Mount Joy, PH., May 12.—The
Rev. John Brinser, of Elizabethtown,
a grandson of the Rev. Mathias
Brinser, the founder of the Brinser
denomination, preached at the Brin
ser meeting- in Mount Joy hall on :
Sunday afternoon. The founder of
the church was an eloquent and i
forceful expounder of the word of I
God and could sway his hearers with |
dramatic force. His grandson, by'
Jhi3 sermon on Sunday, showed that!
he possesses the same eloquence and i
suavity in the fullest degree of the {
elder Brinser. The founder of the j
church half a century ago was a !
member of what was then known as |
the River Brethren, now changed'
to the Brethren in Christ. His church
at that time did not sanction the!
erection of meetinghouses, but held l
their meetings in tne houses and 1
barns of its members, Brinser being '
convinced that there was nothing
wrong in having a meetinghouse, j
erected a house of worship at Hills
dale, a few miles west of Elizabeth
town. On account of this he was j
practically excommunicated and j
then it was that he organized the'
Brinser denomination, which name j
was later changed to the United 1
Zlon church. The Brethren in Christ.,
however, now sanction and erect'
churches of which there are many j
