The subject of hospital Sunday contribu-
tons was presented, discussed, and acted
upon at the convention of Congregational
clergymen and laymen held in this city.
Recognizing the fact that the establishment
of hospitals for the relief of suffering human
ity was one of the earliest and noblest fruits
of Christian culture, they believed that they
were justly entitled to the sympathy and aid of
the Christian church; and it was unanimously
voted that one Sunday be annually conse-
Grated to this benehcent purpose, and contri-
buttons solicited in all their churches for the
benefit of the Maine General Hospital. And
we respectfully suggest that their example in
this respect is worthy of imitation by all the
religious denominations in our commonwealth.
Annual contributions of three dollars from
each of the eight hundred church organza-
tons in the State, would put into our treasury
two thousand four hundred dollars, and this
amount if so obtained, would be sacredly ap-
propriated in furnishing free beds for the poor
We have received one hundred and forty
six patients either wholly or in part on the
free list during the year. and the number could
have been doubled if we had had the requisite
means for their support. They belong to the
working classes,-by which we mean working
men and women who are dependent upon the
conditions of health and bodily strength for
their daily bread, ana recognized IN every
community as proper subjects for hospital
treatment and care,-and it is in behalf of
this large and constantly increasing class of
beneficiaries that hospital Sunday contribu-
tions are solicited.
Since our last meeting a bequest of two
thousand dollars to the free bed fund has been
received from the estate of Mrs. Mary Harri-
son Flagg, late of Hallowell in this State.
through her executor, w. w. Vaughan of
Boston. Also bequest of five thousand dol
