TOWNS GOAL
CITIZENS IN MASS MEETING
PROPOSE To RAISE sso.ooo
IN CAMPAIGN.
ENTHUSIASM HIGH
Belief Is Expressed That Funds VIII
lie Subscribed Without Delay
and Sanitarium Capacity
Increased.

Committees from the various or
CARNATIONS of the city met with the
board of directors of the Waxaha-
chic sanitarium ON the root garden
at Hotel Rogers last mgnt 10 discuss
ways and e of providing a new
and modern sanitarium building.
Ever since the sanitarium was
taken over by the people some TWEEN
~ months ago ii has been evident
that larger quarters must be provid-
ed to permit the institution to serve
its purpose, but the puzzling prob
lem has been how to provide such
a building. There seems to be but
the me way and that is to dig down
into our pockets and put mp the
money. 1t would seem like crimi-
nal neglect to permit an institution
that is doing as much good for the
community as the local hospital to
so by default, therefore no surprise
lie occasioned by the announcement
that the board of directors and
committeeman assembled last night
decided to raise funds for the cree
ton of a modern fire proof building
and to equip same throughout.
Yes, the board and committeeman
said they would build a new sani-
tarium and build it now. A COM
mittee will be named by the board
to outline the campaign that will be
waged in the interest of a new sani-
tarium and humanity. 1t was de-
cided last night to raise $4,000 for
a hospital fund and use 100000 for
the building and equipment and let
the remaining $4,000 go as an en-
dowment to the institution. If the
present board of directors could
live always and would agree to
give their time to the management
of the institution there would be
little need for an endowment, but
to make sure of permanent opera
ton 1t is believed wise to create an
endowment fund.
One of the most inspiring talks of
the evening was made by Pat Sims,
who gave a detailed report of the
operation OF the sanitarium since it
was taken over by the people. He
showed something like 400 patients
cared for during that time and fur
Their that it was little better than
self sustaining. The report showed

there we're eighteen patients Ia
the sanitarium Monday Of this week.
Some idea OF the crowded condition
may be obtained when Il is stated
that there are only ten rooms TO the
present building including the kiteh-
en-. dining room. hall and possible
closets Yet the superintendent
rather than turn a patient away has
crowded eighteen people into that
Institution. The report further
showed cash on hand amounting to
more than Sl.5oo, which the board
hopes 20 contribute TO n new build
ms.
Site u Donated.
IL was stated that a very valua-
HE site for the new sanitarium has
been donated at the corner OF Jeffer-
son and Monroe streets, which may
&c sold and the proceeds used in
purchasing n more desirable site II
the board sees fit TO do so. This
property, il Is understood. while nc
names we're mentioned. is worth be
tween $4,000 and $4,000 and would
provide a very comfortable site il
sold and the proceeds used for the
purchase of a desirable place.
But the site for such an institution
is not a matter of so much concern
as n matter of raising the funds
needed to build a modern fire proof
structure. There are numerous
sites. any of which would be good
enough, but the idea is to get with
in reach of the street a line and
near the paved streets.
Committee VIII BE Named.
A committee of five will be named
ty the board of directors to aid in
planning the campaign that will be
waged here during the next few
weeks to raise the Nodded funds for
the new sanitarium. In selecting
this committee effort will be made
tc get men who are enthusiastic on
the subject and who have an influ-
ence that is felt. Waxahachie has
seldom fallen down on her under
takings and she is not going to fall
down on this proposition Of building
a new s~anitarium. Already some
thing like $4,000 has been prom
ised by volunteer donations. Many
of our well to do people have Asigni-
fled a willingness to contribute lib
orally when the proper time rolls
around, and there Is little doubt but
that the money may be raised with
which TO build the new building.
Enthusiasm Manifested.
There were probably seventy-five
PEOPLE present at the meeting last
night and there was much enthu-
siasm manifested. These same peo-
PIE have promised their services in
yutting the proposition over and It
will be done. 1t was even inspiring
to sit and listen to the plans and
doubly SO to listen to the report of
what has been accomplished under
difficulties. The board asks each
and every citizen to lend a helping
Land in the important work of
building a sanitarium.

several noted divines OF that great
city who came out to the house and
offered their services IN eulOgizing
the departed brother of the cloth.

licly and taken a bold stand for Christ
it might have changed the entire cur
rent Of Jewish life and history. So
secret discipleship today means loss
of opportunity to make your life
count effectively for Christ.
Moreover. these men lost the op-
portunity for fellowship with Christ
and for bringing comfort to the Lord
in His hour Of sorrow.
In great church there was q pas
tor who was a god-like man and one
OF the most earnest workers that T
have ever seen. The parish was in
the heart of one OF the most fashion
able sections Of the city. The people
were of the worldly kind and sought
to serve God in their own world way.
They possessed hardly a spark of
Christianity. My friend. the minister
tried 10 teach them the error OF their
way. but they said to him that il they
we're not permitted to give in their
own way--the way to which they had
been accustomed to giving-they
wouldn't give at all They tried to
starve him out. His wife was noble
little woman. Before they had been
married, she was instructress in one
Of the large colleges OF the east They
decided to stay at the church and
save that parish from the evil way
into which the people had grown or
die in the attempt The minister
would go out in the morning and
work as no man ever worked. try
ing to arouse spiritual interest among
his parishioners. but they turned a
deaf ear to him. and when he re-
turned home more than once had
found his wife with hands to her tear
stained face. These church members
were doing what is sometimes done
with a minister who doesn't mind
