60 back one hundred years ago to
day, and imagine if you can, a little
band of faithful Christians gathered
about few masons who in the heat of
the day were laying the corner stone
for the first church building this town
had ever known. Note carefully the
scene. All about the foundations of
the proposed building are great trees,
In fact there is little else in that section
but forests, and the building as it soon
become familiarly known as 'the
church in woods"
In comparison gaze about this morn
ing. The Church is situated In
beautiful cemetary. All about are the
green mounds of the last resting place
of thousands Of our honored dead,
numbering now, many times more
than the entire population of the town
when the corner stone was laid. On
the north is the West Jersey Academy
surrounded by its spacious, beautiful
acres. In every other direction are
handsome homes facing wide well
kept thoroughfares.
