HOLD FIRMLY TO BELIEFS
Mennonites Stress Biblical Stories
Which Other Christians Regard
With Some Lightness.

/ The advent OF the Mennonites to
America came about when william
Penn had been granted land for his
Quaker followers. He was told Of
Mennonites who had fled from Ger
many to Holland aud his Quakers
came to their aid. The Quakers are
credited with helping them financially
in colonizing parts Of Ohio. Indiana,
Kansas, Nebraska and South Dakota.
Later, colonies were established in
Saskatchewan and other parts Of
Canada.
A peculiar custom of these people
is the washing of feet. They say that
the command of Christ to the woman
to wash His feet stands on the same
spiritual level as His acts of dIstrib-
uting food and drink to the hungry
and thirsty. To the MennOnites the
story related by st. Luke is as impor-
tant as the ones other Christians re-
gard, including the sacrament and
communion.
Community property is another
Mennonite belief, although 1t Is not
general. The members Of the sect CO.
operate in building roads, school
houses and churches.

 The clothing is always stripped from the bodies for it is too precious to be lost"
