Louise Pomeroy as Kcsalmd can have
but few equals, and scarcely a superior,
on the sure. h.ie in the character
proper she is fine, it it while she is mas
nueradicg ia tbe forest of Ardennes, in
tbe character cf Ganymede, that her his
triooic ability is brought out in its fullest
relief. Tbe scene with Orlando in the
forest it a perfect chef d'oeuvre of excel
lent acting, only 'rivaled by that other
scene where the brother of (Orlando
comes upon tbe scene. Her acting is ex
quitite. Mr. W. U. Leake, ua Jaques,
u grand. With a manificeut voice, a
perfect articulation, an absolutely cor
rect reading, and an admirable concept
tion of the character, Mr. Leake has
made himself Jaques, as Miss Pomeroy
URjealind. TbeJOrUndo of the p'ay,

Spencer, as Celia, . sJso deserves9 great
praise. Is short, tbe entire support is

Da
The ProtetUnt Sisterhood In Wll
ralnston-A Candidate Admlited to
the Order,
There wu an interestiLg service atSt.
James Church yesterday the more" in
terestiog, perhaps, beeauae novel the ad
mission of a lady into the Protestant Sis
terhood of the Good bhepberd. The
great efficiency of tbia sort of agency it
the Roman Catholic Communion has long
boen e?iJent even to Protestant', who.
while opposed to the religious system of
Roman Catholics in other respects have
been wont to make a large amount of ex
ception in favor of this part of it. It has
been said that the sincerest form of praise
is imitation. Of late years various Pro-
tastant bodies have given this testimony
to the value of tho Rpman Catholic Sis-
ter hoods.
Not only in Episcopal Eog
land, but in Lutheran Garmany, and else
where, there have been, for new many
years, organizations of a like sort and as
has been thought greatly to the advantage
of those who have adopted them. They
have argued. 'If others have an army, tia
is no reason why we should not have one
too, but.1 on the contrarv. all the more
reason wny we should nave one. u in
l 1 mm V
their army a certain arm of tbe service
a peculiar organization haslbeen found
ejpecially efiective, why should we not
hive for ourselves a similar advantage?
And besides, this idea of associated work
by bodies, separated for the purpose, "is a
pari ot our common heritage.' And so tne
I SlKfrhrwu? nrinalnla das omo fn vrafU
- ..-w..w u w w
od upon the work of the Protestant
Church in this country, as well as in
u , c yolj unfamiliar
maj 5, to Ufj u haa f or year8 besa
as it
well
known in other Dioceses of the Episcopal
Church in the United States; in the South
w n norm. .
But the event of yesterday was the first
of the kind just here. The services,con
ducted by the venerable head of the
Diocese, Bishop Atkinson, was in itself
. . . . -
""'lwo"i,w "uv
upon, and listened to, with a deep iater
est by the congregation.
I After a very interesting sermon by the
Bishop, settine forth the history of Sis-
terhoods, and the principles upon which
w ef
tnose among ITotestanU have been con
ducted, the -candidate, who had pre-
Tiousiy Deen requirea to pass tnrougn a
pronation oi eignteen montns, was pre-
I sented to the B'hop; seated in his chair
withi tfa chancei by the Presiding
gilter of tho Qrd who htd frQm

I
tty eanonxcally tecogoized in the Bishop I
of each Diocese, 'to et forth forms of
Prayer, &c. for extradinary occasions."
mm
After an address to tje congregation on
the objects of the Sisterhood, tbe Bishop, I
turning to the candidate, urged upon her

We hope that the Bishop s sermon may I
appear in print. Many of those wbe !
heard it, and many who did not, would
be glad to have the opportunity to read
it.
It wculd be a mistake to infer from
what we have said that this is the begin
ning of Protestant Sisterhood work in
Wilmington. For two years such or
. . . ...
efficiently, and most acceptably to those I
v v c. . a a I
for wh se benefit it is chiefly intended
ia connection with the mission work ofl
St. James Parish, having its headauar- I
ters at St. James' Home on Orange street,
- ... , , .
Irom this centre, an organized work
of great value has been carried on for
same years, among the poor and the sufif
ering. A tree scaool lor wnites, at pres
ent numbering about CO children, has
been maintained there, latterly under the
charge of the Sistercood of the Good
Shepherd. Regular family and neigh
borhood gatherings for instruction and
devotion have been kept up. In son?.
cases, the destitute tick .have been takei
into the bouse and nurse 1. Psntinent
women have found there a respite from
temptation, and a quiet home, where
they cculd collect theosevjes, and make a
fresh start for virtue and happiness. The
Restitute, aged and orphan have from
time to time found an asylum.
In many ways, much baa been accom-
phiahed. Why not, good people, give
this institution a helping hand?
It has done large good already, and, if,
R
sv
you will enable it, can do nruch more.
B. sides all that has been urged in its
favor, let this be added, viz: thit by the
principles it is seeking to instill it is an
important contributor to the peace and
good order of society. The well-known
proverb might be enlarged and it might
be well to remember that not curses only
but blessiugs also 'like cbckens come
home to roost."
