You could be fired - the Hostler

The tavern is the dark building on the left 

In 1791, the year President Washington stayed two nights in the Salem tavern, the hostler (horse boy) at the tavern was an unnamed stranger (i.e. non-Moravian). In that year he was dismissed from service at the tavern because "he is not taking care well enough of the strangers, that he is too slow and negligent in his service."

The early Moravians walked a fine line. They valued hospitality and sought to extend it to "Strangers". On the other hand their life was organized to not be influenced or transformed by the thoughts, actions, and words of the Strangers. Above all the Moravians jealously guarded their spiritual life.
