What other virtue has ever had a more

Love. charity. kindness Tenderness are
closely allied but sympathy Is the moth

Why is love like charity; tenderness
like love? Because each has that same

or because sympathy is the silken thread

And ii sympathy is lost; If the sllken

But sympathy need not always be con-
nected with sorrow. The word Itself Is
derived from the Greek syn and pathos

we not sympathize in pleasure as welt

But as experience calls forth sympathy
II would naturally follow that those

MANCHEsTBR's SICK rom.
Her Ho spItal Association for Their
Aid.

For years Manchester slept in the
horseshoe of the James opposite the city
Of Richmond. Recently, however, many
industries have sprung into existence and
the wheel of progress. steadily revolving,
has given us increased advantages IN
various directions. In a quiet way
charity has always been dispensed by
individuals but no organized attempt has
been made for the care of our sick poor
until quite lately. Now we have hos
pital association, consisting Of some Of
Manchostcr's most earnest, thoughtful,
and energetic women, who, as soon as
feasible will equip thoroughly-modern
hospital within her borders. The first
efforts OF the association have been d.
rected to thorough organization. OFF,
GERS and committees were selected with
extreme care, It being desired to conduct
the work on a nOn-scctatrian basis. We
realize that in unity of interest lies sue
cess. All hospitals in the city of Rich
mond were asked to give us propositions
for board of patients. Prompt replies
were received from the Virginia Hospital,
Sheltering Arms, and the Retreat for
the Sick. The terms Of the Virginia Hos
pital, being the most liberal, were ac-
cepted: our association was given rep
resentation in its auxiliary board, and we
have every assurance that while we re-
main connected with this hospital our pa
tients will be guaranteed all comforts that
an efficient medical staff. and well-trained
nurses can supply. Many names have
been added to our roll, and from the
interest manifested we believe that in the
not very distant future we Will have a
hospital that will reflect credit on our
city, and on those who labor in this
charitable enterprise.
The last year has been fun OF brilliant
illustrations as 70 wOmans possibilities
in whatever work she has undertaken
We therefore feel justly confident that

nenfion.
