RELIGIOUS FOLK IN
CITY ENUMERATED
More Than One Thousand Workeri,
Moitly Women, Taking Count
of Various Beliefs.
ITOT SO EASY, THEIR VERDICT
More than 1,000 workers, the ma
jority of whom are women, yesterday
took the religious census of Omaha.
It was a part of the Billy Sunday
campaign.
The city was divided for this
purpose Into sixteen districts, each
with a superintendent. The dis
tricts were divided Into sections each
with a sectional leader. And the sec
tions were, In their turn, divided Into
other, divisions, with a volunteer
census taker working In eacb divi
sion, calling at every house In the
division assigned to him and noting
on blanks, prepared for the purpose,
the names of all the dwellers in each
house and their religious status.
'Taking the rellejoue census la not as
easy aa It. was cracked up to be," was
the ventral c pin.' on expressed by omn
who aid the most work. Especially dif
ficult waa the work In the rooming house
districts close Into the downtown neigh
borhood. "It seemed as If T nver would get
Started toCay," sold one housewife who
had volunteered for the work. "The tele-
phona Just rang- and rang after I sot I
dreeaed to ttart -Nit and then I had to
see tho groetr, end the butcher, and the
huckster, and the laundry man before I
started."
Yarhnu Desire ' t'eurteer.
Several workers report) doors slammed
in their facoa by Irate men and women
who told them ' it waa none of your buM- J
ness which church I attend. If any.'
Others reported having met with uni
form courtesy.
One dear little church worker was ap
palled to know how faw of her neighbor
were church members.
"I don't ask my roomers what their
religious convictions are," waa the reply j
of many women keeping rooming houses
tn queries regarding the affiliation! of
those In their homes.
Workers assigned to the down-town
apartment houses were especially dlscour
sged. "We tan't expect the clerk to
know what church the people attend, and
we can't reach them ourselves even In
the evening, because most of them go
to the picture shows," said one.
Mre. Nellie Pattern said one woman
told her she 'Was an old hen and ought
to be at home," when she called. "I
was hurt, but I didn't mind it I felt
eorry for her," said Mre. Fatton.
