Show last four workers are my dearest hope, and we shall have them before ten years . have passed. The two at the, hospital will, besides their purely religious work, teach the women and children to read, and will have classes in some simple industry, such as basketry, that those who are bedridden for months may happily occupy their time. The nurses also will give them instruction in hygiene and simple sanitation. "The monthly program of the hospital staff will include health and sanitation lectures in the city and nearby country, lectures with charts, models, statistics, etc., that will inspire the Chinese of Lintsing to clean up their dirty streets and yards, and keep them so. "We shall have dispensaries not only in the city proper, but in a number of outlying villages, where simple diseases will be treated, and from which patients needing further care may be sent into the hospital. "Already you have given, us the running water system, the bathrooms, equipment, the nurses' home, and the house for your foreign doctor and nurse. We are joyously grateful, but we want to keep on carrying the joy forward." What work could be more Christlike than this? Dr. Cooke has proved herself in every Way to be big enough to carry it on. This is our work, also, and we are sharing in it by giving. |
