The institution was incorporated, and Bethany Home. seven miles northeast of the city near the Glendale car line. was purchased.

 We feel il to be the mission of this institution to give to the sick and suffering that come to us real home life, combined with true Christian fel- lowship, which cannot be obtained in hotels, lodging places and in the pri- vate sanatoriums. Many people come here whose means are very limited and to whom most doors are closed. but to whom we desire to extend a welcome at reasonable rates Then there are those whos- money and re- sources are exhausted and must have help We feel it our duty to help some of these. and in order to do so the directors of this institution have voted to give 25 per cent of all money received by subscriptions or other wise to charity purposes. Only those in touch with the situation know the greatness of the need. Our aim is not to minister merely to the physical needs of the sick, but to offer all the spiritual help possible. We are not offering to the afflicted cheap Iodg- ing place. but Christian home.
