winters Lutheran Church, Now St. Luke $.

About the year 1766 Francis Winter, one
Of the earliest settlers in the neighborhood of
what is now New Windsor, received an appli-
cation from German Colonists near Lancaster,
Pa, for land for farming purposes and for the
prospective erection there of a Lutheran
Church of the Augsburg Confession. Family
after family arrived and took up land in this
vicinity, then part of Frederick county. In
IT72 log church was erected for house Of
prayer, but was not organized rs a Church
until January LIST 1888, under the pastoral
care ofthe Rev. Johann Daniel Schroeder, when
the Ecclesiastical Discipline of tne Church
was submitted and adopted by the Congrega-
ton; and on May 3lst, 1884 the first officers
of the Church were elected aud installed.
They were: Elders, Francis Winter, Henry
Craul; Deaeons, Jacob Haintz and George
Spangler; Pastor, Johann Daniel Schroeder.
The old log church becoming inadequate for
the increase in population, it was resolved by
the congregation to build new and more
commodiuos ediiice, which was accomplished
IN the year 1875. St.Luke's Church, las it is now
called, has at present 10 COMMITMENTS and
is under the pastoral care of the Rev George
W. Baughman.
The original book of records is we'll pre-
served and most interesting on account of its
antiquity.

those who expect to use any oils and
paints at any time during this sum-
mer, will take the trouble to call at
this house, investigate prices and
quality. we are sure that they will be
able to save money. This house not
only guarantees its oils and paints,
but they give references as to
where they have sold them and where
they have stood the most severe tests
which could be applied for 10 to Ii
years. In fact they can refer you to
houses in about every township
in the county where one or more
buildings have been painted with the
materials which they furnished and
the best way to find out as to wheth-
er they have given satisfaction is to
go and ask the parties who have
bought them and used them on their
buildings.
