ABOUT EYES.
Their Examination nnd Treatment.
My system of eyesight examina
tions without drops (or the prescribing
of glasses to correct defective vision,
headaches, neuralgia, and other like
nervous affections when arising from
eyestrain.
My method of eye tests embrace
the application of the most reliable
ophthaltnologlcal appliances and as
sures mathematically exact spectacles
and eyeglasses for the most difficult
cases. It has received the endorse
ment of many prominent physicians.
In connection with my offices Is a
manufacturing department for the
grinding of lenses, fitting of frames
and other details of fine optical work,
thus allowing not only the examinations
to be given personal attention, but also
the construction of the glasses, to
gether with the proper adjustment of
the frames to suit the requirements of
each case.
One charge covers the entire
cost of examination, glasses and
frames.

Tho MMiil-eontcnnlul celebration, which

city. JU. Hev. Ulshop Kthelbert Tal

ANNIVERSARY SERVICE
ON SATURDAY NIGHT
The anniversary gathering, held Sat
urday night in the beautiful auditorium
of tlie parish house, was a most de
lightful affair, and an exceptionally
pleasant and piotltable time was rpent
hy the members and friends of the con
gregation present.
Tho stage was prettily set with an
interior scene, and Kt. Kev. Hishnp
Kthelbert Talbot, who acted as chair
man, occupied a chair in the center.
The others on tlio stage were I lev. Dr.
Lloyd, of New York, secretary of the
bo.iril of foreign missions: I lev. .1.
Philip B. Pendleton, D. D of Schenec
tady, N. V., a former rector: Hev. Dr.
( SI. Oilllu, pastor of the Kim Park
Methodist Episcopal church; Hev. Dr.
.lames Mcl.eod, pastor of the First'
Presbyterian chinch; Hev. Dr. Hubert
F. V. Pierce, pastor of the Pcim Ave
nue Haptist church; Huv.,K. .1. jlaugh
ton, in charge of St. Mark's and St.
George's missions; Hew Robert 10. Hoe,
curate: Rev. Dr. Rogers Israel, rector,
and Samuel D. nines, vestryman and
lay reader.
Dr. Israel opened the meeting with a
brief address, in which ho compared an
anniversary to an old mansion, remind
ing one of both the Joys and sorrows
of past years.
"There has been some bitterness and
much love," said he, "some sorrow anil
much rejoicing, and through the years
can be seen the spirit of Ood working
to accomplish tho brst things always."
Dr. Israel then read 11 letter of con
gratulation from the congregation of
the Church of the flood Shepherd. Let
ters were also read from all of the for
mer rectors, mve one, who were un
able to be present at the celebration.
Most Interesting of these was the letter
received from Hev. John Long, the lirst
rector, who is still living, at the ad
vanced age of ST years. The letter was
written by bis own hand, which had to
be held to permit the use of It. Other
letters .sending gieetlngs were received
from the following former rectors: Hev.
W. C. Robinson, Washington. D. (,
JS.'.'J-fiS; Hev. A. Augustus Marple,
Heading, 1S63-.7: Hev. Henry f. Swont
zel. D. D.. Hrooklyn, N. Y., ISSr.-itJ.
At this point Samuel Hlnes read a
most carefully piepared history of tho
church, which will be found In another
place.
Spirit of Christian Unity.
Bishop-Talbot made a reference to
the growing spirit of Christian unity,
beforo Introducing' the various clergy
men who were to make addresses,
"1 am glad," said he, "to see the rep
resentatives of other denominations
heie, 'it would be a sad rellectlon, In
deed, upon our Chilstlanity II we could
not rejolco at the prosputlty of a chinch
other than our own,"
The clergymen who followed Indulged
In a good deal of phi rul raillery at
each other's expense, but gave every
evidence of their hearty good will.
Dr. Mcl.eod expressed himself as be
ing heartily In favor of Christian unity.
He hoped to see the time when all
evangelical Christian churches -will be
In ought Into closer touch, one with the,
other, and when the only klml ot
rivalry" will be as 10 which shall do Uiu
most for the service nf nod,
"I hate sectarianism," said the doe
tor, "and I love ileuoinluatlonallsm.
When prejudice anil Intolerance first
saw one another they were man led and
their llrst-boiu child was bigotry, I de
test and despise bigotry. The soldier
who tiles to light la all regiments s
never successful.
"I care not whether an Kplscupnllan
be high church, or low chinch, or bioad
church, or whether lie be an altltudin
ai inn or a pladltittlmirlaii, if he stands
up I'eaileshly for pilnclple.
"find has blessed this chinch III the
past anil Its future promises to be more
glorious even than Its past. Yout
church is giowing, but it Is not merely
numbers that count. It is the mimes
of those written on the Lamb's hook of
life."
Hev. Dr. Robert P. Y. Pierce, followed
Dr. Mcl.eod ami In beginning his le
inarks referred to his biotlier, who Is
an Episcopalian clergyman. " am
Kind," said he, "to be a brother-in-law
to the Episcopal church.
"The yeais of this church's life have
been golden years," said he, "hut who
can estimate the service rendered to
suffering Immunity. You have lieu id
the statistical figures given, but they
give no udeuuute idea of the reul work

accomplished. They tell nothing of the
hearts lightened; of the burdens lifted;
of the tears wiped away. No one Is
able to estimate what has been done
here for the uplifting of humanity nnd
the accomplishment of good. We will
never be able to tell what the harvest
of the years has been until we reach
the shores beyond life's1 river.
It's a Refuge.
"Every time I pass St. Luke's church
and read that sign, "The church Is
open. Come In, rest and pray," 1 thank
Ood for It. It always reminds me ot
that church door in Stratford-On-Avon,
over which is Inscribed the word 'Ref
uge.' That's what should be over
ecry church door, because that's what
the church is. a refuge for tho sorrow
ing', dying sons of earth.
"Tho work of this chinch Is not done.
It has only been begun. There are
glorious years ahead and plentiful har
vests yet to bo gathered. I want to
assure you that the gieetlngs which I
hrlng you from my church and my
denomination arc prompted by hearty
good will and a spirit of brotherly love.
We are one In interest, one In purpose,
one In method as we are one in life, In
hope and In Jesus Christ."
Bishop Talbot, in intioducing Dr. lilf
fin. said that it was hard to conjecture
what tills country would be today were
it not for the Methodists, and related
the story of four young Irish Metho
dists who 1 nine to his assistance when
be was laboring In the far west, and
who acted as missionary workers under
his direct ion.
Dr. C.lllln said that pome denomina
tions arc afraid to invite the Metho
dists to join with (hem in religious
services because they (.tlio Methodists)
are such an uncertain quantity.
"You know." said he, "that tho Epis
copal church is the only one where they
use tlio amen in order. The Methodist
is likely to blurt it out at any time
j and cause disorder. You can't tell
auytnmg aooat some 01 tlicm, lliougii
we're getting away from that sort of
thing in the big cities. Over in Kim
Park we're so awfully nice that I'm
afraid one of the old-time automatic
explosive Methodists would sort of
grate on our nerves, but I don't mind
confessing that I'd like to hear one now
and then."
"I'm glad," continued Dr. C.lllln, "that
I don't belong to that narrow, mean
division of humanity that can't find
happiness In the happiness of others. I
abhor that class of people with eter
nal contempt. I take a delight in your
anniversary celebration and I rejoice
with you."
Dr. Israel was originally a Methodist
clergyman, and Dr. Olllln poked a little
fun at him on this account, explaining
that the Methodist church furnishes
many preachers for all churches.
"I congratulate this congregation,"
he continued, "upon having one who
Is an Israelite indeed, and who has
pushed forward the work of Ood's king
dom with untiling energy so that his
efforts have been crowned with sub
lime success, r hope that he may live
to see the centennial celebration."
A Former Hector,
Dr. Pendleton, a former rector of St.
Luke's, and now pastor of a church
In Schnectady. organized In the middle
I of tho seventeenth century, was tho
next speaker.
"I am glad to hear the words of our
brothers," said he, "and they make nip
realize more and mote that the Epis
copal church Is broad enough, high
enough and deep enough to take In
anybody who Is a servant of Jesus
Christ, and who Is willing to do His
work, It ulfords nie great pleasure in
see that the unnecessary fences which
we ourselves erected urn being gradu
ally removtd and that as children of a
common Father we are able to unite
and give Him praise,"
Dr. .Pendleton then referred to his
reciorshlp at St, Luke's, and said that
the seven ears he spent In this city
were among the best In his lite.
"1 want to call your attention," said
lie, "to what flod can and does do for
Ills people. When I enme here Ilrst the.
church was burdened with a debt so
large that nearly all the members of
the congregation were seriously advo
cating giving up the church and begin
ning again on a smaller scale. It was
folly, they said, for persons to glvo
money to 1 educe the debt, It couldn't
ho 1 educed, they aigued, and It was
useless to attempt to reduce It,
"The obstacles to the clearing up of
that debt seemed Invincible but, my
f lie mis, with Hod's blessing upon us,
and with the earnest co-operation of
rector and cougiegatlou, we refunded
the debt and paid off enough of It to
make us realize that It could bt all
clemen up some day. This icsult w.is
achieved laigely by the earnest, slnceie
and milted efforts of the women, (lod
lileis the women of this parish, 1 say,
tor the splendid wotk they have done
in upbuilding iud developing it."
Dr. Pendleton closed by expiesshig
Ills great sense of plenum c at helm?
able to pa it Hi pate at the annlversaiy
celebration, and voicing his belief that
glorious yea is are yet ahead.
Dr. Lloyd, wiio was the last speaker
Introduced, made a very brief address,
"The secret of the success of this
parish," said he, "Is that as it has giv
en Itself away (lod has made It strong
er and better able to battle for His
cause. I would have you carry away
with you the thought God's church Is
not merely for Scranton. It Is for the
world, and Its work will not be done
until the Inst child has been brought
to bear tho Father's message and until
tho Inst soli has heard tho glad tld
Iiibh of salvation,"
Hlflhop Talbot closed the lneetltifr
Wlth a few words expressive of the
esteem nnd respect In which lie holds
Dr, and Mrs. Isrnot.
"t take this opportunity of stating,"
said he. "that t haven't n more loyal
priest or denrer personal ft lend In the
diocese than Dr. Israel. There is n lit-
tie woman lit the same house with him
who hy her gracious hospitality and
consecrated wisdom has endeared her
self to so nmny of us and whose In
fluence has been such a faelor In con
tributing to the doctor's splendid buc
ccss." Other Saturday Services.
Bishop Talbot was celebrant nt the
communion soivlco .conducted on Sat
urday morning, nnd Hev. Henry L.
Jones, S. T. D rector ot St, Stephen's
church, Wllkes-Barre, preached the
sermon, lie based his retnnrks on
PsalniH, 122:7, S. 0; "Peace be within
thy walls and plenteotisness within thy
palaces. For my brethren nnd com
panions' sake I will now say, peace bo
within thro. Because of tho house of
the Lord our Ood I will seek thy good."
Dr. Jones brought greetings nnd con
gratulations from St. Stephen's church.
He lefeired to growing love for litur
gical services which Is manifesting It
self In all Christian bodies and said that
this augured well for the future of tho
Episcopalian church. He tyged the
members of the congregation to offer on
the occasion of their Jubilee u conse
crated purpose to devote the rest ot
their lives more earnestly to deeds of
Christian kindness and sympathy, and
to the furtherance of Clod's kingdom
here on earth.
On Saturday afternoon the children ot
the Sunday school were entertained In
the auditorium of the parish house.
Recitations were given by Miss Beatrice
Morris, and Miss Hlldcbr.ind nnd Miss
Muiiha. Broadbent gave a scries of Del
sarle poses. A violin solo by Mr.
Rodriguez and tumbling by a number
of boys from the Hoys' Industrial asso
ciation completed the programme. He
freslnnenta were then served to the
young folks by a committee of ladles.
RELIGIOUS SERVICES
CONDUCTED YESTERDAY
Tho services yesterday were entirely
of a religious naluio. There were two
celebrations of the holy communion,
one at 7.."0 a. m., conducted by Hev. J.
P. B. Pendleton, and the other at the
noon hour, Immediately following the
morning prayer. This last was con
ducted by Rl. Rev. Bishop Talbot.
There were upwards of 100 communi
cants at both services.
lit. Hev. Bishop Talbot preached nt
the morning service, taking for Ills
topic "The Cross of Christ," and choos
ing for his text, (iajatians, 6:11: "But
Hod forbid that I should glory, save in
the cross of our Lord Jesus Chiist, by
whom the world is crucified unto me,
and I unto t lie woild."
The bishop referred lo the great
changes which have been wrought in
tills city and nation since the organiza
tion of St. Luke's church. Everything
good and noble in this progress, both in
the church and in the community, lie
said, is directly attributable to the cross
of Christ.
He then traced the great fundamental
things that Christianity stands for
altruism, social service, aid to the af
lllcted, the sorrowing, the sinful.
"Chilstlanity," said he, "is not a life
Insurance scheme requiring the saying
of so many prayers and attendance nt
so many services to insure escape from
punishment in the future world. It is
rather a divine agency for the help and
redemption ot all humanity."
Children's Meeting.
In the afternoon at I! o'clock a chil
dren's missionary meeting was con
ducted in the church. Delegations wete
present from the home Sunday school
and from other Sunday schools, as fol
lows: Church of the Oood Shepherd,
St. George's mission, St. David's
church, St. Mark's mission, South Side
mission and Enst End mission.
A special order ot service was ob
served. This included the. singing of
several missionary hymns. Including
"From Greenland's Icy Mountains" and
"Ye Christian Heralds, Go Proclaim."
Bishop Talbot made an address to ihe
children, explaining what missionaries
are and something about the work they
have accomplished and are accomplish
ing today. He urged them to save some
of their pennies for God's work, and
told of a little homeless newsboy in
"West Plttston who saved $3 for the
church building fund in that place and
whose sacrifices Inspired tho members
of the congregation to fresh activity
with the result that a new church has
been built.
"How long has Dr. Israel been rec
tor?" asked the bishop.
"Ten years," came the reply from a
hundred childish voices.
"How long has the church been or
ganized?" he asked.
"Fifty years," again answered the
chorus,
"How long do you want Dr. Israel
to remain with you?"
There was a pause at this question
until one youngster piped out "Fifty
years."
"That's light. That's the fueling to
have," said the bishop, "and t sincere
ly hope that Dr. Israel may be with
you that many yeais longer."
Dr. Pendleton made a brief address
in which he referred to tho fact that
one of the most potent Influences which
moved tlie congregation of St, Luke's.
when ne was lector, to make an active
campaign for the reduction of the
church debt was tho leceipt of from
iwo little boys who had marked upon
the envelope, "See Psalms, xlvl:3." This
verse reads as follows:
"God Is In tlie midst of her; she
shall not bo moved: Clod shall keep
ner, ami nun rigni early."
Dr. Lloyd also spoke to the children
urging them to conuilm'io to the mis
sion funds, The children In the Epis
copal Sunday schools throughout the
country contributed $iou,Ouo for mission
work last year, he said, and he hoped
to see this record surpassed this year.
Dr, Pendloton'o Sermon,
Dr. Pendleton pleached at the servicu
last night, taking his text from Ephe
slans, lv:l, "Tlieie Is one body, and
one spirit,"
lu beginning, Dr. Pendleton decl.ued
It to be his intention to compare the
human body with the church tor the
puipose of tracing their points of ie
semblaucc and of drawing certain les
sons from this resemblance.
Both the church and the human
body possess unity and variety, he said.
Tho chinch owes allegiance to one Lord
and bus one faith. Its various mem
bers, us the members ot the body, have
various giftH and there Is a perfect
harmony about the whole.
"The church," said he, "Is one mys
tical body. Its one authority Is God;
Its one head is Christ Jesus, and the
one spirit that pel monies It Is the Holy
Ghost. Its members ure tending to
ward one country, heaven, nnd they
follow one code of Instructions, tho
comiuandmeiilft of flod."
The doctor suld that Christians
should nlways remember that they aro
members of one body. "If we full lo
do this." said he, "we will ilnd our
selves nourishing a selfish, isolated te
IIrIoii. This Bplrlt of solllsh Isolation
If pushed fnr will eventually prove fa
tat to the life of Clod lu UiP Individual
soul."
1lin rnenmlitii urn lint wrell tllf cllllrcll
and the body, ho sitld, reminds u of
tho debts and obligations which V
owe oho to another, more particularly
In the matter ot truthful dealing. The
eye, ho said, never Ilea nor docs tho
oar. They transmit to the bruin pre
cisely what Is seen and heard.
If one part of tho body suffers, lie
said, tho whole body suffers In' sympa
thy with It. ThlH should teach Chris
tians to help bear the bunions and
tiflllctlnus of others and should stir
Ihcin up to a more earnest sense of
realization of their fellow man's sor
lows, perplexities, needs, fears nnd
trials.
"In anticipation of Hint coming day,"
said he, "when all the Ills of man shall
cease we should honor all men. Wo
HT. HEV. ETHELUEHT TALBOT,
Bishop of tho Central PeuiT'jIvaula Dio
cese of the EpNcopal Church.
should show honor nnd reverence for
those in the church who are doing
God's work, whether thoy bo rich or
poor, prominent or conspicuous."

HISTORICAL SKETCH
OF ST. LUKE'S PARISH
Following Is an historical sketch of
St. Luke's parish, prepared by Samuel
S. Hlnes. and lead at tho historical
meeting Saturday night:
We date our legal status from July r,
1KH. and after the lapse of fifty years it
is quite proper we should celebrate this
Golden Jubilee of our exigence with
thankfulness to God for many meicles
bestowed upon us, as well ns for I ho
trials which have come from His Provi
dence, for tins stiengtbening of our faith
and tho setting forth of Ills glory.
In considering the life of our parish. It
will ho well to turn our thoughts for a
moment to the conditions of this part of
our state in the earlier dnyr, in some
aspects, for realizing these wo may fol
low with added Inteiest, Its infancy.
Lackawanna county was, up to April
17, 1S7S, a part ot Luzerne county, and
Luzerne, in 17m1, after the historical and
hitter contioversy between Connecticut
and Pennsylvania had been settled, com
prised what we now know as Luzerne,
Susquehanna, Wyoming, Columbia and
Lycoming comities, with portions of
Bradford, Sullivan and Montour.
lu tho-io early days, the Protestant
Episcopal church, under tlio guidance of
Bishop White, of revered memory. In tlio
state of Pennsylvania, sent out her mis
sionaries to carry tho Gospel of Christ
and to minister to the people scattered
in tho primitive and wild places of set
tlement. Wllkes-Barre was the Important town
of thU section, but contained few people,
and was not blessed with a service of
our church until ISt I. when the Hev.
.luckion Kemper was missionary, lu
1S17 a. church oigaulzatlon was formed
there, and a charter of Incorporation ob
tained for Rt. Stephen's Protestant Epis
copal church,
A church edlllee, erected shortly nfter.
was consecrated by Bishop White hi
June, ISL'3.
From this time on, theie were occa
sion when the rectors of St. Stephen's
cairlcd the good news of the Gospel and
the Insplilng services of our chinch to
tho small communities tcuttctcd through
the wilderness of what Is now Lacka
wanna county, and adjoining counties,
but the record of them seems lo be ab
sent until IS II. when we learn of pastoral
visit and services hy tho Hev. Mr. Clax
ton at various times in Slociuu Hollow
and Providence township, as well as by
Bishop Alouzo Potter, who held n first
public si nice in what was known as tho
Village chapel lu ISIs. Shortly afterward.
Hev. John Long, a missionary of tlie So
ciety for tho Advancement of Christian
ity of the Protestant Episcopal church.
In Pennsylvania, began his labors for our
l.onl in the scattered villages and settle
ments In this section of Pennsylvania,
and after many changes Involving ills
coml'oits, which wc of this day can but
faintly appieelate. located In Montrose.

church there, and nilssionniy to the littlu

"good and wise hlshop," as lie speaks of
Bishop Potter, appointed hi 111 to work hi
the uuoociipied teirltory between Car
boudalo and Wllkes-Barre, and later,
more directly hi Scranton and neighbor
hood. Transferring his labors, therefore,
to the young ami growing village of
Scranton, he held services frequently In
private houses, ktore-rooms and halls,
and a public service lu the Methodist
chapel at. Providence on the evening of
