CHURCH ANNIvERsARY.-O of the
first churches intended to be establish
ed in Alexandria was a German Re-
formed Church as an offshoot of the
church at Funkstown, on the Maryland
shore. The site of the church had been
fixed when the project miscarried. No
Gle man church was established here
until 1865, when Messrs. Robert Portner,
Louis Appich and others called meet
ing OF German Lutherans and organized
church at the room on the southwest
corner of Columbus and King streets.
Later the congregation met in the room
now occupied by the Board OF Trade on
Klng street. Ia 1879 a neat frame
house of worship was built on Cameron
and Alfred streets, and yesterday the
congregation celebrated its twenty
fifth anniversary. There were three
services, with excellent music. Two
were conducted during the day in Ger
man and one at night in English. The
first service was conducted by Rev.
DR.. Heimke, of Emmanuel Lutheran
Church, Baltimore. He took his text
from the Tooth Psalm, and his sermon
was eloquent and impressive. In
the afternoon Rev. DIR. Luebkert,
of Washington, delivered q mastery
sermon, in which he showed why his
congregation should rejoice. His re-
marks were listened to with earnest
attention. The history of the Alexan-
dria church was then read lin substance
as given above). The paper showed
that the first pastor of the church from
1902 was Rev. r. A. Bischoff, now
professor at Concordia College, Fort
Wayne, Ind. He was succeeded by
Rev. J. Fleckenstein, now stationed
near Baltimore. Then Mr.. ]. Scholler,
student Of theology served the con-
Rev. T. Droege, who on account of
poor health was obliged to resign the
charge after but one years service.
The next pastor, Rev. j. Schwoy, served
the congregation for nearly nine sue
cessive years, 1SS4-92, being succeeded
by the present pastor, Rev. S. Chaser.
The night service at 7:30 o'clock was in
English, and was conducted by Rev.
VIM. Dollman, editor of the Lutheran
Witness His sermon was from Eph.
Y, 25-27, and was an earnest appeal for
the maintenance of the faith once de-
livered. The musical feature of the
service was in charge of Prof. Rup-
precht, who acted as organist. Messrs.
Nails, Whittlesey, Meyers and Now
land contributed much toward the in
strumental music. The floral decora-
tons furnished by Mr.. Reinecker, were
tasteful and profuse.
