The Tinderbox By BEVERLY LEWIS

Reviewed by DORIS SIGG Amish Heartland Writer

ylvia is an eighteen year old daughter of Earnest and Rhoda Miller, who are approaching their twentieth year anniversary. Earnest had not been born into the Amish, rather he had been drawn to the Amish way of life after losing his parents in quick succession. But he has an unspoken past, and it becomes uncovered when Sylvia opens an unlocked tinder box sitting on the mantel of his clock repair shop. As the secret unravels, Earnest is mortified and both Rhoda and Sylvia feel betrayed and confused. Rhoda feels totally alienated, and Sylvia’s engagement to a preacher’s son comes into question. The thought of keeping secret the secret tries their souls. This is a story of a family coming to grips with their deepest feelings about God and life’s destiny. A surprise visitor during their ordeal validates the path they ultimately choose. About the author: Beverly Lewis, born in the heart of Pennsylvania Dutch country, is the New York Times bestselling author of more than one hundred books. Her stories have been published in twelve languages worldwide. A keen interest in her mother’s Plain heritage has inspired Beverly to write many Amishrelated novels, beginning with The Shunning, which

has sold more than one million copies and been made into an Original Hallmark Channel Movie. She has been interviewed by both national and international media, including Time magazine, the Associated Press, and the BBC. Beverly lives with her husband, David, in Colorado.

–Amish and Mennonites– In The Civil War

Story by Executive Director

Ma r c u s Y o d e r Amish & Mennonite Heritage Center

THE CIVIL WAR (1861-1865) was a confusing time for the citizens in America. Especially so for those people who lived in areas where battles and skirmishes were waged. Family members, neighbors, and friends were often on opposite sides of the war. Many historians argue that this event is the most defining moment in the 1800s for America. More than 620,000 men were killed in four years’ time. In addition, there were about 500,000 men who were wounded, maimed, or crippled. The scars of such a trauma extended well into the 20th century. The Civil War also impacted the Amish and Mennonites in ways no other experience had ever affected them in their experience in America.

The Amish and Mennonite generally lived in the northern states. Only about ten percent (mostly Mennonite) lived south of the Mason-Dixon Line that separated the north from the south; most of these in the Shenandoah valley of Virginia. The Amish and Mennonites were generally opposed to slavery. There is no clear record of any Anabaptist ever owning slaves and they were among the first to speak out against the practice. In the same manner that had happened in Europe, these people were caught between forces that were much bigger than themselves. Once again, their nonresistant theology forced them to consider their position. The U.S. government at first tried to raise troops by calling up state militias and by offering a bounty to attract volunteers. Most people thought the conflict would end quickly. By 1862, the second year of the war, realization crept in that both sides would need troops. In 1862, Abraham Lincoln signed an order that put more pressure on the states to raise men. While technically not a national compulsory draft, it did compel states to raise more men. Later in 1863, a truly national draft was established for the first time. The Mennonites and Amish reacted to the draft in various ways. In Ohio, a local official wrote to the Ohio governor about the Holmes Amish Community, that some of the Amish were “so wholly non-resistant” that “they would suffer themselves to be killed rather than take up arms to kill their fellow human beings.” In Pennsylvania some of the non-resistant church leaders met with the governor and offered to pay fines if their members could be freed from the draft.

Of particular note was a letter that the Mennonite bishop, John M Brenneman, wrote to President Abraham Lincoln. In the letter Brenneman stated that while the Mennonites strongly favored the Union and that they “abhor the present rebellion,” they were not able to use the “weapons of war” that the state used in quelling the rebellion. In the end he asked that the President would “favor us…and not allow us to be forced or compelled to take up arms.” Brenneman went on to say that the Mennonites would not “murmur and complain” if the government placed extra taxes upon them for their stance. Whether Lincoln ever read Brenneman’s letter is not known. However, the pattern for the 1862 draft made some provision for a tax, or fee if one was not willing to be drafted. A $200.00 fee was placed on those who were not willing to be drafted. This money was then used to hire a “substitute” for the person who was not willing to fight. This became problematic for some people as the ware dragged on. A number of Amish and Mennonite men did end up joining the army and some were wounded or killed in the action. Most, if not all, of that ten percent of Mennonites that were Southern, lived in the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia. This was fertile farmlands that fed much of Virginia and the surrounding areas. Like all armies the Confederate Army needed food to keep their soldiers healthy and in shape to fight. While the outcome of the war was still in question, by 1863 the South was in desperate need for as supplies diminished and they needed an increasing number of men to continue the war. Like the North, the South had instituted its own version of the draft that required all able-bodied men to serve in some capacity in the war effort. The nonresistant Mennonites and Dunkard Brethren were initially permitted to buy substitutions the same as the Amish and Mennonites had in the north. But by 1863, the Confederacy abolished the substitution system because of extreme manpower shortages. By late that year they expanded the draft to include all able-bodied men from 17 to 50 years of age. Many of the draft-age men fled north into Pennsylvania and other northern states. Reuben Heatwole, A Mennonite man, wrote late in 1864 that “Sunday congregations were composed of only a few old men, little boys, and the women.” He and his brother-in-law Henry Brunk led a group of 15 seventeen-year-old boys to the north, first to Clarksburg West Virginia and then to Hagerstown, Maryland later that same year. As the Union forces pushed back the Confederate army they made it a point to destroying the economic base

that supplied the South. The Northern army burned bridges, farms, and mills. They also seized farm materials, foodstuffs, and anything that would benefit the South. Many of the Mennonites and Dunkards homes and farms were destroyed. The Union Generals gathered up cattle, horses and seized whatever they could to support their own armies. In one situation they seized 3,000 cattle and sheep and sent them north to feed their own. In some cases, Mennonite families had less than an hours’ time to gather what they could from their homes before they were burned. Many lost nearly all they had in a short time. The Union army also promised protection to those refugees who were willing to move to the north and affirm their allegiance to the Union. Over 400 wagon loads of refugees fled the area in a wagon train sixteen miles long. Many of these people had been stripped of all their possessions save what they could carry and would have to start over completely. The Civil War raised issues that were very difficult for these Anabaptist. How engaged should they be in the political process? Was it right to hire someone to fight in your stead? Was the fee “blood money;” or was this a good way to live out their principles? How would they live out their lives as the government assumed more control of their world? These are questions that their forefathers had faced in numerous and varied ways. Suddenly questions that they thought they would not face, they were facing. In the same manner today, we must be prepared to face the challenge to our beliefs. What would we do in the same situation? If you wish to know more about the Amish and Mennonite and their place in American history, or the world, please call or visit the Amish & Mennonite Heritage Center. We offer guided tours of "Behalt" - a 10 ft. x 265 ft. cyclorama oil-on-canvas painting that illustrates the heritage of the Amish and Mennonite people from their Anabaptist beginnings in Zurich, Switzerland, to the present day. Behalt means “to keep” or “remember.” We are open Mon-Sat 9:00-5:00 and are located near Berlin, you can find us at 5798 County Road 77, Millersburg, OH 44654. Please call (330) 893-3192 for more information or to schedule a day or evening group tour. Marcus Yoder was born to an Amish family in the heart of Amish Country. His family later moved to the Mennonite Church where Marcus takes an active role in preaching, teaching and writing. He is the Executive Director of the Amish & Mennonite Heritage Center. In his thirties he decided to return to school and has a BA in History from The Ohio State University and a MA from Yale. He enjoys reading and writing and spending time with his wife, Norita.

–Amish Birthing Pr actices and Tr aditions–

Story by DORIS SI G G Amish Heartland Writer

ABOVE: It is not uncommon for Amish women to have children well into their forties.

The C ontext Because children are seen as the ultimate blessing, the Amish don’t practice any form of artificial birth control. Sometimes the rhythm method is used, however. Amish women often continue having children into their forties, meaning they spend decades being pregnant and taking care of little ones. Twins are common in older mothers. Amish families often have eight children, but can reach into the teens of children.

Hospital or Home Birth? In An Amish Paradox, Hurst and McConnell cite a survey of an Ohio community which showed that 59% of Old Order and New Order Amish births took place in hospital (as compared to 84% of non-Amish births), while less than a fifth of Swartzentruber Amish births did. Amish have built birthing centers in

There are no “due dates” in the Amish community; instead, babies are let to come naturally, with no inductions unless the baby or mother is in danger. There is also a very low rate of cesareans. Amish communities as well, such as the Mount Eaton Care Center in the Holmes/Wayne county settlement in Ohio, which is staffed by doctors and trained midwives. In a home birth, only the husband and midwife (and possibly a midwife attendant) are typically present (Midwives may also offer pre-natal care for an expectant mother, and a baby may be born in the midwife’s home). Even when there is a preference for a home birth, the Amish do transport themselves to birthing centers or hospitals in cases of high-risk pregnancies. In some communities even midwives are considered outsiders, though, and are not permitted; instead “catchers” are utilized. Catchers carry no medical instruments or medicines and per the Amish education practices have nothing more than and eighth grade education. Supplies for the Birth Special delivery dresses are made for the birth, covering most of their bodies, but an opening for the mother’s belly, so that the baby may be placed upon her stomach right after birth. Setting up by the midwife and her attendant includes laying out the sterile instruments, DeLee catheter, Pitocin with syringe in case there is a hemorrhage, placing the other emergency medication nearby and setting up the oxygen near the bed. Birth box supplies include blue pads, bulb syringe, sterile gloves and 4X4s, and supplies for after the birth. Other supplies are the blood pressure cuff, stethoscope, fetal Doppler, jell and sterile gloves. Amish women often delay breastfeeding for several hours and sometimes into the next day. Expectations There are no “due dates” in the Amish community; instead, babies are let to come naturally, with no inductions unless the baby or mother is in danger. There is also a very low rate of cesareans. Amish women stay active in daily chores until the day of the birth. When they deliver, however, they will have the active support of extended family and may

hire a young girl to help with household duties. She usually lives with the family the first four to six weeks doing household chores, wash and taking care of the children. In the tradition of modesty, Amish women keep their pregnancies secret. And so since pregnancy is not talked about generally, kids are especially not exposed to birthing. Quiet and stoic, the trait of Amish women withholding emotions and keeping sentiments inside can extend to childbirth. Paying for Pre-natal and Birth Care Health care is community based through programs such as Church Aid or Hospital Aid. This is typically how medical bills are paid. The Amish take pride in taking care of themselves and are exempt from having to have insurance. They also do not help themselves to Medicaid.

–FROM THE DESK OF JAVON– Who Are these People? (Part 3) Submitted by Javon Miller | Amish Heartland Contributor

“But when the fullness of time was come, God sent forth his Son, made of a woman, made under the law, to redeem them that are under the law, that we might receive the adoption of sons.” G a l at i a n s 4 : 4 , 5

PART 3 of this study leads us to the very crux of our faith, the birth and life of Jesus Christ. In the account of man’s fall in the garden, we read that Adam and Eve tried to cover themselves with leaves. Those were not found sufficient. God brought them animal skins to cover their nakedness. In order to obtain skins, a life had to be taken and blood shed. In the great exodus from Egypt, blood was again used as a token of deliverance. The Hebrew slaves were promised deliverance from their bondage. They were told of a great affliction that would fall upon the whole land, the firstborn of all people and animals would die on a certain night. The only escape was to be ‘covered by the blood.” They were to take a spotless lamb of one year of age and kill it. They were to follow a certain 24

procedure to prepare it and eat it. They were to then “take of the blood, and strike it on the two side posts and on the upper door post of the houses.… And the blood shall be to you a token upon the houses where you are: and when I see the blood, I will pass over you…” Exodus 12: 7,13 Throughout the Old Testament times, there was a continual shedding of sacrificial blood to make atonement for sins. This blood could not remove sins but was token of atonement that had to be done repeatedly. It was an emblem to show the people that of their own efforts they were unworthy. It was a foreshadowing of what was to come through Jesus, God’s own son. This leads us into:

We believe and confess further that “when the fullness of the time was come,” after which all the pious patriarchs so ardently longed, and which they so anxiously awaited the previously promised Messiah, Redeemer, and Savior, proceeded from God, being sent by Him, and according to the prediction of the prophets and the testimony of the evangelists, came into the world, yea into the flesh, so that the Word itself thus became flesh and man, and that he was conceived by the Virgin Mary (who was espoused to a man named Joseph, of the house of David), and that she bare Him as her son at Bethlehem, “wrapped him in saddling clothes, and laid him in a manger.” John 4: 25 “The woman saith unto him, I know that Messiah cometh, which is called Christ: when he is come, he will tell us all things.” John 16: 28 “I came forth from the Father, and am came into the world: again, I leave the world, and go to the Father.” 1 Tim. 3:16 “And without controversy, great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory.” Matt. 1:21 “And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shall call his name Jesus: for he shall save his people from their sins.” John 1:14 “And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, and the glory as of the only begotten of the Father) full of grace and truth.” Luke 2:7 “And she brought forth her firstborn son, and wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger; because there was no room for them in the inn.” Further we believe and confess, that this is the same One, “whose goings forth have been from of old, from everlasting,” who has “neither beginning of days nor end of life.” Of whom it was testified, that He is “Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last.” That this is also life, and none other, who was chosen, promised, and sent; who came into the world, and who is God’s only, first, and proper Son; who was before John the Baptist, before Abraham, before the world; yea, who was David’s Lord, and who was God of the “whole earth,” “the firstborn of every creature;” who was sent into the world, and Himself delivered up the body prepared for Him, as “an offering and a sacrifice

It was an emblem to show the people that of their own efforts they were unworthy. It was a foreshadowing of what was to come through Jesus, God’s own son. to God for a sweet smelling savor,” yea, for the comfort, redemption, and salvation of all of the human race. Micah 5:2 “But thou, Bethlehem Ephrata, though be little among the thousands of Judah, yet out of thee shall come forth unto me that is to be ruler in Israel: whose goings forth have been of old, from everlasting.” Hebrews 7:3 “Without father, without mother, without descent, having neither beginning of day, nor end of life; but made like unto the sin of God; abideth a priest continually.” Rev. 1:8 “I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty.

Throughout the Bible we can see that life is a continual battle between good and evil. We are merely mortal beings that are prone to sin.

delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things?” Col. 1:15 “Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature.” Hebrews 10:5 “Wherefore when he cometh into the world, he saith, sacrifice and offering thou wouldest not, but a body has thou prepared me.” But how, or in what manner, this worthy body was prepared, or how the Word became flesh, and He Himself man, we content ourselves with the declaration which the worthy evangelists have given and left in their description thereof, according to which we confess with all the saints, that He is the Son of the living God, in whom exist all our hope, comfort, redemption, salvation, and which we are to seek in no one else. Luke 1:31-35 “And, behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son, and shalt call his name JESUS. He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Highest: and the Lord God shall give unto him the throne of his father David: and he shall reign over the house of Jacob forever; and of his kingdom there shall be no end. Then said Mary unto the angel, How shall this be, seeing I know not a man? And the angel answered and said unto her, “The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee: therefore also that holy thing which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God.” John 20: 31 “But these are written, that ye might believe that Jesus is the Christ the Son of God; and that believing ye might have life through His name.” 26

July

Further, we believe and confess by authority of Scripture, that when He had ended His course, and finished the work for which He was sent into the world, He was, by the Providence of God, delivered into the hands of the unrighteous: suffered under the judge, Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, was buried, rose again from the dead on the third day, and ascended into heaven, where he now sits at the right hand of the Majesty of God on high; from whence He will come again to judge the living and the dead. Luke 23:1, 52, 53 “And the whole multitude of them arose, and led him unto Pilate…. This man went unto Pilate, and begged the body Jesus. And he took it down and wrapped it in linen, and laid it in a sepulcher that was hewn in stone, wherein no man before was laid.” Luke 24: 5,6,51 “And as they were afraid, and bowed down their faces to the earth, they said unto them, Why seek ye the living among the dead? He is not here, but is risen: remember how he spake unto you when he was yet in Galilee. And it came to pass, while he blessed them, he parted from them, and was carried up into heaven.” Thus we believe the Son of God died, “tasted death for every man,” shed His precious blood, and thereby bruised the head of the serpent, destroyed the work of the devil, “blotted out the handwriting,” and purchased redemption for the whole human race; and thus He became the source of eternal salvation to all who from the time of Adam to the end of the world, shall have believed in Him, and obeyed Him. Genesis 3:15 “And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between the seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel.” 1 John 3:9 “He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of god was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil.” Col 2:14 “Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to this cross.” Romans 5:18 “Therefore as by the offence of one, judgment came upon all men to condemnation; even so

by the righteousness of one the free gift came upon all men unto justification of life.”

***End of Article***

Throughout the Bible we can see that life is a continual battle between good and evil. We are merely mortal beings that are prone to sin. If it were not for Jesus’ life, death, and resurrection, we would be doomed as John wrote in Revelation 20:12-15. “And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened…and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their words…. And whoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.” However Jesus is interceding for us as 1 John 2: 1,2 promises, “My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not. And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous. And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world.” In John 3: 16-18 we read, “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not his son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. He that believeth on him is not condemned; but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.” In John 10: 9-18, Jesus spoke o his purpose on Earth, “I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved…. The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly. I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep…. I am the good shepherd, and I know my sheep, and am known of mine. As the Father knoweth me, even so know I the Father: and I lay down my life for the sheep…. Therefore doth my Father love me, because I lay down my life, that I might take it again. No man taketh it from me, but I lay it down of myself. I have

. . . and thus He became the source of eternal salvation to all who from the time of Adam to the end of the world, shall have believed in Him, and obeyed Him.

power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. This commandment have I received of my Father.” We will close this portion of study with a personal question from Jesus himself. It is from Jesus’ conversation with Martha when her brother Lazarus lay dead in the tomb. John 11: 25-26, “Jesus said unto her; I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live: And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. Believest thou this?”
