New Jersey Doctor
nenates Hospital As
Xmas Gift To Citizen.

Newark, N. j., Jan. 4.-One of the
most sensational Christmas gifts ever
given to community was that pre-
sented by DR.. John A. Kenney when,
before a called meeting of the two
opposing hospital committees at the
hospital on Christmas eve, he offered
his hospital to his people as a Christ
mas gift.
In his presentation speech, DR..
Kenny, owner and medical director
Of the Kenney Memorial hospital
called attention to the fight which
he has been waging for ten years
for hospital for his people in this
community and deplored the fact
that by reason of factionalism and
strife, his ideal has been impossible
as conditions now stand. The hospi-
tai is located at 1924 West Ken
ney street.
The noted medic pointed out that
the community had formally accepted
his hospital last August for the sum
Of $4,000; that on Nov. Ia, the
original ways and means committee
had offered him $4,000, and that
subsequently the new committee of
25 had offered $4,000, but that he
declined all offers and in the inter-
est of harmony and solidarity In the
community, offered to donate the
hospital instead of selling it. S
The hospital, which is well
equipped and staff, has a property
value Of $4,000 in a normal mar
ket, while DR.. Kenney's personal
equity 70 said to be $68,00o.

Silyeo salverino swung into the path that led to his wife's grave, took three steps, and abruptly stopped. Setting down the large basket of peoples he was carrying toward that which had made him stop. A hundred feet ahead, the warm morning sun bathing his black, tousled hair, stood a small boy.
 Silveo's gaunt, sun-bronzed fea- lures softened as he watched the boy peering at the stone over An toinette's grave. The boy, he re- flected, had a right to look puzzled. Nothing on the stone, but

The MARYLAND BIBLE SOCIETY'S CORNER
"The Word of Our God Shall Stand Forever"

to accept the office OF priest in his
private chapel. This Micah achieved
the more readily as the Levite, who
came from Bethlehem-Judah, was
temporarily out of employment. The
terms of the Levite's call-ten shekels
of silver year, suit of apparel and
board, being satisfactory, the young
man was duly installed in the house
of Micah. All went we'll for a season,
and Micah was happy in the belief that
God would prosper him because of
the Levite who was his priest.
Then came a band of wandering
Danites by the house of Micah, and
recognizing the voice of the Levite
at his prisons, they inquired of him
whether their way would be prosper
Gus, to which he answered: go in
peace; before the Lord is the way in
which we CO." This was as ambiguous
as some of the directions of the Del
phian oracle. However, the Danites
were successful in their raid upon
Laish, whose peaceful citizens made
practically no resistance. On their way
back to Micah's territory they coaxed
his priest, the Levite of Bethlehem,
under the promise of a larger field
and richer remuneration, to leave his
old patron, and return with them,
bringing the gods of Micah and the
paraphernalia of worship with him,
so we read: "And the priests heart
was glad, and he took the ephod and
the teraphim, and the craven image,
and went in the midst of the people"
Micah, when he discovered his loss,
attempted to pursuade the Levite to
return, also to give back the stolen
ecclesiastical equipment; but being
threatened by the Danites, who were
much stronger than he, the attempt
failed, and he returned humiliated.
The Danites established themselves
at Laish and set up the same form of
worship which Micah had espoused;
Jonathan, the son of Gershom the
son of Manasseh and his sons being
set apart as priests to the tribe Of
Dan, in which office they continued
until the captivity.
