The Letters of Pliny the Younger This upbringing favoured a natural tendency towards religious mysticism which was also promoted by the creed of the church to which she latterly belonged, and of which she was a deaconess. The Journal of Abnormal Psychology, Volume 10 There is a Lads’ Institute, where the deaconesses have classes and meet the boys in a friendly way; a men’s lodging-house, where a comfortable bed and shelter can be had for eight cents a night. Deaconesses in Europe and their Lessons for America The deaconesses are of all classes, many of them being ladies who devote their time, talent, and means to forward the cause. Deaconesses in Europe and their Lessons for America When a probationer becomes a deaconess she is consecrated to her work by a service the main features of which it may be well to indicate. Deaconesses in Europe and their Lessons for America The following extracts, taken from a little circular called “A Missionary Training-school,” will give us a good idea of the life of the embryo deaconesses, and the instruction, practical and theoretical, that they receive. Deaconesses in Europe and their Lessons for America No working force is wasted; if a deaconess possess a special talent, she is given a field in which to exercise it; and if exceptional conditions arise workers are found ready to meet them. Deaconesses in Europe and their Lessons for America Phebe194/190 belonged to the order of deaconesses, in which capacity she had been the helper of many, including Paul himself. Deaconesses in Europe and their Lessons for America In connection with this guild are associates, who have a similar relation to the members of the Women Workers’ Guild that the associates have to deaconesses in the English deaconess houses. Deaconesses in Europe and their Lessons for America A similar consecration service is used by nearly all the German deaconess houses. Deaconesses in Europe and their Lessons for America There are a great many ladies who for a long time have been engaged in doing the practical work of a deaconess without being clothed in the garb, or invested with the office. Deaconesses in Europe and their Lessons for America The Church of Scotland recognized these workers by providing two classes of deaconesses, who should be equal in position, but have different spheres of activity. Deaconesses in Europe and their Lessons for America It was located at Edinburgh, as the most central and convenient place for the institution, and as furnishing the most available advantages for the instruction and training of the deaconesses.

Deaconesses in Europe and their Lessons for America The General Assembly provided that deaconesses should be solemnly inducted into their office at a religious service in church. Deaconesses in Europe and their Lessons for America The mention of any facts that can bring before us the varied character that the deaconess work can assume is valuable. Deaconesses in Europe and their Lessons for America Within the Church of England the recognition accorded deaconesses is a partial one, resting on the principles and rules signed by the archbishops and eighteen bishops, and suggested for adoption in 1871. Deaconesses in Europe and their Lessons for America The German deaconess houses, while receiving the practical indorsement of the207/203 State Church of Germany, are not in any way officially connected with it. Deaconesses in Europe and their Lessons for America Neatly eight hundred deaconesses, sent from more than thirty mother-houses, cared for the sick and wounded in the camp hospitals or on the field. Deaconesses in Europe and their Lessons for America The same fact applies to the Paris deaconess houses. Deaconesses in Europe and their Lessons for America No further results were reached, as the synod contented itself with resolving that “this Ministerium awaits with deep interest the result of the work made in behalf of the institution of Protestant deaconesses at Pittsburg.” Deaconesses in Europe and their Lessons for America It was determined to secure German deaconesses as nurses. Deaconesses in Europe and their Lessons for America When Elizabeth Fry first visited Kaiserswerth, among the arrangements214/210 that she at once recognized and commended was that by which each deaconess was given the privacy of her own apartment. Deaconesses in Europe and their Lessons for America In a book of these dimensions no exhaustive historical account can be given of all the developments of the deaconess movement in the various countries on the Continent. Deaconesses in Europe and their Lessons for America There are at present thirty-two deaconesses at the Philadelphia Mother-house, twenty of whom are probationers. Deaconesses in Europe and their Lessons for America In 1888 four others joined her, and the building of a hospital and deaconess home is now progressing by the generous support of all classes of philanthropists in Omaha. Deaconesses in Europe and their Lessons for America A deaconess home has also recently been founded by Norwegian Lutherans in South Brooklyn, L. I. Deaconesses in Europe and their Lessons for America In the German Reformed Church a layman endeavored in 1866 to arouse interest in the deaconess office. Deaconesses in Europe and their Lessons for America There are also a hospital, a home for aged women, a servants’ training-school and a foundling asylum under the charge of the deaconesses. Deaconesses in Europe and their Lessons for America The deaconesses look to no organization of persons to furnish the pecuniary aid required by the demands of their position. Deaconesses in Europe and their Lessons for America The influence of the devout German pastor is indelibly stamped upon the deaconess cause in whatever denomination it has developed during the nineteenth century. Deaconesses in Europe and their Lessons for America In one feature, however, the deaconesses of Alabama differ from either their German or English sisters, and that is in the care of their individual means. Deaconesses in Europe and their Lessons for America The “Constitution and Rules” says: “The private funds of deaconesses shall not be expended without the approval of the chief deaconess or the bishop.” Deaconesses in Europe and their Lessons for America Strasburg continues to be a great and powerful center of deaconess activities, having a number of branch houses and various fields of work. Deaconesses in Europe and their Lessons for America This usage prevails in sisterhoods, but, outside of this instance, so far as the author has been able to learn is not known in deaconess institutions. Deaconesses in Europe and their Lessons for America The feature of the union of the associates with the deaconesses is one whose importance can scarcely be exaggerated. Deaconesses in Europe and their Lessons for America In the Diocese of Long Island Bishop Littlejohn instituted an association of deaconesses by publicly admitting six women to the office of deaconess in St. Mary’s Church, Brooklyn, February 11, 1872. Deaconesses in Europe and their Lessons for America Still this sisterhood retains many of the distinctive deaconess features. Deaconesses in Europe and their Lessons for America The affiliated house at M�lhausen has obtained an especially good report for its successful use of parish deaconesses. Deaconesses in Europe and their Lessons for America A memorial was prepared, and was presented to the General Conference in May, 1888, by the Rock River Conference, through its Conference delegates, asking for Church legislation with reference to deaconesses. Deaconesses in Europe and their Lessons for America Thoburn, also presented a memorial asking for the institution of an order of deaconesses who should have authority to administer the sacrament to the women of India. Deaconesses in Europe and their Lessons for America A home for deaconesses has been established in Chicago, and others of a similar character are proposed in other cities. Deaconesses in Europe and their Lessons for America No vow shall be exacted from any deaconess, and any one of their number shall be at liberty to relinquish her position as a deaconess at any time. Deaconesses in Europe and their Lessons for America The remainder are parish deaconesses, who go forth early in the morning, each to her own quarter of the city, where she is busy at her labors during the day. Deaconesses in Europe and their Lessons for America When working singly each deaconess shall be under the direction of the pastor of the church with which she is connected. Deaconesses in Europe and their Lessons for America What was to be the relation of the deaconess homes, that were arising, to the230/226 Conference board appointed by the Annual Conference? Deaconesses in Europe and their Lessons for America The deaconesses are never allowed to forget that they serve in a threefold capacity: “Servants of the Lord Jesus; servants of the sick and poor, ‘for Jesus’ sake;’ servants one to another.” Deaconesses in Europe and their Lessons for America There is no other one place in which to obtain the practical and theoretical instruction234/230 that is needed for the education of a deaconess well equipped for her work. Deaconesses in Europe and their Lessons for America Then there is a closet amply provided with sewing materials, and when the deaconess obtains work for seamstresses she furnishes them at a small price the necessary outfit to begin sewing. Deaconesses in Europe and their Lessons for America Furthermore, the deaconess home offers a wide and varied field for those possessing different gifts. Deaconesses in Europe and their Lessons for America The field of work of the deaconess in modern times is a large one. Deaconesses in Europe and their Lessons for America The service in hospitals seems especially incumbent upon Christian women, and in the early history of these institutions we find deaconesses mentioned in connection with them. Deaconesses in Europe and their Lessons for America The nursing care of deaconesses in insane asylums is especially valuable. Deaconesses in Europe and their Lessons for America The remaining sum is expended by the deaconesses in their several districts in caring for the sick and103/99 destitute. Deaconesses in Europe and their Lessons for America The usefulness of deaconesses as care-takers in all kinds of hospitals and homes for the aged, and asylums of every description, is so apparent that it does not need to be dwelt upon. Deaconesses in Europe and their Lessons for America I do not object to the deaconess and her work, but I do object to her distinctive dress. Deaconesses in Europe and their Lessons for America It is true that when a Christian woman occupies the position of a deaconess she must relinquish wholly all other pursuits so long as she holds this office. Deaconesses in Europe and their Lessons for America The practical question may occur to some one who reads these pages, “What shall I do to become a deaconess?” Deaconesses in Europe and their Lessons for America In marked contrast to Dettelsau is the deaconess house at Berne. Deaconesses in Europe and their Lessons for America The associate is a real officer in many of the deaconess establishments in London. Deaconesses in Europe and their Lessons for America The Author has aimed to present an accurate and concise statement of the deaconess cause as it exists at the present time. Deaconesses in Europe and their Lessons for America What was the deaconess of St. Paul’s epistles? Deaconesses in Europe and their Lessons for America These words of St. Paul are especially valuable as an apostolic witness for the existence of the office of deaconess at the time when he wrote. Deaconesses in Europe and their Lessons for America In every mother-house there represented the administrative head is twofold, consisting of a gentleman, who, with rare exceptions, is a clergyman, and a lady who is a deaconess. Deaconesses in Europe and their Lessons for America They are an apostolic commendation of the office addressed to the Christian Church of all times to accept the deaconess in the Lord, and to assist her “in whatsoever business she hath need of you.” Deaconesses in Europe and their Lessons for America By some Church fathers widows were called deaconesses, and deaconesses widows. Deaconesses in Europe and their Lessons for America By combining the different references we obtain a tolerably clear picture of the deaconess and her duties. Deaconesses in Europe and their Lessons for America The office of the deaconess, as described by the Apostolic Constitutions, fitted into the needs of the Eastern Church and the requirements of Greek life. Deaconesses in Europe and their Lessons for America The good results of the work of deaconesses in the other Protestant bodies of Germany doubtless had their influence upon German Methodism. Deaconesses in Europe and their Lessons for America Forty-six deaconesses were under his direction—forty attached to the mother church at Constantinople, and six belonging to a small church in the suburbs. Deaconesses in Europe and their Lessons for America In another place, writing to the same deaconess, he praises “your steadfast soul, true to God; yea, rather, your noble and most manly soul.” Deaconesses in Europe and their Lessons for America They were little favorable to the strength of mind, the fixedness of purpose, the self-denial and Christian devotion that marked this noble deaconess. Deaconesses in Europe and their Lessons for America The question of the age at which deaconesses could be received is a vexed one. Deaconesses in Europe and their Lessons for America To-day there is no branch of German Methodism more successfully and substantially incorporated into the Church life than the deaconess society, and none that wins greater favor among those outside of denominational lines. Deaconesses in Europe and their Lessons for America The confusion of apprehension touching deaconesses and widows led to differing enactments at different times and places. Deaconesses in Europe and their Lessons for America The withdrawing of church sanctions made the deaconess cause a private one. Deaconesses in Europe and their Lessons for America About the year 600 A.D. the patriarch of Constantinople, godfather of the Emperor Mauritius, built for his sister, who was a deaconess, a church which for centuries was called the “Church of the Deaconesses.” Deaconesses in Europe and their Lessons for America In the twelfth century there were still deaconesses at Constantinople. Deaconesses in Europe and their Lessons for America The last report, issued in July, 1888, shows an increase in numbers both of deaconesses and their stations. Deaconesses in Europe and their Lessons for America Yet these references are sufficient to enable us to affirm that deaconesses were a factor in the life of the Church for from nine to twelve centuries, or two thirds of the Christian era. Deaconesses in Europe and their Lessons for America The superior sanctity attached to the unmarried state, that brought about the celibacy of the priests, gradually changed the active beneficent existence of the old-time deaconesses into the cloistral life of nuns. Deaconesses in Europe and their Lessons for America One of these movements well worth our study originated in Belgium while the last of the Greek deaconesses were still daily walking the arched pathway that led to their church in Constantinople. Deaconesses in Europe and their Lessons for America There were certainly many points of resemblance between these women who were so active in the sphere of Christian charity in the twelfth and thirteenth centuries and the deaconesses of Europe to-day. Deaconesses in Europe and their Lessons for America But the government has now started a day-home for this district of the city, so this part of the work of the deaconesses has been discontinued. Deaconesses in Europe and their Lessons for America Among the Waldenses, the Poor Men of Lyons, who were already prominent in the last half of the044/40 twelfth century, we find there were deaconesses. Deaconesses in Europe and their Lessons for America With deep Christian faith they endeavored to form a Church after the apostolic model, and in 1457 appointed Church deaconesses. Deaconesses in Europe and their Lessons for America Certainly Luther would have seen no harm in allowing deaconesses the protection of a special garb. Deaconesses in Europe and their Lessons for America Already in 1566 we read that in the great reformed Church not only deacons but deaconesses were elected. Deaconesses in Europe and their Lessons for America Such homes of rest and convalescence are a necessity in connection with every well-equipped deaconess institution. Deaconesses in Europe and their Lessons for America There are two evangelical societies, small in numbers, but one at least powerful in influence, which have retained deaconesses from their origin to the present time. Deaconesses in Europe and their Lessons for America It was while in Holland that he wrote to Kl�nne concerning the deaconesses, whose duties he had observed among the Mennonites. Deaconesses in Europe and their Lessons for America Fliedner had now reached the work that was henceforth to be his life mission; that is, the restoration of deaconesses to the Christian Church of the nineteenth century. Deaconesses in Europe and their Lessons for America Services067/63 of praise and thanksgiving consecrated this deaconess home yet without deaconesses, this hospital without patients. Deaconesses in Europe and their Lessons for America The pharmacy is in the charge of a deaconess trained especially for her duties. Deaconesses in Europe and their Lessons for America She had the oversight of the house, gave the deaconesses practical direction in housekeeping, and in their early visits to the sick and poor accompanied them from house to house. Deaconesses in Europe and their Lessons for America “She was the first of the deaconesses to die,” writes Fliedner. Deaconesses in Europe and their Lessons for America Many deaconesses have been trained to the same knowledge, which has been an especially valuable acquisition in the hospitals situated in Eastern countries. Deaconesses in Europe and their Lessons for America From that time to the present the hospital has continued under the management of the Kaiserswerth deaconesses. Deaconesses in Europe and their Lessons for America So many denominational hospitals are now arising in America that the arrangement of hospitals under the care of deaconesses in Germany, France, and England, cannot fail to have interest for us. Deaconesses in Europe and their Lessons for America About the same time deaconesses began to work in connection with special churches which called for their services, having the duties which in England are assigned to those called “parish deaconesses.” Deaconesses in Europe and their Lessons for America King Frederick William IV., from the beginning Fliedner’s faithful friend and supporter, had long desired a deaconess home in Berlin. Deaconesses in Europe and their Lessons for America The deaconesses at once entered upon hospital work, and their care of the sick met with warm appreciation, but their numbers did not increase. Deaconesses in Europe and their Lessons for America Gifts flowed in rapidly, and March 17, 1851, Fliedner, accompanied by four deaconesses, two of them being teachers, set out on this new and peaceful crusade to the holy city. Deaconesses in Europe and their Lessons for America The deaconesses were summoned to one of the parlors, and held prisoners until three o’clock the following morning. Deaconesses in Europe and their Lessons for America There is also a girls’ orphanage, called “Talitha Cumi,” just outside the city walls at Jerusalem, where one hundred and fourteen native girls were last year taught by the Kaiserswerth deaconesses. Deaconesses in Europe and their Lessons for America They are contained in a book numbering one hundred and seven pages,1 treating with great minuteness every question that affects the daily lives of the deaconesses. Deaconesses in Europe and their Lessons for America A great deal of care is taken to test the efficiency of the candidates, and only about one half the probationers finally become deaconesses in full connection. Deaconesses in Europe and their Lessons for America For her personal expenses the Kaiserswerth deaconess in Germany receives yearly twenty-two dollars and fifty cents; sometimes when in foreign lands she is paid a slightly larger sum. Deaconesses in Europe and their Lessons for America This is not the only experience of the troubled political life of the great city that the deaconesses have had. Deaconesses in Europe and their Lessons for America But the unvarying testimony is that no nurses accomplish more than the German deaconesses. Deaconesses in Europe and their Lessons for America Each deaconess is expected to obey those who are placed over her, and to accept the kind of work assigned her, except in the case of contagious diseases, when her permission is asked. Deaconesses in Europe and their Lessons for America Address to the deaconesses, recalling the ever-repeated thought, “You are servants in a threefold sense: servants of the Lord Jesus; servants of the needy for Jesus’ sake; servants one of another.” Deaconesses in Europe and their Lessons for America The first of the Conferences was held in 1861, just twenty-five years after the founding of the first deaconess house at Kaiserswerth. Deaconesses in Europe and their Lessons for America In fact, all classes are represented among the deaconesses; servants, teachers, ladies, and shepherdesses. Deaconesses in Europe and their Lessons for America Surely the deaconess cause is striking deep root in the religious life of Protestant Europe. Deaconesses in Europe and their Lessons for America During Fliedner’s life-time occasions arose which called the deaconesses outside their accustomed fields of work, and proved their value in the exceptional emergencies that so often arise. Deaconesses in Europe and their Lessons for America The importance of trained deaconesses in times of war is now well understood by the military authorities at Berlin. Deaconesses in Europe and their Lessons for America Especial attention was at first given to preparing Christian teachers, and the schools in connection with the deaconess house were filled with pupils. Deaconesses in Europe and their Lessons for America So the want of deaconesses is a continual hinderance to the furtherance of the cause, both in the city and the provinces. Deaconesses in Europe and their Lessons for America The099/95 success in this particular aroused apprehension lest the deaconesses should be diverted from their legitimate duties in caring for outside interests, so for a time the schools were discontinued. Deaconesses in Europe and their Lessons for America No other house has so systematized their labors or developed their possibilities as has the deaconess house at M�lhausen. Deaconesses in Europe and their Lessons for America The parish deaconess has occasion to use every gift which she can possibly acquire in the varied training of the deaconess school. Deaconesses in Europe and their Lessons for America For many reasons M�lhausen was well adapted for a field of labor for parish deaconesses. Deaconesses in Europe and their Lessons for America The great majority of the prisoners in France being Catholics, the number of Sisters of Charity is naturally much larger than the number of deaconesses employed. Deaconesses in Europe and their Lessons for America It was an easy matter, therefore, to raise a subscription of two hundred thousand francs to provide a home for the deaconesses who were invited here from Strasburg in 1861. Deaconesses in Europe and their Lessons for America There are now fourteen sisters in the deaconess house. Deaconesses in Europe and their Lessons for America At two o’clock the deaconess ends her duties at the district house, and spends the remainder of the day in making visits in her quarter. Deaconesses in Europe and their Lessons for America The ladies on the committee often give personal assistance to the deaconess, and sometimes assume responsibility for individual cases, or for an entire street. Deaconesses in Europe and their Lessons for America After the deaconess home was established, some deaconesses were set apart to aid Mademoiselle Dumas in her work. Deaconesses in Europe and their Lessons for America In Berlin are a good many deaconess institutions. Deaconesses in Europe and their Lessons for America There are also the Lazarus Hospital and Deaconess Home, the Paul Gerhardt Deaconess Home, provided for parish deaconesses, and the Elizabeth Hospital and Home, which started independently but is now allied to Kaiserswerth. Deaconesses in Europe and their Lessons for America The deaconess house in Neudettelsau stands in closest union with the Lutheran Church. Deaconesses in Europe and their Lessons for America Certain liturgical forms are used, and in the main deaconesses are employed in preparing ecclesiastical vestments and embroideries for church adornment. Deaconesses in Europe and their Lessons for America A later deaconess home, entirely devoted to training and employing parish deaconesses, was started in 1874, under the sole control of the Lutheran Church. Deaconesses in Europe and their Lessons for America On her return to Berne she gained the support of a society of women, and through their aid secured a hospital and deaconess home. Deaconesses in Europe and their Lessons for America It is now fourth in number among the largest mother-houses, has two hundred and ninety-seven deaconesses, five affiliated houses, and forty-five different fields of work. Deaconesses in Europe and their Lessons for America There is also a large institution at Riehen near Basel, which sends out two hundred deaconesses. Deaconesses in Europe and their Lessons for America Spain, Italy, Greece, Turkey, the countries of Northern Africa, and of Asia Minor, as well as isolated mission stations throughout the entire world are now served by deaconesses. Deaconesses in Europe and their Lessons for America There are now sixteen deaconesses, six of whom are probationers. Deaconesses in Europe and their Lessons for America “Send us deaconesses for our hospital,” he says. Deaconesses in Europe and their Lessons for America As far back as 1868 in Wurtemberg, and later in Frankfort, some preachers introduced parish deaconesses for the care of the sick; but well-directed efforts, and unity in management, were lacking. Deaconesses in Europe and their Lessons for America At that time there were thirteen deaconesses and twenty probationers. Deaconesses in Europe and their Lessons for America Nearly all the Methodist German deaconesses are engaged in caring for the sick; it is only recently that attempts have been made in some other directions of charitable endeavor. Deaconesses in Europe and their Lessons for America In both of the deaconess houses of Paris, as in the German houses, a special service sets apart those sisters who have passed their period of probation, and have been received into full connection. Deaconesses in Europe and their Lessons for America In one month ninety requests were handed in for the aid of the deaconesses. Deaconesses in Europe and their Lessons for America As in all places where our deaconesses are employed, so also in Hamburg their influence is felt in the increase of religious life among the families they serve. Deaconesses in Europe and their Lessons for America After six years of activity in Berlin the deaconesses find themselves well appreciated, and with a broad field of labor. Deaconesses in Europe and their Lessons for America In Z�rich seven deaconesses are at work under the protection, and with the sympathetic co-operation, of the pastor and the church. Deaconesses in Europe and their Lessons for America The good that can be accomplished by deaconesses working together with ministers in behalf of145/141 the manifold interests of the Church is incalculable. Deaconesses in Europe and their Lessons for America I saw something of the deaconesses and their duties in this place. Deaconesses in Europe and their Lessons for America Eilers, came with the first deaconesses and introduced them to their new field when I was a resident of the city. Deaconesses in Europe and their Lessons for America On Sunday morning he occupied the pulpit, preaching from Rom. xvi, 1, commending the deaconesses to the120/116 kindness and helpful aid of the members of the church. Deaconesses in Europe and their Lessons for America Two years of probation are required, part of which is devoted to practical work under the superintendence of an older deaconess. Deaconesses in Europe and their Lessons for America The same confusion of thought concerning the Church widow and the deaconess is here seen, but there is evident the recognition of the services that women were officially to render the Church. Deaconesses in Europe and their Lessons for America A deaconess director, several nurse deaconesses and probationers, with one or two aged women, constitute the working force of the131/127 hospital outside of the physicians. Deaconesses in Europe and their Lessons for America All this time the prison wagon had been waiting in the street, and would have been filled with deaconesses had the slightest cause of complaint been found; but it went away empty. Deaconesses in Europe and their Lessons for America Meanwhile the deaconesses went about unmolested, bought food and medicine, hunted friends and relatives for the sick, and through all that period of excitement and strife kept up their ministrations of mercy. Deaconesses in Europe and their Lessons for America The preparatory school for deaconesses is on the first floor, below the rooms of the sisters. Deaconesses in Europe and their Lessons for America Kaiserswerth and its deaconesses became more widely known through the life and inestimable services of Florence Nightingale. Deaconesses in Europe and their Lessons for America At the prison of Clermont four of the Paris deaconesses are kept constantly at work among the prisoners. Deaconesses in Europe and their Lessons for America In connection with the old prison of St. Lazare, the women’s prison of Paris, the deaconesses have a mission especially concerned with caring for discharged female convicts. Deaconesses in Europe and their Lessons for America Now that Mademoiselle Dumas is kept to her room, the deaconesses still come to her weekly,142/138 make their reports, and keep up the proper entries in her books. Deaconesses in Europe and their Lessons for America The deaconess home has also branches of work in different parts of France. Deaconesses in Europe and their Lessons for America Within the Church of England, however, the deaconess cause has not met the same prosperous development that it has obtained in connection with certain independent institutions, notably that of Mildmay. Deaconesses in Europe and their Lessons for America The ordinary expenses of the Paris deaconess home are about thirty thousand dollars a year. Deaconesses in Europe and their Lessons for America Many sorrows which he overlooks the deaconess can discern and assuage. Deaconesses in Europe and their Lessons for America To learn the first facts about deaconesses in England, we must go back to the early days of the Puritans. Deaconesses in Europe and their Lessons for America These deaconesses won golden opinions from the hospital authorities for their quiet, efficient manner, and their trained skill. Deaconesses in Europe and their Lessons for America Among the institutions on the Continent, as well as in the pages of this work up to the present, the terms “sister” and “deaconess” are used synonymously, to indicate one and the same person. Deaconesses in Europe and their Lessons for America The great upholder of the deaconess cause in the Church of England was the late Dean of Chester, Rev. J. S. Howson. Deaconesses in Europe and their Lessons for America But when we come to consider the deaconess institutions within the Church of England we cannot continue to use these two names in the same way. Deaconesses in Europe and their Lessons for America Doubtless it was the activity and great usefulness of the continental deaconess houses that provided the stimulating examples which acted on the Church of England and led to the rise of sisterhoods and deaconess institutions. Deaconesses in Europe and their Lessons for America The sisterhoods are distinctly under the fostering care of the former element, the deaconesses are manifestly favored by the latter. Deaconesses in Europe and their Lessons for America The associates are ladies who do not intend to157/153 become deaconesses, but give as much time as they can to the work. Deaconesses in Europe and their Lessons for America Besides the London house already mentioned an East London deaconess home was opened in 1880, to provide deaconesses and church-workers for East London. Deaconesses in Europe and their Lessons for America Besides the deaconesses and probationers thirty-two associates are connected with this home. Deaconesses in Europe and their Lessons for America They live with the deaconesses, conform to the rules, and wear the garb, but pay their own expenses. Deaconesses in Europe and their Lessons for America The social status of the English deaconesses is, as a rule, markedly different from the German deaconesses. Deaconesses in Europe and their Lessons for America Nearly always they are ladies of independent means, and come for longer or shorter periods to relieve the deaconesses, their zeal often being as great as that of the sisters whose places they take. Deaconesses in Europe and their Lessons for America On the other hand, the German deaconesses, as we have seen, are largely of that station in life that furnishes many for domestic service. Deaconesses in Europe and their Lessons for America There is more of ceremony and formality in the English deaconess institutions which are under the direction of the Church of England. Deaconesses in Europe and their Lessons for America The year of probation having come to an end, she is again presented to the bishop, and is set apart as a deaconess by the laying on of hands. Deaconesses in Europe and their Lessons for America So far, sisterhoods have proved more attractive to the women of the Church of England than have deaconess establishments. Deaconesses in Europe and their Lessons for America They attend upon the deaconesses and the ladies who board there to receive training in the hospital. Deaconesses in Europe and their Lessons for America Vexing questions have arisen as to how the deaconess should be set apart to her work. Deaconesses in Europe and their Lessons for America They define a deaconess as “a woman set apart by a bishop, under that title, for service in the Church;”12 placing her under the authority162/158 of the bishop of the diocese. Deaconesses in Europe and their Lessons for America Then when men were swept into eternity by hundreds, and hundreds more were in dire distress, the deaconesses were invited by the minister of another parish to come to his assistance. Deaconesses in Europe and their Lessons for America Sometimes I can scarcely believe that it is a reality, and not all a dream—the Conference Hall, with its appendages, and the deaconess house176/172 actually in existence. Deaconesses in Europe and their Lessons for America Each deaconess pays for board and lodging while training, and, if able to do so, when she returns for rest, or a visit to her old home. Deaconesses in Europe and their Lessons for America A deaconess superintends the willing hands that tie the bunches, each of which is adorned with a brightly colored Scripture178/174 text. Deaconesses in Europe and their Lessons for America Near at hand is the Dorcas room, where deaconesses are kept busy in cutting out clothing and superintending the sewing classes. Deaconesses in Europe and their Lessons for America There are forty-nine classes, all taught by ladies, the majority of them being deaconesses. Deaconesses in Europe and their Lessons for America They can go to198/194 the deaconess house, put on the garb of the deaconess while there, and as long as they remain can assume the responsibilities and enjoy the privileges belonging to deaconesses.
