Hoffman, Elmer Bartholomew and Clinton Newhard, to recommend a pastor. The committee visited Rev. Stoudt in his home at Emaus, Pa., and prevailed upon him to supply their pulpit, to which he consented. After he had preached before the congregation, they by a vote, instructed the consistory to issue a call to him. He accepted the call and moved into the parsonage February 8, 1911. He was formally installed March 1, 1911. Rev. O. S. Frantz, of Easton, preached the installation sermon; Rev. M. N. George delivered the charge to the congregation, and Rev. David Scheirer conducted the services. On October 15, 1908, he was united in holy wedlock with Elizabeth A. DeLong. This union is blessed with one son, John Joseph.

CHEERFUL WORKERS.
The Cheerful Workers usually spoken of as the Mission Band, meets every Saturday afternoon during the scholastic year. Its exercises consist of devotional services and missionary in struction, which is followed by plain and fancy sewing. It also gives a yearly entertainment and holds an occasional social. From these entertainments and the sale of their work a neat sum of money is obtained. Their benevolent and congregational con- tributions which since May 1911 amount to $315.00, are evidence for their industry and devotion. The present officers are: Presi- dent, Mrs. Aquilla Guth; Vice President, Mrs. Lydia Miller ; Secretary, Helen Behringer and Treasurer, Mrs. Sadie Marsh.
The Cheerful Workers were originally under the name of the Willing Workers in 1895, at the suggestion of Rev. W. R. Hofford, D. D. The object was purely benevolent. The first officers were Olivia Stem, Mary Albright, Gertrude Nagle and Amanda Nicholas. They like the Sunday School used to meet in the school house. Upon the completion of the basement of the church in December, 1897, they removed to it. A constitution making them an integral part of the congregation was adopted and the name changed to the Cheerful Workers. The first officers under the new constitution were: President, Clara Koch; Vice President, Mary Albright ; Secretary, Hattie Hartman ; Treasurer, Minnie Borger.
LADIES' AUXILLARY OF THE PHOEBE DEACONESS AND OLD FOLKS HOME.
Northampton Chapter, No. 11, of the Ladies' Auxillary of the Phoebe Deaconess and Old Folks Home is a purely benovo- lent society. It is interested in maintainance and welfare of the Phoebe Deaconess and Old Folks Home at Allentown, Pa. It was organized at the close of the Sunday evening service, May 14, 1911, with fourteen members. The following officers were then chosen : President, Mrs. Israel Edelman; Vice President, Mrs. Dr. A. H. Laros; Secretary, Mrs. Rev. J. B. Stoudt, and Treasurer, Mrs. E. O. Reyer. The auxiliary meets monthly at the home of one of the members. It holds an annual Fastnacht Social.

YOUNG PEOPLE'S SOCIETY.
The Catechumens of the congregation hold a yearly re- union on New Year's eve. These reunions usually consist of a lit- erary program followed by a social hour. At the re-union Dec. 30, 1911, sentiment for a Young People's Society crystallized and a resolution for organization was unanimously adopted. The following officers were chosen: President, Herbert Werner; `Vice President, Claude Troxell; Secretary, Hattie Newhard, and Treasurer, Tilghman Rupp. Though this is the youngest organ- ization of the church it has already made its influence felt in the life of the congregation.

FIFTEEN YEARS OF GRACE
Retrospect
Fifteen years of Grace lie behind the present congregation. These years are past, they have become history. They were the formative period of the congregation. Like in the life of a person the period in which habits are formed. The congrega- tion has always manifested a beautiful, devotional, benevolent and missionary spirit. Never were its representatives sent to Classis without the apportionment paid in full; neither were the orphans nor the aged forgotten. Every benevolent object of the church has been recognized and supported. This beau- tiful spirit of devotion and charity is full of promise for the future.
A note of sadness, however, runs through these annals of but brief span of time. Not a few of those who helped to es- tablish this congregation have gone to their eternal reward. And what better thing after all can one do than to live and to labor and to die for Christ, who lived and labored and died for us. Kingdoms and empires may rise and fall and like the fabric of a vision leave no rock behind; but the church of Jesus Christ outlives all the strange mutations of time. At the ap- proaching anniversary of the laying of the corner stone of this, our church home, for which these pages have been prepared, let us renew our vows which bind us to Him who is the corner- stone of our faith, even Jesus Christ, and let us manifest, through the coming years, yea unto our dying hour, our heart- felt gratitude for the salvation that is ours through faith in Him "who has delivered us from all our own sins and miseries," and "makes all things work together for our salvation and eternal happiness." Trusting that we shall be led to further manifesta- tions of his grace and mercy, until we all meet in the general assembly of the first born on high where,
"The saints of all ages in harmony meet,
Their Saviour and brethren transported to greet,
While anthems of rapture unceasingly roll,
And the smile of the Lord is the feast of the soul."

FIFTEEN YEARS OF GRACE
Sunday School
GRACE UNION PROTESTANT SUNDAY SCHOOL.
Through the efforts of Rev. Hiram Kuder, a Sunday School was again organized with P. N. Remmel and Frank Roethline, Superintendents, and E. J. Bernhardt, Acting Superintendent. It met like the previous Sunday School, in the public school build- ing. Its first session was held on August 30, 1896. The name adopted was Grace Union Protestant Sunday School. Upon the completion of the basement of the church the school occupied it. The Sunday School continued union until February 5, 1903, when a committee of two from Trinity Lutheran Sunday School met with a similar committee from Grace school in the basement and divided the property of the school. With this meeting Grace Union Protestant Sunday School of Northampton passed into history.
GRACE REFORMED SUNDAY SCHOOL.
The Sunday School which met in the basement on February 25, 1903, adopted a new constitution, which made it an integral part of the congregation, and changed the name to The Sunday School Association of Grace Reformed Congregation. W. J. Lerch, who had been elected superintendent for 1903, continued to serve until January 1, 1905, when Wilson J. Troxell became his successor. Mr. Troxell was superintendent for a period of seven and one-half years. Upon his resigning his brother, Claude J. Troxell, the present incumbent, was chosen.
