Anniversary Services
Held Yesterday in
St. Luke's EpisCo-
pal Church.
Rt. Rev. Bishop Tai
bot and Former Pas
tors Participated in
the Services.

Seldom, indeed. is it that IL church
can show Il record of such great ac-
complishment and such wonderful pros
sress as st. Lukes Episcopal church
shows at the end of fifty years. The
small church organization founded in
1852 has grown into one of the largest
and most prosperous congregations in
the diocese, and the charity work be-
gun in small way has developed TO
such an extent that a magnificent build
ing has been erected to house the vuri-
Gus organizations engaged in relieving
the needy and educating the young into
habits of industry.
The Semi-centennial cclebra ton, which
began on Saturday and was continued
yesterday, was one of the most elabor-
ate of its kind ever conducted in this
city. Rt. Rev Bishop Ethelbert Tai
bot and a number of visiting clergy
men are assisting the rector and con-
Ercgat tion in observing its golden juhi-
Ice. and several of the leading ministers
of other denominations have bespokcn
their good will and Christian love.

ABOUT EYES.
Their Examination and Treatment

My system Of eyesight examina-
tions without drops for 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
ophthalnologcal appliances and as
sures mathematically exact spectacles
and eyeglasses for the most difficult
cases. 1t 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.

Bishop Talbot was celebrant at the
communion service conducted on Sat

Jones, S. n. D., rector of st. Stephens
church, Wilkes Barre, preached the
sermon. He based his remarks on
Psalms. 122:7 8. 9: Peace be within
thy walls and Righteousness within thy
palaces. For my brethren and COM
panions' sake I will now say. peace be
within thee. Because of the house OF
the Lord our God will seek thy good"
DR.. Jones brought greetings and con-
gratulations from st. Stephens church.
He referred to growing love for ltur-
gical services which is manifesting it
self in all Christian bodies and said that
this augured well for the future of the
Episcopalian church. He urged the
members of the congregation to offer on
the occasion of their jubilee conse-
Grated purpose to devote the rest of
their lives more earnestly to deeds of
Christian Kindness and sympathy. and
to the furtherance of Gods Kingdom
here on earth.

that the aforementioned territory has
been offered for sale to the United
States, and that some day it may be-
come one of our possessions.
Well, if it is ever to come into our
hands we want to know something
about it.
Greenland was discovered by the
Norsemen in the year SIG. About a
hundred years later it was colonized
by Eric the Red, who, to attract to it's
shores immigrants from Iceland, gave
it the alluring name of "Green-land."
Christianity was introduced in Eric's
time by his son Left, converted to that
religion when on a visit to Norway.
The records of the bishops throw a
little light on the history of Green
land from Eric's time down to the mid
die of the fourteenth century, after
which there is blank for some time.
Greenland was rediscovered in 1885 by
John Davis, who had been sent out by
the British government in search of
northwest passage. TWAS recolonized
by the Danes in 1921.
Greenland is big island, "as long as
the United States is wide;" it lies
northeast Of North America, and ex-
tends from latitude 60 degrees north
to latitude IS degrees 80 minutes

day find the suns rays uncomfortably
warm. Mosquitoes hirt about, and add
their touch to summer conditions, and
butterflies fit here ana there. There
are birds innumerable. Several kinds
Of berries grow in the valleys, buckle
berries are very abundant. In the
gardens the Europeans grow lettuce,
cabbages and turnips, and once in
awhile potatoes, very small in size, are
produced. The trees do not grow to
any height at all, the highest met by
one explorer being a white birch ris-
ing IA feet.
The Greenland soil is dry and stony,
though there are plains Of succulent
grass and moss. Incoming ships
bring earth from other countries as
ballast, and this earth has been turned
to account for gardens and yards.
Though game is, getting less and less
plentiful, the people depend largely
on hunting and fishing; bears, wolves,
deer and foxes, whales, seals and sal.
mon supplying their wants. There are
some domesticated creatures; many
dogs, cows, sheep, oxen, goats and
pigs.

In summer, inland valleys and noun
tainside are clothed in living green;
moss-green, green of grass, and leaf
OF shrub. Flowers blaze among the
gray rocks; old acquaintance, prim-
roses, buttercups and dandelions.
Beautiful colors play about the ice-
cap, but, of course, it is devoid of life.
Intrepid explorers have given it a
tleeting glimpse of humanity. Peary
travelled it for couple hundred miles,
and Nansen marched clear across the
island Tor perhaps it would better be
spoken of as continent).
The beauty OF Greenland neither
artist nor writer can adequately pic
ture. The glittering mountains rise
sheer from the fords to height of
1000, 5000 and 5000 feet, glaciers upon
their sides. Out of the fords pass to
the sea majestic icebergs. But all is
not frozen white in this northland,
there is a perfect riot of color when
the midnight sun works his alchemy.
An artist, one in love with Greenland,
as all artists that visit it must be-,
in the New England Magazine writes:
AT times the bergs look as blue as
topaz, with arches, caverns and VEIN
ings of indigo; again they are tinged
emerald green; and at sunset they are
shrouded in the pink Of the Alpine
glow.
Since for two-thirds of the year
Greenland is engirdled in ice, one
would think she would be glad indeed
to welcome travellers to her shores in

north. The coast is deeply indented
with fords, the interior is plateau
covered with an ice-cap. Greenland's
highest mountain rises to the height
of 10000 feet. The island has an es-
timated area of $4,000 square miles,
and population of not much more
than 10000.
Most of the settlements are on the
west shore, between latitude 60 de-
grees and 70 degrees, thousand miles
from the frozen Greenland of our ina G.
ination, the Greenland that our early
explorers made known to us. The
folks at these settlements are Eskimos.
Danes and half-breeds. The interior
of the country is uninhabited; is given
over to ice, not surface ice, but ice
thousands of feet thick.
In summer the temperature at the
settlement is quite high, averaging s.
degrees, and not often falling below so
degrees. The inhabitants, who do not
discard their thick garments, at mid

He waved his hand and Pettibone

cord. That night the young man did
not go to the hotel, but accepted the
sheriff's invitation to remain at his
house, where they arrived safely and
without incident.

stead of making it difficult for tn EN- to
step foot thereon. But Greenland has
the reputation of inhospitable shores
in more senses than one, the Danish
authorities not allowing ships to make
landing without permit from them,
with the exception of whalers, their
own government steamers, American
vessels engaged in the kryolite trade,
exploring parties, or vessels in dis
tress. Consequently, the tourist does
not find it an easy matter to inspect
Greenland. The Danes use these
measures to protect their wards, the
Eskimos, over whom they are kindly
rulers, much interested in the welfare
OF those in their charge. The Eskimos
repay their kindness in kind, are gen.
tie and docile. Crime is almost I'M
known. They attend churches and
schools, and have a considerable de-
gree of civilization.
Some coal is mined in Greenland,
and the quarrying of kry olite, which
stone is valuable for the alum and
soda into which it is transformed, is
a considerable industry; but the ex-
tensive industries of Greenland are
the whale and seal fisheries.
The natives cruise among the fiords
in boats made of skins. The sealskins
are stretched on frame l6 to 20 feet
long, and 2 feet wide, having only
one narrow opening, into which, the
native crawls wrapped in cloak that
is sewed to the boat. With his double
paddle he can make so miles a day in
this boat. Another kind of boat, also
made of skins, fat-bottomed one, is
usually propelled by women.
The old native houses were built of
stone, boards and turf, where neither
light nor air could enter. On the east
coast, where a community may con-
sist of one house, in which will herd
sometimes half hundred persons, the
conditions of these novels is some
thing indescribably dreadful. Since
the Danes have set the example of bet
ter housing, and the use of glass WIN
dows, many of the natives are follow
ing the fashion. The governors sent
out by Denmark are men of culture,
ing has it's effect. Both sexes dress
very much alike, although the differ
entiated European dress is making
Roadway among the Eskimos. Their
own costume is we'll adapted to the
rigors of their long cold; sealskin
pantaloons, close jacket and hood, and
big boots.
Protestant missionaries have Ia
bored with zeal in Greenland, and al
most all the Eskimos are Protestants.
In 1884 the Moravian Brothers entered
this desolate field, and found the ma
tives very submissive to their guild
ance.
Though officially the whole of Green
land belongs to Denmark, the actual
Danish territory is the inhabited part
of the west coast. There are two
"governors" for South and North
Greenland, and commercial agents in
all the stations along the seaboard.
The Moravian missionaries also have
considerable influence. AS to COM
merce-"Greenland trade is an abso-
Lutte monopoly of the Danish govern
ment, which maintains along the coast
some 60 factories where European
wares are given in exchange for such
local produce as sealskins and train
oil, eiderdown feathers, walrus ivory,
fox, bear and reindeer peltry."

to string you up. Of course, know
you better, and don't take any stock
in their yarns. A pair of blue eyes,

''What are the yarns?' queried
Guy, hastily. He resented that allu-
sion to ''blue eyes," especially on the
squire's account.
"Why, Bilkins got back from Har-
mony last night and told about your
being at Vlandingham's. People in
town, though, didn't think much
about that until those Jimtown ras-
