Prior to the reception Father Hubert
was presented with purse by the
members of St. Peters. and in his re-
marks to them in the evening referred

he was a member of the society, and
how interested he has always been in
the organization.
Rev. w. +. O'Donnell. of Holy Cross
church, also addressed the assemblage,
and prevailed upon his hearers to ad-
here TO the cause of total abstinence,

WEST SCRANTON

Wales. were the chief founders OF the
old Pennepek church. now Lower Dub
lin. in Philadelphia, which was founded
In January. 1858.
A church had been founded at Cold
Spring. near Bristol. by the Rev.
Thomas DUNCAN, of Rhode Island, in
1854, but that ceased in 1902. but the
old Pennepek church still exists. The
old Welsh Tract church came from
Rhydwilym, Wales, In 1901. as an Or
ganlzed body of sixteen members, hav-
ing the Rev. Thomas Grifiiths as their
pastor. The Montgomery church was
founded by the Rev. Abel Morgan in
17l9. the Great Valley in 17li, and
others that might be named.
OF the first six Joint pastors OF PEN
nepek and Philadelphia, three were
Welshmen, Samuel Jones and both the
Morgans, to whom are to be added
their immediate successors, Jenkin
Jones and Morgan Edwards. The in
iluence of such men as Morgan John
Rhys, the Joneses, Drs. Benjamin Grif-
fifth, William Shadrach and others will
never be forgotten by the American
Baptists. and among these the minis
ters Of the Welsh Baptist association
form an important and an essential
part
THE PIONEERS.
1t seems that the three ministers who
are regarded as the pioneers of the
Welsh Baptist association of Eastern
Pennsylvania are the late William
owens, of pittsburg: William Morgans,
of Pottsville, and william Richmond,
az he.
the Welsh Baptists of Eastern Penn
syivania and New York comprised one
association, under the name Of the
Oneida and Eastern Pennsylvania
Welsh Baptist association, and during
those fifteen years we had about eleven
Welsh Baptist ministers, but the above
three were regarded as the pioneers of
Luzerne and Schuylkill counties.
William Owens was born in the year
1893 in the parish of Llandybie, Car
inarthenshirc, Wales. He was baptized
i'll the Kenen river when twenty one
years OF age by the venerable John
Davies, bookbindel. In 1881, with his
family, he emigrated to America and
landed IN Lewistown, Delaware, and
after year there, removed to Phila-
delphia. In 1888 he moved to Pottsville
where he was ordained. In 1885 he
moved TO Pittsburg, where he remained
until his death In 1874.
William Morgans. Pottsville, was a
man greatly beloved. lie was a native
Of Llantrisant, Wales, and began to
preach under DR., John Jenkins, Heng-
sed. His death occurred in Pottsville,
April %, 1876. But little is known Of
his early work. but he labored jealous
ly in the service of the Lord.
William Richmond. Blakely, was the
founder Of the First Welsh Baptist
church, of Scranton. which was organ
lied in 1s49. He was a native of Wales,
and lived on a farm near Blakely. He
died in 1857 at the age OF seventy-hve
years.
