UNIQUE RELIGIOUS snLT
That Worship in Chincoteague Island.
Their Sanctification Doctrine.
From The Baltimore American

That Worship in Chincoteague Island.
Their Sanctification Doctrine.
From The Baltimore american.
CHINCoTEAGUE ISLAND, VA, April 10.
A novel religious sect exists on this island,
composed mainly OF persons who have come
here from Sussex county, Delaware. They
call their organization Christ's Holy Sancti-
fed Church of ChncOteague Island, No. l.
They have settled in the northern part OF
the island. where they live to themselves,
having as little as possible to do with the
native population. These people originally
belonged TO the Methodist Episcopal church,
from which they withdrew and organized a
society Of their own. They have built
church costing about $4,000, in which they
hold thei- meetings every Sunday and
. nearly every night In the week. They
claim to be sancti6ed, and, consequently,
incapable Of SHINING.
They say that all who are not sanctified
will be lost, and that those who claim to be
Christians, but are not sanctihed, are no
better than the most hardened sinners. They
have persistently refused to permit any OF
the four regularly ordained ministers on the
island TO celebrate tue rite OF matrimony
between any OF their followers or to bury
their dead. Some time ago they applied to
Judge Gillet Of the county court to grant
TO one of their own members license to cele-
brate marriages. The judge after consid-
cradle Collaboration, granted the Incense TO q
man named Workman, an ignorant and
fanattcal fellow, who shares with William
Lynch man OF similar character and ig-
norance, the unenviable reputation OF being
leader in this strange sect. In granting
the license, Judge Gillet confined Workman
to the northern part of the island and to the
people OF his own faith.
In their meetings they work themselves
up into a regular frenzy, jumping and
shouting till they fall exhausted on the
floor. On Sunday afternoons their bolster
Gus demonstrations frequently disturb the
exercises at the neighboring Methodist
church, from which these sanctified people
withdrew, and some Of their leaders have
been hauled up before the local justices Of
the peace for disturbing religious worship.
Many OF their customs SAVIOR of communism
or socialism, and Of late they have subjected
themselves to the charge of being free-love
society. or a sort OF Oneida community.
They have recently begun to see visions and
to dream dreams.
All the men Of this sect are engaged in
planting oysters on a small scale. Their
houses are all Of the same fashion, being
two stories high and having only two
rooms one below and one above Wnen-
ever one Of their number builds a house
they all assemble there and 'dedicaten ID In
their peculiar fashion by Jumping and
shouting. Once they are said Co have
shouted the floor out of house they were
dedicating, and TO have demolished the
porch OF another. They are truly Z peculiar
people.
