ened by one agent or another.
Do you know, that, despite the fol-
bles and the emptiness, we are all.
after all, bound together by the great
law of humanity?
1t merely amounts to how selfish or
how unselfish we may be as to just
how willing We may be to demon
strate this characteristic-but the i'm.
pulse is there just the same.
Humanity's cause is great broad
cause, too, which awakens sympathy
and interest in the hearts Of the hard,
ened and Of the only carelessly sinful
-humanity's cause, which will unlock
the flood gates of the soul Of even the
murderer, when the name OF his good
mother trembles on his lips, or the
despair of his family is brought be-
fore him.
Humanity's cause strikes deep into
the hearts OF all Of us-for We are
only human.
Pensacola's greatest and most in
sistent call for the right and for the
humane treatment Of certain of Gods
unfortunate at the present time is
the new Charity hospital, which, in
its struggling persistency. is even
now a monument to the endeavor, and
to the Christ thoughts Of the fine
gold Of Pensacola's woman-kind.
The Charity hospital the world
over, is humanity's greatest and
strongest agent for good.
Pensacola has reached stage IN
her development when such hospl-
tai is naked necessity.
The best people of the city are per-
ceiving that very need, and are plan.
ming to meet it like true men and
women-in humanity's cause!
What a Charity Hospital Means.
wonder if there are great many
people In Pensacola who really know
what it means to be sick and alone
and pour In city of strangers.
To have high priced medical as
sistance, oh. very much on the alert,
with the result that your high priced
calls count up and up, until you face
the proposition Of spending fair
life time in settling accounts, once
you totter out to the welcoming world
again, with its sympathy at your re-
turn!
l. I wonder il a great many people of
Pensacola know the tragic thought OF
it, when, in your helplessness, you
feel the very fangs OF disease gnaw'
ing,- tearing insistently at you with
no hope of the home-haven of a hos
pital because you cannot afford 1t,
nor no hope Of particularly insistent
medical treatment, because, too, you
are not able, again, to secure it.
believe that trouble is visited
upon some of us for the good Of all
of us; and that the really sympathetic
and charitable people are the people
who have had certain God given ex-
periences.
Do YOU know what they do at Pen
sacola's new Charity hospital?
Do you know?
They have their city patients, OF
course, cared for at the expense of
the city.
They have their patients who may
be just able to pay few paltry dol
lars for what is often a stay of In
definite 1ength-but the doors of the
Charity hospital have never swung
closed on a single penniless man or
woman, who has sought the boon OF
a quiet place, even as a wounded
animal seeks to sesrete himself q
place from the VSrld apart to be
given last lingering chance in hu.
manity's cause, e place in which
to die!
There has been splendid work done
here by .Pensacola's foremost women,
noteworthy among whom is Mrs. T.
" Kessler.
Some of Pensacola's best known and
largest hearted physicians have iden.
titled themselves in this great cause
for humanity's sake, and have shown
what calibre of man are they.
Certain persons have become inter
ested and have subscribed, it is true
toward the maintenance of the hos
pital, but more concerted action Is
necessary upon what is known as the
large hearted public Of Pensacola.
The hospital doesn't interfere one
iota with any other public philan
thropic work.
It supplies need of it's own-a cry
ing need, which is the call Of the
most unfortunate of all Gods hopeless
creatures.
