>From The Frederick Examiner; Frederick, MD
Summary: The Examiner prints an article originally published in the Hagerstown Mail about the religious group called Tunkers who have allowed African Americans into their congregation and given them communion. The Mail pokes fun at that group of people who are numerous in Frederick County and who are "God serving" men and devoted to the Union. The Examiner defends the "Tunkers" [also called Dunkers] but reprints the article from the Mail and asks if the Tunkers think such men and their "rebel friends" should be trusted with control of the government. The article discusses the Tunker custom of men greeting other men with a kiss. How is this tradition kept when two different races are members of the same religious group. The article then explores the possibilities of applying the new Civil Rights Law to this custom.
