II the construction of the building is
to start promptly, It will be neces-
sary OF course that several contri-
buttons be paid in full in one pay
ment. Perhaps you may be able to
do this and thereby help immeasur-
ably toward bringing to lower Della

able only from a modern hospital.
When Is the ground to be brok-

warding the installments due now
or better by making payment in

ously before us--a vision Of a mod
ernly equipped hospital being erect
