NEWS NOTES
OF MISSION
A GREAT DEAL OF PREPARATORY
WORK RELATING TO THE HOS
PITAL HAS BEEN ACCOM-
PLISHED.

A great deal of preparatory work
necessary for public institutions has
been accomplished last week in the
thorough sanitary cleaning OF the
premises to be used by the Mission
for the hospital.
This has been done under the I'M
mediate supervision of superintendent
Frances Mann, ably aided by j. H.
Target and his wife, all of whom have
been engaged in hospitals, the latter
gentleman and wife coming from St
Margaret's hospital, Montgomery, Ala.
When the public fully understands
that these people volunteer their ser
vices for this noble work. grateful is
hardly the name to call such a gratu-
1toUs offering. This is along the line
of the policy of the Mission, never yet
deviated from, either gratuitous ser
vice or paid for labor when earned.
In the work of the Mission, oppor-
tunities are given for people in straight
ened circumstances to make good Tor
themselves instead of bestoWing
charity, if successful, well and good,
if not, the opportunity has been af-
forded, and the Mission can do no fur
Their. 1t cannot sustain any loss to
benefit any one.
The hospital is now in shape for the
furniture, and those who desire to do
nate a bed, will please notify at once.
A stated last week, bed in the hos
pital is estimated at $3.50 bed in the
Home at $3.50, and a child's crib II
either the hospital or Home at SIS.
These include all the necessary equip
ment with linen, etc. Each bed will
have the name of the church, society,
Sunday school or Individual upon a
plate and will be known by it.
In addition, the operating room IS
waiting for responses to the appeal
sent out to pay this expense. There
are some but not enough.
Mrs. T. V. Kessler is chairman of
the lady board of managers, and can
be referred to, or word may be sent
to the Mission and either Mrs. L. H.
Herr, the field secretary, or r. w.
Simpson, the director in charge, will
call.
All donations to the hospital or
home will be publicly acknowledged,
and a full list will be entered upon
the records of the Mission. There is
hardly anything belonging to home
but what will be acceptable, from the
laundry articles to parior furniture.
Please look up some piece that can
be done without in your home, and
send a postal card to the Mission to
send for it.
