MORAVIAN WEALTH.
A STATEMENT FROM BISHOP
RONDTHALER
He Refutes the Suggestion That the
Church is Exceedingly Rich in
Money-Progress Due to Hard
Work and Contributions.


Money-Progress Due to Hard
Work and Contributions.
To The Editors of The Sentinel
! {. In your issue of the 18th you
copied notice from the Raleigh Tri-
bune, which Incidentally refers to the
great wealth of the Moravian church.
As the Moravian cause suffers great
injury from such notices, you will al
low me to make the following brief
statement:
L With regard to the real estate of
the Salem church, no reliable estimate
can be made. 1t owns several hun
dred acres of land In or near Winston
Salem, which lie In the shape Of
woodland, field or meadow. The most
available parts Of 1t, in the so-called
Winston reservation, have been offer
chasers. Even the land companies
with better located lots, are doing
very little To estimate Moravian
church wealth by unsaleable lands is,
therefore, very precarfous under
taking. 1t is counting chickens
which may never be Matched.
2. With regard to invested funds, it
may De SdlO budG, dlOnR WlGn GQe SUD-
scriptiOns OF the members of the
Salem congregation, the income
barely suff1ces TO meet the expenses of
it's religious, educational and chari-
table work. In fact, there is, in some
years a deficit.
3 The Moravian Bishop draws no
salary for his episcopal services,
which are often of an onerous charac-
ter. II he did, there would be no
income, at all, available to aid in
building Moravian chapels. He sup
ports himself solely by means of pas
toral and other labors. If friends Of
the church would kindly mention this
fact, it would probably go farther
than any other means to quiet erron-
eous rumors of Moravian church
wealth.
The Moravian church. we are happy
to say, is moving forward, but 1t is
doing it on precisely the same prin-
ciple on which other churches are
progressing, Many of the members are
working hard and are giving literally
out of their own pockets Such pro-
gress as has recently been made, has
been determined by the liberality of
members and friends
EDWARD RONDTHALER,
Bishop Of the Southern Province of
the Moravian Church.

"sEcoND COMING OF CHRISTI"
Evangelist Fife breaches "a Sermon
Oh This Subject.

a.
OH This Subject.
The Sanctiticatiuuists have closed
their meeting at Fayetteville. Evange-
list Fife preached in their tent
Wednesday night. The Observer says
he spoke from the platform, surround
ed by nearly hundred sanctitied per-
sons, who went in ecstacies over his
remarks.
The Evangelist opened his remarks
by saying that he had been criticized
by people for having anything to do
with the sanCtifcationists but that
they were as good and sincere as any
other religious body and even If they
were humbugS there were souls in that
tent To save and he was going TO aid
in their salvation.
"The Second Coming Of Christ" was
the subject OF the Evangelist's dis
course. During the course of his re-
marks he said that the people need
not look for good times, that they
were not coming. He said that Nc
Kinley legislation can not give us
prosperity, neither would we have
prosperity If Bryan was to be the
next President, good times were gone
and gone forever, banks and business
houses would continue to fail, wars
multiply, and general destruction, un-
til the millennium, which was not far
distant.
He said that it is stated that over
100 600 Jews are already in Jerusalem,
and that the Bible says that when
144, 600 are assembled there then the
end Will come, and that a famous
preacher has stated that the columns
for the great temple at Jerusalem are
already being constructed in Rome.
Another evidence" said Mr.. Fife,
that the millennium is near at hand
is to be found in the great religious
rev1vals all over the world, and the
frequent mention OF the approaching
event by the newspapers and great
men everywhere"

A WEDDING FOR A CENT.

One day last spring, a Minneapolis
minister was hard at work in his
church study when there came a knock
at the door. 1t was followed by the
admission of a rather rakish looking
individual, with shifty eyes, who asked
if the minister could marry him in
about twenty minutes, the bridal party
being then at a lower town hotel. The
clergyman assented and the groom
fshed out from his pocket a marriage
license, which he laid on the pastors
desk, together with a coin. Then he
went out to return with the bride.
During his absence, the minister ex-
amined the license and, picking up the
coin, discovered that it was a bright,
new copper cent. After the ceremony.
during which the bride chewed gum
audibly, the clergyman congratulated
the newly married couple and, turning
to the woman, said he was going to
give her as a wedding present the fee
which her husband had left. He there
upon handed over the cent. The groom
protested that he had intended to leave
a fve-dollar gold piece, and thought
he had done so. But a frantic search
through his pocket failed to disclose
anything but a poker chip and a lone
half dollar. To this day, that minister
wonders whether he was the victim of
a genuine mistake or Of an artistic
confidence game.
