Christmas Offering To be Taken
The annual Chi istm: o ’-ring
f r the charity woi k fun.. ,.t Wes
ley Memmial hospital will be
ken next Sunday, December . ^
in a 1 chutchss of the North unt
South Georgia Methodist confer
ence, as the work has been ap-
proved by those bodies and it wi s
Greeted that the collection be
taken. The fund is for the pur-
ru'se of helping to furnish treat
ment for the poor .who are sent
to the hospital. It is not for the
hospital!itself, ! for,[every bed
•ould be filledjwith pnyjfpatients
and the hospital could make a
profit, but in so doing would not
fulfil its'purpose. [Every care Is
caken to see.that the fund is pro-
neriy'used.
No patient has ever been deni
ed entrance when there was an
unoccupied bed in the wards un
less he hadjfsome disease that
was infectious, contagious or in.
