Historic Celebration At St. Johns Church Founders Settled in Piedmont Carolina 200 Years Ago.—Has Given Fifteen Sons to the MinH BY B. A. BARRINGER. St. Johns Lutheran Church near Concord, celebrated her 175th anni versary Sunday. All of the speakers on the program were her own sons whom she has sent into the ministry, or former pastors. On Saturday night Itev. C. E. Ridenhotir. of Rojvan |‘ County, presented historical sketches I about this congregation. Near 200 I years ago this section of Cabarrus I County was settled by German fami | lies who came from South Germany and the Palatinate sections of Ger many. These people settled along the water courses of Piedemont Carolina and very early planted their churches and school houses. Their religious faith was Lutheran and Reformed, and for many years they worshipped in the same buildings. The true his tory of those pioneers has never been J written but awaits the coming histor ' inn who will bring to light the strug gles and characteristics of the thous ands of German settlers who chose North Carolina for their home. •St. John’s was organized in 1745 j and has worshipped in five different I church buildings, the fifth of which was erected in 1845, built of brick and ! large enougli to accommodate 700 peo- I pie. In 1771 this congregation, to gether with St. John’s, Salisbury and I Organ Church. Rowan, sent repre sentatives to Germany to secure a pastor and teacher. As a result two I men were sent over from Hanover, these being Neusemau and Andt, whose descendants yet live jn Cabnr > run and Catawba counties. This congregation lias given fifteen sons to the Christian ministry, of whom the writer is the youngest. Stic I I has been served by twenty-four pas tors and is the mother church of sev en congregations all located around j her. The people of St. .John’s have always been liberal givers for all the I causes of the church. The people of this section were largely responsible for the establishment of the two Luth eran schools at Mt. Pleasant. 1 Throughout the years she ‘has been ; the home church of thousands of peo ple. The cemetery contains the dust of near 5,000 people who at different ‘ times were on her church roll. In former years as many as 70 and 80 people were confirmed at one time. She has been the hostess of a number WANTS FEDERAL CONTROL OF THE COAL INDUSTRY President Urged to Support Measure Suggested by Coni Commission. Swampscott, Mass..

Aug. 30.—The Carter street grado crossing just itorth of the passenger station at Reidsville, I where in the past several fatalities have occurred, was literally turned into a slaughter pen tonight about 7 j o’clock when Southern Railway fast i passenger train No. 35, rounding the curve at a rapid rate of speed at that( point crashed into an automobile in which were riding four women and one mnn. Every member of the auto- : mobile party was killed. The dead: Jack Hilliard Carter, age 31, of New York and Reids ville. Mrs. Eugene Irvin,'age 45, wife of Eugene Irvin, cashier of the Citizens Bank here. Mrs. Manton Oliver, age 44, sister of Jack Carter and wife of the pub lisher of the Reidsville Review. Mrs. Lillian L. Oliver, widow of John T. Oliver, of. Reidsville. Mrs. Nina Johnson Cone, of New York and late of Astieville, and cousin of Mrs. Manton Oliver. The accident this evening occurred at the same spot where about two years ago four members of a family named Pillar were killed. Mrs. Irvin wag driving the i)l-fated car, and the party was en route to the station to see Mrs. Cone off on the train en route to New York on the Piedmont Limited which was due about twenty minutes after No. 35. Spectators said the car came to a — ; 1 state or historic meetings. The! lish speaking Lutheran pastor was ordained here in 1794. The organi sation meeting of the North Carolina Synod was held ‘here in 1803, and many synodical meeting- have been held here since. Rev. C. P. Fisher, of Chinn Grove, urged the present day generation to practice frugality, live simply and stand by the schools just as did the founders of Lutheranism in this sec tion. On Sunday morning Rev. M. L. Rid enliour, of Kannapolis, talked on the place of the Sunday school in the church. At the preaching hour Rev. V. C. KMenhour. lof Lincoln ton, preached an inspiring 'sermon on The Church, taking as his text. “Which is the Church of the Living God.” He outlined the origin, power, purpose and results of the church. The church originated in God who- uses it for the upbuilding of His Kingdom. The church, therefore, iias divine author , ity and receives eternal blessings from, its founder. The church acts with power for she says in the name of | Jesus rise and walk. The purpose; of i the church is the preaching and teach ing of the word, which, consists of the Word and Sacraments and which is taught by three agencies, the home, Sunday school nud preaching. The reason why this is not done to a larg er extent is because so many in the church are not in use and are there fore dead. Tile results of the church have been that millions have passed away conscious of salvation in Christ through faith in Him. The present Church lias principles and truth suf ficient to move the world but these truths must be applied to the lives of men to get results. In the afternoon and night other good addresses were made by Rev. B. E. Petrea. of Wil ] mington, Rev. G. O. Ritchie, of Faith, Rev. B. A. Barringer, of Liberty, Rev. E. L. Ritchie, -a pastor in Pennsyl vania. and Dr. J. B. Moose, of Chi cago Theological Seminary and a number of former pastors of the con gregation. Os the fifteen ministers St. Johns has sent out. ten are living and nine were present for the home coming. Rev. Smith Petrea was absent but he preached the sermon at St. John’s last Sunday. n 1 f - u. 1"... .= MRS.
