The Denver Jewish news., 1923-06-28

These are bound to win admiration,
though RELUCTANT BECAUSE we all In this
country are under the greatest obliga-
tions to You for this great chain of
philanthropic institutions that you
have reared, and are maintaining from
the Atlantic to the Pacific coast"
Joseph f. Jaffa, Denver attorney
formally dedicated the Louis d. Beau
mont Home fer Nurses which the donor
had given to the institution in memory
Of his son Dudley.
The Rt. Rev. Irving p. johnson. bis
hop of the Episcopal church, said, ''the
National Jewish Hospital for Consump-
tives represents the harmonious efforts
OF the best instincts of man, the in
stincts of science, religion and busi-
ness to express themselves. The in
stitution represents the very best re-
suits of scientific research, the very
best products of commercial achieve
meut expressing itself in generosity,
and the self-sacrificing devotion of men
and women who are inspired by God
to consecrate themselves to the service
of man.
Bishop Johnson spoke in terms OF
praise of the board of managers and
trustees of the institution, who are de-
voting so much time, energy and
thought to its success.
Members of the boards of trustees" !"
he said. must exercise more care of
an institution than administering their
own private affairs. Too many MEM
bers CT boards are content with merely
having their names printed on the
stationery This is not so in the case
of this institution
Must Continue Efforts.
He admonished them to continue
their efforts bearing in mind that those
who criticize are generally the ones
who give nothing, do nothing and care
nothing. "The greatest difficulty in rum
ming the institution" he said. ''is due
to the clamor of the do-nothing' busy
bodies, and the greatest factor in the
success of an Institution is a consid-
crate and generous supporting body,
ready to give more with their hands
than with their mouths"
Mrs. Seraphine Pisko. secretary of
:he institution dedicated the Hofheimer
ehildren's building. and paid touch
Ing tribute to Mr. and Mrs. Joseph HOf-
heimcr, who, she said. never saw the
building they gave to an institution
they had never visited, to help children
they never knew. for both of the
donors had died before the building
was completed.

Judge Ben b. Lindsey was the last
speaker. He told of the inspiration
of the Institution to himself in his
work. and expressed the hope TINT
Denver would one day have chill
dren's building which would be as eff

of the children of the community MS

Three hundred and fifty of Denver's
leading Jewish citizens participated in
