THE DUNKERS' LOvE.FEAST.
The Impressive Ceremonies of Feet
Washing, the Great supper and
the kiss of Peace.

The most important and the most
beautiful custom of the Dunkers il
their love-feast, which they celebrate in
commemoration Of the Lords Supper
after the manner of the primitive Chris.
tians. The celebration is held at night
fall, and begins with the rite of feet
washing, in imitation of the act per
formed by the Master at the Last Sup
per, when He washed the feet of His
disciples. Small tubs of lukewarm wa.
ter are brought in, and those about tc
receive the ordinance remove theiI
shoes and stockings. The brothers
then in turn, each one girding himself
with a towel, wash and dry one an.
others feet; the sisters at the same
time doing likewise among themselves
in their part of the room.
After this follows the supper, the
feast of love, which is spread on long
tables, and consists of lamb soup and
bread, and other simple viands. 1t Is
eaten in devout solemnity and rever-
ence. At the close of the meal the
brothers turn to one another and ex'
tend the right hand of fellowship and
the kiss of peace, each one shaking
hands with his neighbor and kissing
him; while the sisters at their tables
perform the same beautiful rite among
themselves. The communion is ther
administered. - Clifford Howard, in

The In ana Out of Hawaii.

InHawaii they have one very unique
custom in regard to debt, says Mr. O.
w. Stursis, of Oregon. Any stranger
can get credit almost from the time he
sets foot on the islands, but SO long as
he owes dollar he is not permitted
to leave the country. A man who gets
hopelessly involved in debt down there
had as well make up his mind to be-
come citizen for the rest of his life
he can only escape by liquidating.
This law has always been strictly en-
forced, but in the event of annexation
to the United States the islands may
get new system of laws that will re-
PEAL the existing misunderstanding
