®r. Stjolpl) s’patri) T HE greatly lamented Dr. Spaeth, whose earthly life came to an end on the 25th of June, 1910, the anniversary of the Augsburg Con- fession, was a member of our Board of Trustees from 1870 to 1882. He was born at Eislingen, South Germany, October 29, 1839. He received his classical training in one of those colleges of Wuerttemburg which are famous for their thoroughness in every department. He stud- ied philosophy and theology in Tuebingen University, where he was graduated with honors in 1861. During the same year he was ordained to the office of the ministry in the Lutheran Church and became assist- ant pastor of a rural parish. After a year’s labor in his native country he accepted an appointment as tutor of the present Duke of Argyll, the husband of Princess Louise of England. In 1863 he came to America and became the assistant of Dr. Mann, senior pastor of Zion’s Church in Philadelphia. From 1867 until the day of his death he was the beloved and justly revered pastor of St. John’s German Church in Philadelphia. In 1873 he became a professor in our Theological Seminary, occupying the chair of New Testament Exegesis and Ethics. He was President of the Ministerium of Pennsylvania as well as of the General Council, for which august body he prepared the Kirchenbuch and the Sonntagschul- buch. He was a contributor to church periodicals and the author of sev- eral valued books, e. g. the Life of Dr. Krauth, his father-in-law. Church music had in him an enthusiastic admirer and promoter. He for twenty- five years was intimately connected with the Deaconess Home and the German Hospital in the City of Brotherly Love. He was a prominent personality in the community and his friends were found throughout the entire country. He was at his best in the pulpit, for he possessed the gift of consecrated eloquence, which drew the hearts of men to him, and of many to the Lord, whose humble servant he has been, 12
