North Carolina tlt net. T have missed from your ltfeen experience which bears with It a solemnity and i re pressiveness not to be found ' where; and If yea have attended this beautiful Easter service the story of the. resurrection, ha ever ,'nc v brought, to you a fuller, richer, .' deeper meaning. '-- ' On i Saturday morning, April It a large 4 party of Charlotte people boarded the o'clook train., bound ' for ' W Instoa-Salem. Glorious son- ' light, he skies and the heeotles of waking spring mad e , the view with ouU-as we sped along, a most at- tractive one. -Here and there among dark i pines. or amid other woodland trees Which were Just beginning to put forth tender leaves, one might ff- see the deep pink of the-red-bud and Judas tree, great clusters of the pure white dogwood, an endless array of 1 fruit trees, exquisitely beautiful in their tints varying from white to Sdeepest pink; and once in a while broad fields of young grain, rich green In coloring, brightened the land- ' scape with a vivid touch of color. Surety all nature was proclaiming the resurrection season to be at hand! Reaching Winston-Salem, the train was met by a great number of people waiting to welcome frienas ana rela tives. There was an atmosphere of cordiality the occasion which was bringing together such a throng bore with it a strong undercurrent of seriousness that did not fall to meet response la every heart Y Hurrying te the Hotel Zlnsendorf. we were glad to receive accommoda tions, even if six had to be crowded Into one room, for In some other rooms there were as many as eight or nine -persons, while scores were turned away. The town Ves full to overflowing, and hotel space was at a premium. What is it. I asked my aelf repeatedly, that drawe together yearly from all paw or in union and even from other countries, such great numbers to witness these Easter exeroisesT And not only do they Mma one veas. but many but many of the same vieonle return year after year. We were told that traveling men had for nays been coming into Winston Salem to spend Easter, as had been . their custom for ysars past, one man 5 toting that he had not missed the : aster services for a period of eight, 'years, Luncheon over, we wended our way down Main street until we reached a street corner, at which Is the huge coffee pot, which marks the dividing line between the busy, progressive Town of Winston and the quaint Moravian Salem. Down the quiet street lined with comfortable dwellings of an architecture of the long ago, we passed until the grounds of the famous old Salem Academy were reached, and turning a block to the left found ourselves at the ; entrance to the Moravian church. Handing la cards of admission, we entered to flad ourselves part of a ereat throngwhferh completely filled the church, f esUbnJe and chapel, all having gathered ?jtake part in the "love feast" which - forms such an Interesting twrt of the Easter service. Fortunate were we In being ushered near the front, and. soon every avail able place wss filled, quietly and with perfect orderliness. Many chil dren were In the congregation In front of us were a father and two tiny children, evidently Moravians, so familiar were they with the service, and had brought napkins with them for use during the love feast. Just behind us a small lad proclaimed In a loud whisper that he "Would try to keep awake," and In a few seconds was snoring lustily. Promptly on the appointed hour the ministers, a half doren or more, entered from the door on the left of the pulpit and took their places. THe venerable Bishop Rondthaler, who occupies such a warm piece In the hearts of the Moravians as well ss being greatly beloved by all of other denomina tions who have come in touch with Ms magnetic personality, had charge of the service: and surely no one Within the sound of that rich, deep tened voice could hut feel that to tilm was given a personal Invitation "to loin In this love feast In our Father's house." After the saluta tton and prayer came the beautiful song service by choir and congrega tion alternately. Impressively solemn were both words and music , The Moravian Church may well be called the changeless Church old customs, old tunes, old doctrines, on these It builds to-day as in centuries ago and are we far from right in saying that it is this very stability and re lentless adherence to old truths and customs that wins fo It to-day the reverence and love of all? .As 5 the old familiar hymns were lined out by Bishop Rondthaler, and the congregation as one voice joined In, the- singing, we felt as- never be- gore tie oneness or me .nnnn fChurch. All barriers of denomina tlon were forgotten there was but one heart In Salem that day and It fwa lifted to the Father's throne with t ' songs of adoration. Presently the singing ceased and v i from doors on either - side of the . culcit came ushers to sen's the jwaittoff congregation women, clad in jwhlte and wearing caps, bore wicker I rays mieawitn large nuns or rou, rand men followed, carrying trey on jwhich weTe mug of coffee. Jn an In--: credibly short time every one was served, with marvelous quiet and solemnity attending. And breaking Wead together "In their Father's house" made vthe Immense congrega , tton realise in the fullest sense the i meaning of the hymn Just sung, "Blest Be the Tie That Binds." After the serving of refreshments came a brief hut beautiful-address by Bishop Rondthaler. ' His face fairly shone with the radiance of Christian love, and "the impressive words that fell from his lips made his hearers feel deeply the solemnity of the occasion. .With, hearty congregational singing j the love feast came to an end. - We lingered for some time-about the interesting old academy and then took -our way through the famous edar avenue to the Moravian Ceme , tery. -Here In -this beautiful "city of - the dead" there to a sameness sbout the graves, which typifies the equality -with which mankind shall be Judged. Rich and poor.1 young and old. lie. burled here, and all grave are alike. with small. Sat tombstones.' only the , inscriptions differing. , It was the sun 5 t hour, and core of people were ' busily decorating the graves. Among . the number were many little children ' and aged 'person who also Joined in t observing ; this beautiful custom. " Watchiog the scene in thl lovely ' epot consecrated" to those who had passed beyond, the word immedi , ately rose to mind. To live In hearts .' we leave behind is not to die." , Sunday morning at an early hoar we were suddenly aroused Vy a great !' burst of music which swept through the corridor of the hotel like swelling -one from a- great .organ with, 4 -i . i ' K . , ; ; ' Ji , - .-W'? t':- i ALEXANDER orchestral totoiwHMi, . It was the famous Salem. Band which, ac companied by torch bearers, had since t o'clock been - marching through the atreets. dispensing tweet 'and solemn music ivis said of the Moravian that wherever they go they carry with .them "cuatotn, system and music;" and certainly the Easter dawn never breaks with mora beauty and solemnity than in Salem, where the old Gorman music, in accordance with ancient custom, rouses the sleeper in tha. early morning. ' The' hour was now 4 o'clock, and the service , at the, church was to commence at . In' the lobby or the hotel coffee and bread were served and we quickly Joined the great crowds which were going Salernr ward. How atrange It seemed at this dawning hour for such a throng to be hastening through the streets. o sound broke the stillness save the noise of many footsteps on the brick pavements, or the startling sound of an electric car whirling along, loaded to Its very steps with passengers. Overhead huag the moon beautifully brilliant, as if guardian of a sacred and familiar scene. The air had a touch of frost! n ess which proclaimed the lingering winter and made more swift the steps which led toward Salem. In the chapel were gathered the ministers, children of the Sunday school and invited guests. Taking our places with the crowd - outside, we waited until the appointed time, when Bishop Rondthaler stepped for ward upon the little porch of the chspel and began to read, the Easter Morning Litany of the Moravian Church, beginning with The Lord risen," and including the creed of the Church and tha Lord's Prayer. In the dim light of early day, with perfect silence save fdr the deep tones or the bishop's voice, the words fell with peculiar emphasis on the ears of the listening throng. Presently the line of march was formed to the cemetery- first the bishop and ministers, next the choir, Sunday school children and college girls; at Intervals apart were the three ao i"'JMmniiiliii nt mimirtana and torch- .nd i.tiv the vast crowd. The music was wonderfully solemn and sweet, rendered all the more effective by the distance apart, the bands responding one to another. As to the number In that procession It would be difficult to give correct figures. It was estimated at from eight to fifteen thousand; but at any rate, one coiUd scarcely help wonder ing If there were any people of either town who had not risen to greet the Easter morning In old Salem. March ing four abreast, to the solemn strains of music, the great crowd passed quietly along the beautiful cedar avenue, and turning to the right entered the Moravian cemetery. From the further slope -of the avenue we turned and took a glance at the long line slowly advancing. As far as the eye could reach was seen what seemed to be an endless pro cession, slowly advancing underneath the stately cedars. The light which was dawning In the skies betokened the coming day, and the sweet strains of mutlo on the perfect stillness of the early morning seemed almost heavenly. In the cemetery the bishop tk his accustomed place beneath two cedars by the plot In which He burled the oldest Moravian settlers of the com munity. The tombstones, black with age, are scarcely to be deciphered, but many date back two centuries or more to the old homes In Oecinany. Around this large square and ex tending Into walkways around other squares Of the cemetery the immense crowd qdickly and quietly was stationed. The bishop again pro ceeded with the Easter Morning Litany, Interspersed with hymns. In which all Joined, accompanied by the music of the band. As this impres sive service came to an end with the benediction the sun, which for some minutes had been rising like a great ball of fire from behind the hill just across the way, shot forth Us rays with peculiar brilliancy across the scene at once so beautiful and singularly Impressive. The cemetery with Its background of dark green cedars and ivy-covered wall, the rich green sward and everywhere flowers lilies, roses, violets, hyacinths of every hue and tint, the most exquisite tributes that love could bring, covered the graves. Truly nowhere else could there be such an Easter as this, and no people have quite Interpreted the resumption story as have the Moravians! At II o'clock the Moravian church was again ' crowded, and Bishop Rondthaler "preached with great force and earnestness a sermon on the resurrection. Magnificent music by the choir with its sweet-toned organ and other Instruments sccompanytng, reached the height of Inspiration at tVia AAiltn rtt thA eervlr uhpn hurat- i ,ng torth mt0 the "hallelujah j chorus." During the singing of this anthem of rejoicing the entire congregation rose and stood through OUT. At night the story of the resur rection was given, first in responsive reading, and then in song by a chorus, bringing to a fitting close the Mo ravian Easter service. It would not do to write of Salem without some reference the Salem Academy, which for a century and more ha stood among the South' foremost schools. Dignified, un pretentious, well-grounded In Chris tian doctrine. It stands as it has ever stood, a bulwark of strength for the development' of young womanhood. From Its doors have gone forth to every section of the South, and to other States, young women who by their lives have testified to the high worth of its training. With, a cur riculum well known for its high standard, every department gives to the pupil advantages the very best. Development of the highest order, mental, spiritual and physical, is the aim of this Institution. With the Moravian love for music, a specialty la made of this art. and the splendid Memorial. Building containing the conservatory of music, and Concert Hall with its fine organ, emphasises the excellent advantage In this de partment. Everywhere one sees handsome gifts to their alma mater from various classes, showing the deep love of those who have here received preparation for life. In the rear of the academy buildings are the beautiful pleasure grounds. Nature has done much for this lovely spot, and the hand of man has not been needed to add to its attractiveness. A deep ravine with hillside thickly wooded, lends rural effect to the scene: giant trees rise from the valley's depths, and everywhere the flower of spring time add dainty beauty to the rustic view. . . The Wachovia Historical Museum Is well worth a longer visit than our j limited time could permit. A threes story 'brick building te filled with many relics of colonial and revo- lutlonary daysi and certainly Salem with this intensely Interesting col- luHn. , an nt; te Ablush her Sister cities. ! if eh wishes to study ancient North Carolina it would be well for hi t view the ' content of this building. .;. V'i- i t ' ? ' In a ill of old newspaper (called. I believe, The Farmer' 'Reporter and Mf tiers' Journal) ws were par ticularly interested to note a lengthy account of the Twentieth of May celebration of 1IJ. The account ran through several copies; and lack of time did not give opportunity for perusal other than to note that it was a huge affair; that the speaking took place on the grounds of thd First Presbyterian churchyard, than which there Is bo other more appropriate place than this for a patriotic ad dress on such occasions; and that the form of entertainment was varied, speechmaklng forming an Important part a lengthy 'list of toasts were given, the speakers being among the State's prominent men. ..."'- - ' ... We have spoken of ths high" regard with which the Moravian are held, for they are a people of truth and honor, of custom, system and music. A custom from earliest times has been that of keeping minutely a Church record, and also of noting in this record a brief account of the various hsppenlngs of importance in the countrv around. We were greatly Interested In seeing the old "Bethanla records," which were shown us by Dr. J. H. ClewelU the cultured and gracious president of Saiem Female Academy. The record Is, la German, on paper yellowed by age. "ine ac-, fcount given for the year 177 5 tells of the Declaration of independence as made by the people of Mecklen burg, adding that "this proceeqing Congress looked upon as too pre mature." Surely the signers need no more oowerful champions for their cause than the people of the old Moravian church at Salem! Tariff and tbe Women. Statesvllle Landmark. It Is a matter of history that the first election held after the enact ment of the McKlnley high tariff law, passed during the first half of the Harrison administration, resulted in an overwhelming defeat for the Re publicans. That was the congresr sional election In 180 and so com plete was the Republican rout that it was followed by the election of Mr. Cleveland two years later. It Is a matter of history also that to the Influence of tbe women of the coun try was ascribed the Republican de feat in 1190, because the McKlnley tariff law had .Increased the price of articles of women's wear and arti cles of domestic use, so that the effect of the law was felt at once by the women. The theory was that every woman who felt aggrieved at the rise In price of the articles she purchased, being told that It was due to the new tariff law, at once became an active and energetic campaigner against the Republlcana The Payne tariff bill also bears heaVtty on the articles of woman's wear, an Increased tax being levied on gloves; hosiery, millinery, etc. In cities of the North and West petitions have been circulated by women protesting against this In crease and last week a monster peti tion was presented to Congress by club women who are active In the matter. Taking note of these things, some of the papers have suggested that the history of 110 may be re peated In 110. .There Is no doubt that If ths women of the country be come fully aroused and active for or against any measure, their influence and power is not to be lightly consid ered: they can accomplish great things. But conditions have changed since" 1890. Then the Democrats pre sented a. solid front In opposition to a protective tariff. Now a very strong minority in the Democratio party is In favor of protecting whatever con cerns their constituents; and If the women desired to defeat the protec tionists they couldn't be entirely sure they would find relief In the Demo cratic party as now constituted.
