CHAPTER VI
THE MILLERSTOWN CHARGE
FOR many years all the congregations between the Susquehanna and Juniata Rivers constituted one charge,--a charge so large that no man could serve with profit to the people or pleasure to himself. Seeing that it was labor lost to travel so large a field, in August, 1860, Rev. Hackenberger resigned Millerstown and the stations on the Juniata and confined his labors afterwards to Liverpool and the congregations more contiguous thereto on the Susquehanna. Thus a vacancy was made on the Juniata, which Synod supplied by the appointment of a missionary on the 6th of July, 1861, when it may be said that the Millerstown charge was properly constituted.
