As the Church grew, the duties of all of the clergy were changed, expanded, modified. The assistance required of the Deacons was not always of the same description but the office itself continued constant in the official ministry of the Church.

But the things to be supplied by the Quartermaster today are far differ ent from what they were a century ago. Yet he still serves the same function and qualifies for the same title. A gardener is still a gardener whether he raises pansies or seventeen varieties of orchids. The duties of Deacons have varied according to the needs of the Church.
