EPISCOPAL sUNDAY-sCHOOLs.
Mass-Meetfng of Officers and Teach
ers ut ST, james TO-Night.

The Episcopal Sunday schools OF this
city will hold an interesting meeting this
evening al o'clock in st. James church.
The Sunday-School Association OF Hem
rico Parish, which comprises all the
Episcopal Sunday schools in and near
Richmond, have been at work for some
weeks preparing for a meeting OF all the
officers and teachers before opening the
fall work. They have secured the Rev.
Herman L. Duhring of Philadelphia,
who is said to be genius In this line Of
work, TO conduct the meeting and make
an address. He will be assisted by the
Rev. Llewellyn Coley, also Of PhiIadel-
phia, and a member OF the American
Sunday-School Association.
Much importance is attached to this
meeting at this time by reason of the
fact that 1t Immediately precedes the
Sundayschool institute, which will be
held in the city of Washington next Mon
day in connection with the Triennial Con-
yention OF the Episcopal Church now In
session there. Mr.. Duhring will be a big
factor in the meeting in Washington. and
IL is safe TO say that those who attend
the service at st. James church tonight
will get many practical hints on teaching.
A question box-an always interesting
feature-will be opened and the ques-
tons answered by Mr.. Duhring.

here for the purpose of discussing the
situation in the various congressional dis
tricts with Democratic leaders. Mr.. Mar
tiE does not care TO make any statement
concerning the outlook for Democratic
success next month, but 1t is known that
he considers the situation very satisfac-
tory.
1t Is rather a singular coincidence that
on both OF his visits 10 this city in the
past month Senator Martin should have
come here at the same time that General
Lee was here. and IL is still more singu-
lar, too, that without any intention Of SO
