Rededication Of Coleman
Chapel Scheduled Sunday
The historic Coleman Memor­ial
Chapel United Presbyterian
near Brickerville, will conduct
a service of rededication Sun-
- day, September 25, at 2:30 p.m.
in recognition of the recent
restoration and redecoration of
the chapel as it appeared when

years ago.
The chapel is located on

of the intersection with Route
322 at Brickerville. The Rev.
Robert W. Etter is pastor.
The guest speaker will be
Rev. Francis H. Scott, minister

There will be special music
provided by William Rhoads on
the organ, and by Miss Mary
Jane Webster-, soprano soloist.
The service will be followed by

The origins of Coleman Me­morial
Chapel are part of the
initial settling of the northern
area of Lancaster County by
ironmasters and their German
immigrant workers more than
200 years ago.
In 1758, the year after which
Henrich Wilhelm Stiegel ac­quired
the iron business from
his father-in-law, John Jacob
Huber, and reconstructed the
blast furnace, naming it ‘Eli­zabeth
Furnace”, this “meet­ing
house” was erected as a
reiligious center for the more
than two dozen families of
charcoal burners and ironwork­ers
then living throughout
Furnace Hills. This is the west­ern
portion of the building
and is occupied by the church
school. Records of the Sun­day
School extend back to
1830.
In 1776 Robert Coleman
came to Elizabeth Furnace, ex­panded
its ironinaking facili­ties,
and by 1790 had built the

A window in memory of F.
William and Elizabeth High
Stengel has been installed in
the Mary Dixon Chapel at
Linden Hall and will be conse­crated
by Bishop Allen W.
Schattsehneider at the Vesper
Service on Sunday evening.
The window rs the gift to Lin­den

the result of careful collabar-ation
between Lowell Oti->
Stengel, the artists and de­signers
of the Ruby Glass Com­pany
of York and the Rev.
John Norman, assistant head­master
at Linden Hall and a
member of the Commission on
Church Architecture of the
Moravian Church.
The Tudor Arch of the win­dow
depicts the late Doctor
and Mrs. Stengel with five
Linden Hall girls indicating
the closeness and easy rapport
between the Headmaster and
the students.
In the same arch are repre­sented
the cupola of the Lititz
Moravian Chapel and the en­trance
to the “Castle” at Lin­den
Hall indicating the vital re­lationship
between the school
and the church, between edu­cation
and religion.
In the lower portions of the
■window,' there are four panels,
all subjects in the life of
Christ. They are interpreted
by Dr. Byron K. Horne, head
master, in the following para
graphs.
One represents “Jesus the
Carpenter.” This panel reminds
us that Jesus was part of a STAINED GLASS WINDOW in memory , of Dr.

Compromise
Reached With
Hogan Homes
The Warwick School board
leached a compromise agree-
I menl with Hogan Homes Tues-j
clay night to purchase for
$75.000 the land on which the
Kissel Hill School is being
built.
I Some months ago, when the
‘land was condemned, the school
¡district made an initial pay-
1 incut of $36.000 on the tract,
i the final price pending an
j agreement. The school board
wanted to pay about $60,000
tor the land, while Hogan’s
[ Company wanted at least
$100,000. Each party employed
appraisers to determine the
| iigure. Hogan’s two appraisers
! arriving at figures of $103,766
j and $113,020, while the school
district’s three appraisers
reached figures of $57,217, $64,-
227, and $65.000. Since the
111 mil $75,000 agreed upon in­cluded
interest of $3.546, the
actual cost reached was $71,-
| 454, which meant the school
i board went up about $11,000
i on what it wanted to pay, while
Hogan’s came down by at
least $25,000.
I uesday night, when the
! agreement was reached, the
I final payment of $39,000 for
i the land was authorized. The
I site comprises 18 acres,
