1t Is dawning Upon a few pastors In
this country that if the people will not
come to church to hear the Gospel,
that the Gospel must be carried to
them. The spirit which searched for
the stray lamb in the mountains far
away instead OF staying by the ninety
and nine lying safely within the fold.
IS spreading. This is shown by such
items as these occasionally in the
Monday morning papers:
Recently {, Minneapolis lastor went
10 the baseball park and preached a
fifteen minute sermon before the game
was called.
AT St Louis another minister de-
livered a discourse at the biggest
beer garden in the city. In each case
the audience was attentive and en-
thusiastic.''
A live Gospel has legs and legs to
be used and there is no reason why it
should not seek and find those who
are in darkness as well as to cry
from the house-to tops, Seek and We
shall find" There is too much shout
ing from the house-tops ami too little
doing. Perhaps the most appreciative
listeners might be found among those
who are awake to their opportunities
and the pleasures of the world. The
bustling, yelping multitude will always
be found to be awake and they might,
perhaps, have better ears to hear than
those orderly regulars. many of whom
are charged with doing through the
sermon hour, or being more interested
in millinery than in anything the min
isteripg servant may have to say. The
flock that has the most ozone, which
objects to musty atmosphere within
four cold walls, may be the most in
viting.
It is historic that when the noun
tain declined to go TO Mohammed, Mo-
manned saw the necessity for going

ATORS.

Taking of the census is a mans job,
as the number of supervisors and
enumerators and the character of the
work readily indicate. Director e.
Dana Durand is to have under his
supervision 800 supervisors and $4,000
enumerators who will address us all
with questions we shall willingly an
swer and some we would willingly
have omitted. 1t is a work which re-
quires skill. accuracy and judgment
TO get approximately correct results
for the amount of lying that is done
by the people who are secretive and
think their affairs are none of the
governments business is something
prodigious.
The expectation is that the people
have increased to between 20 and 95
million, since the gain in the prior
decade was 8 million, but 1t would not
be surprising If the growth had not
been more than 10 million.
This army of enumerators will not
only strive to count the people, but
TO get at the character and amount of
their wealth. Recent known increases
in property Indicate a great gain in
property, as statistics show that the
numtcr Of farms increased from A.
5s4,S4l in 1890 to 100000 in 1908.

a question easily answered. Its first
and legal use is to furnish a basis
for the congressional apportionment
Article I. of the Constitution says:
Representative and direct taxes
shall be apportioned among the sew
eral states which may be included
within the union according to their
respective numbers, which shall be de-
termined by adding to the whole num-
Der of free persons, Including those
bound to service for a term of years,
and excluding Indians not taxed, three
fifths Of all other persons. The actual
enumeration shall be made within
three years after the first meeting OF
the congress OF the United States. and
within every subsequent term of ten
years. in such manner as they shall
by law direct The number of repre-
sentatives shall not exceed one for
every thirty thousand, but each state
shall have al least one representative"

WHAT THE PAPERS SAY,
A Prevalent Fault.

Here in Ansonia we wonder what
they mean. Here, no pavement is per-
manent. 1t neither stays laid nor does
all Of 1t remain on the street where
it was laid. 1t doesn't lie still. 1t is
forever on the go. Today ii is intact,
tomorrow it is dug up. And there
probably isn't as much of it, not by 10
per cent, as there was when IL was
first put down. The fact is. when it is
taken up the men who replace ii are
seldom able to get it all back into the
hole from whence 1t came. 1t never
seeks the same level 1t has its ups
and downs. and when it Is not relaid
on Main street no one seems to know
what becomes of 1t. Originally II was
laid for permanent paving, but It has
proved to be anything but permanent.

brought him into ill-favor, which has
brought his name to derision. When a
man is called jay he is thought to
be on the great divide between folly
and idiocy. The jay is magnificent
dresser and looks stylish on bare limbs
in winter with a snowy background to
show him up while in quest of food.
He is a cunning bird, and in captivity
never fails to make hit; but his file
rasping antics early in the morning
make the irritable yearn for a shot
gun. 1t is unfortunate that such a
pretty bird should have a yawp more
disagreeable than the boot of the owl
or the booming of the bittern. The
Jaws are more common than usual in
the suburbs this year, because Of the
dry weather doubtless. They do not
care to bother man, but prefer the SOL
itudes, all conditions for their welfare
being equal. l fancy these "1njuns"

Il has been said that he will not get
to heaven who desires to go thither
alone There is no special merit in
securing heaven for ourselves, for that
lies in trying to secure it for others.
There are people who think that they
are of the elect who have never yet
realized the truth. Doing right, with
many people, does not INCLUDE DONG
as you would be done by. The active,
religious principle lies not SO much in
what is accepted by US as by what
goes out from the heart. The get
ter Of good is nothing compared to
the distributor. Good words have their
mission-good acts accomplish 1t. A
pious pretence is just like any other
pretence-it is the weak stage which
precedes fulfilment: and without full
filment it is falsity. Real piety VI
brates-it radiatesand glows so that
special attention does not have to be
called to it. Where the symbol in
stead OF the deed indicates goodness
1t is a feeble thing; and feeble things
are all too common everywhere.

WORDS SMOOTHER THAN BUT
TER

A Rutland butter maker uses wrap
pers for his product that should in
spire confidence that it is not adulter-
ated. Each wrapper contains a verse
of Scripture. The verses seem to be
selected without reference to any par
ticular applicability, however. One
reads: "And if the righteous scarcely
can De saved, where shall the ungodly
and the sinner APPEAR" The manu-
facturer might have quoted: She
brought forth butter in a lordly dish;
or. THE words of his mouth were
smoother than butter; or, Surely the
churning of milk bringeth forth but

authority for the mingling of milk and
water; in fact, it is promised that
those guilty Of the practice shall be
thrown into the outer darkness.-Rut-
