KREMF.H Th» first church built In this city w»« an old log cabin erected In 1787, at Third and Cherry streets. On this, the oldest church site In tlie city, the oldest active minister In point of ser vice In the city, preaches every Sun day. The Rev. Dr. Ellis N. Kremer has ! served old Reformed Salem Church' for twenty-six years. He has been ai minister of the Gospel forty-three | years. One of the members of Old Salem 1 described Dr. Kremer best perhaps when he said: "He is one of the old-fashioned pas tors, of that lovrble type'-which, It Is to be/regretted, is passing away. Dr. Krenier is the shepherd of his flock, and/his flock to him means every inuß, woman or child that qomes with in/his influence, whether they be tion Dr. Kremer is often affectionately nicknamed "Tho Comforter." lie earns his title from his constant ac tivity among the poor, needy and be reaved. People who know him say he has burled more of the outcasts and the friendless than any other minister in the city. His greatest characteristic, perhaps, is this charitable work, and yet it is ihe least known of his activities. The unostentatious way in which he does his charity is carried out in his> church. He seeks to avoid publicity. He never announces the subject of i his sermons, and the sermons arn never sensational. All are of tho old ! Gospel kind, filled with the spirit of love which pervades everything the m«.n does.

It is the belief expressed by Dr. Kremor that you can bring about re forms only by making the Individual good, and unless this is dono reform laws can do little. Kor years Dr. Kremer has made his pastoral visits without keeping any record. One of Ids church members said that sinco the first of the year he has counted his visits, and In eight weeks he has made more than 400 calls. In the home of the poor or the down-and-out Dr. Kremer is always welcome. Golf Enthusiast Dr. Kremer is known for other things than his church work. Golf enthusiasts have learned to know tho genial doctor, who takes so keen a delight in a healthy drive. He takes his exercise In the open season on the Reservoir golf course. Chess is another favorite recreation with him, and there are few he can't defeat at the game of wits. For years Dr. Kremer has been col lecting Indian relics. He has collected some of the rarest of Indian arrow heads ajul utensils from the islands and shores of the Susquehanna river. Until he took up golf, he made fre quent tramps after relics. It was his chief form of exercise. Much of his collection he has given away to Indi viduals or museums. His alma mater, Franklin and Marshall College, has i received many a valuable specimen from him. Dr. Kremer came to this city in February, 1888, from Bedford. He had served the church in that place for seventeen years. A few months after he graduated from the Seminary of the Reformed Church, then located at Mercersburg, in the Spring of 1871, he went to Bedford. Work of His Kindly Hau
