A vigorous Young Congregation.

The Baltimore Syn of Monday contained
the following in regard TO the work Of for.
mer Carroll copntian; 1.-THE congregation Of
Christ English Lutheran Church, Rev. L. NJ.
Zimmerman, pastor, took possession of their
new church, Hill street, near Charles street.
yesterday morning On December !, 1887,
the Rev. Mr., Zimmerman was called by the
board of home missions to start an English
Lutheran church in South Baltimore. On
December Is the first meeting was held in
Triumph Hall, on Light street. On Febru-
airy Is, 1888, the congregation of Christ
Church was organized with the large number
of 225. The work and success have been
phenomenal. The building occupied by the
Hill Street Methodist Episcopal Church was
purchased for SO, 700 and the congregation is
now firmly established. The service yester
day was very largely attended, the church
being crowded to the doors. The choir rem.
dered the music very successfully. The pas
tor preached practical and forcible sermon
on the daty of the people to their church. In
referring to the young man who went to sleep
under the preaching of St. Paul at Troas and
fell from the third loft, Mr.. Zimmerman said
the congregation would doubtless say the
moral TO be drawn was, ''Don't preach long
sermons" The better moral, he said, was,
"Dont go to sleep in church"
