Described as a symbol of 'religious freedom,' the Welsh Tract Primitive Baptist Church south of Newark at the foot of Iron Hill celebrated the 250th anniversary of its founding December 9, 1951.

'As we come together to celebrate,' said Elder David V. Spangler of Annapolis, Md., who conducts aervices on the second Sunday of each month, 'we are wonderfully blessed; we have religious freedom-the privilege to worship God according to the dictates of our conscience.'
