frey Dreher, and in 1912, Michael
Rauch, and J. Yost Meetze we're
licensed to preach by the N. G. Synod.
These ministers, each at some time
in his ministry, preached at this
church. They we're godly, jealous,
strong men and untiring in their
labors in the cause of Christ. The
speaker gave vivid account OF the
condition of the country at that time
and of the selfsacri6cing lab OF
these true Soldiers of the Cross.
In 1924 the S. G. Lutheran Synod
was organized and, of course, St.
Peters joined it. Doctrinal differ
ences between Rev. G. Dreher and
the other ministers of the Synod
finally, in 1887, led the former to
withdraw from that Synod of which
he was the first president and OF
which be had at all times been an
active and influential leader. Eight
congregations followed him and from
1887 to 1852 remained without syn.
oGical connection. In 1886 and
1887 Rev. Kleckley was pastor Of the
church, but he remained in connec'
tion with the Synod while St. Peters
was one of those which were with
drawn. He afterwards removed to
Georgia, where be labored in the
ministry for many years.
Rev. Dreher was pastor from 1887
until 1851 when owing to physical
in6rmities he was forced to give up
in part his work. Rev. Daniel E6rd
then became his assistant and the
regular pastor in 1854. The churches
served by Revs. Dreher and Efrd in
1852 joined largely through Rev.
Efrd's influence the Tennessee Synod.
MIR. Dreher himself never did. He
died in 1875, aged IS years. he
was strong man, a leader and an
able preacher of the word. Rev. j.
Yost Meetze, the grandfather of the
distinguished speaker, died in 1888,
aged II. In labors he was abundant
and only eternity can reveal the good
done by this modest, but earnest
gospel preacher.
The services held in this church
were in its early history in the Ger
man language, but soon the English
was introduced. In her early years
many distinguished ministers from
other states visited her. Rev. @. A.
G. Storch preached there on one of
his missionary tours. Rev. David

Marshal Kinney yesterday received
q letter from John L. Sullivan. chief OF

the marshal at the request Of Chief
sullivan who said that he was wanted
there for the murder of young man
in Sacramento in 1895.
Mr. Sullivan says there can be no
doubt that Graves is the man wanted
but the district attorney Of that county
had become alarmed by reports pub
lished in Arizona and California papers
regarding his mental condition. As soon
as IL was learned that Graves had been
an inmate OF the territorial insane asy-

Henry S. Geyer was elected
speaker for the third time in

In 1923 John Thornton of

RIDING A FREE HORSE.
A Few of the Things Expected From a
Local Paper.

Carrollton Texas) News:
People sometimes decline to
subscribe for their home paper
for the reason that they al
ready take several papers pub.
lisbed in New York or else.
where.
Yet these same people often
ask and receive favors from the
local papers, while none ale
received or expected from the
far,off journal.
When they wish to express
gratitude for kindly assistan ce
during sickness or misfortune,
the local paper is asked to pub
lish card of thanks.
When they wish to have a
supper or reception of any kind,
the local paper is asked to give
it free notice.
When a public meeting is to
be held for any purpose, they
want the local paper to give it
due publicity.
When they want their town
doomed, so as to increase the
value of their property they
call on the local paper.
When they want new rail.
road, or factory built, they eX.
pect the local paper to work
for it with all it's might.
When death occurs in the
home, they expect the local
paper to report it in tender,
sympathetic strain, and to eX-
tol the virtues of the deceased.
When birth or wedding oc-
ours in the family, they expect
: the local paper to give a de-
{ scription of the event.
When they are trying to build
up churches or schools, the
local paper Is asked to give
them good, strong puffs.
If there is battle for right
in the county or precinct the
editor is expected to bear the
brunt of it.
Thus, people are constantly
receiving favors from the loca
paper, tut many fail to show
their appreciation by subscrib
ing for it.
Yet they cheerfully pay their
subscriptions annually, in ad
vance, for the New York Ba
ZOO, or the Philadelphia Barns
former, which Dever did any
thing for them or their com
munity.
