The grounds of the World's Fair present an enlivening scene. It is apparently the world in epitome. The buildings are singularly magnificent in design and have all the appearance of architectural beauty pertaining to structures which are built with reference to permanence. Indeed they appear to be as permanent as other buildings.
In a short time, however, they will be torn down, and the present scenes of life and activity and gaiety will be transformed into scenes of comparative desolation. From this we may learn the lesson of the temporal and fleeting character of all material building. It will pass away and all will be desolate.
