Newspaper Page TextWEDNESDAY, ' SEPTEMBER 13. 1S22. THE OREGON v DAILY JOURNAL, PORTLAND, Oi:t;GON. DEACONESS TELLS OF MISSION WORK AMONG 1G0RR0TES Fvle thousand IgorroteB of the wild! "est mountain tribes of the Philippines.-V Among- whom head hunting is not yet .v4nn anrl 'with IvKnm trial marriage, belief In Bpirita and their propitiation by sacrifice are as common a the air they breathe are the only companions and fellow workers of Deaconess Anne Har sreaves, yho has elected to spend her life in this far away spot- in an ef- message of love, happiness and health. Miss Harsrreaves is one of the most interested and interesting attendants at the General Convention of the Epis copal church. "When I went into this district 12 years ago any idea of civilization was unknown. The thing that made the greatest Impression upon me was the absolute nakedness of the people, not because of the civilized idea of its .Immodesty, but because of the suffer ing of the people. DEATH LIST HEATT "The settlement, which is 60ft0 feet .above the sea, is extremely cold and damp, the people live in grass huts and sleep on the ground, which is nearly always damp. As a result tu berculosis flourishes and the people are very short lived. Afire smoulders in the center of the huts most of the time and the smoke so affects the eyes that thousands go blind. On ac count of the general bad living con ditions and the fact that the women work in t,he fields up to the very hour of child birth, many of them die at that time. I have raised six babte. whose mothers died In child birth .and I have the legal papers for them. I am bringing them up in the mission and I hope they will become Christian leaders among their people. "It is not difficult to gain the con fidence and interest of. these simple .people. When you make them happy and comfortable you have won them. VlfTROLA ENTERTAINS "I have a Virtrola at the mission . and they come for miles to hear iC Then I teach the children to dance "and when they are pick I do. what I can for them, although I am . not a doctor or even a graduate nurse just a practical nurse, but wo do a big work from our dispensary, for there are only two native doctors to cover an area of 41,000 square miles populated by 500,000 natives. "In all the" Philippines there are only four white doctors. Besides the dis pensary we have a school for boys and girls. We have no place of worship and we do so need It, for nearly 1000 have been baptized and 550 have been confirmed- We can build a church for $5000 and I have already secured part of the fund. It costs $50 a year to care for and educate a child and 1 am hoping to secure some ' scholar ships while I am here. our station In St. James mission, founded by Mrs. Warren In metnory of her husband. Rev. Dr. Walpole Warren, for many years rector of St. James church, New York city. TRIAL MARRIAGES .."Every Jgorrote woman must have children, this is me reason for the trial marriage. The trial marriages are made betweeji the ages of 11 and 12 years. As soon as a girl proves that she is capable of bearing children the marriage takes place, the Ceremo ny consisting of the killing of a pig or other animal and dancing. Separa tion of married .couples is unknown. Jn Case" of'illness a fowl or animal is killed to- propitiate the evil spirits whoiare thought to have taken pos session or tne body. In case of death something is again killed and offered up as a sacrifice. The dead body is I i : ll' I ' ' V1! n.ririi -1 i - jii'" ni ""V '"' T "0,'";" C "Thats my idea of a Real Suit" .

Miss Hargreaves will be in Portland until September 23, and she will be glad to speak and show lantern slides of the Igorotes before any group of people who are interested. She may be reached by addressing The Audito rium. The deaconess work is one of the most interesting and worth while phases of activity in - the Episcopal church. In an effort to learn some thing of the varied lines of work, a questionnaire was recently sent ouc to the deaconesses.

The standard of training is high ; 22 are college graduates ; 12 more have had a partial college course ; 12 ar graduates of normal schools, and 30 have had vocational training. While many deaconesses do parish work, numbers of them are found in a va riety of activities and fields, from New York slums to remote country places, in a Mexican school, in Japan, China and the Philippines. If this varied work were better known some young women who have no desire to do gen eral parish work might seriously con sider becoming deaconesses. A few deaconesses are. and others have been, in charge of hospitals ; among these are Deaconesses Massey of St. Lukes hospital, Manila, and Deaconess Knox of St. Lukes hospital, Bellingham, Wash.

New York, in addition to the supervision of the day nursery has for years worked among the Italians with great sympa thy, understanding and success. Other deaconesses are engaged in educational work. Several are in charge . of train ing schools for church workers both at home and abroad. For many years Deaconess Goodwin visited schools and colleges as student secretary, of the board of missions, and is now teaching in the Sacred Studies department of the National Cathedral school.

Suffragan Bishops Likely to Lose Out In Ballot Proposal What may prove to be the death knell to votes for suf fragan. bishops in the house of bishops during the present session of the Episcopal General Con vention, is seen in the recall of the re quest to the house of deputies for a committee on conferencef'The recall was made and granted Tuesday afternoon. Parliamentarians in both houses are now badly divided as to the exact legal status cf the matter. Some hold that it cannot be legally brought up again at this convention, while others hold that it can If properly introduced. Several days ago the house of bish ops voted down the proposal, but sev eral days later voted to reconsider its action, and at that time granted the franchise. In the meantime the house of deputies tabled the mattr; indefi nitely, thus . nullifying the ' action of the bishops. To save itself embar rassment over violation of church par liamentary law, the bishops withdrew the request to the deputies asking them to concur and grant the suffragans a vote. Delegates From All States Show ' At Guild Session Representatives from every state in the Union attended the meeting of St. Barnabas Guild at the Unitarian church. Tuesday afternoon.

Sargent of Grand Rapids and Dean Francis S. White were among the speakers. , ' DEPUTIES VOTE TO HAVE 'TE DEW : in three: PARTS After an hour's debate Tuesday aft ernoon . the house of deputies of the Episcopal General Convention voted in favor f breaking the "Te Deum" Into three parts and making 4t optional whether all of it should be sung at any one service.' The discussion was quite heated at times. Most of the argu ment, however, centered, around theo logical points. Canon 25, which relates to the vest ments of lay readers, was amended so as clearly to state, "When officiating, unless the bishop otherwise directs, he may wear a cassock and a surplice, but no other vestment. Another resolution in relation to the ministry of healing and creating a joint commission of six bishops and nine presbyters, after some amend ment, was placed on the calendar for later discussion.
