'This reproduction of Stanley Arthur's painting depicts the stirring scene of Woodstock on January 28, 1776, when Rev. Peter Muhlenburg, at the close of a patriotic sermon, threw aside his clerical robe and revealed the uniform of a Continental colonel. His text was from Eccl. 3: 1-8, "There is a time to every purpose under heaven..time of war, and a time of peace." While holding forth his commission in the army he declared the time to fight had come. He then raised the English Virginia Regiment, famous as the German Regiment, and served conspicuously throughout the Revolutionary War.'
