History of the Alleghany Evangelical Lutheran synod of Pennsylvania, together with a topical handbook of the Evangelical Lutheran church, its ancestry, origin and development . er 2, 1913, at which time heresigned to accept a call to Norfolk, Va. During his incum-bency the church increased steadily in membership and becamefirmly established. From the time of Dr. McCauleys resignationuntil February 18, 1914, the church was without a regular pastor,but on that date a call was extended to the present pastor. H. Krumbine, then a senior student at Gettysburg Theological396 GRACE, ALTO ON A Seminary. The call was accepted by Rev. Krumbine on February28, 1914, although he was unable to assume full charge untilafter his graduation in June. Rev. Krumbine is a most energetic pastor and is much belovedby the entire congregation. Under his leadership the member-ship is united and working enthusiastically for the good of thechurch. At the beginning of Rev. Krumbines pastorate thechurch still had a debt of about $20,000, which is being reducedby a nice sum each year. During last year ( [916), $1,500 waspaid, and a like amount will also be paid this year. The church. MR. J. P. Pa. site, however, is valued at $75,000, and is growing in value yearby year, so the matter of the debt is not impressive and is nocause for concern from the church officers.
