Explains Appeal
"The Lutheran hospital is spon
sored by the "a Lutheran churches
of the Rock Island district which
! includes the counties of Rock Is
land, Henry, Mercer, Whiteside and
, Scott county, Iowa." said Mr.. An
! derson in opening his address to
the workers. ''The entire commaE-
ity is served by thi substitution
and Is per cent of the patients come
from the city OF Rock Island, and
the Lutheran hospital is, therefore
making its appeal to the people
living in the community which il
! serves"
1t was aleo pointed out that dur
ing the {. "asium campaign in
1920, Nc assisted in raising
funds be, the Augustana gym
nasium sc. led the entire commun-
ity. One point stressed by the
speaker was that the patients
treated at the Lutheran hospital
could not be expected to pay fol-
the buildings erected and fol
further expansion Of the institu'
ton, and, therefore, it is the duty
Of the people of the community te
| build and equip the institution.
| President Gustav Andreen of All
gustana college was present and
spoke briefly on the prospects Of
the campaign and urged the work
ers to make a success Of their eff
! forts. Others who spoke were DR.
