To the Editor of The Journal. There appears to be a great deal of dissatisfaction and sorrow emanating from a majority of those who have been tnade the victims of a shameful fraud perpetrated upon them by men traveling through the country selling stoves known as the "H. C. S. R," upon which they place a positive guarantee that their fuel consumption will not exceed in cost, five dollars for an entire year. This, together with various other misrepresentations regarding excellent qualities enables them tu dispose of a large number of these worthless stoves at a handsome consideration that proves highly remunerative to its vender, the price paid being sixty-nine dollars, payable when ever convenience will permit-

After a successful conclusion of their lengthy and eulogistical argument in behalf of their stove a small slip of paper is presented to the purchaser to be signed, supposed to be an agreement or a guarantee, that unless the stove gave entire satisfaction or was found to be wanting in any of its good qualities as represented by its salesman, it would immediately upon receipt of notice be again taken into their possession without the slightest expense attached thereto. These agreements, however, after a close examination, proves to be promissory notes, due October 1.

The manner in which these sharks are known to conduct their business should be familiar to every one. It has been from this point of view that 1 have taken upon myself the duty of enlightening them before it is too late, although these few words of criticism and condemnation does not half-way meet the requirements of justice to those who depend on their fraudulent efforts for success but they will serve as warning to those who may be so unfortunate as to be confronted with these oily-tongued specimens of manhood who are Btriving to attain the zenith of perfection in the practice of fraud.

Teachers' Union.

PRIMARY UNIONS. WHAT ARK THEY? WHO NEEDS THEM? A prominent member of the Cleveland Primary and Intermediate Sunday School Teachers' Union gave a bit of testimony, not long since, as to the usefulness of the Union. A lady recently visited her primary department. At the close of the session she said, "Pardon me, but I feel constrained to tell vou the impression made upon my mind this afternoon. About a year ago I visited your school and on returning home, said to my husband, 'Mrs. Blank is an earnest teacher but she is not adapted to teaching little children. She speaks away above their heads They could not understand her and they were not interested. Now I am sure she haB mistaken her calling,' but to day I find everything so changed. Your little ones have understood you. You held their attention without difficulty wjile you instructed them. I must ask what has made this change?" The thankful teacher replied, "Tnere is but one answer to your question. The Primary Teachers' Union which I have been attending for the last few months, has, under God, done it."

Members of these Unions have been and are being greatly helped, and they feel themselves debtors to teachers who have not the knowledge of this aid, so they would tell what the Lord has done for them, that others might be moved to secure this blessing xor themselves.

What is a Primary Teachers' Union'.' It is an interdenominational organization for the purpose of furnishing a weekly exposition and illustration of the International Sunday

Fchool

les­

son, for the discussion of all phases of primary and intermediate work, such as management of schools, programs, supplemental lessons, home visitation, mothers' meetings, etc., and for christian fellowship and helpfulness.

These organizations are multiplying rapidly. The first union was organized in 1SS4. In 1893 there were thir-ty-two unions. The report at the Boston International Convention in June, 1890, showed one hundred and nine in the United States and Canada, which number by the first of January, 1897, had increased to one hundred and fifty. This agency for good has but just begun to extend its usefulness in Ohio, and instead of six unions, at the present writing, there ought to be thirty-six or more in this State.

Small numbers are no hindrance to the conducting of a successful union. Some of the most progressive unions are those in small towns where there are but six or eight primary teachers.

These organizations are for primary and intermediate teachers, leaders of junior societies, mothers of young children and young ladies who are thinking of teaching. We give below what friends have to say about this agency for good. TESTIMONIALS FROM DIFFERENT PRIMARY

UNIONS IN THE STATE.

The following testimonials from members of different Primary Unions in the State emphasize the help that can be derived from such organizations

CONCENTRATION.

From Mrs. Kate L. Coneklin, President Marion Union—FirBt of all, the union has been the means of bringing together workers from at least eight different Sunday schools, causing us to have a warm, sisterly feeling for each other and making us realize, as never before, that our work is the same. The young, inexperienced teacher is helped by learning the methods employed by teachers of greater experience. Undeveloped and unexpected talent is being brought out and there is greater freedom in taking part in devotional exercises.

But the greatest good is seen in the renewed consecration of the teachers and in the greater realization of the responsibility of training souls for eternity.

Those who meet with us once feel the power of the spirit and come again. The topics are always of vital interest to mothers and teachers of little children. We feel that deeper glances into child life are shown us and consequently a better understanding of their spiritual needs.

FOB MOTHERS OF YOUNG CHILDREN From Mr6. A. G. Crouse, Marion Union, Primary Secretary Marion County—Among the large number of clubs, union, etc., in our city, there is none that has greater influence for good, or is more successful than the Primary Teachers' Union. Persoi^illy, the union has been a wonderful help. It has made me a better Christian, teacher, woman and mother. I allow nothing but sickness or absence from the city to keep me away from the meetings. May God bless the unions throughout our land.

1JURDKNS ROLLED AWAT. I

From Mrs. J. T. Logue, President Cleveland Union—During my ten years' experience as a primary teacher, I have found nothing so helpful as the meetings of the Primary Teachers Union. There I learned, not only how

to teach thp weekly Ksson wi:h simplicity, but after the discussion which is given eaun week on various subjects many a burden has rolled away and many a difficult question ha6 been solved

BETTER TEACHING METHODS. From Mrs. S Skinner, of Cleveland Union, Primary Secretary for Cuyahoga County—The benefits of the Primary atid Intermediate Sunday School Teacher*' Union arc: 1st. Aii opportunity of dihcus^ing the various methods of teaching and illustration, and points of interest and difficulties in our work, also of hearing the lesson taught to the Union, by the best teachers, each week as to a class of little children, sh' .ing how attractive and simple d'.ilicult texts made be made to even small children, and an occasional opportunity to each, if they will, to try teaching the lesson to -he union. 2. Teachers giving thoug) from personal experience makes ttn. help most practical and establishes a oona of sympathy and union, giving renewed courage and zeal to all. 3. Access to the Union library which, of course, contains many more volumes on our particular work than any one teacher can own. So that our Union has become a great training school for those who, realizing their responsibility, avail themselves of it.

Crawfordsville is to have a Primary Teachers' Union. Teachers of primary and intermediate classss and mothers ivould do well to arrange to attend every session of the coming county Sunday school convention at which this Union will be organiz-d by Miss Eleanor Kirby, of Indianapolis.

Date of convention, May 27, 7:30 m., stereopticon lecture and address by Miss Kirby at Center church. May 28, all day session. Everybody welcome.

.Funeral or John. Wilson Linn. •John Wilson Linn was born in Hutler county, Ohio. Dec. 22, 1S32, died May 7, 1897, at the Indiana Soldiers' Home hospital, near Lafayette, lnd. Deceased came to Indiana in 1S50 and has been a resident of Montgomery county since that time, except three years and three months spent in the service of his country, first in the 17th lnd. Vol. for three months, and then in Co. E, i5th lnd. Vol. for three years. He joined the M. E. church in January, 1857, at the organization of the Mt. Tabor M. E. church. About three years ajjo he identified himself with the Primitive Baprist church of Crawfordsville. He was a member of Mcpherson Post, G. A. R., of Crawfordsville, and it was largely through their kindness that he was brought to his old home for interment. He was a brave soldier in the service of his country. The disease from which he died was softening of the brain. His funeral took place from the Sbiioh M. E. church Sunday afternoon at 2:30 o'clock, Rev. H. C. Riley, of the M. E. church at Mace, officiating. He' was buried by McPherson Post G. A. in the cemetery near by. A large gathering attended the funeral. X.

A Great .Swindle.

The failure of the Indiana Mutual Life Insurance Association at Indianapolis brings to light a swindle of the rottenest character and proves another warning to those who patronize out of town companies. The building and loan feature of the fake is what made victims in Crawfordsville and Montgomery county. Most of those caught here in town are colored people who can ill afford the loss of their savings. In New Ross over 89,000 is due, being paid up, and the losers are fairly frantic. People who wish to invest in building and loan associations should patronize home companies and sleep of nights.

Mrs. Edgar Robertson has mumps. Mrs. Alpha Johnson went to Waveland Monday.

You can talk freely to a woman when it is revolting to relate your private troubles to a man—besides, a man does not understand—simply because he is a man.

Many women suffer in silence and drift along from bad to worse, knowing full well that they ought to have immediate assistance, but a natural modesty impels them to shrink from exposing' themselves to the questions and probably examinations of even their family physician. It is unnecessary. Without money or price you can consult a woman, whose knowledge from actual experience is greater than any local physician in the world. The following invitation is freely offered accept it in tlu: same spirit:

MRS. PINKHAM'S STANDING INVITATION.

Women suffering from any form of female weakness are invited to promptly communicate with Mrs. Pinkliam at Lynn, Mass. All letters are received, opened, read and answered by women only. A woman can freely talk of lier private illness to a woman thus has been established the eternal confidence between Mrs. Pinkham and the women of America which has never been broken.

Out of the vast volume of experience which she lias to draw from, it is more than possible that she has gained the very knowledge that will help your case. She asks nothing in return except your good-will, and her advice has relieved thousands. Surely any woman, rich or poor, is very foolish if she does not take advantage of this generous offer of assistance.—Lydia E. Pinkham Medicine Co., Lynn, Mass.
