able only to pay part, and some not
at all, and they made reference to the
pleasure it gave them to be able to
do this charitable work. l hope that
those who were able only to pay
part and some not at ALL did not get
sued for the balance due. However,
this feature was not mentioned In
the report.
They charge $40 or SIS per week
for a room, according to location.
Medicine, laundry, bandages and
everything except the board and lOdg
ing is charged for extra, and they
don't overlook anything. | will ad
nit it is run on a businetss plan all
right, and the profit is properly
looked after. Would like to have
such a business organization to look
after business enterprise for me.
Their expenses are said to be
enormous, but considering the
charges they assess, and as they pay
charge them for their dishes, ETC.,
they accidentally break, and perhaps
for their laundry, and also that when
I was last around there, or rather at
the address to the graduating class,
mention was made of the fact that
they expected to build a much larger
hospital in another part of the city,
it seems they are doing real nice,
from business standpoint.
Of course, I owe them a little
money, about $4,000, which l expect
to pay, but just wanted you to have
the benefit of my experience with
those people who represent the Bap-
fist of Georgia. l do not believe the
majority Of Baptists in Georgia APP
prove, or would approve. if they
knew that people are sued for ac
counts at this hospital. It is all
right for a company to organize a
hospital for business reasons for pur-
pose of profit. This rs entirely right
but it does not strike me as being
the proper thing exactly to say they
are doing all this work in the name
of Jesus Christ. Let them take the
name of the church off their corner
stone, and while everything should
really be operated in the name Of
Jesus Christ, as long as His name is
used for advertising purposes, it
seems to me that the business should
be run as He would have it run.
I am sorry that it has come to such
a state of affairs that a church or
ganization feels that in doing things
for the people in this country that
it should go to law over an account.
Did you ever hear of Jesus Christ
threatening to sue the people He
cured?
I think the Baptist who subscribe
to your papers would be interested
nthis.
I don't know whether the Georgia
Baptist Hospital pays taxes and Ii
cense to operate business enter
prise, or not.
Yours very truly,
Ga. w. H. LESTER.

MISSIONARY HOSPITAL IN GEOR-
GA


Dear Sir: | have followed with
interest the efforts you have made to
show the people of this ce&1ntry the
folly Of the Foreign Mission stuff,
and as I have just had mice one
slipped over me by these Foreign
Mission advocates. just want to tell
you about it, and if you care to you
may take such notice of it through
your publications as the information
may be worthy of.
AS you no doubt know there is an
institution in Atlanta, known as the
Georgia Baptist Hospital ac-
cording to the statement printed on
marble slab right by the front door
where it may be seen easily, was
Erected for the sake of suffering
humanity in the name Of Jesus
Christ
Now this statement is worthy of
the highest consideration if these
people would live up 30 what it says
Last September | had occasion to
take my wife to this place of business
for treatment by an outside physician.
I paid $25 per week for two or three
weeks and then got less expensive
room for SIS, and paid that for
several weeks, and then 1 got out of
ready cash and had to let the pay
ments be suspended for a while My
wife finally died, but don't think my
getting short of money had anything
to do with this, as she died from the
effects of an operation.
However, I am now in receipt of
a letter from some attorneys who
state that this Baptist Hospital
(Strong Foreign Missionaries, foreign
free schools, free hospitals for the
people in China) has turned my ac-
count over to them for collection
Don you think that is a fine game?
The Idea of people who claim to be
doing this work in the name of Jesus
Christ, should want to sue me, an
American, for a bill incurred in His
name. 1t is surprising that He
should permit such things to go on
but that is not for us to criticise.
Now the Manager or Superintend-
ent of this Baptist Hospital is sup
posed to be a preacher. In one OF
their reports in one of their church
papers, there was a long winded
article about "How much pleasure it
gave him to go among the sick, ad-
ministering to their wants, and that
the light that shown in their pain
worn faces as he would tell them of
the goodness of the Great Healer was
all the reward they wanted for their
services ETC., or line of Bull
to that effect.
The fact is, I think the reward
they prefer is the Almighty Dollar,
and as for this manager going
among the sick My wife was there
something like nine weeks, and he
nor any member Of his family Call
working there) ever called to see her,
except on one occasion when l was
a little behind on my payments, one
Of the lady members called on my
wife to ascertain where I was at
work, when l got paid off, etc. Guess
this is their idea of distributing good
will to the sick.
In the report referred to, they
make mention of the fact that some
people pay in full, and some were
