PrOtestant sIsturhoods


The action Of the house of bishops of
the Episcopal church, on Tuesday, in
adopting o canon Tor the organization
o. u s%'sterhood Of d~eaconesses, is very
significant. 1t proves that church. ike
the Roman Catholic, appreciates the i'm.
poTtanee Of Systematically utilizing the
plety and religious zeal of its female
members. Already there are sister.
hoods in the Episcopal church, the MEM
0era OF which wear a religious habit. and
temporarily or permanently devote them
selves to religious, educational, or char,
liable work, The action of the house Of
bishops, which will doubtless be aus.
tanned by the house of delegates of the
general convention, will lead to the
extension Of these agencies within The
church, and Protestant sisters, clad in a
religious habit, will become common. 1t
IS safe to predict that there will be no
lack Of applicants for appointments as
d~eaccuesses. There are maidens disap.

will take a step which will awaken much
interest and doubtless excite some oppo-
sition.
1t can hardly fail to be charged that
these sisterhoods of deaconesses will
eventually become as rigid in their rules
and requirements as the sisterhoods of
the Roman Catholic Church, and thus
prove a means Of leading the Episcopal
Church nearer to Rome, something very
obnoxious to frotestants generally. But
s%isterhoods, both High Church and Low
Church in their lesnings, have been.in
existence in this city for a number of
years without fatal consequences, and
the amount Of practical good they have
accomplished among the poor has been
simply immense.
