ANNIVERSARY OF
THE REFORMATION
Great Celebration to Be Held
by United eRformed Churches
of City January II

Invitations are being issued for the
celebration of the 400th anniversary
of the Great Protestant Reformation
to be held by the Salem, Second,
Fourth and st. Johns Reformed
Church of Harrisburg; the st. An
drew's Reformed Church of Penbrook
and the First Reformed Church OF
Steelton, in the Technical High school
auditorium, Sunday, January 81 at
1880 p. m.
The. reason for selecting this place
is that none of the churches can ac-
commodate a union meeting if all the
congregations attend.
The address of the evening will be
made by the Rev. DIR. George w. Rich
ards, professor of church history in
the Theological Seminary at Lancas-
ter. The Rev. DR.. Richards is the best
qualified scholar of the denomination
to deal with the subject of the refor-
nation and church history, and in
view of the fact that no one now living
will be privileged to attend another
hundredth anniversary of the refor-
nation it behooves those who can to
attend this important service.
On the committee of arrangements
are William M. Robinson, H. NJ.
Yingst, j. III. Smith, ID. E. Brightbill,
DR.. d. e. Myers and John E. Mumma.

er, the only person now in high school
that was in it being Paul Selsam.

game Friday evening, the Centralians
did not meet. The meeting will be held

ture will probably be established.
