Hollowny, l>. D N Some one lias said "History is phil osophy teaching by example." The lessons of history arc both interesting and helpful in doing our work in the present. In no history do we And the hand of Cod more manifest than in tiie Christian Church. There is di vine direction to "Remember the Days of Old." This Includes St. Peter's Lu theran Church of Middletown. because she stands at the head of the long list of Lutheran congregations in Dau phin county. Here the Reformation seeds of the sixteenth century were planted many generations ago by the fathers of the Lutheran Church, and behold what a rich fruit bearing vine St. Peter's lias become! The lot of ground, and adjoining graveyard, on which the first St. Peter's Church was erected, was pur chased from George Fisher, Septem ber 18, 1764, for 7 shillings and 6 pence ($1.80), with the rather singu lar additional rent of one grain of wheat annually, to be delivered on the tirst day of May. In the same year a petition was sent to King George IXI, of England, through John Penn, then lieutenant governor of the prov ince, praying for the privilege of erect ing a church, and also for permis sion to collect funds for the same purpose. This was granted, to raise 1,200 pounds—sti,ooo—in the space of three years. The church of stone was built in 1767 and to-day stands as erect as it did 150 years ago. The tine masonry challenges all similar work of to-day. A second St. Peter's has since been erected and is an ornament to the town. It is a beautiful, artis tic, commodious building of which any congregation may well be proud. It appears from the tone of the license granting the above privilege, that the members were then very poor and that many were driven from their homes by the hostile Indians, for the woods were full of them. What heroic faitii this required to build a church under such circum stances! These fathers and mothers certainly loved the church and gave themselves for it. The country all around them was a dense wilderness and Middletown was a small hamlet. In those times it was not safe for any one, as well as their minister, to go away from their homes without be ing well armed. It was not an un T common thing when they returned from the house of worship to find their homes a heap of charred ruins and all their stock driven off by the hostile red man. These good church people would stack their arms inside the Offers Sunday $14,000 Per Week to Go With Circus New York, March 3.—Frank P. Spellman, president of the United States Circus Corporation, has offered Billy Sunday $2,000 a day or $14,000 a week, to travel with the new Million Dollar Motorized Circus, which goes on the road on May 14. President Spellman makes the offer for as many weeks of the summer as Mr. Sunday can arrange. No stipulation is made as to just what Mr. Sunday will do, but it is intimated that he may preach to the big audiences the big circus will draw each day, and a special serv ice is suggested for the Sabbath, when the proceeds, all or the greater part, will be devoted to charity. Mr. Sun day has not stated whether or not he will accept the offer. PINK STREET NOTES Dr. Mudge, pastor of Pine Street Presbyterian Church, will preach to morrow morning on "A Lesson in Loving." In the evening he will con tinue the series of special sermons, taking for his subject "The Man Who Deliberately Betrayed Jesus." The musical program at the services will be: Morning—Prelude.

FOURTH REFORMED Morning—Prelude, "Romance," C. St. Saens; offertory, "At Sunset," Scl lars; anthem, "He Shall Feed His Flock," Reynolds; postlude, "Festal March," Brewer. Evening—Prelude, "Ave Marie," Verdi; offertory, "Melody," Beethoven; tenor solo, "I Heard the Voice of church during service, and have one man stand at the door to warn the rest of approaching danger. We might think such condition of things ample excuse for not going to church. Not so with these devoted children of the true faith. The llabby and whimsical faith to which too many hold even loosely now, would "never undergo such hardships and face such dangers lor the Lord's sake and His church. The Hoor of the Hrst St. Peter's, for 60 years, was of bircli and without stoves to heat the building. Many members had to come ten and riore miles to church through rain and cold and the driving snow, and then sit for several hours, their feet on a damp, cold brick floor. How would our modern hothouse Christians flour ish under such circumstances? It took very warm sermons those times to keep the brothers and sisters warm. The present St. Peter's congregation has a baptized membership of 813, and worships in a most beautiful and comfortable church edifice of large proportions, and well equipped to do the best church work and is doing It under the leadership of Pastor Fuller Bergstresser. He is efficient, conse crated and beloved. There is a Sun day school numbering 921. The Frey's Orphan Home, in Middletown, plant ed and provided for by this father was a member of the congregation, and this institution is under the care of the Lutheran Church. And now see what has been done! Tho way in the wilderness and sol itary peace was made for us by the forefathers who toiled and suffered. They laid hold and heroically wres tled with the possibilities before them, and to-day that beautiful town and vicinity are reaping the rich harvest of their sowing. The fathers laid the foundations of future progress deep and broad. In looking down the vista of coming generations, they beheld, as in a vision, the future success that some day would glorify their efforts. In the church and the school for which they provided, we have some of the fruits of the glorious Reforma tion of the sixteenth century. They have left to the present and coming generations that which is more abid ing than empires and republics, the fine granite of truth and righteous ness. Industry and honesty were the prime factors in their characters, and the guiding stars in their pilgrimage, and now see what is here! This should provoke gratitude, profound and last ing. It should also inspire all to make the best use of this glorious heritage. Jesus Say," (Mr. Robert George), Rathbun; anthem, "If Ye Love Me," Lansing; postlude, "Largo," Handel.
