ices receive no money during their
training except very small allowance

home, doing the household work, and
all their spare time is taken up in study

The novices take complete course Of
Bible study, and they listen to practi-

temperance. At the end of 12 months
they know their Bibles thoroughly. they
arc familiar with large assortment of

ton; know what to do in case of emer-
gencies arising from accidents, can tell
inexperienced mothers what to do for
their babies when they have Group,
whooping cough, commissions or other
diseases and can supply the place of a
hospital nurse by bedsides where such
a luxury is sorely needed.
Thus equipped, they go forth to search
out the poor, the sick and the wretched.
When they become full f1edged deacon
esses, they adopt the uniform of the or

their travels about the slums. 1t con-

In New York the Methodist deacon
esses occupy substantial, big house in
the heart of the city. Their home is in
charge of Miss Isabelle A. Reeves, who
is the superintendent. Miss Mary JEFF
ferson is the superintendent of the Chi
cago home. The expenses of sustaining
these homes are met by voluntary con-
tributions, given mainly by Methodists,
and the general direction of the affairs
of the order is in charge of board
created by the general conference. The
homes always have a full complement,
for there seems to be no lack of young
women who wish to become deaconesses.
