Rev. John Timothy Kühl,
of Franklin County, Pa., commenced to visit the members of the church in Sherman's Valley, and in 1790 he moved among them and became their first regular pastor. In an old document be- longing to the congregation at Loysville, it is said : "In the year of our Lord 1790, the Germans in Sherman's Valley secured the Evangelical Lutheran minister, the Rev. John Timotheus Kühl, as their pastor." The late Mr. George Fleisher, of Saville Town- ship, who died in 1855, aged eighty-four years, when nineteen years old with a team moved Rev. Kühl's family and effects from Franklin County to this Valley. Rev. Kühl resided near where Loysville is now located. From the above documentary notice, we infer that he visited and preached to the members scattered at various places in the whole Valley. Before the erection of Leba- non Church at Loysville, he preached in barns and private dwell- ings at different places in that neighborhood. Encouraged by a minister living in their midst, and united in their desires and efforts, the members proceeded, in 1794, to build a house of wor- ship, which they denominated,-
LEBANON CHURCH.
This church edifice was erected on a piece of ground containing two acres and forty-two perches, donated for church and school purposes by Martin Bernheisel and Michael Loy, both of whom were members of the Lutheran Church. Subscriptions by the members towards the erecting of the edifice were generally paid in lumber, labor, &c. The building was of large and choice pine

logs, which were all hauled together on a set day by those mem- bers who had teams. Mr. Zachariah Rice (grandfather of Henry Rice, Esq., of Bloomfield, and others of that name) arrived early in the morning with a fine pine log, which he had cut at what was called " The Barrens," above Mr. J. Bixler's mill in Madison Township. Mr. Rice intended to have the first log on the ground, as this was in those days esteemed a great feat ; but to his sur- prise, when he arrived, he found that he was anticipated by Mr. Abraham Bower, who had brought a log part of the way on the previous evening. This was, however, considered unfair on the part of the latter. As near as can be ascertained, the church was forty feet long by thirty feet wide. Messrs. Michael Loy, George Hammer, and Peter Scheively, were the Building Committee, and John Calhoun did the carpenter work. The building stood for some years in an unfinished state, during which time the congre- gation managed to worship in it occasionally. The gallery was then erected on three sides, the roof was ceiled inside with boards, the walls were plastered inside, and a small, cup-shaped pulpit was put up against the wall on a post about five feet high. The pulpit was painted white, and ascended by a high flight of steps. The church was, in 1808, weather-boarded and painted white. Hence it was afterwards generally called " The White Church." " This church was built by some thirty Lutheran families, and two or three German Reformed. The Lutherans were, however, so generous as to give their Reformed brethren an equal right to it." In 1850, this old church edifice was sold (the pews ex- cepted) to Mr. J. B. Zimmerman for eighty-three dollars.
A short time after the church had been built, a large school- house was erected on the same lot of ground and near the church. A partition divided the school-house inside, and a large chimney occupied the centre. One end of the house was occupied by the teacher and his family, and the other by the school. For many years a sort of congregational school was kept here. Schools of this kind were common in those days, and it is to be regretted that each congregation has not such a school in our days.
Two or three persons were buried on this lot of church-ground

before old Lebanon Church was built. After the erection of the church, a portion of ground was appropriated for a graveyard, where the gray fathers and founders of the church, their children, and children's children, and many others, now rest in hope. Since then the graveyard has been enlarged several times.
Rev. Kühl served this congregation and some other preaching places in the Valley till about 1796. Beside the erecting of the church, we are, for want of information, unable to say what suc- cess attended his ministry, or where he labored after he left Sherman's Valley. In 1797, the congregation was supplied with preaching by the
Rev. John Herbst,
pastor of the Lutheran Church at Carlisle, who preached here once every four weeks, and also occasionally at a number of other places in the Valley. He is said to have been a good man, though not an able preacher. In 1798, the following persons were con- firmed by him at Loysville or Lebanon Church :
John Arnold,
William Cooney,
Margaret Steidel,
Solomon Bower,
Benjamin Rice,
Magdalene Steidel,
Jacob Bower, William Brickley,
Sarah Borrel,
Charles Smith, Jacob Miller, Susan Miller,
John Cooney, John Miller,
-
- Lübkey,
Daniel Cooney,
George Gottschall,
- Lübkey.
Henry Cooney, Benjamin Moses,
The above names Mr. Jacob Arnold gave from memory, and he thinks that Mr. Solomon Bower and himself are the only sur- vivors of those who were then admitted to full communion in the church. In 1801, Rev. Herbst resigned at Carlisle, and was suc- ceeded there, in 1802, by
'Rev. Frederick Sanno,
who preached at Loysville once every four weeks, and occasion- ally at some other points in Sherman's Valley. He was highly esteemed by the members, and very successful in his labors. As this was the only congregation that had at that time a church and

enjoyed regular preaching, the members all around for many miles came to Lebanon Church to worship. To give an idea of the strength of the congregation, and to show who the members were at that time, we will subjoin the names of the catechumens and communicants. This list of the names of members may be in- teresting to those now living. It is to be regretted that no other entry of admissions by confirmation or of communicants was made till 1850. On the 25th of March, 1804, the Rev. Sanno con- firmed the following fifty-one persons :
Adam Scheder,

The whole number of communicants was, at this time, one hundred and forty-one. Making due allowance for many who could not attend, as is usual on such occasions, and considering the sparseness of the population, we perceive at once, that the Lutheran portion of the population was large at that early day. With few exceptions, all the above-named persons have gone to the eternal world, though the descendants of most of them are still members of Lebanon Church, or some other Lutheran con- gregation in the county. Rev. Sanno met another class of cate- chumens, for instruction in the doctrines of the Christian religion, and on Sunday, the 2d of November, 1806, the following fifty- three persons were admitted to full communion, by the rite of con- firmation :

In the spring of 1808, another large class of catechumens was admitted to full communion by confirmation. Their names can not be remembered. This was the last class confirmed here by Rev. Sanno, who ceased his ministry in Sherman's Valley in 1809.
Whilst Rev. Sanno was pastor at Loysville, the congregation flourished, and may be said to have enjoyed a glorious revival of religion. About one hundred and fifty new members were added to the church by him. He lectured on the Catechism diligently, and with great unction from on high. For weeks he met the catechumens daily, instructing and exhorting them, and singing and praying with them. Often they were all bathed in tears, some asking what they must do to be saved, whilst others re- joiced in a sense of pardoned sin, and acceptance with God by faith through Jesus Christ. Those were precious seasons of re- freshing from the Lord, and those who participated in them speak of them at this day with rapture and holy delight. We have met with aged persons, who were then catechumens, and who can now scarcely find language to describe the interesting scene, and deep feeling, on days of confirmation, when all the catechumens were publicly examined on the doctrines of our holy Christianity as set forth in our Catechism, and when the pastor and congrega-

tion, on bended knees, united in fervently imploring Almighty God to bless them, and keep them unto eternal life,-when, in a standing posture, all united in singing with full heart and voice : Komm, O komm, du Geist des lebens, wahrer Gott von ewigkeit ! and when the young men first, two by two, proceeded to the altar, paid their vows, and, on bended knees, covenanted with God, and received the benediction of the pastor ; and then, also two by two, the young females, all dressed in white, came forward, and before men and angels witnessed a good profession, and received the right hand of Christian fellowship. Whilst the catechumens were con- firmed, a verse was sung, or a prayer offered at intervals, so that the interest of the occasion was sustained for hours, and tears of sorrow for sin, and of joy in the Holy Ghost, bedewed every face.
"'Twas the same pleasure fills The breast of worlds above ; Where joy, like morning dew, distils, And all the air is love."
Rev. John Frederick Osterloh
Succeeded Rev. Sanno in 1809. Whilst pastor of the Lutheran congregations in Sherman's Valley, Rev. Osterloh resided on a small tract of land of his own, in Saville Township, now belonging to Mr. Henry Fleisher. He preached regularly once every four weeks at Loysville, Bloomfield, St. Peter's in Spring Township, in Fishing Creek Valley at private dwellings, and, it may be, at some other places in the Valley occasionally. At that time all the territory in Perry County, west of the Juniata, was included in his charge. He confined himself only to a part of this terri- tory, whilst the other part was supplied by men who stood in no connection with Synod. Though Rev. Osterloh confirmed, at different times, large classes of catechumens at Loysville, for want of a church-record their names cannot now be given. This is to be regretted.
In June, 1811, Mr. C. Geiger, of Fishing Creek, as lay dele- gate of the charge, accompanied Rev. Osterloh to Synod, held at Philadelphia, Pa. At this convention of Synod, Rev. Osterloh
3*

CHURCHES BETWEEN THE MOUNTAINS,
reported 65 infant baptisms, 137 communicants, 45 confirmations, 6 deaths, and 2 schools.
In May, 1812, Synod convened at Carlisle, Pa. Mr. Peter Moses, of the congregation at Loysville, took his seat in Synod as delegate from the charge. This time Rev. Osterloh reported 62 infant baptisms, 30 confirmations, 115 communicants, 11 fu- nerals, and 4 schools. In the proceedings of this session of Synod, we find the following action : " As to the petition of the congre- gation at the school-house near Carlisle (Sulphur Spring ?), asking Synod to permit Rev. Sanno to serve them as pastor. This eon- gregation was advised to secure the ministerial service of Rev. Osterloh ; and, at the same time, the petition of the congregation at Longsdorff's (near Mechanicsburg), and of that on the Cono- doguinett, praying that Rev. Osterloh may serve them as pastor, was granted." From this it appears that Rev. Osterloh did not confine himself to Sherman's Valley. The members in this Valley became dissatisfied with him. They alleged, and justly, too, that he neglected them.
At the meeting of Synod, held at Reading, Pa., in June, 1813, Rev. Osterloh reported 89 infant baptisms, 61 confirmations, 264 communicants, 7 deaths, and 4 schools. This report included the two or three congregations he served in Cumberland Valley.
In the minutes of Synod, held at Easton, in June, 1814, it is said : "In regard to the petition from the members of Zion's Church, in Mifflin Township, Cumberland County, praying Synod to allow Rev. Osterloh to serve them in connection with his other congregations, it was Resolved, That this petition be cheerfully granted." Thus, instead of devoting all his time and energies to the building up of the congregations in Sherman's Valley, Rev. Osterloh neglected them very much. Hence, most of the mem- bers were dissatisfied with him, and he accomplished little or no good among them. In this state of alienation, early in the spring of 1815, some of the members belonging to the Loysville con- gregation invited Rev. Heim to preach for them. Rev. Heim had received license at Easton, Pa., on the 8th of June, 1814, and was now residing near Mifflintown, Juniata County. It seems
31
CHAPTER I.
that he yielded to the request of the people at Loysville, and that they were all highly pleased with him and his preaching. Against all this, Rev. Osterloh protested as unwarranted interference. Thus, in the minutes of Synod, held at Frederick, Md., in May, 1815, it is stated : "No. 7 is a letter from Rev. Osterloh, in which he complains of the interference of Rev. Heim with one of his congregations ; also a letter from the members of that congrega- tion, praying that Rev. Heim may be permitted to serve them as pastor." The committee appointed to adjust this difficulty, re- ported as follows : "Respecting the congregation in Sherman's Valley, your committee is of the opinion that it would be best were Rev. Heim to accept a call from it and serve it as pastor. On motion, Synod authorized Rev. Heim to take charge of said con- gregation."
In the summer of 1815, Rev. Osterloh moved to Mechanics- burg, Cumberland County, and according to resolution of Synod, the
Rev. John William Heim,
then residing near Mifflintown, Juniata County, became the re- gular pastor of the congregation at Loysville, in May, 1815. In his journal of ministerial acts, Rev. Heim says : "On the 18th of June, 1815, I preached the first time at Lebanon Church, from Matt. 9 : 13, and baptized an infant." He preached here regu- larly once every four weeks, and visited occasionally other con- gregations in Sherman's Valley. At St. Michael's Church, in Foutz's Valley, at Liverpool, and at the church near New Buffalo, all in Perry County, he commenced preaching in June, 1814 ; at Loysville in May, 1815; and in June, 1816, other congregations were added to these. Thus, in the minutes of Synod, held in Philadelphia, Pa., in June, 1816, it is said : “No. 1 is a letter from Sherman's Valley, in which the members of the congrega- tion in Toboyne Township (at Blain) request that they, besides other congregations, may be served by the Rev. Candidate Heim. On motion, Resolved, That Rev. Heim have permission to accept a call from these congregations." Rev. Heim was thus, by Synod,
32
CHURCHES BETWEEN THE MOUNTAINS.
constituted the regular pastor of the congregation at Blain, Bloom- field, and St. Peter's, in Spring Township, in June, 1816; in short, he was now pastor of all the Lutheran congregations in Perry County, except the congregation in Fishing Creek Valley, in relation to which, in the minutes of the same session of Synod, we find the following action : " No. 11 is a petition of the con- gregation in Sherman's Valley, Rye Township, in which the pe- titioners pray Synod to send them a minister. Resolved, That the pastor residing at Carlisle take charge of this congregation." The Rev. Benjamin Keller, of Carlisle, soon after united this congregation with his charge, and served it for a number of years successfully.
The charge of Rev. Heim, from this time till 1828, embraced Mifflin County, Juniata County, and nearly the whole of Perry County ; and he must have preached for twelve or more regularly organized congregations, and visited occasionally some six or more preaching stations. To all these congregations he preached about once every four weeks in the German language, often on week days, and sometimes in the evening. He was never idle, and al- most always from home, following up his appointments from day to day. In 1816, he reported at Synod 170 infant baptisms, 107 confirmations, 578 communicants, 14 funerals, and 3 schools. This report included the congregations he served in Mifflin and Juniata Counties.
Under the pastoral supervision of Rev. Heim, the congregation at Loysville prospered exceedingly, especially up to about 1840. It is a matter of sincere regret that no church-records were kept here during his long and successful ministry. It is said that he made an entry of baptisms, confirmations, &c., for his own private use ; but unfortunately, after his death, nearly all his manuscript papers were scattered, torn to pieces, used for wrapping paper, and otherwise destroyed. His sermons in manuscript, of which there was a large number, went to ruin in the same way .* Hence,
* So far as we know anything to the contrary, the only manuscript papers, from the hand of Rev. Heim, that were saved, were furnished us by his brother, Mr. J. George Heim, and consist of fifty-two skeletons of sermons, a journal

we are wholly dependent for dates, names, and all other informa- tion, on the frail memories of the aged. Rev. Heim usually cate- chized once every three or four years, and then the young people came together from great distances all around, and the classes of catechumens were very large. The names of not one-third of those he confirmed at this place can now be remembered, nor is the time of their confirmation in all cases certain.
Rev. Heim says : "On the 16th of October, 1815, I catechized the young people at Lebanon Church." And afterwards he says : " On the 9th of December, 1815, at Lebanon Church, I held the preparatory exercises with the catechumens and mem- bers."

In his journal, Rev. Heim says : "On the 12th of February, 1817, I baptized two infants at Lebanon Church, and commenced catechizing a class of catechumens." Afterwards he adds : " On Sunday, the 6th of April, 1817, at Lebanon Church, I confirmed the catechumens, administered the Lord's Supper, and baptized four infants." This was the second class of catechumens he con-

At the meeting of Synod in June, 1819, at Baltimore, Md., Rev. Heim was permanently ordained as a minister of the Gospel. At this time he reported 8 congregations, 246 infant baptisms, 83 confirmations, 507 communicants, 17 funerals, and 8 schools. This report included the congregations he served in Juniata and Mifflin Counties, though not the preaching stations, of which he visited as many, perhaps more, than he had regularly organized congregations.
In the spring of 1821 (?), Rev. Heim confirmed at Loysville a class of seventy-one catechumens. The following persons are some of them :
