The world calls us New Mennonites." "And this is the uni the garb of the New Mennonites?" "Yes, sir."
"Dutch, or Russian, or something." "Yes, Russian," answered the stranger quickly. "That is Russian, surely," he continued, pointing eagerly to the trim and cosy group of buildings. "These Mennonites, are they prosperous ah citizens ah settlers?" "You bet! They make money where other folks would starve. They know what they're doing.
Absalom's father was secretary of the Board, and Mr. Getz was the treasurer. "Pop he's goin' over to see your pop about it till to-morrow evenin' a'ready if he can make it suit." "When does Ezra go?"

Purity of life, sincerity, simplicity, earnestness, loyalty to God and love to man these are very old themes, yet they can never die. Zeal can always fan them into flame.

* The Mennonites were originally Dutchmen. Persecuted for their religious views in the sixteenth century, a large number of them accepted an invitation to settle in West Prussia, where they helped to drain the great marshes between Danzig, Elbing, and Marienburg.
