CAMPAIGN FOR HOS
PTTAL EQUIPMENT
Kings Daughters viii Raise
Funds for Instruments and
Furniture.

No matter to what we have given
or have not! No matter to what
cause! No matter what the demand! |!
No matter how much or how little!
No matter how pressing the need has
been! Everything pleasant or un-
pleasant, generous or ungenerous,
voluntary or involuntary is to be
forgotten-the things that have been
are passed and the Hospital is to be
remembered only, when the. time
shall have arrived.
Nov. 21-30 is the date for solicit
tations for Hospital equipment.
Can any cause come closer home to
you than that?
Without equipment the strong,
new building would be like the hu-
man body without its spirit-like a
child born deaf, dumb and blind.
The faculties" suggested by the
beautiful outer part will develop
with every contribution made, with
every room furnished, with the med
ical and surgical aids necessary. the
iDstallment of the X-ray apparatus;
the equipment Of the culinary de-
partment, ETC., etc. There is so much
needed to make the Hospital effi-,
cient.
And what does all this mean to
you?
|. A widow the other day with her
sorrow fresh in her heart said "oh,
If the hospital had been ready, my
husband would not have died"
The Hospital represents, though
poorly, the life of Christ who re-
lieved suffering throughout his ear
thly pilgFmage-brief as it was. It
was the devoted sisters Of Lazarus
who said to Him: Lord, If thou
hadst been here, my brother had not
died."
The hospital will not be a hospital
until it is equipped and in running
order. 1t cannot serve without e.
Quipment.
When 1t is so palpably plain that
relief is needed for our people. that
emergency cases are so frequent; that
parents, husbands. wives, sisters,
brothers and friends stand so help
less in the face of danger to human
life, one cannot hesitate as to fiis or
her duty in helping to establish the
Hospital.
Devoted women have given them
selves to the cause in Brookhayen.
The enterprise has grown under
their fostering care until the City
has recognized the appealing de-
mand Of humanity and is erecting
the building.
The Kings Daughters and Sons
will supervise and administer the af-
fairs of the Hospital. There will be
cooperation on every hand for men
and women Of every creed, business
and profession are represented in the
organization that propagated the
movement for Hospital in our city.
1t belongs to the people of Lin
coin County. 1t will be your SER
want in time of dire need and dis
tress.
Let your conscience, unbiased and
unprejudiced, tell you what you
ought to do for the Hospital-what
you ought to give.
Perhaps you will express the cher
lshed memory of a loved one gone.
or Of one you love whose presence
still glorifies your life in notable
gift. Perhaps your Thanksgiving Joy
or your Christmas spirit will take
the form of gift for the Hospital
In His Name.''
No matter. Just think seriously
about 1t and give as generously as
you would If one you love lay dying
and you could purchase the precious
life. The Hospital will offer the best
means available to save that life.
