THE ART OF TEACHING LIPTLE POLKS Interesting and Valuable Contribu- tions te the Subject. PROGRAM OF MEETINGS Calvary Baptist Sunday school house was well filled this mcrning when, at 10 o'clock, the second session of the District of Co- lumbia Sunday school convention was called to orter by President P. H. Bristow. The mornjng sessicn, which was the beginning of the actual work of the convention, was devoted to the reading of a number of papers upon subjects closely identified with the ad-_| vencement of Sunday school work. i Prior to the formal opening of the meet- ing several hymns wert sung, after which Rev. J. E. Fout asked a divine blessing upon the deliberations of the gathering. The hymn, “There {s Sunshine in My Heart,” was sung, after which there was a Bible reading by Rev. Charles L. Pate, who took for the subject of his discourse the eighth verse of the first chapter of the book of Acts. Ina careful and scholarly manner he expounded the fuller meanings of the text, adzpting his thoughts and suggestions par- ticularly to the gathering before him, made up almost entirely of teachers. ‘The principal subject for the discussion of the morning was “The Superintendent,” and four phases of this important element in the stecess of a Sunday school were discussed, by a scholar, by a teacher, by a pastor and by a superintendent. Hung upon the wall to the rear of the speaker’s desk were several placards giving Maj. C. H. Carringto: various statistics of the Sunday schools of the District. According to these, there are in the District 980 officers, 2,503 teachers, $1 scholars, making a grand total of 74 young and old who are occupied in branch of evangelical work. Dr. Phebe R. Norris of the Calvary Bap- tist Sunday school presented a few ideas of what the true superintendent should be from the point of view of the scholar. To the young schclar, she said, the su- perintendent {s a sort of an idealized char- acter to whom they look up with a consid- erable defree of reverence. In later life this changes into a more moderate, but still, whi me degree of respect. There is no doubt that much of the success of a nday school depends upon the personall- of its superintendent. If a Sunday school were without a leader and the choice of one devolved the speaker sai ities th as the . she would require four qual- t would go to make him a success head of such an institution. must be a man capable of making a suc- cess in any of business; he must he- leve that the study of the word of God is the must itaportant thing in the world; he must have an abiding faith in the ex- istence of something good in every human he must be indulgent ifn little but flim as a rock in things of greater import. What Superintendent Should Be. Mr. W. H. Pennell of the Congregational Sundey school, who spoke on the subject frcm the standpoint of the teacher, agreed with the first speaker in holding that a superintendent should be a successful bus- ivess man and a man of genuine executive ability. He should be a salaried officer of L. Mathews. | ch. a man of a high personal char- acter that would serve as a good model for schelars. He n not be expected to ch the lesson of the week to his teach- prs at their weekly meeting. That is a work that is better done by the minister.

He said that he thought such 2 man should be able to in- FS those under him with respect, able Next to inspire confidence ia his teachers to the pastor he should be the principal man in the church; he ought to be at the head of the laymen, and is in a sense a co-pastor. He should be a man of business ability, but with a high Christian charac- ter and developed soul power.

He is as the adjutant of a regi- ment. He should be a walking encyclopedia of all the facts and details connected with Jas. L. Ewin. the work of the school, and should keep close watch of all the scholars. He should be prompt and methodical in his habits. He should keep his records in a businesslike manner, so that upon his death his suc- cessor may take up the work where he leaves off. 3ut, above all, the oretary must remember that he is a spibordinate. He may have first rate ideas and may origi- pate admirable reforms, but he must not at- tempt to put them into effect. That is the province of the superintendent, and they must be inaugurated by him if at all. School Offerings. St. Paul's Lutheran’ Sindy school of this city enjoys the reputation of making tne argest contributions per capita of any Sun- scfool fn the country. For this reason it was particularly apropriate that the ad- Gress on “Schoel Offerings” this morning sheuld be presented by the superintendent of that school, Mr. D. Alden, He sald its effect upen t the motive 1s not a good one the offering fails of its best results. He favored steady ard consistent givirg. It is hetter to giv a smail sum regularly than large sum: infrequent intervals. Children should given the opportunity as far as possible of earning what they give. A small xiv average foots up a large total by the the year. But one must not expe dren to give fenerously if the adult mem- -rs of the church and the teac of the school are grudging givers. In con- jon Mr. Aiden presented a number of nportant suggestions for the advance- t of the work. The valuc of the home-class department as forcibly presented by Mr. Jerome F.

H. Lichliter. concluded his paper with a few valuable suggestions to those who contemplate or- garizing home departments. qo systema- tize the work and increase the clement of personal influence, the home department is divided into classes. A class may be form- ed of ore or more persons, reporting to the school through one visitor. Members cf a class may be studying In different grades and may never meet together for lesson study; but because they are under the care* of one permanent visitor, they form a cla: The number in a class must be determined by the ability of the visitor to give all the time required for faithful visitation and oversight. Few visitors can profitably take the care of more than twelve. Members whose homes are so distant that they can- not be reached by personal visitation may be formed into correspondence classes and pleced in charge of pzvsons who will reg- ularly communicate with them by mail. Home Classes. The first step in the work of the home de- partment is to organize home classes. This should be done by a canvass by which every person in the parish or town who js not a Sunday school attendant shall be solicited to join a home class or attend the main school. Incidentally this canvass can touch upon the matter of church attendance where the way seems open, though care should be taken not to offend. The enrollment of members should be fol- lowed by regular visitation and supervision to provide them with lesson helps and re- port blanks and to receive reports and offer- ings. These calls should be made by the visitors immediately after the last Sunday of each quarter. The reports when received should be carefully. scanned by the visitor with reference to seeing whether the work s been faithfully performed and whether the church attendance has been regular. Ii there has been any falling off in either particular the visitor should ascertain the vhether by sickne: absence or The visitors should not Ives to’ routine duties, but onal Christian work with each visiting each one as often as a be necessary to accomplish the desired re- sults. The visitors should always urge those who can to attend the regular services cf the church and Sunday school, esteeming it a great point gained when ene can be tra is- ferred from the home department to the main department of the school. Gatherings of the members for united study, prayer or social i: tercourse are always helpful. The home department day, when all mem- bers are urged to attend the main school, should be a regular feature at least ence a year, Easter and Christmas are also special failu confine thém should do pe member, Lucius D.

Peloubet of Boston on the prepara- tion of the Superintendents’ Review. The closing prayer was delivered by Rev. Dr. Sunderland. During the midday recess Miss Annie S. Harlow held a conference with primary teachers. Future Work. The program for the afternoon and even- ing sessions of the convention ts as fol- low: 3:15, prayer and praise service, Mr.George W.

The convention started out under most glorious auspices last evening with a b'g mass meeting at the First Congregational Church. Sixty Sumday schools were repre- sented, and the congregation filled the big church to the doors. A pleasant feature of the occasion was the presence of the Moody Choir, which made the evening bright with sacred music, and, under the leadership of Mr. Percy S. Foster, opened the session with a praise service of song. Rev. Dr. S. M. Newman, pastor of the church, asked a blessing upon the meet- ings, after which Mr. P. H. Bristow, presi- dent of the union, read his annual report, and announced the committees for the con- vention. ‘The principal address of the evening was deiivered by Rev. Charles S. Dodd of New Jersey, on the topic, “Some Natural Re- sources of Teaching Power.” Mr. B. F. Jacobs, president of the World's Sunday School Association, was to have read a pa- per on “The Field and the Work,” but he was prevented from coming to Washington and his place was taken by Rev. Dr. F. N. Peloubet of Boston, who spoke on the sub- ject, “With Our Faces Toward the Dawn.” A rising vote of thanks was tendered by the congregation to Mr. Foster and the choir, and to Rev. Dodd. This was follow- ed by the singing of “Throw Out the Life Line,” and the benediction by Rev. Dr. Thomas G. Addison. —_—_— LUTHERANS IN COUNCIL. Many Subjects of Interest to the Church Considered and Discussed. The annual convention of Lutherans in the district comprising Washington and Baltimore was held yesterday in the Church of the Reformation. Devotional exercises were conducted by Rev. Dr. W. H.

Butler of this city were appointed delegates to the Anti-Sa- loon League convention in December. Rev. A. Homrighaus read a paper en “The Encroachments of Secularism,” which provoked considerable discussion, and Rev. Dr. Dunbar of Baltimore made an address on “How Secularism Should Be Counter- acted.” The second subject for discussion was “Defects of Present Church Music,” and Rev. Dr. Domer, Rev. Charles Trowbridge and Rev. Mr. Ide spoke upon the question. At the afternoon session the subjects were “The Midweek Service” and “The Church and Charity,” which were quite freely discussed, especially the latter, by Rev. O. C. Roth, Prof. Tanner, Mr. J. L.

From the New York Tribune. A paragraph in this column a few days ago shcwed that some of the old steam- ships, scld from time to time, were em- ployed in various ways. “What becomes of the old American warships?” a _ cor- respondent asks. Some of them are “pres- ent or accounted for” by a recent official publication in Washington. It says that the schooner Active is now the merchant schooner <Adidie ‘Thatcher; the schooner Alena is the merchant schoon- er Australia; the steam sloop Penguin is the merchant schooner Floida; tke steam sloop Search is the sailing merchant sloop Grace Grummend; the schooner Falcon is the merchant schooner Frolia; the schoon- er Alcatraz is the merchant schooner Katie Mac; the steam vessel Reliance is the mer- chant schooner Leo, and the steam Quinnebaug is the sailing merchant er of the same name. ———_+e-+ Horses as Tramps. A gentleman who had occasion to drive from Coldwater to Hudson, Mich. the other day, noticed no ‘less than twenty horses roving along the highways. Two or three of the equines had tags tied around their necks, which read, “Take me, and I am yours.” The gentleman sald farmers could not realize more than $5 apiece for | their common work horses, and as it would cost $20 to winter them over, they had al- lowed the animals to become wanderers.

Arrangements for the Formal Instal- lation Ceremonies at Convention Hall Friday Evening. It is not often that an event of such im- portance as the inauguration of a presi- dent of a university takes place in this city, and for that reason among others move than usual interest is shown in the formal inauguration of Rev. Beniah Long- ley Whitman, D.D., as president of Co- lumbizn University, which is to take place next Friday evening ‘at 8 o'clock at Con- vention Hall. The great space of this hall will be none too extensive for the accom- modation of all those who wish to witness the exercises. The hall will be specially prepared for the occasion. A large plat- form will be erected in the center of the west side, and the seats for the audience will be arranged in a semicircle, so that a view of the stage can be had from all parts of the hall. A program worthy of the oc- casion has been arranged, and will be as follows: After music by the Marine Band, Rev. R. H. McKim, D.D., rector of the Church of the Ep:phany, will offer the in- vocation, Dr. 8. H. Greene, D.D., LL. D., pastor of Calvary Baptist Church, and vice president of the university, will deliver an dress, to be followed by music and an ad- dress by Rev. Augustus H. Strong, D.D., LL.

The Students to Be There.

HGNES The Nambers Are Ne the Book and Central Will Not Tell. From the Ne York World. There are some v aristocratic tele- phone owners in the city, but a study of the telephone directory supplied for the use of the general public does not reveal this fa This is done purposely. It Is no use getting mad if, when you ask for Mr, Croesus Vanderbilt's telephone number thi girl at the other end asks you if you don’t know it. When you say that you don’t know It, or try to fool her and say you did have it, but lost the memorandum, she will answer back: “We cannot give you Mr. Croesus Vanderbilt's hcuse unless you know the number.” The fact of it 1s the girl would be break- ing strict rules of the company tf she gave this Information. There are a good many millionaires and promincnt soctety fam- Mies who have telephones tn t rests Gences, but they are for private use. Only ds of the head of the house and & few other persons know the number. Thi mistress of the mansion leaves the number with her friends, and in exchange receives their numbers. She also leaves her number with the head of the hospital where rhe happens to be on the managing committee.- This exclusive system ts adopted tn order that outsiders cannot annoy Mr. Millionaire by ringing him up on the telephone. The men who have telephones, put into their places do so with the proviso that thelr names and telephone numbers shall not appear in the directory. —-s0-- Hall Caine, the English novelist, arrived in Phiiadeiphia from New York Friday morning, ani xfter spending the day sight seeing, was the guest of the Pen and Pens cil Club that night.
