Stay-A-Beds urged as health risk by German doctor
A German physician argues that early rising is a bad habit, citing records of elderly individuals showing most long-lived people rose late and stayed in bed late. He finds no clear benefit to early rising and suggests it may exhaust the body. Also noted is the death of Jacob Minnich of Nesville from heart disease and his burial plans in New Haven with morning services.

The Old Organ at Moravian Church Reminiscences
A long historical sketch recalls the Moravian Church organ at Lititz built by German emigrant Tanneberger around 1785 and used since 1787. It traces organists, the instrument’s role in service, and hopes for a new instrument to continue rich worship. Easter observances include somber processions, a sunrise service, brass accompaniment, and a sermon by Rev. Nagle.
