same day with an attendance of
twelve. In 1906 the Rev. Howard f..
Snyder was called as the first Pastor
and under his supervision a very valu-
able building site was secured at the
corner of Atlantic and Poplar avenues,
and in 1908 a very neat and churchly
little chapel was built on the site. In
September 1903, Rev. Snyder accepted
a call to Kingston, New York; In De-
cember 1908 the present Pastor was
called from Livingston, Montana.
He took charge January 2, 1909, n
under his efficient work the member
ship is growing. The Sunday school
has an enrolment of over seventy and
is In numbers and work. Last
Sunday Rev I. Chantry Hoffman, now
pastor of the Lutheran church OF the
Nativity, Seventeenth and Tioga
streets, preached the anniversary ser
mon in the morning and in the eve
ming he installed Rev. Dolly as the
regular pastor of this parish. Rev.
Hoffman is one of the most eloquent
speakers in the Lutheran chnrch and
delivered two excellent sermons. Other
pleasant features of their days services
was the presentation of a handsome
Lecturn, by Thomas Welty, of Wild
wood. The congregation is deeply in
debted to Mr.. Welty. Three years
ago next Easter he presented a pulpit
and two altar chairs. The Lecturn
now completes the set. Mrs. Henry
HI. Ottens had the trowel which was
used In laying the corner stone OF the
chapel, silver plated and handsomely
engraved and presented it TO the
church. The choir rendered excellent
music, both morning and evening; all
credit for this is due Miss Ida Mae
Buzby under whose efficient work the
choir has attained a high standing.
Useful presents are always appreci-
ated. Call in and look at our blankets,
quilts, fancy table linens, etc. Mech
