duty to see that they who sent the
sick to us should supply the means to
support them with before they snter
the hospitals. also when they are dis
charged from the hospitals. The 70
suit was that at its next convention,
it was unanimously resolved 10 COM
mend our attitude and approve OF our
action in this matter and the sum OF
one thousand dollars year was ap-
propriated for Denver Relief.
Now l am happy to say that we
have accomplished great deal Of
good during these ten years. For not
only can we point with pride to the
social service we did TO the members
Of our Order while they were inmates
in either one Of the three National
Jewish hospitals in our city, but we
also did some constructive work for
them after they got discharged from
those institutions. We can point with
pride to many man in Denver maxi
ing respectable living from the~
tailor shops, shoe-repairing shops, or
from peddling, who might have been
now burden on our Jewish commun-
ity, had we not furnished them the
means TO make themselves self-sup-
porting. In cases where we had com.
municated with the subordinate
lodges, whereto some of those patients
belong, we had always met with an.
precistive response and liberal con-
tribution. We have never been turn
ed down by any lodge whom We asked
for its cooperation 10 do some con-
structive Social Service for one Of its
members.
Nay, we had done more than that.
You still remember that. since the I.
o. B. A. gave the first $4,000. 300 to the
J. c. r. S. for which its first ten acres
of ground was purchased and = few
canvas tents were erected thereon,
our Order har been contributing gen.
erously to the sanitoria annually.
1t may be remarked right here that
the old policy Of the National was to
admit incipient cases only. But when
we came out ten years ago with our.
appeal to the hundreds Of lodges Of
our fraternity. pleading directly in
behalf of their own sick, We made in
directly wonderful propaganda for
the sanitorium. We told our people
about the overcrowded condition in
that hospital, the long waiting list Of
its applicants and the urgent neees-
sity Of enlarging that institution.
This extensive propaganda has made
thousands of our own members to
sympathizc with and contribute to
that worthy institution. And when
soon thereafter that splendid well-dc-
serving Jewish Home for Consump-
tives" was built, our order, as well as
as p great many Of It's members indi-
viddally have been giving cheerfully
and literally their moral and financial
support towards it ever since.
wish to emphasize here that every
cent we received, either from the
Grand Lodge or from some of the sub
ordinate lodges, goes for Social Serv-
ice only. Not penny thereof is be-
ing wasted. No bills for incidentals,
such as telephone, typewriting. car
fare and even for postage has been
presented for years.
Our Grand Officers have treated US
constantly with courtesy and respect.
Our Grand Secretary, Brother Max
/ l.. Hollander, has never sent us a let
ter without expressing to US his deep
appreciation, his gratitude and even
his blessing for our good work.
In conclusion, wish to say, that
believing with our Rabbis, "Hanothen
Poss Lethinek Zurich Lehodecach
Leimoh," ale who gives bread to a
child shall so inform its mother"
We have been furnishing our Mother
Organization, the Grand Lodge. with
an itemized copy of our finance re-
ports from time to time. The Grand
Lodge knows of every dollar we got in
and whom it was given to. l have
the honor to append hereto the reply
| received from our Grand Secretary
to my last finance report.
Thanking you in behalf of our Off
GERS for your hearty assistance and CO
operation you gave them during their
term of office, am
Fraternally yours,
