outstanding event of the home for the
past year, the erection of the handsome
recreation building. He referred to the
donor of the building, Mrs. j. Hull
Browning of New York, who presented
the new structure to st. Luke's as a
thank offering for "deliverance from
sudden death
Tells OF Inception
And then Bishop Atwood told of the
establishment of st. Luke's in the
Mountains" where some small cot
tages, located near private sanitarium
at Prescott, has served the needs of
patients unable to remain in the Salt
River valley during the summer
months. He told, too, of plans for st.
Lukes in the Desert which call for
cottages and simple administration
building, with kitchen attached, to be
located near Tucson. He said that the
former had been given a good start,
and that he believed the money would
soon be forthcoming for the endow-
ment of the latter. He called attention
to the fact that while St Luke's is
under the supervision of the Episcopal
church, it is strictly non -sectarian.
People of whatever religious belief, or
without religious belief of any sort, are
| taken in and all receive the same care
and attention.
Attention was called to the fact that
st. Luke's now has equipment valued
at between $4,000 and 100000, with an
endowment Of about $4,000. He said
that a check had just been received
for $l,00 the donor saying it was TO
pay on endowment or to pay for the
new furnace as the trustees saw fit"
| Yesterdays mail brought many con-
tributions, one for $50 from Castle Hot
Springs, another for five dollars from
widow, who said she was giving
within the extent of her humble
! means.
Before closing Bishop Atwood told
of the establishment of THE Arizona
Health League" Briefly this league
consists of units of twenty members
each, who pledge themselves to give IS
annually to the support of ST. Luke's
home or to its branches, as may be
designated. The first unit has already
| been formed at Castle Hot Springs, and
others have been put under way. If
one person contributes more than So
annually, then a less number will con-
stitute a unit. Each unit contributes
800 annually. The bishop expressed
the hope that these units would be
formed in various parts of the country,
| by the churches, societies and groups
of persons.
