or physician summoned. A reliable remedy
for these diseases should be kept at hand. The

house at Woodstown, N. j., has only
one surviving worshiper, Miss Priscilla
Lippincott, an old woman, who twice

OF that sect, goes alone to the building
and frequently sits an hour on first

has occupied for fifty years. Some
times she sits in silence; at others,
when the spirit moves, she speaks,
with the long since emptied benches an
her only earthly audience. The ortho-
dox Quakers, once SO numerous, built
the meeting house, but all save Miss
Lippincott have died. Joined other
meetings or united with the Hicksites.
II Miss Lippincott should fail to hold
services in the little meeting house it
would revert to the heirs of the origi-
nal owner OF the land, but so long as
services continue to be held there IL
cannot be disturbed. and therefore she
never fails to be at the door with the
big brass key at the hour for service
on first" or "fifth" day.
