Excerpt from A Discourse: Suggested by the Burning of the Old Lutheran Church, on the Night of September 27th, 1854, Delivered in the Evangelical Lutheran Church, Winchester, Va;, The Nineteenth Sunday After Trinity, 1854
Our church was a place fitted for praise. Its arched ceiling did not drink up the voices of those that sung to Jehovah, but increased their volume ah they rose with the trumpet stop of the organ, or mellowed them as they ¿oated on its softer ripples of sound. In simple good taste it stood, offering no pretensions unworthy its builders, no incongruities as an offering to Him to whom they reared it; a fit place for unpretending men to worship in spirit and truth the living God. Its whole air was calculated to impress the mind with reverence, and make men say as they entered: How dreadful is this place this is none other but the house of God, and this is the gate of heaven.
