" i —E TEACHERS pee | Second Day's Session of the Distriot. A LARGE AND INTERESTED AUDIENCE Addresses by Well-Known~ and Prominent ‘Workers: Tae SOME REPORTS MADE Sunday School Union. - ~~ The second day's session of the sixtzenth annual convention of the District Sunday School Union, which-began last evening at the First Congregational Church, corner of 10th and Gstreets northwest, was opened in the lecture room of “the church’ this morning shortly before 10 o'clock. The at- tendance was far in excess of what the officers of the convention expected, and nearly all those present had brought with them paper and pencil, so a3 to make notes, as they were last evening requested to do by Dr. Schauftier. A President P. H. Bristow occupied the cheir, and Mr. Jerome F. Johnson was sec- retary. Devetioral exercises were conducted by Rev. M. Ross Fishburn, the singing being led by Mr. B. W. Beebe. After remarks by Mr. Fishburn, prayer was offered by Rev. CH. Butler. . The annual report of the secretary, which was read by Mr. Johnson, was as- follows: “In view of the very full report as field worker and the fact that ‘the duties of sec- retary and field worker have been com- bined the past year, any extended report from the secretary is quite unnecessai “Article 3 of our constitutton says: ‘The affairs of the union shall be managed by an executive committee. This executive committee is composed of the officers of the union and fifteen additional members, all of whom shall. be elected by ballot at the annual convention. Tie’ executive commit- tee has had ten meetings since the. con- vention one year ago. It is a great pleas- ure to testify that theze meetings have in- variably been times of delightful Christian fellowship and conference, and that all matters of interest to our District Sunday school work have been transacted with the greatest unanimity. Evening Institutes. “In the early part of this year the execu- tive committee, through a subcommittee, proceeded to carry forward the plan in- augurated last year, of holding one-evenin® institutes in different quarters of the city and suburbs. At these meetings a variety of practical Sunday school topics would be discussed. We venture to hope that these meetings gave 4 stimulus to Sunday school work in many sections of the city where they had not hitherto been held. Many’ of our best-known Sunday school workers cheerfully gave their assistance, as did the pastors whenever called upon. This line of work for our District union might be profit- ably carried forward, beginning carly the comang year. It is emipgntly 4 practical method of Sunday schgo] work between conventions. “At the convention one. year go twelve delegates were elected to attend the cighth international convention in Boston, in June. In addition to the full delegation it is very gratifying to be. able ta note that there were in attendance a geodly number of in- terested Sunday school workers from the District. We only wish. still larger num- ber had been able to aitend, so full were the sessions of practicak suggestions and in- spiration. “The meeting at w your delegates made reports of the convention was held at the New York Avertte Church on the evening of October 2. =, “fhe executive committee deemed it wise to preserye the good things of our convention one year ago, and in order that those who so wishéd’mig®t have a copy of the full proceedings took stepsi.to.put the same in print. On, theueand copies of the verbatim report were published at an expense to the union of over $300. It was hoped that a large part 6f the cost ‘might be made up by the ’sale of coptes to the schools. Up to this time, however, less than one-fourth of the cost has ‘been made good. We have a large number on hand, and it is hoped that mary of these may be” disposed of at this convention. Are the Papers and addresses not as helpful and as applicable today as they were when de- Hivered? Sabbath School Parades. “Since the secretary's annual report one year ago thirty-five changes have taken place among the 150 superintendents. To keep our list with the addresses correct under these circumstances is not an casy matter. A number of inquiries have been made as to the advisability of having, some time in the spring, a general Sunday school parade and jubilee day, such as is neld an- nually in a number of the large cities, notably, Brooklyn, Pittsburg, Chicago, St. Louis and. Detroit. In the month of June a mammoth parade takes place to some ac cessible park; where they have’ musi speeches, sports and games of various with business houses closed, and proves a great object lesson in Sunday School progress. One of the great benefits arising is the mingling of Sunday school workers and children of different schools, all tend- ing to promote Christian unity as it does enthusiasm in the work. “Dear Sunday school workers, if it is true that each annual convention is mak- ing a step forward in our District Sunday school work, it must truly be -said that we have considerable progress yet to make before we come abreast of any of the states. We believe the conditions arc all favorable here i Washington for the best work. It was a long circuit from the home of President-elect McKintey, when he put in motion the other day ‘the wheels. of some extensive mills in ‘Tonawanda, N. Y. Our Helper and cur exceeding great. re. ward is much nearer to us and waits to bless.” Report of the Trensurer. The report of Dr. D. Perey Hickling, treasurer, which was submitted, stated that the receipts and expenditures for the year ended November 10 were as follows: Bal- anc on hand at last report, $51,985; balance ance on hand at last report, $51.98: balance from schools during the year, $176. from subscriptions to banquet, $68; donations to banquet, $460, loan for banquet, $100; sales of conventicn reports, $59; . from pledges for fied work, $10; check returned, $15; donation, 25 cents; collection at "93 convention, . $34.31; total receipts, $1,163.S4. Expenditures: On account of ‘35 conven- tion, $173.53; expenses of secretary's of- fice, $50.4H; expense: of ‘treasurer's office, $6. banquet, $3: puilishing proceed- ings’ of last convention, $259.60; Interna- tional Sunday Schcol Unfon, $81.06; field work expenses, $205; total,’$1,104.48, leaving a balance on hand of 389335. The chair announced thit Messrs. Chas. R. McBride of the Eas@tn Presbyterian and N. A. Robbins of York Avenue had been appointed assigt&nt secretaries of the convention. A Talk About: Ghildren. Rev. Dr. A. F. Schauffler of New York made an address on “fe Four Best Things.” In part, he sajg:'“The first thing that the good worker wants is the best material to work in. Onty that worker who 1s enthusiastic: in Nis, work makes a first-class worker. We tiave human nature in its very ‘goodest” state that is in its plastic state. y “These children we tea¢h are in their Plastic state, and are ‘easily molded for weal or woe. Every teacher ought to study child nature. Remember; teachers, that every ounce of praise is better than a pound of blame. lame is necessary. some: times, but if praise can be used, don’t use blame. Child rature shrinks from blame. “Child nature is creative It is easy for the child to. imagine what is not.” Dr. Schauftier iustrated this thought by means of diagrams on a blackboard. : “There 1s something charming about the way children: catth on. ‘These children of ours are smart. Teachers, do you have trouble with your class? Ff s0, may bé they know more than you do. May be they get up earlier than you do.” Dr. Schauffler next related a numberof ane ote Bo ccenstats this, most ‘of which produced great laughter.on of the audience. betas neDeE “I exalt,” he said, “this childhood of.ours. It is capable of great ‘hercism. Some of kinds. It turns out to be a general holiday David's greatest work was done before he Was twenty-one. You can appeal to the nature of the child with more effect than to those of maturer age. There isn’t any bet- ter material for development than that of the children we meet each Sunday. “We must not be repelled if the child asks many questions. There is not a com- petent teacher who cannot find some sort of an answer for every question that the pu- pil can ask. “Second. Every teacher loves good tools. The tool is the Bible. He or she has but one duty to perform, that is to put the Bible into the child, and it can be done if the teacher goes about it In the right way. “Third. We have the best helper. The Holy Spirit is my co-worker. Books will avail nothing if we do not have the co- operation of the Holy Spirit. I believe the Holy Spirit is always waiting for the teach- er to ask his accompaniment. “Fourth. We aim at the best results, It is a fine thing to develop the child to the fullest extent. It is the finest thing to see children shooting along morally and re- ligiously, and become perfect boys and girls in Christ Jesus.” Remarks by Mr. Reynolds. Mr. William Reynolds of Peoria, Ill., in- ternational field superintendent, spoke briefly, in part as follo “The greatest thing in the werld is teaching, because Jesus Christ was the great teacher. What did He teach? He taught His own word. If you teachers tl ink teaching the Word of God is a small thing, you had better move OL or move out, but at any rate get a move or you. Love your work, or you won't s1 ceed, and if you do not love it you had bet- ter quit and get cut.” .Mr. Reynolds cto: his remarks by relating in a thrilling man- her some scenes attending a visit of his io the Illinois penitentiary, during which a prisoner for twerty years received nis par- on. “A conference on the importance of teach- ers’ meetings wes conducted by Dr. Schauf- fer, who, among much else, said: “There are very few teachers who do not need the iz struction tLat can be received at a teach- ers’ meeting, provided the teacher who con- ducts it is a gcod one. Many teachers’ meetings are talked to death, and I am sorry to say that most of the Killing is done by preachers themselves. “There are some teachers who if they think you intend to ask them any ques- tions won't cone to the meeting. The ques- tion must be graded to the caliber of the teacher. “These meetirgs are more succesful if held in private houses, but if there are no hcuses large enough it is best to hold them in the lecture rcom. Teachers’ meetings must by all means be conference meetings. “I do not think that it is a wise thing to talk about vital doctrinal points in a teach- re meeting, bec: e it may lead to trou- je. it is very important to have the right person to lead the meeting. This need not of necessity be the superintendent; some- times a primary teacher can instruct the teachers’ meeting better than the superin- tcndent. Afternoon Sexston. At 12:80 a recess was taken, during which there was a reception to the delegates by the ladies of the church in the east parlor. Upon reassembling at 3 o'clock this after- noon Rev. Dr. J. J.

Some tume ago the Com- missioners ordered the road to make cer- tain improvements along the line of its tracks. The order was not heeded. A sec- ond command was issued, and still no heed was paid to the wishes of the Commis- sioners. Then, by virtue of the authority vested in them, they ordered the work done, and issued certificates of indebtedness against the company to pay for the work. It so happened that the work was done by the Washington Asphalt Block and Tile Company. After the certificates were is- sued the company attempted to collect them, but could do nothin Time and again the Commissioners have been ap- bealed to to take some action in this mat- ter, but up to witain a few days ago noth- ing could be accomphshed. Mr. Patrick Maloney, representing the Washington Asphalt Block and Tile Company, appeared before the Commissioners several days ago and urged that some definite steps be takefi looking to a cancellation of the debt. He suggested that the road be sold if it would not cancel its indebtedness, and recommended that the attorney for the District be asked to take the necessary steps. Upon this the Commissioners asked the attorney to inform them what steps were neccessary in the premises, and how they should go about the matter. It is understood the attorney formed the Commissioners that the law under which the certificates were issued gives them ample power to sell the effects of the road at public auction to satisfy ! the indebtcdness. He thinks the horses of the road should be first sold, and if the amcunt realized does not satisfy the in- debtedness, then the cars and other prop- erty of the railroad should be next sold. Up to this time the matter has not been finally considered by the board of Commis- sioners, although it is understood they are all desirous of settling the matter. ee Hotel Arrivals. Raleigh—W. A.
