THREE DAYS FESTIVAL
St. Tmrinitatis Will Celebrate
Reformation Day, It's
Birthday and Pastor
Hafer's Anniversary

Al festival that will last three days will
be begun In the Evangelical Lutheran St.
Trinitatis Church, in Bowers street, next
Tuesday evening. 1t will be a triple eel
ebration commemorating three important
events, Reformation Day. the twenty-ffth
anniversary of the founding Of the church
and the twentieth anniversary OF the
Rev. r. Hafer's passionate. Pastor Hafer
has been indefatigably at work for weeks
making preparations for the festival. II
promises to be the greatest event In the
history of the church. and the church
has an exceedingly interesting history.
Its formation was originally brought
about by St. John's Lutheran Church In
1874. The first five years Of It's existence
was a period of failure and discourage
ment. The congregation was then wor-
shipping in a small chapel at No. 6S Bow
ers street.
When Pastor Hafer took charge a debt
of $500 hung over the congregation. The
church then consisted OF only twenty-five
members. Pastor Hafer soon wiped this
debt out. He was then a sturdy, we'll
built man with a striking face. He had
an erect carriage and his step was brisk.
Even now, after twenty years Of ardu-
Gus labor In building up his church he Is
full of push and energy. His face and
manners show somewhat the effects OF
worry and mental strain and his shout
ders are slightly stopped.
He is very popular with his people, whit
| say he will die serving God and them
| He has ever been found a friend in need
and has shared their joys and sorrows
| For the first ten years as pastor he re
| fused to accept moresthan $50 a year. ant
out of this he paid rent on his parsonage
at No. 611z Bowers street. Ills congrega
ton wanted to pay him more.
The church was incorporated as thu
| First German Evangelical Lutheran
| Church under the general State law gov
erning the Incorporation Of churches
which did not give the pastor a right t
vote on important questions affecting til
welfare OF his own church. All bushes
was transacted by a board Of trustees
He tried to work under tina system TO
three years, but finally abandoned 1t. Fl
then Incorporated the church under
special act Of the Legislature governini
Reformed Churches. As president OF tn
Board OF Trustees he was given the Dowe
to decide all questions relating to the In
terest of the parish.
Then commenced an era of prosperity
The church grew and changed its nam
