Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Woman's Home Missionary Society of the Methodist Episcopal Church: Fifty-Fourth Annual Report for the Year 1934-1935 From the graduating class of the National Training School this year, thirteen have asked for admission as deaconesses. Five have been appointed to national work and three to conference institutions. A secretary serving under the Board of Education remarked recently that if the program of the Methodist Episcopal Church in religious education is to be put over in our churches, it will depend to a large extent upon our deaconesses. For this reason we hope our workers may keep informed of modern methods and the program of the church in religious education. Your secretary has attended meetings of the Board of Hospitals, Homes and Deaconess work; has served on committees to plan for a conference for deaconesses, and for special consideration of deaconesses applying for pension and honorable discharge. We have participated in these confer emees in Chicago, New York City, and also attended sessions of the Inter national Council of Religious Education. We have visited the National Training School, deaconess homes, and other institutions. The Deaconess Emergency and Relief Fund has provided aid for twenty-three deaconesses, the amount expended being Assess ments have been collected for the fund amounting to Of this has been paid to the Board of Hospitals, Homes and Deaconess Work as assessments to the Pension Fund from the employing agency. Five have been added to the pension list this year, and two retired without pension. Seven of the deaconesses have requested retirement and pension as soon as funds are available. Ten deaconesses have been married, three have died, five have had honorable discharge, and one withdrew. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
