Adams avenue church: "Manley $.

the Board of Church Extension. spent
last Sunday with the church at Pas

terest of the seven benevolences pre-
sented on the collection card. but espe-
Cially upon Church Extension" All
the apportionments were filled, with
an advance of $50 for church extern
sion. In the afternoon gentleman
sent a card that he would take $3.50
church. After the evening service
gentleman and wife called on DIR. Hard
and took memorial church" for a
son at $3.50. Still another man and
wife are purposing like gift. 1t was
splendid outcome for q summer Sun

Passengers on trains passing Glen
Summit notice that the hotel has an
unusual look. Its porches are alive
with people at all times, but instead of
the fashionable throng of the sum-
mer season, one sees only solemn-vis-
aged priests. The occasion is the re-
treat of the clergy of the Roman Catho-
lie church of the diocese of Scranton,
covering Luzerne and several neigh
boring counties. Last week the senior
priests had their retreat. This week
the Junior priests have their turn. As
the hostel is not open to the general
public until next Saturday. the clergy
have the house entirely to themselves.
The retreat is purely a religious occa-
sion and there is no pleasuring of any
kind. Occasionally the priests stroll
off for walk, usually alone, but they
rise early, apply themselves to a de-
votion all day and retire to bed early.
They are not extravagant diners, cith-
er, the elaborate hotel bill of fare
being pruned down to very moderate
basis of substantials The retreat is
conducted by Jesuit father. Rev. p.
A. Halpin, of New York. He was for
many years a professor in Fordham
college.-Wilkes-B Barre Record.
