WHEREAS THE CHURCH WARDENS AND VESTRYMEN of St. Luke's Church of the Town of Marietta and State of Ohio, have, by an Instru- ment this day presented to me, appropriated and devoted a house of Public Worship erected by them in the said town of Marietta to the worship and service of ALMIGHTY GOD, the FATHER, the SON, and the HOLY GHOST, according to the provisions of the Protestant Episcopal Church in the United States of America, in its Ministry, Doctrines, Liturgy, Rites and Usages; and by a Congregation in com- munion with said CHURCH, and in union with the Convention there- of in the Diocese of Ohio.
AND WHEREAS the same CHURCHWARDENS and VESTRYMAN have, by the same Instrument, requested me to take their said House of Worship under my spiritual jurisdiction as BISHOP of the Diocese of Ohio, and that of my Successors in Office, and to consecrate it by the name of ST. LUKE'S CHURCH, and thereby separate it from all unhal- lowed, worldly, and common uses, and solenmly dedicate it to the holy purposes above mentioned.
NOW THEREFORE, KNOW ALL MEN BY THESE PRESENTS, that I, CHARLES PETTIT MCILVAINE, by Divine permission BISHOP of the Diocese of Ohio, have, on this twenty-fourth day of September in the year of our LORD one thousand eight hundred and fifty seven, ta- ken the above mentioned House of Worship under my spiritual juris- diction as BisHor aforesaid, and that of my Successors in Office; and, in the presence of divers of the Clergy, and a public congregation there- in assembled, and according to the form prescribed by the PROTESTANT EPISCOPAL CHURCH in the United States of America, have CONSECRA- TED the same by the name of ST. LUKE'S CHURCH.
AND I DO HEREBY pronounce and declare, that the said ST. LUKE'S CHURCH is CONSECRATED accordingly and thereby separated hence- forth from all unhallowed, worldly, and common uses, and dedicated to the Worship and Service of ALMIGHTY GOD, the FATHER, the SON, and the HOLY GHOST, for reading and preaching His holy Word, for celebrating His holy Sacraments, for offering to His glorious Majesty the Sacrifices of Prayer, Praise, and Thanksgiving, for blessing His people in His Name, and for the performance of all other Holy Offices, agreeably to the terms of the Covenant of Grace and Salvation in our Lord and Saviour JESUS CHRIST, and according to the provi- sions of the PROTESTANT EPISCOPAL CHURCH in the United States of America, in its Ministry, Doctrines, Liturgy, Rites, and Usages.
IN TESTIMONY WHEREOF, I have hereunto affixed my Seal and Signature, in Marietta, on the day and in the year above written, and in the twenty-fifth year of my Consecration.

CHRISTMAS EVE, 1858.
December 13. A detailed report of the expenses of the new church property, with the condition of the fund applicable to that object, was furnished to the Vestry by Mr. Rolston, and on his motion Messrs. Rhodes and Wells were appointed a committee to audit the accounts of the new church property.
The Rector was present in the Convention of June, 1857.
The Report says of the church : Since last Convention, our little . parish has commenced the erection of a new church building: but at the present stage of its progress anything like a correct report of it would be impracticable.
1858. February 1. The Vestry accepted the proposition of the Ger- man Evangelist Protestant St. Luke's Church to buy the old church edifice for $1500.
Mr. Rhodes resigned as Secretary of the New Church Fund and Mr. Rolston was made Treasurer of the same. The committee to audit Mir. Rolston's accounts reported them all correct.
Christmas Eve. The Home News of Saturday, January 1, 1859, no- ticing the Festival of Christmas, gives this account of the Service. At St. Luke's Church there was a crowded audience. The Evening Service was read by the Rector. Rev. John Boyd, with unusual animation : fol- lowing which he preached one of the most eloquent and finished ser- mons ever delivered in that house. His text was from Ist Timothy, iii, 16, and his object was to exhibit the light which the Incarnation throws upon the nature of God, the nature of man, and the union of God with man. Though quite long, the discourse was listened to with great at- tention throughout. The excellent choir of this church added not a little to the interest of the occasion.
The House was neatly decorated with evergreen and lighted up with gas for the first time. The chandeliers are much admired.
The Rector was present in the Convention of 1858.
The Bishop said in his Convention Address : Since the last Conven- tion, I have consecrated two churches: St. Paul's Church, Cleveland. and St. Luke's, Marietta. * Of the church at Marietta, I must say that in excellence of structure, in the combination of a wise econo- my with a judicious taste, and in the fact that a building, which must have cost the parish a great effort, was completed and furnished with- out debt, our brethern in Marietta have set the diocese a good example of energy, co-operation and wisdom in church building, which I trust will do good beyond their own beautiful town.
1859. May 25. Messrs. J. E. Hall and Chas. R. Rhodes chosen del- egates to the Diocesan Convention. The latter was present in the Con- vention with the Rector.
The Convention of 1859 elected for Assistant Bishop the Rev. Gregory Thurston Bedell, D. D., and he was consecrated at St. Paul's Church, Richmond, Va., October 13, 1859.
September 20. Committee appointed to prepare a statement of the pecuniary condition of the parish and present it to the parish meeting on the 2sth inst.
C. R. Rhodes elected Treasurer of the Parish in place of A. L. Guit- teau resigned.
1860. May 14. M. P. Wells and C. R. Rhodes chosen delegates to the Diocesan Convention. The Parish however had no representative present in the Convention.

BISHOP BEDELL'S FIRST VISIT.
June 10. Bishop Bedell made his first visitation here. (For dates of other visitations see list of confirmations in the Appendix.) Bishop Bedell says (Journal of 1861): Immediately on the rising of the Con- vention, June 9, 1860, I commeneed a visitation of the river parishes.
June 10, 11. First Sunday after Trinity, visited St. Luke's Church, Marietta, preached twice, and confirmed eleven persons.
This church has been neatly repaired and furnished. All its ar- rangements are tasteful. I would especially commend the Sunday School room. It is in the rear of the church, connected with the audi- ence chamber and the vestry room, on the same floor and under one roof, and is airy and pleasant. The arrangement is convenient, and in this case has the additional merit of adding architectural effect to the building. The tone of a Sunday School is elevated by an agreeable apartment, whilst a low basement depresses it. Scholars are insensibly animated by the pleasantness of a school room, for the effect of instruc- tion depends much on light and ventilation. All a congregation's care for the comfort and health of their Sunday School will be returned in its Increased efficiency and in the enthusiasm of its scholars.
December 3. Resolved that the Parish have mid-week service in the Lecture-room in the nature of a Bible class; lessons to be an- nounced by the Pastor from the desk each Sunday.
1861. Easter Monday, April 1. The Parish elected J. F. Hall, Senior Warden, John Kendrick, Junior Warden, and E. W. Buell, I. R. Waters, C. B. Hall, M. P. Wells, C. R. Rhodes, W. L. Rolston and F. A. Wheeler, Vestrymen.
April 8. At a Parish meeting it was learned "that the church and ground cost about $12,000; that there is now due from the individual members of the Vestry on behalf of the Parish about the sum of $4100; this is the balance after absorbing the assets.
The individual members of the Vestry used their own credit to build the church instead of the credit of the Parish."
The Vestry chose C. R. Rhodes Secretary and Treasurer of the Parish. D. G. Mathews chosen vestryman in place of F. A. Wheeler, resigned.
May 20. J. E. Hall and C. R. Rhodes elected delegates to the Con- vention. No representative from St. Luke's was present in the Conven- tion.
1862. Easter Monday, April 21. The Wardens and Vestry of the previous year were re-elected, excepting that F. A. Wheeler was substi- tuted in the place of I. R. Waters.
The Vestry chose C. R. Rhodes Secretary and Treasurer.
July 18. The Vestry accepted Win. G. Bloomfield's proposition for the purchase of the parsonage-for the sum of $1500.
"The Old Parsonage clustered with precious associations. In it three young lives came first to the light. And the heart-joys and heartaches felt there are sacred. It was the place of baptisms and trans- figurations and communings."
This building was afterwards bought by St. Paul's ( German ) Church and moved to the church on the corner of Fifth and Scammel streets.
. It was Resolved that Mr. Rolston be authorized to rent Mr. D. C. Skinner's house near the Library Hall, for the sum of $150 a year for a parsonage.
The Parish was not represented in the Convention of 1862.

By the above Exhibit, it will be seen that, although the Church is out of debt, we have no Parsonage -- the want of which adds to the cur- rent expenses one hundred and fifty dollars a year.
It was the understanding of the Vestry, at the time of the last sub- scription, by which it was proposed to raise $4,700 to pay the entire in- debtedness of the Church, that they should subscribe $3,200, and the balance of the Parish the remaining $1,500. The Vestry promptly sub- scribed and paid their $3,200, but only a part of the $1,500 to be raised by the Parish, was subscribed or paid. In consequence of this, a part of the money from sale of Parsonage was used to pay the Church debt. We now say to the Parish, if you will subscribe the balance of the $1,500, ($925,) to make good that fund, we will proceed at once to erect a suitable Parsonage on the Church grounds.

The large "Sundries" items are made up of amounts collected on subscriptions and paid on notes given by the Vestry.
1863. April 1. The necessity of building a parsonage was discussed. The Parsonage was built during the summer, Mr. W. L. Rolston having the superintendence of the work.
October 8. "The Rector moved into the new parsonage. May God ever overshadow it with His Presence and fill all hearts dwelling in it with His Glory."
November 4. Bishop Bedell, coming from Zanesville down the Muskingum on his way to Pomeroy and Gallipolis remained a day in Marietta, waiting for a boat. He says (Journal of 1864): At Marietta I was privileged to see the evidence of a healthy activity in the Parish, in a new, tasteful, substantial and commodious Parsonage. Having paid the debt on their church, the people immediately erected this house on their church lot, for the comfort of their Pastor, and the last- ing well-being of the Parish. The example ought to be followed by
