$4,800,000 TO BE RAISED FOR HOSPITALS
A modern hospital illustrative of the tvpeof buddings Southern Taptists are
employing in the relief of human suffering.
'n their work of relieving human
physical suffering Southern Baptists
at present own and control fourteen
hospitals and there are under course
of construction and about ready to be
opened at least two more, with consid
erable progress made toward the erec
tion of others. All of these institu
tions are liberally patronised and aie
self-supporting but all of them need
to be enlarged in order to meet the
rapidly-growing demands upon them.
The demand for charity work is espe
cially urgent and :u order to enable
them to thus render a needed service
to those who are least able to help
themselves as well as to provide larger
facilities for the regular work the hos
pitals are doing the sum of $4,800,000
has been apportioned to them from the
proceeds to be raised in the Baptist
75 Million Campaign.
This work of relieving the physical
infirmities of men women and chil
dren and thus putting them on the

road to better health and larger effi
ciency and usefulness was begun with
in the bounds of the Southern Baptist
convention in 1890 when the Missouri
Baptist Sanitarium was opened ih St.
U>uis. From a very small beginning
in a residence with less than a dozen
beds, this institution has grown into
a modern institution with more than
300 beds.

include Baptist Hospital, Muskogee.

Soon after the entrance of the
United States in the war the successes
of the Central Powers in Roumania
had reduced that country to a most
tragic condition and in the summer
of 11)17, the American Red Cross des
patched its first Roumanian relief
contingent. Two hospitals were at
once taken over and operated by the
Red Cross, a canteen for the starving
refugees established and food and
clothing distributed over a large area.
Transportation was one of tire
toughest problems with which the Red
Cross workers in Roumania had to
deal. Here is seen an oxcart used
by the Rod Cross to carry its relief
supplies up into the mountains.
Where the Rich Have Best of It.
The greatest luxury of riches is that
they enable you to escape so much
good advice. The rich are always ad
vising the poor, hut the poor seldom
venture to return the compliment.—

The Secretary Bird.
The secretary bird gets its name
from the tufts of feathers which grow
on eitlier side of its head, and look
exactly like a hunch of pens stuck be
hind a clerk's **ar. The bird has long
legs and large wings, with which it can
ascend to a great height. It builds a
strong nest in n tree, and lives in It
year after year, subsisting on small
animals anil tiny snakes.
