Females (not Moravians) Misbehaved


Candle, Coffee and Bun
prepared for the Christmas Lovefeast

"A number of (non-Moravian) females, at present lodging at the hotels in town (Salem), having on yesterday intruded themselves into the lovefeast for the children of the congregation and greatly misbehaved on that occasion. Council almost unanimously resolved that in the future all lovefeasts be strictly considered as private meetings to which none but members of the congregation are to be admitted, and that the minister, whenever he announces them, State publicly that they are only intended for members of the congregation." -- September 29, 1856
