hospital and labored nine years to
raise the money for it's erection. A
failure of health forced her to leave
the work to her successor, DR.. Ruth

given, however, by the fact that both
DR.. Hume and Dr. Bissell are daugh.
tiers OF members of this mission, both
are graduates of Wellesley college,
and the undergraduates have furnish,
ed the support for both Miss
Madeline Campbell, a trained nurse.

of the training of native nurses.
AT 5 O'Clock the civil AMI miltar,
officers, with principal citizens,
gathered in one of the hospital wards
and listened to clear, comprehensive
address to their excellencies and staff,
In which Rev. James Smith reviewed
the work of the mission In it's educa-
tional and medical branches. To this
the governor made very happy i'm
promptu reply. -
Before Lady Harrington declared
the hospital open, Rev. II. G.. Bissel
led the whole company of Europeans
and natives, Christians and Drahmins.
in an impressive prayer. DR.. Hume
and Miss Campbell showed the operat-
ing-room and wards, capable of receiv.
Ing so patients, to Lord and Lady
Lamington and the guests. Then for
the first and last time troops of men
AMI boys filled its two stories and
went away to tell with establishment
of the great work that these $4,000
Christian and government rupees ard
two Christian women are going to do
tor Ahmednagar.
