DAPP (picture), will be installed. The ceremonies will be performed by Rev. LAURY, of Perkasie, President of the Norristown Conference and Dr. SPIEKER, of the Lutheran Theological Seminary, Mt. Airy, Philadelphia. Charles F. DAPP, was born in Harrisburg, on the 4th of July, 1880, where his parents had settled from Wurtenburg, Germany. With his parents he regularly attended the services of the German Zions Evangelical Lutheran church at Harrisburg where he was confirmed on March 26, 1893. Mr. DAPP's preliminary education was received in the Harrisburg public schools having graduated from the grammar department with honor, he entered the Harrisburg High School. Later on he entered Wagner College at Rochester, N.Y., principally to study the German language. He was graduated from this institution in June, 1902, as valedictorian of his class. In the fall of that year he entered the Lutheran Theological Seminary located at Mt. Airy, Philadelphia. Mr. DAPP's first summer vacation after having entered the Seminary, 1903, was spent in serving a congregation in the Pottsville conference and in preaching for different pastors in that district. His next vacation was passed in Lancaster, having received a call from the Mission Church of the Redeemer in that beautiful city. He accepted and engaged in mission work. The congregation which he served is yet too weak to call a pastor, but has now procured a fine piece of ground whereupon they soon expect to erect a small chapel. While at Lancaster, Mr. DAPP also acted as assistant to Rev. John W. RICHARDS, pastor of Christ church. Mr. DAPP completed his Seminary course and graduated with eighteen other young men on the 13th of June, 1905. He has been called to the pastorate of the Sumneytown and Keelor's parish, which for so many years stood under the efficient and capable leadership of the late Rev. W.B. FOX. Mr. DAPP has accepted this call and took charge of the congregation after his ordination in June, which took place in Trinity Church, Lancaster. Rev. DAPP looks forward with great pleasure to the time when he can devote all his energies and strength to the congregations which have elected him, for the Glory of God and to the edification of His faithful people in their great work for salvation.
