vous system. eloCution, physical culture,
kindergarten. temperance and organiza-
ton Of missionary societies. The medical
lecturers in the New York training school
are ladies. There is some distinction made
between nurse deaconesses and visiting
deaconesses. None are admitted TO the
home over 40 years of age. except by the
unanimous consent of the board of direc-
ton. The deaconess uniform, which IS
sufficient for protection and recognition in
the work and which is in conformity with
that adopted by all deaconess homes. is
worn by the probationers the second year,
but Is not worn during the first year except
by special permission. No salaries are paid,
the work Of the deaC onesses being on the
basis OF self-sacrifce. Candidates prepar-
ing for work among foreign-speakingp eo-
pie. al home or abroad. have TO make
preparation in the language of those
among whom they expect 70 labor. Lii
censes are issued by the conference board
of deaconesses when a satisfactory written
examination has been passed in the sub
iects of study.
Miss Reeves. the efficient superintend-
ent OF the New York home, came from
Chicago to assume the direction of
the work here. She was one OF the first
women licensed by the Methodist Epis-
copal church TO the Office and work
Of a deaconess. Need has existed for
such an order in the Methodist
Episcopal church. and the result of the in
stitution of ceaconesses has been very sat
isfactory. The deaconess goes from door
10 door 10 do good 10 members of any de-
nomination. The work is looked upon as
kind of divine service. AS the yearly re-
port says:
To say that they have made $500 calls since
lest Octobe., that they have given out so many
punches OF flowers, etc. is very cold way of
stating what immessurable good has bean done
BY them IN these visits among the poor aud sick.
They have brought zeal 10 churches in need OF
workers; they have carried courage TO Giseour-
aged mothers; found employment for the unern-
ployed; supplied the destitute sick with nedi-
cine and care: they have Tuinistered TO little
ones just born into the world and have prepared
the dead for burial

The Order of Deaconesses Of
the Methodist Church.
Homes and Training Schools I'm Different
Cities-orIgin OF the Organization and
What It Has Accomplished.
n . nlea.an. nar, of west Fourteenth

In Q pleasant part of West Fourteenth
street, New York, stands a handsome
brown stone, four-story house. Il IS one
of many in the block, but tree spreads Its
outrageous branches in front OF the
house, giving it a rural aspect in the
midst of the great city. This building is
the New York deaconess home and train
ing school of the Methodist Episcopal
church. The names home and training
school are somewhat misleading. Home
suggests rest and quiet, and training
school IS invariably associated With host
of young people undergoing training TO 1T
them for the battle Of life. The deaconess
home has but fifteen inmates, and the
nature Of the work does not permit the es-
adjustment 10 accommodate many more.
I had very pleasant interview with Miss
Isabelle A. Reeves, the superintendent.
who gave me most interesting account of
the origin and development Of this new
order of deaconess. Miss Reeves is the
possessor Of the quality known as magnet
ism. She has kindly. benevolent eyes and
a gentle manner. She was dressed in
black, the uniform OF the deaconesses.
Her voice is low and sympathetic. A pas
sage from Luke gives the keynote 10 the
work of the deaconesses:
Go out quickly into the streets and lanes Of
the city and bring il hither the poor and
manned, and blind and lame. Go out into
highways and b dyes and constrsin them to
come IN, that my house NAV be filed
Miss Reeves said that the first of the dea-
coness homes was in Chicago, and the
movement for their establishment through
OUT the country originated in that city in
June, 1sS7. In the spring OF ISIS az
preachers meeting at Chicago memorial
was sent TO the general conference asking
for recognition and authorization for the
work. The general conference Oft the church
thereupon authorized the institution

Tibbs Talks.

On last Tuesday evening attended
St. James A. M. E. church expecting to
hear q lecture, but instead, except for
the cool and discreet judgement of Ell.
der knight, it must have been reco1 ded
as the most disgraceful and cowardly
attack of set of christians (?) on their
pastor, and be it said to the discredit of
one or two of our so-called leading Afro
American citizens, that while they lacked
the moral courage to make a manly and
bold charge against the much abused
pastor, they found ready assistance in a
man who is fugitive from justice and a
gambler abiding with wife (?) No. 2
He stood up in this church meeting and
assailed the merits of brilliant divine,
whose only fault, according to an official
petition, is that he was not born sooner.
The standard of our religious and mora!
principles in this city, must be sinking
low. Respectfully,
