Hudson, Arthur Palmer
Abstract:
In the Bicentenary of Winston-Salem, North Carolina, perhaps the noblest heritage to be remembered is that of the Moravian Church. The Church is symbolized by two services well known to the American public--Easter Sunrise Service and the Lovefeast. But there was another service, called by its German name, the Singstunde--a service dedicated to hymns.

McCullen, J.T., Jr.
Abstract:
The individual tale which recounts the origin of tobacco is linked with one of two groups of origin narratives: either myths handed down by tribal sages who preserved lore among American Indians, or myths and legends found in the lore and literature of European and Asiatic peoples who became acquainted with tobacco subsequent to discoveries of the 16th-century. This article surveys origin narratives which sprang up among people introduced to tobacco after the discovery of America.

Street, Julia M.
Abstract:
The Appalachian, mountain, or plucked dulcimer is not the same instrument as one called by that name in the Bible. Nor is it the trapezoidal harp-like forerunner of the piano described in Webster's Dictionary. The mountain dulcimer seems an entirely homogeneous and unique handmade creation, distinct from any other stringed musical instrument.
