Out of the fog and gloom of a week preceding the sun broke into warmth and radiance amid a clear blue sky, as if anxious to share in the occasion, set heaven's ap- prOVal upon its deed,and make augury, of prosperous years for the ministry of mercy then dedicated to the acâ€" suagement of the ills of man. A FINE STRUCTURE Shortly before 1.30 Mr. Ross and party drove up hospital hill to the building. There it stood, a towering mass of brick and steel and concrete with its éorridors, archways, its pil- Mr. and Mrs. Ross, their son Jack Ross, and a few friends arrived by special train in the foreman. It was a town in gala dress that greeted them.

Two years ago it: was said that .Mr. Ross was 0111- ing to build a haspital here. and was approached with regard to it. He was willing to do so, but practically said to those who visited him ’ ‘Whafl are the people of the county willing to do ? What assurance can you give that if a hospital is built it will be maintained and used for the pur. pose for which it would be built ? ' We raised an endowment fund that is now $16,000.

It was here that: you formerly dwelt. well-loved by your friends and rapected by all. It was here that you firmly planted the foot of the ladder upon which you have risen to a financial eminence reached by but few of our country- men. Nothing could be more fitting and graceful than that, in this place. you diould‘ call back into life and lorever establish the fragrance and charm which belonged to these earlâ€" ier gssociatmns. In erecting this house for the nursâ€" ing and cure of the sick you have done us a service. which we could not have hoped to have done for oursel'vâ€" es. And you have done it miter a. fashion which is more than liberal. You have made this institution in the highest degree worthy of its beneflcent and holy purpose. It is ample in size, handsome in appearâ€" ance. completely furnished in every detail, equipped with every medical and surgical appliance which the physician's .art could desire, thor- oixghly fitted ‘to aflord every human chance ..!or the mliei and restoration of the sick.
