REFORMED EPISCOPAL.

1t was organized in this city March
3. 1881. by Bishop William II. Nichol-
son. Of Philadelphia. The organization
was effected in the Second Presby-
terian church. kindly loaned for the oc-
casion. Some months previous the
exodus Of forty-five or more members
from st. Luke's Protestant Episcopal
church formed q nucleus, which gath
ering strength and numbers\ took
definite shape, when on Sunday, FeD.
13. 1881. a service was held in the Y. NJ.
G. A. hall, on Lackawanna avenue,
Rev. G. A. Redless. Of the Third Re-
formed Episcopal church Of German
town, officiating. Soon after organlz-
ing, Mr.. Redless was called to take
charge of the new parish, and preached
his first sermon as pastor May 8, 1851.
A property was purchased on Wyom-
ing avenue, and a church erected In
time to hold Christian service the same
year, the congregation meanwhile wor-
shipping In a hall. Four different pas
tors have served the parish since its
establishment, each holding, and faith
fully. the doctrine that the second
coming Of Christ Is the hope Of the
church, that this return Is imminent
and the Kingdom near. which Is the
distinctive feature of the teaching in
this church and the spur to Its mission
ary enterprises.
A Bible reader in foreign lands is
supported by each of the following So
cieties in the church, the Kings
Daughters, the Sunday school, Chris
tian Endeavor. and Pastors Bible class.
The Woman's Missionary society,
with Its AFFILIATED juvenile society, the
Band of the Kings Children. does
much In supporting mission hospital
work in Shanghai. China, and in India;
also takes its part In the hospital and
Jail work in Scranton.

ALL SOULS UNIvERsALIsT CHURCH.

All Souls Universalst church was Or
ganized In the winter Of 1888 In Jermyn
hall, on Lackawanna avenue, where it
worshipped until the dedication Of the
present cosy chapel on Pine street, In
March, 1891.
The congregation Is not large but
growing. There Is an active Sunday
school, an earnest Young Peoplss'
Christian Union, a Ladies' Aid society,
which has done much for the financial
success Of the church. The ladies are,
in fact, a source Of strength in every
church when ways and means are to be
considered. There is also q society Of
young people called the Chaplin Liter.
airy society, named after the Rev. DR..
E. H. Chaplin, the eloquent Universe
list divine and lecturer, who died In
1880. There is a church building fund
started in hopes Of a church ediflce In
the near future. While the growth Of
our church has not been as rapid a.
hoped for, and It's influence small be-
side the larger of our sister churches IN
the city, yet we feel that some good
has been done for the advancement OF
the Kingdom of our Blessed Redeemer
here among men. For some time the
congregation was without pastor.
having only occasional preaching. On
March 1, 1885, the Rev. F. w. Whippen,
of Massachusetts,. was called to the
pastorate, and II is hoped that under
his wise and capable leadership. good
work may be done.
All Souls church Is in warm sympa.
thy with all earnest Christian en-
deavor to reclaim the erring and the fall
len. 1t recognizes that there Is mighty
work to be done in this city, not only
to rear our own children in the Chris
tian life, but to throw around them
and others all safeguards possible,
that they may resist evil and the
temptations that beset them on every
side. So may our small church thrive
and grow with all it's sister churches,
all working in harmony with one an
other, each striving to do the will Of
our Divine Master, until the time shall
come when every knee shall bow and
every tongue shall confess him Lord to
the glory Of God the Father"

CONGREGATIONAL CHURCHES.

It was not till the year 1855 that Con-
gregationalism took its place in the city
as one Of the Christian denominations.
In that year Providence church was Or
ganized, and from its beginning has ex-
cited O wholesome and beneficial influ-
ence In that section Of the city. Rev.
r. 8. Jones, D. D., has been its pastor
since 1872. The services are largely in
the Welsh language, but attention Is
now being paid to the needs Of the
young people. 1t has Sunday school,
Young Peoples Society of Christian En-
deavor, Ladies' society and a prosper
Gus mission school. The membership
Of the church Is 240.
In 1856, the Congregational church,
Welsh, on South Main avenue, was or
ganized and has been and still Is the
CENTER of a strong religious life. The
membership is $40. Rev. d. Jones Is
the pastor. The above two churches
were the only representatives of Con-
gregationalism in Scranton until 1882,
when persons to the number of GA left
the church on South Main avenue and
organized the English Plymouth Con-
gregational church, Jackson street. The
most perfect harmony has always pre-
vailed between the old church and its
daughter the Plymouth. The member
ship of the Plymouth church Is now 1896.
Rev. T. Bell is the pastor. Besides the
usual departments Of Christian work,
this church carries on a successful mis-
sion Sunday school at Sherman avenue,
where much good is done, the average
attendance at this school being 260.
In 1886 the Tabernacle Congregation
al church. Welsh, was organized and
located on Hyde Park avenue. The
church has steadily grown and now
has a membership of 40. Rev. D. p.
Jones Is the pastor.
In 1889 the Second English Congrega-
tional church, Market street, was or
ganized. The Sunday school and
Young Peoples Society of Christian
Endeavor are doing good service. Rev.
Newman Mathews Is the pastor, and
the membership Is now los.

LUTHERAN CHURCHES IN SCRANTON.

Lutheran services were first conduct
ed in this city by Rev. Mr.. Reichert,
pastor Of Zion's German Lutheran
Philadelphia, who preached at irregu-
lar intervals in the old public school
house and North Main aveune and
Parker street, Providence, nearly sixty
years ago.
The ministerium Of Pennsylvania be-
gan missionary operations in 1859, by
sending Rev. Nathan Jaeger, of Bethle-
hem. Mr.. Jaeger rented "Schlager's
Hail." corner Lackawanna and WASH
ington avenues, and here he preached
as often as possible, for about one year.
The highly esteemed pastor Of lions
German Lutheran church, Miffln ave-
nue., the Rev. p. F. Zizelmann, was
the first Lutheran pastor to locate in
Scranton. Mr.. Zizelmann succeeded
Mr.. Jaeger. He arrived from San An
tonic, Tex, May IS, 1860. organized
Zion's Aug. 10, 1860, and still continues
to minister to this people, honored by
all citizens and beloved by his parish
toner's.
The first effort to organize an English
Lutheran church was made by Rev. d.
M. Henkel, D. D., Of Stroudsburg, in
1865, but with no permanent results. In
order to facilitate the introduction Of
English services an English Sunday
school was organized in Zion's, in 1870.
Rev. L. NJ. Smith, Of Philadelphia, un-
dertook to organize an English congre-
cation in $780, but 1t was not until the
organization of Trinity church, 1882, by
Rev. NJ. l.. Zweizig, that the English
work took permanent root. In conse-
quence of this long delay many English
Lutherans united with other denomina-
tions.
Trinity congregation has, under God.
In a quiet way, and in the face Of great
difficulties, made a commendable rec
ord Of parish work.
st. Marks English Lutheran church,
Washburn street, corner Fourteenth,
was organized as a mission by Rev. Ed
win Lunn Miller, Of Trinity, in 1891,
Rev. A. l.. Ramer, Phi. D., the pastor.
Is succeeding so we'll In this field that
1t will be necessary soon to build q new
church to accommodate the increasing
number of worshipers.
St. Pauls, another mission Of Trinity,
was organized by Rev. G. NJ. Scheidy in
1894 The old Park Place Methodist
Episcopal church building. on Short
avenue, North Scranton, Is used as a
place of worship. This congregation Is
now without a PASTOR but the Wilkes
Barre conference, at its last meeting,
decided to make arrangements for plac-
ing permanent pastor In this impor-
tant field.
In 1860 Rev. Zizelmann began preach
ing in the Petersburg public school
house. In 1868 he organised st. Peters
German Lutheran church, and in 1869.
the brick church. corner Ash street
and Prescott avenue. was erected The
Rev. ]. w. Randolph, the present pas
tor, is succeeding in building. up large
and flourishing congregation.
Christ Lutheran church, South Scran.
ton, was organized in 1887. Rev. F.
Hotter faithfully serves this congrega-
ton.
In 1894 the general synod began mis-
sionary operations in this city, and this
mission has just secured the lot. corner

METHODIST CHURCHES.

The doctrine of Methodism were diff
fused in this valley as early as 1886.
1t had but a feeble recognition until
1893. Among the earliest emigrants
from Connecticut to Wyoming was An
ming Owen, who began to preach the
doctrine Of Methodism in 1887. He Of
ficiated In the double capacity Of black
smith and exhorter for a time. and then
became circuit preacher Of wonderful
power. William Colbert probably
preached the first sermon at Capouse.
the home Of Samuel Taylor was a
preaching place as was also that of
John Vaughn. Meetings were occasion
ally held In log houses and cabins along
the stream, where the poor, penniless
preacher tarried all night. Small school
houses were afterwards used. In June,
1Si1. funds were solicited to build
meeting house. 1t was completed in
1912, and stood for years on the cor
ner of Lackawanna and Adams ave-
nues. This was the first church built
in Lackawanna valley. 1t accommo-
dated about sixty people and was used
also by Presbyterians. The first regu-
larly stationed pastor was Rev. A. H.
Schoonmaker.
At the Wyoming conference held at
Binghamton July 2, 1856, Rev. George
Peck was appointed pastor. at which
time the church had forty reliable men,
bers and an equal number of nominal
ones. A new lot had been secured on
Adams avenue. and on July 10, 1856, the
basement Of the new church was COM
pleted and Rev. William Wyatt (then
presiding elder) dedicated 1t to the wor-
ship of God. One hundred and fifty
dollars was received on that day. This
was not very encouraging, but the close
of the year showed some signs Of pro-
gress. The missionary society gave $400
and the people raised $160, making a
total Of $500 for the support of the pas
tor. In September, 1858, the Adams
avenue brick church was completed and
dedicated by Rev. Pennell Combe, of
Philadelphia. In 1879 the church was
enlarged at a cost of $12, 900 and dedicat-
ed Jan. "a, 1880.
In 1891 this property was sold to Clark
& Snover who We're given possession
Immediately. This necessitated the
building of the tabernacle, which was
erected at Mulberry and Adams ave-
nue., where the congregation worship
ped during the erection Of Elm Park
church. This was twice DESTROYED by
fire before completion. It stands as a
monument to the progressive Method
ism of this generation. This church
sustained Asbury church at Green
Ridge, Court street church at Park
Place, and John Rogers Memorial on
the South Side, until they became separ-
ate charges or self-supporting. It has
