In these ways the freight and passenger ac~ommodations will be very greatly enlarged. A corresponding impr 've­ment will also take place in the electric light service.

The Fries Mills in the heart of Salem show their usual activity and the Electric Power House beside them is preparing s till further to revolutionize the industry .of our all' ady busy town . As an example of this fact we have the new Knitting Mills, opp()c;ite Salem Square, con­ducted by Mr. Conrad L elll ly. Be ' ide engaging

• a new force of employees. they exhibit a beau ­tiful industry worked by electric power.

In the heart of Salem, another institution is gaining strel1j:{th and influence fur good, the Men's League is consta ntly enlarging its influence. $225 worth of books have been added to their Library during the past year.

In the centre of tl e Southsid e, south of Sa­lem, stand the Chair Works which are greatly enlarging their capacity and are busy late into the night. The manufacturing end of the South­side is assuming an activity which surprise? the VIsItor. The Spach Wagon Works and Roller Mill are located there and the Southside Cotton Mills run regularly both day and night. A large number of tenements are to be built to accom­modate the growing number of employees.

A little further on stands tbe large Reservoir which was completed during the past year and is now in use, supplying the town with an abun­dant amount of excellent water. Within the wide surface of Salem p~lice jurisdiction, the street and lighting facilities have been carefully superintended. The chief improvements, of the year, in these respects have been the grading and cutting of West Street, and the building of the 'new culvert on Mill Street.

An improvement in which the whole commu­nity has reason to delight is the new building added to the Twin City Hospital, almost doub­ling its capacity and giving the children a beau­tiful ward and an ample solarium or sun cham­ber. While our sisters and physicians have given strong support to this needed charity, the Salem Home has likewise been supported as a welcome refuge for young and old.

Having thus looked over Winston-Salem from North to South and East to West, we are prepared to thank God for his goodne s to our city during the past year and take courage for the ftkure.

The Salem congregation whose historic church we are met on this do ing evell ing of 1899, is a part of the Moravian Unity throu h­out the world.

The great event of the Unity's year has been the General Synod held at Herrnhut, Saxony, from May 16th to June 30th. Very imlJortant measures were considered at this Synod, at which five of our Southern Brethren were pres­ent: Bishop Edward Rondthaler , Rev. J ame . E. Hall, Rev. E. S . Crosland , Mr. John W . Fries and Rev. J ohn H. Clewell , a ad isory member. The th orollgh acceptance of th e Bi­ble as being God's inspired Word and of the great doctrine of the evangelical faith was one leading feature of the Synod. The careful re-

adjustment of our Missions was another a nd the third was the governmental change by which the Provincial Elders' Confere nces of th four

THE WACHOVIA MORAVIAN.

The money for the lots ($300) and for the church, will all be raised by private gifts, as the Salem Congre· gation is unable in view of recent deficits, to make any appropriation therefore.

Br. Henry Snyder, Winston, N. C. has been el ect d Treasllrer, and it is earne tly asked that readers of the WACHOVIA MORAVIAN remem­ber this new enterprise in th eir gifts to the Lord's cause. For five years a growing S. S. has been conducted in the Fairview neighborhood in a rented building, the basement of which is used as a tobacco store­house, while many of the broken window-panes have been replaced by sheets of tin, the whole being a most unsuitable and inadequate place for this important branch of our work.

FRIEDBERG.

During the month of December the well for the new parsonage was dug, additional lumber was placed on the ground and sixteen two horse wagons were engaged in hauling brick, so this important and long talked of work for Friedberg may be said to be well under way.

In other respects December was an encouraging month, as sixteen persons were received into the church three by baptism, ten by confirma­tion, two by right hand of fellow­ship, and one by re-admission.

?>IT. BETHEL-WILLOW HILL.

Christmas at Mt. Bethel was made an extra happy occasion by gifts from Salem friends. The addition to the old church being completed the ex-ercises were held in the new build­ing.

Willow Hill was presented with a neat communion service by the Salem Relief Crew. This Church is now fully furnished and paid for.

A very good attendance at the January communion in the colored church, and the reception of a mem o ber, Mattie Belle Hairston, made a good beginning for 1900.

ALEM.

The Chri tmas and New Year's season passed very happily in our congregation. The church.had been very beautifully decorated. Mrs. Clewell kindly made the plan and Mr. Allen Spach and others faithfully carried it out. Musicians, ush _rs and sacristans rendered excellent services so that great congregations wer~

handled without friction or awkward­ness and everyone seemed pleased and happy. As Christmas and New Year's Eve both came on Sunday' members who e bu -ioe 's often hin­ders them from enjoying the services of those days were able to be present. The Sunday Schools of the congre-

gation were at their very best in their Christmas Exercises. They are a noble testimony to the growth of the congregation: Home, Elm Street, East Salem, Centerville, Calvary, Christ, Fairview and Colored. The superintendents, mostly b ret h r en long in charge of these schools are very efficient, the teachers are a fine band of workers, so that the singular excellence of the Christmas enter­tainments may be regarded as the natural outcome of a whole year's faithfulness.

'The Children's Memorabilia is be­coming with each year a larger ser­vice and many parents are beginning to attend with t heir children. It is a lovely sight to see groups of little children standing around the com­munion table as they receive from the pastor the annual card of New Year's remembrance. The 8 0' clock mem­orabilia service was as usual very full. The passage from 1800 to 1900 gave occasion for a review of the century as well as of the year just over. The mid-night meeting seems to have lost its spectacular charm and has become a quiet half-hour,of praise and prayer in a church which is no longer over­crowded. The New Year's sermon was preached on the daily text: "Lo I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world." Mat. 28:20.

The Prayer-week services were very encouraging. They were arrang­ed on the subject: "How to become a true Christian and how to remain a Happy Christian." Br. Howard E . Rondthaler spoke on Conversion: Dr. H. A. Brown of the 1st. Baptist Church, on Confession of Christ: Br' J. F. McCuiston, on the Private Means of Grace: Rev. R. E. Caldwell of the Presbyterian Church, on the Public Means of GraEe and Br. A. D Thceler, on Christian Activity. The co-operation of the young people in the singing was a delightful pleasure.

On Friday, January 19th. the Young Men's Missionary Society waS held. A good collection was gather­ed and . an admir'able address was made by Br. J as. E. Hall.

Recent as the beginning of the New Year has been, the congrega­tion has already suffered several sore> bereavements. On New Year's day we laid a beloved brother, Joseph H. Stockton, to rest and on Saturday, J an. 20th. a very earne t Christian worker, r. Mary Anna Crouse, was tenderly committed to her grave in our lov Iy God ' s Acr~.

THE WACHOVIA MORAVIAN.

Mission Work in Bohemia and Moravia.

REV. JAMES E. HALL.

Members and Friends of the Young Men's Missionary Society :

I n com pliance with th e invitation of the Ex· ecutive Committee of your organiza tion, lap · pear before you th is evening to deliver the an­niversary addre s.

I was asked to take as my subject th e Miss ion which our Church is at this time carrying for­ward in those geographical divisions of th e great Austrian empire known as Bohemia and Moravia. In those countries, abou t 400 years ago . th e Brethren's Unity, as an independent and self.gove rning Church, flourish ed like a tree planted beside the rivers of water. In the period of the anti-reformation , however, from 1520 to 1630, it was plucked up by the roots and cast out of its native land . But it did not die. It too k root in oth r soils, and is to-day again, und el- th blessing of Jod. as the rent;!w­ed nily of th e Brethren, a noble tree of many wide-~pr adin~ branches. In seeking, then, my brethren, to Will Boh emia and Moravia for Chri~ t. we are but going back to the ancient and ancestral home sea ts to rec laim our own.

Nominal civilization and nomin al christian­ity ('xist thro ughout the Austrian Empire it is true, but the Romi sh Church is the established church of the land, and in no other country does the Jesuitical priesthood exercise a sadder influence upon the masses than our beloved in Bohemi~ and Moravia.

Bro. Theophilus Reichel, our minister at Pottenstein, when speaking of the people of that community, remarked: "They are good Catholics." Of this I saw something on Sun­day, July 2d, IR99. when on a visit to that part of our Bohemian work. The service at the Cathulic church was at 9 0' clock a. m. I had been out early that morning, strolling alone along the banks of the Wilde Adler. As I returned the people were streaming from all directions to the commodious church that stood in the center of the village, hard by the spot where our ancient brethren used to meet to worship God. I concluded to go in. I found the church packed to its utmost capacity, even the vestib~le was full of standing people. There was reverence and devoutness apparently, but as soon as the service was concluded, the per­fume of the incense was lost in the fumes of the

vt.ry hearty service of Satan. There is, how­ever. a hungering and a thirsting after spiritual life and happiness which manifests itself here and there, but the poor, misguided people are held !n the grip of a great fear and dread as in a vice that is screwed up hard upon them. They have been all their lifetime subject to bondage, and now if they make the least effort towards religious liberty and freedom they bring down

the anathemas of the papacy upon th eir heads. The great purpose of our Church is to bring to the people in this so· called Christian but really churchless land, the pure and saving gospel of J eSl1 s.

In Pottensteill. Bohemia, th e seed ·corn of the Protestant Church of th e Brethren in Austria was planted, and took root on the 9th day of F bruary in the year I 69 in the house of one Suchaneh, a potter by trade, where Karl Motl and W nzel Lochmann, two Bible colporteurs, were holding a religious service. There were only ten hearers present, but so powerfully did Motl set forth the blessed gospel truth that it laid hold upon the hearts of Franziska Sucha­nek and Barbara Novak, and they were happi­ly converted unto Christ.

Twenty months later, namely: on the 16tl of October, in the year 1870, Bro. Wund~rJing organized, at Pottenstein, the first congregation of the Renewed Brethren' s Church, with a membership of 27 souls. Thus it plea!'ed God after many years of waiting, in a locality near to the spot w here Gregory the Patriarch and his companions set up for themselves a spiritual home, thus I say it pleased God to begin an answer to the prayers of Com enius. The work so hopefully begun, almost under the hadow of Lititz Castle, and but a short distance from K unwaJd and Lhota, has never gone backwards. The progress made in the years that followed was not phenomenal, but it was healthy, and now, after a lapse of 30 years, we have a widely developing field of christian activity in which there are 10 congregations, 373 communicants and a total membership of 597 souls, accordin~ to the Statistics of Jan. I, 1899.

It is worth our while to remember that the first definite step towards the founding of the Bohemian Mission was taken by American Moravians. The proposal was made by the American delegation to the General Synod of 1869, and, having been favorably acted upon by that body the first congregation was organized in the course of the ~ollowing year, as already mentioned, and the first pastor, in the person of Bro. Eu~ene Schmidt, "as appointed in the ye ar 1872. The progress of the work met with a multitude of hindrances, and the opposition to it, which came from several directions, was very persistent and fierce. The chief opposi­tion was, however. as we would naturally sup­pose, on the part of Romish officials and priests. The latter inveighed against it from their pul­pits as a work of the devil, while the former tried to crush it by means of the civil law. Our missionary and his unordained assistants, the Brn. Hartwig and Peter, were obliged to hold the services in private houses, an9. only those could attend who came with an invitation card that had been furnished for that purpose. The pri ests continued to threaten, restrain and even coerce t~eir people. They heaped mockery, and emptied the very gall of thei r hearts upon this growing work of God. The police kept an ever watchful eye upon all the proceedings, and wee prepared upon the most frivolous pretexts to break up the meetings and carry off the min: ister to imprisonment and bonds. But the hand of God was in this movement of his people, and it .p rospered in the face of every difficulty and

all adverse circumstances. In a few years, how­ever, an era of greater freedom and of enlarged privileges and opportunities dawned. Thi s brig-hte r era began with the 30th of March, 1880, 1 I years after the sowing of th e firs t seed, when , by a minister ia l order of the Austrian Governm ent , the Protes tan t Chu rch of th e Brethren in Austria was erected into an inde­pend nt Church, with rights equal to all other Churche ' in a ll kingdoms and cou ntries rep re ­sented in the I mperial Parli ament.

As an immediate resul t of this recognition by the State. 2 parishes w re fo rmed. as the Govern­ment requi red, viz: Pottenste in ·L ndskron and D auhe. The Gener::!. l Synod Of 1899, in view of th e growth and future prospects of the work, passed resol utions I oki ng towards th e ea rl y s tablish ­ment of four and possibly fiv e parishes out of the two unwieldy ones as h retofore existing.

Our present minis terial force in Bohem ia and Moravia is composed of seven brethren, of whom five ' are ordain d . Th ey are men of ability, intelligence. ed ucal ion and standing. They are very busy men and th ey are very de­voted to th eir work. They a re also very genial, and not of the six with wh om I become ac quainterl was in the lea t re:erved or uncom­panionable. They are genprally spea king men of quick movements, not nervous but energetic. They walk fast, they talk fast. My! but they do greet one hear~ily! They give you a hand shake that makes your fing-ers ache. They may take you into their arms, too, for that matter, and imprint a kiss upon your cheeks, first upon your right and then upon your left. They install you into the best chair or you must take a place beside them on the lounge. They are untiring in their efforts to make you comfortable and at home. And, oh, I shall never forget that dainty little room. so delight­fully cosy and comfortable, that Bro. Reichel was at so much pains to provide for me in the humble home of one of our brethren in Potten­stein. because he did not want me to go to the village hotel and he had no room he could spare in his own house.

H you will excuse the digression I will just say a word or two more about this room to which I have alluded . To reach it I came in at the front door, and stood in an entry that was paved with brick, Here, good night was said, after sundry instructions were given, and I went up a rather rough stairway which seemed to have been made of timber for the most part hewn out with an axe. Then, coming into the 10ft I entered a door to my right. It was a small door, but it ushered me into a very pleas­ant little room, which was, perhaps, 8x8 feet square, and, when standing upon the floor, I could touch the ceiling. There was a tiny table upon which to place the candle with which I had made my way up the stairs. Then I sat down upon the only chair and leisurely took in my surroundings . A window of four small panes would admit the morning light; there were several nice hooks fastened into the plank walls upon which to hang one's clothes. There was a common box for a washstand, containing an old-fashioned bowl and pitcher, and a towel was lying beside them. A small bed occupied the remaining corner, with a white and spot-

fHE W ACHOVIA MORAVIAN

lessly clean spread upon it . There was no car­pet on the fl oor, no pictures on the walls, no stove to warm th e cold air in th e winter t ime , but there wa clean lin ess. Look at the floor, th e cei ling, the walls, th e table, the bed, the win dow, a ll were beautifully clean. aoel the clean liness made me feel comfortable. and th love of those who had provided for me so kindly made me feel a t home. I was weary after a long- tramp that day over th e Lititz hills, and I soon retired; not, how ver, until I had pray­ed God to bless the kind and lovin~ fri ends who had taken me so affectionately to th >ir hea rt: . There was not a bro th tr with whom I b came acq uainted that did not seem disposed to be at th e greatest pains to make me conten ted, comfortable, happy and welcome. And as 1 parted from th em, o ne by o ne, I felt that I was being separated from th ose in whose hearts love was a prevai ling quality.

The activities of o ur Bohemian missionaries are manifold and very divers ified. Preaching the Go 'pel is th e first and chief duty to be per­formed and to do this in a consci entious man­ner and to th e greatest possible advantage they do not spare themselves. They have, also, a great many instruction hours of variolls kind s to hold, and they teach the people to sing our beautiful hymns and tunes . They have very much to do in connection with the orphanages, a branch of the Bohemian work of a charitable nature and of untold ble ising. Very many poor children are left absolutelr destitute of homes and friends to care for them. In our orphanages at Boemish-Rothwasser, Potten­stein and Dauba a limited number, possibly as many as 75, find a refuge, where, above all else, they have the benefit of Christian training and Christian instruction from those who. love them .. Still another important branch of· the work in which Bro. Mickulastic and Bro. Van­cura are chiefly engaged is that of translating. Bro. Vancura, of Jungbunzlau, translates chiefly from German into Bohemian, and Bro. Micku­lastic, of Wildenschwert, from English into Bo­hemian. Bro. Mickulastic is not only thoroughly acquainted with the German and Bohemian, the latter being his mother tongue, but he is very well versed in English also, and is, in con­sequence, apart from his other qualifications a very valuable man for this mission field. He translates, in addition to small story books and rP.iigious tracts, some of the best English and American gospel hymns into Bohemian; and as I sat in his study one evening, writing let­ters home, I presently heard voices in another part of the house break forth into song. The melody sounded strangely famili ar in my ear s, and I recognized at once a sweet and beautiful Gospel hymn. "Bro. Mickulastic," I sclid, ,I that is one of our ' America n tunes." .. Ob, yes," he replied, "I like some of them very much, and have translated the words into Bo­hemian, and, of course, I adopted th e melodies too." The hymn to which I listened that July evening, in the parsonage in Wildenshwert, was composed by Mrs. Elizabeth Prentiss, and set to music by the Rev. Howard Doane. You will certainly recognize it now as I read the opening lines:

" More love, 0 Christ, to thee More love to thee."

Colportage is stil l another branch 01 C hris­tian activity that is carried on with good and far-r aching results in Bohemia and Moravia. This is pioneer work. indeed, and, in fact, and finds its way into the homes of the peasants who live in th e village. , and th( se of the arti­sans who live in the towns and cit ies , and of the mas es everyw here . The colpon III'S distribute the Bibl and religious books and tract ' . They read the script ure to th e pe pIe in their humes, converse with them for peae and pardon. ' ome of the m mbers C)f our congregat:oll are men who follow this important ca lling anci rank, at the same time, as as. istant to th "' pa: tor. They hold meetings in the past r 's air ' nce . nd con · <\L1 t public IJrayer servic s and Bible readi ngs. I be ' me per ol1<l l1 y acquain ted with two breth­ren who belong to t his lass of worker '. The one a n assistant to Bro. R eichel in his R ich­enau congregation, is a v ry warm ·hearted christi an brother. He con ucted u to points 0/ inter t in th e tow n, and th n , on pa rting~ gave u: a truly Bohemian fa r well and the double kiss of fraternal love and peace. The oth er is a n assistant to Bro. Mickulastic in Wil­de nschwert . H e h,as se rved the Master many years in faithtul colportage work, and has made experiences which try men's souls. H e feels very ~rateful to the brethren and isters on this side of the sea. and he said to me as we grasped each other's hands for the last time: II Take the greetings of Frantisek March to all those who love Jesus. "Upon a card which he placedl in my hand I found carefully written. in Boh~ mian, the words of Acts 20:32: "I commend! you to God, and to the word of his grace, which are able to build you up and to give YOll an inheritance among all them that are sanctified."

The piety and simplicity of these humble workers for God are indeed beautiful, their faith and hopefulness are so grand, and their love and devotion are simply heroic. They are men of the stamp of Jacob Bilek, who re­mained faithful through tortures to his Bishop John Augusta, and suffered 13 years of impris­onment in a dungeon of Purglitz Castle rather than deny his heavenly Master.

The meeting places are not, as a rule, ade· quate for present needs, and, in some instances, they are situated in unfrequented localities, and are, furthermore, very difficult of access. Of course, we understand that people in Europe are', generally speaking, much more accustomed to conditions of this kind than we Americans are. vVhen vi siting these secluded retreats one instinctively recalls to mind what they have read of the tim es of yore, when the brethren, as was the case in Lei tomischl, during the perse­cution, maue their way throug h a secret trap door in the fl o r into the ba ement of the house in .. 'hich they met, and th ere, in constant fear of apprehension, celebrat d the H oly S acra­ment. and lifted up their souls in impassioned prayer to the God of justice and of right. In une in tance I was conducted by a brother away from the more public part of the town under an . arch that spanned a narrow street, and then . through a still more narrow and deserted alley, unt il we arrived at and entered an ordinary door in a long row of houses, and, finally, alter going through a dark passage, reached the '

CHIPS FROM HISTORIC TIMBER.

Similarity of OrJ~ln and ntft'erence In Develop­ment In Herrnhut and Salem.

Paper read b)1 Miss Etta Sha./fne'1' before the Wachovia Historical Society, Oct. 20, I899.

In the beginning- of the 18th century. axony was already an o ld cou ntry, a nd had ma'lyof the advantag-es gained by civilization. Dr sden was the royal city, and at that time Nichola L ewis, Count Zinzendorf, was a councillor at the court of Augustus th e Strong. This had 11 0t been his choice, and his heart turned to his home and the scenes of his boyhood . His g'1 and mother lived at Gross Hennersdorf, and likewise owned Berthelsdorf, which he boug ht from her. and there with the help of his fri nd, pastor Rothe, he worked for Christ among his people.

J n 1722 Christian David brought the Neissers and Michael Ja schke from Sehlen in Moravia, and Count Zinzendnrf allowed them to build their first house on his possessions, . up the hill from Berthelsdorf to the southwest of the HUI­berg, the site of H errnhut to-day. There the refugees commenced a settlement in a safe land in the midst of a God-fearing- people.

Thirty years la tl' r when Bishop Spangenberg reconnoitered inN l) rth Carolina ther· were only a few pionet' r settlers and many native redmen. In 1766 our brethr n found in Salem's location an a ')iding place in an uncultivated, thinly-po pulated country. It is true Bethabara and Bethania had bt!ell establi 'hed and were small villages at no great distance, but there were few signs of civilization and very little safety. When th ey needed groceries, salt, or anything they c0uld not raise by farming or obtain by huntin~. they were obliged to make long and perilous journeys to Fayetteville, or even as far as Charleston.

Herrnhut and Salem are Moravian towns, both begun by the Moravians. laid off with the typical central square, around which cluster the cI urch, church-schools, choir-houses, etc. The customs originally were the same. OUf people here for several generations lived a life imported from Germany. The quaint tories which are handed down from our grandparents and great-grandparents could be almost fitted into the life ill Herrnhut to-day_

But the greatest likeness is that our forefath­ers wrought and builded in faith. Minor details may have been different, but we can truly say that Herrnhut and Salem were founded in the same way. We can linger a few moments over the two names - Herrnhut, "under the Lord's protection and on the Lord's watch." as we find it defined in a letter from Mr. Heitz. the steward, to Count Zinzendorf; and Salem which means" peace. " ,

It was a deep-rooted faith in and love for Jesus Christ that was the motive power in the hearts of these men and women on both sides of the broad Atlantic.

The origin of the two towns was thus similar' but, as they progressed, changes and difficul~ befell the settlers in both places. The first years in Herrnhut were very hard. So many adventurers heard of Count Zinzendorf's gen­erosit~ in giving homes to the refugees, and came 10 upon the Bn:thren, and made consid­erable trouble. which, after five years, Count Zinzendorf undertook to straighten out.

Here. in Salem, the early experiences of the settle~ent were likewise hard, not along the same hnes, but as the years went by the Indians showed opposition, and during and after the Revolutionary war the Moravians became un , popular among their white neighbors on account of not taking an active part in the struggle, though they freely gave all they could.

radiating in every direction. The plan was suggestive of the distin guishing and profound principles of these most excellent people-that domestic. social. commercial and political life should be intimately re­lated to the Church as the center and source of all spiritual and world­ly good. Hence in the early days everything was regulated by tbe church bell. It summoned the vil­lage laborers to their daily tasks in the early morning, and rang the cur· few at night when all good people should go to bed.

The place where I lingered long­est was the Museum, rich in relics and history. The thick-walled, tile­covered building was first designed for a boys' school, and there for many years the young disciples of of John Huss were taught the mys­teries of mathamatics and the beau­ties of various languages, dead and living. It is now used for a well­kept and richly stored museum. Days could there be profitably spent. I have rarely enjoyed such a privi­lege.

EDITORIAL.

Just a word further on Tithe-giv­ing. Quite a number in response to our request in February, have sent in to THE WACHOVIA postal cards bearing their names as tithe

givers. These nafnes are being gathered, not to form a new society, but to promote the ac­quaintance of those who have adopted this scriptural method of giving, and to assist in the dish ibution of li'terature upon this important subject. Additional names are desired.

Some have not been content to write a postal, but have found a letter necessary to give ex­pression to their satisfaction over this method of systematic benevolence. One says: · i I, for one, could not think of giving up the practice. after the experience I have had in it .. , Another: • , We have practiced tithe-giving since we are married, over 21 years. There is great bless-ng in it."

LENT. It is most gratifying to find in the Lenten season of Ig<>O a more gen­eral observance amongst our people

than has ever been the case before. The Moravian Church does not teach, neither

approves of,a Lenten observance which consists in a sudden abstinence from frivolities, which it is the intention to resume the moment Lent is over. But the Church does endeavor to point out the fact that the Lenten season offers unus­ual opportunities for prayer, study of the Word of God, and contemplation of the life of Christ Jesus. This is the season of instructions, and, later of the Passion Week services.

THE HUSSITE WAR..

~ext, we find ourselves in pleasant, roman­tic, mountain-encircled Bohemia. The German papal army, with its multitude of knights in shining array is moving through the passes into a land which the Pope has given over to a curse because of its love for Hus and its rever­ence for his Scriptural teachings. Against them is arrayed a curious army of farmers, many of them equipped with flails, some of which, in their iron -spiked condition, one still sees in European museums. It looks as if the re were no comparison of.-trength between those knight­ly battalions. the flower of the German Empirp., and these TI ' dely armed fanner bands. But when the battle cry is raised and the rush is made and the flails begin to ring upon helmets and breastplates of the invading hosts, the far· mer-soldier is seen to gain. with his rude weap­on. the most astonishing victories, and, after a while, the German Empire is glad to let Bohe­hemia alone, to develop its rel"igious faith as it will.

PETER OF CHELCIC.

And now. another picture out of the years of the 15th century that are somewhat later. In a little village of Bohemia. Chelcic by name, there lives a layman and a ·.mall landholder, Peter of Che1cic he was called. His opportunities of education had been small; his knowledge. even of the Latin tongue. the language of all learn­ing in that age was scant. but he was a deep and Scriptural thinker. He was no Taborite, or Calixtine. nor even a fo))ower of Hus, in all respects. He had thought out for himself the burning questions of those years of war and con­troversy and had, in the light of Scripture. come to views which were substantially those of the founders of our Church and have remained in their essence, unchangeQ for 450 years. Chelcic was a small place, and Peter of Ch~lcic had no office of any sort to give its support to his views. He was not eveh an unordained mlntster. And yet no less a person than the archbishop-elect of Bohemia sends out spiritual fathers to him for advice. The patriarch Greg­ory, as Ollr history calls him. and his learned associates sit around this vigorous and pious country thinker, and hear him say that Chris­tianity is a life rather than a creed; that the great thing is to imitate the example of Christ; that the Sermon on the Mount is the Christain's chart and guide,-truths which seem very plain to our 19th century ears, ·but in the utteran..ce of which the villager of Chelcic showed himself to be centuries ahead of his own age. His doctrine of the Lord's Supper is that which our Church holds to this day. and if it had been adopted by Christians generally would have saved the whole Christian Church from untold evils: .. All who receive the sacrament in truth, tHrough faith, believe and confess that is the true bQ.dy and blood of Christ, according to his word and mind, without adding or taking away anything. and rejecting all human explana­tions." If it be asked how our Bohemian and Moravian and Moravian father!' came to a com­paratively clear view of the Gospel-truth. nearly a hundred years before Luther preached.

Those are the new home of Gregory and bf his brethren. They have left the great, busy world in Prague, in order, in this remote place to live together according to the S ermon on the Mount as Peter of Che1cic had expounded it. Numbers of the farmers and mechanic living around them and a few priests also have associated themselves with them, under the name of "Brethren of the Law ot Christ. " They a re not monks; they want· nothing to do with the errors of Rome. They are a curious mixture of learned scholars and humble country, of no ' blemen and of peasants.

Herrnhut is in Germany. Salem in America . Some institutions and customs exist in H errn · hut which we discontinued fifty long years ag- . The trades people confine themselves to special lines, and so they have many shops, at least 30 in the town. If the stranger ask ' , as we d id, to have a watch chain mended at the watch maker's, instructions will be given to go to the gold and silver smith's. The grocer k eeps canned goods and dried fruils, but we have h .. d to g o into a diminutive market to buy apples and oranges,-there the baskets of fresh vege· tables and fruits were on the g round standing along the wall , and radishes, asparagus, cauli ­flower, etc., were laid neatly in piles on a shelf. The broad arched doorway reminded me of th e entrance to Smoak & McCreary ' s livery s tabl t· . except that it was gra . from the invariabl" stucco, and printed in conspicuous black letters around the top of the door was " Ein feste Burg ist unser Gott," and we could not exactly un ­derstand why the first line of Luther's famou!> hymn was thus appli€d.

The "Conditorei" and "Baeckerei" are separate and distinct, the former containing con­fections and the latter being, as with us, a bakery.

A Warm Meeting on a Cold Day.

A TRUE STORY.

Two Sundays in February were especially inclement, the first, on the afternoon of which rain poured d own in torrents, and the third, when ,I piercingly cold wind blew all day long.

A ,. Rally " in the interest of the new Fair· vi( 'w church was appointed for the first Sunday afternoon, but the fl oods descended and the winci" blew. so we decided to postpone to the third Sunday.

Again, though the floods did not descend, the winds blew more fiercely than ever, but nevertheless we decided to postpone no longer , but to make the best out of a very discouraging situation.

So the Rally was held. As a mass meeting it was a complete failure. Fifty-two persons, twenty of whom were children gathered in a close circle about the stove which roared a pro­test to the cold, but even then, those on the outer fringe of the circle shivered in spite of themselves. .

If Dr. H. A. Brown, of the First Baptist Church, were a stiff and formal man, he would have bt:"en utte rly at a loss to preach undt'r these circumstances . But with his gitt of adaptability he was at once in touch with his little g-roup of hearers.

We sang several hymns. and then Dr. Brown stood up, taking off one over coat and keeping on another, and began to speak upon the sub­ject of Church building. He dwelt upon the difficulties. and he knows them from long ex ­perience, and he told of the blessings .

After the address was concluded, the pledge cards were circu13ted and a few minutes taken for filling them out. Then came the great sur­prise of the afternoon.

When the thirty-five cards which had been taken wert: gathered up we discovered that our loyal little company had pledged itself for Three hundred and sixty dollars! Two hundred and sixty of this is to be in money and one hundred in work or material.

It was a happy group of people to whom this announcement was made. The doxology was sung with unusual fervor as the "Rally" closed.

This \\'as two weeks ago. Since then mem­bers ot the Committee hav.e been gatherin~ sub­scriptions in pledges and money, and the fund now stands at the six hundred dollar mark, just one third of what we will need for~ the (:ozy brick church we expect to build.

Medical Work . .

The Ecumenical Conference on Foreign Mis­sions, which meets in New York in April, will give a prominent place to the discussion of Medical Missions, and it is confidently predicted that all who follow what is there said will know as never before how truly medical mission work is the exemplification o f the Christ-work.

The need of skilled medical and surgical at­tendance in heathen lands is open to no doubt. A Chinese work on Anatomy says : "There are three pulses in each wrist. A man's strongest pulse is in his left wrist, a woman's in her right. . . . In the left hand are located the pulse!' showing the diseases of the heart, the liver and the kidneys, while the right hand pulses indi ­cate the diseases of the lungs. the spleen and other organs." The ~tory is told of a China­man , who came to the mission hospital suffer­ing from stomach trouble. H e had already taken as a remedy over sixty pounds of power­ed stone, about forty pounds of cillnamon. be­sides many pounds of unmentionably filthy con­coctions; "and he was none the better, but rather grew worse." The wonder is that he was still alive.

Under such conditions it .is easy to see how medical missions have opened doors that would IIlht:rwise have remained closed to missionary I bor. The medical missionary most readily of all his brothers dispels prej udice, and through his medi al knowled~e wins the love and respect of the people and gains a permanent foothold in places which had at first been peremptorily re · fu sed to him. The natives of heathen countries are naturally suspicious. They cannot under­s tand why a man should leave country, fri~nds and hom~ just to teach them his religion. They seek some secret purpose which in their rude minds is often magnified to horrors IDconceiv. able. Thev tell their chiklren that the mission­aries are alluring' them inh) their schools only to boil and eat them. Among such people the labors of the mt.dical missionary must prove a powerful agency in the spread of the Gospel. The character of the physician ha~ always been hilZhly honored in the East, because of its semi­religiou~ nature, and when a man comes among them with the express purpose of administering to their bodies. as well as to their souls, they can understand it, and suspicion is disarmed. As a result the foreign doctor wins his way in the hearts and homes of the high and low, the rich and poor. in a truly marvelous way; he is p~rso'la Krllia even in palaces and hal~ oj State. .. What we dread," said a Hindu a few ye~rs ago,' j is the presence of your Christian women. for they are winning our homes; and your Christian pbysicians, for they are winning aur hearts."

It was a large a nd reverent congregation that was gather d , and this our first burial held according to strictly Mo­ravian usages, made a deep impres­!'ion upon all.

Everything moves smoothly on in the even tenor of its way.

The cold and rain of the past weeks have retarded and hindred church work. But with the meagar­ness of attendance there seems to have been generally a warmer con­geniality, and the worshipers have been brought more closely together in the spirit of fellowship.

This community has been called upon to mourn the loss of three worthy and useful young people. This has cast its shadow over sev­eral homes. Frank Hege, the bdght and promising SOl! of Bro. and Sr. Julius and Josephine Hege, died on January 9th. He will be missed by many. In his death the church lost a young brother'of whom she had a right to expect much if had lived. Frank Johnson, another of our very best young men, and one that can

this idea that every church member should each year carefully review the doctrines as taught in the Catechism. Most of the meetings are quite in­formal. The invitation includes the special request not to ,. fix up." The men's meeting takes the form of an open meeting for question and experience, and in this way a most edifying hour is spent each Wednes­day evening.

MAYOIJAN.

During February, the pa:tor paid a visit of several day's length to this congregation, which gave opportu­nity for a pastoral visitation of Avalon.

This town of six month 's growth lies in the steep hills two miles north from Mayodan. A large new cotton mill is being built at a point on the Mayo river which offers exceptional water power. Adjacent to this mill on a rather high bluff, the new tow n being built. At present Avalon numbers some twenty cottages and a store, the whole being ranged alorig two wide streets. The new frame buildings, some are yet un ­painted, the absence of yards and fences, the high hills and pine woods surrounding, all suggest rather a Western mining 'village, rather than a Carolina town.

Probably fifty people are living here now, but in a few months this number will be increased to several hundled, Mayodan's pastor was very cordially received in his round of visits, and arrangements were made for service to be held in one of the unoccupied houses, thus making a beginning of our newest field of work. So the W ACHOVIA readers might as well accustom the~selves to that beautiful name, A valon, for some day, we trust, that an Avalon congregation will be numb ere d amongst the organization of our Southern Province.

Mayodan congregation was cheer­ed on the occasion of the last ap­pointment by the reception of a new member, Mrs. Wm. Benton.

BETHANIA.

The work has been somewhat hin­dered during the last weeks, owing to the bad weather . The services, however, have been regularly held with encouraging results . The com­munion on the 2d Sunday was a time of evident blessing. A circle, bearing the name, I. Ladies' Aid Society,"has been formed and prom­ises to do a good work.

Sr. Elizabeth Lineback died very suddenly at the home of her son, Bro. Reuben Lineback. on Sunday, March 4th, at the age of 74 years. She was one of our oldest and most faithful members.

The work at the chapels is moving on steadily. The Olivet Sunday School has recently been re-organ­ized, and is now in an excellent con­dition. Bro. E. A. Conrad is in the lead.

A neat belfry is the latest addition to Mizpah Chapel. The bell, which was given by the Brn. O. J. Lehman and H. A. Peddycord, has been placed in position, and its mellow tones can be heard several miles away.

Two of the Alpha children are being taught instrumental music by Mrs. Crosland, and it is hoped that in after years they will be able to turn this instruction to good account in the l.ord's work.

SALEM.

The Lenten season was opened, with very encouraging services, on March 4th. There seems to be a growing desire to s~ve this season from the ordinary round of winter engagements and to use it for spirit­ual improvement. The instructions are being attended by many young people who are already communi­cants. but who wish to be further taught in the way of life. Among the "instruction" meetings there is none more encouraging than that which meets on every Tuesday after­noon at the house of Mr. J. A. Vance, to which mothers come for a half hour's study of the Christian life.

At the recent communion season one of those fraternal interchanges took place which have recently marked our relations with the Church of the Friends. Mr. William A.

-Great interest is aroused by the the fact that Russia is sending large bodies of troops into A. ia. It is sup· posed that the object of this is to be­gin a movement south, with the Per­sian Gulf, or a part or all of India as an ulti mate object. Russia needs seaports that will be open the year round. She thinks she needs India, and it is supposed that in vi ew of the posi tion which England occupies be­cause of her African war Russia thinks the time is ripe to begin un­folding her plans in Asia. The ques­tion is of far-reaching importance, and while all is still suppositious, the matter is attracting much attention, and England's horne activity in en­listing more soldiers gives weight to the position.

-A mutiny in the Soudan is a serious matter. The dervishes when they submitted to Kitchener were en­couraged to enlist in the Egyptian army. They made fine .soldiers , but when the English soldiers were with­drawn in such numbers, the dervishes revolted, and serious trouble may result.'!

He gave me the prayer: .• Lord, give all in this house." And he just did. Before I left the house everyone had gotten a blessing. The last night of my visit I was too happy to sleep, and passed most of the night in renewal of my consecration, and these little couplets formed themselves and chimed in my heart, one after another, until they finished with

THE PAINS WHICH THE COPYISTS HAVE TAKEN.

After the books of the Old and the New TE"S­tament had been composed there was immense diligence used in making copies of them. Take the example of that copy which Tischendorf found in the ancient convent at the foot of Mt. Sinai. It is called the Sinaitic codex, and it ranks alongside of the Pope's copy in the Vati­can library as the oldest manuscript in the world. It was made about 3SO A. D. It is written on fine parchment, in four columns to the page. Each word is spelled in capital letters, which look as if they had been engraved, so clearly and car~rully has the work been done. This Sinaitic copy has 346 lea ves, and required about 150 sheep-skins in order to supply the necessary writing material. The trouble taken with this one copy of the Holy Scriptures is a fair sample of the infinite labor with which the Scriptures were circulated during the many centuries before printing was invented. Every copy had to be written out, word for word, and when we look at the care with which it was done we may say that each copy was engraved word for word. We can, therefore, readily under­stand that a Bible might, in those ages, have had the value of $1200, and have been so pre­cious a book that in a library or church it was chained fast so that no one might steai it. I have seen such a Bible in the museum of the

THE LABOR OF THE TRANSLATION OF THE SCRIPTURES .

Not only have immense pain ... been taken in writing out copies of the Holy Scriptures, but there ha been vast labor exp~nded in translat ­ing the Bible into the languages of the various nations.

THE RISKS INCURRED BY THE TRANSLATORS.

To translate the Bible in such times of perse­cution was to incur a dreadful risk. Luther did the work in his cell of refuge in the Castle of Wartburg with the ban of the Empire over his head. Wycklif was providentially permitted to complete his labors, but, after his death, his ashes were scattered to the four winds. Tyndall, whose English translation is substantially the one we still use, died for his work, It was his boast that by means of his tean. lation, he would mak e the English plough -boys better acq uai nted with the Scriptures than the priests had hitherto been , and for the carrying out of his godly pur­poses he died as a martyr.

To our American eyes the Brother' H ouse was new, and to our tongues their sugar -cake, s treisel cakes and other baked things were g ood .

There are other buildings distinctively Mora ­vian, aplOng these th e Archive House, where va luable papers, books, portrai ts, etc. , a re in safe keeping, and the Diaspora House, which attracted our atten tion to a kind of work we know littl e of, preaching a nd ministering to the p eople of other denominations round about and yet gaining few of them for the Moravian Church. It is a large fieid, and when Diaspora Sunday comes round g reat numb r gather in to the services, and all the beds in this house are occupied, and the table is full to overflow­ing. This is the second oldest build ing . and is curiously built, having originally been the Sis ­te r's House, and new parts were added thereto . The first Pflegerin , Anna Nitschmann. lived in a tiny tapestried room on the third floor, up an abrupt awkward stairwrty; her bed was in a recessed part and her one window looked out toward the Hutberg. Count Zinzendorf married her after the death of the Countess Erdmuth 'Dorothea.

In another part of the town is the Missions Agentur, "hich is the forwarding agency of supplies to mission fields, and the sales agency of products sent #rom those stations. Herrnhut is for ur Church the center, the heart of the missionary efforts and it is due mainlv to this fact that there are so many interesting people. cultured by travel to all parts of the world.

In the midst ,of all this settlement is the church. It is not a comely building, but sub­stantial and roomy. The pastor's home, the Klein Saal, the chapel, as well as the little girls' town school are in the south-west end. The sanctuary proper is large ; the interior is pure white, the reading desk, which is covered with black, making the one object of color. Many services are held here, the regular ones on Sun­day. and every evening in the week. at seven 0' clock , the church bell rings out to call the people to an hour ot prayer and praise.

Now all this -sonnds familiar and yet it has a foreign strain.

An important reorganization of the Bethania Sunday School has been effected . This was rendered necessary through the removal to Winston-Salem of Bro.

M1'. BETH EL-WILLOW HILL.

The Mt. Bethel Sunday School has re-opened with Mrs, John Clark as superintendent.

Protracted Meeting for Willow Hill has been announced for the second Sunday in May.

Miss Nellie Clark, a daughter of one of the Mt. Bethe! families, is in Salem attending the A cademy.

HOME MISSION WORK OF REV. W. E. SPAUGH.'

Five points were reached during the month of March, and at each of these preaching services were held. The very inclement weather made country travelling often quite diffi­cult. On the 19th, in returning from Fulp to Salem, during a rain storm, the road was found to be at some points well nigh impassable. 32 pas­toral visits were paid.

CHRIST CH U RCH.

The six •. instruction" meetings, held each week during Lent, were better attended this year than ever before. Older and younger mem­bers are coming to appreciate the value of these annual gatherings for instruction, prayer and the exchange of experience. Between sixty and seventy were present each week. Great freedom prevailed in the mat­ter of personal testimonies and ex­periences, and, as one brother re­marked ., these meetings are bet ter than preaching services. ' ,

With the beginning of April the Instructions had developed into a genuine Revival of religion, and for .seven nights Revival meetings were held by the pastor.

Notwithstanding much prevailing sickness, the congregations each night were large. and the Word was received with an earnestness, beyond anything we have experienced in the three years' history of Chrisl Church.

On Palm Sunday afternoon, ten persons. all adults save one, joined the congregation, and four more

were received by transfer of names from the H ome church.

Christ Church has indeed been revived.

MAYODAN.

The two Sundays spent in May -dan were as widely different in point of weather as though three months had intervened . The first one wa. a bea utiful Spring day, with la rge congregations, the second a bleak winter Sunday, with but the fait hfu l few.

O ne adult member was recei ved into the fellowship of th is church during the month.

Mayoda n C. E, was well repre­sented at the U nion meeting in Cal­vary, referred to elsewhere, in the person of Bro. Rush Martin, who has won many warm fri ends in Mo­ravian circles, having been the elect­ed delegate to the last Provincial Conference and also to Synod.

Bro. Clarence Crist spent the night of Wednesday. April 4. in Mayodan, and met with a small company of Endeavorers and friends in prayer­meeting. Bro. Crist says his first impressions of Mayodan are bound to be lasting, as they were literally blown into him by a furious wind storm which raged through the Mayo valley until midnight. For an hour, accompanied by the faithful Bro. Martin, he breasted icy air billows, viewing the sights of the town, the mill, the water-power, the grave­yard. etc., at last reaching Bro. Martin's comfortable home. His domicile for the night was with Bro. Parmenio Tesh, a warm friend of other days. Altogether he was much pleased with his trip.

AVALON.

A v~ry interesting prayer meet­ing was held here by Bro. Rond­thaler, on the 23d. Two rooms of one of th~ empty houses were \ttil­ized, and they were completely filled with a splendid audience of seventy­five persons fully half of whom were men . The meeting was bright and spirited.

It is quite noteworthy that with the exception of possibly six or eight, every adult in the little town was present at the service. Half of the day following was given to visit­ing the men at work on the new dam, canal and cotton mill.

FAIRVIEW.

$777.00 is the amount subscribed to date for the new church. Of course, lilore than twice this amount will b.e required, so that while we are greatly encouraged, we feel that by far the most difficult part of the work still remains to be accom­plished.

An important work is busying the the brethren of this congregation, being the erection of a wire fence with stone posts to enclose the graveyard. If all ~ c)e well this will be completed by Ea ter.

The congregation has purchased a SUPI Iy of the Sho rter Hymn Books and with these, new tunes are being introduced, or, rathCi, to be more correct, the old and standard tunes are being lea rned,

At the Congregation Council held on March 20th, it was resolved to extend the graveyard to Cemetery Street. Steps were also taken tu­wards placing the grounds under the charge of a superintendent so that th e beautiful uniformity may be pre­served which has hitherto been the great charm of this consecrated spot.

It wa also re olved that in view of the needs of ollr wid -Iy extending work , a voluntary offering shall be taken up in connection with all our lovefeasts.

On Friday, April 6th, the funeral of an excellent young member, Mr. W ake Lawrence, was held . On the morning of Ap ril 9th, our aged sis-

The Principal of the school visited a number of the patrons in Virginia, Maryland, Pennsylvania and New York during the month of March.

The present yQllr has thus far passed without any serious illness within the school. . A number of patrons of the Acad­emy will be present in Salem during Easter week.

Outdoor sports are attracting much attention this Spring.

The attendance this year is larger than was the case last year. ~-... .... ...

The Friedberg pastor gave con­siderable time to the varied interests of this new work during the month.

On Palm Sunday Bro. Clarence Crist held a service in our church room over the Messrs. Strupe's store: There was an attendance of something over fifty persons present. The Litany was used, as there was an abundance of the new hymn books. In the afternoon Bro. Crist held a meeting with the convicts in the camp house. There was a large attendence of both sexes from Clem­monsville and vicinity. The devel­opments now being planned for this beautifully situated village will work marvels in the next few years, and the latent energies of the people are already feeling the stimulus. Bro. Crist Teturns thanks for the cordial­ity and hospitality with which he was received.

Many of THE WACHOVIA MORA­VIAN readers will remember the visit paid us last summer by Rev. Wm Schwartze, then missionary in Canada. who spoke so accept­ably before the Vounj{ Men's Mis­

sionary Society of Salem, regarding our mission work among the Russian emigran ~ of Alberta.

It is of especial interest, therefore, to learn of the new field of labor to which the Church hai called this energetic young man as Director of our Theological School on the island of Anti~ua, in the eastern West Indies.

A transfer from Fort Saskatchewan in North Alberta, amongst the foothills of the Rocky Mountains, where the snows lie for months, to a tropical island of the West Indies, means a home-moving of 5000 miles, and is almost like going from" Greenland's icy mountains to In­dia's coral strand."

Denominational lines are not regarded, and any real case of need is speedily relieved. By a simple arrange­ment the town is divided into four districts, each in charge of a committee of two, and all cases of distress reported to th ese committees are at once investigated .

Much of the annual harvest of fish upon which the E<;quirnaux have necessarily to depend for th f.' ir support is now bei'lg gathered by the New Foundland fishermen; furthermore, the supply of furs is rapidly diminishing, so that the sup­port of the natives is becoming very scant.

In addition to this, gifts from outside to the support of the mission, which were frequent in former years, have J{reatly diminished, so that the Labrador situation is a most serious one.

Latest N eW8 from Moravian Foreign Missions.

In East Africa our missionaries have now come so far, that at Rungwe, where utter heath­enism prevailed only a few years ago and the name of Christ had never been heard, a Board of Elders could be instituted among the new converts. On December 24th, a company of twelve was baptized. Also in Utengul~ baptisms took place.

Bro. Gebhard, who was recently in Salem, has reached Cape Gracias a Dios, in the extreme north of the Moskito Coast. The church at this new station is in process of erec tion.

The congregation at Bluefields is steadily in­creasing. The new church in this chief town on the coast is now being built.

In South Africa, the mission stations have thus far been entirely spared from the ravages of war.

On the days from June 7th to June 9th, a . meeting of friends of the Moravian Missions,

gathered from all the Churches, will take place in Herrnhut in memory of the birthday of Count Zinzendorf, May 26th, 200 years ago.

CHIPS FROM HISTORIC TIMBER. BY MISS ADELAIDE FRIES. SALEM, N. C.

The Order or tile Mustard Seed.

"Whereunto shall we liken the kingdom of God? or with what comparison shall we com­pare it? It is like a grain of mustard seed, which, when it is sown in the earth, is less than all the seeds that be in the earth: but when it is sown it groweth up, and becometh greater than all herbs, ?nd shooteth out great branches. so that the fowls of the air may lorlge under the shadow of it. " -Mark 4: 30 , 3 I, 32.

About the year 1713 five boys were at school in the Paedagogium at Halle, in Gt!rmany. Thev had come from different homes, where they had been trained in the creeds and forms of the denominations to which their parents be· longed, and to which, in due time, they were to give their personal allegiance; and in the sifting process which goe;, <?n when many na­tures are brought into close contact, these five graduaUy found each other, and became firm frienJs. All came from the higher ranks of society, and he who speedily became the lead':' ing spirit was Nicholas Lewis, Count Zinzen­dort: who had been brought up in the old castle of Gross Hennersdorf, under the watchful eye of mother, aunt and grandmother, beiDg by inheritance a Lutheran. A second was Fried­rich von WattevilJe, of the Reformed Church; the namt=s of the others do not appear. Of rhese, Nicholas L ewis, at least, had been a very pious child. The window is stiIl shown at Gross Hennersdorf from which he threw little notes to the Saviour, believing that they would be taken up to heaven; and almost from infancy his motto had been: 'c This one thing will I do :

His death and sutrerinis ever, Till soul and body sever, Shall steadfast in my heart remain. "

In the familiar intercourse of their new friend­ship the five boys .ound that. despite some dif-

•

feren ces in their religious training, there were certain points on which they were agreed, and all believed in the divine promise : "Where two or three a re g athered together in my name , there am J in the midst of them." They, there­fore, organized a little society, of which Spang­enberg wrote: .. They laid down certain prin ­ci p� es' which conformed to the teaching of Jesus, a nd were suitable for promoting their object , and estahlished certain rules, to which, afte r full consideration, they pledged th emselves before t he Lord . According to the good ad vic ' of Zinzenclorf's g randmother. the Landvoegti ll of Gersdorf, the association was long ke pt a secret. The name firs t adopted by ~ h e li ttl band w~s .. die Tugendsclaven" (' 'Virtue's Slaves"), then " die Gesellschaft der Bekenner J esu Christi " (" the Company of Those Wh o Know J sus Christ" ) , and, finally, "Ord('n von Senlko rn " ( the "Order of the Mll~taf(l Seed" ), re/erring to Matthew 13 : 31.

a written pledge that he wou ld abide by the teachings of Jesus, and walk w'" thy of Him , One such pledge, dated J nne 17'9. shows that the new member promised to give up life rather than depart from his faith, or give intentional offence; to show sincere love to his neighbor; to forswear dancing and games of chance, etc. When the members had finished their studies, and were scattered to many lands, the organi­zation was continued through letters, Zinzen­dorf devoting much time to directing the cor­respondence. In 1724 formal statutes were adopted, giving to the Order more complete­.ness, but it was still strictly secret. No list of names has remained to the present, so far as is known, but some have been gathered from let­ters that have been preserved, and show that th .. e Order spread far and wide, and numbered many influential men among its members, for instance: President von Reichenbach; Court Preacher Jablonsky; Heinrich XXJX Reuss; General de Schryver and Isaac Lelong from Holland; von Rademacher, Director of the East India Company ; General Oglethorpe, Governor of Georgia; Thomas \\Tilson, Bishop of Sodor and Man; John Potter, Archbishop of Canterbury; Cardinal Noailles; Mr. Erskine, Secretary of State in Scotland, and King Chris­tian VI of Denmark. The names of one or two women also appear.

On Palm Sunday, April 8th, we had the joy of receiving four persons into our membership, one by confir­mation, two by baptism, and one by the right hand of fellowship. This is by no means the only ingathering time of the year. so that while com­paratively small in number this class represents only part of this year's work.

Through the kindness of Mr. A. Lichtenthaeler quite a nUQ)ber of large decorative bushes and shrubs have been added to our churchyard. Other members of the congregation have also shown their church-pride by seeding plants for the lawn.

NEWS OF THE WORLD. CONDUCTED BY REV. J. H. CLEWELL, SALEM. N. C.

UNITED STATES SENATE.

It will be remembered that recent­ly the House of Representatives at Washington refuse-d t~ allow Mr. Roberts to take a seat in that body because he was guilty of polygamy This action was loudly applauded by the people of our country. Now the Senate comes comes to the front and during the past month has drawn at­tention to itself by refusing to admit two men who have been gUilty of a course of action which is gcnerally considered so irregular as to debar them from becoming Senators. The one is: Mr. Clark, of Montana, who spent $139,000 in securing his elec­tion by bribery, and the other is Mr. Quay, of Pennsylvania, who has a long record of "bossism," and has become very objectionable to the people. All of these decisions on the

part of the Senate and the House have tended to uphold the dignity of our governing body.

FLOODS AND FIRES.

The month has left a sad record of disasters by flood and fire. Through­out the South heavy rains have sent great volumes of water to the gulf, and large sect ions of country have bet:n covered with water, causing loss of life and destruction of property. At Austin, Texas, the grt!at dam which cost more than a million dol­lars was swept away, while at Waco, Texas, ' the floods came so suddt!nly that the people were un able to save themselves even in the town and a number were drowned in the streets. Along the Mississippi River the water has been very high with a correspond­ing loss of property. At the same time news is brought to us of destruc­tive forest fires in the northwest, while from Canada, we learn that at Hull, a conflagration started and was communicated to Ottawa, and for a time it seemed that this city would be entirely destroyed. As it was, many lives were lost and 12,000 peo­ple are left homeless. The financial loss will amount to 815,000,000.

THE WARS.

The reports from the wars now in progress are not cheering. It was hoped that the progress made by England in SO\.\th Africa would bring about an early prospect of peace. It is not so. The Boers have drawn the English into the Orange Free State where the country is very barren and unhealthy. Both horses and men are dying in large numhers and in addi­tion to this the Boers are dividillg into small sections of troops and at­tacking the British in unexpected quarters. The crowning bitterness of the month is the report Df the British General Roberts to the effect that a number of the officers chosen from the ranks of the nobility are incom­petent. This rep..irt was not intended for the public, but it was made public, and is a source of hnmiliation to the officials of the army and may also tend to take away confidence on the part of the soldiers in the field.

From the Philippine Islands the 'war news is not such as we would like to. hear. During the past two weeks it is claimed that at least:1 ,000 or" the natives have been killed, wounded or made prisoners. While the American losses:were small,still it appears that the end is not so near as it has been claimed. To still further complicate matters the report comes that Aguinaldo has again made his appearance and if such is the case the task before our country becomes greater than ever.

THE GLORIOUSNESS OF THE TESTIMONY.

The Saviour has simply said that his Gospel will be ,. preached for a witness to all nations," and he has said no more. But it is as the ages have shown, and as this age is, perhaps, show­ing to a greater degree than any previou~ one~ the witness which the Gospel gives to its divine Founder is a glorious one. It is a testimony which partly results in the better institutions which the Gospel creates in the world, and. partly in the company of actively saved souls which it gathers by means ~f its Christ message.

A CASE IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA.

Let me take you to a Moravian mission which I visited a few years ago in Southern California. It was among a pitiful tribe of Indians, in the scorching desert, The thermometer stood that day at 150 degrees under the eaves of the little mission-house My missionary brother carne in. at evening, to tell of the Indian youth he had just visited, seated under a tree, dying of con­sumption, No roof over his head, he had never had anything over his head but a mesquite shelter. Next morning, at 4 o'clock, I heard the tap of the hammer as I waked in my out­door bed in the desert. The two missionaries who met me at this station were busy making a coffin-box, out of their own supply of lumber,

.otherwise the poor fellow must be laid into the ground just as he was. I shall not forget the scene at the grave as I conducted the Christian service among heathen. Not one of them had as yet been converted, but they were feeling the sweetness of Christian care and charity in time of bereavement, and now a church of Christ has been gathered among them as a result of Gospel testimony both in word and deed.

THE CASE OF A PRESBVTERIAN MISSION.

THE W ACHOVIA MORAVIAN.

had the sweet group of children gathered around me as they repeated the Lord's prayer. I saw the young Oriental girls in training for womanly liberty . liberty and Christian usefulness, and I realized that the great Presbyterian fountain was sending its waters ' of life by means of a tholl s­and rills of influence over all Western Asia. It was the witness oj which Jesus spake.

It was a higher grade influence than that which my Moravian brother was exercising in the California desert. Th Christian college, the Christian high-school, the ChJ;istian pre 's were all enlisted. But the spirit was the same, a spirit of the testimony of Jesus to lost nations, whether they would fail to receive it, or fail to accept it.

THE FINAL GLORY.

Meanwhile the campaign will continue to be arried on accordinR to the plan of our divine

L'ommander: "This Gospel of the Kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness to all nations, and then shall the end come," the end whose glory no man can exaggerate; the end of which none may now form an ade­quate estimate, even in their wildest dreams. It will be the end wherein those great, blest heavenly voices of highest cherubim will pro­claim a tremendous and rt!alized fact: " the kingdoms of this world are become the king· doms of our Lord and of his Christ, and he shall reign forever and ever." Amen.

CHIPS FROM HISTORIC TIMBER. BY MI S. ADELAIDE FRIES, SALEM, N . C.

THE SINGLE BRETHREN'S HOUSE, SALEM, N. t ·.

P,-epared for the Wachovia Historical Society . by My Julius A . Lineback.

When our forefathers came to this country, and established a new settlement of Moravian, they brought with them the ideas, manners ann customs uf their old homes in the fathcrland.

Their aim was to serve Gon in simcerity and simplicity j as they regarded him as a father , se they looked upon. the Church as a mother, and this idea of p<lrental relation entered largely into their administration of Church affairs. Conse­quently, not only were the spiritual, moral and educational interests of the members carefully looked after by the pastors, but the governing boards kept watch over their temporal affairs as well,-did not permit one brother to establish any business that would come in hurtful rompe­tition with another,-and, if anyone was evi­dently careless, or negligent in the managemt:nt of his business affairs, they did not fail to give him admor.ition and warning.

Pecuniary aid was extended in some case~,

where it was needed to build a horne, or establish some busine'iS, and a helpful co-operation was the governing principle, the practical application of the golden rule.

This parental oversight could best be had by a division of responsibility, especially in spiritual affairs, and this, no doubt, was one of the reasons for the division of our congregations into classes, or. ~hoirs,-~he appointment of a "pfle~er," or spmtual adVIser for ~ach class, and, in the case

In 1772, the Single Brethren's choir of Beth­abara was moved to Salem, into this building.

The brick addition was begun in the spring of 1786, the corner-stone being laid Aug. 8th by Jobannes de Wattevillo, and was so far finished that the chapel was dedicated on Oct. 18th of the same year.

THE CHURCH AT HOME. BY REV . HOW"RD R , RO NDTHALKR, S"LKM, N. C

CENTREVILLI'~.

Sunday, June 3d, was a floral day at Centerville chapel. The Sunday previous the scholars were invited to bring fiowers of all kinds to beau­tify the church, the intention being to have a simple children's day ex­erci!"e, but the superintendent and teachers were happily surprised to see the interest manifested, the flow­ers being brought in from all direc­tions, by big and little. The result Wel!; a very handsome decoration of wild and cultivated flowers, entirely filling the front of the platform. Sev­eral of the children had learned aJil­propriate recitations, which were well rendered.

In the evening, unde. the leader­ship of Mr. J ames T. Lmeback, the school and cOllgregation engaged in a service of praise,-in which all joined earnestly and heartily.

Bro. Emory Knouse and wife kindly entertained the teachers of Centreville at their home on South Side, May 28. The fripndly inter­course was enjoyed by all, binding more closely those engaged in the Master's work at this place.

MT. BETHEL-WILLOW HILL.

The protracted meeting, held in May was a season of blessing in the conversion of some and in the reviv­ing of many. Bro. A. D. Thaeler assisted the pa tor in these services. The prospects for the future of Wil­low Hill are very encouraging.

The material interests of this com­munity hav~ been augmented by the establishment of a nursery farm for growing fmit trees. It is located just across the road from our church. The best part about it is. that it is in the hands of two Christian men, Mes ·rs. Woods, of Greensboro.

COLORED.

The 78th birthday of this congre· gation was celebrated on the 4th Sunday in May, with lovefeast and the holy communion. The Lord gave us a shower of blessing on this occasion.

The Christian Endeavor will make special efforts, during the summer months, to do some work for Christ and the Ch urch .

FRIEDLAND

On the preaching Sunday in May the pastor joined the congregation in listening to a plain and forcible sermon. bearing strongly on Chris­tian growth by Rev. Lewis Hine, of the Baptist Church. An evidence of a deepening spiritual life is found in the prayer meetings which are being held in the homes. The interest taken in these meetings for prayer as well as in the monthly Bible In· struction services is very encourag­ing indeed.

OAK GROVE

Increased interest is being taken in church music in the learning of Moravian tunes. The church band is also preparing to 'erve the con­gregation on needed occasions. In May th e Children' s ~1 e tings , held by the pastor, were commenced again for the year.

PROV IDEN E

Probably for the first time in the history of this congregation , a per· son coming into one of its services can tell by the tunes that are used that it is a Moravian church. The Shorter Moravian Hymn Book is a great help toward enlarging the number of tunes for church services. . On the night ?f the third Sunday tn May the first 10 the course of Bi­bl e Instructions from the Confirma­tion Catechi m wa' held.

On June 6th, Bro. Wat Southern met with a very sore trial in the death of his wife. Thr e little child­ren were left to his care.

NEW PHILADELPHfA

Services with the children were begun again in May. Bible Instruc­tion services are now held on the nights of preaching Sundays. The young ladies have procured vases for the pulpit, table and organ. Somewhat on the Christian Endeav­or committee plan, the duty of sup­plying flowers has been assigned to different ones.

CHRIST CHURCH.

A hearty members' meeting was held on the evening of Tuesday, June 12th, at which the Committee for the new year was elected as fol­lows: D . A. Roberson, (re-elected) Gideon Pfaff ar.d A. H. Disher.

Steps were taken towards fencing in the lot. two·thirds of the money needed for this purpose being now in hand.

After several weeks of delightful working in the Parsonage garret, the Ladies' Neighborhood Meeting has completed its quilt, which was pre ented to the Salem Home, where it proved a very acceptable gift.

The Boys' Club is holding enthu­siastic meetings at present. mostly in th~ creek. The pastor is instruc­ting the members in the useful art of swimming to his and their intense delight.

The Fellowship Prayer meetings which are being held from time to time are a Sllccess. Some simple topic . and fruitful, as /( What helps in the Chri~tian Life," is taken up in a conver ational manner by the pastor, and for half an hour pastor and people talk easily and familiarly back and forth upon the theme. Nobody "makes a speech." and, (perh a ps for this very reason), every­body seems to be interested and edified.

On May 9th, a pcuty started on their long way to California, consist­ing of Mrs. Laugenhour, Mr. Jessie and Mrs. Minnie Laughenour, Mr. and Mrs. William Watkins, Mr. Samuel Pfohl and Miss Velora Sut­liffe. We were glad to hear of their safe arrival and will be still more glad to welcome them back again.

In the course of the' month of May, the Young People's Meetings came to an end for the season. The Wednesday meeting is held for th e Academy scholars and was engaged upon the apostolic story. The Fri­day meeting is devoted to the Day Scholars of our various schools, and was , at the time of its closing, occu · pied with the story of the life of Christ. In the last Friday meeting, the Pastor was greatly surprised with the gifts of the young people, in the shape of beautiful Russian­leather copies both of the Hymn Book and the Hymnal.

The great interest of the month was centered in the clo illg exercises of the Schools which form so impor­tant a part of the life of Salem. The Academy exercises continued from May 19th, to May 24th. The ser­mon on Sunday, May 20th, was preached by Rev. Paul de Schweinitz, a son of the well-known Principal, R ev. Robert de Schweinitz. His discourse on Rev. 19:8, was a very excellent one. We had the pleasure of the presence of Gen. Gordon. the famous Confederate general on the platform. On the evening of the same day, the Rev. L. S. M. Miller, D. D., of the Lutheran Synod.

,preached a very edifying sermon on " Peace through faith in the sacrifice of our Lord Jesus Christ." On Thursday, May 24th, a class of 40 was graduated, after a specially fine address by the Rev. W. W. Moore, D. D., of Union Theological Semi­nary. On the same evening, the an­nual address before the Boys' School was made by th~ Rev. S. B. Turren ­tine, D. D. , of Charlotte. Ten pu · pils were grad uated.

On the last Sunday of the month, the pastor was absent preaching in the late:Dr. Hoge's church at Rich ­mond, Va., and delivering the mis sionary address before the students of Union Theological Seminary. The reception given was a most cor­dial one. The brethren, McCuiston and Thaeler who preached in the Salem Home church made suitable reference to the 200th Anniversary of the birth of Zinzendorf.

SALEM FEMALE ACADEMY.

The Commencement of this School occurred the latter portion of June and the exercises were attended by a large number of friends from Win­ston-Salem as well as from near by and distant States.

The speakers for the Commence­ment were Rev. Paul de Schweinitz, of Bethlehem, Pa., who delivered the sermon, and Rev.W.W. Moore, D, D., of Richmond, Va., who de· livered the oration. Both these gentlemen contributed much to the happy week.

The Concerts were of an unusually plea ing nature, smooth and satis­factory. showing very careful and p.ainstaking work on the part of both pupils and teachers. Diplomas were presented to 40 members of the reg­ular college course pupils, and a number to · students in the special schools.

The Alumnre Day was an unu ual ­Iy happy onc, there being present a very large number of forme::r pupils. The business meeting had a very fine spirit abroad, and the luncheon on the campus was served to more than 200 members.

With the general willingness to help wherever needed, and the cool ple<lsant weather, as well as the car­ry out of the entire programme with­out omission of any portion of the same, caused all connected with the school to rejoice that the year has thus happily closed.

• Theological Semlna.·y CODlmenCf'mf'nt.

The Commencement took place June 3-6. The occasion was one of unusual interest, and showed a very gratifying condition of affairs in con­nection with the work of the year.

The Baccalaureate Sermon was delivered on Sunday morning, by the R ev. W. H. Rice, of Ohio. This was followed on Tuesday morning by the meeting of the Board of Trus­tees , The meeting was a very sat­isfactory one and the financial con­dition of the college is in a good condition, which is due to very care­ful oversight on the part of those in charge of the finances. Our South­ern Province was represented by Bro. J. H. Clewel~ The Trustees were the guests of Prof. Hamilton at a luncheon served at noon.

In the afternoon a concert was giv­en by the students in the Borheck Chapel, and it was an occasion which showed that the music of the college has been developed in a re­markable manner during the past few years. Bro. J. Kenneth Pfohl was the leader.

the Augsburg Confession of Faith has retained its mighty influ euce over the entire Protestant world. THE MORAVIAN ESTIMATE OF THE AUGSBURG

ONFESSION.

What we Moravians think of it appears in th fa ct that we have mad e the day of its Presenta­tion one of our great Memorial days. In our General Church Book we say: .. In the 2 1 doc­trinal articles r the Augsburg Confession of the Evangelical Protestant faith, we recognize the chief doctrines of the Christian faith as clearly and simply set forth."

Th is is as far as the Moravians an go with rt·gard to the acceptance of any of the great historic rreeds. W e admirf" them and are in­structed by them,as well · reasoned statements 01 the faith which was in the men who wrote them and accepted them

THE MORAVIAN CONFESSION

But, for ourselves, we are content to make a simple and a brief affirmation on six chie1 doc­trinal points, namely: the doctrine of Total Depravity, of the love of the Father. of the real Godhead and real humanity of Jesus Christ, the doctrine of Justification, of Sanctification i the doctrine of the Seeond Coming of the Lord and the Resurrection of the Dead unto life or unto condemnation, and then we add as our one great article the following sentence, which con­tains in it the substance of the Moravian con­fession. It runs thus; •• In conformity with the aforesaid articJes of faith. Jesus Christ, our Personal Saviour, in w.hom we have the grace of the Son, the love of the Father. and the Com­munion of the Holy Ghost, is Himself the great centre of our preaching. The word of the crQSS, -that is, the testimony of his free-will offering of Jiimself to become incarnate as a man, to suffer and to die, and the treasures of grace thereby obtained for us. is the sum and sub­stance of our preaching. To proclaim the Lord's death we consider the chief calling of the Breth­ren's Church. We dircct men unto him who of God is made unto us wisdom and righteous­ness and sanctification an~ redemption. "

CONCLUSION.

Thus we come to see just what the good con­fession is, which everyone of us ought to make; The Elector of Saxony put it squarely when he said on the eve of June 25th, 1630, .. I desire to conft'ss t he Lord. "

THE SINGLE BRETHREN'S HOUSE, SA.LEM, N. C.

Prepared for the Wachovia Ht'storical Society. by Mr. Julius A. Litzeback.

Cont£nucd. The large garden below the house extended

nearly to the branch. Then there was a strip of meadow, or pasture ground, and beyond the stables, and still further west and south, the fields or upper plantation. Near the branch, and not far from the street, was a very good spring, with a rock spring-house over it. Here were kept the milk and butter, and from here the brethren brethren brought their drinking water, especially in summer. As this was quite a good distance from the house. we can well understand why each brother was required to bring his own water and milk at breakfast and supper.

Tradition says that both Gens. Washington and Cornwallis drank water from this spring,and this is more than probable, but as both generals, and the spring as well, are gone, it is impossible to verify the saying.

Close by, in line with the street. was a build­ing in the second story of which Christian Stau­ber lived for a number of years. In the south­east corner of the garden they had built a sum­mer house, which afforded an excellent place to while away the summer Sunday afternoons, and enjoy their pipes and cigars.

The Chapel occupied the south half of the first floor of the brick addition. In the middle of the of the south wall of the large entrance hall there was an arched opening jgto a passage .leading to the door of the chapel. On each side of this pas­sage was a living room. These partitions were all of wood, and years ago, sometime in the for­t~es, they were all removed and new ones put in, fire-place, &c., built, the arch closed up and new doors' cut in the wall, and the rooms arranged as we now know them. Some years ago, when por­tions of the wall needed to be re·plastered, this arch was discovered, but it was not known at the time what had been its use.

Tbe sleeping. ball was on the second floor, tak­inK in all of it soutb of the stair hall. A few years after the changes were made down stairs, this large han was divided by:a partit'ion running north and south. The eastern room was used as .. music and concert hall. The west room had a small portion cut off, through which entrance was bad to the eoncert hall. Between these two large rooms there was a slidin& or folding door which was .rown opec on concert occasion., as the west room was occupied by only one or two beds. In thi. hall the infaat school was wont to hold its ~lDinatioDS .. occasion. of supreme importance to the little men and ... omen under Mia Sallie Steiner'. charge.

THE WACHOVIA MORAVIAN..

Here, too, the Museum, so long an honor to the Yuung Men's Missionary Society, and a source f)f pride to Salem and probably to the So­ciety itself. may be said to have had its birth . The nucleus was donated to the S~ciety by the Rev. John Friebele, and consisted of a very fine collection, principally of tropical products of various k inds, collected by him whilst on the West India Mission. It may not be entirely out of place to mention in thi<; connection, that there are still living two of the eriginal members, our genial friend, T. F. Crist, and E . W. Line­back. Mr. Crist canvassed for funds for the new movement, and collected "'0.00. of which '5.00 was donated by Rev. Mr. Jacobson, who was :\t

that time Principal of Salem Female Academy. It might be mentioned, yet, that the closet

built against the partition for the storage of music, &c., is still there.

When the experiment of establishing a board­ing school for a boys was macle in 1826 to 1828, this large west room, adjoining the concert hall, was the dormitory; the east, south-cast and south­west rooms on the first floor being used as school­rooms. At another period the -west room just mentioned was utilized as a place for a night school. •

The middle, large, west room was used, after the S. R. D. had ceased to exist, as a gathering place for the older boys, from which to go to church under charge of their U pfleger." Here the good brother, Buchholtz, and others would entertain them for the quarter hour or so before church time, with stories and anecdotes such as boys, even of those days, loved to hear. The rooto was warmed by one of the old fashio'ned tile stoves, that we, now that they have almost entirely disappeared, consider valuable. It was in somewhat of a shaky condition, and one day when the boys began to congregate, and wanted to warm their fingers and toes, behold, there was no stove there. The place that had known it for so long knew it no mote forever. Investigation revealed its remains in a ditch, somewhere behind the house, where some of the larger boys had de­posited them. They then moved their gathering place to the infant school room. Here, too, they came for confirmation instruction.

When they did get to church, they had their allotted place. We know that the pulpit was then against the north wall. The first row of long benches ,,'as for the little boys. Next behind them sat the" great" or older boys; then came the married men and behind them the single brethren. On the sisters' side, the arrangement was similar. This would seem to have been not the best arrangement. putting the brethren and sisters opposite to each other, and behind their elden:, but, still further back, against the wall, sat a number of fat hen and mot hen in Israel, who, with the" diener," kept an eye on the young people, and we have no tradition of any misbehaviour in church.

The "pfleger" or spiritual adviser lived in the house with his charge. The lut brother who filled this office, Bro. Chr. Fried Schaff, is still remembered by many of our n.mber. He w .. one of tht- most lovable of men, and eDd .... ed himself to all who knew him. Especially did the children hold him in bilb veacratioD ~d regard. A certain little tin box that he always calTied in

his vest pocket no doubt had much to do ' with their love for him. When he met a little boy or girl, his invariable ~ustom was to take the child by the chin, and, with loving words, gently chatter the teeth together. Then a mint drop or two was sure to follow. Yet he could rebuke too much forwardness, for, when a certain boy once asked for the candy that he that he thought was too slow in coming, he reprimanded him by say­ing, " Jetz kriegst du just keine."

To be continued.

SlxiJa AaniTersary 01 the Moravia Sunday School.

Through the kind invitation of the pastor, Bro. Thaeler. it was my privilege to be present with and address the Moravia Sunday School on the occasion of the sixth anniversary. My companion was Prof. Brower, of the Salem Boys School, thus insuring the riding part of the trip (some 20 miles) against tediousness. Leaving Salem about 7 0' clock on the morning of the first Sunday in July. our route lay through Cen­treville. Waughtown, to the left at the Stewart place. thence to Kernersville. down through the long main street. with its lining of vine-clothed, comfortable homes. with frier.dly recognitions from friends here and there. Then 0,\ across the railroad. turn to the right. and seven miles of beautiful road to Oak Ridge lay before us. At the college Prof. Brower's name acted as an open sesame, and Prof. Allen Holt has our thanks for his kindly courtesy in escorting over the great buildings. A three-quarters of a mile brouJtbt us to the home of Mr. Donnell, our headquarters. This is the summer home of Mrs. R. B. Kerner, and we were most cordially. welcomed 'by her father and mother. Mr. and Mrs Donnell, as well by herself and dauJiehter, May. After ·dinner, we adjourned to Moravia, a little further on.

The first thing that attracted my attention was the graveyard. Moravian graveyards are, as a rule. distinctive, and the Moravia God's Acre has this distinction also,-it is well cared for, with laid-out plots and walks.

The church is neat and commodious. and is a credit to our denomination. Its field is prac­tically unoccupied, and the work is stablished on sure foundations.

The Sunday School. during the summer, is in charge of Mrs. Kerner, with Bro. Sutton as Superintendent. The exercises on this occasion consisted of songs and recitations, and were very pleasing, it being particularly gratifying to see the part taken by the yOung men in the recitations. Mrs. Kerner was the director, a~d her efforts were eminently su~ful, especially when we remember that as yet Moravia is with­out an organ.

At t.he close of the exercises the visitors from Salem each had a word of fraternal greeting and encouragment for their Guilford brethren. and the si~h . anniversary was over.

Not the least pleasini (eature of the day was the cc;»ntinual eVidence of the strong friendship of thiS people for their pastor, thU!4 giving proof that his part of thiR work is faithfully done.

The privilqre of speaking to the Moravia people was a mos.t special one, for church and work are a testimony to one no* departed whose friend~hip was most highly prized and whose memory linters yet in kind.,. affection for him and hIS. C. E. C.

On the 13th of August the con­gregation is to be organized by Bishop Rondthaler, and in the latter part of September the school is to begin. The free use of the M. E. church has been tendered by the pastor and stewards to the congre­gation, and for school purposes the building popularly known as Dou ­thit's Store, belonging now to Mr. H. W. Fries, has been secured. A preliminary canvass of the commu­nity has recently been made which

'establishes the prospect of the con-gregation being organized with more than thirty communicants, and the school with more than sixty scholars.

Active building operations will be­gin on the parsonage with the first of August. The work of making bri~k and preparing lumber for the church and school buildings will ' be continued through the coming months, so that by next spring and summer these important buildings may be pushed forward to com ple­tion as ~peedily as possible.

During the month of June, the pastor was invited to take part in a number of interesting services which called him away from Salem. On the loth he pre;..ched the anniver­sary sermon at Bethania. The oc­casion was a very bright and happy one. On June 13th he preached the Baccalaureate Sermon at Elan College. This is ad institution of learning supported by one division ef the Christian Church.

The month of July finds the con­gregation largely depleted by the absence of members on holiday jour­neys, but, notwithstanding the heat, there have been various attractive services and important meetings for Missions and Sunday Schools.

A recent visit which gave gen­eral pleasure in Salem was that of Bro. Massah Warner, of Philadel­phia. Born in Salem, though long a resident dsewhere, his professional gifts and success have been the pride of his native place. The news that, after many years, he was coming' to visit us again, spread quickly in all parts of tne older congregation. Had the time of his stay been doubled, it would hardly have sufficed to enable him to shake hands with all who wished to ~reet him, or to be enter­tained under every roof which de­sired thus 10 honor this genial and beloved guest. His promise soon to come again will, we trust, meet with no hindrances in the way of its happy fulfilment.

BETHANIA.

June is usually a busy month in thi~ congregation, and this year it proved exceptionally so.

A good deal of preparatory work was down for the anniversary festi­val, which occurred on Sunday, June loth. Two members of the P. E. C., Bishop Rondthaler and Bro. J. W.

brethren de ri v d ~o mu ch enjoy ment from th eir very imple amu 'ement , how th ey laid little pic­tures 011 the table, one aft er another, and then picked th em up again with such glee. The good pastor was more worldly wise. ho wever, and lilted up his hands in holy horror as he ex­claimed , " Nein, nein, diese waren carten. " (They were cards. )

Bro. Hulthin , while he was undoubtedly a very g ood man, was somewhat peculiar, and of just that nature that offered a temptation to boys for teazing and worrying that they neither cou]d~nor tried to resi.t. They would peram· bulate the halls , whistl ing to the full capacity of their l lungs, which was, of course, against the rules. They rang the hou!Oe- bell at all sorts of unseemly hours. To prevent their d oing this the rope was ~hortened , so as to be out of their reach . But was it? By takinR a running start. as boys would say .they could jump high enough to catch it. giving so much the harder pull, ­one that would awaken the echoes throu~h the house. But cats: Did you ever know a boy that would not chase cats, if he had the chance? There were, of course. cats on the premises, but they had , from the days of their kittenhood, learned to h'IVe a wholesome dread of those boys and lived in constant fear of their lives. They had to depend on flight for their safety. and had found a hole in the shed wall, through which they wer.e accustomed to find refuge when the .boys were on the war path. /But alas! what bad been their safety for so lODg a time . at 1fngth became a trap for their destruction. One day dlose boYI4, on lI,1urder intent, posted tw~ or three of their Dumber on the outaide, armed with sticks, whilst the others started the quarry. The poor frightened creatures flew, with tails erect, to their accustomed place of escape, only tQ be met there by tbe enemy in overwhelming force. W hat was fun for the boys ,,-as death to the cats.

This was the crowning iniquity; Bro. Hulthin usually took their teasin~ of himself in good part, sometimes offering a mild protest, but this

Board , and they were ~ummoned to appear be­fore that b dy fo r trial. Bro. H . , ill' his sOllle­what nasal intonations, made his statement f thei r misdemeanors. I, Sie haben gepfiffen, unci di r.Jocke g l;:wt, und gar die Katzen todt ge;-. ­chlagen." T he culp rits dared not deny thp

cha rge. Their judges, however, evidently preciateci the situation, anti perhaps were n entirely out of sy mpathy with the boys- they gay th em a reprimand, and, on the:r promist' not to do so anymore. th ey were dismissed.

But boys have vast resources . They were bnund' to have thei r fu n, and if it had to be at the expense of the pfleger, so much the worse for the pfleger. They would put wasps and cockle-burrs in his b d. O ne misc hievous fe l­low would hold up his dog at the good brother 's window, while another would pinch his tail, in order to make him g rowl , and the voice kept on saying " begone," until fea r of disco\'ery drove the torm entors of both brother and dog away in th e darkne~s . Doubtless many a con­spiracy was hatched and broug ht to mat uri ty in their sleep-hall, where pillo w fig hts anct o t her ways of working off excess of energ y were of frequent occurrence .

One nig ht their conference brought about the result that presently everyone was standing up ­right on the edge of his bed ; at a given signal there was a simultaneous springing up as high as they could, and coming down on the floor with a force and noise that started the brother overseer, in his distant room ,into speedy action. He sprang out of bed, and lighting his candle, hastened towards the scene of the supposed col­lapse of part of the building. All was quiet, he could find nothin~ wrong anywhere. -He went into the sleep hall, there all was still, save the snoring of the dear innocent young people, who were sleeping so soundly alter their days's work :hat he could not awaken them. Thoroughly mystified ~e went back to bed . but not to sleep , for soon that terrible noi. e came again, if possi­ble louder than before. This tim~ he was sure that the roof, at least, mQst have fallen in, but again he could find nothing amiss, and still the boys and young men were sleeping as soundly as ever. Next mornings' s examination revealed nothing, nor could anyone give him any light on the mystery .. • Es war ein so grosse bumps. " he told them, that he could not underst~nd how it was possible that it did not wake them up But no one had heard it. The good man ne\'er solved the mystery, but " grosse bumps " be­came a saying that is still quoted on occasion .

FAIRVIEW.

Bro. Henry Snyder, Secretary and Treasurer of the new church, re­ports 'pleciges and payments up to the beginning of Aug-ust, $97800. Of this amount, $300 has been paid out for the two lots upon which the building is to stand.

Bro. Wm, Pfohl is drawing the plans for the new church. which will be of brick with a chapel annex, the main room to seat 200. Just as much remains to be raised, as has been ~i\'en, so Fairvie~ still begs earnestly but very hopefully for help.

CLnfMONSVI LLE,

The pastor, Bro. Hall, gave a very large porriorl . .of the month to this new work. There was but one preaching sen,·ice. This was well attended and the :-inging of Mora­vian tunes and the responses in the Litany were very hearty.

The canvass of the community in the interest of the con~regation ~md school. which was bfOgun last month was l:ompleted, and as a result we expect to organize with about thirty-­five members and open ~he school with 60 or 70 scholars. Bro. J. K. Pfohl accompanied the pastor on the 17th and 18th of July. The month

of July is made historical in this new field' development, furthermore, from the facts that school building opperations were begun towards its close. On July 27th , Mr. William Spaugh, of Salem, with a number of his mason began the brick work of the parsonage, and on the 31St, \ Messrs. Charles Cooper and Frank Cash, both of C1 mmo nsville, began the framing of th e wood work, Pr s­peets , upon the whole, continue to brighten.

FRIEDBERG.

On Sunday, July tho a good con­gregation was g;.tthered for the morn ­ing service at Friedberg, About the middle of the afternoon a very severe storm passed over the country, Thp. storm was so severe that the pastor was prevt!nted from reaching Enter­prise in time for service. Before his arrival at the church the congrega­tion had dispersed.

On Monday, July 9th, it was the pastor's sad duty to bury the remains of Frank Shutt, a young man who was killed by lightning the previous afternoon.

On Sunday, July 29th, a mission­ary meeting was held at Friedberg, under the auspices of the Friedberg Missionary Society. The principal address was made by the Rev. Ru­fus Faw, of the German Baptist Brethren's Church.commonly known as Dunkers. The address was ex­cellent. and in view of the fact that a Dunker made it, very remarkable. Only a few years past this branch of the Christian church was strongly opposed to Sunday St:hools and For­eiKn Missions. now, the reformed or modernized wing advocate both and are making active eRorts in the line of both.

MAVOOAN,

The Dedication, Sunday.July 22d, was everything that had been hoped for. A beautiful decoration of flow­ers brightened the platffJrm and har­monized well with the canopy of bunting and fia~s overhead, At the opening of the service, Sr. Bettie Ann Knight was solemnlyconfirmed. Bishop Rondthaler preached the con­secration sermon. and a crowded church and chapel listened most at­tentively. Then followed the act of consecration which was performed with respon!'live service, according to the Ritual IJf the Moravian Church.

OAK GROVE

I Communicated .]

The new Oak Grove church, for that is the impression which one re­ceives when he sees the change which the painter' s brush has wrought, was filled with a large congregation to greet Bro. Edward Wolle on the first Sunday of August. It was the Sunday following the protracted meetin,g, and in a neighboring chapel another was just beginning; under these circumstances the large num­ber present was sufficient evidence that Bro. Wolle's visit of nine years ago was not forgotten. and 'hat he had many warm friends among the Oa~ Grove people.

The large number of young peo­ple present,-both young men and young ladies,-was very gratifying, and tihould of itself be an enc~)Urage­

ment to those in c~arge of the' work I there, Tbe interest of these, young I

persons accounts for the hearty sing- I

ing fo. which Oak Grove is noted; and they easily sustained their repu­tation on this. occ<lsion.

Bro. Wolle chose as his text, Heb. 13 : 8, I. Jesus Christ, the same yesterday, to-day and forever," a subject peculiarly appropriate and encouraging just at the close of the protracted meetings. The lessons impressed upon the minds of all were of double value, because 'So

No doubt many of our readers are aware that

a considerable portion o f our mission support is

received from sources outside of the Moravian

Church. When the subject of "Chllrch Comity"

was presented at the Ecumenical Conference in

New York. the Rev. Paul de S chweinitz, of

Bethlehem. Pa ., representing the Moravian

Board of Missions, said: .j The topic this morn­

ing gives me an opportunity to say something

that has been on my heart ever since we came

together. We Moravians have experience;:d

much kindness at this Conference. a nd many

of the speakers have alluded to our work in en­

thusiastic terms. We deem it appropriate to

say something in return. We do not desire

this praise for ourselves, but we accept it joy­

fully as to our Lord ."

"Now, it is true that for SS commanicants at home we have a foreign missionary abroad. (Applause.) But, brethren, it would be utterly impossible for us to do that and to carryon our work if it were not for the support of Christians of othtr denominations. I want to ~ive you three or four concrete cases. I understand that at one of the sectional meetings one of the mis­sionaries fr~m Australia spoke of our work there. We have indeed a very sllccessful work

THE CL'EM.MOlS SCHOOL.

From the Principal, Bro. J. Kenneth Pfohl , we learn that the prospects lor the new school are very encouraging. The new desks having been shipped. it is hoped that a beginning may be made on Wednesday. Sept. 26th. Three rooms have been fitted up in the old Douthit store. which stands about in the centre of the town. In passing through Clemmonsville re­cently. the writer was much pleased with the neat and well -kept appearance of the commu­nity . Excellent roads lead to Clemmonsville from various directions, and there is every rea­son to believe that the new school can become quite an institution, not only for the immediate neighborhood, but for the surrounding country:

Judging from present prospects, the school will open about seventy . five strong.

The young men to(jk their evening walks in a body, in harge of their superior. As the s in­g le sist rs exercised in th e same way , it would happen that thes two parties of pedestrians frequ ently met ea h other. Wheth er there were any mis iy s clandestinely exchanged on these

ccasions we do not know- that there were ad­miring glances on the part of the young men, we can readily believe. At any rate their meet­ing so often was a much to be deplored matter, and the Boarci took it into con ' ideration , being of the opinion that evil consequences might easily ensue, and they greatly desired to adopt some " good rule" by which the difficulty could be overcome. Unfortunately, suitable routes for walks were scarce in the small place, and it wa5 found impracticable to interchange. So nothing could be done in the matter-the even­ing walks continued-the brethren eyed the sisters as they passed each other, and we may be rea onably sure that the sisters did not turn their pretty faces another way.

The Saviour's words that the poor are always with us, applied in those days, and a poor box was kept, out of which was paid some six or seven pounds annually.

A sick room was also provided for the inmates needing such care. A library too was in the house-another indication of the careful provis­ion made for the good of the inmates.

The number of the brethren Jiving in the house varied (rom thirty to fifty.

Of the rules and regulations laid down by the HeIfers V. Conference for the management of the S. B. House, I have not been able to find any record. There are occasional references to them as having been revised, from time to time, but no copy seems to be in existence.

Everyone as a matter of course, was occu­pied at some industry ; there were no loafers. Boys were apprenticed by their fathers to the warden. and then by him to some master work­man, to learn a trade or business, and in that case pas~ed out from the control of the parent completely. As such an arrangement is not known at the present time, it has been suggest­ed that I read one of these articles of indenture.

The "graduation, " or promotion exercises, are attractive and interestlOg to the children, although. of course, they are very simple. The members of the class who had completed the COUI se of studies were seated together on the rostrum, facing the School, and. standing, re-

3 cited the things which they had learned during the course of their supplemental studies. These recitations were interspersed with songs by the class Clnd by the school, and the exercises were closed with the presentation, by the pastor, to each of the" graduates," of a prettily engraved certificate of promotion, or " diploma," accom­panied with a few appropriate remarks, closing with an earnest prayer in behalf of the School,. and especially for the newly formed class.

This course of supplemental studies has now become one of the r~ular features of our Cen­terville Sunday School. and is continued along more advanced lines after the classes enter the main school; the first claas graduated having since that time completed an outline study of the life of Christ.

BETH ANIA.

The intense heal has been a severe test on the faithfulnes·· of our mem ­bers, but quite a number have brave ­ly held thei r ground. The "staying qualities" of our people were shown in the interest manife ted in the 13th of August Fe tival, which was held on the "d unday. Al thoug h the heat was v ry oppressive, the breth­ren and sisters came together from all quarter , and united heartily in the services 0 the day.

Bro. Wolle, of Philadelphia, Pa., preached the sermon, choosing as his text, I John 3:14, "We know that we have passed from death unto life , because we love the brethren." The sermon d eeply impressed the large company present , and was a

fitting preparation for the lovefeast and communion . Some less than two hundred members and friends gathered at the table of the Lord, and the Saviour's presence was deeply felt . At th is .service Sr. Ger­tie Marshall was received from the Methodist Episcopal Church. \Ve were glad to have Bro. J. K. Pfohl with us on this festal day.

During the month Bro. Lash and the pastor, in company with a num­ber of the Alpha Sunday School, took a three days' outing among the Sauratown Mountains. Moore's Springs, The Cascade and other points of interest were visited.

An ice cream festival wa~ given at Olivet Chapel on the evening of the 18th. The net proceeds amounted to $18.00.

On the evening of the 25th, a lawn supper was given at Mizpah. About $18.00 was the amount realized.

On Friday evening, Aug. 31st, the Children's Mite Society, under the dirt.ction of Mrs. Strickland, gave a musicale in the Bethania church. The children acquitted themselves admirably, showingmuch painstaking effort on the part of their leader.

CALVARY.

. FRIEDBERG.

The Friedbel g Sunday School pic­niced at Nissen Park on the 4th of this month . The chief feature of the day was the street car ride from the Park to West Winston and return.

The celebration of the 13th of Au ­gu 't on the 2d Sunday was not dif­fer nt from othf>r years . There was a large congregation , and all ap­peared to enjoy the day. The offer­ing for our Bohemian Mission was c lled for, and from aU indications the total amount for the congrega­gation will be $30, which is $10 more than last year, or $18 more than the year before.

Bro. Theodore Knauss' wife died on the morning of the 18th. The funeral services were held at Fried­berg on the next day. A very large congregation of sympathizing rela­tives and friends was present.

On Sunday, August 19th, the Children's Festival was held. Special eftorts were made by the parents to have their children come, and, as a result we had an excellent celebra­tion

On Sunday, the 26th, Bro. Wm. Spaugh began the Enterprise special meetings. The services were con­tinued until Friday evening of the same week. In addition to the pas­tor and Bro. Spaugh, the Brn. Chas. Crouch and Howard Rondthaler rendered valuable. aid, and many people expressed their gratification at having these brethren with us. The results of the meeting were of a cheering character. The member­ship, and christian people generally, were strengthened and encouraged, and eight young people were lead to Christ.

(In the 26th of August the Hope people celebrated the 120th anniver­sary of the founding of the old Hope congregation, and the 125th anni­versary of the building of the old Hope church. The services were preaching, loveteast and communion. In the preaching service the pastor spoke of the beginning of the con­gregation, and the changes that have taken place since then_ In the love­feast several memoirs of the original Hope members were read, for in­stance, tho14e of John Douthit, Chris­topher Elrod, Joseph Boner and Mary Padgett. The congregation appeared to be deeply interested and man),: expressed their pleasure and gratification at having bee, present.

Though the pastor was absent from the work here for four weeks, enjoying his vacation in Pennsyl­vania, the regular services were all held, and the interest was steadily maintained. Of course, quite a num­ber were away from town, but the members that were at home were faithful in their church att~ndance, and therefore the Fall session began with as much encouragement as we co.ld wish. At the first prayer­meetin~ in September the topic was ., Seekmg Souls," and, we trust, that throughout the coming months this may be the keynote of all the service and effort at this place. Es­pecially would we remember the members of the congregation whom business or other necessity has called to other communities. May we all still be joined in a true fellow~hip of

The protracted meeting which be­gan on Saturday evening, Aug. 18, and continued until the following Friday night, was a time of great spiritual refreshing. The attendance upon the services was good through­out. The day meetings were con· tinued during the series. While there were no direct conversions, yet the pastor and workers believe the congregation is on a firmer basis than before, and that the results will be lasting . Oall and lee him. ClI,"'kel

brethren. Day servi ces we re held on unday, Monday ano T uesday. From the happy state of things just

noted, we think that we may safe ly lea rn three great lessons with regard to suctessfu l revival meetings: first, that there must be much preparatory visiting throughout the neighborhood. for thi ha ' l> en well done by the new pastor, who ha , from time to time, dUJing the past few month, given

everal day together to a thorough house to house II canvass, " on spi r it­ual lines. Secondly, that there must be a great deal of earne&t and united definite prayer, for the worker among souls who knows this sec ret is the only one who can then claim the answer . And, thirdly, that the blessing will begin to come just as soon as the members become willing to bestir themselves, confessing their desire for deeper personal experience of God's grace, but at the same time eager to gain for others the light that they themselves have. A backward, unre-sponsive congregation is too heavy a burden with which to begin a series of meetings. If these three things would be kept in mind thto\1ghout the year as we look forward to lhe time usually devoted to evangelistic efforts for the unsaved, we may rest confident that much greater thing!i would result for the Master's praise. We thank God for what He has wrought among us. Yet may we keep on asking for the" showers."

SOUTH·SIDE·

In the last week in August, very unlooked for, a seven days' meeting was held in the shed at the Cotton Mill. Thursday was the day of be ginning. The interest was very great . Five made a profession, and many church members were revived. It was a happy time. The meetings were all held by Bro. Clarence Crist, as just at this time it was difficult to get any clerical or lay assistance.

NEWS OF THE WORLD.

to be reassured, and the anxi ety was pa~sing away when the first approach of the storm appeared. The' force of the wind illcrea<;ed rapidly, and it became apparent that the approach­ing storm was more than an ordinary tempest. By night matters had grown so terrible that the ity was in con­sternation. Business men tried to reach thei r home. traffic was sus­pended, the waves on the shore we re booming like cannon, and the instru­ment for measuring the velocity of the wind registered the rate of 100 miles per hour and was then blown away. Rain fell in torrents, the city was in darkness, and then the work of des­truction began . It must be remem­bered that a considerable portion of the island on , which the city of Gal­veston stands is only:\ few inches abt)ve sea level. When the statemt:nt is made that the waves rose 25 feet or more in places, and when it is remem­bered that this water was driven by the wind rushing along at the rate of more than 100 miles an hour, the terror of that night of darkness will dawn upon the mind. The storm lasted 30 hours, but was at its height during the night.

The facts that have come to light since then are not complete, the story in all its horror will never be told. The city of Galveston was one of the most important shipping points in the South. It had a population of about 60,000 inhabitants. Of these not less than 5,000 perished that night . When the lists of dead in other towns are added the total loss of life will reach 7,000. The propert V loss is beyond calculation. The city is vir­tually ruined. Hardly a single build­ing escaped injury. Large portions of business sections and residence dis­tricts are completely ruined. No in­surance can be collected for storm damage. Captitalists will fear to in · vest further in a city subject to the destruction of wind and wave, lind officials and private citizens express

The regulation with regard to these younger brethren is lIot yet at all accord · ing to my mind, and lor . veral ytars years I have th oug ht of chonging it ~I~ JlIllo ws. viz: So soon as a youth enters the Single Choir. hl' must tak e a room and pay what the other breth· rell Ju, lur house expenses and dinner, but the evening soup. butter and bread, which is given tll the younger brethren and boys, shall cease. and instead, the master shall allow him enough muney fur supper and breakfast, that ht: can get from the kitchen what ht: wants. This would be better according to my way of thinking and I shall see if it cannot be ~o arranged.

The farm was located south of the now so called papt"r-mill woods, the locality known for ~enerations as the old rock house place, now owned by Granville Nading. It was managed for many years by Chr. Gottlieb Clauder, his compensation being $125. 00 per annum, with board, hou!'c rent, fuel and lights free.

The mill was some mile and a half down the creek, the well-known Hege mill site. Johann Herbst was the miller ..

Butchering was done in the building built in 1783-4 recently taken down by Mr. Edw. Peter­son, his former cabinet shop, where his father commenc~d, and his brother William and him­self continued to carryon the furniture and un­tlertaking bu~iness until a few years ago.

organization and one church building would be amply su fficient. There seemed 'no valid reason for the existence of the three. especially since all three were a charge upon their respective Home Mission Boards. Self-support was plain­ly impossible for any, while the town afforded ample means for supporting one pastor without calling upon outside aid. During union Gospel meetings last winter the Christians of Banning were brought vi~ibly closer and the preaching of the Gospel of Christ without sectarian dogma­tism showed how closely Christians could work together. Nor was that the t:nd of it. Brotherly agreement was in the air. Finally, a few weeks ago, the Presbyterians and Methudists discuss­ed the question of uniting as one congregation. and of supporting their pastor from their own resources Articles of agreement were drawn up and signed by nearly all the members in both organizations, and a salary of $650.00 pledged . But which congregation should be the one to disband? Should the Methodists turn

In 1805 the J:rice of a dinner was raised from

still standing, having gone through many changes of occupancy during these more than a hundred years. In the kitchen.Johann Kuschke had charge followed by Heinrich Kleisner.

His salary,in­c1uding board, was 36 'Pounds per annum, with 6 per cent. of the profits. He died in 1798, aged 85 years. and the business seems to have been discontinued at his death.

In the second part of the mid week prayer meeting of Sept. 26th, R ev . R . C. Cadding. who for eight years has been a missionary in Sierra Leone, in West Africa, gave us a most interesting account of the pio­neer work that is being carried on towa rd the interior of that dark con­tinent. The Moravian c.: urch once had a Mission on that western coast. but now most of our attention is centered upon South and East Cen­tral Africa. It was the most inter­esting, therefore, to hear from that

ever since its establishment, this sc.ool has bepn a great power for good among the young people, and a splendid ally of the church. May it always continue so.

On the evening of Sept. 27th, a very large congregation gathered for the lantern missionary evening, conducted by the pastor. Ancient a nd modern missions were briefly compared , and then views illustrat­ing the work in the Holy Land it,ljelf and in Africa were thrown on the screen. A collection of $1.62 was taken for Mi sions.

The attendances at church services throughout the month have been uniformly good.

Narrative of the Consecration of the New Church in Salem. November 9th. 1800.

As our new church , the corner-stone of which had been laid on Jnne 12th. 1798,. was now, un­der the blessing of our dear Lord, finished so far that it could be used for worship, it had been resolved to consecrate it on this day. The an­nouncement had been made to our neighbors and friend s in the country. In consequence of this notice such a multitude of people gathered, that th e new , large and roomy church was far from cunta in ing them all. Their number was e~ tiOl a t ed at about 200 .

Shortly before 9 0 ' dock. the members and visitors assembled on the open grounds, the men aside of the Boys' School. the women before the old chapel , and between the two stood a church band . On the stroke of nine the Breth­ren of the Elders' Conference, with a few of the ministers who had come from elsewhere. Celme, in procession , out of the old congregation­house. The church band led the way into the new church, playing the choral: II God bless our going out, and bless our coming in," The Brethren of the Elders' Conference and all the rest who were present followed them. When the first in the procession entered the new au­dience-room. they ceased playing, and the tune was finished by a second band stationed in the gallery.

During the time of entering, the full choir sang . . 1 This is the day the Lord hath made." Hereupon a few more chorals were played, amid ? sense of reverential peace and a deep silence, until the great crowd was quiet.

Then the following prayer was offered out of the Church Litany:

Lord God, our Father in heaven! Hallowed be thy name,

Lord God, Son. thou Saviour of the world , Be graciolls unto us.

Lord God, Holy Ghost, abide with us forever.

Next, the N. T. blessing was sung: .1 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Ghost, be with us all. Amen."

Then the double choir sang : .• The Savior's blood and righteousness,

Remain the Church's glorious dress, Wherein Christ's sacraments and Word

Are taught, and gracious help afford.

Thus will the Church united here, Enjoy the peace of God most dear,

Wherewith believing hearts are blest, Which on Christ' s blood and merits rest.

Oh, that in this now sacred pla,ce. May dwell the Spirit of all grflce ;

Then sinners poor wiJ) here receive The pardon ~iven those who believe. "

Thereupon Bro. Benzien said: •• For many years it had been an earnest wish of the congre­gation in Salem, in view of the increase of their members, and the larger attendance of their dear neighbors upon their services. to have a more commodious 'place of meeting. The build ­ing of a new church had, therefore, been re­solved upon, some vears ago, notwithstanding the considerable difficulties attending such an enterprise in this part of the country. The building had been undertaken, trusting to our dear Lord, and through his gracious assistance and blessing, it had now been completed so far that we could, to-day. for the first time, meet

.- :

in the new audience-room before Him. and praise and extol him in this place with deeply moved hearts that he had so graciously heard our earnest prayer, offered at the corner-stone laying and during the period of erection; so that no one of the brethren or laborers engaged on the edifice had met with any hurt. He had, also, through the faithful arrangement and help of our brethren enabled us to meet a consider­able part of the large building expenses, in view of which as the debt is still not a small one, we ask our members and friends for their further aid."

Then he mentioned that the consecration of this church fell in the very month in which some of the important events had occurred connected with this settlement: for instance, the arrival of our brethren in Wachovia to settle it, 47 years ago; the consecration of the congregation chapel in this place, 29 years ago.

Hereupon he spoke of the purpose of this church-building,-that the Word of the Atone­ment might be preached in it; that we might rejoice together in our Lord God, that we might receive the blessing of His Holy Sacraments. To this end it was the custom to present such u house, in an especial manner, to our Lord and God, and for this we are assembled on the present Sunday in the church.

The choir and the congregation now sang, alternately, the stanzas of the hymn: ., Most holy Lord and God." During the singing the congregation arose, for, in view of the crowd, it was impossible to kneel down, and Bro. Ben­:lein prayed earnestly to the Saviour that he would be graciously pleased to be especially present with his people in this house. as often as they were here assembled in his name that he might fill it with his gracious self; that he would be busy in influencing through his Holy Spirit, all who should enter it to hear the words of life, so that all troubled, weary, huugry souls might be comforted, refreshed and satisfied by the word of the Gospel here proclaimed; that he, would give grace so that, to the end of days. nothing else might ever be preached in this house but the Word of the Cross. and the re­demption of sinners effected by Christ; that all church services, un~lertaken in this house. espe ­cially the baptism of our children and the enjoy­ment ofthe Holy Communion, might be blessed with his gracious presence, and that, in no case, would he permit us to go away from this conse­crated plaee unblessed. Then he thanked our dear Lord for this new church which he had given us, and for his gracious protection and safe-keeping of those who had been engaged in its building, and he prayed to him earnestly that he might from to-day on anew bless the congregation in Salem, and all the congrega­tions in Wachovia and their children, and let them be a light in this neighborhood and a blessing for the whole land; that he would en­dow all faithful servants of the Church in this land with grace and power confidently to con­fess the saving word of the Gospel; that he would have mercy on all the inhabitants of this country, and bless the government of the United States, and of this State in particular, and give them thoughts of peace and concord and long continue the whole land in a state of peace.

sang: cant members of all the congregations in Wa­chovia might meet together before our Lord and Chief Elder, and worship him, and at the same time partake of the Holy Communion with one another. As we had now, by means of our new church. obtained room enough to carry out this wish, invitations had already been sent out on Nov. 2d to all the congregations. This awakened great joy everywhere. ; n con­sequence every body came (with the exception of a few sick) and so early that the first festal ~ervice could he held already at 9 0' clock.

•• Amen, yea, hallelujah, Triune God, our joy and peace."

Soon after, If:o Simon Peter, of Bethania, preached the German sermon.

At the opening the choir sang: •• Let all that hath breath praise the Lord,

Oh that every pulse were a thanksgiving and every breath a song.

Let all that has breath, praise the Lord. HaIlelujah J The congregation sang :

Blessing, praise, honor, glory, thanks, Power and might To Him who liveth eternally.

This was followed by the solo:

The Lord is in his holy temple. Let all the world keep silence before him.

After an earnest prayer, Bro. Peter quoted the utterance of Jacob, Gen. 28:17: II How holy is his place; it is none other but the house of God." He spoke of the holiness of such a house consecrated to the Lord, and of the rev­erence which all should have who assembled in it Then he preached upon the word of Jesus: •• Where two or three are gathered in my name there am I in the midst of them." with great 'ac­ceptance, and with a happy sense of the divine witness to the experience of the orace of God in these meetings.

In conclusion. the hymn was sung: II Now let us praise the Lord."

Then, the English sermon was preached by Bro. Kramsch, of Hope, upon the words, Isa· iah 62:6: .. Oh Jerusalem, I will set watchmen upon thy walls." We rejoiced in the attention paid in these two services, and which was equally evident on the part of the many English-speak­ing people present.

After both sermons, collections wei e taken up for the church building. In the afternoon a general lovefeast was held. 1000 cakes had been baked, but they needed to be cut in two on account of the multitude of people. The lovefeast was held with a Psalm, prepared in the English language, to the great joy of those present.

In this way the meetings of the solemn con­secration of our new church were concluded,and the people returned to their homes with an es· pecial impression in their hearts of a sense of the presence of God, which they had felt in all the meetings. This feeling kept them in such a state of reverence that, although the number of them was so great, not the slightest noise or mischief occurred. Some even declared that this day, on which the presence of God had been so remarkably revealed, would bt" revealed from generation to generation.

In the evening, at 8, the congregation united, with joyful and thankful heart, in singing Litur­gy NO.3, "0 congregation, rejoice; bring the Lord praise and honor in all thy choirs," and thus we concluded this festal day to which so much grace had been vouchsafed by our dear Lord.

After the singing of several hymns, Bro. Ben­zien related; at length, the story of the impor­tant event whereby the Saviour had gr;}ciously manifested himself to his servants, met in Con­ferenl..e on S ept. 16, 1741, in London, and had caused them to know that He would be and remain the Head and Elder of His •• Brethren" flock. How this important event had, on Nov. 13th, been announced to all the congregations and received with the deepest emotion; so that all hearts felt themselves unitedly stirred to de­vote themsdves, without exception, entirely to the Saviour as His property. in body and soul, and to submit their will to His, and their whole conduct to the customs and rules of His house with joy. He went on to tell how gloriously the Saviour had, since that time, helped the congregations, and had not yet ceased to deal g-raciously with them as their Lord and Chief Elder. and to carryon his happy rule among them; to support His servants in their counsels with His own help and counsel. and cause them to recognize His mind and will; how He had, also, shown Himself to be the most faithful Friend of an those who, with willing heart, had yielded to His gracious direction, and had kindly and particularly dealt with them for their gracious aid.

As on this day, which is, in a festal manner, celebrated in all the Brethren's congregations, and which is also the anniversary day of the congregation in Salem , wherein it thankfully remembers the thoug'hts of peace with which He has guided us in Sd.lem, as well as in all the Wachovia ch urches for over 30 years­all the comlllunicants are met in the new church for the firs~ time, we lIlay surely use this day with joy. to remember thankfully the innumer­able proo(..; of grace thus far received, and our happy lot to belon~ to the people living ' under . 'lis in1m~di.lte ~uidance and advice. At the -;llllt! time we may empl(.y the day for the re­IIcw;}1 of nur covenant which the whole Breth­"('n s UnilY has formed with Him. to be His 'Iilhful people and subject to him with a willing

i p:'an. and ~l1b\llilted in childlike and simple va)' to His rule.

r n this connection we also thought of the l.',.nJ(reRalion oi Nazareth which celebrates its 1l1mv~rsary on the same day. and wish that the

Saviour may also affect them with new grace ~11c1 t'~pt:cially bless everyone of their members.

While singin~: .. Welcome, amid thy flock or grace," we fell upon our Knees before our Lord and Chief Elder, thanked him with all our heart for his iaithful effort to make us such peo­ple as should, already on earth, experience His full salvation. We also recognized, with deep shame, our great backwardness ill growing into his fuJI mind with re~ard to us, to live for Him and for Him alone; and that the grace of being under his rule 'Nas not yet so generally prized among us, but that much selfish living still is to be found in our midst: that we were not yet all so given to the guidance of His staff and hand that he could do with us as he chOse, and take from us what grieved Him and we asked His gracious forgiveness on this account, and prayed

To the Members of the Moravian Congregation at Salem,:N. C. :

Dear Brethren and Sisters: We, the Members of the nity' s Miss ion

Board, have been informed by Bro. Rondthaler of the contemplated celt!bration on November 9th to lIth of the Centennial Anniversary of your Church. We therefore hasten to express our cor­dial congratulations and best wishes on this festive occasion . We rejoice with you over all the good­ne, and mercy which you have, as a congrega­tion, experienced at the hands of our covenant­keeping Head and Saviour throughout the past century; during which one generation after an­other has enjoyed in this hallowed sanctuary the blessedness of communion with the Lord, and of ~ hristian fellowship in Him, as well as sea­' ons of much spiritual refreshing, at which many have been led to the Saviour, and have been built lip in faith, love, and holiness, being thus made meet for the inheritance of the saints in light.

Our heartfelt wish and prayer for you is that He who" loves the gates of Zion more than all the dwellings of Jacob," may cause His abundant blessing to rest upon all your as 'emblies, and that of your church it may still be said, "This and that man was born there, and the Lord himself shall establish her."

May the precious promise, "I will pour my . pirit up un thy seed, and my ble ing upon thy off:;1 ring, and they shall spring up as among the grass a willows by the water courses.' Isaiah 44, 3 and 4, be abundantly fulfilled to you and your children after you!

We make use of this opportunity to thank you, dear Brethren -and Sister for all the interest you have hitherto shown in the Unity'S Mission work. We trust that while you are actively en­deavoring to " lengthen the conls,and strengthen the stake. ," of the Lord s work in your own immediate neighborhoo , you will al:o find a growing and d~epening intere!st in the e pecial work laid upon the Brethren's Church, to carry the ospel into the reg ion ' beyond" where l1I:my are still' 'itting in darkne ' and t he! region of the hadow of death.'

POB a SPAUGH with him, cheerfully obeyed the call to move thither. Now, with failing

health, she goes about visiting the sick, and reading to those who de­sire it. There is another Sister who has been ordained a deaconess, and at the Lord's Supper we may see her carrying the Bread which her hnsband, the ministel, di!5trihutes to the Communicants.

Let us step into the Sisters' House, and see how the unmarried women and older girls pass their time. How orderly everything is,­each of the thirty-two women seems to have her own appointed task. Perhaps the" Vorsteher,' '-the Sis­ter in charge of the business affairs, will take us through the building. This is the work-room of the older girls, and they are learning to sew, and spin, and knit. Raw . cotton costs 32 cents a pound we are told, and worsted yarn brings 65 cents; stockings are worth from 50 cents to go cents a pair, and she will guaran­tee that they are well knit. Near by some of the older women are spin­ning wool, and cotton, and flax, the latter two for use on the looms in the adjoining house. There were table linen and bed linen ; striped goods at 28 cents a yard, and mate­rial half linen and half cotton at 60 cents a yard with piles of yarn sent in by a neighbor waiting to be wo­ven. Next the glove making depart­ment is shown, and we ask ·whether these industries pay. The Sister fairly beams with pride as she tells that the building cost £Ig89:15:7, or at the current rate of $2.50 to the Pound, k,724.44. That about half of that amount was contributed by the Unity'S Wardens Department, and generous friends in Europe and at home, but that when the Sisters moved into their house in April, 1786. they assumed a debtof$2004.-35. increased to $2204 35 the follow­ing year by the building of a Laun­dry. $500.00 of this was canceled at the death of the Brother from whom it had been borrowed, anoth­er Brother who lent them a similar amount, has just released his claim. after having for several years refused to accept and interest thereon. The remaining $1,204.35 was due the Salem Congregation Diacony, and by economy and diligence during these years, the Sisters have paid back every cent, principal and inter­est. The money came from the Weaving and Glove-making, Spin­ning, Laundry and Kitchen, and from Room Rent, it being custom­tomary for each Sister to pay a small sum, about four cents a week, as rent, and while preparing her own breakfa.,t and supper, to get her din­ner from the Kitchen at a reason­able price. Then we meet the Chor­Helterin, who has charge of aU the Single Sisters and older girls in the c.ongregation and she tells us of the careful spiritual oversight given to each one, and invites us to be pres­ent at the religious servic'!s of the congregation during our visit.

Sunday morning dawns bright and clear, and at 9 0' clock the Gemein Saal is well filled, -the new Church is not quite ready for use. The Lit­any is prayed, and at 10 o'clock the Preaching Service is held. At the afternoon meeting announcement is made of the Communion to be cele-

rately, of course. Th\lrsday, after a Liturgical service for communicants, there is a Song Service for all. Fri­day night the weather is so bad that the usual service has to be omitted, but during the day the Brethren and Sis ters charged with the oversight of the various portions of the Congre­gation have had a private talk with each member, helping him or her to prepare for the Communion . On Saturday evening a Lovefeast takes the place of the usual Song Service, and brings the week to a close.

In spite of the duties and toils of the day the women have faithfully attended all of these services, and as we note their simple, earnest piety, their ready obedience to those in authority, . their skill, their energy, and thrift, we step back into the present with a profound reverence for the useful. successful lives that so greatly influenced the growth and developmennt of this community.

On Sunday, Nov. 4, the startling word went out through the congregation that uur beloved brother, Robert McCuiston, had passed suddpnly from this lift: early in the morning. For many years he was a devoted member at Friedland, always ready to take a cheerful part. The Sun­day School was especially near to his heart . In all kinds of weather he was at his place, on Sunday, as Superinten­dent, and never grew weary in hisetforts to please the children and to interest the grown people in the work. In Sunday School and Church his place will be sadly missed. The text which Bishop Rondthaler took for the funeral discourse very fittingly describes the faithfulness of Bro. McCuiston: •. Well done, good and faithful servant; enter thou into the joy of thy Lord."

that has not, at least, some attempt at decor.t- y _ __ +_---tion. But there are many whose business pre­vents any celebration of Christmas day. The car conductors. the firemen, the policemen, for all of these Christmas day is like every other day. In the sweat shops, the weary workers toil on in their enoless stitching from dark until dark. Civilization makes it necessary for the world to run on in its ordinary grooves. Not even for Christmas can it stop. There must be some ever and eternally at the machine, work­ing while the rest of us play. It is well worth bearing in mind, also, that tbere are others who, through poverty, want, sickness or loss, will have very little Christmas unless we make haste and bestir ourselves in their behalf.

Another Mission Tie.

The recent visit of Bro. and Sr. Guido Gross-man, ('nroutt' to our Mosquito Coast Mission in Nicaragua. has become the occasion of another tie binding us to the Mission Fields.

Bro. Gros~man is an attractive young Ger­man, but recently marrieci, and was accom­panied by his bride, who is to share with him the privations of the Mission life in Central America.

This young missionary couple left Germany during October, shortly after their marriage. and having spent several weeks in the Northern Province, visited Salem, December 2nd to 6t~.

While here Bro. Grossman had the opportu ­ni ty of speaking several times, once to the Min­isters' ConferEnce in Winston, again before our own Monthly District Conference, and also at a Missionary Meeting in the Home church.

Bro. Grossman speaks E nglish quite fluently and interested his hearers in his modest and earnest remarks.

This young missionary has had qui te a unique history. T o begin with he is a product of that quiet and self-sacrificing work of our Church. the Diaspora. Several years of his earlier life , were spent in the German artillery, near Dres­den, then for a few years following he was a baker in H errnhut. Since that time his efforts have been directed towards a thorou gh prepara­tion for the Mission Work. F irst he attended a school preparatory to Home Mi sion Work in Germany, and then took later the usual course at our Mission Institute in Niesky. After this preparation he lived for a short whil e in Eng· land in order to acquire the English language, and then in Madrid, for the purpose of acquir­ing the Spanish language . Evidently Bro. Grossman enters into his work after painstaking preparation.

The present prospect of our M03quito Coast work is somewhat gloomy, owing to the recent action on the part of the Nicaraguan govern-

ment in closing all schools not taught in the ~panish language.

This was a blow directly and purposely aimed at our work amongst the young people, and has resulted in the enforced closing of our schools. We can but pray and earnestly hope that God may in His own good way rescue this work of His from the serious dangers which now threat · ens its very existence.

Woman's Work in the Home Church During the Century.

PREPARED BY MISS GERTRUDE SIEWERS FOR

HOME CHURCH CENTENNIAL.

In reviewing the past one hundred years with the intention of noting what the women of this church have done in the line of organized char­ities, we find them quiescent until 1822, when several sisters awoke to the conviction that therp. was call for mission work among the negroes of this community, as well as among those of the \Vest Indies.

As a consequence, fifty-four sisters formed a missionary society. with the negroes of Salem and Foreign Missions as their motive. They have worked steadily on, without intermission, and when. during the first meeting in each year, some one moves a donation to the Colored Sun­day School, the same interest. in unfading freshness, links them to their great-grandmoth­ers. In 1823 the Society built a church (or their mission in Salem, a Sunday School was started, and the Missionary was faithfully assisted by the members. It was supported by them until 1859, when the pastor of the Salem con­gregation was req uested to take charge of it also, as it could no longer be considered a mis­sion church. In thee seventy-eight years the Society has gathered about $7,000.00, which it has bestowed where the need seemed greatest.

THE WACHOVIA MORAVIAN.

One good work, fairly started, suggests an­other, and , a few years later, a society was formed by the Academy teachers , ,who pledged themselves to dev ote certain free hours to the concoction of fancy articles for sale, the pro­ceeds to go for Foreign Missions. This Society flourished for many years, and originated the custom of going to the County Home during the Christmas holidays, with good cheer for the inmates. Let the weather and the state of the roads be as they may, this programme is always carried out, having passed, of late years, into the kindly keeping of the Helping Hand So­ciety.

Early in the forties Miss Sarah Lathrop had a Sunday School for little gi rls in the Sisters' House; for it was not until Nov. 25th, 1849, that Bishop Bahnson opened the first Sunday School session in the chllrch, with thirty-six boys and twenty-one g ir ls. In look ing over the records one finds the women of the church en ­thusiastic work ers from the beginning until now.

During the troublous war times, many of our women were long and busily engaged in making up uniforms for the different companies of sol­diers who went to th e front from this vicinity. After the first battle of Manassas, in response to a cry for as istance, a number of our women went as nurses to Ithe Twenty .first Regiment, which was, at that time, located at Thorough­fare Gap, on the south bank of the Potomac. It was part of the Army of Northern Virginia, commanded by General Beau regard. This reg­iment went out more than 1100 strong, and lost from typhoid fever upwards of 400 men while our sisters were with them. During the long weary years of strife our women never failed to extend a helping hand to the sick and wounded soldiers who were daily passing through on their way homeward. The graves of some of those who fell exhausted at our gates are still tenderly cared for by the descendants of these self-sacrificing women.

In 1867 Elm Street Sunday School was begun by women, who saw the need in that neighbor­hood. This has become a flourishing school, and has some of the founders still faithfully at work there.

In 1877 East Salem Sunday School was started by a sister gathering a class in her own home, and the leaven so worked that a neat chapel was erected for its accommodation.

About twenty years ago the Mite Society was formed, an adjunct to the Women's Missionary Society, giving all its collections to ForeiJ(n Missions.

In 1886 the Young Ladies' Bible Class of the J:lome School gat.hered a Sunday School in Centerville, where they had, the year before, given a Christmas tree to SOrJ1e children. There also a neat chapel was erected for the use of the Sunday School, and later a church membership.

In August, 1887, the Twin City Hospital was opened. This joint effort of the two towns was begun in the smallest possible way. A rented house was sparingly fitted up for this good work, and a series of unremitted f'fforts ensued to support it. The present Hospital, weU­equipped and ~ell-managed, is a monument to the zeal and faithfulness of these women, and has proved a god-send to suffering humanity iQ this community.

In October of the same year the Salem Home made its beginning in an even smaller way, in rented rooms, with meagre furniture, and a poor consumptive and her nurse for the first in­mates. Now, the family gathered in the com­modious home, bought and quickly paid for, numbers th irty, fifteen of whom are children, either fatherless or motherless, in some cases having lost both. It is managed and largely supported by a company of nineteen women, known as the Dorcas Circle, who have been ably assisted by five other circles, named, res pectively, Neighborhood Circle. Willing Work: ers, Warming Ten, For His Sake, and Clothing Band. A Circle of young girls helps also.

1887 was an active year in charitable organi­zation, as it was then that the Industrial Ten fo rmed a society which spends its energies in helping boys and girls to get an education.

In 1890 The Helping Hand Society began its good work, dividing the town into section " ap­pointing visitors for each, and loo~ing into the merits of an application for help before giving it. This is a quiet but most effective charity.

The women of Calvary Church have their Sewing Circle, with sales of handiwork, the pro­ceeds of which go to beautifying their church and grounds.

Christ Church began also with a Sunday School in 1893, which was collected by women of the Home church, another proof that if women can~ot build churches, they can bring about their erection by ways and means well known to them.

The Neighborhood Meeting of Christ Church is a social band of women, who are not afraid of work, if they can, by means of it, improve their church home.

In 1893 the Mission Band, composed of very young women, commenced its activities, and is a power for the cause. They usually donate $100.00 a year, but last year made special effort and doubled that sum. They are now . busy fitting up two rooms in the Bela Home for the use of missionaries on their 'Nay to or from their fields, or on furlough.

The Ever Ready Circle is a Sunday School class which works in many accepta1)le ways for the Hospital and Home.

The Wayside Workers are banded for any charitable work. They have madl;" clothes for needy children, furnished wood in winter and ice in summer, and have written letters to 'Shut Ins.' They especially enjoy helping girls to an Academy education, or giving music facilities where there is talent, and many a timely gift has cheered a young heart at an opportune moment.

The Relief Crew comes to the rescue at any cry of distr~, and is often on hand to help be­fore the cry has gone forth.

Last yt'..lr there was need of extra funds to secure visiting and preaching in the outlying districts, and the Home Mission Auxilliary was formed. 14 women promised to raise what they could among friends (who thereby became mem­bers also), and $260.00 were collected, and, in many cases, a yearly subscription was promised.

Newest of the charities in charge of our women is the Belo Home, of Salem, the gift of Col. A. H. Bdo, which is to be made to do all

In preaching a series of discourses on the places connected with the narrative of our Lord's infancy, I have come to an account of the second of these sacred sites, which was the home of our Lord's mother and his own home during the greater portion of his earthly life.

THE PLACE.

We were riding around a steep mountain spur, on our rough and lonely path toward the village of Nain, when we had our first view of Nazareth, white and gleaming among the Gali­lean hills, as if it were the beautiful city of heaven itself. Later in the day we crossed the broad intervening plain, toiled up the steep road leading over the narrow pass into the Gal­ilean hill country, and came into a deep recess among the mountains, to the town which is so closely associated with the name and life of Jesus. We can hardly call the neighborhood in which Nazareth lies, a valley; it is rather a scooped out place among the surrounding hills. The fields about the town have a bare appear­ance, owing to the limestone rock which often juts forth from the ground, and when the morn­ing mist from the sea creeps over these bare layers of rock, you feel as if you were among the scant pastures of some high Alpine village. But the surrounding foliage brings you back to the fact that you are in a semi-tropical country of richest vegetation. Here stands a feathery palm; yonder there is a group of gnarled olive trees with their pale-green leaves; a little farther on you come to a cluster of orange trees; or to a thicket of pomegrantes, radiant with crims on blossoms. A broad-leafed fig casts its pleasant shade over an humble cottage; a hedge of prickly pear, just bursting out into its yellow flower, impedes your path. On the side of such a partly bare yet fruitful hollow, Nazareth is situated, spreading like an open fan up the north-west ascent of the enclosing hills. Some­times the grade is so steep that the backs of the one Or two story limestone houses are built into the very rock itself.

On the top of this hill, against whose side Nazareth is built, opens the most beautiful view

*Preached in the Home Church, Dec. 9th, 1900, p.m ..........

Jesus at Jerusalem . And there, centuries after­ward, the Crusaders came to be iege St. Jean D' Acre, in the stirring days of Richard the Lion Hearted.

Nazareth, thanks to its connection ~ith the Mory of Jesus, is a fairly prosperolls town of 7500 inhabitants. They form a strange medley of denominations, for there is a Latin quarter. about the Franciscan church; a Mohamedan quarter, around the picturesque mosque ; a Greek quarter, stretching northw 'ird to the church of St. Gabriel; a Jewish colony, clus­tered about its synagogue; while a handsome church, in the heart of the town, and a finely situated Girl's School, high up on the western hill, show he strength of the Protestant Mission influence in Nazareth.

The business streets, which climb the hillside, are a constant novelty to western eyes. Every thing is done in full view, either on the narrow, rough 'paved street itself, or in the open shop­window, where merchant or mechanic sits . Here the blacksmith is at work, hammering out a sickle for tbe approaching harvest, or finishing a rough jack-knife which he offers for a few piastres. Aside of him, the hemp-cleaner has his bow-string stretched as if he were an archer. Next comes the carpenter, working on furni ­ture of strange, Oriental pattern. Tbe cobbler is mending shoes, which, according to western ideas. are past all mending. The wheat seller has his bag of grain open, and. as the Saviour described it, is selling his measure full. "heaped lip and running over." And the fruit seller displays all the rich garden growth of this shel­tered nook among the warm Galilean hills.

There is very little water in Nazareth. Only one spring exists there. It flows forth rich and full under the Greek church of St. Gabriel, and is then carried by pipe to a stone arch along the road, where the washing of clothes and the fill­ing of water jars goes on merrily all tbe day long, and where the traveller is glad to stand still a few moments to listen to the unceasing chatter of the women, in their gayly colored Nazarene costumes.

Wherever else you go in Nazareth, filled as it is, throughout, with suggestions of Jesus, you are sure to visit the beautiful Latin church . You enter its court-yard, walled round as if it were a fortress, and, passing the well in the centre, are soon in a church whose roof rests on great buttresses with arches in between. Its altars are richly decked and decorated with paintings. But it is not before these that you linger. There is a deeper interest to which you approach as

you go down the teps in front of the great altar. They bring you into a basement chapel, and then, by two steps more, into a still lower chapel, where, according to the tradition , the Angel Gabriel appeared to the Virgin Mary. Here, at the entran e of the cave chapel. is an ld half­column, where Gabriel is said to hav stood. Yonder is another half-column . pendent lrom the ceiling where Mary i· aid to h ve stood. You ar aware, you enter the little under ­ground chapel , that what is told you i mere tradition , and that there is another place in Nazareth whose traditional claim i equal to that of the L tin Church with regard to the same event, but the impres ion is just a ' real and vivid as if you were on the certain spot where angel once di coursed with mortal. For you know that s mewher within this narrow circuit of hills. omewher a long the streets of this old town, that virgin mother once lived to whom there came the most momentous mes­sage ever sent from heaven to earth . and which forms the story of our discourse.

THE T RY OF THE TEXT.

The family o! David. like other royal families, had adly declined from its high e ·tate . After the captivity its sceptre was lost, and with this loss came gradually that of all its other property. When the last descendant of David were pre­sented to the Emperor Domitian. to have their royal descent examined into, their labor-worn hands :;howed that they belonged to the poor, hard-working people of Palestine. And this was Mary's case. She was a poor woman, be­trothed to a carpenter in humble circumstances like her own, and we must think of her cottage home at Nazareth as but a poor and lowly one, and, yet, it wa'J honored with a visitor greater than any who ever came into the palace of Au­gustus or of Herod .

At what hour the angel entered we know not. There were, however, two times in the day when the pious Jew was apt to be alone,-at nine in the morning, and at three in the after­noon. Those were the hours of temple sacri­fice, when ~sraelites every where joined their prayers with the solemn ser\-ice in the national sanctuary, and when they were apt to express before the Lord their hope and wish that the long-promised Messiah might SOOI1 appear. And it was with the news of His coming that the angel Gabriel was charged, opening his message with sllch respect and courtesy as might have been gi\'en to the daughter of a king, rather than to a p::.>or Jewish maiden in obscure Nazareth: •• Hail, thou that art highly favored, the Lord is with thee; blessed art thou among womell."

That, on a \,:el1-traveled road. a stranger should have stopped at a cottage-door for some desired help, and his knock have been unno­ticed, this would have been no occasion of alarm to Mary, as she looked up and saw the unknown visitant standing there before hee. But that he should have addressed her in so unusual and exalted a manner, this, as the nar­rative tells us, started a sense of trouble in her sou1.' The sympathetic angel noticed the anx­iety which had thrown its shadow upon her face, and began to answer her inmost questions with

a comforting address: "Fear not, Mary, for I The other comfort arises with the mention of thou hast found favor with God." Then, after Mary's name. It is the comfort of faith. The the manner of the lofty and delicate language painters of all ages have pictured the mother of u ~d in heaven, in words pure as the driven our Lord as having been rarely beautiful. It snow, he told her of her son: "He should be may have been so, but Scripture makes no note Jesus, Son of the Highest, destined for the of the fact. Certain it is that she possessed a throne of his father David , in an everlasting rich poetical genius. Her song bears witness reign; the very Son of God." The answer of to this fact. But, although the hymn of Mary Mary partook of the same angelic purity. It has led the. exultant music of the Church for was humble, modest and God-devoted: "Be- nigh two thousand years, Scripture does not hold, the handmaiden of the Lord ; be it unto dwell upon her genius. \Vhat it does single me according to thy word." Then the cottage out for emphatic praise is her faith. .• Blessed room was as it had been before, the form which is she that believed; for there shall be a per­had seemed to carve itself out of the air dissolved formance of those things which were told her again into its former element.

THE COMFORT LESSONS

As we stand beside Gabriel's pillar and look at Mary's pendant column in the little chapel of the Annunciation, comforts are suggested by the two names suggested in our text.

The one is the angel comfort. Gabriel was a well-loved angel among the Jews, He was counted among the four archangels. He was supposed to have been the person in the field who, in directing Joseph to his brethren, had beckoned him into his great destiny. It was thought that he had helped to bury Moses on the Mount of Vision. He was supposed to be the angel who had destroyed Sennacherib's army. And the Bible itself expressly says that he was the heavenly messenger who, flying swiftly, had touched Daniel in his' season of prayer, and brought him news concerning the future of his people. He was the angel who had recently appeared to Zacharias in the Holy Place, and now he had come with a still greater message into the humble hdme at Nazareth.

These angel visits were remarkable because they were visibly made. But they simply illus­trate the frequent visits on which angels are still sent into the lives of those to whom God directs them. When speaking of his "little ones," the Saviour said that their angels" do always behold the face of my Father which is in heaven." In accordance with this teaching of him who is the Lord of the angels, the bpok of Hebrews says: "Are they all not minister­ing spirits sent to minister unto them who shall be heirs of salvation ?" If you hold fast to the Lord Jesus, his angels will hold fast to you. As their ministry is unseen we can never be ~ure but that some particular providential help or spiritual assistance has come by their blessed hands. We can, however, in a general way. be certain that God uses them in the emergencies of his children and that when, as the Apostle says, they must needs wrestle against what IS more than flesh and blood, against what is the spiritual power of evil arrayed against them, ~t such times the angels will perform an unseen ministry correspondent to those visible angelic helps which are recorded in Scripture. and which shine forth in the history ot Mary of Nazaretb. There is sweet suggestion, likewise, in the touch which Jesus gives to the death of the beggar Lazarus: "He was carried by the angels into Abraham's bosom. MaY1lucb min­istry be granted to you and me in our dying bour!

God simply at his word. We can believe in the truth of his commandments and in his prom­ises. If. in his Word, he bids us repent, we can do it. If he offers pardon, we can accept it. If he commands us to deny ourselves, we can cheerfully take up our cross, believing that it will be for the best. If he opens a new path of duty, we can fearlessly follow it, because we may trust in his coming help. And when he shall call us into the other world we may step into the darkness without hesitation, believing that the everlasting arms are beneath us, and that there is light ahead. Then along heaven's golden streets they will likewise say of us: ,. Blessed are they that believed, for there has been a performance of those things which were told them from the Lord." Amen.

Continued.

Although the bakery was under the manage­ment of the Single Brethren's Diacony, the price of bread, or rather the weight of a four penny loaf of bread was fixed by the" Aufseher Collegium." Under date of August. 1781, there is this entry in the minutes: II In 1774 and 1775 it was ordered that when wheat could be bought, soon after harvest, at 1 sh. 6 p. per bushel. a four penny loaf of bread should weigh 3 Ibs. 12 oz. This is again so ordered." In May, 1791, wheat must have been higher, for the weight of thp. loaf was reduced to 3 Ibs. 4 oz. The brethren were very anxious to ascer­tain Philadelphia prices as a guide.' They pre­pared a table showing what should be the cost of I cwt. of flour, and the weight of a 4 d. loaf of bread, with wheat at prices ranging from 4 sh , in 3 d. steps, to IS shillings.

Shoe-making was done successively by Hein­rich Stoehr, Johann Wuttrobe, Fried Pfiel, Peter Goetze, M. Schneider and Johann Hanke. The salary was 40 pounds, with 6 per cent. of profits. I have not beeD able to locate the room ID which the sboe-making was carried on.

In those early days there were, as we know no ~uch things as mowers and reapers, Dor eve~ gram cradles, but all small grain was cut by hand with sickles. These needed frequent sharpening, we may sup~ose, and So one of the first shops opened by the Congregation Diacony .was a" Schleif-muehle," or Sharpening mill:

This was on the lot where W. J. Peterson now lives, probably across the branch behind his lot.

In 1i72, it was turned over to the Single Brethren's Diacony, and the making of sickles added to its work. Gun and lock-smithing were also connected Nith it about this time, Andrew Glotz was the sickle maker and J os. Miller the gun-8mith. Soon c1ock·making and repairing were somehow mixed up in this general manu­factory, and it became necessary to separate these industries. The lock and clock business went to the Bagge house, the brick building second below the John Vogler house with Jacob Loesch as the master workman. He was follow­ed by Lewis Eberhardt, who there and later . at his own shop on Salt Street, established a rep­utation for superior workmanship. It is well known that he made our church clock, that has served us so long and well, and though it may be somewhat erratic at times, it still does good duty. '

The gun-smithy was probably taken in charge by Christopher Vogler about this time, and moved to his shop on Walnut Street, where A. S. Jones now lives. Many persons still remem­ber the location of the old barn and forge where gun barrels were wrought out of common bar iron, ground into proper shape on a large grind­stone, and then bored and rifled out in his shop across the street. When he retired, his sons !'fathaniel and Timothy succeeded to the busi­ness, and maintained the well earned reputation of the Salem Vogler rifles, until cheaper ma­chine made guns drove them out of this branch of the business.

The first blacksmith shop was opened by Salem Congregation Diacony on the lot just above" Fish Alley." When it was moved is not known, but at an early date, it probably absorbed the sickle-smithy, as there is no furth­er record of that industry. Here it held its' po­sition under Peter Volt,z, John George Smith, John Henry Senseman and others, until not many years ago, our Bro. A. E. Giersch having been the last occupant in this line.

Washing was done in the northwest base­ment room, now Sr. Byhan's kitchen.

The weaving department was located in the " Rights" house. Who operated the looms we do not know, except that a certain Bro. Uppolt was the last one, when the business was discon­tinued, and the two looms sold to Rudolph Crist, whose son Rudolph kept up the business for some years in a little shop on the former Chr. Ebert lot.

... Thos. Spiesike was the tailor, working in the north-east room on the first floor. He was suc­ceeded by Chas. Schroeter and perhaps others, the salary being also 40 pounds and 6 per cent. of the profits. '

CONCLUSION.

It is fair to say that never was Synod more royally entertained, more richly blessed and made to realize more sensibly that the Church is not an organization needing more detail and development, but an or· ganizm needing life and power.

W. H. VOGLER,

that Bro. Thomas was the right man in the right place. Gracious revivals were reported as having visited Gnadenhutten, Ohio, and Indianap­olis, Ind., during the past year.

Each evening found the large and beautifully remodelled church filled with an attentive and deeply inter ested congregation and these special Synodal services were practical, in­tense and powerful.

The first Sunday in December was an encouraging day for the congre­gation. The co~munion was mark­ed by a warm affection among those who partook, and was made all the 'tnore impressive by the confirmation of two of the young girls who hid made profession of Christ at the pro­tracted meeting.

The protracted meeting was held in the week following the second Sunday in November. The time for the meeting was short, but was well filled with earnest effort. Among the very encouraging results we re-

The festival services on Saturdc;y, Nov. 24. were very well attended. In the opening of the communion six members were received by baptism, two by confirmation, and two from other churches. All of this num­ber were converted in the New Phil-

In the church work the increased efflctiveness of the band is adding much to the beauty and spirit of the Sunday School exercises. '

FAIRVIEW.

At last, the roof is being placed on the new Fairview church. and the building is beginning to show for what it will be when complett:d.

On account of the high situation of this general neighborhood, the tower of the church, which is plan­ned to rise "'5 feet, will, no doubt, be prominently visible from every direction.

Much sympathy is felt with our neighbor, Mr. Cicero Tise, who lost his house by fire on Sunday even­ing. Dec. 2d. One of our members, Miss Flora Prim, resident in the house at the tim e, lost practically everything.

By the addition of a few more tin window panes (not window lights) the old rented chapel is being made fairly comfortable for the last winter we shall spend in it.

Much satisfaction is expressed amongst those interested in Fair­view, over the proposed extension of the street car line out Liberty street, which will, perhaps, bring the tracks to our very church door, and do away with the mile walk from the present terminus of the line to the chapel.

Packing cases were used for seats and a small table made the pulpit . . A bright fire was glowing in the open fireplace. For lack of a church bell the pastor procured the largest dinner bell he could find, which he rang in the street for five minutes, gathering thereby a com­panyof worshippers which more than filled the room.

independence. What this movement will amount to, no one can say, but the above three points, viz: Kruger's flight, the in reased courage of the Boers, and the tendency of England to give liberal terms in the settle­ment of the trouble, are the develop­ments of the past weeks.

In Russ ia there has been great anxiety over the serious illness of the Czar. He was eized by a fever, which was rendered more seriou by ompli ations from a wouna in the

head, and it appeared that hi s life was in great danger. Queen Victoria sent a physician from England to con ult with the Ru 'sian doctors, and still, with all the care, it appeared for a time as if his life would suc­cumb to the disease. At this writing he is improving, and it is the hope that this peace-loving man may be spared for many year.

In our own country the great Pres­idential election has come and gone, and, as is usually the case, immedi ­ately after the election, the country settled down to the regular routine of business One of the peculiarities of the American people is that they can work themselves up to a fever­heat in connection with an election, a heat that would certainly cause rev-olution in many European countries,

The great coal strike, which was one of the largest in the history of our country' was satisfac~ori1y settled without bloodshed, and without an undue amount of suffering. Of course there must be some suffering by indi­viduals in all strikes, but what we mean is that there was no great strug­gle between the factions which re­sulted in loss of life, nor was the strike unduly prolonged. The ope­rators gave the miners their demands, fully and entirely, and the men, after a great demonstration to celebrate their victory, returned to work. The market resumed its normal condition, and the strike is a thing of the past.

In our own towns one of the events of the autumn was the Fair Week in Winston. This consisted of a street fair around the Court House square, borse racing and other attractions at

interesting and creditable parades . Large numbers of people came from other towns and from the adjacent country, anci the occasion was a reg­ular carnival week.
