munty life of the Moravian brothers and
sisters, and many of the quaint customs IN,
herited from their ancestors, when are stlll
relgiously observed. The principal tenets
of their faith and the working basis OF the
community life is the Importance OF the IN,
dividual soul, the need OF close spiritual
sympathy, living and working for Others and
not for self. A marked characteristic IN
culcated in the children is reverence for the
aged and succor to the feeble and unfortu-
nate.
The high standard of the schools conduct
ed by Moravans, the thoroughness OF their
educational methods and their missionary
work in all lands are matters OF record.
Some of their old-tim customs were de-
scribed: The love feasts, at which sweet
buns and coffee are passed; the communion
service, with it's chorals and anthems and
passing by the sisters, of bowls filled with
clear white waters; the Christmas festlvl-
ties, with their miniature models OF the
stable at Bethlehem and surrounding scenes
set up in every house; the Easter observ,
ances, when a procession OF children ana
pastors led by trombone band, playing
softly, wends its way to the cemetery to
watch for the first peep OF the morning
sun, when the musicians strike up trl-
umphal chorus and the children sing JOY
ousy to usher in the Easter morn; the an
nouncement of death, when the trombone
choir leads the way to the belfrN OF the
church and makes it known to- the com
munity in clear, varied tones, and the burial.
at which, led by the trombone choir, the
congregation walks slowly to the grave,
which is always lined with masonry, and
plays softly while all the people assemble,
were some of the curious and interesting
sights narrated and which are still to be
seen in the quaint old towns among the
mountains of Eastern Pennsylvania.
AT the close of the paper a message was
read from Mrs Caroline M. Severance, re-
and serious illness, and while she is able
to ride out short distances she is not yet
able to see friends. If kept entirely quiet
there is reason to hope for ultimate and com
plete recovery.

Similar information to that received by

the purpose Of obtaining data showing the

orders merely contemplated the temporary
removal of the mines without interfering
with the cable connections and electrical
working apparatus on shore. the idea being
to leave them in such condition that they

10 longer any prospect of a renewal of
