At TRINITY LUTHERAN CHURCH.
REV. JOHN H. HARPsTER, D. D.


Last Sunday the Lutherans celebrat-
ed the seventieth anniversary of the
birth of Dr. J. H. Harpster, their first
pastor. Addresses were made by Rev.
West. Dr. Middlekauff and Mr.. II. D.
Shaffer.
Rev. West gave q general account
Of his life and labors as student,
preacher and missionary. DR.. Harps-
ter was born in Center Hall, Center
county. Pa, April q, 1874 He was
only sixteen when the Civil war occur
red, and served throughout the whole
period. Entering Selinsgrove College
for an education he later went TO
ed with the class of I'll. While at col
| lege he was called to the bedside of
his mother in her last illness. Listen
| ing to her earnest hopes and prayers
| for him he then resolved to become 2
preacher. While at Gettysburg he be-
came interested in the India field and
as soon as be was graduated went to
India for q period Of four years.
Throat trouble compelled him co re-
| turn to the United States in 1876. In
| 1879 he was called to Hays, Kansas, for
four and half years. then to Trenton,
| N J., for like period, then to Can
| ton, Ohio for nine years. Thus he
spent more than seventeen years in
| these three pastorates. In 1893 h
went TO India again, returning to
| America IN 1901 In 1902 he set ssil
again for India, remaining until 1909,
/ this time serving the General Council,
/ to which body his membership had
been transferred. The great need OF
the work alone led him to sever his
connection with the General Synod.
| His wife was a most intelligent and
| faithful companion and helper during
these years of incessant labor. DR..
| Harpster died at Mt. Airy, Philadelphia.
in 1911, and was buried on the Geteys-
| burg battlefield near the spot where
| he had once been severely wounded.
DR., Middlekauf spoke Of his good
| fellowship and genial ways. His talk
consisted largely of annecdotes of DR..
| Harpster's pastorate at Hays, and OF
| his experiences in India as he had
often heard the Doctor relate theR.
The address had the personal element
pretty well forward as DIR MiddIekauff
and he had been roOm-mates for sever
al years.
Mr.. 81. D. Shafer, in the course of
| his address made g short sketch OF
Capt. Harpster's soldier life. given by
| his widow who now resides in Los An
geles, Cal. He stated that Mrs. harp

cultured, but also an author of a work
entitled "Among the Telugoos, q verJ

that she had there conducted schools

fore his 18th birthday, enlisting April
p, 1861, in Co. 81. 7th Pa. Vols. for
three months, and later reenlisting in
Co. G. 148th Pa. Vols for three years.
He was promoted through the grades
of company officers from Sergeant to

Gen'ls Caldwell, Miles and Hays, took
part in twenty three battles III the
Army Of the Potomac, was wounded
four times, receiving his severest
wound at Gettysburg, July 2. He Was
taken prisoner few days before Lees

charged in June 1866" Capt. Harp
ster's regiment lost 30 killsd and 1S7
from disease. Its total of killed and
wounded was 76o, almost unparalleled
in its losses AT Spottsyivania it suf-
fered the heaviest losses of any regi-
TneGt IN the battle.
The address was q review OF Capt.
HarDs ter's services In the Civil War,
mostly drawn from memory and relat-
ing 10 bis transfer from the cffeers in

and no Doubt the Captains wish that

Practical Prescription
Against Stomach Acidity

Nine-tenths of all cases Of stomach
trouble nowadays are caused by too
much acid. In the beginning the
stomach itself is not diseased but II
this acid condition is allowed to con-
tinue, the acid is very likely to eat
into the stomach walls and produce
stomach ulcers which may render a
radical surgical operation necessary
even to prolong life. Therefore. an
''acid stomach is really q dangerous
condition and should be treated Sc
riously. It is utterly useless to take
pepsin and ordinary stomach tablets.
The excess acid or stomach hypera-
cfdity must be neutralized by the adj
ministration of an efficient antacid.
For this purpose the best remedy is
bisurated magnesia taken in teaspoon
full doses in q fourth of a glass of wat
er after each meal. Larger Quanti-
ties may be used II necessary as it il
absolutely harmless. Be sure to ask
for the bisurated magnesia as other
forms of magnesia make effective
mouth Washes but they have not the
same action on the stomach as the
bisurated. You can get Bisurated
Magnesia at Arnold Drug Co., and
the RQwley Drug Store.-Adv.
