GLiMPsEs OF 4 HoRAvfAH HONE,
For the purpose OF becoming acquainted
with the interesting people whose ances-
tors carved out Bethlehem from amidst
the primeval forest, nearly century and
q half ago, creating n civilized settlement
In spot frequented by unenliehtened
Indians, the logical course to adopt is to
enlarge ones Moravian acquaintance be-
yond the single acquisition whose cour-
tosy suggeste the visit and whose kindly
o;lices.are relied upon to render it har-
vest OF information and entertainment.
accordingly beginning is made with a
call upon the widow OF an eminent Mora
Wan clergyman and instructor, a lady Of
exceptional attainments and living with a
daughter who teaches French in one Of
the institutions OF learning for which
Bethlehem is justly famed.
Rarely, or never, has your correspond
ent realized TO the same extent the charm
Of refined simplicity. OF surroundings, su-
perior attainments in learning and un-
affected piety. Thesesood people repre-.
sent an ancient church with a wonderful
history, retaining many time-honored pe-
culiarities while holding the same doetri.
nal views as other Christian bodies not of
the Catholic communion, and taking a
broad and liberal view OF modern institu-
tons and ayailing themselves Of all the
advantages OF recent civilization.
Surely no exception can be taken to this
statement because OF the extreme plain
ness ofattire the ladies present. for this is
unexceptionable in point Of good taste.
Well-stocked book shelves, oil paintings
and prints, and evidences OF high culture
in the pursuit oft}fe most pleasing and in.

the height Of intellectual labor and recrea-

Buta caution against the expectation
Of finding Bethlehem without the draw.
backs Of poverty, error and wrong, an
oasis in this wicked wilderness world, is
timely preparation foran enlarged scope
OF inquiry. Besides being tho head
quarters OF Moravianism in the United
States, this pretty place is a manuiact-
uring centre having the SAME variety
OF opinion, culture and character as other
towns of the like modern character.

But who are the Moravinns? They are
so called because, in the fifteenth and Six
teenth centuries, Moravia, province OF
the Austrian Empire, WIS q principal seat
Of their church. In the early part OF the
eighteenth century, moreover, refugees
from Moravia fled from that country into
Saxony. The official name Of this people
is Tho United Brethren, and their
archives show that they originated not
only in Moravia but also in Bohemia. As
far back as the ninth century these two
countries were converted TO Christianity.
a Protestant movement traceable fromthe
beginning, or nearly SO, resulted in the
Bohemian Reformation and the execution
OF John IIuss. This event took place in

Observation, however, results in the i'm.
preston that Nloravian peculiarly gives
its greatest individuality and charm to this
unique borough, which was exclusively
a Moravian settlement until the year 1S43,
and was incorporated only as recently rs
1915. Conservative people opposed and
deeply regretted change which has GER
tainly promoted material advancement,
and created the novelty and variety Of the
modern manufacturing town. Since the
radical change indicated Moravian set
tlement Of not more than one thousand
inhabitants has expanded into a centre OF
industry containing population Of about
fifteen thousand, Of whom, however, one
