The work Being Done for Ihsm-Note

The Rev. John Chamberlain OF New
York. representine the Church Mission

Eniscopal church on Sunday last, and,
in addition TO preaching, morning and
evening, gave brief account OF the
work in which he is engaged, ana aiso
held service in the sign language Ior
the deaf-mutes of Brattleboro. Ihls
charitable work is under the charge OF
the Rev. DR.. Gallaudet OF New lork.
1t was his father who founaeG tnS
Hartford asylum for the deaf anu
dumb. DIR. Gallaudet, whose motner
was a deaf-mute, after entering tne
ministry of the Protestant Eplscopai
church, organized a Bible class Ior
mutes in st. Stephen 8 church IN New
York, out of which eventually grew
st. Anne's parish, New York, wheIe
some 100 deaf mutes were conhrmed,
and admitted to the privileges OF tne
church. Out of st. Anne's cnurcn
grew the organization referred TO. "
has its centre of work in New YORK
while certain districts covering the
, entire country are assigned, to several
clereymen and laymen working under
the bishops of different dioceses. Mr..
Chamberlain, who is the chief assist,
ant to DR.. Gallaudet, has for his held
New York, New England and portion
Of New Jersey, and has been engaged
in it for 90 years, not only holding
services in different cities and towns,
but also giving individual assistance
to deaf-mutes who we're sick or need
ed employment. In addition to the
church mission for deaf-mutes, there
Is also the Galaudet Home, near
Pougheepsie, N. Y, where aged and
infirm mutes, and also those who are
blind are received and cared for during
the remainder of their days. There
are over 10000 deaf-mutes in the
United States, and the charitable worl!
of ministering to these "children OF
silence of caring for their
bodily and spiritual necessities should
commend itself to the sympathy and
bcneyolence of all Christian people,
especially when we remember that our
Saviour, when He dwelt on earth,
went about doing good; unstopping
the ears of the deaf, loosening the
tongues Of the dumb and giving slgh'
to the blind. W. II. Coiiins.
