GREAT SERVICE
! Hundreds Attend Centennial
I
I of St. Peter's Sunday School
in Historic Church
Miildictown, Nov. 3. —Old St. j
! Peter's Lutheran Church was the .
i rallying point yesterday of hundreds |
i who revere the place as an early
! outpost of religion with a glorious ]
I history. As long ago as 1567 the \
• hundredth jubilee of the famous
i house of worship was celebrated ,
with impressive services, General !
Simon Cameron, James Young and
■ other distinguished citizens having
j served on the committee- in charge '
of the centennial arrangements, and 1
> yesterday the hundredth anniver- j
i sary of the Sunday school of St.
I Peter's was commemorated with an
entire day of special exercises, it
was a day of unusual interest,
l morning, afternoon and evening, and
many prominent Lutherans were
present to enjoy the occasion. De
scendants of the founders of the
school took part in the delightful
interchanges of the day.
In the morning the pastor, the
Rev. Fuller Bergstresser, occupied
the pulpit, and at the evening serv
i ice the Rev. J. B. Baker, of Geltys
j burg, delivered an able sermon ap
propriate to the occasion.
It was in the afternoon, however,
I that the centennial program was ob
i served, consisting of special orches-
I tral and vocal numbers, addresses (
i and a jubilee centenary offering. <
I E. S. Gerbericli, the superintend- j
ent, presided and the same efficiency
I which characterizes his public and
! private activities was noted on this
memorable historic occasion.
The Rev. Dr. H. C. Holloway, for
i several years the pastor of St.
j Peter's, offered the anniversary
! prayer, an impressive and beautiful
| petition, and at the close invoked
i the blessing of God upon the school.
The pastor's address was brief but
j appropriate in its eloquent refer-
I ences to the school's history and its
marvelous development.
Mr. Gerberich then introduced E.
| J. Stackpole, of Harrisburg, as one
i whom he had learned to know well
| and appreciate through association

tho descendants of a single pair
of rats if allowed to multiply un

figures prepared for the Board of

scientist. This calculation is an

amounting to $200,000,000.
counties, in the United War Work
campaign of last year.
Air. titackpole warmly congratu
lated the school on its remarkable
record covering a period of a hun
dred years, and dwelt upon the fact
that the influence for good of such
a shrine would be felt by lyany gen
erations to come. He spoke of tho
value of Sunday school training and
suggested that the morale of the
American Army could easily be
traced in thousands of cases to the
teachings of devoted Christian men
and women in the Sunday schools.
The speaker complimented the
school on its fine record of service
in the war, and had no doubt that
the forty-five or more young men
represented by the stars on its serv
ice flag would endorse his statement
regarding the sustaining strength of
the school's backing during the
world conflict.
Mr. Stackpole told of the splendid
work among the mountain children
of the South in which he is inter
ested and how the Sunday school
missionaries in those rugged hills
had been responsible for bringing
into touch with civilization and a
religious atmosphere many boys who
had later become able and brilliant
leaders, living monuments of conse
crated Christian effort.
Many Speak
The speaker advanced the
thought that in the Sunday schools
the country had an effective agency
for overcoming the unrighteous
propaganda of unrest and discon
tent, the alarming aftermath of the
war. These girls and boys, the men
and women of to-morrow, through
the training here, he said, "would be
prepared to combat the impossible
and malignant theories imported
from other lands and thereby safe
guard the ideals and institutions on
which America stands. He appealed
to the young people present to fit
themselves for the "conflicts of
peace" and to bo worthy of tho
splendid heritage vouchsafed to
them.
The Rev. James Cunningham, in a 0
pleasing address, conveyed the | J
greetings of the Middletown Minis- \
terial Association and spoke of the | f
fine co-operation of all the religious | i
bodies without regard to denomina- V
tional lines. j
The Rev. Dr. Singmaster, presi- T
dent of the Gettysburg Theological £
Seminary, was an unexpected guest j
and was urged to say a word. Al- *
ways a popular speaker, he delight- i
ed the large audience with some in
teresting reminiscences of Middle
town folk and pointed out the re
sponsibility of the Sunday school in
this crucial hour of the nation's
trial. It was a patriotic appeal to be |
I steadfast in support of the principles
upon which the government rests.
Mr. Gerberich also called out of
the audience Croll Keller, of Har
risburg, a grandson of John Croll,
who extended in a thoughtful ad
dress the greetings of the Zion Lu-
I theran Church, the school of which
he is superintendent and which was
organized by the Rev. Dr. J. G.
Lochman about the same time the
same beloved pastor established St. I
Peter's school here in 1819.
A beautiful closing incident was '
the presentation of large baskets of |
I flowers by the superintendent in be
half of the school to Miss Elizabeth I
Croll, who for more than sixty years 1
has been a worker in the juvenile
department and also to her sister,
Anna M. Croll, for more than fifty
years school treasurer.
The present officers of this famous
Sunday school are: Honorary super

X FOR SHERIFF
V J. CLYDE MYTON
JSf —— The present-day
aJr VOTTR TYPE sheriff of the East
■ OF SHERIFF ls not a dro °P ,n
Clr x 1 mustached, somber
shooter about on his hip, fierce of eye and
-MEjmIEJ stern of countenance. Less and less has he
bet.ii called upon to head deputies in put
ting down disorder. He has become rather
"*• an administrative officer and yet after all
he is the county's police commander.
For such a dual role, the occupant must
H possess sanity and intelligence, as well as courage and alertness. In
I these respects, the candidacy of J. Clydo Myton deserves to engage
II the attention of the voter.
Mr. Myton is one of those calm men who knows little of the
B feeling of excitement. His composure, as a sheriff, would be of very
B definite value should conditions develop in which men lose their bal-
B ance. Dauphin County has been spared such moments yet there
g may come times here as elsewhere when a determined, just and
|| couragous official was order's greatest safeguard. Neither the hot-
Si head of youth nor the senility of years are desirable in such a place
Ein such times.
In purely administrative matters Mr. Myton has a record that
commends itself. For years the success of the city's annual auto
mobile shows hus been due largely to his management and direction.
As secretary of the Motor Club of Harrisburg he has helped make
es that organization the vigorous supportf r of better roads and the
H vigilant detective of violations of the law whether that violation has
fj been the motorist or the public official excessively fond of his fees.
In tho.many annual outings for orphans, which the club gives, Mr.
Myton has taken the initiative and the responsibility.
This same ability Mr. Myton gladly offered to the Nation during
the war. In Liberty Bond campaigns he was the ofTlce director
giving virtually all his time to the work and manifesting a capacity
for labor that contributed much to the success of these drives in
this community.
These are resources which a people, seeking efficient public ser
vice, should expect and be glad to find in its candidates. Mr. Myton
S 1 has them. He offers them to the people in no small sense of covet
ousness for the office of sheriff but as part of the same spirit in
which he tendered himself to the Nation and the other public inter
ests with which he is affiliated. Such a man cannot Justly be
I brushed aside for partisan or other reasons.
