RICHMOND MINISTERS
SPEAK AT NORTHFIELD
Rev. ItusnrU Ccctl. I). I), nml ninliop
Colllni* Denny on I'roKrnm
for This Week.
EAST NORTHFIELD, MASS.. Au_
gust 7.?"I consider thiK the most im
portant nudionco I ever addressed, be
cause it represents the two things
dearest to all Americans?their chil
dren and their country," said Marga
ret Slattcry, the lecturer, at one of the
Joint gatherings of the Northfield
Summer School of Sunday School
Methods and the Women's School of
Home Missions. For an entire w?-ck
these two bodies have been engaged
ln definite systematic study of vital
topics under the leadership of experts.
The Sunday school students were di
vided Into classes for training teachers
and superintendents to take charge of
primary. Junior Intermediate, and
adult departments. Among the f>00 or
more delegates was a large proportion
of college-bred men and women. Quite
a number of young business and pro
fessional men spent a part of their va
cation In Iltting themselves for this
form of Christian service. Herbert
Knox Smith, former United States
Commissioner of Corporations. and
superintendent of a Sunday School In
Karmlngton, Conn., motored from his
home there, bringing several inern_
bers of his school with him.
The keynote nowadays In religious,
as well as secular education, is effi
ciency and this New England town
makes provision for precisely that
thing. The attendance was as follows:
Congregationallsts, 398; Baptists, 225;
Methodists, 125; Presbyterians, 04;
Reformed, 15; Lutherans, f?; Episco
palians, 5. Other denominations rep
resented were the Christian. Univer
salis! and Christian Science. The
total was %73.
Equally thorough was the work
done by the women, who sent a dele
cation of over 427 to study Tome
Missions. The Congregatlonalists led
with 11R, then came 105 Presbyterians,
57 Methodists, 77 Baptists, 40 Dutch
Reformed. 12 Lutherans, and three
other denominations with less than
ten each.
Some of the most serious evils in
American life, such as illiteracy child
labor, race prejudice, Mormonism. and
conditions of the underworld in great
cities were discussed.
The five conferences already held
lead up naturally to the last and long
est, to close August 15. During these
weeks Xorthfield is always filled to
overflowing. The war hinders two
English speakers from attendng.
?\mong the speakers this week will be
Rev. Charles Inglis, London, England,
English Evangelist; R?-v. A. Johns
ton Ross P. P., professor Union Thro
logical Seminary. New York City; Rev.
Charles E. Jefferson. I?. P.. pastor

| MISSING MAN'S nODY
IS FOUND IN WELL
[Fpeclal to The Times-Pispntch.]
ROCKVILLE, VA., August 7.?The
body of Henry Tiller was found by
members of his family in the well at
his home near here on Thursday. He
had been missing from the house for
several hours. It is believed that while
drawing water from the well the chain
to which the bucket was attached be
came hung, and ln trying to loosen It
Mr. Tiller lost his balance and fell in.
There was no water in the lungs and
he was badly bruised and had a cut
] on the head. He evidently was dead
j before touching the water. The well is
I fifty feet deep, with more than twenty
j feet of water in it.
He was burled at Punn's Chapel on
Friday afternoon. He leaves a widow
I and several small children.

Cure Where All
Others Fail
Read This .Proof of a Wonderful Cure Effected by the
United Doctors?Who Are Located at 306-30S
310-812 Lyric Building, Richmond, Ya.
A lady walked into our offices a few days ago and ask
ed to see our Specialist. As soon as the Doctor could leave
a patient he walked into the reception room to ascertain
just what the lady wanted. "Doctor," she said, "I want to
know why you have stopped using my testimonial in your
advertisements? ' I want you to put it in agin, because I
want to be able to tell the people who write and call me
just what you have done for me, and how glad I am to re
commend your services."
Read this lady's statement below, and write her for
particulars if you desire.
Ml*. J. R. Fitch, of 2K20 Vennlile Street, wife of Clerk- of
romml.inary. Southern Hallway, Is self-explanatory:
The United Doctors, Richmond, Va.:
I wish it were possiblo for mo to come into contact per
sonally with sufferers from Rheumatism, that I might tell
them of the wonderful cure the United Doctors have ef
fected for me.
I was a sufferer for many years to such an extent that
life was practically nothing to me. I could not raise my
arm, and could hardly walk.
I visited a number of doctors, but none gave me relief.
After spending all the money I had, I was prevailed upon
by a lady friend, whom you had cured of some other trouble,
to visit your otllces as a last resort. I thought I would be
only wasting my husband's hard-earned money. After a
consultation I was convinced that you could help me. After
talking the matter over with my husband and after repeat
ed urglngs by my friends I took the treatment.
The United Doctors cured me. To them 1 am indebted
for the restoration of life and health, after all others had
failed. After two and one-half months' treatment 1 am
absolutely cured.
I want you to publish this statement, and I want all who
may need treatment, who suffor, to write me, that I may in
a small way repay you by telling them more fully of your
wonderful work. A number of people have already written
me, and 1 want the interested ones to continue to do so.
