Epiphary Lutheran Church. Erected Ten Years Ago.
Faces Future With Splendid Edgifce Clear Of Debt
Only Five Charter Members
Of Original Congregation
Have Died.

In a city where so many of the
churches are hoary with age, num-
bering among their congregations
the grandsons and great-grand-
sons of their original members,
the Lutheran Church of the Epiph-
any, New Hampshire avenue and U
street northwest, Is unique in that
it is scarcely ten years of age and
that with but five exceptions, all of
the charter members are still active
workers in the church.
+. Steck, came to Epiphany when
the church was but a handful of
faithful Lutherans. worshiping In
a building loaned them through the
courtesy of another church. Gunton
Memorial Presbyterian.
This prosperity of Epiphany Lu-
theran is one of its chief prides.
for, like the village blacksmith of
the poem. they look the whole
world in the face, they owe not any
man." Epiphany Lutheran Is abso-
lutcly free from debt.
This prosperity DR.. Steck at
tributes to the fact that the church
is conducted along sound business
lines.
DR.. Steck declares that he has
tried to teach. his congregation to
give from principle and not from
impulse.
The original members of the
church belonged to Luther Memorial
Church at Thomas Circle. Owing
to a difference with the pastor of
Luther Memorial, they decided to
break away and form a congrega-
ton OF their own. Among these first
few members were the Rev. G. II.
Slaybaugh and Mrs. Slaybaugh, Lu-
cius Alden. l.. Russell Alden, A. Y.
Leech and Mrs. Leech. II. r. Lerch
and Mrs. Lerch, II. b. Burrill and

OF these original members. five
have since died. They are II. S.
Lerch. jr., l.. D. Alden, ]. ]. Cook,
Mrs. Z. l.. Reukert and Mrs. Eliza
beth Connor.
At first, when this little group had
just withdrawn from their connec-
ton with Luther Memorial, they
called themselves the Independent
Lutheran Church and met in the old
Confederate Memorial Hall on YER
mont avenue. This was in 1909
and II was not until a year later
that they decided to call to their
pulpit DIR. Steck. DIR. Steck came in
October and the corner stone of the
new building was laid the following
Easter.
The lot on which the church
stands cost the congregation $4,000
and the building $4,000 more, all
of which was promptly paid.

Epiphany Church DR.. Steck has
three times been elected to the
presidency of the Maryland Synod.

when the nation was torn by ira

tragedy of civil war.
The site upon which the church
stands was purchased through the
generosity of Amos Kendall, Post
master General in Jackson's admin
istration, and with his help the first
building was erected. The building
was completed in 1865. and in 1851
was burnt to the ground. Again.

building was begun and completed
year later.

same today as il was in 1868, but

Washington Churches Long for Honor
Of Selection as Choice of White House

The Presidents Church" is a title
toward which the many churches of
Washington look covetously, and
the congregation that numbers the
President and his household among
its members Is apt to feel a cer-
tain amount of pride in the fact.
Visitors in Washington almost in
yariably ask to be shown the church
attended by the White House fam
lily and not infrequently make a
point of visiting the church during
their stay in the city so they can
actually see the President as he
leaves or enters.
During the past eight years Cen
trail Presbyterian Church has held
the coveted title. President Wilson
was a regular attendant at the old
church and made the principal ad-
