MENNONITE

LIFEJUNE 1994 In This Issue This issue of Mennonite Life includes treatments of Anabaptist Mennonite expe­ rience in literature and social history. The authors of the two lead articles, Anthony R. Epp and Calvin Redekop, are long time contributors to the pages of this journal. Epp reports on the works of the nineteenth century French authors Emile Erckmann and Alexandre Chatrian, who included Anabaptist figures in four novels, one play, and one short story. In Epp’s judgement, Erckmann and Chatrian must have had personal contacts with Alsatian Mennonites. The Erckmann-Chatrian Mennonite characters reflect the authors’ ideal of tolerance for dissenters. Anthony R. Epp is a member of the foreign languages faculty, Nebraska Wesleyan University, Lincoln, Nebraska. He has been on a sabbatical assignment at Miami University in Oxford, Ohio, during the 1993-1994 school year. Calvin and Benjamin Redekop tell a remarkable tale from experiences in a Men­ nonite settlement in South Russia as preserved in the Redekop family oral tradition. Such stories of bankruptcy, betrayal, and punishment can be a warning against any tendencies to romanticize the idyllic life of Mennonite villagers in the so-called “Golden Age” of Russian Mennonitism. Calvin Redekop is a retired professor of sociology, living in Harrisonburg, Virginia. He is the author of Mennonite Society (Johns Hopkins University Press, 1989). This issue includes the Radical Reformation and Mennonite Bibliography, an an­ nual feature in our June issue. Barbara Thiesen is the Technical Services Librarian and Co-Director of Libraries at Bethel College.

JUNE 1994 Confidences d’un joueur de clarinette

In Confidences d ’un joueur de clarinette (1865), in which a clarinet player recounts how he lost out in love to a muscle-bound rival, the Anabaptists enter only as part of the agricultural scene. In assessing a promising oat har­ vest, one character says: Look way up there on the slope, those yel­ low patches between the spruce trees that look like gold, those are the oat fields of Pelsy the Anabaptist; he has six acres all in one field, (p. 402) The fields in question are high in the mountains near the village of Erckerswir.

“Le blanc et le noir”

“Le Blanc et le noir,” a short story dealing with the supernatural, revolves around the question of whether God determines everything or if invisible spirits play a role in human affairs. Zapheri Mutz had fallen in love with Gredel Dick, the only daughter of the Anabaptist Petrus Dick, who farmed near Schlossgarten, but the Mutz fam­ ily opposed “the union on the pretext that a pagan could not be allowed to enter the family” (p. 204). Gredel com­ mits suicide and Zapheri disappears but is later apprehended and accused of murder in relation to another death. With Zapheri under arrest, the local organist prepares a banquet to prove to the Mutz family and other villagers the power of invisible spirits, both good (le blanc) and evil (le noir). Most of the guests, how­ ever, fail to attend the banquet, because knowing about an upcoming baptist in Emile Erckmann the Mutz family and fearing retribution of some kind, “all of the guests think­ tues, with “the old Anabaptist” Christel The daughter Siizel receives praise and ing about Gredel Dick, had found pre­ being known for his excellent work, for admiration for her management of the texts not to come” (p. 221).

In talking about the Anabaptist, the forester chuckles: “He knows how to live well. He likes good wine. And he’s right.” (p. 510) The Anabaptist never appears on stage and receives no further mention as the play progresses.

Histoire d ’un sous-maitre

Whereas the first four works depict the Anabaptists in strictly sociological terms, and superficially at that, they take on a vital role, one revolving around a cherished French freedom and a tenet of Anabaptist theology, in Histoire cl’un sous-maitre [The Story o f an Assistant Teacher]. This work is one of several in which Erckmann-Chatrian condemn the collusion between the church and the civilian powers (especially the aristoc­ racy) to use religion as a means of mak­ ing the people believe in future rewards and punishments. In these works they describe a public education limited to “impressing upon the hearts of young people, in a permanent way, the senti­ ment of their duties toward God and king” (p. 258). Also in the novel Water­ loo, Erckmann-Chatrian describe the return of the royalists, bringing with them missionaries eager to convert the Alsatians and declaring: “Those who don’t want to change, like the Jews and Lutherans, we’ll force them.” (p. 108) The present novel begins in 1816 when King Louis XVIII, immediately following the fall of Napoleon, has in­ structed his ministry of education to encourage primary education through­ out the kingdom. As part of that effort, Alexandre Chatrian

This respect for education has been reinforced by fam­ ily members who have emigrated to America. “You see,” old grandfather Jacob told me laughing, “my two eldest sons, who left for America eighteen years ago, keep writing to their brothers and their brothers-in-law to send the little ones over there; that land of top quality sells for almost nothing, that they have thousands of acres near the Wabach [sic] River, in the state o f Illinois . . . . But they urge us to give them [the young ones] an edu­ cation, for in America a man is worth only what he knows.” (p. 319-320) Jean-Baptiste and the Anabaptist Jacob drink kirschenwasser after agreeing to a curriculum of surveying (both land and forest), arithmetic, and bookkeep­ ing, with a promise that there be no ef­ fort to convert the children. As in all of his educational undertak­ ings the young teacher succeeds spec­ tacularly, so much so that other Anabaptists reportedly consider board­ ing their children for the winter near Les Roches so that they too can receive such good instruction. The teacher’s own as­ sessment of success receives confirma­ tion when the priest from Chene-Fendu makes his annual inspection. Especially the little Anabaptists astonished him by their natural good sense, their com­ posure and the clarity of their answers; even Map o f the Palatinate, from Madame Therese (New York: American Book Com­ I was surprised.

In order to check on the progress of of the 1900s, a mill fever broke out in As the mill was being constructed in the mill, grandfather would take the the newly established (1884) Naumenko Bliznetsy, grandfather Benjamin (II) train and come to Bliznetsy.

The money for the flour that was delivered did not come to the post office. Father as usual knew how much had been shipped and how much money should be coming as pay­ ment. Heinrichs assured father that “the money will be here on Monday.” Saturday, father went to the post of­ fice and asked the postmaster whether the money had come. “No, it is not here.” (The postmaster and his wife were good friends of my father and mother. They often came to our house to drink tea and visit. They were all of the same age and enjoyed each others’ company.) My father said, “Today is Sat­ urday, and 1 have to pay my men their wages.” Then the postmaster and friend said, “Today is Saturday, and if the money will come for sure on Monday, I will advance the money over the week­ end.” My father took the money and paid the workers three weeks back pay.
