Keuka is a pleasantly situated village,
twenty miles west of Palatka, and is noted
for its fine young groves and beautiful
lakes. There is the largest colony of Dunk
ards in the state. They have good
church edifice, with Sunday school and
preaching every Sunday. Their church lot
is planted in orange trees, each member
having tree TO care for. In this manner
they propose to raise money to carry on
the Lords work. They talk of purchasing
land on which to put out a grove for the
benefit of the church. In many respects
they are peculiar people, and in their
manner aud religious rites remind many of
the apostles and primitive Christians. Sun
day their meeting at the church was
we'll attended, every member of the
church being present AT the close
of the services all present walked to the
bank of Lake Keuka, near by, where the
rite of baptism was administered TO a young
convert. The manner of baptizing is both
impressive and peculiar. They claim it to
have been the apostolic method. The bishop
led the convert into the water to the proper
depth, had her kneel and after taking her
confession, gently dipped her forward three
Jimes-once in the name Of the Father. the
second time in the name of the Son and the
third time in the name of the Holy Ghost.
The Dunkards are a thrifty people, and gen.
orally build up wealthy communities where
they settle. Tney are aiming to make Keuka
one of their strong points in the south.
They now numbec about 100000 in the
United States, and claim to be increasing
very fast.
