The voters of the county wlU flll more offlcers next November, at the general election, than is usual dur¬ ing election years. Three county commissioners, commissioners' clerk district attorney, prothonotary, sheriff, coroner, county treasurer, two poor directors and clerk of the orphans court must be elected. What adds spice to the coming campaign is that the present sher¬ iff, county tresvsurer and district at¬ torney can not succeed ttiemselves and Thomas A. L. Hay, prothonotary for the past 30 years, has announced that he will not seek re-election.

The settlement at Nazareth was eflected In 1740 by Rev. Oeo. Whit-i field a powerful Methodist preacher. who with some Moravians had come from Georgia. ' They arrived In the month of April 1740 with the objective in mind to found an orphan home and school for negro children, at the forks of the Delaware In what Is now North¬ ampton County and the town of Nazareth. Amongst the group of Moravians was Rev. Peter Boehler destined to become a great factor In the Mora-: vian denomination, and also a lad who later became the great Mission¬ ary among the Indians, David Zeis- berger. The Moravian constituency had amongst their numl>er good mech-, anios, who built the first house on the present Whitfield Tract, and also the Whitfleld House, whleb as a School and the flrst House of Worship. Rev. WhltAeld, was however, not destined to continue tn the work for any length of time. Realising thai the Moravians were destined bf Ood to carry on this work, Whitfleld aak> ed them to take charge of It after agreeing upon a price paid for the land which he had purebaaed through Wm. Seward of London, England. This trans3^tion took plaee aooQ after the work had started. A congregation was not however organized until June 25th 1747. tbe members being connected witb tbe congre^ratio!! at Bethlehem. Penna. From this time forth tbey becaoaa independent of the Bethlehem Oaii« gregatlon, and the congregation baa effectively functioned at Nasaretb for almost two centuries.

The settlement at Nazareth was eflected In 1740 by Rev. Oeo. Whit-i field a powerful Methodist preacher. who with some Moravians had come from Georgia. '
They arrived In the month of April 1740 with the objective in mind to found an orphan home and school for negro children, at the forks of the Delaware In what Is now North¬ ampton County and the town of Nazareth.
Amongst the group of Moravians was Rev. Peter Boehler destined to become a great factor In the Mora-: vian denomination, and also a lad who later became the great Mission¬ ary among the Indians, David Zeis- berger.
The Moravian constituency had amongst their numl>er good mech-, anios, who built the first house on the present Whitfield Tract, and also
the Whitfleld House, whleb
as a School and the flrst House of
Worship.
Rev. WhltAeld, was however, not destined to continue tn the work for any length of time. Realising thai the Moravians were destined bf Ood to carry on this work, Whitfleld aak> ed them to take charge of It after agreeing upon a price paid for the land which he had purebaaed through Wm. Seward of London, England.
This trans3^tion took plaee aooQ after the work had started.
A congregation was not however organized until June 25th 1747. tbe members being connected witb tbe congre^ratio!! at Bethlehem. Penna. From this time forth tbey becaoaa independent of the Bethlehem Oaii« gregatlon, and the congregation baa effectively functioned at Nasaretb for almost two centuries. In realltgf the Nazareth Congregation antldatee the Bethlehem Congregation.
Thirty-five pastors bave aerved this congregation during the ISi years.
Thus far the longest pastorate area that of Rev. Lemke, who served for 28 years as Principal and Preacber.
The town and community people are most cordially Invited to attend the services next Sunday.
