The Kloster was founded by Johann Conrad Beissel, in 1728, at Ephrata, a little German town about 18 miles from Reading, Pa., in the Valley of Cocalico, Lancaster County. In less than a decade after its founding it became a semi-monastic community, later it developed into a religious, educational, commercial and industrial settlement, and set up the third printing press in the colony. This press was the first to print English and German type in Colonial Pennsylvania. The brothers and sisters of the Kloster were celibates. Their religion as expounded by the mystic founder resembles the beliefs of the Seventh Day Baptists. The scenes and incidents supposed to have occurred in the early history of the settlement are interwoven in a romance. Broughton, Leonard Gaston, D.D. The soulwinning church, N.
