privilege of helping our sick and
suffering citizens by donations to
our City Hospital.
As a patient in the hospital for
three weeks last spring and as a min
ister who visits this hospital several
times each week calling upon the
sick who are treated there. I cannot
commend too highly nor urge too
strongly its most generous support.
The treatment given our sick and
needy friends by Dr. Blnion. Dr.
Scott, Dr. Woods and the other fine
physicians of our county, directly
and indirectly connected with the
hospital, is surely a source of deep
est gratitude to us all. It is a veri
table House of Mercy. Men. women
and children are given the be 1 1 medi
cal attention possible, a large num
ber of whom are unable to pay any
part of their expenses at all. There
are hundreds of people in the dty
and county who would otherwise
have died or remained helpless in
valids, who have been returned to
life and health and productive work
through the treatment of skilled sur
geons, the modem scientific equip-
ceived in our Citv Hospital.
The expense of this charitable hos
pitalization has. in the past, been
borne largely by the owners of the
hospital and borne with a cheerful
ness and generosity which I have
never seen surpassed. The people of
our city and county are glad to share
in this work of mercy. Last October
the responce on the part of the peo
ple was wonderful and we are confi
dent that the donations on October
4th, by the good people of our city
and county will be much larger still.
There are some things in which we
all naturally differ, so many men,
so many minds, but here is a task
upon which all of us can unite, the
task of ministering to a sick and
suffering humanity, through the
healing touch of our City Hospital.
In so doing we will encourage and
help to sustain a great work, we
will enrich our own lives spiritually,
and above all we will win the ap
proval of our Master and Phy
sician who said, ’’Inasmuch as ye
have done it unto one of the least of
these, ye have done it unto me.”
