I £ S' S Broad Street-Fourth Avenue, Rome, Georgia g 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 “A hard chill, pain through the Then fever, with great prostration i V .. . d be your experience, send tor youi thev. t iy have pneumonia!

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.
