SHAKER SECT IS
FAST VANISHING
Once Powerful Comnu-
nifty Victim of Ruthless
Exploitation.

New Lebanon, N. Fantastic
religious dogmas that forbade mar
riage, insisted on absolute separa-
ton of the sexes and an equality
of inheritance have thinned the
ranks of once powerful sect, the
Shakers.
Only handful remain here at
New Lebanon, where the ruling
body Of Shaker elders once held
forth, directing the destinies OF
flourishing Shaker communities
along the eastern seaboard whose
membership numbered thousands.
Only a single Shaker colony re-
mains at Lebanon, Ohio, at one
time a stronghold of the sect. Other
colonies still extant but in pitiful
contrast to their former condition
may be found at East Canterbury.
N. H., and Pittsfeld, Mass.
History of Sect Strange.
Annals of the sect are strong and
colorful. Under the leadership OF
James and Jane Wardleigh, in 1747,
q group of Quakers, whose reli-
gious fervor caused them to twitch
and tremble during services, sepa-
rated from the main body and
founded what they termed the
United Society of Believers In
Christ's Second Appearance. The
term Shaker, first applied in deri-
sion by scoffers, was later accepted
proudly by the brethren.
Dancing with which the Shakers
accompany their religious rites Is
described as q picturesque cere-
mony. At the community house OF
worship, after exhortati0ni by the
elders, the males Of the copgrega-
ton would form ranks in hall
circle, according to size and age,
facing the women who were ar
ranged likewise.
At q signal the choir would sing
while the ranks moved up and
down, swinging arms in rhythm,
rising on tiptoe and shaking or
swaying from side to side.
Shakers contributed much to
Americas trade In the early days.
Possessing a reputation for proph-
ecy and religious foresight, the
Shaker communities drew into the
fold the residents of surrounding
neighborhoods who at that time
were willing to give up their world
ly belongings and live a life OF cell
bacy.
The community became not only
self-sustaining but wealthy. Shrewd
Shaker farmers bought the best
and richest lands for the commu-
mites, the Shaker workshops hum
ming at broom and furniture max
ing. their machinists invented the
buzz-saw. and money rolled ID on
