Pastorate; Now Yesterday morning the Rev, Raymond C. Shindler of the Fourth Lutheran church preached his last service to the church congregation. Rev.

Shindler leaves Altoona soon to take up his new duties the Norfolk, school of the chaplain corps of the navy, having been commissioned a lieut enant in the naval reserve, May 7. A graduate of Gettysburg college and Lutheran Theological seminary, Rev. Shindler served his first congregation in Baltimore. Md In 1922. He was ordained by the West Pennsylvania, Synod of the United Evangelical Lutheran church October 11, 1922.

He came to Altoona and began his pastorate at the Fourth Lutheran church June 20, 192S. He was born May 3, 1S9S In North York, Pa. He attended tho public schools of North York borough and the York County academy. In September, 1913 he entered Pennsylvania college, now Gettysburg college, Gettysburg, from which Institution he was graduated with the degree of bachelor of arts June 11, 1919. While a student at the college he took an active part in all cam- pus activities and was a member of tho college band and of Kappa Delta Rho fraternity.

A point of Interest, in view of his present military activity is that Rev. Shindler was a member of the first R. O. T. C.

group to be organized in that school, the Pennsylvania college unit being or- I ganized in the fall of 1915. Although as a pre-thcologicul student Mr. Shindler was exempt from military conscription, he felt that the call to arms of his country was too urgent to ignore and, waiving exemption, he was voluntarily inducted into the Students Army Training corps in September, 1918. This S. A.

T. C. was a training unit of the U. S. army set up to train officers in the colleges of the country and had not the armistice intervened, Mr.

Shindler would have left the college for active service with the armed forces. However, the war's end made this unnecessary and in December, 1918 he was mustered out of service. In September, 1919, having been accepted as a student, he entered the Lutheran Theological seminary at Gettysburg from where he graduated May 18. 1922. Rev.
