completed in September It burned
down in 1742 and following the fire
the fur company ceased operations
in these parts.

particularly the spring running
through the property and so her
husband decided to build their
home there. The keystone was laid
in April 1742 and certain articles
placed in it for preservation, but
the Historical Society have been I'M
able to determine where the stone
is. A deep 10-foot-wide moat ran
in front Of the house but was filled
in after the Hager's oldest son, Da-
vid, was drowned in it.
Mr.. Horn told his audience that
many history making meetings were
held in the house. George Wash
ington was there in 1889 and other
noted visitors included Benjamin
Franklin and Governor Dinwiddie
and Henry Lee of Virginia.
Mr.. Horn, who has just completed
a history of this section of the coun-

House and pointed out that had
such a building been in Kansas,
where he now lives, that it would
have been taken over by the State

BLACK GODS OF THE METRO
POLLS by Arthur Huff Fauset (Uni-
versity Of Pennsylvania Press; Phil
adelphia: 1914; $2.00 is study OF
Ave Negro religious cults Of the
urban North The Ave cults were
chosen because they are the most
important and best-known Of the
principal types Of churches which
broke away from the more orthodox
urban churches. Mt. Sinai Holy
Church Of America, Inc. United
House Of Prayer for All People.
Church Of God (Black Jews), Moor
ish Science Temple of America and
Father Divine Peace Mission Move
ment are the cults studied here.
Trey represent the following prin.
cipal types of churches: Faith Heal
Ing, Holiness, Islamic and Pente-
costa1.
Mr.. Fauset takes a position on the
question Of African religious sur
vivals between that OF men like E.
Franklin Frazier and Robert Z.
Park who state that there are no
survivals and Melville Herskovits
who emphasizes 1.-The importance Of
the influence OF the African river
cults in the religious development
Of the American Negro" In fact.
the author points out that much
more historical evidence must be
brought forward to support the
claims of an African heritage in
Negro religious practices.
RITUALS
The author follows the same pat
tern in examining each OF the cults:
the presentation OF the testimony
OF a convert; then a discussion Of
the ritual and beliefs Of each group
as gained from attendance at the
services, interviews with the lead
ers and members OF the cult and a
study of the religious texts and
publications. Two Of the cults we're
found to be highly nationalistic.
the Church Of God and the Moorish
Science Temple OF America. The
Church OF God or Black Jews be-
lieve that they are the Jews men,
toned in the Bible and that Jesus
was a black man. According TO
them so-called Jews are interlopers
and the solution for the worlds
troubles will come only when Black
Jews are in high places The Moor
ish Science Temple believers hold
that there is no Negro. black. col
ored or Ethiopian-only "Asiatic"
or, Moorish American.
In his discussion OF Father Divine
Mr.. Fauset states from the ouset
that he has no answer to the in
triguing question OF where Father
Divine gets his money. On the other
hand in the United House OF Prayer
for All People the leader. Daddy
Grace. devotes large part OF the
service and the literature OF the
church TO pleas for money The
Father Divine movement is strong
although the exact number Of mem
bers Is now known.
