The Methodist Advocate, on

says :
“Just at this time our country
needs a religion that will make.
a man pay his debts. Shouting
won't pay old accounts with
God or man. We bounce

the church if he goes to a

CENSUS QUERIES.
The blank schdules to be used
in the next census are now be
ing distributed by the Census
office to the enumerator, who
will start to work on June let
The schedules contain questions
which some persons may think
prying, purposeless, or exces
sive in number. But their num
bar and character have been de
tannin c by Congress, not by
the Census. Office, and all of
‘hem have been asked in pie
vious censuses, The only im
portaut change since I860 is
chat some questions have been
abandoned.
People are often offended at
the question, ‘How old are you?’
and are apt to wonder vrhat use
the Government cau make of
their replies. Taken as a vvhofe
the replies are as important
any clasa of information the
Census office collects. Age re¬
turns penetrate and elucidate
every other branch of statisti¬
cal knowledge. They show
where child labor is prevalent,
and where the proportion of
persons able to support them¬
selves is large or small- They
reveal the great number of
ored children and the short life
6f the negroes under present
conditions. They make it pos
eible to ascertain whether the
average leifgffi of life is increas
ing or decreasing, ho>v many

are capable of voting or of bear
ing arms, and whether the
ative number of children is
