The treasurer's report, which was not read In
detail, gave $497 in treasury.
Dr. Muhlcnberg then gave an interesting account
OF his visits to the various hospitals In Europe
and their mode Of administration and treat
ment as compared with ours. There are in Lon
don, he said, 100 Of these institutions many
OF them very old and richly endowed. He
thought the Americans were In advance of the
mother country In one respect a least-in the
variety OF food given patients in hospitals. No one
that he visited had more home-like aspect than
ST. Luke's-a thing which goes lar in good effect
upon the patient
The assistant pastor, Rev. w. W. Sever, then re-
ported on the religious condition Of the patients
during the year. All denominations had been ad.
mitted, Africans as well as others all the trades
and nearly all the professions had been repre-
sented, and several examples OF the good
effects OF the religious teachings were
mentioned. Short speeches were then made
by Bishop VAIL of Kansas; Bishop Clarkson,
or Omaha; Nicely Of Maine, and Potter, OF New
York. all laudatory the institution and intoxicating
the principles OF charity and benevOence. They
urged upon the congregation the Importance OF
contributing towards the endowment OF the insti-
tuition as one OF the best ways OF maniiesting true
Christian charity Bishop Ciarkson, in his re-
marks, referred to an epitaph found In q certain
remote graveyard as foll0ws:-
What squandered for self I wasted
What saved lost;
What gave away have,
and urged his hearers to draw a lesson from IL. A
collection for the benefit OF the Hospital was
taken up, and the meeting closed with the d0x-
oogy and benediction.

The annual report was then read by DR.. Mullen

general in its character, and referred to the
other reports for more detailed information. He
accounted for the large mortality ny the fact that
SO many patients were brought to them in the last

could be easily paid. During the year three persons
had paid 5000 each for endowing as many beds.
John Jacob Astor had endowed two beds at $4,000
each. William b. Astor had given $4,000 as a nu-

to increase until the institution should thereby re-
ceive an income sufficient for Its maintenance.
