the Sisters of Charity and to the Spirit of the City
(Special to ’The Bulletin)
Jacksonville. Fla. In a campaign
pc, hups unparalleled in the history

given toward the project. Accord
ing to tile Florida Tiines-Uiiioii. “it
is doubtful if even in the war times
such a generous response was made
by tlie business elements of the
community u s to insure the magnifi
cent addition to Hie hospital facili
ties of Jacksonville." The ho.spitui
wilt cost considerably more that the
$250,009 asked, the Sisters of Chari
ty providing tlie rest.
There was no hurry about tlie
campaign. No pressure was brought
to hear on anyone The'work that
the Sisters of Charity have been do
ing in JaeksojiVllle for these many
years and the need there exists for
greater work of Hie kind was pre
sented quietly and conservatively to
people of means by a committee of
citizens. The response from Jews,
Protestants and Catholics was gen
erous and cheerful. The quarter of
a million of dollars was subscribed
by approximately 225' persons. The
result is a tribute both to the won
derful work of tlie Sisters of Chari
ty and tlie generosity of the people
of Jacksonville.
A young business, man playing a
large part in the development of
Florida gave $15.00. Members of one
generous familv made gifts totaling
$22,000. Col. Will. K. Kay set the
pace with a $10,000 contribution. The
directors of the Barnett National
Bank voted an appropijat > n of $10,-
000. Tlie Florida Timcs-Cnion sub
scribed $2,000 and the Jacksonville
Journal $1,000. Joseph H. Walsh, an
unnamed worker and his wife, and
J. T. McCarthy gave ,$5,000 cacti. Mr.
and Mrs. IS. C. Dorsey Sit,000 with
u promise of more if it "were need
ed. and Mr. and Mrs. John A. Cun
ningham $2,500. Bishop Hurry, who
is deeply interested in Hie hospital,
gave $2,000 as did Mrs. Caleb E.
Johnson of Orange Park, George At
Powell, Mr. and Mrs. (). P. Wood
cock, Arthur T. Williams, Alston
Cockrell. Neil Tyler, George Mason
and Telfair Stockton. Among lilt
$1,500 contributors were J. S. Foley;
Louis Z. Baya Guy Marvin and John
J. Abeam.' Numerous other linns
and individuals subscribed oilier
amounts, many of the $1,000 ot
more.
Dr. Mark B. Herlong. health com
missioner of Jacksonville, declares
that when the Sisters of Charity
abandon their present hospital for
the new one he will recommend its
purchase to he operated by the’ city
commission and feels that liis rec
ommendation will he adopted.
“There were few workers in the
campaign,” said one of those con
nected with it, “but they were unu
sual men and women, tlie brightest
and best in Jacksonville. As gener
ous folks gave, they would interest
others in giving. Men and women
of practically every creed in Jack
sonville gave to the fund. The suc
cess obtained shows the religious tol
erance and real religious spirit of
tlie people of Jacksonville.

Savannah, Ga. —- “Tlie Upper
Room," a drama of our Lord s pas
sion written by Father Robert Hugh
Benson, was presented at Benedic
tine Armory Tuesday of Holy'Week
to an audience that crowded that
spacious auditorium, and its produc
tion marked the beginning of a new
epoch in the history of amateur
dramatics in Savannah. Seldom if
ever has anything as impressive
been produced by Georgians.
The lirst act showed the upper
room after tlie last supper when the
fact of ttic betrayal is announced,
the cries of the mob reaching tile,
room from the mob in tlie streets.
Tlie next scene was the same room
the following morning where the
story of the'momentous happenings
of the night before are recalled; Ju
das enters and gives way to dispair,
and the scene ends with the reveal
ing by a flash of lightning of tlie
cross on Calvary’s heights. The Iasi
act showed the Blessed Virgin, St.
John, St. Peter, Joseph' of Arima-
thea and others gathered together
after the crucifixion, the three cross
es on Calvary blending into a great
cross appearing in tlie. heavens as
they wait, casting a holy light upon
the little group.

drama was presented was indicated
by tlie hushed silence with which it
was recelived. The lighting effects,
were wonderful, the eostuincs and
scenery amazingly realistic and the
skill and sympathy with which the
parts were played remarkable. The
effect was heightened by the choris
ters who sang between the scenes of
the story, the Misses Elizabeth Le-
aey, Alice Price, Kathleen AIcAlpin,
Alary Hohenstein and Joseph Persse,
