a city which shall stand pre-eminent for civic righteousness–first among 
the many delightful cities of  Florida. Beautiful for situation, greatly 
favored in matters of  climate and healthfulness, St. Cloud requires merely 
the impetus which liberal-hearted men alone can give a town in order to 
become one of  the finest cities in the while South. Having easy access to an 
extensive inland waterway reaching from the Atlantic Ocean to the Gulf  
of  Mexico–thru the entire length of  the Peninsula–there is no good reason 
why St. Cloud should not in a few years develop into a magnificent city 
capable of  entertaining the hosts of  Winter tourists who naturally belong 
to such a place.
May this first Christmas at the new town be a season of  enjoyment 
to all, a time for laying the foundation of  strong, enduring friendships, 
friendships which shall make for the upbuilding of  universal brotherhood. 
With Tennyson, let “Each man find his own in all men’s good, And all men 
in noble brotherhood.” This is the Christmas gift which the writer would 
sincerely desire for each and eyery one at St. Cloud. 
 —Ezra J. Stewart, Shaker Colony. 
The Shakers are now supplying their table with fresh fish caught with a 
short trot line–125 feet long and carrying 28 hooks. It is planned to increase 
the length of  the trot line to 400 feet with a capacity of  100 hooks. This 
longer line can be attended to with about the same expense for time and 
labor as a shorter one, with greatly increased fishing possibilities.

From the Editor –
In this issue of  ACSQ we present two original articles. Sandra Soule, 
author of  four monographs on Shaker subjects published by the Couper 
Press, returns to our pages with an in-depth look at a unique body of  
Shaker correspondence. Sister Antoinette Doolittle of  the North Family, 
New Lebanon, carried on an extensive correspondence with Episcopalian 
Reverend George Timlow of  New York City. Soule’s article examines the 
sixteen letters comprising their exchange, as well as the personalities and 
motivations behind this unusual and lengthy epistolary friendship.
 Julieanna Frost of  Siena Heights University, also the author of  a 
monograph and articles published by the Couper Press, returns with a look 
at an obscure Christian Israelite community in Texas. Frost has assembled 
the previously unknown story of  the New House of  Israel, a small group 
of  Jezreelites who emigrated from Michigan to Texas in 1895. Frost’s 
research sheds new light on the Jezreelite diaspora following the dissolution 
of  Michael Mill’s God House commune at Detroit in 1893.
 Finally, our collection keeps growing as we discover new and ever-
stranger byways in America’s religious past. Our “Home Notes” section 
presents an illustrated survey of  a substantial acquisition of  materials from 
the Mazdaznan movement.
 
Happy spring!
