thanks for their release from the relig.

Is the purpose of their Gedaechtnlsz
tag, for on September "a. 1884. the
first Schwenkfelders, who had landed
at Philadelphia two days before. held
a thanksgiving service in recognition
of their safe arrival.
Ever since their founder Casper
Schwenkfelder Won ossIg. a Silesian
nobleman Of the 10th century, had
disagreed with Luther over the ma.
ture OF the sacrements and therefore
decided TO discontinue both baptism
and communion until their purpose
should be better understood. his fol.

Imprisonment and death under Catho-
lie and Protestant rulers. Finally
they emigrated in body to America
In 1894.
After their thanksgiving service on
September "a, 1884. a meal consist.

cider were served. Annually since that
time the schwenkfelders meet on
September "a TO celebrate their Ged.

ing and afternoon services a repast is
served similar to that OF 1884. except
that the apple butter is more plentl.

A Rich German Colony Set

POrkiOmen In Penn
Sylvsnia

Philadelphia, Sept. 24.-Apple but
ter day was celebrated today by the
Schwenkfelders of Pennsylvania in
their meeting house at Hosensask
and elsewhere. Among the devout
members of the sect the occasion Is
known as "Gedaechtnlsz tag" or
memorial day. It's popular name re-
fers to the most conspicuous feature
of the MONDAY repast that is a regular
part of the services. The Pennsyl,
vania Schwenkfelders are known far
and wide as the makers of the best APP
pie butter in the world, and this year
by reason OF the large crop of apples
In Southeastern Pennsylvania, the
memorial celebration was conspicu-
Gus success
Because Of the prominence the
Schwenkfelders have attained through
their thrift and industry, their quaint
yearly festival arouses the interest Of
Thousands Of persons outside their
fold. In many of the rural communi-
ties the occasion is a holiday, and
from the larger towns and cities come
relatives and friends to spend the
autumn day among the picturesque
hills and valleys in the vicinity of the
Porkiomen.
Although primarily religious fes-
tival, the Gedaechtnisz tag celebra-
ton also partakes largely OF the ma.
ture OF great family reunion. for. as

tied in Pennsylvania early in the 18th
century While they number fewer
than 1900 persons in all, they include
the most prosperous families to be
found in the rich agricultural section
in which they reside.
Their farms. the largest and best
in this section OF the state. have been
bequeathed from generation TO gener-
alton, and each succeeding owner
has sought 20 enhance his heritage by
keeping in touch with the most mod.
ern methods of farming. While sed.
ulously guarding against changing the
ancient customs OF their faithh,. the
Schwenkfelders never oppose real
progress, as some OF the other Penn.
sylvania German sects. One OF the
most successful cooperative agricul.
tural organizations In the United |
States is the Worcester farmers union |
in Montgomery county. which was or.
ganized and Is largely controlled by |
Schwenkfelders. The union has near.
