing on to dostruction, Tho rojootod truth huunted thom, They mlfillt rontrainy prayor and forsako tho Ohurch, but speetral voicos would whispor them. Ono infldel anid to anothor tho happincss of his lifo was marred by tho fenr the Bible was truo. Ile would bo happy if ho kuow death 'was an oternal sloop. That confossed uncortainty wna ono of tho most torriblo, unan- swerablo argumeonts against Awch 8 lifo of sin. If tho truth madoe men feol uncom- fortablo, it was the mon who should bo changod, and no ong should complain of the wifilstor vWho prenched it. . “hose foars wore the motions of tho soul to find ront in God, Yiold to them and they would Do at poace.

Tho thunder of 1t rovorborated through tho caverns of his soul. Ho could endure death, but not that ondless horenftor. Thoro must bo torriblo, drondful anxioty in tho soul of such a man, whon he heard tho swelling of Jordan, but to whom all was dark, as his hont loft tho shore, It muat bo an awful night of uncertainty, without Ohrist. But tho Christlan Ohurch lived in the light, ovon in tho shadow of doath. Tho Christisn paseod through thoro in light, and his pnthway was light. 4 aI‘hn Church was ag fairas tho moon, the quoon of tho sky, Bchools, aclences, ompircs, woro surpnesed by the dazzling eplondor rof the Ohurch, the acknowledged aovnrcl%n of them all. Tn tho oxt, tho moon was tho emblom of purity, T'ho Ohurch went out among sin and crimo, and carriod comfort to the viotims, Bho_ ataunched the wounds and ministered to the aching hearta of tho human family. All homes for sufforing humanity were born of hor. Heathon lands had no hospitsls for human be- inga in suffering. Whatover was truo, honest, just, and pure, whatever - wns best in man's nchievements, was due to_the Church, Such things wero hor handmaids, Blot out tho Clireh and: £ macbivery of universnl benovolenco came o & stop, It dorived its ‘motivo power from Christianity.

Avoided, g Alsp, low Fneilities for Reaching the Parks May Bo Afforded It is nmattor of froquent wondermont that o city poswossed of so mnny imposing structuros a8 adorn the now Chicago, should have but ona raflrond dopot worthy of lho namo. Theso ob- sorvations are chiefly indulged in by porsons not counceted with tho rallway companios. Thoy ook at tho millions of net enrnings which each of tho shabbily furnished roads annually exhib- it, and think o Tittle moro_publio spisit and losy parsimony woutd supply the lack. Trom tho other interoated side, tho mattor looks differont- ly. Soveral weoks of twenty-dogreo below zoro wonthor convinced tho railway managors that o plontiful supply of steel rails aro far .moro os- gontial to economy and profit than magnifi- cont passongor dopots, Exporience proved it posaiblo to got along with a slanty for a station- houso nnd not suflor material loss, whilo a fow bars of ordinary iron in track during frosty wenthor may accldontally swallow up the profits of o month or more, Therefore, the companies doom it policy to keep thow passongoers waiting, And tho prospect now is, that thoy will have to ‘wait o long timo beforo a rival of the Rock Island dopot will bo ready to nccommodate thom. ‘Whon the firo loft the companies alike deso- Iato, o epnem of united action was manifosted. ‘Thoy folt unequal to tho burden of erecting in- dopondent dopots, Common calamity brought thom closer togothor thon thoy aro likely to como again, A grand union dopot was pro- jocted. All tho compnnies favored the idea, Dbut they eplit upon the location, Tho ki nois Contral would not chaugo. Thoy stuck to tho Inke {ront, and wantod tho othor companies to unito in asking tho Dburned-out city for throo blocks in~addition to those the Courts had intordictod from appropri- ation, and upon the pix blocks, when scoured, to unitodly orect thio lorgost dopot in tho world. Thia tho othors doclined to do, but invited the Contral poo;%; lninin in n location mlong-sido tho river. 0 Michigan Contral and O, B. & Q. supportod tho Inke front proposition, but fa- vorod o unlon anywhoro if it could bo had, The Illinois Contral contract, however, hold the Jo; yonds fast, and, soeing no complote union coul o consummated, tho Liokoe Bhore and Rock Iul- and Companies qu&nuly withdrow, and detor- minod to robnild on thoir old sito, whilo tho othors aro still costing about. To aocuro tho mocossary grounds and oroot thoreon capacious depota would roquire an out. lay of fully £10,000,000. That round sum is not now within tho easy roach of the corporations, Invontive minds have, thoreforo,originateds plan moro fensiblo. Thoy[)ro oso to go round the difilculty in a very practical way. 1iach of tho companics Lave had all the rcal estato oxperi- enco they con afford. Thoir project now is to utilize presont facilitics in & union railway, ox- tending from tho northorn to the southorn lim- its of tho city ina circular form, skirling the systom of parks their ontiro atrotch and, Dbo- tieon its torminal points, crossing every rail- way ontering Chicngo. 1t i clearly evidont that beyond the imposing appearanco & splondid dopot prosonts, it imparts 1o speclal advantages that cannot bo othorwise suppliod. Rosidenta of (ho city, on gotting off tho incoming traius, do not stop to admire or condomn tho depot. Thoir‘one desira is to rench lLomo or busincss as quickly o8 pos- giblo. A vor{ plain station houso would meet all thoir roquiremgnts, It s the passenger deatined to pointa boyond tho city, who wants o landsomo waiting-room and ‘a #pacious depot whoro ho can chango cars without confusion, This treveling necessity o belt rail- way will conveniently supply. The projectors of tho onterprisc aro keon, uctive, railroad mon. Their plan is to enlist tho honily co-operation of every railway company having o line entering Chicngo, and Tun thio bolt railway on tho princi- lo thint Bo successfully controls tho Union Stocl Yeards. Tt ‘ovory company takos n fair boro in the entorpriso, the incalculablo oxpense of ro- curing right of way will be averted.” Commenc- ing at an undetermined point north of avd nonr Lingoln Parl, theline would run westward across tho Milwauloe Division of tho Chicngo & North- westorn Railway to an intorsection with the Wis- consgin Division of the samo road, up which it would run to Irving Parlc; thon run_southward over tho “cut-off” track to tho Galons Di- vision, past the proposed shops enstward on the Kinzio street track, alongside Conlral Park, to the South Branch track, on Roclowoll strest, which it would follow southward past Douglag Pk ond the House of Corrcction, through Brighton on tho Great Eastorn Company's ling to the Btock Yards track, which would Iead through to tho Inko shore, whore the Iliinols Central could be used through the two South Parks to Onkwood, or further south if desivablo. For the route describod tho only right of way not socurod and now in use is the strip from the lake shoro north of Lincoln Park west to the Wiaconsin Divigion of the Northwestorn Rail- Way. 4 The advantages of such n railrond are numer-~ ous. It is quite Emuticnblc, and o union depob is not. It could bo just as oasily and well con- duoted a8 aro tho Stock Yards, In fact, that or- anization, being o compound roprosontation of ho sovoral railroad companies, could oporato and maonsge tho belt railway to tho satis- faction of oll concorned. It would obviato the prosent exponsive and uncertnain transfor of pns- songers and freight. Bong mannged in tho in- torest of the sevoral railronds, n_sulliciont num- bor of traing would bs mn_to make connoction with oyery outgoing throngh pnsuuufinr {rain on tho diffcrent roads. At the junction of ench " road, pussongors, oxprees packages, and freight, destinod for that particular rond, could bo fraus: forred without inconvouience to tho public or ad- ditional oxpongo to tho companies. It would greatly facilitate business. DBut tho principal ad- vantage would inure to passengers, especinlly thoso unacoustomed to travoling. ¥or iustanco, on tho arrival of tho Alichigan Contral train, or that of any othor road, at the junetion with the Deolt railway, pnunungul‘u destinod boyond tlo cit; would changa cars, faka tha transit_railway, and, on reaching the crosaing of the Rock Island, Chieago, Burlington & Quinoy, North: wostorn; or tho particulnr road thoy wish to take, the train men would announce the name of tho crosg-lino, and tho transfor bo made without trouble to tho most timld passengor. By this menns the extortions of hack-drivers and tho discomforts of omnibus transfor would bo eu- tiroly averted. At each junction a comfortablo ntation-houe would bo provided, in which tho passengers could wait until thelr train camo along as woll a8 they could in a mammoth union depot. Magnificent immonsity only incroasos the loneliness of tho unacqualnted travelers, In Paris suck o scheme has proved succossful ; and, as theroe is scarcoly a probability of a union depat being orocted, the noxt hest substituto would be an acceptable improvoment upon the prosent disjointed arrangemonts, A suflicient number of additional” tracke could be Inid alongside the oxisting ones to insure all tho facilities ~ tho holt railway would roquiro, Each of the companies would concode the uso of thoir traoks upon mod- erato terms, and the ontire railway could bo equipped and put in operation for loss money tlian 1t would cost to oreot one dopot for ouy two Ohicago railronds, Tho project presents othor and immediate ad- vautagos, Ada pooplo, wo are conatantly bo- coming moro glven to recroation. ‘ho adventof 80 lnrgo & forcign population, with whom holi- day onjoymont 18 o nocessity of lifo, hu oxcited 8 growing tendenoy townrds plousuro, Tho complotion of our nm‘gnmeuut systom of parks will develop thislboralinolination.

Tho industrious claseos have not the means to prooure special conveysuces, and, othorwise, with presont facilities, tho parks could not bo reached.
