The Numbering of the People, by George Allen 64876 [Subtitle: A Sermon in conjunction with the census of 1861 preached in St. Thomas' Church, Islington, on Sunday Evening, April 7] [Link: http://www.gutenberg.org/6/4/8/7/64876 ] [Files: 64876-0.txt; 64876-h.htm] For those wishing to know: England has a census every years, and this sermon was preached on the census day for teh 1861 census. He has various thoughts for his congregation in this homely talk, and uses the census as the basis to get people to think how they are living. He also explains why taking the census won't lead to the judgement of God on the nation, apparently something many were worried about. All the best, David, Overcast England PS. Our next census is tomorrow, March 21st.
