 An appeal has also been sent to the churches of the town appealing to them to assist in the census work. Governor Holcomb recognizes that among the members and attendants of the churches there are people whose influence as a whole can do more than any other body of citizens toward helping in the work. Women as we'll as the men are asked to use their influence to make easy and complete the gathering of the census. In closing his message the governor says, T have not forgotten that our God Is still the God of love, and our Prince the Prince of Peace. I would have the earnest prayers of all directed to the main tenance of peace; I would have them seek for everyone in auth ority the full est measure of divine guidance. But, as I believe that this country has a mission to perform in the world, so believe that it is the duty of every one who claims citizenship in it to so 5ct that its destiny shall not be stayed.'
