the now famous Community was es.
tablishcd with membership which
presently grew to over two hundred.
They started in with 40 acres of until
ed land, but in little over twenty
years the Community, by industry
and thrift, had acquired ga acres OF
land, abundant water power, and
manufacturing interests representing
some 100000. Hardware was among
their manufactures and silk was one
of their chief products. Farming
was, however, the general occupation.
The system of complex marriage and
the "unitary home" worked its natur-
al and most melancholy results, which
came up during Mr. Noyes's control
Of the Community. In 1870 it was
found necessary to abandon the insti-
tuition of complex marriage, and the
other practices of the Communistic
settlement fell into disuse. The be-
liefs of Noyes in a dual God, male
and female, in whose image men and
women are made, and of sinless life,
made so by unselfsh intercourse up
to the point Of perfection, are still
shared by many survivors of the little
hand OF early settlers at Oneida, but
the Community is without a leader
and without honor in its own country.

Death Of John Humphrey Noyes, Foun-
der of the Perfectionists.

John Humphrey Moves was born
in Brattleboro, VT, on Sept. 3, 1911
He died at his home at Niagara Falls,
Ontario, OH Tuesday. Mr.. Noyes
achieved distinction by founding a
religion based upon an utter destruc
ton of selfshness and most genial
system of communism. He wa.
the father of the Perfectionists who
peopled the Oneida Community
Noyes studied theology at Andover
and New Haven, and was licensed t.
preach in 1888. But he was carried
away by fanatical study of the Ri.
bic and by the frenzied preachiDgs OF
revivalists under whose ministrations
he CHANGED to sit. He conceived al.
together new ideas of the scheme OF
salvation, and devoted himself for the
next twelve years to spreading his
doctrines by preaching salvation from
SIM" He began his original ministra
tions at Putney, VT, the home of his
parents, and his license as an ortho-
dox preacher was annulled. He pro-
mulgated his extreme "Perlectionist"
views by means of the Oneida Circu.
lar, and also published a number OF
