kings temerity in causing Joab to
enumerate the people for the purpose
OF learning the number of the fighting
men. .....
In Philadelphia there were many who
feared that some such mark, of the
Deity's anger would be visited upon
the people If the 100 census were taken.
In a little less than three years befell
an event which convinced these timid
ones that their fears had been justified.
In 1903 came the terrible pestilence of
yellow fever. which invaded virtually
every home in the city, filling grave :
yards and decimating families.
Since 1870 no decade has passed
without the numbering of the people
as the constitution enjoins. Philadel-
phia's growth has been rapid. BY 1900
