A MISTAKEN IDEA
Answer to Some Wrong Opinion About
the New Hospital

It is mistaken idea to think
that the new hospital is entire
ly Catholic affair. The truth
is that. the whole community
will get the benefit while some
members of the Catholic church
will have all the trouble Of the
business management a privi-
lege that nobody needs to be
jealous of. In all such institu-
tons the freedom of conscience
of any patient Protestant,
Catholic or free-thinker, is
perfectly safe. Calls OF the
patients are transmitted by the
Sisters to any authorized rep
resentative of the Protestant
churches as we'll as to the
Catholic priest. Minister and
priest meet there on equal foot
ing. AS proof of what say |
refer you to those who have
ever been treated in a Sister 8
hospital in any state of the
Union and ask them if any
encrpachment was ever made
there upon their right of con-
science. The rules. Of the
ICatholic church concerning
such institutions are the same
the world over. Any other
policy would be high treason
against humanity.
Some other people who hold
VERY tight their purse strings,
clairn that a hospital is only q
benefit to the doctors. May
ask them: is the court house
only benefit to those who
] practice law? Is a school 3
]lbenetit only to the teachers? Il
the church onlya benefitto the

victim of some frightful disease.
1t is night. The thermometer
registers 80 below zero. No
roads on the prairie for the last
blizzard is not over yet. Mem
bers of the household are look
anxiously in the direction from
which relief and succor is ex-
pected to come. Suddenly out
of the dark ness emerges a man
whose face is covered with
snow and ice. He is half
frozen and his foaming team
tells of the hardship he has en-
countered. Forgetting sell, the
family doctor approaches the
patient and tries to stop. the
work of the deadly fever. One
or two hours, later he starts
again leaving a ray of hope
where a moment before there
was only anxiety and despair.
He goes back to his home per-
haps bringing with him in
spite of the strongest antisept-
ic, the germs of the frightful
disease, and the rest of the
night instead of the soundsleep
he is entitled to he thinks, and
thinks, for the responsibility of
a human life lies now upon his
shoulder, or rather his brain.
Is that man undergoing such
worrying and such fatigues at
the risk of his life only for the
sake of money? No! For if
you could look into his desk, his
ledger would tell you that at
the end of the year the accounts
which remain unpaid are As
numerous as those which have
been paid. But that man has
a far better satisfaction than
piling money. AS the best
satisfaction of a. teacher is not
to cash his monthly warrant,
BUT to see the progress of the
young intelligences committee
to his care. AS the best
satisfaction of the preacher and
priest is to bring back to his
fold some black sheep gone
estray for years and years. SO
the best satisfaction of the
doctor is to rescue his patient
from sickness and death, and
to bring him back to health
and life. 1t is the ambition of
saving as many human lives
as they possibly can, and no
money consideration h t
prompts the doctors to favor
the building of hospitals where
they can give to their patients,
better care with less expense.

Nevertheless we have arranged

that it gives more chance to
