Voluntary Work Organized. ‘Beginning with the year 1845, we have he voluntary work of women in the church organized, under the clergy, into sisterhoods, first parochial, next diocesan, and, finally, general, with affiliated branches of English orders, established in many homes of their own, both in cities and in er canoni been kept mo: country pla ‘They are too well known to need enumeration—the Holy Communion, M . the Good Shepherd, St. Margar- et's, All Saints’, St. John Baptist’s, St. john the Evangelist, the Holy Child Jesus, the" Haly Nativity, St. Monica's, the An- nunciation, the Epiphany, the Resurrec- tion, the Transfiguration and others, not than twenty-five in all, scattered yugh the twenty-one dioceses of Albany, Delaware, Florida, Long Island, Louis- Maryland, Massachusetts, Milwau- Missourt, Newark, New Jersey, New jvania, southern Ohio, Spring- ee and Washington. erhoods have developed alto- gether new lines of woman's work in and for the church. They have the charge of admirable church schools and of Institu- tions of all kinds—hospitals, orphanages, penitentiaries, homes for the aged and Ehelters for babies, and they do mission ‘rk of the very best quality in several yishes ond with especially marked suc- tess among the colored people in Balti- mor The record of the Sisters of § Mary in Memphis, during the yellow fever of sv. as told by the Rev. Dr. Dix, is Sufficient of {itself to win for such workers the ng love and gratitude of a church honored and blessed by such devotion. “In close connection with sisterhood work we have the practical revival of the order of deaconesses, long before the actual ca- nonical legislation on the subject was reached by general convention in 1889." ‘The report gives a history of this move- ment, discussing in detail the question of community life. None Exempt. After giving an account of the training school for church workers projected in the diocese of Massachusetts, the report con- tinues: “And so we come round again to the original proposition of all these triennial reports, that every church woman Is ¢x- pected to be a church worker, the only difference between now and earlier days being that, today, she is expected to be a more thoroughly’ trained church worker, fana, ke York, Penns field, Tenne: “These sis “To this end many an earnest effort, in any a different direction, has been tend- ing, not the least through the quiet days and conferences of church women, | of which successive reperts have made full and frequent mention.” Then follows an exhaustive account of the London conference and quiet day, fol- lowed by an appeal to the women of the church to make the twentieth century as memorable as the present one. More Graduates Wanted. The report concludes as follows: “More graduates are wanted from the deaconess schools, to follow Miss Deane to Alaska, Miss Mosher to China and Miss Babcock to Japan, to join Miss Good and Miss Radcliffe in Africa, and to work in our home missionary field everywhere. More sisters are wanted from the various sister- hoods to take permanent charge of church institutions, north and south, east and west, and across the seas. More church workers are wanted from the strong, well- organized parishes, to take to many a new land, and to every part of our own land, the lessons Jearned and practiced there, and to teach them far and wide. Move fa- thers angl mothers, more friends and teach- ers and pastors are wanted, to speed them on their way. And !f the number is small of those who seem willing now to go, wo may not lose hope or faith in the great multitude of women that will sooner or later be chosen to publish the good tidings. “The work we try to do may not be ours to finish; perhaps we have no right to call it ours at all, but what of that? Another generation stands on the threshold of the coming century, ready, we may well be- Meve, to make {t, even more than this, a century of service; and God, whose work it surely is, will place it securely in those other hands that He Himself, in His own time and way, is naking ready to take it up when He bids lay it down, and it shall all be perfectly and completely done —some day! Address by Madame Watanabe. Bishop McKim of. Tokyo, Japan, read Mme. Watanabe’s address. The little Jap- anese woman, clad in lilac silk native robe, her eyes shyly cast down, her hands folded in front of her, sat like a statue during the reading, and at its conclusion arose and smilingly bowed. She apparently is consid- ered by Japanese as a belle of the ortent, her face being more than typically comely. ‘The address, in part, follows: It was about two years ago when I was dining with our bishop at his home in Tokyo that he asked me if I would not like to go to America in 1898 to attend the general convention of the Woman's Auxil- fary as a representative of the Ladies’ In- stitute in Tokyo. My answer to him was that I could use the money to better advan- tage than by representing the cause in America. The question was not put seri- ously, it was entirely forgotten in time, but when I was ordered to undertake this journey Mrs. McKim, the president of the ‘Woman's Auxiliary in Japan, wished me to attend this convention. Our visit is owing to the great interest that our empress feels in your country. It was at the request of Mrs. Alice Baird, the last vice president of the Woman’s Clubs, to our minister of education on her visit to Japan. I am quite embarrassed that I am favor- ed with this mission, and regret exceeding- ly not to be able to convey to you the great interest of our empress in your country, because it is the first time that Japanese women have been sent for such a purpose. My dear American sisters, please accept my hearty thanks, not only for the Ladies’ efforts for our far eastern land. Before I came to this country I had a very high ad- miration for your earnest work for the sake of humanity. Since coming here my ad- miration has increased more and more. This being my first visit to America, and my stay being only a few months, I have not had time enough to study well your country. However, in this short time I am already impressed with several things; for instance, in seeing the colored porters on the cars so well trained. I thought that they were emblematic of your freedom and generosity. Had they remain- ed in their fatherland they would be but savages; brought here so mysteriously, they are glorifying God, the maker of all human beings, -arough your Christian love. Industry of the People. Another impression is the marvelous in- dustry of the peopl, so active, so busy, as not to lose even a minute. It it true. Those who help themselves, heaven helps; this in- dustry, this energy of the people, will readi- ly be the sourge of the wealth of the na- tion and th> maintenance of this vast land in such an honorable way that your people say so proudly, I am in America. This tender sympathy for others, this vigorous, self-struggle, is the Hfe of your independ- ence, in which that great man's spirit, Weshington, is always living; I can see it very clearly, and hav; admired often in visiting the public institutions as well as private families, by seeing the picture of your Father Washington decorating the walls. While you have so much to do in your country, hew kird end generous you ara to do so much good for foreign lands, al- though you will say s0-nobly that you are working in God's field, but in my place; can I not admiré' your indefatigable ef- forts? Can I*not“be grateful for such a generosity? Haw happy shall we be when we Japanese become able to work in Chris- tian endless love, as you are doing now. What we want now in Japan is Chris- tianity. I am often told since I came to this country that there {s not much hope for the Japanese to receive the gospel and for the empiré to become Christianized. Of course, it is ¥ery ‘ifficult to make people Christians, ag,,we Cannot always meet real Christians in what’they call a Christian na- tion. - The student¢ sent from Japan to Europe approve most!y the theory of evolution, so there are evidently more materialists among the professcrs of our university than Christians. The péople say they are learn- ed, they are ¢ducgted in Christian coun- tries, and they do pot believe any more in the Christian doctrines, therefore how can we adopt this new religion? It is a fact that the followers of Buddhism, Confucian- ism and Skintoism who were afraid of ever-growing Christianity, take advantage of those opinions of the professors, and, exaggerating them, cause tumult, and make the mission work very hard. ‘This was the case before the war with China some four years ago; still we see this phenomena in Various conditions. Mrs. Ada Leigh Lewis, the wife of the archbishop of Ontario and metropolitan of Canada, made a brief, but earnest address upon “Personal Consecration.” Education of Japanese Women. ‘Then came a most enjoyable feature, the address by Miss Tsuda on ‘Education of Women in Japan.” She is a teacher in the Peeress’ School of Tokyo. She read her paper and her use of English was flawless. ‘There was no trace of foreign accent, her tones were thcse of a cultured woman, and agine they were listening to the words of an American woman in the highest walks of refined life. An effort to apply the time limit to her brought cries from’ the audi- ence, “Let her proceed,” “Oh, we must hear all of it,” and a thunderous applause was kept up until she was permitted to continue. She said it was a privilege seldom given to a woman of her nationality to meet and mingle with such a body, inspired with one purpose, one faith and one idea. She hoped that the bonds of sympathy between the Japanese and the Americon women would be strengthened, and that the time would soon come when the one would seem more real and near to the other, when there was more than the printed page and the speech of travelers to make them acquainted. Freedom Enjoyed. The Japanese women, she said, always enjoyed a freedom and respect immeasur- ably above that which was accorded their Asiatic sisters. Artists and scholars were found among them, and the greatest classic works of the land are from the hands of its women. At times circumstances have lessened their power and influence, but never to the extent which has been felt by other Asiatic women. Even in the old days, she said, when woman's sphere was confined to the do- mestic circle, Japanese women received in- structions in literature and the arts as well as in sewing and other domestic attributes. Now that Japan has emerged from the darkness of the old feudal days, the sphere of woman has enlarged and broadened ac- cordingly, and they are to be found in the most progressive walks of life. She gave an interesting account of the school movement in Japan and the great interest taken by the present empress, who has founded a school and takes the greatest delight in personal supervision of it. It was to the honor of the missionaries, however, Miss Tsuda said, that the first school for girls in Japan was founded by them. The most important work the teachers accom- plish, she said, is to bring to Japan a broad love and a practical religion that is inspir- ing and stimulative of best effort. Missionary Volunteers. John W. Wood, secretary of the Brother- hood of St. Andrew, was the next speaker, and his topic was, “The Laity, a Body of Missionary Volunteers.” Rev. Chas. H. Wood briefly spoke on “The Priest and His People at Work for Missions.” Short address:s on the general topic, “Women in the Mission Field,” were made as follows: “The Missionary Wife,” by Bishop White of Indiana; “The Missionary Father,” by the missionary bishop of Spo- kane; “The Medical Missionary,” by Bishop Nelson of Georgia, and ‘The, Missionary Evangelist,” Bishop Graves of Shanghai. A resolution of thanks to the ladies of the Washington branch for their courtesies and hospitality was unanimously adopted, and the bishop of Georgia closed the mest- ing with benediction. ‘Tomorrow from 4 to 6 p.m. Bishop Satter- lee and Mrs. Satterlee will receive the Wo- man's Auxiliary at the bishop’s house, EPISCOPAL CONVOCATION. The Evening Star Accounts Will Pre- sent a Complete History. The Evening Star has made arrange- ments to completely cover the proceedings of the Episcopal convocation which began its sessions in this city Wednesday, and as has always been the case with large gath- visitors to retain a full and complete his- tory of the important church meeting is to secure copies of The Star covering the period during which the convocation is in session. These papers will be mailed di- rectly frcm the office to home addresses for subscribers, and in this way delegates can keep fricnds and family at home informed day by day of what is going on in the big meeting. The questions coming up before the convention are of tremendous impor- tance to the Episcopal Church, and mem- bers of the church everywhere are watch- ing the proceedings with interest. The Star accounts will keep them as well informed as {f they were here taking part. The Star will be mailed to any address for the three weeks covering the convention from Octo- ber 4, fur thirty-five cents, postage prepaid. —_.__ LAST DAY OF SESSION. Christian Missionary Society to Ad- journ This Evening. The last day’s session of the Christian Missionary Society of Virginia, Maryland and the District of Columbia was opened this morning in the Ninth Street Christian Church, with devotional exercises conduct- ed by Rev. W. H. Schell of this city. Re- ports were received from the various Sun- day schools and a summary showed that the attendance at the twenty-five schools reported was 2,604. There had been raised for all purposes the sum of $2,915. The banner awarded to the school hav- ing the largest average attendance, con tributions and conversions was found to belong to the Jerusalem school in Harford county, and at the session this afternoon the prize was awarded. An address was delivered by Miss Lou Weightman of this city on Sunday school libraries, and by Miss Amanda Barr of Hagerstown, Mi., on the primary department. A discussion fol- lowed on Sunday school work, which wus conducted by Rev. S. R. Maxwell of Rozk- ville, Md.

At the session this afternoon various matters of unfinished busiress was considered.
