DEACONNESSES

(Our Banner, Vol 15 no. 1 January 1888, Page 29 and RP&C, Vol 26 no. 1, Page 25)

"The McKeesport congregation recently at an election for elders and deacons, elected to the latter a lady, Miss McConnell. The question is referred to Synod for its decision. At the December meeting of ihe North Cedar L. M. S., the following resolution was adopted:

We, as the Ladies' Missionary Society of North Cedar R. P. congregation, send congratulations to Miss McConnell on her election to the office of Deaconness by the McKeesport congregation, urging her conscientious acceptance and faithful performance of the duties of that office; while we hope that the Synod of the R, P. Church will lay no obstacles in her way, and pray that the glories of the millennial morning may be withheld from us all until our Church can glory in her Deborahs, Huldahs, Annas, and Phoebes as her Deacons.

By order of the Society"
