OLD ZION CHURCH HAS ONE
OF MOST YOUTHFUL LEADERS

IA series of articles on the ministers
of Harrisburg churches; beginning with
to-day will be Saturday feature of
the Telegraph's church page. In these
articles. 1t is. the intention to portray
the characteristics of the men who are
activities. to give their characteristics,
and tell what Is most interesting and
important In their work.
Old Zion Lutheran Church, which
| traces it's beginnings back to the first
settlers of Harrisburg, has In It's pas
tor, the Rev. Stewart Winfield Her
man. one of the youngest pastors in
the city. This combination of the
church with its traditions of more
than century and q comparatively
young man of modern, progressive
ideas is q stimulating combination In
the religious life of the community.
The Rev. Mr.. Herman believes that
the only way to obtain 100 per cent.
efficiency In church work Is by giving
every person in the church something
to do. This Is done by organizing
groups among all ages and in both
sexes. Zion Lutheran Church is inter-
woven with organized groups, each
group having special interest In
addition to the general work of the
church.
II am convinced" said Mr.. Herman
Yesterday that the only way to OBJ
tain the best for the church and the
best for the workers is to give every
one connected with the church
special interest. So we have our kin
dergarten classes our Junior and
senior catechetical classes, junior and
senior brotherhoods for boys and men
and missionary societies among girls
and women
Is Quietly Enthusiastic
nj 3nfa
haps the Rev. Mr.. Herman's most
valuable characteristic. He Is ap-
proachable and enthusiastic in a quiet,
calm way that convinces of his ear
nestness.
From the location of old Zion In the
center of the city, the Rev. Mr.. Her.
man must of necessity come In touch
with all classes of people in his parish
work.
More than any other church In the
city, he said. do we find drunken
men coming into our pews. They find
1t convenient, and often when 1 am
preaching | see them drop into rear
pew. We have never had any trouble
with them, and always make q point
of getting to the door to shake them
by the hand before they get out.
Believes I'm Handshake
Il believe in the handshake," he
said. "and | try to get in close per-
sonal touch with every man who en-
ters my church. Our Mems Brother
hood last year made a personal house
toulouse canvass in the center of the
CITY, visited every home, even the
homes of the unfortunate women. We
gave everyone q warm invitation to
come to church, and thus took away
from them forever the possibility of
saying the church took no interest In
them. A few came to the church, and
