Synopsis

Excerpt from Luther at Home

We triist this humble effort to portray the home-life of the great Reformer may, at least, awaken the inquiry in every reader: What is home to me And as you follow Luther as he appears in these pen pictures and home scenes, will you allow and ponder the questions: Is home a place of seridus thought as well as of love and gladness? Have you an altar of prayer there? Is it overarched by the presence of God, and brightened by His benediction? DO you comprehend the meaning Of the commu nionss'that are brightened by its fire-light, of the Shadowy memories that fresco its walls Is it a little thing to you that the cry of birth has been heard beneath its roof, that the mystery of death has descended into its chambers? Is there no solemnity as well as gladness in the relations Of husband and wife, of father and mother - a solemnity that links time to eter nity, and earth with heaven? Is not home full of incentives, full of voices calling to duty and.

About this title

About the Author

The Reverend Theophilus Stork, D.D., was born in August, 1814 to the Rev. Carl Augustus Gottlieb Storch (the original German family name). He was officially baptized with the name Gottlieb, but changed it to its Greek synonym, Theophilus. T. Stork started his professional life as a school-teacher in his fathers parish in North Carolina; 1835 entered the Seminary and by his second year of Seminary, he had already begun preaching. The Reverends caring and sympathetic qualities as a Pastor made him very popular, and his ability at the pulpit grew steadily, earning him a quickly growing congregation. He also oversaw the expansion the Lutheran religion to the northern and western parts of Philadelphia through the encouragement of expanded Sunday Schools, and eventually the building of St. Mark's Lutheran Church, to which he was called in 1851. In 1860, he was called to be Pastor of the New English Lutheran Church.
