THE N SURVIVING WORsHIPPER.
The following interesting article has
found a place III the columns Of many of
the newspapers of the country:
soThe little orthodox Friends meeting
house at Woodstown, has only one sur
viving worshiper, Miss Priscilla Lippin-
colt, an old woman, who twice a week,
carefully arrayed in the garb of that sect,
goes alone to the building and frequently
sits an hour on first day. in the cush-
toned pew which she has occupied for
fifty years. Sometimes she sits i n sill
ence; at others, when the spirit moves,
she speaks, with the long since emptied
benches as her only earthly audience.
The orthodox Quakers, once SO numerous,
built the meeting house, but all save Miss
Lippincott have died, joined other meet
ings or united with the Hicksites. II
Miss Lippincott should fail to hold ser
vices in the little meeting house it would
revert to the heirs of the original owner
Of the land, but so long as services con-
tinue to be held there it cannot be dis
turbed, and therefore she never fails to
be at the door with the big brass key at
the hour for service on FIRST OF fifth
day"
