Cleveland, o., Dec. 12.-Rev. Austin
w. Mann is the most interesting mis-
sionary in the world today. HIS work
is with the deaf mutes of the United
States. For over 80 years this silent
conscientious Episcopal minister has
been about the United States, carrying
with him cheer and hope to the deaf
mutes OF the country.
II is a asstrange sight to see minister
stand in the pulpit delivering his mes !
sage to a congregation yet during the
entire service no word or sound Is
heard. With fast flying fingers he
brings the same message Of Christian
service as do the other more fortunate
ministers. Certain 1t is, that no speak
er receives more rapt attention than
does Rev. Austin Mann. Those people
who understand the sign language
state that his talks are vitaIly inter
.esting and highly polished oratorical
product.
Mr. Mann was the first deaf mute
ordained west of the Alieghenieg, and
the second since apostolic days. on
January 25. 1877, ne was ordained TO
the ministry OF the Episcopal church
hy Bishop BedelI Of Cleveland, which
city is now his headquarters. The only
minister ordained before Mr.. Mann
died some years ago so that now he
Is dean OF the deaf mute clergy Of
America, and the oldest deaf mute,
Clergyman in the world. In fact, there
are but nine Of the silent ministers in
the world
Mr.. Mann has founded silent mis-
sions' in. all the large cities of the
middle west. In 1886 he held the first
service according to the prayer book
of the Episcopal church, on the Pacific
coast, San Francisco. He has also
spoken in New Orleans and the large
eastern cities. Besides this, he has
spoken in Canada and Great Britain,
and has represented the church's mis-
sion to deaf mutes at many conven-
tions. During his ministry of thir-
ty-six years he has Travelled more than
100000 miles to preach the sign Ian
guage to his afflicted parishoners.

This man OF silence" was born at
Pendleton, Ind, Dec. 16, 1s41. Up to
the age of years he could hear and
speak perfectly, and was in normal
health, but at this tender age scarlet
fever destroyed his hearing. and left
him so very lame that since that time
he has suffered intense pain at every
step. He was educated at the Indi-
ana institution for deaf mutee, In In
dianapolis, and later was on the teach
ing staff of the Michigan Deaf Mute
school at Flint.
His regular Sunday services-and he
gets around to each as often as NAV
be-include parishes in Detroit Grand
Rapids Kalamazoo. Chicago. Indian
apolis, Louisville, Cincinnati Dayton.
Columbus, Toledo, Youngstown, and.
of course, his home city.
He serves smaller parishes on week
days. going all the time. He has held
more than 5000 services, has ofFIciated
IN 4as parishes, and his .baptisms to
date number t,014. The list OF ais ac-
tiyities abroad includes London, Liver
pool, GLASGOW Belfast Dublin and
Cork, and every state and territory
In America has had the benefit OF his
helpful presence.
Small wonder the bishops OF Ohio
look upon this travelling missionary
with regard and affection
Rev. DIR. A. S. Lloyd, secretary of the
board OF missions, says of the work Of
this noble missionary to the deaf
mutes:
Il am sure that Rev. Mr.. sMann's
work, apart from the astonishing de-
votion that has marked II, deserves
everything in reason that he can ask
OF the church. | do not believe any
body can measure the influence that
silent old man has exerted on mems
lives, as they have seen him going up
and down in the church, fulfilling his
days work. have never come in
contact with him without feeling
that should ever have OBJ
jected to anything that befeIl me in
the days work; and have no doubt
that my feeling has been experienced
by multitude of Others"
