simply the long regular rows of graves, each
with plain, fiat tombstone lying on the center
Of the mound.
Perhaps the most beautiful and interesting
OF the Moravian religious ceremonies are
those attendant upon the celebration of Easter
These have attracted SO much attention by
their novelty that each year many strangers
come to Bethlehem for the express purpose Of
witnessing them.
Long before dnybreak on Easter morning the
trombonists herald the advent of the glorious
anniversary by playing at the different street
corners Of the town, and as the inspiring strains
burst forth upon the holy pe1cefulness OF the
early morning. filling the air with grand rap
turous melody, all nature seems to awake and
listen to the tidings which this sublime SYM
phony proclaims. Ere the stars have faded
away in the western sky the good people make
their way to the church, where q short service
Of praise is held, and then, preceded by the
ministers and trombonists, the CONGREGATION
files out Of the church and wends its way in
slow. solemn procession up the winding hill to
the graveyard.
There, in the last resting place OF its departed
loved ones, the congregation assemblies in a
large circle and as the sun rises above the dis
tant hilltop in sublime symbolzation of the
resurrection a grand hallelujah bursts forth
from the people, and, with the resonant tones
OF the trombones and the warbling of the
birds, swells into divine harmonious chorus
OF praise and Thanksgiving.

paired to the adjoining room. The servants

where they and the children took their iftar
with less OF forks and more fingers than their

lighted my Turkish cigarette under the direct
protection of my friend the pasha's daughter.
