Random Sentence

I'm currently reading through a book entitled "The Lithuanians" by Juozas Kudirka. It is in English and I'm supposed to read it to figure out how Lithuanians write in English (my internship consists of editing articles). I am currently reading about holiday traditions and ran across this paragraph on page 38:

At the Christmas Eve table people behave gracefully and respectfully. Grandparents and parents are the first to speak. They remember the dead and absent members who cannot take part at the supper. The conversation centers round the birth of Jesus, the coming holidays, the most important events of the past year and the harvest. People look hopefully to the future and their visit to church on Christmas day. Beekeepers discuss the industry of bees.

I think that the last sentence is out of place, even in the Lithuanian language.
