SPLIT IN AMIsH CHURCH.
New Generation Against the Prac-
tices of Their Parents

Special to the indianapolis Journal.
DECATUR. Ind. April 29.-Located in the
southern portion of this county is large
settlement OF Amish people They own
large farms. are thrifty. honest and ex-
elusive. but have very peculiar religious be-
liefs and customs They believe principally
in the Old Testament and think everything
in It should be obeyed. They have reason
and a biblical phrase for every act they
do. Perhaps the most peculiar part OF their
religion and customs is their personal APP
pearance. All ages of each sex dress exact
~ alike. Their clothes are all made in the
old-fashioned style with no trimmings. The
men and boys dress like Quakers, broad
brimmed hats and jean pants. but they
never shave. In fact. they are distinguished
by antique simplicity. combined with an
tique prejudice, and by indifference TO the
interests of the greater world. Another Pc
culiar idea OF this people is that the DEVILS
spirit is concentrated in anything that re-
wolves They therefore, will not have any
OF the improved farm machinery OF to-day.
They use the old-fashioned cradles. scythes
and rakes and will haul their grain fifty
miles to thresher run by horsepower.
About two years ago the leaders in the
church were arrested here for violating
the marriage laws Of the State. Full cous-
ms had been permitted 10 wed and no mar
rage license procured. This was not done
through ignorance. but was strictly accord
ing 10 their religious beliefs. The court,
however, granted them leniency. and they
complied with the matrimonial laws ever
since. They have no church building. but
go from house TO house to hold their meet
ings.
Two weeks ago a split occurred in the
Church which caused considerable excite
ment and no small amount OF worry among
the older members. The younger class of
Amish, IL seems, believe in being progress
sive and partaking Of things worldly, as
their seniors put il. They are purchasing
the latest improved farm machinery, the
women are using sewing machines. and
dressing in the latest styles; the men shave
and have their hair cut short and are using
all the modern improvements and convent
enceS used In successful farming. All of
which are contrary TO the laws and beliefs
OF the old Amish faith. The older brethren
are much alarmed over the matter, and
are seemingly at a loss to know just what
TO do. They very much dislike 10 turn so
many Of their and daughters from
the church and their firesides, yet they cam
not retain them in the church and under
their old belief. But the new faction will
not give up their progressive ideas and con-
victions, which they argue are in harmony
with modern Christian civilization They
will build a large church edifce this sum-
mer, a committee having already been Sc
lected to choose a site one of their
farms There are 500 Amish people in the
settlement.
