what IL means TO the city of Scranton
in the future years we can scarcely ap-
preciate or imagine. The clergy, the
faithful workers in our guilds. how happy
they all must be today In the assured
realization of that which they have
longed for so many years, and without
which they feel the parish is so ham.
pered it's work so much retarded and its
usefulness so greatly impaired!
How happy must be the heart of the
donor and the giver of II all, Mrs Phelps
herself life long parishioner and mem
ber of st. Luke's, to see the building as
sured, to see these happy faces here to-
day and to know that here is to stand a
structure forever to be used for the
cause of Christianity and the spread of
Christ's kingdom in the very center of
great and growing city, while at the
same time perpetuate the memory of her
dear parents as long as this parish shall
live.
And how suitable that the building in
which centers all the parochial activities
of our parish, especially the work of the
laty, the people of the congregation,
should stand a lasting memorial of both
DR.. and Mrs Thrcop. They did perhaps
more than any ether person in securing
the services of a missioner of the church
in the days when this valley was a com
narrative wilderness Their lives spanned
the parish life from the days of the lit
tie chapel down on Penn avenue to our
most recent years of fulress and ex-
pansion as great city parish. Time and
means were theirs to give and they gave
both with unstirted hand. They were in
the lead in everything n parishioner
could do to strengthen the hands of the
rector in the maintenance and the up
building and dey elopment of our church.
I violate no ccr fdence, I am sure. when
I say that in the last talk it was my
privilege TO have with Mrs. Throop. she
told me how close to her heart was the
building of q suitab BILE parish house.
1t is most fitting, therefore. that the
present structure thought of by her as a
memorial to her husband gone before,
should bear the names of both DR.. and
Mrs. Throop. I am sure they will al
ways be held in loving memory by all
our people
When Mrs. Throop was called away TO
rest Mrs. Phelps eagerly took up the
