BIBLIOGRAPHIC RECORD The Columbia Encyclopedia, Sixth Edition. River Brethren name used to designate certain Christian bodies originating in 1770, during a revival movement among German settlers in E Pennsylvania. In the 1750s, Mennonite refugees from Switzerland had established their homes near the Susquehanna River. Their religious leaders, Jacob and John Engle, became associated with the revival, and their followers came to be known as the River Brethren, possibly because they were baptized in the Susquehanna upon joining the brotherhood. Several factions of the River Brethren withdrew in the mid-19th cent., including the Yorker Brethren and the United Zion Church, while the main body took the name Brethren in Christ, by which a group of Mennonites is also known. The Brethren practice trine (triple, in allusion to the Trinity) immersion and foot washing, adhere to plain dress, and oppose war, alcohol, tobacco, and worldly pleasures. There were about 11,000 members in the United States and Canada in 1992. They carry out missionary work in Asia and Africa.

Extractions: Brethern, Schwenkfelders and Other Plain People Last Update: This new religion immediately attracted much attention and soon began to make converts. Since many of the early Brethren had been members of the Reformed Church, this older Protestant church was bitter and resorted to persecution to stamp out the new sect. Many of the Brethren fled to Krefeld on the lower Rhine; but hearing of the religious freedom of Penn's new colony, twenty families consistipg of one hundred and twenty people set sail for America. Arriving in Philadelphia in 1719, they settled in Gennantown. On Christmas Day, 1723, the first congregation was organized with seventeen members who had been baptized in Gennany and six converts baptized that day in the Wissahickon. At this first baptismal service in America they had to break the ice on the creek before the new members could be baptized. After the ceremony they held their first love feast and communion at the home of Johannes Gumre, one of their members. The following year a second congregation was fonned at Coventry and a third at Conestoga. In 1729 their leader, Alexander Mack, came to America, bringing with him most of the other Brethren. As the few who were left in Europe returned to the Refonned Church, the whole church may be said to have been transferred to Pennsylvania.

Canning in Cans and the Tomato Comes of Age From the Commode to the Privy to Indoors! Grocery Shopping The Telephone The Automobile ... The Circus I have often held that, beyond a shadow a doubt, the indoor toilet is the greatest invention ever invented by man. (Followed closely, no doubt, by the invention of toilet paper! Can you really imagine life without toilet paper!) I am only personally familiar with the small, 3'x3' one-holer of my grandfather, but I do remember being in awe while inside a neighbor's 3-holer once. But, of course, one only heard about the grand and glorious, roomy, bricked, 5-holers, with a STOVE no less! And in the mountains, of course, two story privy's. This was so the folks would have a privy when the snow got too high and blocked the door on the lower level! I vividly remember running as fast as I could in the middle of the night so the "boogie" man wouldn't get me. In order for the toilet to come indoors, three things had to happen: 1) a means devised to bring water into the home, i.e., water supply and indoor plumbing 2) the device itself, and 3) a means of disposal.
