New York. Hidden on n lltllo Now
Jersey farm, a, community of sixty
parsons, ono-hnlf of them children,
nro trying to vltallzo n complsto ro
action against money groad, hypoc
risy, and tlio present-day Christian
.church nnd to keep it allvo by ro
AHifous hysteria.
'v They depend on "faith" (I. j
prayer) for food, clothing, and tho
bftro necessities of life.
They liavo followed tho Injunction
of Josns to rtoll tholr goods, glvo tho
proceeds to tho poor, nnd follow Him.
Medicines nnd physicians aro for
bidden, nnd their only treatment for
dlsoaso consists of prayor and anoint
ing tho body with oil,
Oniehils of tho slate of Now Jersey
say that if any ono dies aftor such
treatment thoso concorncd nro guilty
of criminal nogllgcnce nnd indictablo
for manslaughter.
Tho community is managed on tho
cooperative plan, no ono rccolvlng
wages for work, nnd all supplies go
ing Into n common fund, tho mon and
women sharing tho work on nn equal
basis.
Converts arc kept In a high stnto of
"WIlgldiiB excitement by a conglomern.
JWoh of Ulbllcal toxt, sophistry, and
slang, nnd talk of modern saints and
miracles.
Scoklng to live according to Bibli
cal Injiincllon, they work themselves
into a frenzy, march, dnnco, und leap
high In tho air, honco their name,
Holy Jumpers,
A member of tho community has al
ready been taken to tho Somerset
County Insnno Asylum sulToring from
religious mania.
What the Jumpers Are Like.
Sueh, In brief. Is a summary of tho
lives of tho Holy Jumpers on their
farm near Weston, a station on tho
Ilendlng railway five miles southwest
of Hound Drunk. Attontlon was nt
traded to them by a report that thoy
aro to Invade Now York in tho man
ner of "Klljah" Dowlo and his 7Jon
lsts. What manner of pcoplo uro theso
who would till Prondwoy with their
crlos and wild dnncos? Tho Question
led, to a visit to Weston.

tho Jumpers' place. Suio ns I'm hero,
tlmr was a Holy Jumper stnndln' a-top
their haystack, bis hands up in tho

Guess ho was praying about tho hay.

"Theso Jumpers seem to bo de
cent enough, though," tho farmer add
ed, "only thoy keep mostly to them
selves." Thus primed, tho roportor wnlkod
down tho Delaware nnd Harltau canal
rto tho Holy Jumpors' farm to meet
bne of tho most curious experiences
to bo found nooY Now York.
Reporter Unconvinced.
Ho went to scoff; ho could not stay
to pray. Tho hymns, sophistry, nnd
tho plight of 30 llttlo children woro
too uncanny; his senna of humor too
acute. Yclf ns ho loft, ono question
was burning Jn his mind: Aro thoso
staple, possibly misguided pcoplo
solving tho great social question of
cooperation by tho moro forco of
their religious zeal, whoro others havo
failed, especially In tho famdus Brook
Farm experiment, by an excoss of the

gnrmonts of (ho "workers" blue
shirts nnd brecohes, Tho "sister" who
iccolvcd tho roportor woro a dress of'
similar material.
In tho bare reception room ono
sound predominated over all othors.
Outsldo woro sunshine and tho song
of life tho click of tho windmill,
locusts, nnd bees buzzing In a corn
field, thti chatter of children, tho
sound of hammers as tho workers
raised a big tent for tho camp meet
ing. Instdo was the sound of hymns
pounded out on a hard-toned piano,
persistently, monotonously, endlessly
until tho visitor thought of tho most
maddening in tho list of ancient tor
tures tho stendy drip of water on a
man or woman's lioad.
"You hnvo been very successful
herel" began tho roportor.
"Tho Lord's blcsdlng has been upon
us." Tho "sister" answered absently,
as if In n dream or listening to tho
torturing hymns.
Home Is Gift of Believer.
"You own this placo?"
"Yes. It was given to us about two
years ago by Mrs. Qarrctsou Mrs. W.
P. Gnrrctson. Sho saw tho truo light
tho light of tho Iord in faith sho and
her son nnd her two daughters. Wo
liavo been hero about a year and a
half. Thoro aro 80 acrcB of land and
HO grown pcoplo, somo of thorn mar
ried but mostly young men and
women, nnd about as many moro chil
dren. They hnvo given tip all their
worldly goods and followed Him."
"You must havo plenty of money,
thun?"
"Oh, no," with u smile. "Pcoplo with
worldly goods aro not eager to givo
them up and follow tho Lord."
Gradually moro facts camo out after
persistent questioning. Six years ago,
Mrs. Alma White, wlfo of a Methodist
picnchor In Denver, was Inspired to
preach on her own account. Tho con
ference of tho Methodist church
would not make hor a full fledged
minister. Hut "tho Lord blosscd hor
In singing," so sho started her own
Church. Sho calls It tho- Pcntocostnl
Union, hor neighbors, "Tho Pillnr of
Klro"; tho public, tho Holy Jumpers.
Tho "sistor" who was talking called
It "tho holiness movement tho Moth
odiBt church ns it was In tho days of
Wesley, before pcoplo thought only
of worldly things nnd tho ;ntplstcrs
of preaching and prayer for wngo."
Mrs. WJUto Is utill tho head tho
Mrs. Hddy, tho Mrs. Plpor of tho

Holy Jumpors hnvo a Hlblo school and

"What uro tho peculiar corcmonlos

"Oh, yes," tho girl roplled. "Aro wo
not told in tho Hiblo how David

"You havo harps, too?''
"Wo play on autoharps. Bui mobt

why thoy call us Jumpors."
Theso werq tho words of tho re
ligionist, tho sontlmontallst. On tho
other hand, strangely bald and
strangely compounded of Scilptural
phrase and modern sophistry Is tho
official explanation of tho Jumping
habit. Horo it is:

Are Early at Devotions.
Tho "Jumpers" get up In tho morn
ing at C o'clock nnd pray till break
fast at 0. They pray singly or together,
from then till night, in tho fields, on
tho shady banks of tho neighboring
brook, In tho slieuco of tholr
chambers. They hold services threo
times Sundays, with moro prayers,
songs, Jumping, and "testimonies."
When a missionary sots out to preach,
thoy gnthcr and pray for him. They

I'atorson ponnllesn, but when they
prayed a strangor emtio up to the
traveler and gavo him $2. Tho Jump
ers cljto numerous ensos In which they
hnvo "prayed themselves Into" siloes,
uniforms nnd food with no trouble nt
all.
"Last week," to quote Brldwcll, "wo
had no money with which to pur
chaso certain supplies and moot somo
payments, but tho Lord sent us In a
sutllclcnt sum, nnd" litis been sending
ns in smaller amounts from day to
day."

Now Yoik "tho purplo woman of
Babylon" will not hear their prayers
for tho preoent. They havo no immedl
nto plana for romlng horo as "Elijah"
Dowlo did. Their missionaries, how
ever, havo already preached hero as
thoy havo In I'atorson, Newark, Now
Brunswick, Somervlllo, Bound Brook,
and Philadelphia.
Whop a person Is HI they pour oil
on his or her body nnd pray that is
all, they say. Tho body is anointed be
cause people mentioned in tho BIblo
did it. Tholr idea of "healing" by
prayer is mndo clear by this enso re
ported by Brldwell. Ho says:
The other day ono of our winters unwit
tingly swallowed u pleco of broken glasH,
and another pleco lodged In her throat.
Her condition becaiuo qulto Rerlous, nnd
wo nw nt onco that God would hnvo to
undertake, A prayer meeting was called,
In which a number of pcrsdiis importuned
tho Lord for her Immediuto relief, Wlillo
uo woro nssemblod tho victory camo; our
slater began to prnlso tho Lord and
claimed deliverance. Suddenly sho Btnrt
ed tn ohouting uproariously und, turning
about, wo saw a piece or gl.ns In her
hand that hud beon dislodged from hor
tliiont She had endeavored n number of
times before to got It out without avail.
Since then sho has beon all right, and
testifies that a mtraclo was wrought In
her behalf.
Conflict with State's Laws.
Theso methods qf treating dlscaso
nro In direct conflict with tho laws of
Now JorSoy. When a penon dies In
Weston tho fact must bo reported to
Dr. William C. Long of Somervllle,
county physician of Somersot county,
In which tho Bottlemont Is located. A
falluro to do bo is punlshablo with a
ilno of $500. The county physician
must lnvostlgato tho causo of death,
and if ho finds it was duo to neglect,
nbuso, or vlolenco, ho rotors tho caso
to ono of tho coroners of tho county.
At tho ofllco of tho prosecuting at
torney of Somorset county it was Bald
that If a person should dio without
medical attondauco aud nftor no other
treatment than tho pouring of oil and
prayor the poisons Involved could he
hold for cilmlnql negllgenco nnd nn
Indictment for manslaughter would
piobably follow.
Tho flrBt death at Zareplmth of
which County Physician 'Long has
knnwledgo occurred last February. A
man Jn tho community fell from tlio
roof of a barn and was fatally In
Jural. A doctor was hastily summon
ed from Bound Brook, but could not
savo his life. Tho body was burled on
tho farm the first In a plot of
ground sot asldo by tho Jumpers for
their graveyard. No other deaths had
been reported from Zareplmth, Dr.
Long said.
In Juno lust, when ono of tho
