Watched by 12,000 spectators, they held mass communion in a big tent, first washing their feet, then sitting at long tables to break bread and pass the wine goblet from hand to hand. By the tenets of their faith, sinful Dunkers refrained from partaking. Later all dined on ten head of cattle. Unitarians of the American Unitarian Association and allied societies met in the centre of their stronghold-Boston. From Rev. Maxwell Savage of Worcester, Mass. they heard...
