ALL GREEDS URGED
TO GO TO CHURCH
Trend of Modern Thought Is to
Give More Attention to Re
ligion.
(3y Rev. Joseph R. Sevier, D. D.)
The reader of the secular press has
noted within the part year or two a won
derful change in sentiment in regard to
matters of religion. Strong editorials
are frequent, urging the people to re
spond to the calls of the church. From
the Pittsburg Leader of October 31 is
the following:
“Human management of the affairs oi
the universe is failing. Without Divine
intervention, the world and its people
will plunge into chaos. America is rent
a sounder by the spirit of defence of law
and order. There apppeurs to be no man
or men big enough to stay the rising tide
of disaster. . . God alone can raw
. In prayer alone exists hope. The
people of America must go down on their
knees and ask Divia* aid."
The churches of Augusta are calling
on her people to begin the New Year by
going to church. Every man. woman
and child In Augusta is urged to attend
Divine worship in some church today.
PrtJfostant, Catholic. Jew and Gentile,
white and black, all are urged to spend
at least an hour In public worship on
this God's holy day.
Let’s not make it a day for merely so-
and recreational pleasures. Vt is
God's ho)y day, and He has promised
His blessing upon the land that observes
this day. while just as surely His curse
rests upon the people who forget His
holy day. Let’s unite today and make it
a day of prayer, for Divine aid in our
unity of our 1. rid. Let’s all go to the
church of our choice and beginning the
year right, let’s keep up the good habit.
Let’s throw our influence in with those
who believe in the things which ure true
and honest and good.
Let’s all go to church today!

CENSUS SHOULD GIVE
CITY POPULATION OF
58,000 TO 05,000
Count Being Taken Rapidly by
Local Enumerators.
The work of (alula ling the fourteenth
decennial census is moving smoothly
along in Augusta a id Richmond County I
ari ording to F. R, Pilcher supervisor
for this district, and if the little army
of enumerators continue to work at j
tii* ir present rate **f meed, the ldg task I
will be completed In edvance of the final I
dale allowed by the government.
Although no aetivl dgur* • are avail
able, due to a regulation of the census!
department which prohibit a employes
from divulging any Information, ii Is tin* ,
derfitood that the Richmond County
(‘numerators have avoniged 200 names
each per dav.
Applying this estimate to the city, It
is ri-adily seen that if II enumerators
within the corporate limits continue at
this clip for ten days, the city's popula
tion would pass the 80.000 mark. The
latter days of the enumeration period,
however, will probably be light ones,
i minus officials say.
Conservative estimates place the prov
able population of Augusta at between
58,0110 and 65,000. This will rank the
fit:, as third or fourth among the cities
of th 6 slat*'.
Summerville and NHlieville, ns Is
generally known, have been annexed by
Augusta since the 1910 emails, and their
addditlon will add quite r numb* r of
noses to the city’s final returns.
Inspector Pilcher :p*nt part of Satur
day in vDlting tin* enumerators at work
in the rural districtr and made the
statement that the work was progres
sing throughout the county without a
hitch.
