Excerpt: ...Church at Reading, of which he was for many years a member.'' The following gentlemen were appointed the committee: Messrs. Welsh, Magraw, Frazer, Dohnert and Espy, but, like many.other resolutions passed in conventions, it was never done. A monument, suitably inscribed, covers his grave in the Charles Evans Cemetery, he being the first of Trinity's pastors who died and was buried at Reading. CHAPTER XII. 1829-1841. 1Re. Jacob /nMller, 3D. 3D. When it became known, in 1828, that Dr. Muhlenberg had tendered his resignation as pastor of Trinity Church, many names were suggested for the place he so long occupied. Among these were some of the most prominent ministers of the Lutheran Church in this country, residing in New York and Maryland, as well as in Pennsylvania. But the man upon whom most eyes were fixed was Rev. Jacob Miller, pastor of the churches in and around Falkner Swamp, in Montgomery county, and president of the Ministerium. When the position was first offered to him, he declined it, preferring to remain in the field he had so long served, and which included the Goshenhoppen congregation, in which he had been reared. Extended correspondence between him and Rev. Dr. Muhlenberg followed, in which Reading was aided by Mr. Miller's wife, who was desirous he should move to Reading, and he finally consented to come, provided Dr. Muhlenberg would continue as pastor until the following May, as he was unwilling to make the change before that date. Dr. Muhlenberg consented to this, and a formal call was written, dated January 15,1829, and sent to him. As its language is almost identical with that given to Mr. Muhlenberg in 1803, we need not give it in full. It was a sign of the times that in neither 156 REV. JACOB MILLER. of these calls...

Book The History of Trinity Lutheran Church  Reading  Pa

Download or read book The History of Trinity Lutheran Church Reading Pa written by Jacob Fry and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-06-28 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The History of Trinity Lutheran Church, Reading, Pa On Trinity Sunday of this year, 1894, Trinity Lutheran congregation of Reading, Pa., celebrates the one hundredth anniversary of the completion and consecration of its venerable church edifice. Much already has been done in preparation for that celebration. The magnificent Memorial Chapel, erected in 1891-92 by William A. Arnold and Samuel H. Kutz, is a memorial not only of their parents but also of this event. This was followed by a complete renovation of the church itself by the congregation, including the rebuilding of the steeple, new memorial windows, altar, lectern and other articles of church furniture, a new gallery front, and general improvements. For some time I have thought the best memorial, and possibly the most useful and enduring of all, would be the writing and publication of a history of the congregation. The present building is a century old, but the congregation's history goes back to 1751. It is, therefore, one of the oldest, as well as one of the largest and most important of the Lutheran congregations in America. With the exception of several newspaper articles, written by the late H. H. Muhlenberg, M. D., and published in the Missionary in 1857-58, its history has never been written. When I began the search four months ago for material for this history, I expected to find a very limited supply, but as the search proceeded, I was surprised and delighted to find how abundant it was.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The History of Trinity Lutheran Church, Reading, Pa Fortunately before the late Rev. Dr. Mann became disabled by illness, it was suggested to the Vestry that they employ him to secure for us copies of all correspondence, items and facts he had discovered, in preparing his Notes to the Halle reports, which re ferred to this congregation and its pastors. Dr. Mann undertook the task, and three years ago put into the writer's hands the results of his work. Both were surprised at the amount of material he found, especially among the letters of Henry Melchior Muhlenberg. These letters will give to this history an interest and value beyond our own congregation, and add new lustre to the character and wisdom of that eminent man.

Book The Creation of the British Atlantic World

Download or read book The Creation of the British Atlantic World written by Elizabeth Mancke and published by JHU Press. This book was released on 2015-10-15 with total page 409 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Was the British Atlantic shaped more by imperial rivalries or by the actions of subnational groups with a variety of economic, social, and religious agendas? The Creation of the British Atlantic World analyzes the interrelationship between these competing explanations for the development of the British Atlantic by examining migration patterns on both the macro and micro level. It also scrutinizes the roles played by trade, religion, ethnicity, and class in linking Atlantic borders and the increasingly complicated legal, intellectual and emotional relationship between the British sovereign and colonial charterholders. Contributors include Joyce E. Chaplin, John E. Crowley, David Barry Gaspar, April Lee Hatfield, James Horn, Ray A. Kea, Elizabeth Mancke, Philip D. Morgan, William M. Offutt, Robert Olwell, Carole Shammas, Wolfgang Splitter, Mark L. Thompson, Karin Wulf, Avihu Zakai.

Book  Rememb ring Our Time and Work is the Lords

Download or read book Rememb ring Our Time and Work is the Lords written by Karen Guenther and published by Susquehanna University Press. This book was released on 2005 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pennsylvania's role in the development of American culture and society has received an increasing amount of attention in the past two decades, as the tercentenary celebrations of the founding of the province led to a reexamination of the colony and state's contributions to the ethnic and religious diversity of modern America. With increasing pluralism, however, the religious group that was most prominent in the establishment of the province - the Society of Friends, or Quakers - declined in its impact and importance.

Download or read book Hessians written by Friederike Baer and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2022 with total page 529 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Between 1776 and 1783, Britain hired an estimated 30,000 German soldiers to fight in its war against the Americans. Collectively known as Hessians, they actually came from six German territories within the Holy Roman Empire. Over the course of the war, members of the German corps, including women and children, spent extended periods of time in locations as dispersed and varied as Canada in the North to West Florida and Cuba in the South. They shared in every significant British military triumph and defeat. Thousands died of disease, were killed in battle, were captured by the enemy, or deserted. Collectively, they recorded their experiences and observations of the war they fought in, the land they traversed, and the people they encountered in a large body of letters, diaries, and similar private and official records. Friederike Baer presents a study of Britain's war against the American rebels from the perspective of the German soldiers, a people uniquely positioned both in the midst of the war and at its margins. The book offers a ground-breaking reimagining of this watershed event in world history.

Book Urban Reform and Sexual Vice in Progressive Era Philadelphia

Download or read book Urban Reform and Sexual Vice in Progressive Era Philadelphia written by James H. Adams and published by Lexington Books. This book was released on 2015-07-01 with total page 213 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines the intersection and interplay between Progressive-Era rhetoric regarding commercialized vice and the realities of prostitution in early-twentieth-century Philadelphia. Arguing that any study of commercial sexual vice in a historical context is difficult given the paucity of evidence, this work instead focuses on reformers’ construction of a cultural view of prostitution, which Adams argues was based more upon their perceptions of the trade than on reality itself. Looking at the urban core of the city, Progressive reformers saw vice, immorality, and decay—but as they frequently had little face-to-face interaction with prostitutes plying their trade, they were forced to construct culturally fueled archetypes to explain what they believed they saw. Ultimately, reformers in Philadelphia were battling against a rhetorical creation of their own design, and any study of anti-vice reform in the early twentieth century tells us more about the relationship between activists and the government than it does about vice itself.
