The Rash Act of Mrs. Jones, Mrs. Flora A. Jones, who. conducts an undertaking establishment at No. 818 H street northeast, swallowed a quantity of laudanum last night, it is stated, with sul- eldal intent. Before taking the dose she prepared a handsome black casket, and had it placed in the reception room of her estab- lishment, and this, it is believed, she in- tended for herself. Dr. Cole, a neighbor, was summoned a few minutes after the drug was taken, and he admi an antidote. For fully three hours Mrs. Jones was kept walking, and at midnight the doc- tor pronounced her out of danger. Before purchasing the laudanum the woman wrote “S\ire Jones is the widow of Thomas 0. we Jones, who died about six months ago.

BIBLE tNSTRUCTION Arguments Advanced Today i Favor of the Object, THOUGHTFUL, CONVINCING PAPERS o Prominent Churchmen Discuss the Teaching of Scriptures. THEMES TOUCHED UPON The necessity of a larger and better use of the Scriptures, an elimination to a cer- tain degree of the controversies regarding the inspiration, authorship, authority and errancy, and the advancement of the Bible as an educational factor, to be rightly studied so that {ts potent influence may be better extended over society, are some of the objects which are heing promoted and furthered by the national biblical congress, now in session at Foundry M. E, Church, corner 14th and G streets northwest. Par- ticularly interesting this morning was the session of the pastors’ conference, held in the lecture room of the church and presided over by Rev. Drs. J. C. Nicholson of Balti- more and C. L. Work of Cincinnatl, The program arranged for the meeting was not closely followed, but the views presented were none the less important on that ac- count. Secular and Religious Instruction. The most important paper presented was that of Dr. Charles A. Young, editor of the Christian Century of Chicago, who is now engaged in securing the introduction of Bible teaching as a regular branch in uni- versities, and at present at the University of Virginia in this behalf. His subject was “Bible Teaching at State Universities,” and in part he said: “Thomas Jefferson, so far as I know, originated the idea of co-ordinating secular and religious instruction at the seats of state universities. I first learned of Mr. Jefferson's views from Dr. 8S. 8. Laws, while he was chancellor of the University of Missourl. As our worthy United States commissioner, Dr. W. T. Harris, once re- marked to me, ‘Dr. Laws has been extra- ordinary in the number of great ideas he has advocated.’ Dr. Laws discovered Edt- son, the wizard of electricity. He also dis- covered Jefferson's views in regard to the importance of religious instruction to co- ordinate instruction in language and lit- erature, science and art. While a pastor in Ann Arbor, Mich., I found a very sym- pathetic friend in Dr. James B, Angell to encourage me in my attempt to make the ideal education which Thomas Jefferson and Dr. Li had advocated real. Through of a noble Christian woman, ‘A. Burgess of Indianapolis, and the nm woman's board of missions, of which she is the honored president, I have been enabled to introduce systematic Bible study among the students of several of our most important state universities, The Plan of the Work. “Thoroughly committed to the American principle of the separation of church and state, we do notlask the state universities to contribute of their funds to support the Bible teaching. The funds to carry on this are contributed by individuals; the done angelical scholars of arious denomin: s entirely voluntary, as the study on the part of the students is also voluntary. It is a com- ndable fact, hold of the B minds of our best that last year mearly $s volumes for »oKs upon the ated young men, 200 students i and aby given them for such Work toward their de- grees. The Character of the Student. “The underlying principle in thts work is very simple. The st&ite has assumed the function of public edueation, but the state cannot teach religion. Now, the student in the state university is a religious being, just as well us the student in our denomi- ional college. The university student athletics for his physical development and Bible teaching for his spiritual devel- opment as well as language and literature, science and art for his intellectual deve!op- ment. Culture is not conversion. The train- ing of the Intellect without the conversion of the heart has a tendency, at least, to make skeptics and agnestics out of young men. Assistance of Christian Women. “Last year $30,000 was contributed by Chris- tlan women for the teaching of the Bible to the students of the University of Mich- igan. Twenty-five thousand dollars of this money went into a permanent endowment fund. This year, through the support of Christian women chiefly, we are raising a fund of $25,000 to have the Bible taught, devoid of all denominational bias, to the students of the University of Virginia. The special lecturers to the students for this year are Dr. A. Coke Smith of Norfolk, Va., and Dr. W. W. Moore of Union The- ological Seminary, Richmond, Va. Jefferson’s Plea for Bible Teaching. “Strange as it may seem to this audience, who think of Mr. Jefferson as indifferent to religion, I have the pleasure of telling you that if you will favor us with a visit to the University of Virginla we will show you Thomas Jefferson's earnest p!ea in hig own handwriting for the teaching of the Bible to the students of the University of Vir- ginia. I am aware that skepticism, and even agnosticism, is very prevalent in many of our state universities. This I regret ex- ceedingly, but while such men as Noah K. Davis, in the department of philosoph: Frances Smith, in the department of phys- ies; Col. Peters, in the department of J atin, and Dr. Charles W. Kent, in the depart- ment of literature, have a volce in the councils of the University of Virginia it will stand for the highest religious culture of her students as well as their intellectual training and physical development. This, of course, with the understanding that the Bible teaching shall be unsectarian and supported by the gifts of individual Chris- tians and not by the state.” The Bible in Colleges. Rev. Dr. Wm. M. Foster, jr., president of the Rust University, at Holly Springs, Migs., presented a paper along the same line, his subject being “The College as an Agency for Biblical Instruction.” In the course of his remarks, Dr. Foster said: “College life and the college curriculum have greatly changed in the past twenty years. It has been the transition from the unutilitarian and introspective to the utili- tarian and observant methods. The simple and concrete is now the beginning point, and the proces: toward abstraction and generalities, instead of the reverse order. The successful cbilege of today accepts as its duty the training of students to see things ‘as they are,’ and to live a real life im_a real world. “Any other college man {s at a discount among practical men: Keen-sighted busi- ness men have rejected the young man edu- cated under the old system, because he comes forth with bis introspective habit and stands with“his Back to the real world. They have not been satisfied to simply re- fuse him a place their employ, but have been very particular o give their reasons for this. One ofthem has stated this objec- tion thus: ‘No, the cdilege man is not will- ing to begin at the bettom. He looks down on all business gs dull and unattractive.’ Training for Practical Ends. “The new education calls to our colleges men who know the world. They have spe- clalized tn sociology, in commerce and in national questions, They have studied rail- Toads, applied soiences, manufactyring, mining, the sctence of government and Gplomatic relations among the nations of the world. Nature has changed the ques- tion of education from the of mind for its own pleasure, to training for ractical ends and the highest good of all, herefore we have a new estimate put on and inf this Poverty of Nerves, Restless, Irritable, Nervous, Involuntary Twitching of the Muscles, Sleepless Nights, Easily Worried, Depressed in Mind, Full of Aches and Pains. Cured by Dr. Miles’ Nervine. Nerves that jump at every sudden noise; nerves that keep you awake at might; nerves that make your back ache, your heart palpitate and your temples throb; nerves tbat are tired, weak, irrt- table and restless; these are the poverty-stricken, exhausted, starving sort of nerves that make all the trouble. Poverty of nerves destroys your appetite, de- Tenges your digestion, disturbs your heart and weakens your body. Poverty of nerves depresses your spirits, makes you fretful, careworn, worried, melancholy and despondent. To brighten your spirits, rest your mind and revive your flagging energies, the hungry nerves must be fed, built up and strengthened; and there is nothing in the world that will do that so quickly and so surely as Dr, Miles’ Nervine. It is a brain and nerve food and tonic of the highest order. it “Before I heard of Dr. Miles’ Nervine I was ill all the time from neuralgia and nervousness. I could not sleep at night and my bones ached so I could hardly endure the pain. I was very thin and weak, and whenever I would try to work I would have to sit down and cry. I was abont ready to ive up and die when a paper was put under my door describing Dr. Miles’ Nervine and what it was good for. I took two bottles of that great nerve food and one box of Dr. Miles’ Nerve and Liver Pills, and since then I rest well at night and do not get nervous as I used to. I am very grateful for the benefit I have received and would advise others to give Dr. Miles’ Remedies a trial.”? MRS. WILL SNOKE, Shippensburg, Pa. “I was troubled with severe nervousness, and after retiring at night would be very restless and unable to sleep. I would have nervous twitcbings all over my body which were very distressing, and T became weak and rus down from lack of sleep and rest.

The twelve disciples were not molded in the same form, but de- veloped into individual men; they were constant companions, yet were not merged into a single type of men. The Advantages of the Bible. “In the Bible, then, we get the new meth- ods which we seek, and with them we get the great Personality. “The life, the truth, the way’ and His ideals. I mean: that the study of the Bible in our colleges is for learning and to bring to the students the very broadest ideas of our civilization, to show them whence has sprung the great body of our intelligence, and that this sacred book breathed the breath of lives into science, literature, legislation and our social and political institutions. This Bible has been the great educator of man, and is being more and more recognized as such. Our colleges place it in the curriculum to- day, not that they are seeking a book of re- ligion merely, but for a deeper and wider reason. They know the Bible Is the great- ‘st book the world has, and that it has pread Civilization among the nations. It would be in the courses to be studied if for no other reason than that it is a book of learning, of taste and genius, of history and eloquence. In the realm of ancient history it is first among authorities. The opening sentence 1s ‘In the beginning,’ going back of all other histories. Among the class! there is none of the high rank of the Bible. The most exacting critics will say that ft is a standard of excellence. As in the church it is a text book of religion, so in the world of letters it Is first among authorities. The Rible is the best hook of ethics, both for the e and denominational college. And fur- nishes the most exact moral order for both state and society.” Apathy of Churches. Dr. J. E. Gilbert, the secretary of the American Society of Rellgious Education, under whose auspices the congress 1s being held, made a strong plea for the more thor- ough teaching of th? Bible in the Sunday schools. The churches, he declared, were apathetic over the condition which exists in these important branches of their system. Sunday schools neglected everywhere sen- sible Scripture teaching. The questions were what to teach, how to teach and by whom it should be taught. On the second the churches had broken down completely. He announced that arrangements were being made to hold a meeting in connection with the approaching convention of the Na- tional Educational Association at Charies- ton, S. C., when the educators there as- sembled will be conferred with over the general adoption of biblical instruction. He paid high tribute to Mr. Harris, United States commissioner of education, for his zealous efforts in this direction. In the course of his remarks to accentu- ate the neglect of the Bible in an instruc- tive way, Dr. Gilbert said it required two days for him to get the faculty of a de- nominational college in New York together to consider the subject. When they did meet the president of the college said: “We have the Bible read every morning in the chapel, and, for the Lord’s sake, what more do you want?” The session concluded at 11:45 o'clock, when the delegates went to the White House to pay their respects to President McKinley. Conference of Mothers. A mothers’ conference was also held in the auditorium of the church this morning, at which means were considered to secure the best teaching of the Bible to children. Mrs. J. Ellen Foster read a lengthy pape: on “Home, the Nursery of Child Piety Piety, she said, was a reverent knowledge of God, and the child can be made to know God in the home by a knowledge of the Scriptures and by a daily illustration of the Christian graces. Mrs. Isabella Macdonald Alden of Phila- delphia, who writes ugder the nom de plume of Pansy, read a paper on “The Religion of Childhood.” which was largely a theological dissertation. An interesting contribution was made by Mrs. Frances A. Ford, also of Philadelphia, upon “Church Membership in Childhood.” Mrs. Ford declared children had a right to church membership, and that parents had no right to interfere between their children and the Savior. Faith was the foundation for all church membership, and faith was simple to possess, because it was trust in God's promis It was easy, she said, for children of tender age to be trained to have faith in God, because the sentiment was inherent in them, as evidenced by their faith in their parents. She used the word training advisedly, she said, because Chris- tian training was infinitely better than Christian teaching. The Bible and the Chareb. The evening session yesterday was de- voted to an address by Bishop J. W. of the United Brethren Church of Da Ohio, whose subject was, “The Bibl the Welfare of the Church.
