The postal receipts Of the Shenan-
doah office have ranked second In the
Eighth congressional district for
number Of years. Or eston ranks first
and Shenandoah second. Three years
ago Shenandoah was passed by In It's
rank to give a building to Centerville
on the ground that while the postal
business Of Centervlle was not so
great as In Shenandoah the popula-
ton was larger. But this excuse can
not be given in passir g us by the Sec
ond time for by the .ast census taken
Shenandoah was the larger of the two

fact revealed by the table is the posi-
ton of Utah. In 1890 1t had smaller
excess OF males than any other state
or territory in the western division and
six OF the twelve states or territories
of the central divisions west Of the
Mississippi. BY 1900 the excess Of
males had been still further reduced.
The tables given make It clear that
in the United States the distribution Of
the sexes In city and country is very
unlike. A similar difference exists In
western Europe. 1t is apparent. too,
from figures given that the opposite Is
true Of oriental countries. Professor
Wilcox, who prepared the bulletin, says
the effect of immigration Of males to
the west and more sparsely settled
countries is not sufficient to account
for the tendency. The difference be-
tween city and country has increased
in greater ratio than the population.
Professor Wilcox's bulletin does moi
draw conclusions as to reasons but
suggests that minor causes may ac-
count in part for the difference. The
inference, however, is drawn that cli-
mate and density of population are
factors in determining the sex.

THE SEXES AND THE CENSUS.

In bulletin IA, recently issued by
the bureau of the census on the pro-
portion OF the sexes In the United
States, some curious things are shown
with respect to sex and population in
this country. The figures in them
selves are interesting and they present
uneoualled opportunities for the theor-
ishs and students of sociology. Per
hans the most notable fact presented
is that of the excess of females over
males in density populated districts,
while in the sparsely settled or country
districts the excess of males is every
where apparent. About one-half of the
total estimated population of the earth
has been counted with distinction of
sex. and of this half 50.3 per cent were
males and 1917 per cent were females.
In every continent except Australia the
number of the two sexes approaches
close to equality. The relative excess
of males in the United States is thus
seen to be slightly greater than the
probable excess in the world as a
whole. H. is conclusively shown that
as the population increases the proper
ton of females over males increases
This fact is made especially apparent
by comparison Of the population of
the District Of Columbia. A table
showing ehe percentage Of male pop
ulation In the various states and ter
ritories shows Ala per cent Of males
in District Of Columbia, while in Mon
tana the population was $50 per cent
in 1900. From a table showing the
density of population it appears that
the District Of Columbia is much the
most densely settled Of the fifty d1yis-
ions OF the United States. Its very
high density and the marked excess Of
females in Its population may have
some connection. The table also
shows that Rhode Island and Massa-
chusetts, the second and third states in
order Of density OF population, are
third and second IN order Of the pre-
pohderance Of females, both of them
differing not little from the nearest
states. Perhaps the most noteworthy

STIMULATING BIBLE STUDY.

MUCH lnpeCSSL uuS USeu SNAASSu w
ministers and churchmen generally In
the convention Of the American Bible
League. which held its second annual
meeting few days ago in Boston. The
league is composed of several hundred
of the leading Bible students and in
vestigators Of the county, and Its pur-
pose is to combat destructive Bible
criticism. 1t stands for reasonable
views of inspiration Of the scriptures,
for the divinity of Jesus Christ and for
the essentials OF Christian faith.
Criticism as applied to the Bible Is of
two classes, destructive and construc-
tive. The world is vastly better off for
The Investigations that have been car
ried on under the name of criticism.
because 1t has, generally speaking.
strengthened the hold Of the Bible on
the lives OF it's believers. Honest In
vestigation is welcomed by the league,
the purpose of which, according to Its
president, Mr.. w. P. Hall, Is the band
Ing together the friends Of the Bible,
to promote more thorough reveren-
tial, and constructive, study OF the
sacred volume and to maintain the his
toric faith OF the church In its divine
inspiration and supreme authority as
the word of God. TO search the scrip
lures for the imperishable gold Of Gods
eternal truth is indeed most Christly
and commendable, and to devote one
self to such search for truth in the
spirit and with the methods of q truly
reverent and scientific scholarship, Is
but to yield obedience to the spirit and
teachings of our divine Lord. For such
Christ-like critical study the league
most strenuously stands" Among the
subjects discussed by some Of the lead
ing theologians of the United States
were "pThe Collapse of Evolution, by
DR.. Luther T. Townsend. One remark
able statement of DR.. Townsands pap
er was that "the generally received
statement that scholarly men, men Of
science and the worlds philosophers
are all evolutionists is SO far from be-
Ing the case that the exact opposite Is
true" During the session of the league
many Of the best known and strongest
ministers and professors and presidents
of theology seminaries took part in the
discussions.
The league will have done Christian
ity service If 1t succeeds in stimu-
lating intelligent study Of the scrip
ture. The Importance of Bible study
cannot be overestimated. The prevail
ing ignorance in regard to anything
like al, exact knowledge Of the scrip
lures by the more intelligent class is
alarming. Nearly every one has lit
tie knowledge Of the Bible, but when
required to state clearly tide details of
a miracle or parable, or quote scrip
ture in support Of a doctrine or to dis
prove erroneous teaching, or even to
giving scriptural proof for the faith
that is within them, few can do 1t.
There are many Bible societies and the
scriptures are being studied more sys-
tematically and with better methods
now than ever before. That the next
great revival will not come until the
world is better acquainted with the
Bible is the deliberate Judgment of the
leaders in all church. If this be true
the American Bible League and like
organizations have great mission.
