The preamble and resolutions
lows
Your committee, appointed to
draft resolutions upon the generous
gift Of MIR. and Mrs. Thomas w.
Swami of one acre of ground upon
which to erect a hospital, beg leave
to submit the following:
One of the chief needs of Colds
boro-as the modern city she aspires
to be-is a public hospital, commen-
surate in size, suitably constructed
and scientifically equipped to meet
the pressing demands of our city's
present population and railroad ap-
prOaches, and her assured future
growth to "Greater Goldsboro
And certainly could our public
spirited citizens-not measured by
their wealth of worldly store-from
the humblest who can give but the
widows mite to those who could
build it of themselves-make no bet
ter investment from a purely bust
ness standpoint, as an incentive to
the greater material development of
our city, increment of desirable pop
ulation, progress along all lines in
viting to intelligent industry, than
in the construction and equipment
of a modern hospital in our COM
munity; for the erection here of such
an institution, on the broad plain of
human charity, would draw to Jul
midst that class of desirable citizens
who, recognizing the common inter-
dependence of humanity, work to-
in harmony towards greater
things, thus making the people of |
whom they r a part strong and |
noble and their community pros
porous.
On the other hand, as an invest
ment that touches the Individual life
of each and every contributor, based
the promise given for those
who cast their bread upon the wa
ters, it appeals to every one alike
who believes in the common Father
hood of God and the common !
brotherhood of man; for it is given
to but few of US to walk the sinless |
way; but all may tread the path of
charity, upon which the light of
heaven beats forever and forever, |
where the heart is quoted and the
