CHAPTER V
HUNTER'S VALLEY PREACHING-STATION

Table of Contents

This is a beautiful valley southeast of Liverpool, stretching away from the west bank of the Susquehanna, in Perry County.  In this valley a number of members reside, who usually attend preaching at Liverpool and constitute a large portion of the congregation there.  But as they have a considerable distance to Liverpool, from 1847 to '51 Rev. W. Weaver preached for them occasionally in a school-house in the valley, and so did Rev. J. W. Hackenberger and Rev. J. H. Davidson does the same at present.  As the number of members is increasing here, a suitable house of worship will be required.  May the kingdom of Christ come and extend from shore to shore!

"Jesus shall reign where'er the sun
Does his successive journeys run;
His kingdom stretch from shore to shore,
Till moons shall wax and wane no more."
