A Sketch of the Mennonite Settlement in Canada. * By Dr. A. Eby. About the year 1683 the first Mennonite emigrants arrived and settled themselves in the vicinity of Philadel- phia, and called the place Germantown. They came from Crefeld on the Rhine. In the year 1709 a number of Swiss Mennonites emigrated to Pennsylvania and settled in Chester, now Lancaster, County, and others soon followed. As they lived in peace and enjoyed liberty of conscience, they understood well how to value these bless...ings, which they enjoyed under the English Crown. So that in the commencement of the opposition to the English Government on the part of their fellow-citizens they could not sanction such movements, and they were in danger of losing the liberty which they enjoyed heretofore, and consequently the privilege to serve God according to the dictates of their own con- science. As they believed it to be contrary to the doc- trine of Christ to take up the sword against their neigh- bors, neither could they sanction the doings or actions of their fellow-citizens.
