The Harrison times., 1911-05-06
A Mennonite Custom.

When a young man reaches the
manageable age and shows those
well-known symptoms the elders of
the church hold a meeting. They
decide II he is honest and reliable
to buy him farm, usually an eighty.
Into the farm he puts his savings, and
then members or the congregation
raise the rest of the funds to pay for
the land.
This amount the young man must
pay back with a small rate Of inter
est. Thus by example and material
assistance they bind him by the
strongest bonds, that of debtor to the
church. They know full we'll that
nothing can be lost, for the land Is
always worth what 1t will cost. After
the young people are located on their
farm the elders assist with advice
and help. Do you wonder that this
thrifty people are gradually buying
the best of all Kansas land and the
best part of the incest little city
within the borders of that great
state?-Seneca Tribune.
