The Coming World's Fair Blessing or Curse Sermon
Dr Talmage urges a 1892 World’s Fair in America as a Christian mission and national renewal. He praises Tyre’s ancient fairs, derides rival cities, and calls for unity, religious openness, evangelism, and industry to welcome diverse nations while avoiding pride and vice. He envisions Pentecostal religious impact and global education.

Bringing the Ark to Jerusalem in David's Reign
The lesson outlines Davids revival of worship after years of neglect. It notes the ark's move from Kirjath-jearim to Jerusalem, the misstep of using a cart and Uzzahs death, and Obed-edom's three months of blessing. David's renewed plan succeeds when Levites carry the ark on their shoulders, restoring religious duty.

Elk Jim and the wild elk back ride in Montana
A Montana corridor tale from 1868 tells how James Johnson rode a wild elk without saddle or bridle after a surprise ambush by a herd. He was hurled from the bucking animal, landed on its back, then released as the elk dashed into pines, leaving him bruised and vowful never to repeat the feat.
