~cARRY THE PROJECT THROUGH" SAYS MIR. BOWEN

The Day kimball Hospital is the one institution of this locality that is ready, day and night. to cave life, and to care for the sick and the maimed. At present it is too small to accommodate the staff of nurses and the average number of patients who seek admission there.

For us to shirk that duty would be worse than folly, worse than heartless, and more than shameful. Let us, then, carry the project through
