SOWING The BIBLE SEED
District Sunday-SchOOl Convention
Discusses the Work.
Rev. Morris Ferguson's Address on
Methods of Teaching Miss Har-
low Talks of Primary Lessons.

The fifth session OF the annual conven' ion
OF the District OF Columbia Sunda y-school
Union was held in the body OF the First
Congregational Church, instead OF III the
social room, as heretofore.
large number OF delegates was pres
ent when President Bristow called the
meeting to order, shortly before l q o clock.
After devotional exercises by Rev. Sam
uel Doner, Of st. Paul's English Lutheran
Church, a prayer was offered up by Rev.
Stanley BillheiIncr, OF the West Washington
Lutheran Church.
First in the order Of business came the
report OF the committee on credentials.
The committee reported that there are
SS schools represented III the convention,
represented by sol delegates.
At this point President Bristow made a
few comments and congratulatory remarks
upon the work OF the union.
Next in order came the report OF the
committee on steamers and resorts for sun
day school Excursions. The committee rec
ommended that resolutions be adopted ex-
pressing the need of the community for an
excursion resort and an excursion boat on
the Potomac, free from the sale of-iiquors
The report also cXhorted the members to
foregU the pleasures of river excursions
rather than patrOniZe places where intoXi-
eating liquors are dispensed.
Motions to appoint delegates to the inter
national Sunday-schoOl convention, which
meets in the City OF Mexico next January
and TO the worlds convention OF Sunday
schools in London next June, were referred
10 the executive committee
Rev. Norris Ferguson, of New jersey the
speaker of the day, next delivered an ADJ
dress ON 'Serviceable Teaching" DR.. Fer
guson compared Sunda y-school teaching to
the making ofa garment. One al ways want
ed he said. the best material in a dress
Ins 60 N day n
best material is the Word of God
The dress, he remarked. required skill
in fashioning, and many a good piece Of
cloth has been ruined by unskillful and
careless hands. Lack of skill and special
training IN Sunday ay-schools also are re-
sponsible for many lamentabie failures to
attain good results. The need of adapta-
ton to occasions in lessons, just as in
clothes, was also touched upon by the
speaker.
The address concluded with an exhorta-
ton to teachers to use all their energies in
their work. to use their own ideas and to
strive for individuality in methods.
Following DR.. Ferguson Miss Annie Har-
low, who has become very favorabIy known
as a Sunday y-school worker gave all in
teresting talk upon Hints OH illustrating
Primary Lessons" By the aid of black
board and sand table the speaker Illus
trated the latest and most approved kin
dergarten methods as applied to Sunday
schools.
Following this the benedic;ion was pro-
nounced by Rev J. r. Van Bryck, and the
convention adjourned until 3 O'Clock this
afternoon.
At 11:45 O'Clock a meeting of the City
Primary Union was held in the yestry
rooms, and at noon there was a primary
teachers conference and lunch in the

THEY RIDICULE IT.
Many People Ridicule the Idea of an
Absolute Cure for Dyspepsia
and stomach Troubles.
Ridicu1e, However, Is Not Argu-
ment, and Facts Are Stub
born Things.

Stomach troubles are so common and in
many cases so obstinate to cure that people
are apt tolook with suspicionon any remedy
claiming to lie q radical, permanent cure
for dyspepsia and indigestion. Many such
pride themselves on their acutencSs in
never being lIumbugged, especially on med
icines.
This fear of being humbuggcd may be
carried too far; SO far, in fact, that many
persons suffer for years with weak diges-
ton rather than risk little time and
money in faithfully testing the claims OF
prepa ration so reliable and universally
used as Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets.
Now, Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are
vastly different in one important respect
from ordinary proprietary medicines for
the reason that they are not secret patent
medicine no secret is made OF their ingre-
dients but analysis shows them to contain
the natural digestive fernents, pure aseptic
pepsin, the digestive acids, Golden Seal,
bisnuth, hydrastis and nuN. They are not
cathartic, neither do they act powerfully
on any organ, but they cure indigestion on
the common sense plan OF digesting the
food eaten thoroughly before it has time
to ferment, sour and cause the mischief.
This is the only secret of their success.
Cathartic pills never have and never can
cure indigestion and stomach troubles be-
cause they act entirely upon the bowels,
whereas the whole trouble is really in the
stomach.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, taken after
meals, digest the food. That is all there is
to it. Food not digested or half digested
is poison, as it creates gas. acidity, head.
aches, papitation of the heart. loss of
flesh and appetite and many other troubles
which are often called by some other
name.
They are sold by druggists everywhere
at so cents per package, Address Stuart

Every pntlic fchool building IN the Dis

infected within the next few days by
order Of Health officer Woodward, and
as many Of the private schc OILS as viii
agree to do 80 VIII follow the example.
This action is taken, Dr.. WI edward saws,
as a precautiCn, not as al abi olute I;e-
cessity. School children are naturally
more exposed TO contagion, when any ex-
lists, and are proha bly, more resusceptible, than
others, and he CONSIDERS the situation to be
such a S to warrant the use Of a pI oper pre-
yentiye FEr
The disinfection process Will not he
with the use Of foImaldehyde, or other
similar remedy, but viii he accomplished
by method prescribed 10y DR.. Woodward
Arrangements have been already made
with the school authorities for the work
to be done, under pi piopcrsupervision, by the
janitors and sweepers and cleaners, and
it is probable that all the buildings Will
be subjected to the cleaning process be-
tween the present date and Monday next.
SOLUTION TO BE USED.
Health officer Woodward has issued mi
mute instructions to the school authorities
to be followed at each building. He pre-
scribes solution for use, which is coin
posed of one part corrosive subliInate and
two parts nuriatic acid Before applying
il to the walls all dirt and dust which can
be removed by sweeping and busting must
be gotten off the woodwork and other por-
tions OF the structure.
The floors and stairways, handr ails,
wainscoting, the lodges along the black
boards at top and bottom, doors and win
dows, all furniture. including the inside OF
desks, the apparatus, utensils, and the
tools and utensils OF laboratories, cook
ing schools and manual training schools, are
to be thoroughly gone over with cloth
moistened with the mixture. All air ducts
are also TO undergo the process.
DR.. Woodward specifies in his instruc-
tons exactly how the two acids are to be
mixed and applied, and directs that the
buildings shall be aired during and after
the process.
SITUATION NOT ALARMING.
A copy of the circular of Instructions has
been sent to each private school, about
nifty in number, With the request that
they be carried out. 1t is presumed all
viii comply.
There were but three additional cases
OF diphtheria reported this morning, aud
DR.. Woodward does not regard the situa-
tion rs any more serious than il has been
during the mcnth The number of cases
OF the contagion is above normal, but not
SO much so as to excite fears of an cpl
demic.
He regards the coming Gisinfcciion Of
the school houses as of Importance, for the
reason that all will be thoroughly clcaused
and purified, and the atnlospL tTe cleared,
which is an essential, whether cOntagiDn
be present or not.
