with Wittenberg Synod the same year. It was placed in the care of the pastor of the Leipsic charge, to provide such service as might be in his power to give. After a year's trial he found it impossible to serve it with satisfaction and declined to continue. Synod then placed it in the care of the Advisory Board of Home Missions. The services of Rev. F. C. Longaker of Continental were secured as a supply, for a short time. It was then placed in care of the pastor at Continental for a time.
This arrangement continued for about ten years, and after continued vacancy was dropped from the list in 1913.
St. Luke's Evangelical Lutheran Church, North Baltimore, Ohio
The organization of St. Luke's congregation was the result of previous interest, prayer and faithful work of a number of friends of the Lutheran Church in and adjacent to this community. The first of these in unceasing effort and prayer was Mr. G. F. Hilleary. He first sought out those of the community who were of Lutheran faith and name and inspired in them the hope and desire for a church of their choice. Several services were conducted in the early summer of 1896, by the Rev. H. Knodle but no special in- terest was developed and they were discontinued. In the autumn of this same year, Rev. S. E. Greenawalt then President of Wittenberg Synod and pastor of the First Lutheran Church of Findlay, Ohio, made several visits to North Baltimore and carefully looked over the field. Public services were arranged in

HISTORY OF THE WITTENBERG SYNOD
Henry's Opera House for December 13th. Rev. Greenawalt preached both morning and evening and held a conference at the close of the service with all who were interested in the organization of a Lu- theran Church in North Baltimore. The number re- maining was not large, but sufficient interest was manifested to arrange for a series of Sunday services at which neighboring Lutheran pastors were invited to preach. To this invitation Revs. Sigmund, Minter, Kayhoe, Ernsberger, and Greenawalt and students Rangeler, Leader, and Uhl of Wittenberg Seminary responded with one or more sermons. On or about the 18th of May, 1897, arrangements were made, with student B. B. Uhl of Wittenberg Seminary to take charge of the work. There was at this time 110 definite amount promised or pledged for his support, but there was mutual confidence that sufficient sup- port would be secured. A hall was rented and fur- nished, Sabbath-school conducted and regular services were held and God gave the increase. Sunday, July 25, 1897, on invitation of Rev. B. B. Uhl, Rev. S. E. Greenawalt was present and preached the sermon and effected the formal organization of the new con- gregation with 35 members. The constitution and Formula of Government provided by the General Synod was adopted and the name "St. Luke's," chosen for the local congregation. Election of officers then followed resulting in the choice of the following : Elders: G. F. Hilleary, and Benj. Lees ; Deacons : Frank Goldener, and J. L. Gregory. They were in- stalled according to the Formula of the Church and entered upon their respective duties at once. Services were faithfully maintained by the Rev. B. B. Uhl

and the doctrines and usages of the Lutheran Church carefully followed. He continued as pastor until June 30, 1899, at which time he resigned to return to Wit- tenberg Seminary to complete his theological studies. Rev. E. Minter accepted a call and took up the work July 1, 1899, and under his faithful pastorate the beautiful church edifice was built at a cost of $5,000. He remained with this people until the church debt was entirely paid. In the work of the building the con- gregation was assisted by Wittenberg Synod, the Boards of Home Missions and Church Extension. Following is a list of charter members: G. T. Hil- leary and Miss Jane R. Hilleary, Frank and Miss Ella Goldener, Mrs. Mary E. Douglas, Mrs. Kate Hoff- man, Mrs. Anna E. Matteson, Mrs. Mary Ann Adams, Miss Laura F. Adams, Miss Elsie A. Adams, Miss Ida M. Karn, Miss Christine Woesener, Miss Dorothy Wolford, Miss Minnie Sheets, Mrs. Lottie McMahann, Mr. and Mrs. Reuben Shoemaker, Mrs. Eliza E. Wil- son, Benj. Lees, J. L. Gregory, C. P. Jones, Mrs. F. R. Ward, Mrs. S. Leffler, Mrs. Mary Hoefler, Mrs. Chas. Hoefler, Mrs. Laura Vogelsong, Geo. Etter, Francis Hill, Miss Anna Hill, Henry and Mrs. Char- lotte Wittenmeyer.
The pastors serving the congregation are as fol- lows: Rev. B. B. Uhl, July 25, 1897-June 30, 1899 : Rev. E. Minter, July 1, 1899-July 1, 1905. During his pastorate a parsonage lot was purchased. He was succeeded Sept. 2, 1905, by Rev. J. H. Straw, a re- turned missionary, who continued his services until May 1, 1907. During his pastorate, the mission be- came self-sustaining. October 1, 1907, Rev. A. B. Garman took charge of the work. During his pas-

torate of four years important improvements were made to the exterior and interior of the church. In 1000 the congregation purchased a parsonage at a cost of $800. Rev. Garman resigned Sept. 1, 191I.
REV. E. P. SCHARF.
After a vacancy of over one year, Dec. 14, 1912, E. P. Scharf, of the Hamma Divinity School, Springfield, ()., was engaged as stated supply until his graduation. On May 1, 1913, when he became the regular pastor.

Sept. 1914, the last of the indebtedness on the par- sonage was paid, placing the congregation entirely free of all debt. The congregation is well organized with active Sunday-school, Young People's Luther Study League, Aid Society and Ladies' Missionary Society. The membership of the congregation is 125. On March 10th, 1916, the congregation pur- chased a fine dwelling two doors north of the church for a parsonage. It is a beautiful two-story building occupying a southwest corner lot. It is one of the most desirable properties in North Baltimore. The old parsonage purchased in 1909 just adjoining the church has been removed, and now a beautiful and spacious lawn graces the church location, reaching from alley to alley.
The entire church property is valued at $9.000.00, there is a small indebtedness being carried by the con- gregation, which is all covered by bona-fide subscrip- tions. This congregation has a fine future for an excellent people and a diligent and efficient pastor.
