The Rev. J. Milton Boyd studied at the Divinity School, in Phila- delphia, and was ordained Deacon by Bishop Lee, of Delaware, acting for the Bishop of Southern Ohio, June 22, 1882, in the Church of the Holy Trinity, Philadelphia, after which he was assistant to the Rev. J. Mills Kendrick at Emmanuel Church and the Chapel of the Redeemer, Cincinnati, and in 1883 took charge of Emmanuel Church and Trinity Church.
The Rev. William G. Andrews was tutor in Marietta College in 1861-2, and had charge of a Bible class in St. Luke's. He also occasion- ally assisted the rector as lay-reader. He was ordained Deacon by Bishop Odenheimer, of New Jersey, in Trinity Church, Princeton, N. J., Sept. 26, 1862, and Priest by the same Bishop at the same place, Jan. 3, 1864. He did mission work in Princeton and Rocky Hill, N. J., until April, 1866 ; was assistant in Grace Parish, Hamden, Conn., until July, 1867. He was then abroad for some months and the next year took charge of St. Paul's Chapel, New Haven, and was afterwards rector of the Church of the Ascension, New Haven, and then in charge of Trini- ty Church, Princeton, N. J., and in 1881 became rector of Christ Church, Guilford, Conn., where he is at present.
Among his other publications are a sermon on "Christ's Method of dealing with Impurity," (1870) and an oration before the Alumni Asso- ciation of Marietta College on "The Relation of the Scholar to Labor and Capital," (1872). He has written a great deal for newspapers, chief- ly Church and State, and the Standard of the Cross, and has had occa- sional articles in magazines.
NOTE VIII.
A list of the amounts for each year received by St. Luke's Church from the Ministerial Fund of Marietta Township. The amount for each year depends upon the number of Religious Societies applying and the number of names of members (voters) signed and presented by each, as well as upon the amount of the dividend.

NOTE IX.
It has been the custom at Christmastide to trim the church with evergreens. One Christmas Eve, not long after the new church was finished, the decorations were particularly elaborate, including a large reflecting lamp in the corner at the east end of the church, under which was an evergreen tree of good size. Mr. Sheppard was at the organ and Mr. Fell was singing a solo, when he turned to Mr. Sheppard and said that the tree under the lamp was on fire. Mr. Sheppard told him not to mind that and to go on with the singing. But the flames spread quickly on the brittle branches. One gentleman rushed from the congregation and pulled down the tree, another took off his coat and beat the fire while the tree was dragged out. The congregation were of course much disturbed, but one old lady, hearing the music, and thinking it was all a part of the play, exclaimed, "Why. isn't it delightful, there's the Star of Bethlehem and Moses and the Burning Bush !"
The Christmas-Eve service has always been much thought of and before the various denominations began to observe Christmas as they do at present, many of their numbers attended the services at St. Luke's. The week preceding Christmas has always been a joyous time,

pleasant with busy preparations for decorating the church, encircling the pillars of the chancel arch with wreaths of evergreen and hanging long festoons from the center of the roof to the pendant posts at the corners and placing texts and designs in various parts of the building. In 1880 the new frescoing on the walls was made to take the place of the hemlock and pine. It was the first time for many years that the church was not trimmed with evergreen. The Christmas Chronicle of 1881, said : "Perhaps the significance of the Birth Day of Chist, the rising of the Sun of Righteousness, to cast His bright beams of light upon the winter of our ruined estate, could not be more strikingly typi- fied than by the contrast between the sunny days, Christmas Eve and Christmas Day, and the gloomy weather in the midst of which they shone so brightly. The services were well attended and there was a celebration of the Holy Communion at the regular morning service. On Christmas Day, Dr. Boyd wore a new and handsomely made surplice and stole, the gift of the ladies of the Parish."
The season was symbolized by a white altar-cloth and antependia on the desk and pulpit, ornamented with designs in red. These were made by Miss Alice B. Waters and Miss Effie M. Evans. The view of the interior of the church on page 189 was made from a photograph taken by Mr. W. P. Bennet at Christmastide, 1881.
For many years it has been the custom, after the service on Christ- mas Eve, to "sing the people out of church " with "Shout the glad tidings," to the tune Avison.

Had the Rev. Joseph Willard been disposed, while here, "to pursue the design of his ordination," which the Bishop says he was not, he might have greatly strengthened the beginnings of the Church in Marietta. Batchelder's History of the Eastern Diocese has this notice of him:
In 1794, the parish of St. John's Church (Portsmouth, New Hamp- shire) requested Mr. Joseph Willard, a resident graduate of Harvard College, to officiate as Lay Reader. On the 29th of December they gave him an invitation to become their minister. He accepted their invita- tion. February 22nd, 1795, he received Deacon's Orders, and on the 24th of the same month, Priest's Orders, by the Rt. Rev. Samuel Pro- voost, of New York. Mr. Willard remained in Portsmouth until March 20th, 1806. He then removed to New Jersey and became Rector of Trinity Church, Newark. Adam's Anns., 308, 338.
The lists of clergymen printed with the Journals of the General Convention of 1808 and 1811, give him as rector of Trinity Church, Newark, New Jersey. That of 1814 as "residing in New York" (city). It was shortly afterward that he came to Ohio.

ANNIVERSARIES.
1870. The twentieth anniversary of Dr. Boyd's coming to the parish was celebrated at the rectory, an entertainment being provided there for his parishioners, who presented Dr. and Mrs. Boyd with a sil- ver tea-set.
1882. The Semi-Centennial Anniversary of the Sunday school was celebrated on the 3rd Sunday after Easter in the church, at 4o'clock P. M. The scholars marched with banners from the school room to the west entrance of the church, singing "Onward, Christian Soldiers." There were Catechetical exercises, and recitations by the Infant class, and a history of the school was given by the Superintendent. The exercises closed with Hymn 344 in " Hymns Ancient and Modern," collects, and the retrocessional, "Hark, hark, my soul." Handsome cards contain- ing cuts of the two churches and dates in the history of the Parish and Sunday school were distributed as mementos of the occasion.
1883. September 7 being the thirty-third anniversary of Dr. Boyd's coming to the Parish, his parishioners recognized the day by calling on him in the evening at the rectory, where they were received by Dr. and Mrs. Boyd and other members of the family. The Sunday following, Dr. Boyd preached a sermon appropriate to the occasion, the text being from II Corinthians IV, I., "Seeing we have this ministry, as we have received mercy, we faint not ;" in the course of which he said :
"In 1850 the Protestant Episcopal Church had 28 Dioceses and Mis- sionary Jurisdictions. It has now 65. Its 32 bishops have increased to
-
259
APPENDIX.
66. Instead of 1,566 ministers, we now have 3,579. We then had 91,532 communicants; now 350,000, a nearly fourfold increase. Our contribu- tions to missions and benevolence have multiplied from $110,936 to $8,066,404, an increase of nearly eighty fold. And though many relig- ious bodies largely exceed us in numbers, no one has equalled us in growth in these thirty-three years. Between 1850 and 1880 the Presby- terians increased 92 per cent .; the Congregationalists, 95; the Methodists, 169; the Baptists, 201; the Episcopal Church, 278. In 1850, Ohio was all embraced in one Diocese. It is now divided into two. Then there were 84 parishes and missions; now 151, of which 62 are in the Southern Diocese. There were then 69 ministers; now 113, of whom 48 are in this Diocese. Then there were 4,090 communicants; now 12,910, of whom 5,651 are in this Diocese. Then there were 2,350 Sunday school scholars and teachers; now 14,485, of whom 6,092 are in this Diocese. The contributions have increased from $27,102 to $299,450, of which $147,663 are from this Diocese. The parishes and the clergy have not doubled. Communicants have multiplied by two; S. S. teachers and scholars by five, and contributions by ten. While the State of Ohio has increased 613 per cent. our communicants have increased 215 per cent.
-
I have seen 130 newly ordained ministers go out from our Seminary at Gambier. These are distributed in nearly every Diocese, and through foreign mission lands. I have witnessed the organization of parishes and the dissolution of parishes. I have seen the division of the origin- al Diocese into two, and have been under three bishops, of whom one is not.
My vision backward is through a vista of graves. Igraduated from the Seminary in 1850; of my two classmates not one survives, and only one of my instructors (Dr. Bronson). Of the previous 56 graduates, on- ly 16 are living, and but one of these is in our Diocese and he has no charge. Of the 73 bishops then in England and her Colonies, only 3 remain. Of the 32 bishops then in the United States only 5 are living. Of these 5, one has been without jurisdiction 33 years ; one is deposed ; two are past age to render service.
In 1850 two others, with myself, were ordained ; at which time the Diocese had 69 ministers ; of whom 48 were in actual charge of congre- gations. Of the 69 there are still 22 living: of these 22 Ohio has five and Southern Ohio four. Of the five in Ohio two are in charge; of the four in Southern Ohio, one has been without a charge for a quarter of a century and the other three off the active list for many years. Of the ministers now in active service all have come in since I came here. I find myself the sole survivor of all that generation of ministers. I have hearkened to the roll-call until all the old names save four are heard no more among us, and not one even of them in parochial charge.
One after another their names are starred ; I trust their crowns are
1
260
APPENDIX.
starred with souls. I listen in vain for the honored name of Bishop Mellvaine, heading the roll: for the names of the fathers, Morse, Brooke, Gray, Smallwood and Winthrop. They answer to another roll-call. And of all the ministers of the Diocese not one now holds the parish that he held then ; nor indeed does any minister in Ohio, of any faith, now minister to the people to whom he ministered when I came among you. And it may startle you when I say that in the 33 years of my rectorship the various churches in Ma- rietta and Harmar have been served by 149 ministers in actual charge.
In these 33 years the Episcopal Church in Ohio has increased 215 per cent .: St. Luke's has increased 220 per cent. To come directly to our own city, Marietta has increased in population 70 per cent .; our communion has increased 220 per cent.
It is somewhat encouraging that our church members in Ohio, have increased three times as rapidly as the population of the State, and that the communicants of our parish have increased more than three times as fast as the population of our city. And if we compare the Churches of the city: the Congregational Church has not increased 20 - per cent .; the Methodist, not 20: the Baptist, 421; the Episcopal, 20. Yet there is no room for boasting: much room for humiliation; and a little for encouragement. Besides all other ministries, I have preached to you more than four thousand times. Men often estimate how many shots are fired in war to every one that is killed. Who shall estimate how many arrows of truth are shot for every soul that is pierced to the quick. For. let whoever will draw the bow, the arrow is from the Lord's quiver. One encouraging feature is the largely increased proportion of men in our communion, though the pro- portion is still painfully smail. Another cheering fact is the increased proportion of the young in our fellowship. In 1850 there was but one who could be so called, while of those confirmed since, the large pro- portion have been young."
NOTE XIII.
The first clergyman of the Protestant Episcopal Church in Western Virginia and Eastern Ohio was the Rev. Dr. Joseph Doddridge, of Wellsburg, Brooke County, Virginia, "who, for a series of years, la- boured in the good cause single-handed and almost without remunera- tion." Following the early emigrants from Maryland and Virginia, many of whom were attached to the Mother Church, he ministered, after his ordination in 1792, in Western Pennsylvania and then at Wellsburg, Virginia, and going still further, in the region of Steuben- ville, Ohio, numerous Church families having moved to that side of the river.
' The first church built in Western Virginia was St. John's, in a par-
1
261
APPENDIX.
ish a few miles from Wellsburg, in 1792-3. Here Dr. Doddridge was followed by the Rev. John Armstrong and the Rev. John Thomas Wheat, of Wheeling. Dr. Doddridge officiated monthly at Steuben- ville "some years previous to the close of the last century" and early extended his missionary excursions to Cross Creek, St. Clairsville, Mor. ristown, Cambridge and Zanesville, and also to Chillicothe. The year 1796 is the date of his first officiating in this State.
The town of Worthington was settled in the Autumn of 1803, by numerous Church families from Hartford County, Connecticut, who at once made provision for the support of Church services.
The first parish organized in Ohio was St. John's, Worthington, February, 6, 1804, which church, "to the pious and provident generosity of the first proprietors of the town," was "indebted for a Glebe of about 100 acres (70 of first rate bottom land and 30 of wood land)." This was also the first parish incorporated in the State, January 27, 1807. The Act gives the names of thirty-one men "and their associates " as the incorporators.
NOTE XIV. -
There are one hundred and thirty churches of the Protestant Epis- copal Church in the United States named in honor of St. Luke. Any one sufficiently interested to take the trouble can learn the number of churches of any particular name by counting them in a Parish List. Some of the largest numbers are among the following :
St. Matthew, 45. St. John, 353. St. Mary, 83.
St. Mark, 131. Grace, 269. Trinity, 384.
St. Luke, 130. St. Paul, 359. Christ, 346.
There are about 3000 parishes in the United States and probably the number of churches does not vary largely from that.
In looking over the List one will see besides the names in our Cal- endar those of some Saints not found there, such as St. George, St. David, St. Margaret, St. Anne, St. Martin, St. Philip the Deacon, St. Helena, St. Mary Magdalene, St. Dennis, Santiago, St. Columba, St. Timothy, St. Athanasius, St. Wilfred, St. Joseph, St. Gabriel, St. Anti- pas, St. Ignatius, St. Cornelius, St. Augustine, St. Chrysostom, St. Cyprian, St. Ansgarius, St. Sylvanus, St. Ambrose, St. Clement. St. Alban ; other names are : The Beloved Disciple, The Faithful Centu- rion, Good Samaritan, Bp. Seabury, Holy Martyrs, Holy Apostles, Holy Evangelists, Zion, Bethel, Gethsemane, Mt. Olivet, Calvary, Holy Sep- ulchre, Grace, Divine Love, The Reconciliation, Intercession, Regener- ation, Heavenly Rest, Reformation, Gloria Dei, Holy Cross, St. Saera- ment, Holy Communion, Bread of Life, House of Prayer, Annunciation, Advent, Nativity, Incarnation, Epiphany, Transfiguration, Crucifixion, Resurrection, Ascension, Covenant, Hope, All Faith, All Hallows, St.

Esprit, Holy Spirit, Holy Comforter, Holy Name, Holy Fellowship, St. Sauveur, Merciful Saviour, Redeemer, Messiah, Prince of Peace, Media- tor, Intercessor, Christ, Our Saviour, Emmanuel, Good Shepherd, Holy Child Jesus; memorial churches and those known by the name of the parish or town; those which have a local significance, as: The Church of the Nativity, at Bethlehem, Pennsylvania; Bethesda, at Saratoga Springs ; Trinity, at Three Rivers, Michigan ; Centurion, at Elizabeth City, Virginia, a military post.
In England the number of churches named in honor of St. Luke is very small-nineteen-and one in honor of St. Luke and All Saints.
Some of the largest numbers are among the following:
St. Matthew, 30. SS. Peter and Paul, 230. St. Peter, 830.
St. Mark, 13. St. John Baptist, 390. St. Mary, 2120.
St. Luke, 19. St. Andrew, 600. St. Michael, 600.
St. John, 250. Trinity, 310 old churches and a large per cent. of all modern churches. The churches named in honor of St. Mary num- ber about one-fifth of the ancient churches in England.
