Excerpt from Centennial Annals of St. Luke's Church, Rochester, N. Y., 1817-1917 The place which St. Luke's Church has occupied in the history and religious development of Rochester justifies the presentation in permanent and accessible form of salient facts in its life. As a contribution to the celebra tion of its rounding out of the first century of its existence, these Centennial Annals have been prepared by one who looks back upon the period in which he was privileged to minister within its hallowed walls as the happiest and most useful of his long career. No effort has been spared to secure accuracy in facts and figures, and in every case original sources of informa tion have been consulted where accessible. The epistolary extracts in the earlier part of the Sketch were taken from the Hobart Correspondence, which is in the archives of the General Convention.
