am glai to say that the advertising of the
Graceham Band to play for the saloon festi.
val, named as Polleys festival, was without
authority by the said band, and not correct,
and by them not considered as joke.
On Tuesday morning small number of
men, as per announcement. gathered upon
our cemetery and moved of the grass and
weeds. This has been the second moving
for this year, making decided improvement
in the appearance of this city Of our dead
the numbering Of which would reach nearly
700 graves.
Rev. Oerter will leave for Bethlehem, Pa,
to be absent for several weeks.
As betting the occasion, Rev. Oerter and
wife planned how they might appropriately
celebrate the centennial OF the MOravian
Parsonage, the first stones of which were
laid on August 18th, 1897, one hundred years
ago.
Accordingly invitations were sent out by
card to all living III and near our town and
to all members out of town, of both charges.
social gathering at the parsonage, and a
short exercise in the church commemmora-
tive of the event.
1t was easily seen how many were gathered
when seated, numbering over one hundred
and fifty members and friends, who listened
very attentively 10 the exercises, which
opened with appropriate musical selections
by onr choir, prayer and the reading Of
scripture. Before reading the history of the
pa rsonage as translated from the German
diary, Bro Oerter stated that not to his
knowledge had such large party gathered
in Graceha,p, and this IN honor of a building,
but that it was worthy of its celebration, that
we also could be truly glad that those who
builded, did build SO substantially, and yet
it was also solemn thought that none that
had taken part, or who had first lived with
in its walls were now living in this earthly
life, but all had been removed unto those
mansions not of human construction.
1t can be easily noted in reading these ex-
tracts that it was then as it is now, that all
were not of one mind, and unanimous agree
ments slow to reach. The interior of the
building has undergone changes until now
it is wholly used as parsonage. The orig.
inal school rooms, being renovated to dwell
ing about 1874. After the reading of the
extracts which I append, all were again in.
vited by Rev. Oerter to adjourn to the rooms
of the parsonage to enjoy themselves socially
and in games which was done to the salts
faction Of all. Mrs, Oerter, assisted by the
members of the Ladies Aid Society had ar
ranged to serve all with refreshments, which
was thus served in the lecture room of the
church where a large table tastefully decor.
ated set ready for its guests.
