Gerninn, and at 7 p. m. in English. 4 An offeriug for missions will be tak- 3 en. ant preacher.) I sent him thither sev eral times, and through my ratner-in-law, Conrad Weiser, of Berks County, let a small tract of land (50 acres.) as a property for church purposes.

Upon this they were to erect a leg schoolhouse or church. If they should in time become strong, so that they could support a school teacher, then the children should receive some help. The school teacbershould resd the Scriptures on Sundays and I woMld visit them once or several times every year. 'After a majority of them had united and agreed upon a fair proposition. they began to erect a leg church.

Iu the mean time the Moravians from Bethlehem were industrious in drawing some of these people unto themselves, most of whom were still in the possession of bodily sustenance. 'These Moravians proclaimed that they were then genuine Lutherans, and they also administered the sacrament after the manner of the Lutherans, and sent a brother member with his family to thoBe whom they had won over, for thepurpose of keeping school. 'The other party seeing this, they became angry and used abusive language, and the third party, on this account, withdrew. Soon after they had begun to erect a church, the operations stopped, and the building without a roof stands to this day. The Moravians thought that they would and could finish the building with the understanding that it should be a brotherly church; but this I did not agree to, because the ground was still in my possession, and I hrd hones that the poor Lutherans would in time be able to help themselves.

'But then I did not see any possibility how such a spoiled, heap could be improved until the Lord should give me ways' and. means as yet unknown. During my recent visit there, I myself preached, baptized several children and urged my former members to read the Scriptures and pray with diligence. And I administered tbe sacrament unto two old persons, at their earnest request. Their children had joined" the Moravians and this Caused them to sorrow secretly and receive the sacrament with the deepest humiliation; and' the; promised through Jesus Christ to remain faithful in life, sorrow and detth." "The first children baptized were the children of John Bely, Frank (Bailey.) Casper Longenberger, Peter Driers.

Michael Brobst, Frederick Reichelsdorfer, John Wesncr and George Kistler. "Among the first persons confirmed were the following: In 1756, George Kistler, George Kunkel, Conrad Bill-man, Fr. -Blllig, M-aria D. Fosselman; In 1757, George Fr. Braucher, George Brobst, Anna M.

"A burying ground is connected with this church. "The first gravestone bears the date of 1760, snd the second in 1762. The whole tract is still owned by the congregation, excepting one and a half acres, sold off to an adjoining owner of property. "Besides the church record, the pastor (Schumacher) kpt a private record with great care and exactness, in which he entered the baptisms confirmations, with names, and this is now with the documents of the church. It corr.ains the names of 1208 children baptized from 1754 till 1774 and their parents and the names of 500 persons who were confirmed and admitted to membership.

Among these names are many of the families who still reside In the vicinity and continue their connection with the church. "From 1755 to 1769 the congregations were served by the Rev. Daniel Schumacher, a Lutheran minister-, who then lived at Weissenberg. between three and four miles from Allemaengel, and in that time also served fifteen or sixteen other congregations in Berks and Northampton Counties, those in Berks having been Maxatawny, (near Kutztown,) Windsor, Greenwich, Alsace, Schwartz wald, 'Oley beyond the Blue Mountains (Zionsville.) and Summer Hill, (North-kill.) "In 1769 he withdrew from this church, moved a small distance away, and took with him a considerable number of his friends, where in 1770-1771 a new 'Allemaengel Kirche' ws erected, formerly -called Bethel Church, also 'the White Church. "In the beginning, and till 1808, the congregation was entirely Lutheran, excepting tbe privilege given to members of the Reformed denomination worship In the church occasionally.

Then the building of a new church encouraged, conjointly by Luther-an and Reformed members, with the understanding that the latter should enjoy equal privileges in the building, for church and school purposes and in the land for burying. The cornerstone was laid on the 7th of May, 1812, upon which occasion the Luther-ans wfre represented by the Revs. Knoske, H. Geissenhainer and Wel-and, and the Reformed by Revs Herv-ry Diegenbach and Jacob Dieffenbach. "The dedication of the new church took place on the 29 and 30 of May, 1814.

Rev. Knoske and J. Ilein officiated for the Lutheran members, and Revs. Henry Dieffenbach and Carl Herman for the Reformed. "The church of 1814 is still standing Ln a good state of preservation, and religious services are conducted there regularly and successfully.

A scbooi w-as conducted for many years in connection with the church." C. E. of Bethany Church Organizes." The K. L.C. of Bethany United Evengelical church met last evening in the church organized for the next six months by electing these officers: President.

To-day's, program was of a high order. The classes organized and are at wcrk under their respective, leaders. The quiet hour was of unusual interest. Mr. Doughty's talk was very in- structive as well as deeply spiritual.

He took the bcok. of "Acts of Apostles" as the basis of hi? talk. He emphasized four points: First, it traces tbe expansion of the church in Jerusalem to a world pawer; second, the heroism of the central figures; third, the leadership cf the holy tpir-it; (rocogndzed 60 -times in the book.) fourth, the Lite of Prayer, (mentioned 29 time3 in the book). Three fundamental convictions regarding the life of prayer. (Discovery, Devotion and Ministry.

Thursday morning, the second or Devotion, was the subject. Friday morning, Ministry was the subject The Round Table representing the Missionary Committee of Ifce local Church was intensely interesting and profitable under the leadership of Chairman Ivmpe.

Lesson I. Isaiuhfs prophecy con, cerning Sennacherib (Isa. xxxvil. 14-3S. Golden Text, Ps.

xlvl. 1. "God Is our refuge and strength, a very present help In trouble." Sennacherib is In the line of Cain and Pburaob antf all eueroies of God and His people to be consummated in the blaspheming antichrist of the last days, back of whom and through whom la always seen the devil. The devotion of Hezelciah to the living and true God was too much for the. great adversary, and so he stirred up the king of Assyria against Hezeliiah.

But see how two men who knew God prevailed in prayer. Lesson II. Tbe sufferlug servant of Jehovah (Isa. lii. 3.

to liil. 12). Golden Test. isa. 6.

"The Lord hath laid on Him the iniquity of us all." We find ibi record right ln the midst ofv the last part of Isaiah, the middle chapter of tbe midklle section, and the middle Terse Is liil. 5. which gives us the heart of all Scripture. If with His' stripes we have beeai healed, then as His redeemed ones standing "against tbe world, tbe flesh and the devil, we must 'be content to suffer with Him and count It a great privilege (Phil. 1, 29; I Pet.

By comparing II Kings xxl with our lesson chapter we see how fearful tbe record is. It looks na if he did the very worst that he could do. The conversion of such a wicked man should greatly encourage parents who have ungodly children, for God is full of mercy. IV Joslah's devotion to God (II Chron. ill, 4, 1-13).

Golden xil. "Remember now thy Creator In the days of thy youth." This boy king probably kuew only of his father's zeal for God. and may have been thus inspired with similar When be was only sixteen he began to seek God earnestly, and when he was twenty he purged the land from and did that which the man of God said 300 years before that he would do (I Kings xiii. II Kngs xxlii, 1G). When he was twenty-sir be begun to repair the bouse of the Lord his God.

Lessox V. The finding of the book of the law (11 Chron. xxxiv. 14-33). Golden Text.

Ps. cxix. 11, "Thy word have I hid in my heart that 1 might not sin against Tbee." As he went on in bis good work, God gave him more light by causing the book of the law to be found. This was a fulfillment of tbe word, "Then shall we know If we follow on to know the Lord" (Hos. vi, 3).

If we act up to tbe light we bare, God will in some way send us more. Tbe Lord knew that Joslah would inquire Into this nod be obedient' and humble himself before God. Lessot VI. Jeremiah tried and acquitted (Jer. xxvi.

7-19). Golden Text, rs. xxvii. 1. "The Lord Is my light and my salvation, whom shall I fonr?" It seems strange that priests and prophets of the Lord should want to kill a man because he spoke the words, of the Lord, simply because tbe message did not suit them, but there were In those days, nnd there ar today, professed messengers of the Lord whom lie never pent, prophet of tbe deceit of their own heart speaking lies ln Ills name (Jer.

It was not the prophet's book, but tbe Lord's book, which the king cut up and burned ln the fire, but the book was written again immediately In a larger edition, and the Lord attended to Jebolaklm. There are many now who seern to have no fear of God while professing to he His messengers and who nth-lessly set aside large portions of Scripture, calling them myths' and fables. The Lord 'will see to them, and Ps.

Golden Text, Matt 11, "Blessed re when man shall revile you and persecute yon and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely for My sake." He Is still bated and persecuted for the truth' sake, even as many were before Him, aud are now and will be till the kingdom comes (John xv, 1S-21; xvl. 1-3).

It is worthy of note that one hun jdred years after the organization of iue eaurcn, mat a descendant of some of its founders, the Reverend Samuel Kistler "Brobst, should deliver the centennial sermon in 1871.

He was a great grandson of Philip Brob.it, whose sons, Valentine, Martin and Michael, as well as George Kistler, his maternal great-grandfather, were among the founders of this Lutheran congregation. The children of these pioneer families were among the first to be baptized and confirmed by the Rev. Henry Melehi jr Muhlenberg. The Rev.

Brobst became instrumental in the establishment of the Muhlenberg College at Allentown, and the Lutheran Theological Seminary, at Philadelphia, as well a3 the Emigrant House in New York City. He likewise was noted'-ns a writer and publisher of church literature of world wide circulation.

Society ccetj iMcsulay erenint at the tome As many of the Lutheran Churches in this section will on Sept. 10 celebrate the 20Oth anniversary of the birth of Henry JVIelchior Muhlenbeig after whom Muhlenberg College is named, the following contribution will be of interest. Dr. Muhlenberg donated 4 the land upon which Jerusalem Church in Albany Township is built. There Rev.

Samuel Kistler Brobst, late of this city, received his early religious training and. herewith is the sermon preacher by him at Jerusalem Church when the eongegation celebrated its hunderdth anniversary in 1871. The section of county about tho Blue Mountains, known as Allemacn-gel, was the frontier. But notwithstanding its remoteness from the stronger settlements to the south, the settlers displayed commendable energy towards establishing a church for religious worship. The devotion of the Patriarch, the Rev.

Henry Mel-chior-Muhlenberg, carried him into that wild region of territory, to give encouragement and aomfort to those pioneers in the great work of possessing and improving this new country, and of building up and carrying onward the development of the Lutheran Church in Pennsylvania. Certain of his church members and moved thither, between 1735 and 1745, from Xew Hanover, in Philadelphia, (now Montgomery) County, -Rev. Dr. Henry M. Muhlenberg naturally followed them to look after their spiritual welfare.

In 1746, April 11.) he took in this district a tract of land containing fif-tjr-aces, and about that time a church was erected thereon. This was first known as "Allemaengel Church." afterward named "New, Jerusalem." In 1770, Muhlenberg granted this land to Philip Stannbach, Jacob Gortner ind Valentine Brobst, of Albanv Township, in Eks County, and Matthias Brobst and George Kistler, of Lynn Township, in Northampton, (now Lehigh) County, trustees in trust snd for the use of the "German Lutheran Congregation of Albany Township." (Deed recorded in Recorder's office, Reading in D. B. Tol. P.

321-322.) The church is situated near 'the eastern line of the township, a short distance above Wessnersville. First known as the "Allemaengel Kurche" and later as the "Albany Church." It has locally been designated as the "Red Church" on account of its roof having been painted that color. Its offspring, the church at Wessnersville, about the same time was designated the "White Church," a title which still clings to it. A centennial celebration was held at Jerusalem Church on Saturday and Sunday, the 2nd and 3rd days of September, 1871. The building was handsomely decorated with evergreens and flowers.

The entire including many persons from distant parts who had been confirmed in this church, assembled to participate in the Various Lutheran preachers officiated here from 1770 to 1777, according to the hand-writing in church record, their names not having been mentioned. From 1777, for three years, the Rev. Friedrich Millex acted as pastor, and subsequently until 1810, the 'Daniel Lehman. After Lehman's death. Rev.

John Knoske came from Orwigsburg (now in Schuylkill County,) and served this church in connection with others situated in the vicinity extending to Kutztown, for 12 years, till the close of 1S23. From 1824 until 1831 there were the Revs. Dorlng, Wartman and Pfatz, and in 1831 Rev. J. Roeller began to preach and continued faithfully for 26 years.

His successors have been Revs. Leopold, S. S. Klein, L. Zube D.

Trexler and H. S. Fegeley. The Reformed pastors since 1812 have been Revs. Henry Dieffenbach, J.

Zulich and A. J. Heman, the, latter being in chage since 1856. The membership of each denomination then was about, one hunded and fifty. Burials The New Jerusalem Ceme tery contains a numfcer of fine menu-.
