Religious worship was faithfully observed by them every Sunday. Clement Biddle died in 1813. Samuel Wetherill, Jr. , died in 1829. Timothy Matlack, removed from the city, and died in 1829, at Holmesburg, in the looth year of his age. Elizabeth Claypoole, the last survivor of the original mem- bers, died in 1836. The families of the first members ceased to attend Sunday meetings, and John Price Wetherill, who succeeded his father as clerk, after worshipping nearly alone for several years, closed... the meeting for the last time, and meetings for religious worship ceased about 1836.
43 III. The Modern Period.
When the meetings for worship of the Free Quaker Society- came to an end, the Society would almost certainly soon have been disbanded and become extinct, like the similar societies in other parts of the country, had it not been for the wisdom and energy of the clerk, John Price Wetherill.
He recognized that a religious sense of devotion may be as well expressed in an honest life and in charitable works as by formally attending church or meeting at fixed intervals of time, and that, as by the growth of the city and the removal of the members to a distance, it became inconvenient to attend religious meetings, they ought still in some organized and dis- tinct form to work as a charity, thereby recognizing that charity conducted on a proper motive is religion and worship, which Friends have always believed.
