SUNDAY SCHOOL CONVENTION

The Great International Meeting at Den ver, Colorado. Editor Tkibuxe. The International Sunday- school convention was held at Denver, Colorado, June 20 to 30th. The apportionment of delegates was four to each 150,000 Sunday school enrollment. There were however several thousand who took advantage of the one fare rate and accompanied the delegation. The trip to Denver was free from incident, except the pleasurable occurrences that would necessarily follow such a gathering; these occurrences were many, but will mention but one. When the train came to the city of Lincoln, Nebraska, we were pleasantly greeted by that distinguished gentleman, Ysm. J. Bryan, with a hand shake and God's sp.ed. Thursday morning 8 a. m., found us in the Queen City of the west.Denver It was really understood by everySun day school worker that the convention was to be the greatest of its kind the world ever held. The questions for discussion and settlement were to be most important, and the convention attended by the most noted men and women of the world. The personnel of the convention might be interesting and I will say, that at one sitting of the convention I counted thirty-four men on the platform every one of whom are wide )j known over the United States and many of them over the whole world. On the Sunday of the convention at 10:30 I had the privilege of hearing the Rev. A. C. Dixon, of Boston, and at 12 attended Sunday school at the Central Presbvterian church. This building is modern, and was construct ed especially with the Sunday school in view with twentv-four class rooms and everything along the line of Sun day school architecture complete During the school hour Dr. A. F Shaultfcr, of New York, was introduced and talked to the school. At 3:00 o'clock the Sunday School Superintendent's conference was conducted by Mr. Marion Lawrence at which 399 superintendents were pres ent. Ar night Prof. II. M. Hamill, of Nashville and Geo. C. Lorimer, of New York City, each delivered ap propriate addresses. These were meetings I attended many others were held in the city. Every feature of Sunday work was. during this convention discussed, but to my mind the most important was that of the "Beginners Course," the "Two Years Advance Course of Les sons' and "The Temperance Les son." This brought on a spirited fight, every phase of the question was ad vanced and discussed and the conten tion was warm and earnest. The question was divided in three parts, "Beginners Course," "Two Years Advance Course," "The Tern perance Lesson. " I favored the un 1 i -. conaitionai eginner's course, an optional- two years advance course, and the retention of the temperance "- lesson. Tne isiginners course was adopted and the temperance lesson re tained, but the optional two years advanced course was not adopted and the plan of advanced lessons for the present abandoned. The two great churches of Denver, the Trinity M. E., and the Central Presbyterian were used for the con vention. It was said either would hold 4,000 and the convention proper being held in the Trinity M. E., the other used for the overflow gatherings, most of the time standing rosm could not be obtained in either.TV jjenver was an anve ana every . courtesy snown, it seemea every I church, and every citizen felt respon sible for the comfort of the members of this convention, everythg in Den ver is new and modern and therefore m many ways far in advance of cities of the middle states. 9 If the pioneer Sunday School Ex pansioners, many of whom have long since gone tp the God they served, could have looked out upon this great throng,a pleasing spectacle would have been their reward. In that happy crowd were men and women from all parts of the globe, representing all conditions of life and all united in the one endeavor to advance the spreading of the gospel among the children of the earth, no matter what tongue they speak, regardless of color, and without reference to denominations or creed. This host of representative people was a splendid commentary upon the results of organization and consecration. There were gathered together men who are famous in literature and religion, men whose thoughts are eagerly awaited by millions of readers and students, men and women whose profound researeß into the Bible have made their names household words, and their personalities revered and honored, many of them thus have whitened for the grave. Also there were those not old in years but exemplars of what is represented by the Sunday school movement, in that

they were about then Master's busi

ness at tender ages, therefore old in service and duty. The world wide feature of this con vention was apparent, by reason of the presence of men from many parts of the earth. The Canadian provinces, London. Australia, Prince Edward is land. South America, Palestine, and India all contributed to this vast as sembly. Fridav morning Trinity church was packed to its doors. When George W. Bailey, the treasurer and chair man of the finance committee, pre sented his report, after which Marion Lawrence, the general secretary, told of the convention's needs, when he had told how many field secretaries were wanted six instead of three, and how much money wa$ needed to carry on the work, and after olTering a prayer, "Arkansas," cried out, put us down for fifty dollars. From a far otf corner British Columbia said, for us fifty dollars annually for three years, at this juncture Illinois raised a storm of applause. When they promised one thousand dollars which was followed by New Jersey with six hundred nd Ohio and Massachusetts for one thousand each, and on down the list he went, the little baby state Nevada being adopted by Ohio and pledged for twenty-five dollars, Porto Rica, Cuba, Hawaii and the Philippines responded. Prof. Excell announced in his big hearted way five hundred dollars as an individual otlering. which was followed by Mrs Hartshorn of Boston, in the sum of seven hundred and fifty dollars, and in thirty minutes the sura was announced to be sufiicient and amounted to forty-two thousand dollars annually for three years. If enthusiasm counts for anything then the women in attendance at this International Sunday School convention were the most energetic and interested workers that ever came together. These women, who represent every state in the union stand for experience and advancement along every phase of Sunday school work. The arguments for and against the advanced lesson necessarily included the subject of grading and the dissimilarity between the Sunday school and the day school. It was claimed and many contentions were made, that the day school was for development in literature the sciences and arts. In the Sunday school the development was of the morals, and spiritual; that detailed grading in the Sunday school is not demanded while in the day school it is necessary; that the teachingof Lincoln, Washington, Abraham, Noah and Christ is a question of adaption and not of grading, while in mathematics there must be grading. There are certainly two sides to this question and I am not sure that we are ready to adopt the two years advanced lessons. The adoption of the Beginner's Course is right, and we should arrange for it in the primary department of our schools. , In this convention the teacher's privilege was greatly exalted and dignified. The speaker illustrated it with a story of numerous angels, one of whom came to earth and not returning, the others came to look for the lost one, and found the angel sitting down beside a child teaching it: and when reproved for remaining so long, replied, it is better to ?ach a child than to be with the holy angels. The central thought of the whole convention seemed to be consecration. Trained teaching. Teaching acceptance of Christ, rather than about Christ. The next world's convention will be held in Jerusalem in 1904. The International will hold its next session at Toronto in 1905. No one can be informed concerning the work done by the Sunday schools scattered throughout the world, and fail to appreciate the vast benefit it brings to the people and its far-reaching influence in the cause of Christianity. John Bright, the great English statesman said, "There is no field of labor, no field of Christian benevolence, which has yielded a greater harvest to our national interests and national character than the great institu tion of Sunday schools." ' Many interesting details and features of the trip and convention have been omitted by rsason of the lack of space. John W. Parks. Vandalia Line Specials.

T WILL BE DONE At the United Mine Workers' Convention at Indianapolis Next Week. " HITCHELL TELLS WHAT EE THINKS Member of the Citizens Alliance l'.cplies to the U. 31. W. Pr s? idei.t Chicago Labor Troubles. Wilkesbarre, Pa., July 12. For tl:e Cit time since the mine workers detided to hold a special national convention I 'resident Milehcll yesun'.ay consented to say scmcthhig for publication about the gathering. He s:.:d it ' was utterly impossible to forecast the action of the convention. 1'ien his remarks it is almost certain the convention will do one of only two things either decide on a general suspension cr provide a defense fund for the anthracite strikers. Citizeus Alliance TIan Write. J. I tideway Wright, of this city, the leader of the Citizens' Alliance which was recently organized in this vicinity, has sent an cpen letter to President Mitchell in which he calls the hitter's attention to alleged intimidations, boycotting and other annoyances practict-d on all persons who are working in the mines. Ho pays a tribute to organized lalor generally for the food it has done, and reminds Mitchell that every man has a right to work or remain idle, as he sees rit. In concluding his communication Wright says: "We therefore appeal to you to declare What He Ask of Mitchell. "(1) The highways are free to all who desire work, notwithstanding a strike is in progress. '(- Uoycotts aj.air.st any business or professional man on the ground of services rendered to a non-union worker are condemned by the union. "V,) That hanging in effigy, the digging of mock graves, and every other form of violence, threat and libel, are condemned by the union. (4 Strikers who participate in any of the offenses thus itemized will be held responsible to the union for all disturbances or unlawful boycotts in which either they themselves or their wives and children participate. Ue-Iuca Mie Alliance. "Referring to your speech at Xanticoke we call your attention to the error on which it is based. The Citizens' Alliance is not an adjunct to or organized by operators. Its membership of more than is in sympathy with organized labor, but over and above it, and above all organized capital, we intend to uphold organized society. We are not the proper subjects of criticism because we took no part in trying to suppress evils which are said to have occurred long before the Alliance was formed, nor are we the subject of criticism because we saw no need for an alliance among citizens to rc press boycotts which you say occurred, but were limited to operators and miners in their struggle with one another. What the Society Is Here l'or, "Rut when the boycott raises its head against the private right of neutrals, and when lawlessness destroys property, threatens arson and nurd er, and takes the form of actual rioting, it is the right and the duty of neutrals and citizens generally to organize in self-defense and for the maintenance of public order, and we are justified in inviting a co-operation from both sides in the existing strike." THEKE AHE HOPES AT CHICAGO Tli at the Freight Handlers' Strike Will Be a Thing or the Fast. . Chicago, July 12. Mutual concessions by the freight handlers and by the railroads have paved the way for conferences between the managers a:jd their employes which, it is hoped, will lead to the settlement of the freight handlers' strike. These conferences, which will be the result of the work of the Chicago board of arbitration, will be held today. The board of arbitration has made the following recommendation, which has been accepted by the railroads and by the freight handlers: "That a committee of five, four of whom must be employes of their respective railroads and having full power to act, meet with the proper officers of the said railroads during the forenoon of Saturday, July 12, to settle the existing differences between the railroads and the freight handlers." After receiving the consent of the freight handlers the members of the board of arbitration prepared the following list of demands for the men to present to the railroads. In drawing them up they said they were assured that they would be acceptable to the railroads: "Abolition of the time of probation for new men; all freight handlers to receive full pay from the start; 18 cents an hour for truckmen (the railroads offer 17 cents); time and cne-half for overtime." If the conferences between the general managers and the strikers shall not lead to the settlement of the strike it is a practical certainty that all the members of the Teamsters' union will go out. The drivers for the commission houses on South Water street informed their employers yesterday that they would lmndle goods for the lake lines and for the express companies! but that they would not after tocliy deliver anything to the freight houses or haul anything away from them. Several slight disturbances occurred at west side freight houses during the morning, but no arrests were made. A teamster said to have been employed by the Kennedy Biscuit company drove into the yards of the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy company and delivered a load at the freight house. When he drove off he was followed by a crowd of strike sympathizers. lie had proceeded a short distance from the freight house when his horses were stopped and he was pulled from the seat of his wapon and severely beaten. Probably a dozen men were brutally beaten because they had delivered freight to one or another of the boycotted railroads. There were no arrests In. any case. Union Pacific Ultimatum. Omaha, Neb., Julv 12. The Unloa Pacitlc Railroad company has given formal notice to its striking shopmen to return to work at once or forfeit their positions. The notice was posted at the shops. W.
