As the school houso was too small, thoy obtained permission to hold their service in tho old church at Stillwater. After occupying this church one week, thoy Were denied further priv ilege, and they wero obliged to return to tho school house. During this revival a number mado a profession of religion who virtually bqcimo subsequently tho founders of the Zion congregation. This Slacker school house continued from 1812 to J8")7 us a preaching point, and tho congregation, without church organiza tion, was served by l!evs. 1"). S. Tobias, II. Vuuk and W. Goodrich. On the 17th of February, 18.i7, the ion church was dedicated, and on the following Sat urday tho Zion congregation was organ izud with thirty members. These were principally from Oraugdville and the St. James congregation. Hcv. Goodrich, in whoso time tho Zion church was built, continued to servo this congregation till 18G5. During his pastorate of this con gregation he baptized a" and confirmed ;!0. During his brief pastorate, of less than two years, Kov. E. I?. Wilson bap tized 4 and confirmed i); and lov. A. lloutz to present time baptized 21 and confirmed !10. This congregation in the way of baptism? and confirmations, has made equal progress with tho other con gregations of the charge, but it has sus tained moro losses by deatli than they. Death has laid its relentless grasp upon n number of its members and depleted its ranks. This congregation, however, has not been retrograding, but has been making progress slowly. The attend nnco is good and thero exists a harmoni ous feeling among tho members. It is surrounded by considerable counter influ ence which seems to retard its progress somewhat. There has not been enough Hclf independence maintained in tho con gregation and Sabbith school. Without fear or favor, tho Lord's Prayer, the ten commandments, catechism and Apostle's Creed should bo used. Rather than sacri fice tho doctrinal expressions of our faith to the caprice of a fow persons who in faith and religious culturo differ from us, we had rather sacrifico tho favor and attendance of those who would make disturbance. Thero is a number of -ouiig persons in tins neighborhood who are not regu lnrly connected with any relimnm dp. nomination. Having attended various kinds of religions service, they are much unsettled in theirreligiou pinions, and going from one church to another, have becoinovascilatiui;aiid trilling. Attempt ing to bo everything they are nothing. Their energies are scattered and feeble; without :i church name and without a church home. Far better would it bo if thoy yould identify themselves with a church ot their choice and till their pla ces in that vineyard. We want more concentration ot church life and energy in this congregation. A free and unre served display of our creed, doctrine and faith, and a bold advocacy of and adhe sion to the same. As a congregation who enjoys ha charter furnished by the General .Synod, wo should olwy that charter as our constitution. To be less compromising and more independent as n church, is tho nest attitude wo can as sumo. About tjio'year 1830, Aunt Savilla 1 ealer started a IJiblo class in the old Stuckerschool house, which was kept up for years.and finally developed into the present Zion Sabbath school. Shoniav therefore, bo regarded as tho founder of tho .ion nabbatli school, and perhaps in a certain sense, tho founder of the Reformed church in that neighborhood, as tho Sabbath school gave rise to the preaching point. Mho bauhath fcIiooI during tho last few years has made considerable progress in tho number of its attendants, but number is not the highest end. .Its main object should be to prepare tor the church it it is tho niir scry of tho church. In so, far as this object is not readied, tliobabbath school is a failure. Tho Sabbath school, at nil events, should bo under the direction of tho church Tho planting of shade trees was woe fully neglected when this church was built. Ilad this been attended to at tho time, the church would now bemirround ed by. a beautiful grove. Wo recoup .mend that u rod of additional ground be leased or purchased on the south side mid that thero bo suitable trees planted around tho church. In tho winter of 1880-S1, the Zion church was greatly improved in tho in terior iy a now gallery, pulpit, carpets, matthig, painting, kalciuiining of tho wuw una an organ; aiso ny anew cnan delierand bracket lamps.

Tlio first regular Reformed servicowas held in tho old I'nion log church, locat ed at tho MoIIeniy graveyard, two or threo miles west of Ora.igeville, This church wns jointly owned by tho Luth erans and Reformed. It hud a gallon on threo sides, and an old-fashioned pnl pit. Rov. Jacob DeifTonbaeh preached hero during his ministry in this county, (1815-1821.) It is (ititto probable that each denomination worshipping hero inning iiui period, urn nut. nave service more than oueo in a month. Key. I.a rose beoamo Rev. J. Deiffcnbueh's suo censor and served this congregation a few years. Tradition says ho was a fine speaker, very gentlemanly in his appear nnco nnd had a very agreeable and at tractive wife. Death soon ended his useful career and for years his remains liavo been pcacctully slumbering in the old graveyard at Illoomsburg. His con genial companion soon followed him to tho spirit world. As co-workers in tho earthly vineyard of their blessed Master, they now cense from their labors mid have possessed their heavenly inheri tance. About tho year 1828 or 2!) tho congre gation moved their place of worship ton building in Orangevillo, This house was looaled wheio tho flue residence of Col. II, R. Kline now utaiids on Mill street, and is snid to have been built for th double purpose of day school and wor - ship. IIero they continued to worship till about the year 1810 when they moved to the Union church, their present place of worship. The Rev. Isaac Shelhiinuner became the immediate successor of Rov. Laroso ut tlio old Union log church and contin ued to serve the Reformed Interest hero till it moved to Oraugeville. His survi vors tell us thnt he traveled ou foot to his various appointments; that he was humble in spirit mid faithful in the per formance of duty. Ills piety wns great er than his education it is true, but nev ertheless ho'wasa truo spiritual shepherd and his paternal spirit secured tor him the well merited titlo of Father Shel- hauuuer. In tho vear 1829 Rev. Daniel S. Tobi as became pastor of this congregation, now located in the town, and continued to serve It till 18."1, In tho meantime a growing want for .Knglih service ne cessitated the employment of a pastor in this language. Accordingly in the year 1811, tho Kov. Henry Juink became the eolleaguoof I lev. D.S.Tobias, the foi lit er serving in the English nnd the latter in tho German. This double arrange ment continued till the closo of Rev. robins' pastorate of this congregation, when the transition irom tho German languago to tho English language wns completed. Rov. hunk remained the sole pastor during tho following three years and then declining health necessi tated his resignation. His successors in regular order wero Revs. W. Goodrich, 12, 13." Wilson and A. lloutz. This congregation at one lime was tho largest in tho neighbor hood, but by removals and deaths its ranks have become very much depleted. . Within the lust ten years however, its membership has been doubled. Since 18 10 it has been worshipping together with the Presbyterian and the Lutheran congregations in the Union church. Du ring ail this time, with very rare excep tions, thero has been maintained a spirit of unity and fellowship between theso congregations. Being of one faith, ono baptism, and ot one Lord, they all gen erally attend when there is divine service, and especially when tho Lord's Sup per is administered. In this church has often been felt iiy many a devout wor shipper the sentiment of that beautiful and traiernai hymn: "Blest bo tho tie that binds Our hearts in Christian love; Tho fellowship of kindred minds Is liko to that above." Here, too, the experience of the wor shipper has given renewed sanction to tho doctrine of the communion of saints. To worship hero is a sacred privilege and pleasure. Hallowed by the sacred asso ciations of forty years, tho old Union church will soon undergo repairs which will beautify the temple ot our dear de parted ancestors and do honor to their posterity. Him. uv kui'okmhh conoiieoatiox. Previous to 1838 tho Presbyterian brethren worshipped in a log church lo cated where the present Union church now stands. Tho Reformed at that time had no organization there, but wor shipped at the upper Briarcrcek church. Tho old log church becoming dilapidat ed, it became necessary to build a new one. The Presbyterian brethrenmade overtures to the Lutherans and Reform ed in he neighborhood to unite with them in building a new Union church. The agreement was entered into and the present Union church was built in 1838 and rebuilt in 1872. With tho building of this church began the organization of the Ridley Reformed congregation. It was organized mostly of members from the upper Hriarcreek congregation. This congregation was served by tho following pastors: Revs. Isaac Stiely, Henry Hoffman, John W. Lesehcr, A. R. llottenstein and A. lloutz. From tho time of its organiza tion till 1871, this congregation belonged to the North Susquehanna charge. At the annual meeting of classis held at Sliainokiu in 1871, it was transferred to tho Orangevillo charge. The members of this congregation are generally well-to-do fanners. The com munity is known as tasty in dress and somewhat worldly in their pursuits. And while the latter is still quite piomi nent, wo are happy to say the people are inclined to be bomcwhat more spirit ually minded, nnd more liberal in their contributions to benevolent objects. That this congregation is behind the others in some particulars cannot bo de nied, but its former associations have done much to shape its character. It was at ono time under the control of a minister who belonged to the Independ cut Synod. This spirit is occasionally seen yet, but is fast dying out. It once belonged ton charge havingeight or ten congregations, and was not accustomed to do much for tho pastor. And it has just made the transition from tho Ger man to the English language. Brother Ilottenstinc was the last pastor who preached in the German languago and A. lloutz tlio first regular English pas tor. Within the last few years, the Rid ley church and graveyard have been greatly improved, which has awakened a church pnue m the people, llio taab bath school is well patronized and ably conducted. Tho relation of the three denominations is harmonious and peace ful. The prospect of the Reformed con gregation here is good. It has taken a higher stand in tho sphere of morals mid christian obligation. The atmosphere, however, effects not only tho barometer in this place but wo are sorry to say al so the attendance upon divine woiship, but not so much so much so the attend anco at tho Fair or election, A more regular nnd better attendance, especially in tho afternoon, would be abetter man ifestation of the christian life and zeal. Thu singing -in this church is not to good as it might be. As each denomi nation is too weak to have a good choir of its own, and as thero is ample materi al in tho three denominations to form a good choir, why not organize a union choir like that at Oraugeville? Wake up brethren and move in the line of pro gress. A. II. Tlio public nro indebted to Dr. J. 0.
