LAST SUNDAY-A Notable Day
anaonq the Lutherams.-In lieu of a re-
port of our own the following inter
esting account from the Baltimore
american has been commended to US
CUMBERLAND, Oct. 8, 1878.
Your correspondent, together with
DR.. Butler, of Washington, D. T., haF-
ing been appointed by the President
of the Synod to install Rev; ?. L. Har-
rison as pastor of the Frostburg charge
left Cumberland on Saturday after
noon, and, after a delightful ride OF
an hour and half through the Wild
and romantic mountain scenery OF the
coal region, reached our destination.
AS we looked from our windows this
morning upon the snow-whlte house,
tops and graz mountains all around
we could not help remarking that the
right name had been given to this
town. 1t was indeed a frosty
"burg" this morning.
On Sabbath morning DR.. Butler
filled the pulpit of the Lutheran
Church, preaching from the text in
Revelation, 2, 9: Il know thy power
ty but thou art rich
In the evening large audience as
sembled in the Lutheran Church,
where the installation services took
place. Rev. George Scholl, of Baltl-
more, conducted the opening services
and delivered the charge to the pas
tor, Rev. P. L. Harrison, basing his
remarks on Gal. 2, so :"Christ liveth
in me-" "The Indwelling Christ,
the Ministers Inspiration and Source
OF Power" was the theme Of the speak
er's discourse. The whole aim and
spirit of Christianity is to beget IN us
the same character that Christ bore,
and enter us into the same kind OF q
life that He lived.
DR.. Butler delivered the charge to
the membership in a pointed and prac-
teal address. He said that the pas
toral relation in these times was too
lightly esteemed, and that his object
would be to offer such suggestions as
would have q tendency to extend the
pastorate if followed.
/. AS he breaks to them the bread OF
eternal life he has right to expect IRON
them the bread of this life. The failure to
properly support the pastor is proliile
source of frequent pastoral changes.
2. The people must take heed how they
hear. They must be faithful IN their at
tendance on the services of the sanctuary
and careful to practice what they hear SC
as to encourage the minister in his work.
3. They must remember that their pas
tor is only man. They must not expect
unreasonable things from him. If states
man makes big speech once year he Is
accounted a great man, The preacher
must appear two or three times wees
and must not be criticised If he does moi
preach eloquently every time.
4. And finally, the people must pray 1ol
their pastor No officer has greater bur
dens and responsibilities, and SO should
have the cordial sympathy and carnes
prayer of all the membership.
Rev. Hennighausen, of Baltimore
also took part in the services. Rev
Harrison has most promising anc
attractive field, and is supported il
his work by an accomplished, active
and helpful little woman, who pre-
sides over an elegant and most home
like parsonage.
Rev F. Phi. Hennighausen and G
H. Brandau, Of Baltimore, preached
in the German Lutheran Church
morning and evening, respectively
and Rev Prof. c. L. Keedy, of Hagers
town, delivered an exceedingly inter
esting morning discourse to the con
gregation worshiping in the NJ. Il
Church, South. The correspondent
above quoted says further:
Rev. Lepley filed the pulpit of thu
M. E. Church, DR., Edwards pastor
and discoursed from l Cor, iii, q
%, AL things are yours. The NJ
E. Church in Frostburg has a fine ed
iGce, a good congregation, and
strong and popular man in their pas
tor, DR.. Edwards.
