SOCIETY HOliDS
OPE.V AIK SKIIV1CE.S.
The C. E. Society of the Schoeneck Chureh held an open air service at 6:30 p. m. Sunday, Aug. 31.     It was something out of tho usual roufcine and proved to be quite a pleasing af¬ fair.     The brass quartette.    Bender, 1-^ Siegfried, Trein and Seyfried ied tlic ''T singing, which almost eqiralied  that ¦      of the late convention.     Miss    Anna Beitel had furnished selections to be read, there was a' number of earnest sentence prayers,  Hev.  Rights made I     an appeal for recruits tor the mission L^fleld, and as in the hush ot the even- PJing hour they sang, "1 Can Heat my •¦Saviour Calling," one could not help wondering    whether some heart did not answer,  "Where He Leads,  I'll Follow AU the Way."
In place of the customary sermon. Rev. Samuel Allen described in de¬ tail the work among the negroes in Jamaica. He told of the many tropi¬ cal fruits that they grew on their tiny plantaWons, of the life and Jol¬ lity that goes on when they sell them •t the Saturday's market, and of their delight in being able to buy Halifax mutton. He described one Sunday in the Missionary's Life. He rode 30 miles and begap services at 9 a. m. and closed at 4 p. m. There was a children's meeting, a sermon, a wed¬ ding with all thc red tape that be¬ longs to it, in the country, an infant baptism, the pul)lic returning of thanks for tho birth of h' child, the Lord's Supper, aud then facing^ the heat ot the westtern sun traveling agaiu 30 miles to reach home. For¬ tunately he was refri'sh.-d by the juic- . es of delicious tropical fruits that a ijk negro brother gave hira liefore he be- MUa-n to climb the throe miie hill. The rC. E. workers learned that the mis- ionary has to be preacher, lawyer, doctor, and last, but not least, a mender ot parlor organs. Mrs. Alien toid of the agony of her fears, as a young woiiian with her baby, she had to spend tlie niglit alone, witli none but negroes noar, and yot how,in that dread hour, the Lord himselt camo near and reveiled his love to her. Sho told of the poverty of the people, that they often suffered from the lack of tood and that many times the chil¬ dren had no clothing of any kind. Yet they loved the SaYiour; they were de¬ voted to the chirrch; they supported native evangelists in Africa; they called, in their affection, the mission¬ ary's wife, mother, because she did for them the many things tbat only a' mother will do.     ^
After the service was over there was such a gathering of the people in social groups that one felt the words, ¦'Tlio Joy of the Lord Is Your Strength," is not ouly a Bible textbut they stiil bring peace to his people as they meet today.
Willing workers with strong hands hustled the seats and the organ Into kthe church and all again was in apple mio order. When Rev. Henkleman Returns he will flnd an enthusiastic body of devoted, praying church peo¬ ple, ready to push the work, during the busy months of the fall. ,Bro. Loux in the morning referred ta the pleasure that Mr. Bender's solo on the comet had given the Sunday- school, and to the advance that Schoeneck had made in sacr€>d music. Others later told of the days when tho minister had to line the hymns, and sometimes after giving out one line, the organist played two and the congregation sang la, la', la. It must have been a weird performance and must have given great delight to the growing boy. Perhaps the Boy of that day did not dare to laugh In church. Altogether the Schoeneck people can feel that they are going up, and up,as they climb Zion's hill. The "Win One" and "Pray For Four" campaign is still on. There should be a' great Rally Day if all plans can be carried out. They hope to make the Sunday, school a community affair, to, which every one belongs, from the tiny tot in the cradle, to the bending grand sire with his cane; from the man with any church aflliiations to tho ra.an who lias none. Come and jaw tho preacher to his face, and give him a chance to jaw back. Lots of people wiii pitch into the church, and its ' members, and the minister in paftic- ular. Come and give the church a chance to show that it has a good side, and that it don't consist alone ot "Me and My Wife; My son John and his Wite. Wo Four and No More."

PROFITEER FOOD BILL GOES TO SENATE
Agricultural   Classes   Are   Ex¬ empted in  House Measure Reported   Favorably.
Washington.—Tlie Senate Committee on Afiriculture ror'ortcd favorably the Palmer Administration food control hill, designed to ni.Tko possible the prevention of profiteering. The meas¬ ure lias pas.sed the hoiiSe, and is re¬ ported to the senate with only one important nmendnieut of nation wide application.
This one amendment Is of great sig¬ nificance. It Is npiienciod to the pro¬ viso excluding agricultural producers from the provisions and penalties of the act. Tills'new'roviso states that n rate or charge, to be unreasonable, must exceed that fixed by a fair price committee; and the Department of Justice is authorized to provide for the appointment of fair price com¬ mittees.
Introduction of fair prloe commit¬ tees Into the legislative scheme Is an Importnnt change, enabling the De¬ partment of Justice to srt up machine¬ ry In all localities for determining the reasonableness of charges and prices. Their organization nnd methods are left to the discretion of the depart¬ ment.
Two amendments applying only to the Dlstrct of Columbia are recom¬ mended, to prevent extortionate rental charges In Washington.

Motion Pictures at Y. M. C. A.
Douglas Fairbanks makes his re¬ appearance as "Old Doc Cheerful,' in "Tbe Knickerbocker BuckaToo" wbich will be shown at the Y. M. C. A. theatre next Saturday, Bept. 6. The moral of tbis story is tbat doing something for somebody la a worthy and la'udable ambition, but that un¬ selfishness can sometimes be carried too far, and unless guided ^y calm Judgement, may bring the auaelflsh one results he doesn't expect, and, secondly, that the proper place to sta'rt any reconatructiou in characU er Is at bome.
Douglas plays tbe part ot Teddy Dralte, wealthy New Yorker, wbo de¬ cides tbat bis life is all wrong be¬ cause of his selllsb qualities, and starts out to do unselfish things In tbe world, which gets him Into u series of amusingly complicated situ¬ ations laid lu the west.

Brief Sketch of the Hlstorj- of Xazareth.
A paper read before the Northamp¬ ton County Historical Society at a meeting held at the Nazareth Morav¬ ian Church, Thursday, Aug. 2S, 1919, by the Rev. W. H. Vogler.
Owing to the absenae ot Dr. Schwartze, President of the Moravian Historical Socieiy it becomes my pleasant privilege to welcome you, on the occasfon of the second visit of the Northampton County Historical So¬ ciety lo Nazareth; and also at the re¬ quest ot Dr. Hart, your President, to give a brief outline of the early his¬ tory of Nazareth. This with refer¬ ence particularly to the development of our Couniy and State.
In the month of May, 1740, the ¦.it- lie band of Moravians, led by Peter Boehler, who were to build a house intended by George Whitefield as a school for orphan negro children, reached the spot, on what is now the Ephrata grounds which had been se¬ lected for the purpose. At that lime Pennsylvania was divided into four counties: Chester, Philadelphia, Bucks and La'hcasler. York was separated from Lancaster in 1749, and Berks and Northampton trom Bucks In 1759.*
Whitefield     wished to build    this house and village, which he had al¬ ready n-amed Nazareth, and the pro¬ jected building, Ephrata,  "tar  back in the country."    The tract of 5000 acres which he had bought from Wm. Allen,    «    Philadelphia,    "or    2200 pounds,    coincidetl with the present township  of Upper  Nazareth.    Inci¬ dentally, il may be mentioned    that the said Wm. had paid  500  pounds for the tract, showing that he had a long head for real esiate and was not ' short on profiteering. j      "Even the four settled  counties," says an  early  historian,   "contained not only many quite    unsettled    dls¬ lricts but even much unexplored land, while other parts, now in the high¬ est slate of cultivation, were passed by and rejected as unfit for any agri¬ cultural purposes.    To reach any of the settlements in the interior, which were few and far between, required' days of toil;  for in  many instances roads had to be cut  Ihrough track¬ less  forests,  and  bridges built  over swollen    creeks   and    mountain tor¬ rents.     Fortunate was he who could hail his next neighbor    within    the reasonable   distance   of  only  six  or seven miles, or had only ten or fifteen miles to walk on Indian    paths,    to reach the ne-a'rest mill." The King's Highway from Philadelphia, ended at Irish's slone quarry, near    what    Is now HeUertown.    Our    lillie    com¬ pany of seven  people had  lo follow the Indian trail northward from that point in order lo reach their destin¬ ation.    They found a small    settle¬ ment of Indians, who had a field of corn and a peach    orchard    nearby, showing    long    occupancy.    Though these Indians had been ordered off the- land by the Six Nations,    they    still lingered.    Even after Zinzlndorf paid ' Ihem a second lime for their claim, I some  iale  descendants cast  envious ; eyes on the site where now tho Naza¬ reth Waist Mill stands. I      Naturally, a building was first put up for the accommodation of the lit- , tie colony, and a second was buiit be- ^ fore the Ephrata House was complet¬ ed.    This    house    may still be seen and is slill inhabited.    The basement aud foundation walls of the Ephrata I House were finished by the end of the j year,    the    building was to be solid stone struciure 56 feet long and 35 feet wide.     Imagine, if you can what was involved in such an undertaking, al so great a distance    from    other settlements, in the midst of a prime¬ val foresl!     Set   before   yourselvee, with what vividness   you   may,    the philaiitbropy and visioa of the great Evangelist whose project It was!   In tbe midst of beautiful surrounding*, the Ephrata Hon**, enlarged in 1907> still commands attention of all pa**' ersby.    An old house on WhlteflelS Street, below Belvidere, and the site of an old bam back of it on tbe alley mark the farm building* which witb the    other*   Jtt*t    mentioned    were- known a* Old Nazareth, *o called In eontradlatlnction   to   tbe   Nazareth, which grew up in the direction of Naareth Hall, erected   about    176S. This noble strueture wss intended as a dwelling for Count Zlnslndorf, who, however, never occupied it.    The old Castle or Sister's House on tbe eakt side of the Hall    Square,    and    the Brethren'* House, opposite the new Y. M. C. A. building, both solid stone structure*, may have influenced the growth of the town along Main Street rather    than    about    the    Ephnta House. «
