Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Easter at Winston-Salem, North Carolina
We were fortunate guests of President and Mrs. Howard Rondthaler at Salem College for breakfast at the unusual hour of four-fifty. This early meal is in truth only intended as a break-fast in the old accepted sense of the word, but affords the refreshment needed at the outset of the day. Fruit and coffee, and a certain favorite sugar ca'ke made at this special time, were served to the students and guests. We then assembled in the church, which adjoins the col lege, and heard the directions given to the different mar shals of the day, then wended our, way to the street to find a gathering multitude of people, The first rays of light were just coming over the eastern horizon and by its dim reflection we could follow the printed service. Bishop Edward Rondthaler, beloved by all people of all creeds, stood on the church steps and began this impressive serv ice in a clear, ringing voice. Each recurring season the people wait for this significant moment, as he says, The Lord is risen! The multitude make answer, The Lord is risen indeed! Then followed scripture passages and cho rales, after which we all started up the beautiful avenue already described which leads to the Moravian graveyard. A group of players headed the procession and played two lines of a hymn tune, another group at a distance answer ing with the following two lines until the hymn was com pleted.
