CHRISTIANITY MAKING
PROGRESS IN BURMA
(By Associated Press)

Rangoon, Dec. 1.-That Chris
tianity has been making steady
progress in Burma was indicated
at a conference of about 80
American mi Jssionarles recently
held in this city.From the las,
government census, it is apparent
that the Christian religion has
reached one in fifty Of the whole
population Of the country.
1t is in educational work that
the most definite progress was
made during the year. Judson
College has more than regained
the enrolment which was lost
through the student strike Of
1920. This institution is now
co49ducational, and SO percent
cf its present student body is
made up Of Christians. The COM
pletion Of the science depart
ment in equipment and staff has
made possible the offering of a
bachelors degree in science. The
Anglo-vernacular high schools
of the mission are rapidly be-
coming standardized.
A mission agricultural school
is being established at Pyinmana
for the purpose Of training poor
boys to earn their living in farm
work. Every student is to be
required to do a certain amoun:
|of practical work while in
school.
The Buddhists Of Burma arc
recognizing that the Christians
are outstripping them in the
matter Of schools. . Ottama, g
Buddhist monk who is one Of the
leaders in the nationalist

to give more attention to educa
tional endeavor, pointing out

TAKINe The CENSUS NOT
EASY IN PALESTINE
by Associated Press}


Jerusalem, Dec. n:-PaAestin~
lans arg temperm entally afraid
Ct the census. In the days Of
Abdul Hamid and other Ottoman
rulers a census was taken only
III order to increase taxation or
to conseript the men for military
service. The pre-war days are
still fresh in peoples minds, and
therefore most of them today pre-
fer to remain uncounted. Be
cause of this, and the feeling
which has run very strong
among the Mohammedan and
Christian populations on account
Ct the Balfour declaration, the
present government s demand for
census has met with consider
able opposition.
The government evidently has
been perfectly sincere in It's
purpose to find out the total
population Of Palestine with the
primary object oftldeterminlng
who is eligible to vote in forth
comingteleetion for members of
the legislative councils Of the
government. However, every
sort Of opposition has been en-
countered, both from the inte1Il-
gent and the ignorant. The Mo
hammedan-Christian society first
sent out manifesto to it's con
stituency, advising them to do
what they could to help the cen
sus along, but later the society
retracted it's manifesto. This re
suited in open opposition to the
census, especially in Nablus, the
ancient Schechem
The government began By

imprisoning a dozen notables,
but it finally changed its policy
released ali who had been arrest
ed. and even consented to the
demand to enumerate all absent
! Syrians, which had been put foc.
ward by the society.
! When the day Of the census
arrived all the government
schools Of the country were clos
ed so that the teachers could b.
used as enumerators. SO strong
was he feeling IN some quarters
however, that in Jerusalem three
Mohammedan and two Christian
teachers refused to assist IN tnt
work, and were thereupon dis
i missed from service. This re
suited in a strike on the part 0:
all the boys in the school wher'
these teachers held classes.

lTAWBAPOULTRY CLUBS
HAVE GOOD YEAR

Raleigh. \. c., Dec. 1.-Report-
mo a net profit OF S6,169.o1 as
result OF the poultry club work /;
ot The Agricultural EXTENSION
Service IN Catawbd County this
wear. county agent J. W. Hend- !
rjcks states that this IS the best
record yet made IN his count,
since the poultry club work was
inaugurated a number OF years
400. Mr.. Hendricks states that
he has 1O3 poultry club members
enrolled in his organized WORK
and that a large percentage Of
| this number have 50 handled
their poultry that excellent re
FIRMS have been secured. He
finds that work with poultry IS
probably the most popular club
project conducted by the ENten-
sion Service IN his county. He
states that this is largely due to
the fact that it does not require
much capital to start with and
at the same time nets quick re-
turns.
For the year 1922 the 103 poul-
try club members started With
total Of 1.13o chickens. The,
now have on hand 1929 birds.
The value of the increase III tn olr
flock has amounted to 2,1o3.5O,
the value Of eggs and chickens
sold for breeding amounts to
l2O455; the value Of the eggs
and chickens sold on local
markets amounts to 2,74o.ll; !;
prizes won this year amount to
$S1 1.435, making the total receipts
for the members reach the good
figure lof 81 ,52O.b1. Deductlny
the cost Of the feed used and
the eggs used for Matching pur-
poses by the members amounting
to s1.35065,, the total net profit
gained by the county for this
work is $6,169.S7.
In his report to the headquar-
ters Of the Extension Service here
in Raleigh, Agent Hendricks
says: 1T is very seldom that
a number drops out once he GETS
started into poultry club work,
but mstea dhe thinks he has the
very best flock in the county
and works all the harder. We
have 80 breeds represented IN

and he went up into the pulpit and
ranted and roared and ragged a good

committed daily by the heather in
equatorial Africa.
"Then when he finished, he said, as
he came down, wiping his hot face:
" There; how was that for a SER
mon?
" 1t was mighty fine,' said his wife,
But you told all about the sins Of the
natives away off in Africa and never
a word about the sins of the folks
