TABLET UNVEILED
AT Old Moravian Church

A Pilgrimage was made to the old
brick Moravian Church, between Sharp
town and Swedesboro, by about five bun
dred men and women, prominent i'll many
vocations, last Saturday afternoon to take
part or witness the unwilling of a tablet to
commorate the building OF 1.-THE first Church
their in 1747, and the construction OF the
present structure in 1856.
The Gloucester county Historical Society
had the interesting affair i'll charge and
made the unwilling al interesting historic
event.
The unwilling of the tablet, which is
set in the front wall OF the church, was
by Henry Shivler, who has conducted a
Sunday school i'll the old editice for the
past thirty years. The presentation
speech was made by Senator John Boyd
Avis, who is a sixth lineal descendant
OF George Avis, who gave the ground
for the church in 1747 when an old log
house was built, which served as a place
of worship until the present structure
was erected in 1856. Rev c. M. Perkins,
of Vineland, accepted the tablet in be-
half OF the p. E. Diocese Of New Jersey.
A historical address was made by Rev.
w. N. Schwarzs, professor Of history i'll
the Moravian College, Bethlehem, Pa,
and the whole assemblage joined in sing
ind "America."
George B. Macaltioner, of W~oodstown,
gave an address OH the early ministry
and after which the chorus of 500 voices
Joined in singing the Doxology, and
Rev. f. J. Collier, Of Woodstown, pro-
nounced the Benediction.
"Tl.e present house looks as if no car
penter nor painter had been called upon
since its construction, yet it appears to
be in a fair state of preservation.
1t is built of brick and is ancient and
reverential in appearance. The old box
seats, the elevated pulpit and the large
seven branched brass candlesticks be-
speak its %antiquated condition.
The Moravians were a highly resqect-
able, refined, educated and religious sect,
who left their fatherland on account of
prosecutions due to their religious belief
and came to this country, where they
felt free to worship as they chose, and
settled along the Delaware. With them
came the teachers and preachers and
they laid the foundation and gave to this
community those religious influences.
which have preserved the honor and
integrity of u people.
The tormentor was not to be out
witted and he followed them to their
peaceful abode and broke up their col
onies and scattered their members and
demoralized, but did not discourage
them. However, their chulches dimin-
ished in interest and services were not
held regularly and on October Is, 1886,
this church was decided to the Protestant
Episcopal Diocese OF New Jersey, who
still holds possession.
Under this latter sect services are not
often held but a Sunday-school is sus-
tanned and the venerable Henry Shivler,
who had the honor of unwilling this
tablet, has been their leader for over
hirty years.
Onthe old tombstones in the church yard
are seen the m Of Shute, Lemine,
Moering, Yarrow, Pearson, Vanneman,
Wood, Rertz with some quaint epitaphs.

Some Aftermath of Red ITEMS Day.

The 23rd, anniversary of Nokomis
Tribe Of R ) eeTebrated in
Divers Grove n enursday. 1t was
a success. The day was bright and beau
tiful with a bracing atmosphere.
The Committee with some of the Red
Mems wives were busy in the forenoon
preparing for the exercises OF the after
% and evening. In the afternoon tn
braves and warriors donned the war paint
and made lots of amusement Tor the
visitors, who began to gather on the
grounds in large numbers.
At $50 O'Clock Great Chief Powhatan
made the address OF welcome followed by
xthe Rev. ~Tushingham, of Pitman who
spoke on fraternalism. He gave a very
interesting and pleasing talk. He was
followed by the Rev. II. R. Blackwood,
who gave a delightful tale on the princi
pies of the Improved Order OF Red Men,
Freedom, Friendship, and Charity. The
three addresses were well received by an
a%ppreciative audience. About two hours
were occupied by supper which had been
prepared by the good wives OF the Red
Men and some others who kindly assisted
them. Oh My! what a good supper such
as only Red Mems wives can prepare.
At s O'Clock, in the presence of a very
large audience, perhaps 1000 people, the
o,,o,.,,, Norfortnona oovo,,onooI oa,oict
ing of five acts opening with Gen. Clusters
Last Fight and closing with a Capture Of
the Pale, face and burning at the stake.
1t is said the third act was more highly
appreciated by the audience than any Of
other acts as it was so realistic and given
with much dramatic force. AS POGO
hontas was bending over Capt. Smith,
pleading SO pitifully with her father Chief
Powhatan to spare Capt. Smiths life, it
brought tears from the eyes of some of
the audience. All of the five acts were
well performed. The music rendered by
The Penn's Grove Band was delightful
and very inspiring.
l believe that every part of the days
celebration was a success even to the
financial part as ! was told they cleared
about $40.
All praise is due to Nokomis Tribe of
Red Men as they are the only order in
town that give the people a good outdoor
entertainment.

The JOY of the Lord.

Some Of the most precious lessons
Of love and trust were taught me by
a poor invalfd upon n of the frst
charges to which 1 was sent. She
was dependent upon her friends; was
a constant rheumatic sufferer, and a
confirmed consumptive. She was a
sanctifed Scotch Presbyterian, and a
monument of the power of Christ's
love to soothe and cheer in suffering.
While disease stuck enVenomed
fangs into her flesh her soul was ever
in a transport of joy. "Oh!" said
she, 81 have not a pain or a priva-
ton, / have no suffering or sorrow
but Jesus is a sharer."
