Wilson said. "I hope it works out all right." '. That might be all right for the sim ple vital staistics about where born, etc. But when the "taker” turns the three-foot page and starts to work ing on housing!

No piped running water? SIX-INCH SERMON By Rev. Robert H. Harper EXALTING THE WORD OF GOD Lesson for August 28: Psalms 19: 7-14. 119:1-8. Memory Selection: Psalm 119:11. Last week we studied the law of God in the universe. Today we think of the moral law for men. In every age men have fixed their standards ot conduct but these standards have been imperfect and ftinmes contra dictory to each other. There could not be a thousand codes. There is but ore code-^-that which centers in the will of God. We find that in the latter part of the 19th Psalm the author turns from material law to the moral law with in. As the law of God for material things is necessary to their existence, the law Within is essential to the well-being of men. The moral law is perfect. After thinking of it, the psalmist prays to be kept from pre sumptions sins: also that the words of his mouth and the meditations of his heart may be acceptable in God’s sight. In the 119th Psalm the writer sings of the blessedness of those who walk in the law of the Lord. They keep his testimonies and they do no un righteousness. The psalmist express es his desire to walk in God’s ways, to observe his statutes, and to have respect unto his commandments. Thus do the ancient song-writers of Israel exalt the Word of GocJ, And we shall be wise to exalt it that we may enjoy well-being and true happiness. Apart from * the Word, men have tried to find happi ness and have failed. They have de fied the law of Gdd and have failed to "get by.” Let us learn of the wis dom of the ages. Let us seek the highest life in the authority of the I Word of God. If Ton Don’t Rend THE CHRONICLE Ton Don’t Get the New* , FOR QUICK i PICK-UP | TRY OUR • TUNE j V...UP„_> COOPER MOTOR CO.

Nichols) Washington, Aug. 22.—Call a meet ing,"^men. This is a warning. The; women are about t<J take over. In fact, the word is out already. The bureau of census which counts noses in the country every 10 years has made an advance survey.^ We men are going to be outnumbered. The skirts will have an advantage of around 300,000 over the pants. The last census, in 1940. showed j the male of our species had half a million advantage. Incidentally, taking a census is no| cheap task. In 1950 it’ll cost $70,000,- 000. In 1940 the cost was $40,000,000, but it wasn't so thorough. Beginning :n April, your Uncle Sam wants to know everything: How many k:ds, i what the old man does, how many; in-laws, where they live, how many toilets inside and out, how many pigs, calves, lambs, and bales of allalla. | When it's all over we expect tc find that we have at least 150,000,000 i people, a gain of 19,000,000 over the 1940 count. According to the census, people that will mean about 50 per sons to the square mile. In 1790. when we first took a census, the density was 4.5 persons. In 1940 it was 44.2. I am old enough to remember when census taking was compara tively simple. As a high school stu dent in Farmer City, 111., I went from house to house with a little note pad asking the neighbors if they had had any kids during the last 10 years. I got $1.50 a day. I had to cheat to make the job last a week. Now the takers get $10 a day. The whole business will start April 1. In the cities it is supposed to be com pleted in two weeks. In the country, a month will be required because of the count of pigs, calves and the al- It’ll take 150,000 "takers” to do the job. Ten thousand folks will be need ed here in Washington to assemble the data and put it into the official record. The 1940 census, for instance, required 40 volumes in fine print and contained four billion facts. It cost a heap of money, too. The new census asks everything, abut the family including breeding, sehooling, servants, your relatives, their relatives, all addresses, salary last place worked, number of carrots and chickens in the back yard. Plus language spoken in the hone and that spoken on the street. Frank Wtlson, who is weary over GREENWOOD COLLEGE OF COMMERCE 205 Textile Building:, Greenwood, S. C.
