In 1764 the Lutheran congregation at Egypt was first organized, the members having previ- ously been compelled to travel some distance to attend a church service of their own denomina- tion ; then the Reformed and Lutheran congre- gations agreed to build a church, and Peter Steck- el of the Reformed and Christian Saeger of the Lutherans presented to each congregation re- spectively a half-acre of land and the church was built across the line, by provision in a writ- ten agreement "for the united use of the High and Low churches," (meaning the two churches interested). And in that year a "Union Church" was erected. The building was constructed of rough logs; and the pews were made of planks laid on blocks of wood.

In 1785 the second church was built of stone, in dimensions, 40 by 50 feet, with galleries on three sides; on the fourth side there was an ele- vated pulpit, and a large, square altar in front of it.

The accompanying illustration of this church was taken from a drawing made by a brother of Rev. Gobrecht, pastor from 1801 to 1831.

The two congregations, prior to erecting the new building, entered into an agreement, of which the following is a translation :

"This 18th of April, Anno Domini, 1785, we, the members of the Evangelical Reformed and the Evangelical Lutheran congregations, belonging to the parish of Egypt, in Whitehall township, North- ampton county, in the State of Pennsylvania, have bound ourselves and agreed to erect a new stone church, 50 feet long and 40 feet broad, for joint use, and we herewith give to our joint architects, chosen for that purpose, namely, Peter Kohler, Esq., Samuel Saeger, Philip Jacob Schreiber, Adam Zer- fass, Jacob Mickley, and Nicholas Saeger, Sen., full power to place the above-mentioned church upon one of the most suitable spots on our joint church lands. We also bind ourselves and each other to contribute to the requisite and necessary expenses according to our ability, until the said church is built and completed, which we hereby certify to with our own signatures, on the above-mentioned day and date."

The laying of the cornerstone of the new church took place June 13, 1785, at which time sermons were preached by Revs. Blumer and Shellhard, before a large assemblage of people, and a copy of the following resolutions was placed in the cornerstone :

"As we, the Evangelical Lutheran and Reformed congregations in Whitehall township (otherwise called Egypt), have agreed to build a house of God for our common use, therefore have we drawn up the following articles :

The treasurers of the two congregations, Peter Burkhalter, Esq., and Samuel Saeger kept ac- curate and detailed accounts of all receipts and expenditures. An assessment was laid upon each member, according to his means, which amount

he was required to pay. The members of the Reformed congregation were assessed £545, 2 sh., 61/2d .; of the Lutheran £262, 17 sh., 4 d .; paid by instalments.

In 1821, the Lutheran ministers of this dis- trict held a conference in the Egypt church; and in 1839, the East Pennsylvania Classis of the Reformed church convened here.

The third edifice was erected in 1851, a large and attractive brick building, 50 by 65 feet, with a spire and bell. The total cost amounted to $9,252.91, paid by subscriptions of members of both congregations. A new steeple was erected in 1874. Its height is 140 feet; the weight of the bell is 750 pounds; the cost was $2,524.

The church was remodeled in 1874; and again in 1905, at an expense of $5,000.

The area of land owned by the congregation is II acres, 156 perches.

There are two cemeteries connected with this church, one adjoining the building, and the other several hundred feet to the east.

Organists and Teachers .- The first teacher, or "Vorsinger," was Conrad Schneider. When he began his service at Egypt is not known. He was no organist and the congregations having purchased an organ, he was compelled to resign his position. He was succeeded by Jacob Strein in 1786, who served 18 years. He was a com- petent man and very good in keeping records and accounts. In 1804 he resigned and moved to Lancaster. His successor was Henry Hempsing, who came from Hamburg, Berks Co., Pa., and remained until 1810. He was succeeded by Adam Gilbert; Peter Ruch, Daniel Schreiber, and John Neuhart having gone to Rehrersberg to bring his family to Egypt. It took three days and each

was paid one pound and ten shillings for the service rendered. Gilbert remained until 1822. His successors were: Theodore Storb, 1822-24; Johann Daniel Eisenbrown, 1824-29; Christian Schick, 1829-36; John Berndt, 1836-46; Francis G. Berndt, 1846-87; Robert A. Benner, 1887- 1901; William H. Snyder, 1902-14; Laurence Acker, 1914 -.

As long as the organist was also teacher, he received 331/2 cents a month for every child. After the free school system was introduced, he was paid by the school directors. As organist he had to collect his own salary, and for every funeral he served he could ask 75 cents. After the year 1900, the organist received a fixed sal- ary and was no longer compelled to collect it. "Father" Berndt (as Francis was familiary called), was the last organist who also taught the school. He was highly respected not only in Egypt church, but in the whole community. He took a prominent part in the educational matters of the county and even of the state. He assisted in the preparation of many young men who after- wards entered college and became useful and honored in their several callings. Egypt and vicinity can perhaps point to as many young men and women educated for the professions as any community of its size in the state, and a great deal of the influence exerted can be attributed to Father Berndt. He was also a good organist and teacher of music. His instruction and the rules and principles instilled by him are to be seen and felt in the Egypt church to this day. He was also of great help to the pastors in their work. After he retired from the position so long and so faithfully occupied by him, he lived near the church with his son-in-law, Hiram Ruch and wife Maria. He still took an active part in the work of the church and Missionary Society, was never away from his accustomed place in church and was liberal even beyond his ability. Like the name Mendsen, the name Berndt will con- tinue to live and be honored for generations to come. On March 12, 1891, he quietly fell asleep, aged 72 years, 6 months, and 13 days, and was buried March 17th. A large concourse of people gathered at the old church, including many clergymen from the county, and from a distance.

School Houses .- There was a school house before the first church of 1764, as was customary in those early days. The teachers would read printed sermons in the school house when the pastor could not be present or the congregation was without a regular pastor. In 1787, a school house was erected and Philip Jacob Schreiber and Adam Zerfass were the respective treasurers. Members of the Reformed congregation contrib-

uted 71 pounds, 10 shillings, and 8 pence, and those of the Lutheran congregation contributed 28 pounds, 6 shillings, and 2 pence towards its erection ($267). This account was audited on August 9, 1801, and everything found correct. The school house was built of logs, two stories high; and it was used until 1829. In the winter of 1829-30, it took fire and was totally destroyed. A new stone school house was erected in its place, costing $1,537.54. It is still in good condition, occupied by the organist and his family.

In this building the public school was held un- til 1871, when the directors of Whitehall town- ship built a new school house in Egypt. Father Berndt continued to teach in the new school house until 1883. The pastors of the congrega- tion were accustomed to have their catechetical instructions in the old school house, and here the children were baptized. It was the meeting place for business transacted by the congregations or the church councils. In unpleasant weather the members gathered there before the services began in the church; and, as is still the custom, communicants go there to be recorded for the communion.

The first English school in the township was here. "The English School Society," of Egypt, was organized in 1807, and had for its object the instruction in English. It continued its work until 1857. The free school system began in 1834.

Sunday school .- The Sunday school of Egypt church was begun in 1844, and held its sessions in the school house until 1847, when it was dis- continued. William Leisenring, of Cementon, who lived in Egypt for some years, was the first superintendent. In 1894, in the fall of the year, the Sunday-school celebrated its fiftieth anni- versary ; the church was appropriately decorated, and neighboring Sunday schools were represent- ed. Addresses were made by the two pastors. The venerable William Leisenring also made a very interesting address; also Edwin Mickley, of Mickley's, Pa., who was a pupil of this Sun- day school fifty years ago. Augustus Kelchner, Esq., a scholar fifty years ago, was present.

The reason why the Sunday school did not have a continuous life after 1847, was because Sunday schools were not yet generally introduced in that neighborhood; also because the Lutheran pastor, Rev. F. W. Mendsen, showed opposition to the movement. He was sincere and con- scientious in his opposition and won many to his views. He held to the old custom of "Kinder- lehre." Every month, on Sunday mornings be- fore the regular service began, he gave religious instructions to the children of the church.

No school was held in the church of 1785 but

when the present church was erected, a basement was provided for such a purpose. Old pupils said that the school was held only during the summer months and discontinued during the winter. Edward Kohler, Esq., was one of those who revived the school and prepared a constitu- tion. With him was associated Charles Troxel. In 1867 Reuben Steckel was the superintendent but how long we do not know. Father Berndt took an interest in the school and he and his daughter Maria worked energetically for it. In 1884, Revs. A. J. L. Breinig and Alfred Lo-

The Organs .- The first organ was purchased in 1786, and it was this organ that gave the name "Organ Church" to the Egypt church. It was erected by Mr. Dannenberg, of Lititz, Pa. The Reformed congregation contributed 71 pounds, 8 shillings, and 2 pence, and the Lutherans, 28 pounds, 15 shillings, and 4 pence. Outsiders con- tributed 22 pounds, 16 shillings, and I pence. The organ cost 145 pounds or $386.67. Dannen- berg's son received three pounds-"das gewoehn- liche trinkgeld." Martin Mickley and Adam Troxell each received 13 shillings and 6 pence

bach became superintendents. In 1888, Rev. O. S. Scheirer was the Lutheran and Mr. Lewis Kohler the Reformed superintendent. Since then the superintendents were David Schneck, A. M. Laub, Eugene Laub, Wilson H. Schneck, Robert A. Benner, William Kern, Francis Lind- aman, Phaon Fatzinger, Lewis Breinig, Lewis Kohler, Preston Breinig, and Milton Steckel. On account of the unsanitary condition of the base- ment the sessions were held in the auditorium until the repairs of 1906 were made, then they were resumed in the basement.

"zehrgeld," for bringing the organ from Lititz. Peter Kohler received 2 pounds and 2 shill- ings for boarding and lodging the two Dannen- bergs during their work in placing the organ. With other incidental expenses the whole cost of this organ was 154 pounds, 2 shillings, and 9 pence, or $411.04. With several repairings, it served the congregations for eighty-four years.

In 1870 the present organ was erected by Charles Hanzelman, of Allentown, at a cost of $2,500. It has rendered good service and is still in good condition. On March 22, 1869, a meet-

ing was held to decide whether the old organ should be repaired or a new one purchased. The vote stood 42 for remodeling and 38 for a new organ. As the vote was not satisfactory a second election was held on August 22, 1869, and re- sulted in 66 votes for and 20 against a new organ. A committee was at once appointed to procure the new organ and on September 25th it was dedicated.

MICKLEY'S CHURCH .- Mickley's church in this township, was organized as a Union church

On Reformed side: Elders, David Biery, Peter Roth; deacons, Reuben Schreiber, Jacob Seipel, Henry Schadt, Peter Butz; trustee, John Schadt; and presiding officer, Charles Troxell.

Thomas Butz was elected treasurer for both congregations, and served until after the dedica- tion of the new church, when David Eberhard succeeded him, and served until his death, Aug. 21, 1869; Nathan Eberhard succeeded him, and served until 1899, when Tilghman Helfrich was elected.

(Lutheran and Reformed), on April 1, 1849. After its organization, the following were se- lected as the first church officers:

On Lutheran side: Elders, Solomon Kem- merer, Reuben Paul; deacons, Nathan Eberhard, David Gross, Jesse Reichard, Thomas Paul ; trustee, George Kemmerer ; and presiding officer, John Sheirer.

A building committee was also appointed, con- sisting of Jacob Mickley, Peter Miller, Peter Mickley, and David Eberhard, and steps taken towards erecting a church building. The corner- stone was laid May 27, 1849, and the dedica- tion took place November 17th and 18th. The land on which the church building stands, as well as that used for the old burial ground, and the

adjoining woodland, were donated by Daniel Roth, David Biery, and Joseph Biery. No reg- ular pastors were called until 1850.

In 1869, the building was repaired at a cost of $5,000, and re-dedication services were held November 28th.

In 1881 a superior, ornate steeple was added, with an elevation of 139 feet; and a fine-toned bell, weighing 1,800 pounds, was placed in it, the gift of Thomas F. Butz, Eliza A. Troxel, and Ellenora L. S. Weaver. In 1882, a pipe organ with eighteen stops, was presented to the church by George H. Stem and family of Steniton.

and they conducted religious services in various places of the town for twelve years until 1866 when the congregation took steps to establish an edifice for themselves on three lots of ground donated by the Iron Company. The corner stone was laid Aug. 11, 1867, and the church was dedicated with appropriate services on Sept. 26, 1869. The minister who served these devoted people for fifteen years, which resulted finally in the establishment of this church, was Rev. Cornelius Earle of Catasauqua; then Rev. James A. Little was chosen as pastor and he has continued his faithful services to the present time, a continuous period of forty-four years, in which he was aided and encouraged by the devotions of his wife. . George Williams was a Sunday school teacher and superintendent for forty continuous

years. In November, 1913, the membership of the church was 126; of the Sunday-school, 232.

Samuel Thomas was an active member of the vestry from the beginning of the church until he died in 1909, a continuous period for upwards of fifty years.

The congregation was regularly incorporated by the Court of Common Pleas of Lehigh county on Nov. 8, 1855, and the trustees named in the charter were some of its most prominent members: Samuel Thoma- David Thomas, Walter W. Walters, Samuel Kinsey, Charles D. Fuller, and Jacob Mickley, Jr.

The parsonage was erected in 1884. The previous parsonage was on the opposite corner from the church.

The slender and attractive steeple has an elevation of 131 feet; and its base is 600 feet above the level of the sea.

ST. PAUL'S CHURCH .- A one-story brick building, 30 by 50 feet, with tower and bell, was erected in 1884 as a "Union Church" at Cementon by members of the Lutheran and Re- formed denominations who had been connected with the Egypt Church till then, and there they have conducted religious services on alternate Sundays until the present time, the respective pastors being the same as at the Egypt church. The building committee was S. Kemmerer, J. M. Laub, J. H. Stofflet, and B. Bartholomew. The lot was donated to the congregations by Maria Leisenring, a daughter of Peter Leisenring.

FERNDALE PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH was built in 1871, through the encouragement of David Thomas, who gave the members an old frame barn, twenty-four feet square, which was re-mod- eled and comfortably furnished for religious pur- poses ; and at the same time a Sunday school was instituted with Edward Edwards as superin- tendent. It was dedicated June 11, 1871, and an organization was effected with twelve mem- bers, of whom Edward Edwards, and Joseph Davis were selected as the first elders.

In 1873 the building was enlarged. In 1884 the congregation had 80 members, the Sunday school, 200.

In 1890 an attractive brick edifice was erected on the northwest corner of Front and Franklin streets and appropriately furnished and here serv- ices have since been conducted. The pastors, Revs. C. Earle, D. Griffith, and J. A. Little of that vicinity were active in its establishment. Rev. J. F. Pollock has served the congregation since 1909, and he has also acted as superinten- dent of the Sunday school. The membership of the church is 30; of the Sunday school, 100.

FULLERTON UNION CHURCH .- For a num- ber of years from 1875, the citizens of Fuller-

ton conducted a Sunday school known as the Jordan Union Sunday school in the old stone school house known as Sterner's. A desire for a separate Sunday school building was soon mani- fested and the Fullerton Chapel Association was organized and a chapel erected. The first serv- ices held in the building were for Christmas, 1886. The trustees of the association at the time of the erection of the chapel were Henry Kurtz, T. F. Diefenderfer, and T. M. Snyder.

In 1889 a new organ was purchased; the steeple erected and an 800-pound bell installed. The services were conducted by the pastors of the Reformed and Lutheran congregations at Mickley's and Catasauqua.

Rev. Thomas H. Krick became the pastor of the Coplay charge, to which Fullerton belonged by action of Lehigh Classis in August, 1901. In June, 1902, a Reformed congregation was or- ganized with 126 members. The first officers of the congregation were: Elders, E. E. Diefen- derfer, Matthew King; deacons, John A. Ben- ner, William Newhart, Jonas Diefenderfer, and R. H. Hartman; Trustee, F. G. Kurtz. Rev. Thomas H. Krick has been the pastor since the organization of the congregation.

On Aug. 7, 1902, a Lutheran congregation was organized with 144 members and it was re- ceived into the Lutheran Ministerium of Penn- sylvania in February, 1903. The following per- sons constituted the first Consistory: Elders, W. H. Krone and James W. Yost ; Deacons, Charles P. Marshall, Milton A. Faust, John A. Storm, and Oscar E. Scheirer; Trustees, Edwin J. Smith and Michael Waverick.

The pastors have been:

J. A. Lambert, 1902-03 J. H. Raker, 1907-12 J. W. Mattern, 1903-07 J. W. Koch, 1912-

U. E. CHURCH .- About 1896 twenty-eight members of the United Evangelical denomina- tion, from the vicinity of Egypt for several miles, put up a small frame church in the upper portion of Egypt, and religious worship has been conducted there since at irregular periods. Re- vival meetings were held here during November, 1913.

SCHOOLS .- The first school in the township was conducted in connection with the Egypt church and the education of the children was carried on there by its teachers until 1798, when a one-story stone building was erected at Mick- ley's, two and a half miles south of Egypt, and this was occupied until the township accepted the common school system in 1844. This was then replaced by a larger stone building which was used until 1873 when it was converted into a dwelling. At that time a double brick building with a spire and bell was erected at East Hoken-

dauqua for school purposes, situated about half a mile from Mickley's, and it was attended by 90 pupils.

The next school building was put up in 1809 along the Jordan creek at Newhard's Bridge, sit- uated five miles southeast of Egypt. It was built of stone and is still standing. It was occupied as a school until 1856, when another stone school- house was erected about half a mile distant, near "Clapboard-Town," which was in use until 1879, when a brick building was put up near by in its place. In 1884, the pupils in attendance num- bered 40.
