General Notes.
The pastor will be out Of town all
of next week conducting evangelistic
services at the East Macon Presby-
terrain church, Macon, Ga. 1t is the
custom of the Presbytery to assign
each minister in its bounds at least
one church each year for the pur-
pose of conducting a meeting.
The deacons of the church had
their regular monthly meeting on
Wednesday. The treasurer reported
that the church was entirely out of
debt to begin the new church year
on April LIST. The painting of the
church will be undertaken at once,
due to the pledges made towards re-
pairs. The pastor is very much graft
fed at the liberality of the people in
their pledges to benevolence for the
coming year. When our members,
counting children, contribute an av-
erage of $40 per member towards
carrying the Gospel to the uttermost
parts of the earth its shows that we
are responding to our Lords com
mand, "Ge we into all the world and
preach the Gospel to every creature. F"

made to the various unions, the
church societies, all Of the women's
clubs. the business mems clubs, social
effort will be made to preclude solici-
tation of any person more than one
time. Those contributing through an

NlfsiiisN ANNhSl
Census bureau officials have given
the country on insta'lment of what
may be called some Of the near facts
of the country's growth during the
last decennium, as disclosed by the
canvass shey have been making,
They are near facts, rather than
facts themselves, for the reason that
the returns are not yet complete.
But the census bureau Officials
think the returns they have in hand
are 50 per cent Of complete, and
sible to make estimates that will not
far miss the facts.
The most notable conclusion Of
fered is that. for the first time in
its history, the country's urban pop
ulation exceeds its rural population,
and this too, when the population
of towns having population OF
$500 or less is counted as part of
The rural population. The urban
population is placed at 54,796, 100
and the rural at 5O,972,OOO, making
the country's total population 1885,
76S.l00, an increase Of 1875 $40
during the ten years. OF this in
crease. all but 1.623,040 is credited
to the cities and towns of more
than $500 population. Thus, while
there has been an actual increase
in rural population. there has been,
relatively TO urban population a
decrease, as is shown more explc
lilly in the statement that, for the
first time in the history of the coun-
try, the urban population exceeds
the rural population. Strictly rural
population, or that which is found
on the farms and ranches is shown
to have increased by 80 per cent
village population, any town of
$500 or ,ess being counted as such)
by AZ per cent, while the urban
population (that of cities and Of
towns of more than 5000 shows
an increase Of 25.2 per cent. This
means that urban population has
Increased seven and half times as
fast as rural population.
Looking into the part .culars Of
urban growth, one sees some exem-
plifications of the biblical assurance
that to them that have shall be
given, and that from them that have
not shall be taken, or of Spencers
law Of integration. With one ex-
ception, the larger, the city the
larger its growth, apparently In
cities of more than $4,000, the in
crease has been 26,4 per cent in
cities of less than $4,000 but of
more than 10000 it has been 26.7
per cent, in cities Of less than 10000
but more than $500 1t has been
lS.S' while in the towns of less than
$500 ii has been AZ per cent. The
larger cities have recruited from the
smaller ones, as well as from the
farms. while. in each descending
rank. the cities and towns have
taken from those next below them
as well as from the countryside.
Thus the process of integration. II
Is emphasized by the comparisons
made with the figures of the pre-
ceding census, for these show
