CELEBRATION OF EASTER BY nORAYI1NS
BY President CIewell Of Salem Female COLLEGE.

The towns OF Winston Salem have
grown in size to such an extent that
strangers come and go in numbers at all
times At this season Of the year. how
ever, it is apparent to everyone that the
number is larger than usual, the object
which brings the visitors being the spe-
cial interest connected with the celebra
lion Of Easter in the large Moravian
congregation The Moravian congregation
Of Salem, was established in 1876, and
has at the present time about 1900 per-
sons in spiritual connection with it.
though its influence IS directly exerted
over a still larger number Bishop Ed
ward Rondthaler, d. D., is the pastor
In order to understand the peculiar
influence of the Easter celebration 1t is
necessary to glance at the historical and
doctrinal view of the Easter festival
among the Moravians.
The Moravian Church is a Protestant
Evangelical denomination which had its
origin in Moravia and Bohemia at the
time of the great reformer John Huss.
Hence 1t is the Oldest of the Protestant
denominations In the next centuries in
the wars and prosecutions the church was
driven into exile. In Saxony a home for
reorganization was found, on the estates
of the great and pious Count Zinzendorf.
Here. in 1927, the church continued its
history, and to the zeal and devotion OF
the earlier days was added the deep
piety of the German Count.
1t will be remembered that the Ger
-, voc
for example, Is nowhere more enjoyed
than in Germany, and hence it became
the object Of this renewed church to make
the Easter services just as impressive as
possible to old and young This effort
was SO successful that the results have
come down to Us through nearly 200 years
practically unchanged.
We must remember that a custom
which ca nlive through two centuries
must have a deeper foundation than mere
form. The ceremonies only of Easter
could not live so long, nor would the
forms alone attract the company of Wis
itors. Within the Easter celebration is
a peculiar piety, an unusually strong eff
fort to place in a strong light the great
truth of Christianity, and it is this fact
which has the power of impressing the
members and in like manner attracting
strangers The doctrine of the Morayian
Church has always been peculiarly a
christian doctrine" They believe that
the great revolution which the Christian
civilization has effected is due entirely
to the atoning death of Jesus Christ by
which the debt of the sins of the world
was paid. They believe in also specially
emphasizing the resurrection of Jesus
Christ by means of which the power of
death has been destroyed. When the
mind is brought face to face with these
two great events it is contemplating the
two very greatest events in the history
of the world, and in the contemplation
of these two events young and old are
daeply Impressed, and strangers are
attracted and come again and again This
is not because of the music only, nor

Bishop Rondthaler OF the

of the Provincial Elders Conference OF
the Southern Province Of the Moravian
Church ana in 1884 he was called to the
Presidency of the Saien Academy and

which they named Waehovia. This tract
has later received the name Of Forsyth

MORAVIAN GRAVEYARD.
The German word for this beautiful

approach to the graveyard. This avenue

trees Green sward OH either side of a

regular rows, not unlike the method OF

that every grave and every walk is kept

we've received this year. The church was

VIEW OF GODS A

The events of those early days would
furnish the material for many a romance.
There were hardships and privations,
dangers and thrilling escapes which will
some day make fine page in the his
tory of North Carolina.
THE FIRST SURVEY.
When the 100000 acres of land were
purchased by the Moravian church from
Lord Granville, they sent several repre-
sentatives to search for the proper To-
cation. Starting from Edenton with the
agent of the English noblemen they jour
neyed westward, beginning their surveys
of the various tracts in the general
neighborhood Of Morganton, working
northward till within fifteen miles of the
Virginia line. Thence east and south to
the present site of Wilkesboro, and finally
they moved eastward to the present For
syth county, where 100, 900 acres of land
we're surveyed and bought. This survey
ing tour was in mid-winter. They wan
dered in the mountains, were lost in the
trackless forests, suffered from hunger.
passed through the horrors of terri
Bile blizzard and at times felt that there
was no hope of ever again reaching civ
ilization.
THE FIRST SETTLERS.
The next year a company of twelve
men journeyed from Pennsylvania
through Virginia, and November II, 1853,
arrived on their land, and took possess
sion of an unoccupied hut. BY thrift and
energy this little company soon prepared
land for cultivation, built houses, and
were reinforced by additions to their
numbers from Germany and from Penn
sylvania The growth of the settlement
was STEADY, but ere long they found
themselves in the midst of the
INDIAN WAR.
Murder and outrage were common occur
rences. The wounded were often brought
to the villages, and a strong fort was
erected around Bethabara. Hundreds of
refugees found shelter in this fort. Hos
tile bands often surrounded them but
SO alert were these hardy pioneers that
they were able to meet every emergency,
and not only to protect themselves but
to aid their neighhors when in danger.
The Indian war came to close. but
soon after this they entered upon a no
less trying experience in the times of the
REVOLUTION OF 1776
The Moravians endured more in these
days than has ever been imagined The
account of these years should be fully
written, and then the brave men of Wa
chovia will receive credit for all they
suffered. Thousands of troops passed
through their towns. All levied contri-

prayer brief service is held, after
which the great throng passes along
Church street through the avenue of
cedars to the
GRAVEYARD.
One must witness this scene to be able
to appreciate it. If the weather is fair
and mild, it is not uncommon to have
five thousand people present This great
concourse passes in perfect order into
the sacred spot and surrounds one square
after the other till the entire company
is within the sacred precincts. All this
time the musicians perform selections of
music and the beautiful decorations on
the graves of loved ones appear in the
increasing light of the early morning. !.
When all are within the graveyard the
minister very reverently begins to read
the confession of faith, and loud and
strong rise the voices of the multitude
as they unite in the grand old hymns
of the church. If the morning is clear
the service is so timed that just in the
midst of the confession of faith the sun
rises above the eastern horizon, and
battles everything in its golden light. ut
is indeed an occasion which no one for
gets, young or old. and the visitor to
Salem at Easter time carries with him
impressions which remain all through
life
THE EASTER SERMON
At II o'clock the old home church is
crowded to its utmost capacity. The
music is grand and inspiring, and the
sermon impressive. brighter and hap
pier occasion cannot well be imagined.
All day long throngs of people visit
the graveyard to enjoy the beautiful dis
play of flowers, and the day is a happy
one for all.
The evening service in the church con-
sists in the reading of the account of the
resurrection Of Jesus Christ. and with
this service the Easter celebration is
closed.
There are many features connected
with the celebration of Easter in Salem
which are enjoyable The season is one
of the most beautiful of the year. The
meeting of friend with friend is great
pleasure. The music of the sanctuary
is grand. The ceremonies are impress
sive The large numbers are inspiring.
i But high above all these are the great
spiritual truths of Christ's sufferings,
death and resurrection, which means
so much for the world. and which form
the real benefit and enjoyment of this
happy and blessed season of Easter.

as If exile must be their lot. But they
lived through all their troubles and after
this second war they entered upon sea-

DISTINGUISHED VISITORS.
The general thrift and prosperity Of the
Moravians cause them to be known far
and wide Many distinguished visitors
came to their towns. Among them we
mention the names of President Wash
ington, Gov ,Tyron Gov Martin lord
CORVALLIS. and to this list many others
might be added. Twice the Legislature
assembled in Salem. and we read tnat
it was always their pleasure to accord
the visitors a hearty welcome
THE CLOSE OF THE CENTURY.
During the years that followed the war
of the Revolution Wachoyia recovered
from the strain of the eight years Of
unrest and few years before the close
of the century a special impetus was
given to the work in this section. The
large Moravian church in Salem was
