Census Begins
By Staff CORRESPONDENT

Washington, D. CA request
for full cooperation with census
enumerators was sent out from
Washington, this week, by Edward
Lawson, consultant on Negro af-
fairs for the Bureau of the Census,
in which he stressed the impor-
lance of the information which is
to be collected.
Mr.. Lawson said in part:
"How many Negroes are there
in the United States? How many
have work and how many are on
relief? How many have migrated
from South to North, from country
to city? Which types of Negro
owned business are increasing and
which are decreasing? What pro-
portion of Negro farm operators
are tenants or sharecroppers?
Use Census as Guide
"Of course, there are hundreds
of other broad plans for social bet
torment in which the data gather
ed by the Census Bureau will be of
inestimable value. Important move
ments like Social Security, unem-
ployment relief, and the whole agri-
cultural program will undoubtedly
depend upon Census-gathered fig
ures for guiding facts.
"For these reasons the Negro
citizens of America should have a
special interest in the Census
enumerations. The wisdom with
which the future course of the Ne
gro American can be planned will
depend upon the accuracy of the
figures resulting from the Census,
and this in turn will depend upon
how willingly and completely all
the questions asked are answered.
"By Act of Congress it is unlaw-
full for the Census Bureau or it's
enumerators to disclose any of the
facts they gather to anyone, not
even to another government depart
ment. Knowing this, Negroes
throughout the country have ev-
cry reason to take pride in provid-
ing information needed for the
Census. This does not mean that
they should pad" their income, in
fate the value of their business, or
give incorrect facts about the ex-
tent of their education for the sake
of making a "good record" But it
does mean that they should answer
the Census questions promptly and
accurately" 49,.
Locally, the business census got
under way without any Negroes
employed. According to leaders in
the Democratic party, the names of
two persons were slated as choices
but neither of them accepted, One
was out of the city and another had
other employment. 1t is expected,
the leaders say, that a number of
persons will be employed when the
population census begins In the
spring.

Southeastern Europe's Wheat
Crop Nearly One-Third

BUDAPEST, July 20.-CP-The

vest at 10000 metric tons cons.
pared to the average yearly produc.
ton of around 5000, 900 tons.
The situation in Rumania Is re.
Elected in other southeastern coun-
tries where the poor prospects are

cially to Germany. Last winters
unprecedented cold and the later

acute situation.
Wheat experts here figure Ger.
many must import at least 1000, 900
tons of wheat this year. Ordinarily
Rumania alone could supply half
this amount; Hungary, Yugoslavia
and Bulgaria the rest.
But in Belgrade it was announced
Yugoslavia would have to import
wheat for her own needs this year
and Hungary has initiated official
steps to insure sufficient grain for
her own people. -.

Sunday School Lesson

times been called "A Modern Book
OF job" Tennyson wrote this poem,
deeply moved by the death Of his
friend Arthur Henry HaIlam. In
enc section he is replying to some.
n who has expressed the con.
ventional idea that doubt is Devil
born" In this he says:
l know not: one indeed I knew
In many a subtle question
versed,
Who touch'd a Earring Tyre at
first,
But ever strove to make it true;
Perplext in faith, but pure in
deeds,
At last he beat his music out.
There lives more faith in hon.
est doubt,
Believe me, than in half the creeds.
He fought his doubts and gath.
er'd strength,
He would not make his judy
ment bling,
He faced the spectres of tn e
mind
And laid them; thus he came at
length
To find a stronger faith his own,
And Power was with him in
the night,
Which makes the darkness and
the light,
And dwels not in the light alone.
AS Job comes to faith and finds
the approval Of Jehovah, his tri-
umph is in contrast with the dis
comfort of his plausible friends
who had tried to cheer him with
weak and superficial words a n d
who in their shallow pretense OF
faith had rebuked him for his
doubts. The wrath Of Jehovah is
kindled against them because they
had not spoken of Him the thing
that was right.
We may well pray for a sus-
taiEing faith like Jobs and seek
it instead of being satisfied with
the plausible platitudes of those
who have never cried to God out
of the depths or found His answer.
The Wilmington morning star., 1940-07-21
BY MILAN e. GILROY, D. D
Editor of Advance
Tovf. Yoh Ao.1.12


We have seen Job in the depth
OF, doubt, distressed by the intensity
OF his disasters and sufferings,
more distressed than helped by the
complacent and futile counsel of
his friends who are incapable of
approaching the depth and nature
OF his troubles, and tempted by the
whole situation to Course God and
die"
Here in this lesson we see him
emerging from his troubles and
his doubts into the strength of faith.
His faith is so strong that now,
instead of cursing God and dying,
he feels that he can trust God
even though He should slay him.
It should be noted that it was
faith that Job attained. He did not
find a solution of the problem Of
suffering, and no one has found a
solution. It is a great mystery that
still goes unsolved. Jesus went to
Calvary, praying earnestly that He
might be spared the Cross, but He
also found. in the hour of Gethse-
name the faith that sustained Him
and that enabled Him to believe
that in His sufferings and death
He was fulfilling the will Of an all
wise Father and His purposed of
redemption.
All this is greatly at variance
with the popular idea Of doubt. The
common notion is that we should
suppress it, that we should not
allow any questioning to enter our
minds concerning God and His pro-
violence. But the book of Job and
many other parts of the Bible
speak differently. They suggest
that we should face the problems
of life earnestly and sincerely, and
that. if we do thus face them we
shall come not to a conventional
belief that has little reality, but
that we shall come to real faith.
All this has never been more
finely expressed in modern times
than in Tennyson's great poem.
In Memoriam, which has some
