HE ending of another year brings together the
several reports of our parochial undertakings.
Obviously they are of different degrees of interest to dif¬
ferent people, but I like to believe that they will have in¬
terest of some sort to all who claim Trinity as their spir¬
itual home. For these reports try to tell us what has been
done with the money we have gladly contributed ; what
are the results, whether in failure or in success, of the
considerable energy we have put forth in our attempts to
keep the city as good as it is, to make it a little better;
what are the agencies that need recruits; and what are
some, at least, of the plans and hopes of the future.
Those of us who are especially interested in some one
special enterprise should be on our guard lest we overlook
those branches of parochial work'which, even if not at¬
tractive to us, are still part and parcel of the total par¬
ish life. Indeed this book has for a subsidiary purpose the
exhibition of the Parish as a whole. A study of it will
serve to abate somewhat our wonder why a single and
excellent agency does not meet with a wider support.
We have many treasuries, many staffs of workers. Per¬
haps we can wonder, after reading this book, how each
receives enough, in money and service, to keep alive and
growing. For one, as I read the modest tales of toil and
stewardship, I confess that I am filled with gratitude and
viii

admiration, remembering the courage, the patience, and
the self-denial many of you have shown, and without
which these tales would be fiction instead of noble and
beautiful histories of deeds done. I bespeak, therefore, for
our book a careful, intelligent and sympathetic reading.
The Repair Fund of Trinity Church.
Willingly shall I endure the good-natured charge of
''riding a hobby," as I once more revert to this Fund,
if only I succeed in keeping it in our thoughts. Nor am I
daunted by having to announce that no additions have
been made to it during the current year. But I know that
in one Will a lover of Trinity's tower has remembered
this Fund, and I please myself with the hope that other
lovers have likewise cared for it in the same way. At any
rate I am confident that the idea of such a Fund gains
friends each year, and in that confidence one may rest
content.
The Parochial Societies.
One of the most striking characteristics of a working Par¬
ish is its ability to make good the annual losses from the
ranks of its volunteer workers. These losses are inevita¬
bly heavy. Death, removals, impaired health, new domes¬
tic ties and duties, and the expiration of the term of ac¬
tive service—for there is such a term, and the retired list
is. honorable— inevitably thin the lines. One is sometimes
beguiled into the fear that recruits are not to be had.
But the long inactivity of summer passes, the societies
announce the resumption of their work and lo! new faces
appear, bringing fresh interest and enthusiasm to the
prosecution of the old work. It is all wonderful and beau-
Introductory
ix
tiful—this capacity of a parish perpetually to produce
the forces which keep its activities healthy and enterpris¬
ing. No year of the last six has more amply illustrated
this fact than the year just ended. Our two oldest, and still
the best—so wisely were they originally planned—Socie¬
ties found their membership sadly depleted when their
first meeting was held in November. Perhaps some of
those longest in service had a momentary misgiving for
the future. But only momentary: for at this writing the
ranks are full, with increased vigor and splendid hopeful¬
ness. The promise of the future is as bright as the record
of the past is honorable. And what is true of these two
venerable associations is true of all our parochial societies,
and a more devoted, loyal and enthusiastic staff of work¬
ers than we have now it would be hard to imagine. It is
they who make the Parish what it is. Let me thank them
in the name of all Trinity for their unselfish, fruitful
work. And if those of us who are not personally engaged
in our parochial works sometimes cherish the fear that
our methods are just a little antiquated, that we ai'e slow
to welcome and adopt many of the new schemes and the¬
ories and plans in which the city teems, the reply is that
we can afford to run no risks in view of our not too abun¬
dant resources, and, most of all and best of all, that
our present methods are sane, natural and effective.
When something demonstrably better is at hand we shall
gladly adopt it.
A New Lectern Bible.

years the Lessons have been read grew so worn and
patched that a new one became a necessity, and last Eas-

SUPERINTENDENT'S REPORT
HIS report must begin with mention of the loss
the school has sustained this year in the death of
one of. our most efficient teachers—Miss Jane R. Shel¬
don ; it is not an ordinary loss for Miss Sheldon was not
an ordinary teacher. She had the rare faculty of impart¬
ing knowledge and at the same time of winning the aflFec-
tion of her scholars; she instructed them^ she inspired
them; she made the Christian life beautiful to them so
The Sunday-School
9
that year after year, scholars from her class came forward
for Confirmation to begin the life which she herself so
Aiiely illustrated. The Anal summons came in the middle
of summer, soon after her arrival in England whither she
had gone with high hopes of restored health; her body
lies at rest in the little cemetery in the suburbs of Lon¬
don but her memory is enshrined in the hearts of all
those who knew her and especially in the hearts of the
many who have been her scholars.
With the beginning of the school in October, we made a
change in the matter of lessons. For almost three years
Dr. Donald has, month by month, notwithstanding the
many demands upon his time, written, edited and pub¬
lished the lessons for the school. Now we are using the
series of lessons known as the Blakeslee System. And the
reason for the change is not that the Rector grudges
either the time or the trouble of preparing the lessons as
heretofore, but because within these three years there
has been a decided improvement in the treatment of Sun¬
day School lessons and we now And ready at hand a sys¬
tem that contains many of the features that we have been
trying to emphasize, that is to say, less Bible history,
less Biblical geography but more insistence upon those
ethical and spiritual truths that lie at the very foundation
of character.
It has taken the school a longer time than usual this fall
to settle down in running order and the reason for this
is twofold, i. e., teachers have seemed to remain away
from town later than usual this year and even now, as I
write, in the middle of November, several have not yet
returned—and in the second place we have lost no fewer
10
Trinity Church Year Booh
than six teachers this fall, owing to their forming new
ties and assuming new domestic responsibilities.
The attendance for the past year more than held its own
and it is very gratifying to report that there was a de¬
cided increase in the number of boys and young lads.
The following students have won an ''Honorable Men¬
tion" for punctuality and regularity of attendance.

to year^ we ask again the interest and cooperation of all
the members of the Parish, that its work, which consists
almost entirely in providing for the Easter Sale," may
continue to enjoy the large measure of success which it
has had in the past.
The proceeds of the Sale are annually given to " The
Phillips Brooks Fund" of the Boston Home for Incur¬
ables ; during the past five years we have been able to add
$8,500 to the fund.
May we not hope to enlist the assistance and patronage
of many, particularly the younger and more recent mem¬
bers of the Parish, in our efforts to aid this beautiful
charity ?
Any person a member of Trinity Church, or regularly
worshipping there, may become a member of this Society
by the payment of one dollar annually. Subscriptions may
be sent to the Treasurer, Miss Henshaw, 77 Newbury

SECRETARY'S REPORT
HE Charitable Society is the oldest of the various
societies of Trinity Churchy and dates back fifty
years or more in the life of the Parish. It has been rightly
called the " Parent Society," and for a time, before other
societies were formed, combined an industrial element
with its work of relief and care of the sick and poor. The
very name suggests the beneficent character of its work
among those to whom it ministers, it being the only so-
The Charitable Society
19
ciety that takes no equivalent for aid given, simply dis¬
pensing the necessary charity to the old and infirm who
are past doing the day's work, and also caring for young
children of the extreme poor as the necessity requires.
In the Charitable Society the wants and needs of its bene¬
ficiaries are directly met; the almoner comes in close
contact with the misery that is always there, always near,
and as the work is confined to the'care of the poor people
of the Church, they are the only ones to whom the aid of
the Society is devoted, and they naturally feel that they
have a claim to its beneficent care, a prerogative no other
society can offer, the very objects for which they exist
forbidding it. .
Each case is thoroughly investigated, a careful record
kept of all aid dispensed, and at the close of the winter's
work all money remaining in the treasury is placed in the
hands of the visitor for the supply of the needs of our
own people during the summer, that time so hard, so
wretched for those who are left to meet the misery of a
desolated city alone. A large amount is expended each
winter for coal, and there is a constant demand for shoes,
and articles of clothing are asked for, but the cases are
often so full of wretchedness that only money given out¬
right can relieve them. We cannot tell the friends of the
Charitable Society what their gifts and kind interest have
accomplished; it would be impossible, so great is the
good done, reaching back more than half a century as it
does; but as each year brings its own record of consola-,
tion and comfort to the many ones who are of the same
Household, and who meet as children of one Father, their
reward will be the blessing of the poor, called " so rich,"
20
Trinity Church Year Booh
and the greater blessing of Him who has promised a spe¬
cial reward to those who minister to His suffering chil¬
dren on earth.
During the last year the Society has given away as fol¬
lows :
For wood and coal, $116.15.
In money, $130.58.

SECRETARY'S REPORT
HE Industrial Society of Trinity Church was
organized in 1866, "to provide work for poor
women ; the said work to be sold at the cost of the mate¬
rial" according to the wording of the original constitu¬
tion. The women are paid from money subscribed by the
ladies of the Parish. Subscriptions of one dollar upwards
are devoted to this purpose and a lady subscribing five
dollars is entitled to send a woman for ten weeks, who
will receive work at the rate of fifty cents' worth each
week. Subscription of ten dollars or twenty furnishes
work for a longer period or at an increased rate per week.
When a subscription is not appropriated by the donor it
is given to some deserving woman recommended by one
of the manager's or by the parish visitor.
It will thus be seen that the Society is wholly dependent
upon subscriptions for the ability to give work to deserv¬
ing women, many of whom are dependent in a large de¬
gree upon this small pittance. By the death in recent
years of many of our most liberal subscribers, we have
lost largely in our income, the managers appeal there¬
fore most earnestly to the members of Trinity Parish
for financial aid.
During the year 1897-8, employment was given to fifty-
one women. There were 1588 garments made, of which
874 were sold and the balance given away or retained,
in order to have a stock on hand with which to begin
sales this winter.
We cannot close this report, without expressing our sin¬
cere regret at the resignation of our Vice-president, Mrs.

SECRETARY'S REPORT
HE Employment Society of Trinity Church pre¬
sents the record of its last year's work as follows;
During the year, 1793 articles of clothing were cut and
made, of which 753 were sold and the remainder given to
the following charities:
Trinity House, lOO.
Vincent Hospital, .50.
The Employment Society 27
Maternity Hospital, 50.
Episcopal City Mission, 100.
CJhanning Home, 30.
Eye and Ear Infirmary, 40.
Dedham Home, 60.
Gwynne Home, 60.
Church Home, 120.
New England Hospital, 40.
Free Hospital for Women, 60.
St. Luke's Home, 60.
District Nui-sing Association, 30.
House of Good Samaritan, 20.
Indian Mission, 140.
For Indians, through Mrs. Fisk, 110.
The Employment Society meets every Monday morning
at eleven o'clock, in the Society Rooms of the Chapel, for
the purpose of cutting out clothing to be made up by
poor women, after which the clothes are either sold at
moderate prices, or g^ven to various charitable institu¬
tions. It is one among several sewing societies of the
church, as in so large a congregation the usefulness can
be more extended by holding meetings on different days,
and thus enabling a larger number to be interested in the
work, according to their other engagements. Assistance in
cutting out clothing is always most welcome, as well as
contributions for the purchase of material, and for paying
the women. Subscribers can send one or more poor women
every fortnight for work, at one dollar a share, according
to the amount they have subscribed, and in sending such
women they should be known to be highly respectable, in
S8
Trinity Church Year Book
need; and able to do plain sewing. A desirable class for
such aid is found among aged women, who cannot work
quickly and therefore are grateful for the weekly fifty
cents as an assistance in the expenses of living with their
families, or an addition to the little income they may re¬
ceive from Trust Funds. The money from subscribers
having no special cases for sewing, is readily used for ap¬
plicants to the Trinity Church Visitor, and it is always
the hope to supply from twelve to eighteen shares of
work each fortnight in that direction. Every spring also
we have endeavored to cut out at least one hundred shares
of work for poor women in summer, a time when poverty
presses as heavily almost as in winter. It is thus clear
that willing hands and willing purses are equally impor¬
tant elements in this branch of aid to the poor which
Trinity Church affords, and which cannot be supplied by
larger associations, whose operations require more rou¬
tine, and greater promptness in execution.
For the Managers,
C. L. Shaw, Secretary.

SECRETARY'S REPORT
HE Visiting Society of Trinity Church, although
engaged throughout the year in its often arduous
and difficult duties, is unable, owing to the delicate and
j)rivate nature of most of the cases submitted to the care
of the Visitors, to give any detailed account of the unceas¬
ing labor which is involved.
The records are kept, but few may know of the alleviation
of bitter poverty, the binding of broken hearts, the sym¬
pathy and comfort given to the sick, the dying, and the
sorrowing—the helping hand held out to those who are
straying in paths of sin, too weak alone to seek the nar¬
row way—these blessed ministries have been multiplied
a hundredfold during the past year by the faithful, gentle
and judicious Visitors.
We therefore confidently take leave of the past and hope¬
fully look forward by God's blessing to another year of
e\ en better and wider service and results.
M'e would especially emphasize the devotion of our
Church Visitors, who have been found so constantly at
their posts, in season and out of season, ready to relieve
distress as best they might, by ad\'ice and cheer.
May it not be that this mere sketch of the work done,by
this Society will appeal to the hearts of some who have
not as yet realized what a power for good is among us,
and call out from willing hands larger means with which
to aid the ever increasing demands upon a large parish,
so widely known for its deeds of Christian charity.?
Our Church Visitor, Miss Mitchell, gives the following
statistics of the work done by herself and her assistant,
Miss Lawrence, during the past year.

SECRETARY'S REPORT
NTIL the publication of a Year Book, this Society
A had no name, though for more than twehty-fiYe
years collections have been made through its Committee
for the work of our Church among Indians and colored
people. The monthly oifertories are all too few to allow a
Sunday to be given to every parish society, — and there¬
fore, apart from a few occasions when the voice of Bishop
AVhipple or Bishop Hare stirred the congregation to in¬
stant giving, the money has been raised by personal
application made to members of the Parish.
The Committee has no word but one of gratitude for the
past; generous and cordial has been the response to
their appeal, but there is one element in the present
condition that causes them anxiety. In common with all
the parish societies they have lost large and generous
gifts made annually for many years by those whom death
has taken from us. Perhaps we may not expect these
36
Trinity Church Year Book
gifts to be made good by similar large oflFerings, but may
we not beg those who read this report to consider whether
they can not help us with small sums, if large be impossi¬
ble, and may we not entreat our old friends not to with¬
draw their interest and help from this work even if other
demands press upon them ?
For surely no one can read of the missionary meetings of
the General Convention without feeling that the missions
to Indians and colored people in our own land both need
and deserve our support. Bishop M'hipple, the veteran in
the field. Bishop Hare who has just completed twenty-
five years of devoted service in South Dakota, Bishop
Brooke in Oklahoma, Bishop Leonard in Utah, Bishop
Gray in Florida, Bishop Rowe in Alaska, — all are teach¬
ing " these that dwell in the wilderness " to kneel before
Him, our Lord.
To the work in every one of these places has this parish
sent something during the past year, as well asrto many
points in the South. Missions, schools, hospitals—for
these your Committee asks-money, clothing, supplies.
< fur collections of money are usually made in the spring,
but gifts may be sent at any time to the Treasurer.
The Lent Sewing Circle was organized as a part of this So¬
ciety many years ago ; we also gratefully acknowledge gifts
of clothing from the Employment and Industrial Societies.
\Ve often regret that only through this report do many
of the givers know the destination of their gifts. We
should be glad to furnish letters and information to any
persons who care for them.
For the Committee,
f^ucY K. Woons, Secretdry.

SECRETARY'S REPORT
HE Women's Bible Class of Trinity Parish was
formed especially in the interest of those, who,
for good reasons, could not conveniently attend the
morning session of the Sunday-School, but who, never¬
theless, desired to study the Bible under competent lead¬
ership and Church organization.
For the past three years the study of the practical and
spiritual significance of the exact words of Christ has been
of the deepest interest. For this coming winter, the plan
is to take the writings of St. Paul as the basis of work,
together with topics furnished by the class .members and
drawn from actual consideration on their part. This gives
a wide range of discussion, great flexibility in the weekly
talks, and also contributes the element of personal interest
to those who need it.
JVomeiCs Bible Class
39
Beside the Sunday hour tlie class and teacher meet on
alternate Thursday evenings through the winter to cut
garments^ which are given out for making to as large a
number of women as the funds allow. These garments
when returned well made are sold to replenish material
or are given away in cases of need.
The main source of the money used for the cutting-work
and the other missionary undertakings is the annual sale
held in the Society Room of the Chapel, about Christmas
time, and which is liberally sustained by the Parish and
friends. By the last Thursday in December, the proceeds
are divided and the contributions sent out to the various
charities which claim attention; some go as far as Dakota
to the Church agencies, and others near at hand, within
our own city. A glance at the report of the Treasurer will
show the channels through which the money passes. The
scholarship at St. Mary's School for Indians and the sub¬
scription to the Children's Hospital at Baldwinsville are
annual contributions, the others vary with the needs of
the year.
There can be no stereotyped report of the procedures, for
they change with the changing year. There are various
sub-committees on which the class can always depend, and
every member belongs by membership to the hospitality
committee and assures a hearty welcome to any woman
interested in Bible study. The class meets at 3 p. m. in
the Society Room of the Chapel, every Sunday from No¬
vember to May.

REPORT
IN 1872 tlie first coiitributions from Trinity Church
to the Woman's Union Missionary Society were
received.
In 1879, Miss Sarah F. Gardner went from America to
India and was stationed at Cawnpore.
In 188C, she was called to assume the charge of the Or¬
phanage at Calcutta.
Ill 1888, Trinity Church assumed the salary of Miss Gard¬
ner which has been continued from that date to the pres¬
ent.
The latest reports of the departments of work under Miss
Gardner's charge are enumerated as follows:
W^ork in four villages outside of Calcutta.
Twelve Sunday-schools.
Seven hundred Sunday-school scholars. •
Eighteen Day-schools in and out of Calcutta.
Fifteen hundred pupils taught in Schools and Zenanas.
One Orphanage with one hundred inmates (Calcutta).
One School for higher education, forty pupils.
One hundred Communicants.
There are under Miss Gardner's supervision twelve Eura¬
sian missionaries, sixty native helpers.
Above all (and added to the above) she has translated re¬
ligious books, leaflets and texts of Scripture into several
languages and has distributed thousands among the na¬
tives in railroad stations, Gtats, and wherever any oppor-
42
Trinity Church Year Book
tunity has presented itself to spread a knowledge of the
Word.
The High School was opened in 1895 and from that time
has been in a flourishing condition. I cannot tell the
amount of good which has been accomplished by the pu¬
pils among their own people—it is doubtless very great.
The Converts' Home has done a great deal for Christ
though the number of inmates is small.

SECRETARY'S REPORT
HE Zenana Band is now entering upon its ninth
year, and we are glad to say that during tlie past
year we ha\'e not been obliged to relinquish any of the
work which we have undertaken. This year it was deter¬
mined to raise our money pledged, without the aid of
an entertainment; rather by each member giving as
much as she felt able to. AVe are glad to say that this
The Trinity Church Zenana Band 45
plan has worked well, as the full amount and more has
been raised. We hope in the future to be able to still
raise the money in this way, as the spirit of self-sacrifice
seems a better one upon which to build one's charity, than
that of begging others to give what we will not make the
effort to give ourselves.
As formerly, we are supporting three scholarships in Miss
Gardner's High School in Calcutta (one of which is
" llie Phillips Brooks Memorial Scholarship"), and also
the little school in C'awnpore under Miss Ward, of which
Lalain, a native woman, is the teacher.
At our January meeting we had the pleasure of having
Miss Ward with us, to tell us about the School, and we
are sure that if the members of the Band realized what a
blessing it is to the little children, they would want to
open another. Miss Ward told us that half the money we
send her is used for this school, and the other half for her
Zenana work.
Besides Miss Ward's most interesting talk, we have had
the pleasure of addresses during the year from Rev. Dr.
Donald ; Miss Lathrop of Allahabad ; Mr. A. P. Stokes,
Jr., of the Episcopal Theological School, Cambridge ; and
Mr. George A. Kittredge of Bombay ; to all ,of whom our
thanks are due.
APill not all who are willing to become members of the
Band, and join us in our work for the coming year, kindly
send us their names as soon as possible ?

REPORT
HE meetings of the Girls' Friendly Society of the
Trinity Branch have been on Tuesday evenings,
during the winter months, from a quarter before eight
until nine o'clock.
48
Trinity Church Year Book
The work during the past winter was largely reorganiza¬
tion and encoui-aging the interest of both members and
associates in enlarging and making the branch a more
useful part of the church work. In this we have been
greatly helped by the Rector and his Assistants. We ad¬
mitted seven new membei-s at the admission service on
May lOth which was well attended. TTie Christmas tree
was on December 27th, and about thirty poor children
and their mothers had supper and presents.
There was a neighborhood conference in the Chapel on
March 2nd, in which eight branches joined,and in the papers
read was much to interest both members and associates.
We are looking forward with great hope and faith to the
winter's work, and trust to doing better and more work
than ever. To help us, we should be glad of the coopera¬
tion of the teachers and young women of the Suiiday-
iSchool and the Parish.
AVe shall be glad to welcome on Tuesday evenings any
of those interested in the Girls' Friendly Society and its
work. One of its many objects is to bring girls together
in a natural, simple way, that they may have a chance to
be interested in each other and in helping where there is
need of help. "Bear ye one another's burdens," is the
motto of the Society — and thus to help girls to lead a
pui-e, helpful life with high standards and ideals, and to
give them an interest in the Church and her work is our
greatest aim.
An associate must be a Church member, a member not
necessarily so, and an associate's duty is to be the friend,
adviser, and helper of the sevei-al girls who are under her
especial charge.
GirW Friendly Society

V\''e try to make our Tuesday evenings so bright and joy¬

to them, and have made out a particularly pleasant pro¬
gramme for this year.

The Bible Class for men which meets e^'ery Sunday moni-
iiiff at a quarter before ten o'<'lock in the Brotherhood
Room, St. James Avenue entrance, has now entered upon
the fourth year of study with Dr. Blake. In that time
the attendance has increased a hundred per cent. —a trib¬
ute to the faithfulness and intelligence of the teaching
avid a source of gratification to the friends and supporters
of this very efficientarm of the church. Dr. Blake con¬
tinues the studies in the gospel according to St. Luke,
tiie second half of the book.
The Visiting Committee of the Brotherhood has made a
large number of calls upon young men who occasionally
come to Trinity Church and has endeavored to make
them feel that they have a spiritual home among us.
The ushers in the church are drawn from the Brother¬
hood, and this service is not one of the least of the many
useful offices which members of the Brotherhood perform.

HE work of the Parish Library has gone on reg¬
ularly and faithfully through the year ; though
there can be little variety from former years.
The committee have read and considered ninety books.
Of these less than half were found to be of sufficient
value to admit them to the library. Among these were
books on theological and social questions, biographies,
missions, travels, essays, also several books of value have
been added to the reference library, among them the
first volumes of the new Dictionary of the Bible. The
books in this part of the library are not taken out, as
they are kept there for reference and study when needed.
SECRETARY'S REPORT
Trinity Parish Library Committee
55
Although the number of books added each year seems
small, as a whole, the library is now quite large, and tbe
standard of value and merit is kept very high. No book
is admitted without being carefully and critically read by
three readers, and not till after these opinions have been
given and freely discussed is the book voted upon. And
so many new books of interest and value on all subjects
are to be found in the Parish Library that it is hoped that
even more of the Parish than before, will avail them¬
selves of its privileges.
For the Committee,
J. L. Motley, Secretary.

REPORT
HIS committee exists for the purpose of maintain¬
ing a high standard in the literature offered to
the scholai-s of the Sunday-School.
The work of the Sub-Committee is to select the books,
each one of which is afterwards read by three members of
the Reading Committee, who give their report at the
regular monthly meeting.
The scope of the library has heen somewhat extended this
Trinitjj Sundcifj-School Library 57
year. Books which have a hi^h moral teaching have been
admitted whether or not they can be technically called
novels.
There are now about 1300 books in the library, and a
large proportion of these are in constant circulation.
As the Sub-Committee selected many old, standard books,
which were not in the library, the number of books which
was accepted this year far e.xceeds the number accepted
last year. Out of the seventy books which were read and
discussed, forty were accepted, and the following is a list
of these:
Dickens's Christmas Book
Plants and Their Children
What Katy Did

SECRETARY'S REPORT
I 'RINITY CLUB held seven meetings last winter,
at five of which the members were privileged to
hear addresses delivered by Bishop Lawrence on The
Lambeth Conference; by Prof. VY. F. Putnam, of Harvard
University, on Recent Investigations in American Archceot-
ogyi by M""- Clayton, of the Blue Hill Observatory, on
Clouds and Kites; by Prof. G. L. Goodale, of the Botan¬
ical Museum of Harvard University, on Australia ; and by
Dr. C. J. Blake, on Ancient Breech Loading Cannon.
There was also a general debate by the members of the
club on the subject of The Incendiary and Irresponsible
Utterances of the Public Press.
Trinity Club
63
At the annual dinner, which was held at the Hotel
Tuileries, were present fifty-four members and guests.
The speakers of the evening were the Rev. E. W. Don¬
ald, Rev. F. B. Allen, Rev. Herman Page, and Dr. C. J.
Blake. The musical part of the entertainment, which was
kindly provided by Mr. W. P. Blake, consisted of songs
by Messrs. Sargent and Smith.
The increased attendance during the past year justifies
the wisdom of making the meetings less frequent, thus
enabling the management to make each meeting more
attractive.
As in the preceding year, after the literary exercises of
the evening, the club has adjourned to the Hotel Bruns¬
wick for supper and for a period of social intercourse,
which made it possible for the members not only to be¬
come better acquainted with one another but also with
the rector of the parish.
We are very grateful to Dr. Donald, who, notwithstand¬
ing his many engagements, has taken great interest in
our work and has been present at our meetings, assist¬
ing us with words of advice and counsel.
The hearty thanks of the club are especially due to our
retiring president Dr. Robert Amory, who during the
past two years has been most earnest in furthering the
interests of the club, and who more than any other one
man is responsible for its present flourishing condition.
The meetings for the year 1898-99 will be held on the
second Monday of each month, that is, October 10, No¬
vember 14, December 12, January 9, February 13, March
13, and April 10.

REPORT
UIIING the past year tweaty-one women have
been inmates at the Home, the greatest number
at any one time being seventeen. In several cases, while
66
Trinity Church Year Booh
recovering from sickness and while permanent arrange¬
ments for homes elsewhere were being made, hoarders
came to us for a time and were thus carried over an emer¬
gency.
As I find some misapprehension in regard to the object
and working of the Home I wish to set forth as clearly as
may be some of its distinguishing features. The Home is
first of all for the aged poor of our own Pai-ish, hut after
these have been provided for, if there should then be va^
cancies, applicants from outside our own Parish will be
received, preference being given to those who are Episco¬
palians. Each inmate pays, either herself or through
friends or through the Church or through all these—
each contributing a little—the sum of four dollars per
week, which sum includes everything—food, washing,
care, light and heat. Inasmuch as it is a home and not
a hospital, no confirmed invalid will be received, but if
invalidism developes after admission, it goes without say¬
ing that no one would be turned away and that every
care and attention would he willingly given. It may,
perhaps, be cited, as an illustration of the wise super¬
vision exercised over our household in the matter of
food and general welfare, that the entire bill for medical
attendance for the past year amounted to just forty dol¬
lars—a most remarkable showing when we consider the
number and the age of the inmates.
Except during the summer season the women were visited
each week by two of the ladies on the Board of Managers,
and during the entire year simple religious services have
been held twice each month by one of the clergy of the
parish. We are again under many obligations to Miss
Home for Aged Women 6T
Ruth E. Prout, Miss Harriet F. Baker and Miss Laura
Engelbracht, students at the New England Conservatory
' of Music, and also Miss Gertrude Rogers, who have been
kind enough to attend these Sunday afternoon services
and assist in the singing.
We acknowledge with many thanks the following do¬
nations to the Home, since the last report.
M-iss Neilson, Rug.
Miss Means, Parlor Lamp.
Mrs. Donald, Barrel of Potatoes.
Mrs. Sears, Large Plant.
Mrs. Ahl and Mrs. Spaulding, Christmas Dinner.

SECRETARY'S REPORT
RINITV House Laundry has gone on with its
good work during the past year, good, in the
sense of having given employment to sixty-nine different
women, and the Managers hope equally good in the qual¬
ity of the work it has turned out. Its object is, first of
all philanthropic, but at the same time its aim is to keep
the standard of the work as high as possible.
The Laundry is ready to employ any worthy woman, who
even if inefficient is willing to learn, and does not desire
to employ them permanently, preferring rather to see
them obtain, through experience learned, better positions
and higher pay. While at work in the Laundry the wo¬
men can if they choose, leave their children to be cared
for in the Nursery upstairs. It is pleasant to know that
by coming in touch with the Matron and oftentimes tiie
Trinity House Laundry 75
Managers, the women have been helped and influenced,
so that through sympathy received, no less than hy
wages earned, their lives have heen brightened.
All interested in the Laundry look forward to a time
when with greater facilities, the work will grow and so
benefit a larger number of women who wish to earn a
livelihood. New patrons are desired, and the Matron
can be interviewed at any time at Trinity House.

SECRETARY'S REPORT
|*HE Nursery has completed another year of its
^ ministrations to poor and needy women and their
children.
One hundred and sixty-six children have been received
during the year, the daily attendance ranging from three
to forty-one^ and the whole number of Nursery days
being seven thousand eight hundred and seventy-two.
The scope of the Nursery work has expanded beyond the
actual care of the children brought to the rooms for the
day^ and there are several instances where aid and relief
Trinity House Day Nursery
79
have been rendered to families; cases of extreme poverty
and want reported to the Associated Charities, and one or
two neglected children brought to the notice of the So¬
ciety for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children.
One woman,, who had worked regularly in the Laundry,
died, leaving two children to be cared for by an incom¬
petent father. The baby was taken by a relative, but a
little girl of,six was running wild on the streets entirely
neglected. One of the visitors reported the case to the
Massachusetts Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to
Children, and soon after was appointed guardian of the
child. The child was placed in the Home for Little Wan¬
derers, and was shortly adopted by a man and his wife
who have given her a most happy and satisfactory home
in every way.
The children of the Nursery with their mothers and
nurses were again invited to pass a week in July at the
Seashore Home at Beachmont. The party comprised fifty-
two persons and the week was enjoyed to the utmost.
Other outings enjoyed by the children were excursions
in the electric cars to "City Point and Franklin Pai-k.
Meetings were held once a fortnight in the evening for
the mothers, at which amusement and games were pro¬
vided for them, and on several occasions music was fur¬
nished by young students from the Conservatory of Mu¬
sic, which was enjoyed extremely. Very little sickness has
occurred and at no time has the Nursery been obliged to
close its doors on that account. The thanks of the Nursery
are due to Dr. Gay who has kindly visited the children
from time to time.
The plea of the Nursery to the Parish is the same as last
80
Trinity Church Year Booh
year — more room, better accommodations and removal
from the close proximity of the large business of the
Laundry. Either one of the charitable works now carried
on in the small dwelling known as Trinity House is suffi¬
cient in its scope to completely fill the house, and it is
earnestly desired that the Parish will not allow the pres¬
ent overcrowded and unsanitary conditions to prevail au-
. other year. ,

REPORT
HE number of names enrolled for these classes
is not as large as last year, but the average
attendance is no less and the interest is greater. Most
of the girls who commenced in the autumn have been
faithful throughout the year, leaving but little opportu¬
nity for new comers and goers.
The Laundry Class continues to be very popular and the
girls who have gone from it, often come back to have
"Just a few more lessons, so I shall never forget."
In the Mending Class, in addition to the regular work,
a number of new garments have been made. The week's
vacation at Easter was spent by some of the girls in
dressmaking with decidedly successful results.
The Little Housekeepers Class, as well as the Evening
Cooking Class, has been well attended throughout the
84
Trinity Church Year Book
year. The ease and carefulness with which these girls
accomplish the tasks given them is very pleasing. They
appreciate what they are gaining and do not hesitate to
express their gratitude.
Some of the girls secured places to do housework during
the summer vacation, giving satisfaction to all concerned.
We have on the roll the names of more than ninety girls.
There are only three of these of whom we know nothing
at present.
An apartment has been hired in Winchester Street, lead¬
ing out of Pleasant Street. It is a suite of four light
pleasant rooms which are in perfect order, with conven¬
ient and pretty furnishings. The effect of the improved
conditions on the girls can hardly be imagined.
'Ilie library which was transferred to us from the Sew¬
ing School last year is much used and appreciated, par¬
ticularly the books on history.
The Classes will be continued here during the coming
winter on Thursday and Friday evenings, and Thui-sday,
Friday, and Saturday afternoons.
The object and ideal of the work is being realized as the
girls see and hold more of the Truth of Life.
Homes are being better regulated and of courtse. made
happier, and the life of this class of girls is being ele¬
vated.

REPORT
HE affairs of the Pawnshop seemed to have come
to a standstill because those who had availed
themselves of its privileges failed to pay interest or to
redeem the articles pawned. In the month of March it
was thought advisable to notify all who had left articles
in pawn, that we had them in our possession and would
be glad to have them redeemed, the time for which they
had been pawned having expired in every case.
A circular was prepared and sent to each person. The
response was slow, many paid interest and a few articles
were redeemed. Many letters were returned, the pei-son
could not be found.
An unusual number of applications for loans of large
sums of money and for moi-tgages have come to us this
summer, but as that is not what the pawnshop is for they
were refused and instructed where to go to find what
they wanted.

ST. ANDREWS CHURCH
3IntroDuctorp
E have had much to he grateful for at St.
Andrew's during the past year. As the appended
repoi*ts will show, the various schools and societies have
heen maintained by an efficient and devoted hand of
workers, who come chiefly from Trinity Church. Some
of these have recently been obliged to leave us, and their
loss will he most seriously felt, hut others are coming
forward, and we hope for more. I take this opportunity
to appeal for helpers, to fill the gaps and to aid us in
devising new methods of usefulness. As will be seen from
the repoi-ts, the work carried on is diversified, and ap¬
peals to different tastes and temperaments. Any one who
wishes to devote spare time to the service of others, can
scarcely fail to find a suitable outlet for his or her energy
at St. Andrew's.
The number of persons confirmed this year was rather
larger than usual. Some came forward through the in¬
fluence exerted upon them by the Choir, but as in the
past, most of the candidates were from the Sunday-School.
This is the experience doubtless, of most of our churches,
and it emphasizes the importance of Sunday-School work,
and the far-reaching influence of devoted Sunday-School
teachers. It is impos^ble to overestimate the value of
this work, or to prize too highly the patient toil, and
persistent painstaking of the many who give themselves
voluntarily to it, but there are never enough teachers
to meet the need, and the question whether it is his
duty to help meet this need, is one which every Chris¬
tian man ought to put to himself. It has been urged in
106
St. Andrew''s Church
some quarters that this task must be relegated to pro¬
fessional teachers who shall be paid for the work, but
may the day when this has to be done be far distant.
The building of a large public school in our neighbor¬
hood, removes from the Parish House the • Kindergarten
and the primary class which occupied rooms in it for a
long time, but the House is still constantly used by
societies and charities not immediately connected with
the parish.
The district needs another kindergarten, and we have
urged its establishment upon the school committee, but
for economical reasons it has not been started. If some
way could be devised to meet the salary of the teacher,
another kindergarten could at once be opened in our
House. It is possible that some of the many young ladies
who "have taken the kindergarten training course, but
who do not teach, might be willing to volunteer to open
this school.

year, and the interest taken by all the singers in the
church and its services continues undiminished. The St.
Andrew's Choir Guild has been formed, the object of
which is to bring past and present members together in
friendly intercourse.
Two of our gi-aduates are now in the ministry of the
110 St. Andrew's Church
Church and several of them are serving other parishes
as organists, choir directors, or singers.
Mr. ^Vhittier continues his plan of giving each singer
a weekly lesson in voice culture, and the opportunity for
instruction is highly appreciated. New candidates for the
Choir are always welcome. They should apply to Mr.
Whittier, 56 Gainsborough Street.

SUPERINTENDENT'S REPORT
AST Christmas a radical change in the method of
celebrating the Christmas Festival was made.
Heretofore the festival has been held on Innocents' Day,
principally for the reason that the teachers were so busy
on Christmas Eve that they could not attend to it then.
But last year by a unanimous vote of the teachers it was
agreed to hold the festival on Christmas Eve at 7.30, and
all the scholars and nearly all the teachers were present.
The service consisted of the usual carol singing, lesson,
prayers and addresses, and then a procession was formed,
led by the choir boys out of the church into a room in the
Parish House, where instead of the large and elaborate
tree which we have had in the past, there was a small one,
surrounded by candy boxes, one of which was given to
each scholar by the Rector. The plan of giving presents at
the festival was abandoned several years ago, because of
the disorder and confusion which it bred.
It was felt by the teachers that in addition to this strictly
religious celebration of the festival, something of a lighter
character should be allowed, and therefore on Innocents'
night, our old festival date, a series of tableaux were
shown, the boys and girls forming the groups, illustrating
the Annunciation, the Shepherds, the Angel and the
Shepherds, the Nativity, the Adoration of the Shepherds,
and the Adoration of the Magi. Behind the stage a large
chorus of children sang the proper hymns and carols,
while as the pictures were shown, one of the teachers read
the fitting Scriptures. The perfect silence of the large
audience as they sat in the darkness for an hour watchinv
The Sunday-School

the pictures aud listening to the reading and singing, tes¬
tified to their appreciation of the impressive scenes. It
was an adaptation of the ancient Christmas Mystery wliich
so commended itself to all, that we have determined to
make it an annual occurrence at the festival.
To Mr. Joseph Lindon Smith we are indebted for the
posing of the figures, and for valuable suggestions.
The attendance is a little less than it was last year, but
this is accounted for by the fact that there are now less
than fifty Protestant children in the public school popula¬
tion of the district which numbers about twenty-five hun¬
dred pupils.

EEKLY meetings of the Girls' Friendly Society
have been held as usual every Friday from Octo¬

we worked for Christmas-trees, making candy-bags, mar¬
ble-bags for boys and work-bags for girls. These were dis¬
tributed by the Episcopal City Mission. Through Janu¬
ary, and up to Lent, a course of very successful dancing
lessons was given by two volunteer helpers.

During Lent we made bags for school-books, which were
sent to India where the sister of one of our Associates has
gone as a missionaiy.
A box of bed linen and towels has been sent to St. Agnes
Hospital, Raleigh, S. C.
The Junior Branch, of twenty-five candidates, under the
direction of two of our Senior membere, has done excellent
work. As many of the candidates from this Branch joined
the older Branch this winter we appreciated the work
done the previous year by these Senior members. These
children made worsted balls and reins for Christmas-
trees, also scrap-books for a Boston kindergarten.
The work done by the Girls' Friendly Society increases
each year, and may we have strength through God's help
to do still more in the coming months.

REPORT
I'HE St. Andrew's Club for young men began its
JL life in November, 1897, its nucleus and cause
being in two of the large Sunday-School classes which
for several years had heen developing in the boys a spirit
of close friendship and spiritual earnestness. The purpose
of the Club was to develop and to give practical outlet
for this spirit.
The occupations of the Club have been various, changing
with the changing needs and interests of the young men.
At fii-st during the cold months the Friday evening meet¬
ings would begin promptly at half-past seven with gym-
126 St. Andrew's Church
nasties, and the eight or ten boys responded well to the
two maxims, "Keep time" and "Do it hard." Wrest¬
ling, jumping, and vaulting would follow till the puffing
boys were quite ready to take seats for a narration and
discussion of such matters of interest as they could find
in the daily papers, or in The Outlook, or Puhlic Opinion.
Each member having his special field to cover was asked
to bring a few written memoranda in his note-book. The
accumulated restlessness would eventually be i-elieved by
games — checkers ; whist; Codom ; Earth, Air, M^ater,
etc., and the meeting would close at half-past nine, after
— the custom that alone continued through the year — a
five minute religious talk by tile leader, and the saying of
the Lord's Prayer by all.
In mid-winter the Current Events Class was dropped and
many evenings were occupied with the drawing up of a
constitution and the definite organization of the Club.
Spring meetings were mostly spent in discussing the
" Social," and in training the boys for the presentation
of the one-act play " Box and Cox."
The eager return of the boys to the Club this fall proves
their satisfaction with " the purpose and methods of the
Club in the mental, moral, and physical development of
its members." (Article I. of Constitution.)

REPORT
HE membership in this Club is about forty. It

By the removal from the city of Mr. Thomas P. Jones
and Mr. Hemming, the Club has lost friends to whose
exertions and unflagging interest its marked success is
chiefly due.
In addition to the modified indoor football and baseball,
which have been our chief reliance in the way of vigorous
exercise and amusement. Miss Paulina Smith, whose com¬
ing to the Club is very timely, is devising other games
and exercises especially for the smaller boys.
The boys have learned to conduct the business part of
their meetings in fairly correct parliamentary fashion,
and we have adopted the custom begun by Mr. George
Paine in the Club for older boys, of closing the meetings
with a brief religious instruction and a prayer.

I*HE nineteenth year of the Working Girls' Indus-
trial Club closed on May 2.
The Club meets Tuesday and Thursday evenings from
November until May, and offers classes in the following
branches: dressmaking, millinery, plain sewing, em¬
broidery, book-keeping, stenography, arithmetic, writing,
grammar, elocution, cooking, singing, and gymnastics.
Any young working woman can join upon the payment of
a fee of one dollar.
The Club does not aim to turn out milliners, dressmakers,
or book-keepers, but to help its members to supplement
their education and enlarge their resources. The girls who
work in offices and who have had little time for home
training join the sewing classes and gain new power with
130 St. Andrew''s Church
their fingers, while those who work all day with their
needles find help in the book-keeping, writing, and gram¬
mar classes.
The representatives of many nations and creeds meet in
the working room on Chambers Street, but kindly affec¬
tion" has always hidden the tender points of difference,
and the Moody and Sankey hymn, with which the even¬
ings end, seems to rise with equal enthusiasm from the
Roman Catholic, the Protestant and the Jew.
The mauagei*s gratefully acknowledge the good work of
the volunteer teachers.

XT was found difficult to raise the sum needed to
carry on the school last winter, and it therefore
seemed advisable this winter to curtail expenses by les¬
sening the number of classes. The primary classes, to
whom in the past have been given the simplest lessons in
design and form, have been dropped, and the school this
year consists of about sixty older boys, most of whom
have been with us for several seasons.
The Sloyd work is now the principal feature of the school.
Several new benches have been added, and more than
twenty boys are at work on the prescribed set of models.
Boys' Industrial School
133
• The interest of the boys in this work is remarkable. Some
of it they already get in the public schools, but in spite of
this, they are eager to spend their Saturday mornings at
our benches, and they beg to be allowed to come and
work by themselves after school during the week. We
have planned to make this possible, so that on afternoons
when the weather prevents out-door play, some of the
boys may employ their energies in the workshop.
The class in mechanical drawing is designed to fit boys for
Sloyd. In this they are taught how to draw plans of the
work which afterward they execute at the bench. No
bench work is attempted until a careful and accurate de¬
sign for it has been drawn on paper.
The free hand classes work with the pencil, but chiefly
with charcoal. Their models are common things, and
shadow and perspective are studied. The progress made
in these classes during the past is remarkable.
A waiting-list of some twenty-five boys eager to get into
the school when places can be made for them, testifies to
the sentiments of the boys regarding manual training.
Miss Livesey, who has been our Director for several years,
has resigned to accept an important position out of town.
It is to her chiefly that the admirable condition of the
school is due.
So thoroughly did Miss Livesey organize the school that
we feel it can, at least for a time, go on without an expert
director, and Miss Margaret Whitney has very kindly
• consented to take the position of volunteer superinten¬
dent. A further economy is thus made in expenses, and
yet there is reason to think that the school will not lose
in efficiency.

Ci)e piap Eoom0
S ill past years, St. Andrew's House has been
used during July and August for the so-called
" Play Rooms," of the Episcopal City Mission.
The average daily attendance of children, nearly all of
Hebrew and Italian origin, has been 154.
Great aptitude has been shown by some of the children
for coloring and nature study, which have been intro¬
duced as part of the " play," and it is becoming a ques¬
tion whether the needs of the children will not justify
the attempt to give more serious instruction than has yet
been contemplated. There is no wish to rob the children
of their school vacation, but it is recognized that the
listless idleness in the hot streets or close rooms, which
the children are prone to fall into during the summer is
not, in any true sense, recreation. It is well worth to ask,
whether it is possible to devise some occupation for city
children in vacation time, which, while it is genuine
recreation, is at the same time of genuine value to them.
These Play Rooms are an attempt, and a successful at¬
tempt, to answer this question, and it is easy to im¬
agine that the experience gained in these Play Rooms
will lead to a better understanding of the problem, and
broader effort to solve it.

Mission for Deaf-Mutes Ul
HISTORY
HIS Mission for Deaf-Mutes was established in the
year 1892 as the result of the faithful ministra¬
tions of the Rev. Norman Gallaudet, D. D., and his assist¬
ant, the Rev. John Chamberlain, D. D., who for many
years visited the Diocese of Massachusetts regularly, and
until after the coming of the present minister in charge.
Ten years ago the deaf-mutes met in the Church of the
Good Shepherd, Cortez Street, as an unsectarian congre¬
gation (simply acknowledging the hospitality of the
Church and the occasional visits of Church clergymen
who could minister to them); to-day the Mission repre¬
sents about thirty communicants, and a Church service
every Sunday, and a minister and lay-readers ready to
attend to the spiritual and temporal needs of those who
call upon them. The Mission took its name from its loca¬
tion to avoid confusion in finding it; and was for several
years under the pecuniary care of the Episcopal City
Mission, the fii*st year being almost entirely supported by
that body. After a time it was left to devise means for its
own support, and under an Executive Committee con¬
ducted its affairs, employing a collector to solicit dona¬
tions and subscriptions. On the fiist of May last, the
work was placed entirely .under the care of Trinity Par¬
ish and its Rector, the Rev. Dr. Donald, with the present
incumbent as minister in charge.
The scope of its missionary work.
Any one attending a Sunday morning service might not
readily understand what missionary results had already
come from the labors of thofee who have clung hopefully
U2
St. Andrew's Church
to the Mission since its establishment at St. Andrew's,
but when it is remembered that ten years ago neither of
the lay readei-s was a Churchman, and several members of
the Committee were not even baptized ; and that to-day
there are regular mission stations already established in
other parts of this diocese as well as in other dioceses of
New England (^Vorcester, Salem, Beverly, Lynn, Law¬
rence, Massachusetts; St. Luke's Cathedral, Portland,
besides other places occasionally visited in the Diocese of
Maine ; and Keene and Nashua, New Hampshire ; besides
an occasional visit to Providence, Rhode' Island) one can
perhaps appreciate what the Episcopal Church in Boston
has done through St. Andrew's Mission to carry the
knowledge of the gospel to those who were far off as well
as to those who were nigh. The congregation is not large,
but it represents all who may possibly need its services in
Boston and vicinity, and sometimes there are as many as
fifteen different localities represented in a congregation of
only thirty or forty souls. Many deaf-mutes are like their
hearing brethren in thinking that the Church is a bank
out of which they may draw money without making any
deposits, and so the minister has discovered that certain
deaf-mutes never (or seldom) come to Church unless in
distress or out of employment. Then again, a part of its
work is to keep people informed what is being done by
the Church for these unfortunate people, and how they
may be properly helped without resorting to dishonest
means for collecting money. I understand that for years
money has been collected from benevolent people under
false pretences, and, from letters recently received asking
about certain persons and agencies, I am not satisfied that
Mission for Deaf-Mutes U3
this dishonest practice has been entirely discontinued.
Surely deaf-mutes need the gospel quite as much as their
more fortunate brethren, but unfortunately those who
need it'most stay furthest away from its preaching until
some sudden misfortune brings them to the Mission for
assistance, or their friends send for the minister to visit
them in illness. There are several families where there
are more than one deaf-mute in each family, but seldom
two or more can afford to come to Church on the same
Sunday, as few live within walking distance of the Church.
I have often wished that the minister in charge had it in
his power to distribute car-tickets to deaf-mutes to be
used in attending the Church service, for I think by such
action the congregation would be considerably increased
in size.
Support and Charity.
Since the first of last May the Mission has been supported
by Trinity Church, Boston; that is, the stipend for mis¬
sionary's salary has been paid by that Parish through its
Rector. The Sunday offerings have been at the disposal
of the Minister to be used for current expenses and
charitable needs, and an account will be found appended
to this report from the two treasurei-s who have had the
care of the funds for the present year up to Nov. 1.
Deaf-mute Employment.
I feel constrained to say a few words with reference to
the difficulties deaf-mutes experience in obtaining work.
I know of several at the present writing who have been
out of work for some time past, who are respectable,
honest, and industrious, and who have families to sup-
144.
St. Andrew's Church
port, but who cannot find anything to do because of
tlieir deafness; unless some charitably disposed persons
are found who will create positions for these unfortunate
ones to fill I see no possible way for them to earn an
honest living. Everywhere the competitor is a hearing
man, and deafness therefore bars them out of the com¬
petition for legitimate occupation. If some manufacturer
would give deaf-mutes, who have families, the preference
over hearing men who have no families, the subject
might excite interest, and in time become one of the
social questions of the day as to the position the deaf-
mute occupies in a community. Only a few weeks ago
a clergyman asked me if it was not possible for me to
find something for one of his parishioners to do ; he was
thoroughly competent in every way except that he was
almost totally deaf. I told him it was almost impossible
unless an employer was very charitably inclined, and
even then the deaf man must expect greatly reduced
wages on account of his physical infirmity. St. Andrew's
Mission undertakes to meet every demand, but finding
work for deaf-mutes is along the line of the impossible
unless Christian business men are sufficiently interested
to endeavor to help their weaker brethren.
Services.
The services have been held in the morning during the
greater part of the year, but during the months of July
and August an afternoon hour was taken, and it was
thought advantageous as deaf-mutes attended at the
later hour who seldom if ever came to the morning ser¬
vice. The communicants have been very regular in their
Mission for Deq^'-Mutes 145
attendance and there has been a marked increase in tlie
size of the congregations.

RINITY DISPENSARY presents to the public
th® following report of its work during 1897-8:
The object of this institution is to furnish treatment to
working women and girls out of working hours; for it
has been demonstrated—
Firtft: That the loss of a half or a whole day's pay, in¬
curred by waiting for treatment at the crowded dispensa¬
ries, is a serious item in the small weekly incomes of
many women and girls, especially if repeated visits be
necessary.
Second: That many people neglect themselves physically
because they are liable to loss of employment on account
of absence.
Third: That timely assistance out of working houi-s does
not interfere with wage earning, and tends to increase
the number of self-supporting people in a community.
The Dispensary is open to patients on four evenings of
the week at six o'clock—the hour for closing the shops,
factories, etc.
The following is the order of clinics:
Monday and Thursday,
Medical and Surgical;
Diseases of Women ;
Diseases of the Eye.
Tuesday and Friday.
Medical and Surgical ;
Diseases of AYomen ;
Diseases of Throat, Nose, and Ear.

REPORT OF THE DIRECTORS
4^ I ^HOSE who read the reports of the many hospitals
^ 1 and charitable institutions, which annually come
to us, must realize that there is a degree of pui-pose and
usefulness in these reports which makes their preparation
something more than perfunctory. M'hile they render an
154
Vincent Memorial Hospital
account to those who have gjenerously contributed to the
maintenance of tlie institutions and are useful to students
of their statistics, it is always the ho])e of the managei-s
that they may also serve as an appeal to the community
for continued and increased support.
The Vincent Memorial Hospital, like so many of our
charities, must continue yearly to make this appeal
through its Annual Report. Its invested fund is very
small, and only about one-third of its running expenses
can the met by the income received from this fund and
from patients who pay in whole or in part. It is this
constantly-recurring need which must every year be
brought to the attention and sympathy of the public and
friends of the Hospital.
A brief outline of the history and work of this Hospital
was given in the report of 1896. Founded for the treat¬
ment of wage-earning women and girls exclusively, the
Hospital Staff and the Executive Committee which has
the immediate management, are composed entirely of
women, and it is to the women of our community that
we have been indebted for encouragement and support.
The Vincent Club, composed of young ladies faithfully
interested in the work, has been most zealous in raising
funds in aid of the Hospital.
The principal events in the management during the year
have been the appointment of a new matron and the
reorganization of the Hospital Staff.
The number of surgeons in charge has been increased
from two to three. Dr. Lena V. Ingraham, who had from
the first been senior surgeon, and Di-s. Bond, Dexter,
and Bryant resigned their positions upon January 26
Directors' Report
155
last, and at a special meeting of the Board of Directors
the following vote was passed, to .be entered upon the
Records of the Hospital:
Resolved, That the Directoi-s of the Vincent Memorial
Hospital send to Di-s. Ingraham, Bond, Dexter, and
Bryant an expression of their appreciation of the faithful,
earnest, and skilful services rendered by them to the
Hospital.
Miss Jeannette Forrest, who had been from 1892 the
efficient matron of the Hospital, resigned on September
1, 1897, and her position is satisfactorily filled by Miss
Sarah J. Ross, a graduate of the Episcopal Hospital of
Philadelphia, who took charge on October 19, 1897.
The tables of statistics from the last report are here re¬
printed and brought down to date.
Of the total to date under the head of " Contributions "
in Table I, $5,262.68, nearly one-half part, are the re¬
ceipts from entertainments, fairs, and benefit perform¬
ances which were held under the auspices of the Vincent
Club.

It is evident from examination of these tables that the
number of annual subscribers has been yearly decreasing;
that in no year have the direct gifts, together with the
income derived from paying patients, been sufficient to
meet the current expenses; and that the Hospital has
been indebted for its maintenance chiefly to the active
efforts of the A'incent Club and to special benefit enter¬
tainments.
Each year in the Report of the Medical Staff the occupa¬
tions and nationalities of the patients have been given,
and it may be interesting to note those representing the
larger numbers.

HE Vincent Club this year numbers ninety-three
members, and has worked with all its wonted
energy and enthusiasm. Although some of its old members
have resigned and many have been away all winter, the
earnings of the Club have been even greater than those of
the previous year. The proceeds of the entertainment
The Vincent Club

gfiven last spring amounted to $628.50 ; those of the en¬
tertainment this April to $853.69, and the Club Assess¬
ments were $100.10,—making a total of $1,582.29.
The members of the Club are working now for a Fair
which they intend to have in the autumn. It is hoped
that all interested in the Hospital will second their efforts
by generous donations to this Fair.
The officers gratefully acknowledge the courtesy of the
Trustees in inserting this brief notice in their Annual Re¬
port.
