METHODISTS TO STORM CITIES.

Vigorous Campaign.

A revival of Interest In city and

work of tho Methodist church, which

"There absolutely must be increas
ed interest in the problem of city
evangelization. Being fully convinc
centres,' the board proposes to in
ed that the cities aro the 'storm
augurato a campaign more vigorous
and aggressive than ever."
Referring to conditions in the
country, this statement Is made:
"Methodism by Its circuit system Is
well adapted to country evangeliza
tion. We recommend the revival of
tho circuit system which proved so
useful in tho days of our fathers.
"Country churches are in many
places being constantly weakened
by emigration to the city, and the
city Ib gathering many of Ha best
and useful members from country
charges.
"These country charges that are
suffering from emigration must be
held, even where foreigners are tak
ing the place of English-speaking
people. We should care for such
charges by the appointment of plurl
llngual preachers and hold the
ground until the public schools have
taught the children of the foreigners
the English language."

home missions from all sources, In

FARMER AND THE CENSUS.
Some Points for Farmers to Prepare
for tho Enumerator.
The thirteenth general census of
the United States will be taken next
year, beginning April 15. About
65,000 enumerators will then engage
In the task of counting every man,
woman and child In the country,
and of ascertaining for each individ
ual the color, sex, conjugal relation,
place of birth of parents, number of
years in the United States, citizen
ship, occupation, etc.
In addition Congress has provid
ed for the collection of detailed In
formation concerning the three prin
cipal productive Industries of the
country agriculture, manufactures
and mines and quarries. These
three branches of industry represent
so large a proportion of the total
wealth of the country that their pro
gress from decade to decade Is an
accurate index of the development
of the country as a whole.
Notwithstanding the value of the
census of population for tho purpose
of reapportioning representation In
Congress, and the value of tho man
ufacturing statistics, tho census of
agriculture Is regarded as of the
greatest Importance to the country.
Tho census of 1900 showed that
tho United States Is still primarily
an agricultural country. Tho total
valuo of farm property was nearly
twenty and one-half billion dollars,
a sum more than twice that of the
aggregate capital Invested in manu
factures. Population can always be estimat
ed with a fair degree of accuracy.
Manufacturing is so highly organized
that It Is comparatively easy to get
Information as to its capital and pro
ducts. But agriculture is tho great
unorganized Industry with respect to
book records of Its operations.
More than 7,000,000 farmers are
conducting operations on separate
farms at the present time. Their
products are marketed at all seasons
of the year, under all sorts of condi
tions, and at a widely varying range
of prices. New lands, new crops, new
methods and new processes are con
stantly modifying conditions and af
fecting the net result to an unknown
extent.
Therefore, while the Department
of Agriculture keeps in close touch
with every phase of farm life, so
vast Is the industry and so intangible
are many of the elements and condi
tions affecting farm operations that
the crop and other estimates of the
department would become practical
ly valueless If not regularly revised
in the light of the census returns.
The farm census Is taken primar
ily for the benefit of the farmer, but
it is of interest to all classes, and
especially just now. To what extent
the very marked Increase during re
cent years in the cost of living, and
especially In the cost of certain
kinds of farm produce, is due to
shortage in production, is a question
of vital moment.
A complete and accurate census
of farm areas, products and values
will furnish the data which. In con
nection with the revised population
figures, should throw much light on
the great question of our national
food supply.
It lies with the farmer to pro
vide this information, and the census
department is making a special ap
peal to him to get ready for the enu
merators. By preparing an accurate
account of his farm operations dur
ing the year ending Dec. 31, 1909,
and by making an Inventory on Apr.
15, 1910, of all his farm possessions,
tho farmer can render the country
a great service.
The schedule which the farmer
will bo asked to All may bo divided
into Ave parts, as follows:
1. Personal information regarding
the farmer.
2. General information regarding
farm acreage, values and expenses.
3. A statement of the acreage,
yield and value of all farm crops
harvested In 1909, and of all ani
mal products that Is, dairy pro
ducts, eggs, live stock, etc.
4. An inventory of all live stock,
including poultry and bees, on hand
April 15, 1910.
5. Miscellaneous Information.
With the practical co-operation of
the farmers of the country in pre
paring in advance accurate records
of their products and property, the
census of 1910 should contain the
most interesting statistics of agricul
ture ever published.

How long did they stay at Mollta

Which to the average man, is the
hardest thing to do; to wait, or to go
on; to be compelled to rest, or bo com
pelled to work, to have patlonco or to
hurry?
Is It as einful to work when you
ought to rest, as It is to rest when you
ought to work?
Here are two ships from Alexandria
and bound for Italy, tho one Paul
sailed In and the "Castor and Pollux"
and both apparently were compelled
to put Into Mellta; ono was wrecked
by so doing, while the other landed
and wintered in safety; was it provi
dence, or chance, or skill, or any
other power, that caused the wreck of
the one ship and the safety o the
other?
Two young men, of apparently the
same ability, go into the same kind

Verse 14 In Puteoll Paul found
Christian brethren, and tarried with
them seven days which to-day, an
swering from actual experience, forms
the closest and most practical bond
of union and fellowship, when travel
ling, members of the same church, or
members of the samo fraternal so
ciety? Verse 15 What relation in life la
there mora fraught with blessings,
and that imparts more "courage," than
true Christian fellowship?
Verse 16 Real Christians aro found
in all trades and professions, and
among the rich and the poor, and
may bo some are in prison; now is it
invariably the case that, like Paul
here, they get moro comfort out of
their circumstances than do their fel
lows? Versea 17-23 When we are as badly
treated as the Jews treated Paul, in
his own country, is it either wise or
profitable, or politic, to speak of our
enemies in as strong language as the
facts warrant; or should we out of
loving hearts mitigate their offence all
we can, as Paul does here?
Christians were in those days much
slandered, and were "everywhere spok
en against"; are real Christians still
spoken against?
Christianity is now becoming popu
lar, is that an advantage or disad
vantage? Should we ever allow ourselves to
speak against, or bo prejudiced against
any "sect" or society of which we
have not got accurate or first hand
knowledge?
Verse 23 What points would Paul
be apt to emphasize concerning the
"kingdom of God?"
Verso 24 Would those who believed
Paul's testimony, be the religiously
honest men, and those who disbelieved,
the religiously dishonest men, or was
it a mere matter of evidence and of the
intellect?
Verses 25-29 If a man lives in sin,
and his moral nature is deadened and
perverted so that he does not recognize
tho truth, is he as guilty as a man
who deliberately rejects it?
Is it a law of God that Bin deadens
tho conscience and perverts tho judg
ment, henco, can a man living in any
kind of sin, trust his judgment on
personal, moral and spiritual ques
tions? Verses 30-31 Should evory Chris
tian homo be used for preaching and
teaching the kingdom of God?
