ABOUT THE CENSUS.

After the census has been u ken
there are going to be some very
angry people in Denison. The CEN
isus takers will be accused Of in
compentency and many. will declare
that the population is all the way
from five hundred to q Thousand great
er than the enumerators found it.
But the figures will stand.
Probably they will be much nearer
right than people will admit, but I'M
less the people Of Denison cooperate
there are bound to be . number Of
oversights.
The Review had an experience
taking q census Of Denison about q
dozen years ago. Elaborate arrange
ments were made and competent peo-
pie were employed. The first cam
vass showed between twenty-six and
twenty seven hundred people. It was
thought that the re-canvass would in
crease the number by about hum
dred.
But everyone thought Denison was
a town Of from three thousand to
thirty-five hundred. The lowest esti-
mate was three thousand. AZ we did
mot care to be mobbed the result Of
the Review census of 1893 was never
made public until today.
An honest census is always Q disap-
pointment. The disappointment will
be all the greater unless extraordinary
means are taken to assist the enumer.
ators and to get every name that cal
honestly be counted.
4 Denison will be ranked for the mex
decade by the census figures of 1910
It is important that these figures b,
correct.

THE LESSON OF a LITTLE LIFE.

There are some OF uH who are unit

tion. to whom the recent incident at
Rome is the cause OF keenest regret.
Who was to blame. is trivial: wheth-
er the course Of the Catholic or Of
the Methodist was justifable. is in
consequential; what 10 Of importance
10 that from land to land and from
ocean to ocean the smouldering embers
of religious intolerance and distrust
and understanding have been fam
ned into flame.
It Is just two years ago since our
little Frederick left US. two long and
dreary years since the little fellow
said goodbye, two years since the
hope and promise of our lives was
ended. We remember that on that
Easter Day the bells of the Methodist
church were silent, the hymns Of
Hallelujah were unsung and those
dear friends wept with US as the
Angel Of Death took into his arms our
only son. And we remember. too,
that outside the bedroom window.

the sunshiney little head upon its bed

grief streamed unheeded down bis
cheeks. One does not forget such
things.
And later we remember the house
filled with friends and flowers. the
|Catholic church crowded with the
people Of every religious faith and
with those acknowledging no faith at
Iall. We remember the Sabbath still
mess that pervaded Denison. the pray
ers Of preacher ana Of priest, the
mingling tears that knew no church,
no creed, no difference Of station or
Of birth.
One consolation we have tried to
find has been that the little fellow
did not live in vain. That tie eight
sweet years were not unfruitful. that

the people Of Denison to teach . lesson
Of brotherly love. To bring hearts
nearer together, to break down bar

more the lesson that God 10 Love and

the twilights and the darknesses Of

universal God, must not yield to dis
sention or to strife. but remember that
Charity. which is Love. 10 the great
eat Of these. and that the commsad-
ment Of commandments is to Glove
