Excerpt: ... chapter X religious forces This region was settled by Christian people. It is true that there were not a few reckless spirits among the early inhabitants. Those who led wild and irreligious lives; those to whom nothing was sacred and who shrank not from deeds of violence and cruelty. But, as a rule, the men and women who came to these hills and valleys were a Godfearing, home-loving people. A more intelligent, industrious, sincere and faithful class never settled any country. A large proportion of them had been members of the Church before coming here, and, in spite of the privations and perils of pioneer life, remained true to their religious profession. They read their Bibles. They held meetings for prayer. They kept up family worship. They formed themselves into congregations, and the building of their own humble cabins was followed by the building of their schools and churches. Where churches had not yet been erected, services were held in shady groves, "God's first temples," with a pulpit made of rough slabs often called a "tent," and seats made of hewn logs, or in barns, in cabins, in blockhouses or in the fields. The first houses of worship were rude in their architecture and primitive in their arrangements. They were built of logs, with puncheon floor and with seats sometimes of planks, but oftener of hewn logs resting on blocks and with a wide rail for a back.

Download or read book Swarthmore Borough written by Susanna K. Morikawa and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2009 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The borough of Swarthmore, a little over a square mile in area and located in Delaware County, was incorporated in 1893. The impetus for its transition from a rural hamlet into a thriving, broad-based community came from the founding in 1864 of Swarthmore College, a coeducational college founded by members of the Society of Friends (Quakers). Access to quality roads and public transportation encouraged its growth in the late 19th century and 20th century. The 21st century finds Swarthmore the home of one of the best liberal arts colleges in America, ideally situated in suburban Philadelphia while retaining its historic residential character and strong identity.
