OUR INDEBTEDNESS ABROAD.

We have seen many statements as to
what the people of the United States
owe abroad, and we have noticed that
some statements place the interest on
our debts abroad equal to the excess of
our exports over imports, but none of
these give the amounts. To get at it
we will give figures. We take the year
1892, the last year for which we have
complete official figures, and we find

SUNDAY SCHOOL CONVENTION.



There is to be a meeting this evening at
Calvary Baptist Sunday school house of a
number Of committees, made up Of promi-
nent Sunday school people of the city. to
make arrangements for holding a conven-
ton early in the fall, probably the first or
second week in October. The plan is to
hold a convention. such as the different
states hold. during which the Sunday school
work in all its phases will be discussed.
1t is expected also to add some very popu-
lar features which will interest all the
workers as well as the young people and
children Of the District. 1t has been several
years since decided effort of this kind
has been made and some Of the Sunday
school men Of Washington feel that they
are behind the times in this kind Of work
f. There Is nothing, 1t is thought, which
creates more enthusiasm in a good cause
than the coming together in a convention
OF the workers in that cause, for the pur-
pose Of comparing notes and getting new
ideas.
1t is believed by the officers Of the Sunday
School Union, who are moving In this work
now, that such a convention as Is antici-
pated should be held. In addition to en-
listing the interest of prominent pastors
and laymen in the city in this movement
1t Is also the intention to secure the pres
ence and services of two or three men of
national prominence and influence. While
the details of such convention have not
yet Deen WORKED out, IL Is tne expectation
of those in charge to arouse such enthu-
sasm ON the part Of all the schools as will
make great special features a possibility
and the convention, in every respect, a
marked success. Most Of the committees
have already been appointed. and the list
will be completed this evening. The pre-
limfnary work Is begun now, so that there
may be ample time to make all arrange
ments as complete as possible. thus in
surfing for the Sunday schools Of Washing
ton q rich feast Of good things.
