The " Record of the Faithful" * states that this con- gregation was organized in 1859 with 50 members; that the first house was erected in 1860; that in 1881-1882 it had three houses and a membership of 98. George Brumbaugh was bishop, George B. Brumbaugh in the second and John Brumbaugh in the first degree of the ministry.
At a meeting held May 7, 1881, the peace of the Broth- erhood was heavily upon the hearts of the members at this place for this query is recorded: " Inasmuch as we look upon the threatening troubles which seem to hang over the church at present with fearful apprehensions as threatening division and severing our relations as a fra- ternity, therefore resolved that we look upon these ex- treme agitations as being promoters of strife rather than the advancement of the church." A strong plea for re- straint is given.
The question of a supported ministry found favor in the eyes of the bishop, George B. Brumbaugh, who made a strong address in its favor at a council meeting Sep- tember 5, 1885; but in the face of this the congregation voted against such an innovation.
The members petitioned General Conference April 14, 1888, favoring the name " Brethren." While August 12, 1893, the congregation "agreed to be solicited for the proposed Old Folks Home and invited the Home to be located within the bounds of the James Creek congre- gation."
September 7, 1894, the boundary line was established between the newly organized Raven Run congregation, consisting mostly of members from the Hopewell com- munity, and this body. This line " begins at the top of Tussey mountain and following a line between Hunting- don and Bedford Counties to Cove station, thence to Weaver's Bridge at Raystown Branch, then in direct line to Broad Top City."

SUNDAY-SCHOOLS
Bethel. At the convention held October 21, 1876, this school was represented by Benjamin Brumbaugh. It had "forty scholars and five teachers. Interest seemingly good. Opened and closed as usual." * Two years later Rufus A. Zook and Samuel Brumbaugh represented at the Spring Run convention. They reported "not many children attend. Partakes more of the nature of a Bible class." +
The school reported to the 1898 convention average attendance, 33; $5.39 raised for supplies; conducted six months of year. In 1904 average attendance, 23; four teachers; $9.63 raised, of which $3.88 went for missions and charities; conversions, two.
The organization for 1923 was Million J. Miller, superintendent ; Hazel Gahagen, secretary; Ella V. Miller, treasurer. The average attendance was fifteen pupils and three teachers.
Superintendents : Up to 1904 not known; 1904, Isaac Brumbaugh ;
1905, ; 1906, Oliver V. Gehret; 1907, Thomas M. Norris. Though no report, in recent years Million J. Miller has been carrying on the work.
James Creek. This school was represented at the 1876 convention by Robert Mason who stated that it was organized May 14, 1876. This however, may refer to the organization for that year, for some say that a school was started as early as in the sixties some time. Thus runs the report further : "Average attendance thirty-six. Five teachers and three officers. International lesson papers used in reci- tation, and for singing, the Gospel Hymns."# Two years later Robert Mason and George Brumbaugh represented at the Spring Run Convention and made this report: " Average attendance twenty- nine. Assign a word as ' Lord' and have pupils commit and repeat a verse next Sabbath containing such a word."
At the convention 1898 the school reported: average attendance,

38; $20.62 raised, of which $4.00 went to missions and charity. For 1904 average attendance, 31; four teachers; $27.29 raised, of which $4.38 was given to missions and charity. The school has been "evergreen " since 1900; had teacher training class during 1913 and nine received first year certificates.
Superintendents : 1876, Robert Mason; not known then till 1900-'07, John G. Norris; 1908, Frank Myers; 1909-'22, J. Grove Norris ; 1923, Everet Harris; 1924, John Brumbaugh.
James A. Sell wrote the following worthy tribute to this congregation :
" This church is unique in the number of strong men it has given to the brotherhood. Here the men were reared who conceived the idea and put in operation the forces that resulted in Juniata College,-the first school of the brotherhood. Jacob M. Zuck is honored as its founder but it was John B. Brumbaugh who invited him to Huntingdon to start a school and entertained him in his own home free of charge the first year. H. B. Brum- baugh provided the room in his own building in which the school was kept until it required larger quarters. Dr. Andrew B. Brumbaugh, a native of James Creek, used his influence, his talents and his money to advance the interests of the school and never wavered in his sup- port. Professor Jacob H. Brumbaugh entered as a teacher at a sacrifice when the school was struggling for recognition and existence. The devotion of these four men to a cause that was new, unpopular and untried, that required money which was not in sight and talent not yet developed to give it reputation and make it a success, is a priceless legacy to their descendants and an honor to the church that nurtured them in its Christian fellowship.
" Martin G. Brumbaugh, who, later on, became the president of Juniata College and a distinguished educator and lecturer,-the one who established a system of edu- cation on the island of Porto Rico and later served the State of Pennsylvania as governor, was reared to man- hood in this church.
"It was here that the three Brumbaugh brothers, Henry, George and John started the publication of The Pilgrim, the second weekly church paper which was finally merged into other publications now the estab- lished literature of the church."

A History of the Church of the Brethren
HUNTINGDON*
Present Membership, 586.
Dr. Andrew B. Brumbaugh, through opening an office to practice medicine in Huntingdon, Pennsylvania in April, 1866, became the first resident member of the Church of the Brethren. His wife, Maria (née Frank, a member) and two children moved in from their home in Marklesburg in June following. Later in the same year David and Jane Deniser began residences here.
When The Pilgrim was moved from Marklesburg on December 23, 1873, Henry B. and Susan, his wife, John B. Brumbaugh and Wealthy A. Clark, all connected with that publication, doubled the group of members. Next spring Eleanor J. VanDyke, later becoming the wife of John B. Brumbaugh, joined the number and now there were nine members of the Church of the Brethren in the city, most of whom were engaged in large things for the Lord and the Church.
But the little band had to go to James Creek, some eleven miles distant, to enjoy fellowship with "those of like precious faith." While these trips were greatly en- joyed they also argued strongly for a place of worship in the borough ; and especially encouraged by promised help from the District to the amount of $100.00, in less than two years a room, 16 x 65 feet, on the first floor of the Pilgrim building, corner of 14th and Washington Streets, was fitted up for service. A small pulpit, a part of the furnishings, the gift of Dr. Andrew B. Brum- baugh, marked a radical change for those times when the long table was perhaps without exception still used. That historic, sacred desk is still used in the chapel in Founder's Hall. On Saturday evening, June 19, 1875, George Brumbaugh preached; text, Matthew 9: 10-13. The next morning the large room was formally dedi- cated, Peter S. Myers speaking from Galatians 6:14; in the evening Archibald Van Dyke spoke; text, Psalms 119: 59-61.
" On Monday morning, on the way to the depot, Peter S. Myers was met by Wealthy A. Clark of the Pilgrim

James A. Sell some months after held the first series of meetings, beginning March 4 and continuing about ten days. On March 5, David Y., son of Peter Long Swayne who had recently moved into the city from Aughwick, and Gaius M., son of Andrew B. Brumbaugh, were, by baptism in the old canal, Henry B. Brumbaugh officiating, received into membership and thereby became the first members baptized in the Huntingdon congrega- tion. Howard Coble was also received at this meeting.
A few members joined the group before Jacob M. Zuck arrived on April 15, 1876, and opened the Normal two days later. Carrie Miller, who later became the wife of William J. Swigart, arrived July 26. Then James Quinter and family came October 31 and a short time after, Joseph W. Beer and family.
" The Normal" grew rapidly from the start and that increased the membership of the little, forming church. Just a short time elapsed until James Creek congregation decided to effect a separate organization of the Hunting- don Church and this was done September 28, 1878. The membership of the new congregation consisted of :
Ministers : James Quinter, Henry B. Brumbaugh, Wil- liam J. Swigart.
Laymembers : 32.
Organization : James Quinter, bishop ; Jacob H. Brum- baugh, secretary. In a few months the need of a treas- urer and a desire on the part of the church to have the secretary act as treasurer, caused him to resign and Dr. Andrew B. Brumbaugh was elected and served almost continuously until his death in 1908. Jacob H. Brum- baugh became treasurer and rendered a long capable service in that office.
" The Normal " moved into Founders' Hall on Monday, April 7, 1879, and the following Sunday "the first meet- ing was held in the new chapel. . . . James Quinter preached a very interesting sermon . . . from the last

verse of the 55th chapter of Isaiah. His subject was the ' Transformation of human character.'" * This, how- ever, does not appear to be a dedication service. At the " formal opening of the new building," April 17, the dedi- cation no doubt included both school and church, for at the time Isaac Price (Coventry Church near Philadel- phia), one of the trustees, presented the church and col- lege with a Bible for pulpit use.
At a very early moment of its existence the Hunting- don congregation manifested an aggressive policy in seeking the welfare of men and women in circles beyond their immediate contact. From the records of the con- gregation it is gleamed that on February 24, 1880, the congregation considered the work of the Ladies Temper- ance Union and urged upon " the authorities to unite in suppressing profanity and loafing in public places." The following April 7, Henry B. Brumbaugh had a resolution favoring the establishing of a "home somewhere in the East, for the poor and infirm of our fraternity " passed and sent to District Meeting. Prayer-meetings were conducted in the chapel at 1400 Washington Street,t though there appears to be no record until July 27, 1880, when Henry B. Brumbaugh resigned from the super- intendency of that work but was reappointed for another year.
The " Record of the Faithful " # states at this time that this congregation was organized in 1878 with twelve members; that in 1881-'82 it had a membership of 175 which " includes resident students." James Quinter was bishop; Henry B. Brumbaugh was in the second and William J. Swigart in the first degree of the ministry.
February 7, 1883 " Henry B. Brumbaugh was elected a member from this church on the board of Trustees of the Orphan's Home." The spirit of peace so dear to our Pennsylvania brethren cropped out when in April 30, 1884, William J. Swigart asked the congregation to pe- tition General Conference to be represented at the next National Peace Convention. Sunday-school quarterlies prepared by Solomon Z. Sharp and published by "The

baugh, J. Allen Myers and I. Harvey Brumbaugh, erected the Stone Church, 45 x 93 feet (outside dimensions) with basement fitted for Sunday-school purposes, costing $19,312.75. On December 11, 1910, the dedicatory ad- dress was delivered by Martin G. Brumbaugh of Phila- delphia. Text, John 4: 24. Oscar R. Myers directed the lifting of the morning offering which amounted to $6,900.00. Service was held in the afternoon, conducted by William J. Swigart during which a sermon, “A Present Tense Christian," by Charles C. Ellis, was deliv- ered. At this meeting another $1,000.00 was added to the morning offering. In the evening William M. Howe (Johnstown congregation) spoke from the text, "In the beginning God." *
The congregation appointed John B. Brumbaugh as pastor, May 1, 1905. At first he gave part time and later all, to the task. September 1, 1914, John H. Cassady be- gan pastoral labors and continued four years. April 1, 1920, Galen K. Walker took up the work and continues.
Missions, both home and foreign, have always been a large factor in the church life of the Huntingdon congre- gation. Through the college and church being so closely associated, the congregation has a blessed missionary record. Mary N. Quinter, a charter member, served first in Chicago and then went to India and was called to her glorious reward from that field, January 14, 1914. David, a faithful native, in the India church, was educated by the Huntingdon congregation. Other special supports from time to time have been given.
Student missionaries who wanted their light to shine farthest reflected such a bright light at home-while in college in the various activities of the church, that they are worthy of the following place in this history :

A History of the Church of the Brethren
SUNDAY-SCHOOL
With the opening of "The Normal," a Sunday afternoon Bible class that supplied the grown people with Bible study, was started. It remained for Mrs. Eleanor J. Brumbaugh to think of the little ones and one week in the early fall she went out among the homes of the community and secured the promise of eight to come to Sun- day-school the following Sunday morning. On that morning, Sep- tember 23, 1877, the school began with five pupils and one teacher. There was no organization until the following July 28, when "the school was regularly organized with twenty-eight scholars and four teachers." John B. Brumbaugh was superintendent. During '78 the attendance ran as high as fifty-eight and it had use for seven teach- ers. At each session a "penny collection " was taken up for "the missionary cause .*
With the congregation the school moved to Founders Hall and in- cluded Normal students and town members until the Stone Church was dedicated. It elected its own officers but record is not found of such elections. On June 7, 1893, the church took full supervision and elected the following officers: William Beery, superintendent ; John C. Reiff, secretary ; J. Lee Rupert, treasurer ; Mrs. Eleanor J. Brumbaugh, chorister. In 1898 the school reported enrollment, 132; average, 82; raised $53.30 for supplies; 3 conversions. Then in 1904 it reported 130 enrolled; average, 90; 10 teachers; raised $99.07, of which $80.36 was given for missions and charity; 4 conversions ; teachers meetings ; home department.
Upon the dedication of the Stone Church the members and chil- dren from the town met in the new building, while the students of the college continued in the chapel as a part of the adult department and under the name, College Sunday-school. From the beginning the school has been "evergreen"; since 1903 has had the advantages of teacher training class every year. Earliest available record be- gins in 1908 and from that date to 1914, 155 enrolled; then the church had a separate training class during years 1915-'19 and 1923. with a total enrollment of 72; the college had training class 1915-'23 with a total enrollment of 185. In other words, since 1908, 412 have enrolled in teacher training at Huntingdon. The "Truth Seekers" class, organized in February, 1909, was the second men's organized class in the Brotherhood.t The average attendance for 1911, the first year in the Stone Church was 143.
