Protestant Episcopal Church is an interesting
one, and the promised letters about the " set
ting apart" of the candidates and their work
will be eagerly awaited by all who rejoice in
good work being done.
s02 BROADWAY, New YORK, Nov. 26, 1892.
For several years there has existed in the
minds of devout and thoughtful Bishops and
ministers of the Protestant Episcopal Church
desire to restore in their communion the
ancient Order of Deacouesses, established in
the primitive Church, adapting this REIN
stated deaconate to the needs and surroundings
of modern times and our Western civilization.
Books and pamphlets were written and pub
lished, and investigations made into the good
work done by women trained at Kaiserswerth
and elsewhere. Practical methods were studied,
and after earnest prayer and much cOnsidera-
tion plan was presented to the General Con-
venton of 1885, resulting in the Canon on
Deacouesses which provides THAT every can
didate for the Office, before she is set apart shall
have had an adequate preparation for her
work. both technical and religious, which
preparation shall have covered the period of
two years."
In virtue of this canon training schools have
been established in more than one diocese.
The purpose of this article is to describe the
New York Training School for DeaconesseS, at
present holding its sessions at Grace House, S02
Broadway.
This school has been incorporated according
to the laws of the State in which it is situated,
and placed under the management Of Board
of Trustees the Bishop of the Diocese, Rt. Rev.
Henry c. Potter, D. D., being the visitor and
having the right of nomination in filling all
the vacancies in the Board. The President is
