Book Description

Excerpt from History of the Evangelical Lutheran Church of Georgetown, D. C: Wisconsin Ave;& Volta Place, N. W., Washington, District of Columbia, 1769-1909 "The Lutheran church in this country is of very great power numerically and through the intelligence and thrift of its members, but it will grow steadily to even greater power. It is destined to be one of the two or three greatest churches and most important national churches in the United States; one of the two or three churches most distinctly American, among the forces that are to tell for making this great country even greater in the future. Therefore, a peculiar load of responsibility rests upon the members of this church." About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
