He could have gone to a church in Chi- cago. He went instead to a small country charge at Raritan. Illinois, and remained there five years, laying the foundation of habits of study and writing which remained with him, through life. Part of one oC, these years was spent in Europel pursuing his studies and meeting the We: in Holland. This trip was made possible by his father's trenee- osity. It was while hewas pastor at Raritan that he met Miss Julia Aimee Barnes of Prairie City and won her as his wife. In the letters to his grand- children Dr, Pfanstiehl has written hautifullyof his courtship and of the meaning of their relationship through twenty-seven years. Two years after the marriage he left Raritan for a church at Troy, Missouri, which min- istered to the faculty and students of the State university. The minister was only thirty years of age and he met himself immediately to his im- portant task. While in this pastorate he suffered a breakdown in health which necessitated giving uh all ae- tive work and living in retirement at Holland tor a brief period. With the renewal of health there came three pastorates. " Denver. Colorado, at Shelhyville. Indiana, and at Lafay- ette, lnd'pna. This last was also the site of Purdue university and during his term of service there Dr. Pian- Itiehl lead in the building of a large and costly church. In 1897 he came to the ministry of [hit church in. which we meet to-day. [Jug Punter-(e Here Dr. Planatiehl's paatorate was the longest in the history of our church with the exception of the present on: in mind and body and to his last day he was enthusiastic over the memories of his childhood Dedicated to Ministry In 1872 Dr. Pfanstiehl entermt Hope college and at the close of his freshman year decided to take up a bluiness careeri It was a disappoint- ment to his father and mother. On the day of his birth they had dedi- cated him in prayer to the Christian ministry. They had never told him of their hope for him. always allowing him the privilege of choosing his own life-work. and when he chose,a bush ness career they wished him well. He went to Detroit immediately after the college year and obtained a position in a business house which hos sinee groum to large proportions And then a' strange thing happened to him. Within a few weeks, without any urging or suggestion from anyone, the youth began to question the win dom oinhis choice. He passed through what was essentially a spiritual crisis, and ended it by resolving to give up business and study for the ministry. At the end of the summer he went back to Hope college, the youngest member of the class, and graduated three years later as valedictorian.
