He says that it would be a mistake
to erect one large hospital because it
would necessitate that the brothers in

cessfully in one part of the country as
in another, and thereby avoid the dis

homesickness and loneliness, to me is
of such very deep and greater import
ance that the effort to establish a
great central institution should be
abandoned. and the work taken up
along the lines of local institutions,
either by the Pythian lodges or where
that is not considered desirable, then
by aiding other movements that are
inaugurated TO establish institutions
