The Federal census is faulty in one
respect For example, it credits to any
particular country all immigrants from
that country, when, in fact, they may
belong to some other nationality.
Scotch, Irish and Germans, who come
from England, are put down as Eng
lish. TO get a correct classification OF
the races and nationalities represented
in our population the census-taker
should ascertain and record the facts.
The particular point of departure for
the immigrant has no significance.

The JOY Of Forgiveness.

There is no respect in which men
get closer to Jesus, or more complete
in their exemplification Of His life,
than in the enjoyment and manifesto
ton of the spirit Of forgiveness, which
is the condition of our own access to
the grace of pardon and peace. If we
forgive not, there is no forgiveness
for us. Forgive us our trespasses,"
Jesus taught us to pray, las we for
give those who trespass against us"
That means much both ways. If we
withhold that boon from others, we
simply lock the door OF mercy against
ourselves; but IN case we forgive fully
and affectionately. then the gracious
arms and words of our heavenly Faith
er cover and comfort us as completely
as they did the prodigal. A fatherly
embrace, kiss. ring. robe, and
shoes for our sore and weary feet are
bound to follow!

Privilege of the Toiler.

The necessity for work is inwrought
into the constitution of things and
persons. The very fact that man is
a toiler puts him in line with one of
the greatest commandments Of God.
In some places the conditions under
which he tolls ought to be improved.
radically improved. And here those
who have been trying to express pity
need to put their attention. If safety
devices can be installed where there
has been danger heretofore, II sun
shine can be admitted to drive out the
darkness and dry up the mold, if prop
er ventilation can make it healthier
for the toiling men and women, If i'm
provement can be made in the moral
surroundings, if children are kept out
of body stunning and mind destroying
factories, and a whole catalogue of
other things remedied, there will be
no appreciate chasm between work
Ing men and women and other mortals.
But this long drawn out strain over
working men, because they are work
ing men, is out of harmony with the
whole makeup of men and the pur-
pose of the Lord. The church which
lends itself to this kind of music is
losing its opportunity and destroying
the possibility ever of finding one.
Mexico Missouri message., 1910-10-27

Ing so earnestly, so pathetically for the
breaking Of the day. The workers
think we are out of touch with them.
They say we are so snug in our assur-
ance of golden city beyond the skies
that we have no thought or passion for
that city which is to come down out of
heaven from God to the people.
Whether that be true or not, it Is time
for us to bestir ourselves, to demon
strate that we are not our of touch
with the masses; that in all their
struggles for juster conditions, for So
cial righteousness, for higher ideals,
the Christian church is with the work
ers."
We wonder sometimes when this
sort of thing is going to stop. The
patronizing air which so many assume
when they begin to talk about the day
laborers is enough to fill those very
laborers with disgust. In the first
place, a lot of sentimental pity is be-
ing wasted over the laboring man.
He asks none of this, and it does him
no good when it is expressed. The
laboring man is the happiest man
alive. Of course, there are a few ex-
ceptions here, just as there are good
many exceptions among those who
have received a self-appointed place
among the gentlemen Of leisure. Ma
ture has no blessing for that which
doesn't do anything. Everything is
life, activity, animation. When a
thing in nature no longer works we
call it dead and begin to search for a
spade to bury it. Nor does God have
blessings for the idler. That isn't the
way he dispenses what is in his hands
He has mapped out six days of every
seven for work, and it is the universal
human experience that, when his COM
rades are kept, the keeper is the hap
pier, even though he doesn't labor the
six days for the sole purpose of being
obedient to the Lord.

No Possible Gulf.

Again, there is not that impossible
gulf between the Christian church
and the common toilers which some
speakers and magazine correspond
ents would have us believe. Some
topics for disquisitions are found in
the rich churches of New York, but
any such are misrepresentation OF
American Christianity as a whole.
The toiler six days in the week is the
backbone of the church on Sunday
and during the week. There is no
better man in church than he who is
engaged in honest industry during the
week. Such a man is providing for
his family. Conscientiously, or uncon.
scientiously, he is obeying the Sab
bath commandment, the great part of
which is to work six days on order to
appreciate a rest on the seventh day.
To claim that the toiling masses, put
ting the noun with it's modifier in quo
tation marks, are out of touch with
the church, is a Islander against these
men who work. There are some, to be
sure, who have a grievance, with or
without foundation; but we cannot
draw a universal conclusion from such
insuff cient data. The working man be-
longs to the church, and the church be-
longs to the working man, and the two
belong to each other, and both belong
to God.-Religious Telescope.

Juror Returns Home.

'It is good to be back in Dallas
again." said John B. Thompson, owner
and manager of the Hotel Gail, to the
Observer reporter last night Mr..
Thompson had just arrived on the
evening train from Portland, where,
for five long weeks he had been serv-
ing as a member of the jury in the
case of the Government against Binger
Hermann. Mr.. Thompson says serving
on a Federal jury in land fraud case
is probably not quite as bad as serv-
ing a term in jail, but that it is the
next thing to 1t. He says the jury was
guarded night and day by two bailiffs,
and the members were not even per-
mitted to read the newspapers until
every line of news and comment con-
cerning the trial had been carefully
clipped therefrom. Mr.. Thompson was
one of the eleven men who stood solid
Iy for conviction of the Ex-Congress-
man, the evidence having been of such
nature as to leave no doubt in his
mind as to the guilt of the defendant.
