Mr.. William r. Merriam, director of
the census, in an official bulletin, de-
clares that no attempt will be made
by the bureau to collect religious sta
tistics. The Government, he says,
does not concern itself with the re-
isious opinions of it's citizens" and it
does not deem that it has ANY right
to inquire into their hereditary and
personal convictions" The census EMU
merators of 1890, he adds, did not them
selves collect the religious data pub
lished by the bureau; the information
was derived from circulars and blanks
sent to the various religious bodies.

The city Of Manchester. in England,
has been taking a religious census
similar in plan to that recently taken
in Philadelphia. Insuperable difficult
ties We're found in obtaining complete
returns, but it is thought that the 49,
900 visits tabulated are fairly repre-
sented- Says The Churchman: Each
visit represents a house. OF these, A.
$50 belong to one or another branch of
the Evangelical Free Churches, Bap-
list, Methodist, Congregational, and
the like; $3.50 We're Anglican, $50 Ro-
man catholic. Sporadic sects account
ed for $50. Thus. $500 were left some
thing more than a quarter of all, who
protested no religious connection. tho
many of them sent their children to
Sunday schools, being Indifferent rath-
er than hostile to church influence.
Indeed, the census showed but three
aggressive atheists in the whole $1,000
houses visited"

forth as missionaries to America, have
started their work in San Francisco
since November, 1899. Their central
station is at s07 Polk street, whence
they regularly visit Fresno Bakers
field and Sacramento, where they have
branches. The object of their mission
is to look after their lost sheep and
reach the Western races with the Cos
pei of Buddha. The general service for
Japanese is held every Sunday night,
with about sixty in attendance on an
average, besides special meetings on
Thursday and Saturday nights. For
the whites they hold general services
every Sunday afternoon, with forty to
fifty attendants. These missionaries
belong to the Honguwanji sect, new
sect among japanese Buddhists.
