alternately one Sunday in that church, and ano- 

 ther in this. The firft clergyman which the 

 Lutherans had in this town, was the rev. Mr. 

 Muhlenbergy who laid the foundations of this 

 church in 1743, and being called to another 

 place afterwards, the rev. Mr, Erunholz from 

 Slefwick was his fucceffor, and is yet here. Both 

 thefe Gentlemen were fent to this place from Hall 

 in Saxony, and have been a great advantage to it 

 by their peculiar talent of preaching in an edify- 

 ing manner. A little while before this church 

 was built, the Lutheran Germans had no clergy*- 

 man for themfelves, fo that the every- where be- 

 loved Swedifo, minifter at Weekacko, Mr. Dylan- 

 tier, preached likewife to them. He therefore 

 preached three fermons every Sunday; the firft 

 early in the morning to the Germans ; the fecond 

 to the Swedes; and the third in the afternoon to 

 the Englijh ; and befides this he went all the 

 week into the country and inftrudled the Ger- 

 mans who lived feparately there. He therefore 

 frequently preached fixteen fermons a week. 

 And after his death, which happened in Nwem- 

 ber 1741, the Germans firft wrote to Germany for 

 a clergyman for themielves. This congregation 

 is at prefent very numerous, fo that every Sunday 

 the church is very much crowded. It has two 

 galleries, but no veftry. They do not fing the 

 collects, but read them before the altar.
