PRESBYTERIANS OF GEORGIA
Planning to Establish a Great
Hospital in Atlanta Under
Control of Church
The following address to the
Presbyterians of Georgia by a
committee of the board of trustees
of the Presbyterian Hospital of
Atlanta, known as the Re-Organ
iaation committee, indicates that
this great denomination is very
much interested in this great
Christian enterprise.
This Reorganization committee
is composed entirely of laymen,
but the burden of this work has
been carried for many years al
most entirely minister. As will
be seen by reading the address,
laymen and clergymen are now
making a strong united pull to
make the hospital one of the grea
oat Christian hospitals of the com
try.
This address should interest not
only Presbyterians, but all regard
less of denomination, who appre
ciate the good to be done by a
great Christian hospital.
To the Presbyterians of Georgia.
The last meeting of the Synod
of Georgia recommended that the
second Sunday in February be
set aside by the churches of the
Synod as a day on which the
cause of the Presbyterian Hospit
al of Atlanta should be present
ed to the various congregations
of this Synod and a collection
taken for the support of the Hos
pital. The Board of Trustees has
appointed the undersigned Com
mittee of laymen members of the
Board, to present this matter to
ft May Be SPnc-'i
. . j

Then fever, with great prostration i V .. . d

the churches of the Synod, and in.
a few days each Church will re-1
ceive a package of folders, show- |
ing in detail the present stat-'
us of the hospital and the plans;
for re-organization. This pub
lic address is for the purpose of
letting the Presbyterian public'
generally know of this movement
that each individual may be mak
ing preparation for helping the
cause on February 14th, as much'
as possible.
Some mistakes have doubtless
been made in the management of
this hospital in tlu* past, but a
careful examination into the rec-'
ord of the institution discloses the
fact that a jjoble work has been
done during the seven years of
its history. While it has not been
connected organically with the
Presbyterian church, it has been
under distinct Presbyterian con
trol, and the work it has done has
been accomplished with very lit
tle financial support from indi
vidual Presbyterians. The insti
tution has been far from local in
its influence. 72 patients come
from South Carolina. 59 from Flo
ida, 70 from Alabama. 14 from
Virginia, 14 from Tennessee, 11
from Louisiana, 9 from Missis
sissippi, while Texas, Kentucky
Ohio, lllniois, New \ork, New
.Jersey, Deleware, Massachusetts.
West Vrgiinia, and many other
states have been represented in
the list of patients. The Catho
lic spirit of the institution has
been striking. The Presbyterians
have furnished 593 patients, the
Baptist 383. the Methodist 494.
Episcopalians 101. the Catholics
50, Lutherans 23, the Jews 13.
and many patients have come
from the Christian, the Greek,
the Universalists, the Congrega
lionalists, the Dutch Reform, and
Mormon Churches, while more
than 1,000 patients have regis
tered no church at all.
The money cost of the charity
work done by the hospital dar
ling this time was approximately
$33,000 to say nothing of the val
ue of the services of the nurses
I of the Training school, and of the
doctors of the Medical Staff,
whose services have been given
i freely and without cost.
At present there are registered
in the Nurses Training School
about 22 yonug women in train
ing as nurses, and the Medical
Staff is composed of 22 doctors
'of highest standing in the med
ical profession in the city of At
lanta.
The principal mistake made by
the institution in the past has bee
that of not having some organic
connection with the Presbyterian
Church. This mistake the Com
mittee on Re-Organization is try
ing to remedy by adopting a plan
of reorganization, the essential,
details of which plan are as fol
lows: That the present charter
b so amended as to have all the
trustees elected by the various
presbyteries of the Synod of Geoi
gia, all trustees to be laymen,
an executive committee to have
charge in the interim between tin
quarterly meetings of the board
of trustees, the executive commit
tee to elect a superintendent, to
take charge of the Hospital, and
aet as field agent for the institu
tion: the medical staff to be elect
ed by the trustees, an advisory
\ committee of active ministers
I elected in the sam< way as the
trustees to see the religious life
of the Hospital; the various or
ganizations of ladies to be af
filiated by being given the right
to inspect the hospital through
I its officers, subject to authority
,of the superintendent; annual re
ports to be made, to the various
I presbyteries and to the Synod.
This plan for re-organization
; can not be put into operation un-
til the Presbyteries and the Syn- :
od of Georgia have adopted it.
But this committee feels very con
fident that these bodies of Pres
byterian will not refuse
to adopt as their own this Insti
tution which has done such a
splendid work in the past, and
can be equipped for such splend
id work in the future.
The forward movement now
planned for the hospital includes
the co-operation of the Presbyte
rians of the Synod of Georgia
in an effort to build in Atlanta
jan institution that will rank ;
among the very best of its kind
in all the South. The Methodists,
the Baptists, the Catholics, and
the Hebrews are maintaining in
the State of Georgia today hos- <
pitals, orphanages, and education
al institutions which are far-reach ;
ing in their influences for good ,:
The Presbyterians are doing i
practically nothing in compari
son, and the building up of this
hospital, this committee believes
present to our denomination such
an opportunity as it has not had i
in this slate for a long time.
By the will of the late Mrs. :
Alary J. Rueker, the hospital has (
a legacy of $5,000. Junior Aid
Society" of Atlanta has $2,000 in
bank to be used for a building. ■
Subscriptions previously made fol j
the erection of a building to the I;
amount of about $15,000 are be
lieved to be available for our |
present plans, but we consider ■
that the chief asset of the insti- I
tution for the future is the rec-! i
ognition that has been given it
by the Synod of Georgia, and we ,
appeal with confidence to the
Presbyterians of the state to rail.'
to the recommendation of the last •
Synod, and contribute lib. rally ,
of their means to the maintenanc< ,
of the hospital for the year of;
1909. At least $15,000 should be
raised to pay off the present in
debtedness and maintain the hos
pital for the current year, in or
der that the Board of Trustees
may be free to prosecute tht
plans for the future, without any
embarrassment as to the means
for the present support of the in-
stitution.
This committee takes special
pleasure in informing the Presby
terians of the state that the
Rev. S. R. Preston, of Bristol,
Va., has after most careful con
sideration accepted the call of the
board of trustees to the Superin
tepdency of the hospital. Dr.
Preston is a man of wide expe
rience and marked success in all
of his undertakings, and after
consideration of the plans for re
organization has decided to cast
his lot with us in making this in
stitution what we hope to make
it. He is already in charge of
the hospital and for the next few
months will be busy presenting
this cause to the people through
out the state, and we take this
means of commending him to our
people in every section of the
state.
The principal work of Dr. Pres
ton for the next few months will
be the canvassing of the state in
Ihe effort to raise $100,000.00
for the erection and equipment ot
a model building which will com
pare favorably with similar in
stitutions in any part of the
country.
If any Presbyterian desiring
to help the Institution should not
be present at his or her ( hurch
on the second Sunday in Febru
ary, we trust that you will for
ward your subscription direct to
the Presbyterian Hospital of At
lanta at your earliest convenience
We are asking not only for cash
subscriptions, but for pledges of
payments to be made at conven
ience of each person, .hiring the
year, for the support of the hos
pital.
Trusting that Presbyterians ev
erywhere will respond to tins
call to the extent of their abili
ty, we are,
Fraternally,
