IN the heart Of this beautiful and

of John Peter Gabriel Muhlenberg,
Ian Episcopal and Lutheran min
lister. who in 1776 told his congre-
cation. "The time has come to
fight"
Cast Cloth Aside.
With that statement, the Rev.
Muhlenberg tossed aside his min
isterial vestments to reveal the
uniform Of a colonel in the Con-
ltinental Army.
Among Mr.. Muhlenberg's con-
ltemporaries in Woodstock were
John Sewer. who lived here three
years before going to found Ten
|nessee in 1773 and later become
Its Governor; Thomas Marshall
father Of United States Chief
Justice John Marshall, and Jona-
than Clark, brother Of George
Rogers Clark, the explorer.

ltivities are centering around the
