INSPIRATION OF The HOSPITAL
A Sort of Cooperative Enterprise,
With Saving Lives
Its Object


The present campaign to build and
equip modern hospital in Lady
smith is not the inspiration Of a mo-
ment or of one mind, but the aspira-
tion of years and of many minds. 1t
is not only a vision of charity, but a
supreme desire for expansion in So
cial service by practical men and
women. 1t is to be Catholic in name.
In practice it will know no church
or creed. Human suffering is to be
the only requirement of admission.
After all, the hospital is just sort
of cooperative enterprise which
makes housekeeping for the sick
easier and the best modern methods
more easily obtained, where it can
be- said that poor man sick in such
a hospital reinforced by trained nurs-
ing such as here is contemplated
would have a better show for his life
than the rich man in his home even
though he be surrounded with the
comforts and luxuries of life
To continue to accept the present
remote hospital without
even present emergency facilities
as good enough with all it's added
hazard and expense of time and dis
tance would be a confession of
barbaric Indifference on the part of
this community. This is the voice
and appeal of a rising and stand
ing insurrection against the pres
ent slack and perilous condition, and
call to help make the future all
that the past was not.
The story of the birth and evolu-
tion of the hospital is record of
the conquest of barbarism by civil
liZation and the triumph of Christ
Jan altruism over the selfishness of
the pagan ideal. Something more
than mere civilization was necessary
The Greeks had civilization but no
hospitals. They had more science
than the Goths had in medieval
times, but the Goths had hospitals.
The hospital originally owes nothing
to war or science. 1t is wholly a
christian product Historical proof
is abundant that this institution was
literally encouraged by the church
of a Savior who at His nativity was
Graded on the straw pallet of des-
titution. The eighteenth century
pest house must have killed more
people than it cured, which in itself
a great menace, became the surest
foundation for the scientific study
and asceptic cleanliness which are
the hospitals greatest contributions
to society. 1t was the nurse of med
ical practice and not it's offspring.
The order of the Mantellate Sis
ters, of the Servants of Mary, al
most coeval with the first setting
apart of room in the Bishops house,
called the hospitalium, for the sick
and poor in the early medieval times,
has carried on It's work for over
six hundred years. They are a
trained body of devoted women who
are intent upon doing the graet
est good to the greatest number
They minister to patients without
distinction as to creed, nationality,
sex, condition or race. The rich have
no preference over the poor. The
only rule is, first come first serv
ed" Non-Catholic patients may have
the attendance of their own clergy
men who will never find an obstacle
placed in their way by the Sisters.
A dying person is never left to die
alone but is attended to the last mo-
