The simple Marriage CeremOny-No

According to s. lie Poer Trench, in the
QuiDcr for July, the Morayians have set
Elements not only in Germany, but also
in England, Switzerland and America,
They hold nearly all the doctrines of
Luther. Their largest settlement, called
Herrnhut, is in Saxony, and the Mora
VANS in many parts of Germany bear the
name of Herrnhuter. In each community
there are'two houses set apart for
the unmarried men. called the Brothers.
house," and the other for all unmarried
sisters or widows who wish 20 enter them.
The Mornvians cannot marry without
the consent Of the elders Of their church,
and in some cases the bridegroom has
been chosen for the bride They seldom
marry outside the community, and their
engagements are nearly as solemn as the
marriage. Tho weddings are very simple,
the sister wearing but n black dress with
white lace handkerchief, and her pretty
cap with its pale pink ribbon, which is
changed afterwards for pale blue ribbon
when the ceremony is finished. There are
always two rings at wedding in Ger
many, as there a married man always
wears one, which he receives from his
bride in exchange for his.
The Moravians wear no Grape nor
mourning for their dead, and they speak
of them as blessed, and of dead as "going
home" They call the graveyard Goods
acre. and they take the greatest care of
their graves. But there also is the diyi-
sion, ns in the church, for the men are
buried on one side of the cemetery and
the women on the other.
The Morayians are all well educated,
and the poorer brethren amongst them
enjoy the same privileges in their excel
lent schools as do the richer brethren.
Life amongst the Omitted Brethren is
simple and unartificial, love to God and
man being their first principle; and many
who have lived amongst them bear in
their hearts loving memory of their
goodness, and of the pretty little village
of Neudietendorf.
