RELleIoNIN THE TRANsvAAL
Religious Spirit of the Beers NOur-
fshed r,v ola Testament S4udv

Religious Spirit of the Beers N0ur-
ished by ola Testament study.
The following translation from The
Lutherische Kirchenzeitung by The
Literary Digest describes the religion
of the Beers in the Transvaal:
The state church of the Transvaal is
the Dutch Reformed, and to it belong
the greater portion of the population,
fully $4,000. The latest statistics ac-
cessible give IS, 100 adherents to other
branches Of the Dutch church, 6,591
to the Episcopal (the figure is now con-
siderably higher, 8,S66 TO the Wesley
an Methodists, 5000 to the Catholics
and 1900 to other Christian denomina-
tons. These statistics are of the white
population only.
Not only the president, but also the
members of both legislative branches,
must belong to the Protestant church.
The meetings of the velksraad, or par
lament, must, according to law, be
opened and closed with prayer. With
the exception of few special kinds Of
labor it is strictly forbidden to do any
work on Sunday.
In general the Beers are characteriz-
ed by a pronounced traditional piety
Of the Reformed type. 1t is chiefly
nourished by the study Of the Old
Testament, especially of the historical
books, and loves to employ and initiate
Old Testament examples and pictures.
In genuine Boer family the Bible lies
upon the center table, and every day is
opened and closed with family prayer.
A collection of sermons is taken along
when on journey, and public services
are attended regularly, even IL at great
sacrifice and trouble. AS the farms
are large and the people widely scat
tered public services can often be held
at irregular intervals only, as one pas
tor often has charge Of hundreds of
square miles Of territory. Great inter-
est is accordingly attached to the regu-
lar quarterly meetings, when not a
member Of the family, except the sick,
fails to appear. On such occasions
vast multitude Of wagons surround the
church, and the celebration of the
Lords supper is frequently followed by
services that last for several days. The
Boer regards himself as specially hon.
ored if the dominic, for whom he has
great respect, visits his house. Then
the neighbors are called in, and public
services are held.
The orthodox Beers are divided into
two communions, the Afgeschedene, or
Doppers, who in their services make
use Of no hymns but the Psalms and
who in general are of stricter deport-
use of other hymns. President Kruger
belongs to the Doppers, and there can
be no doubt Of his earnest Christian
convictions
