Excerpt from History of the Presbytery of Luzerne, State of Pennsylvania The history of a Presbytery differs from a biography in this, that it is the history of an institution, while biography is the history of an individual. A Presbytery is made up of individuals, and it will be in character what the individuals, ministers and elders, comprising it, make it. Biography cannot be eliminated from church history, and, as a result of this, the history of Luzerne Presbytery, as presented by the Rev. Jonathan Osmond, is very largely biographical. The same is true of all church history, including the history of the Reformation of the 16th century. Over what territory did the Presbytery of Luzerne extend? What were the conditions of the country - social, commercial and religious, over which it extended? What were its prospects and its aims? And what, under divine guidance, did this Presbytery accomplish before it was merged in the Presbyteries of Lackawanna and Lehigh? were all questions germane to the subject of this history; and these questions Mr. Osmond has attempted to answer in connection with the biographical sketches of the men who did the work in this mission field. Mr. Osmond came into the Presbytery shortly after its organization and immediately after graduating from Princeton Theological Seminary.

Excerpt from History of the Church of the Brethren of the Western District of Pennsylvania The title of this book does not hint at the extent of interest that will center in it. Herein is a well-prepared account of the rise and development of the congregations of the Church of the Brethren of Western Pennsylvania; but interwoven in it is an inevitable thread whose strands reach almost Brotherhood-wide. In Western Pennsylvania the Brethren labored long and well in behalf of the Master. Through many hardships in earlier days they established the faith in the midst of the beautiful Alleghanies. No service has ever been rendered more cheerfully and hopefully than theirs. But the valleys were too narrow for all their children and scattered throughout the West in almost even State one finds "Somerset County stock" prosperous and flourishing. All these scattered descendants will be interested in the story of beginnings in the old home District; and thus the usefulness of the book grows and grows until who can forecast where its presence will not be felt? The author is well fitted to write the book. Born and reared in one of the stronger congregations of the District, breathing fully the spirit of his environment, in full sympathy with the ideals of the people who have built up the organization, he could fully enter into a proper appreciation of all the data gathered and give due stress to salient facts.
