as one family with q "common father" ana
one obJect-peace. They originally came
from Wurtemberg. At the beginning OF
the present century one Paul Baemlaf
found it consistent with his religious ideas
to take exceptions to some of the doctrines
and practices of the Lutheran church in his
native province. OF liberal views, and with
a due regard for the rights of his fellow
man, he set himself to the task Of correct
ing the abuses. At first the town folk re.
fused to give ear to his preaching, but at
the end of eight years he had acquired
large following. So great did his power be-
come that the authorities took alarm and be-
gan series of prosecutions that ultimately
led to his being exiled. Baemler's career.

Some two hundred had determined upon
following him across the Atlantic, but,
when the time for departure had arrived
their hearts failed them and the number
iwindled down to seventeen. The members
of this sturdy little band were prepared te
endure all forms Of privation in order tt
enjoy religious liberty. Their sufferings
were far greater than they had anticipated,
SO severe, indeed, that five perished on theil
journey inland. They wandered through
Northern Maryland and Virginia, crossed
the Ohio river and faced north. On
bright autumnal afternoon, in 1915, they en-
tered the valley now entirely owned by
them. Baemler was quick in noting the ad
vantages offered by settlement here ant

For thirty six years the Zoarites pros
pered. In 1851 the cholera almost exter
minated them. The few that survived the
epidemic set about to rebuild the power Of
Zoar and succeeded. Baemler died shortly

The Zoar of today is a town of four hun
dred inhabitants. 1t is governed by Q
board of trustees, three in number, one
being elected annually. A man named Zim

Baemler, is looked upon as being the ''com

sand acres of land to till, huge stables that
contain three hundred horses and as many
head of cattle, farming implements of the
most improved kind, and well clothed and

small, of substantial build and scrupulous-
ly clean. The hotel is an old-fashioned
structure with tower and broad veranda.
1t is furnished plainly; the victuals are
solid, yet tempting. Every cent received
by the landlord is turned over to the trus-
tees, while he in return receives his sup.
plies at the general store.
So it is with every family. They perform
their proportion of the general labor and
are furnished all the necessaries and not a
few of the luxuries of life. When young
couple marry they are furnished with a
house, together with the assurance of a

besides thousand and one different things
