Another yea- has passed IN the history
tinues to INCREASE as the years roll on. on.
From our statistical report We ma thas
we have cared for more charity casss
this year than the previous tfad an; no
which hospital treatment would pc Oh any
benefit.
It is a great pleasure to look back I.
the time when the hospital was hFst
opened and see the number OF patients
that have been treated free of all ez-
pense and to hear the kind expressions
of gratitude rom thos9 VINO nave re-
ceived this treatment.
I hope LIS goou work VIII continue
to go on as long as our doors arc
open. Our receipts are larger THAN ma eve, ever
before and expenses greater. We have
reduced the debt on the building TO $l4"t
How grateful we would be If some Kind
friends would pay this debt, or give US
an endowment sufficient to pay the e1-
pense of taking care of our charity
work I hope the day Is not far distant
when this will be done. In the near
lance service that will assist US in many
ways. We are living in an age in which
we must keep going ahead: We cannot
stand still. foc if we do. our usefulness
will lessen.
Our Heavenly Father has blessed our
work. and as long as We take care OF
his suffering poor. he viii continue 70
of employees have been faithful in tina
discharge of their duties. l cannot close
my report without thanking one and al.
ever since this work was first started.
With wishes for the continued success
OF our institution. remain.
