Mother Ann Lee, born in England, the acknow-

Shakers are manufacturers of almighty good
brcoms and peddlers of miserable poor grape
vines at a dollar a foot" He said that the
common impression was that they were "peo-
pie who wore brosd-brimmed hats and
sugar ScoOped boInets, and who don't
marry" Then he gave their own: S.The Sua-
keTs are people whose lifeline is in
agreement with certain Christian PRINCIPLES
introduced or revived by goocly sort of wo
man, Ann Lee, after their almost total extinc
ton from the practice OF the race. These NAV
be elassed under the general heads OF common
property, non-resistance, celibacy in life ard
distinction in government. They believe God
ard Christ to be dual aftiniies. They believe
that Jesus became Christ, or snointsd, hy a life
prepared through an exceeding sef-deni al, anc
they bel1eve the same causes will produce The
same effects upon al, making all Christs hy
continually living the same life Jesus live >
