NASHVILLE GLOBE. CHRISTMAS NUMBER Part One. VOL. V. MINUTELY TOLD BY EMINENT DIVINE. Jewish Reckoning Different From Now. DATE OF BEGINNING OF THE BUILDING OF ROME GREAT AID IN DETERMINING CORRECT TIME—PRESENT METHOD OF RECKONING BEGAN WITH THE SIXTH CENTURY—SHEPHERDS COULD BE IN THE FIELD IN DECEMBER—EASTERN / CHURCH ONE REGARDED JANUARY 6TH AS THE DAY OF BIRTH. Paul tells us through his letter to the Galatians that "when the fullness of time was come, God sent forth his Son, made of a woman." The time had come; the word was made flesh and dwelt on earth. But do we really know when He did come? Do we know the right year, month of date of the month, when the angelic messengers on that first Christmas morn broke to those humble shepherds on Bethlehem's plain the world's best news, "Unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour which is Christ the Lord?" What season of the year was it when this gracious announcement was made? Was it spring, summer, autumn or winter? Today we celebrate December 25th as the birthday. Is this the right month, and is the date the correct one? Who is able to tell us definitely or convincingly that the world's Redeemer was born in this season of the year? There are a number of very clever opinions on the subject; yet, however satisfactory these may seem to be, we are prompted to believe that the same may be said about the right time of the birth of Christ, as is said about the Day of Judgment. No living man knoweth but the Father in heaven. Though the year may be approximately correct, the month and date of the month are not very convincing. The data of the many calculations to solve the mystery of this event are in the gospels. Some of these passages have been stretched to yield what calculators desire, but their findings break down completely when the searchlight of candid investigation is turned on them. There are others that seem to satisfy the sincere search after truth as to their approximate correctness. Among these are Matt. 2:1-13, 16 and 19; Luke 3:23 and John 2:20. With the assistance rendered by Josephus, to interpret these passages in relation to the event, we are able to determine approximately the year of our Lord's advent. Before briefly investigating these data, we must remind ourselves of the fact that our present system of numbering years is a product of the sixth century. Dionysus Erigums, an influential Scythian monk, was entrusted with the task of preparing a new table for the observance of Easter, which should take the place of the method then in use, based on the Diocletian persecution of the Christians. He made his era to begin not with the advent, but with the miraculous conception. He made the conception to be March 25, and the birth December 25, A. D. 1, or 754 A. V. C. In making our calculations we must also bear in mind the loose method of Jewish reckoning. With them a part of a year, whether a month or any other fraction is regarded as a year. With these observations we will now venture to locate the year of our Saviour's birth. In Matt. 2:1-13, 16 and 19 we are told that Christ was born when Herod was king. Herod tried to kill him; he failed, and died early after his failure. In what year did these events occur? If we can locate Herod's reign and fix the time of his death, then we will be able approximately to determine the year of the birth of Christ. Josephus is invaluable to us in this connection. He tells us that in the year 714 A. U. C. 1, e., on the 184 yolmiad, the Senate of Rome unexpectedly, through the influence of Antony, appointed Herod king of Judea. When the appointment was made Calus Domitius Calvimus was Consul the second NASHVILLE, TENN., FRIDAY, DECEMBER 23, 1910. time and Caius Asinius Pollio for the first time. Herod, however, never ascended the throne until the third year after the appointment, i. e., on the 185 olympiad (717 A. U. C.) after he had caused the death of Antigonus, the then ruler, by paying Anotony a large sum. We are also told by Josephus (Bk. 17 8:1) that he reigned after Antigonus' death, thirty-four years and thirty-seven from the time he was appointed king, that is, he died in the year 750 A. U. C., four years earlier than the time of Christ's birth as fixed by Dionysius. Herod was living when Christ was born according to the passage here in Matthew, hence Dionysius is at least four years too late in his table. In Joephus (Bk. 17 6:4) we are also informed that shortly before Herod's death there was an eclipse of the moon, and although he was very sick that night he deprived Matthias of the high-priesthood and caused the other Matthias with his seditious companions to be brunt alive. This eclipse has been astronomically calculated as occurring probably on September 15, 749 A. U. C., or B. C. 5. We are further reminded that the Passover occurred just after Herod's death, 750 A. U. C., and that Archelaus, his son proclaimed seven days for general mourning. From this it is argued that Herod died more than seven days before that Passover. If this is so, since Christ was born before Herod's death, therefore He was born before the Passover of 750 A. U. C. Again, in Luke 3:23, we learn that when Jesus began to teach he was about 30 years of age. This was the age at which he was baptized, and when, as by Levitical custom, He should enter on His ministry. Now, if he was born in 750 A. U. C., then He began His ministry in 780 A. U. C.; and if he were baptized in January, as is generally believed, then He would attend His first Passover after baptism in April 780 A. U. C. It was at this first Passover in His ministry that the Jews ridiculed His answer to their demand for a sign as to His authority for whipping the desecrators out of the temple. "Destroy," He told them, "this temple and in three days I will raise it up." They did not understand Him. They thought He meant Herod's temple. Hence to convince Him of the impossibility of such an undertaking, they said to Him, "Forty and six years was this temple in building and wilt thou rear it up in three days?" The temple was not then completed. Josephus tells us that the rebuilding was begun by Herod in the eighteenth year of his reign (Bk. 15 11:1), that is in the year 734 A. U. C. Now, if it were in the 46th year since the rebuilding began, it would be in April 780 A. U. C., when Christ drove these desecrators out of the temple, and spoke to his questioners as to his ability to resurrect the temple of His own body in three days. As He was then 30 years of age, He was born in 750 A. U. C. This is the same result as when we made the death of Herod the basis of our calculations. These results give us an absolute terminus. Christ from these data could not have been born later than 750 A. U. C., or B. C. 4, and taking all intervening circumstances into consideration, the earliest date of his birth probably is 749 A. U. C., or B. C. 5. The time of the year is a mystery, the secret of which cannot be satisfactorily fathomed. Arbitrarily fixing a date does not help matters. Doinysius fixed December 25th. How did he arrive at his conclusion? He had the traditional date of the western church before him, and to coincide with the church's idea he simply made the miraculous conception March 25, and December 25, of course, would be the date of the birth. If he was at least four years wrong in fixing the year, we are suspicious as to the correctness of his month and date. Many attempts, however, have been made to fix the month and date with Luke 1:15 as datum, but the calculations are so complicated that the result cannot be accepted without grave suspicion as to its accuracy. We are told in the passage that Zacharias was of the course of Abia. This was the 8th of the twenty-four classes instituted by David for the Temple service, each class serving twice a year. From the Talumud and Josephus Jewish wars we learn that at the destruction of the Temple by Titus August 5, 823 A. U. C., the first class had just begun its course. If we take 749 A. U. C. as the earliest year of Christ's birth, the appearance to Zacharias, telling him of John's birth, must be 748 A. U. C., and calculating back from August 5, 823 A. U. C., the course of Abia must have officiated from the 17th to the 23rd of April and from the 3rd to the 9th of October, 748 A. U. C. If we choose the April service, then John's birth must DR. W. J.

Olive Church. MASS-MEETING SUNDAY AFTER NOON LARGELY ATTENDED—ALL THE BAPTIST SUNDAYSCHOOLS REPRESENTED—SPECIALISTS DELIVER LECTURES—ENTHUSIASM RAN TO A HIGH PITCH—DR. E. C. MORRIS, PRESIDENT OF THE NATIONAL BAPTIST CONVENTION, A VISITOR TO THE SESSION. The call to Christian service was the keynote and main spoke in the wheel of Sunday-school progress and was the closing theme at the massmeeting, the climax of the SundaySchool Teachers and Workers' Institute, which was in session from Tuesday to Sunday at the Mt. Olive Baptist Church. This institute represented more Christian workers in the city of Nashville than any meeting that has ever been held among the local churches. First, the institute was endorsed by the forty-two Baptist Sunday-school which have each a superintendent and assistant, thus there were eighty-four superintendents and assistants interested. Each pastor was interested. Rev. T. J. Lewis declares that there is an average of six teachers to each of these schools. Aside from this, the Baptists claim the largest membership among the churches of any other denomination in the city. So the mass-meeting Sunday, while not as largely attended as was anticipated, is calculated to have caused more widespread attention to the Sunday-school work than has hitherto been directed along that line by the Negroes of the city. The praise service was conducted by Rev. N. H. Plus, D. D., Superintendent of the Teacher-Training-Course. At the close of this service, Dr. C. H. Clark was presented and presided. He in turn introduced the principal speaker of the evening, Rev. W. S. Ellington, A. M., D. D., pastor of the First Baptist Church and Editorial Secretary of the National Baptist Convention. His subject was "The Call to Christian Service." While he spoke briefly, he covered a splendid field, discus- therefrom March 31. 1908.

He compared them with the call of today. The next speakers were: Rev. T. J. Townsend, D. D., pastor Spruce Street Baptist Church; Rev. E. S. Ferrell, pastor Mt. Zion Baptist Church, and Rev. A. O. Kenney, pastor First Baptist Church, East Nashville. Rev. R. H. Boyd closed the remarks for the evening and took up the contribution. It was unanimously voted at this meeting that Dr. Plus conduct another Sunday-School Institute, as it was evident that the enthusiasm was unbounded and that untold good had been accomplished. Among the speakers who appeared during the sessions of the institute were: Dr. H. M. Hamill, D. D., Superintendent of the Teacher-Training-Course of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South (white); Mrs. H. M. Hamill, Assistant Superintendent of Teacher-Training Course of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South (white); Rev. J. C. Fields, of the Plicasant Green Baptist Church, Dr. E. C. Morris, President of the National Baptist Convention, and a score of other prominent workers in and out of the city. ANNOUNCEMENT.

One of the prominent visitors in the city last week was Mr. C. L. Miller, Treasurer of the Fred Douglas Shoe Company, at Haverhill, Mass. This company is capitalized at $10,000. The sales last year amounted to $12,000. Mr. Miller estimates that the business for this fiscal year will more than double that of last year. They employ three traveling salesmen regularly, and command a large trade in the South. Mr. Miller came to Nashville to be at the wedding of Prof. Haynes, of Fisk University, but combined business with pleasure. He said to a Globe representative that he planned to do enough business to pay his expenses, and much to his surprise he had been able to far exceed that amount. The company contemplates opening several stores in the South and Nashville is among the points under consideration. Mr. Miller is a graduate of Fisk University of the class of 1904. He is the son of Rev. B. W. Miller, of Columbia, Tenn. No. 51 STILL FIGHTING FOR EXISTENCE. Richmond Institution Has Hope of New Life. COMPILER OF NATIONAL BANK DIRECTORY HAS ENCOURAGING INFORMATION FROM PEOPLE ON SCENE - NEGROES NOT FRIGHTENED BY BANK FAILURES-MOVE THEIR BUSINESS TO OTHER BANKS AND GO ON-FRIENDS OF THE ORDER ALL OVER COUNTRY SPEAKING WORDS OF CHEER. Compiler of Bank Directory Predicts That Their Bank Will "Come Back" as a Factor in the Financial World. There has been no serious loss, no shaking of confidence, and no run whatever on the Negro banks scattered throughout the great Southland, all of which are doing a magnificent business in the financial world; some of the stock of which has advanced rapidly, as a result of the failure of the True Reformers and its departments which was the direct cause of their bank going into the hands of a receiver some months ago, not even in Richmond, Va., has one of the remaining three substantial financial institutions, been affected or embarrassed by this misfortune to the oldest Negro bank in the United States. This information was gained this week from Mr. H. A. Boyd, who is compiling the National Bank Directory and special guide of Negro banks and financial concerns owned and operated by the race throughout the United States, and who no doubt is in possession of any array of facts and information not generally known by the masses. It was learned from him that instead of there being a "run on the Negro banks," of Richmond, since the closing of the True Reformers, there has been "a run to the banks." He has been in close touch with the directors and officers of the Nickel Savings Bank, the St. Luke Bank and the Mechanics' Bank, all of Richmond, hence speaks with assurance. Notwithstanding Mrs. Walker, the only woman president of a bank operated by members of the race, is at the head of one of these institutions. It is claimed they are standing like the Rock of Gibraltar as financial institutions in Richmond. It was also learned that there were some things connected with the management of the Reformers' Bank that almost removed it from the direct public, as a regular bank. The fact develops that it was principally a depository, a treasury, of the Grand United Order of True Reformers. It seems that no stock of this bank was held by outsiders, as every dollar's worth of stock, all of which was subscribed and paid up, was owned by members of this secret organization, making it in the true sense a real family affair, hence the business men of the race could not be affected in any way. Just like a misfortune in any secret order is overcome, wiped out or erased; just as they start out anew and build up out of the fragments a more progressive order, just so is it predicted that the Grand United Order of True Reformers, who have untold resources to draw upon from its membership, will overcome this misfortune and failure. It is pointed out by the compiler of the National Bank Directory that no check whatever has been made in the progress of institutions that are being organized and started by the Negroes—in fact, not a howl nor an accusation against other banks anywhere in the United States has been made on account of this failure, which he savs is going to be overcome as speedily as possible. "It might be information," said Mr. Boyd, "to the public to know that this bank, being long a depository of the order, was really as much the order itself as the law could make it. Many years ago the True Reformers succeeded in securing from the State Legislature a charter for a bank. It appears that the charter provided that the same directors of the Order of True Reformers were to govern the affairs of (Continued on Page 4.) Have You Bought One?

A picture is like a dinner, says Mr. Frederick Keppel, the well-known art connoisseur. A "verbal description of either is inadequate, and one must view the picture or eat the dinner, as the case may be, if one desires to form an opinion of the quality on the one or the other." Such an apology is offered for the absence of detailed description of the pictures that represent the Christmas idea, brought together by Mr. Keppel in a recently published volume called "Christmas in Art." His apology may be reeched by us who reproduce some of the charming things of the volume, letting the pictures for the most part speak for themselves. There is one important observation made by the editor of the volume to account for the character of the choice here made. The pictures which represent a variety in national expression are entirely of a day long past. "In the case of Biblical pictures," observes Mr. Keppel, "as in the case of ecclesiastical architecture and sculpture, the finest are certainly those produced in centuries past and not those of our own too sophisticated day." This is because "the really great works of Christian art were made in the epochs of simple and unquestioning faith." The writer speaks thus of one or two masters here reproduced: "Albert Durer, who was born at Nuremburg in 1471, was full of simple credence in the Catholic Church of four centuries ago, although he lived to see his native city a center of the Reformation, and although he engraved a fine portrait of the reformer, Philip Melancon; out from Durer we get some of the most heartfelt and truly beautiful pictures of the Nativity. Notice the original engraving done by him in the year 154. Here we see the Virgin Mother adoring her Holy Child, while St. Joseph is engaged in the prosaic domestic employment of drawing water from a well. "The surrounding buildings are entirely in the manner of Nuremberg, and not at all like those of Palestine; but what does that matter?—the picture as it stands is a beautiful one, and full of genuine inspiration. "Take again the original etching by Rembrandt, the angel announcing the birth of Christ to the shepherds. The picture was etched in the year 1634. It is really a sublime composition, notwithstanding its close approach, in parts to the innocently ludicrous. The whole conception of the scene may justly be called noble and exalted; but such details as the heavy 'Dutch angel' and the 'pinwheel' of cherubs whirling above him, as well as the consternation of the cattle and the shepherds below, are, to us, perilously near being ridiculous—although the master never meant them to be so. "In this old picture, I repeat, we have genuine feelings. The artists made their pictures just as they felt them, and genuine feeling is the source of all great art, no matter through what medium the artist may express himself." The pictures of sacred subjects produced in the early ages of the faith and simplicity, Mr. Keppel reminds us, show that "the chief intention of the artist was to stimulate the piety of the spectator, and not to make a 'pretty' picture."—The literary Digest. MEHARRY PROFESSORS TO SOLICIT ONE THOUSAND DOLLARS TO CLEAR DEBT ON NEW HOSPITAL. At a meeting of the Executive Board of the Hubbard Hospital Association, the Hon. J. C.

THE LORD'S SUPPER THE RIGHT VESSELS USED TO COMMEMORATE IT ANY Congregation can have its wants supplied by securing one of our Guardruple-Plated Table Silver ware Communion Sets at a moderate price and on reasonable terms. A set consists of one flagon, two goblets and two bread plates. If the church wants more goblets or plates, they can be furnished at an additional cost. The commemoration of the Lord's Supper is a very sacred ordinance. The custom for centuries has been to have special vessels for this occasion. Thus a communion set becomes an important part of this service. Many churches have used the old style communion set while others use an individual set. Both are appropriate and well-recommended. One is no reflection upon the other. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONCERNING PRICES AND TERMS. WRITE TO THE NATIONAL BAPTIST CHURCH SUPPLY Co., R. H.

We believe the les- son taught the able editor of the Cri- sis by the press of the country will enable him to see his error, and when he realizes that there is work enough in the country for two great men he will stop fighting Mr. Washington and will about face and set about to do the service for his people for which he has so thoroughly prepared himself, The Negro race needs a DuBois and a Washington, that they may have a Fisk University and a Tuske- gee. It is the duty of the Negro race to put forth every effort to induce these tivo great educators to both stay out of politics and devote their ener- gies to educating the young minds to think and act wisely, ‘ Olid Santa Claus, The time for old Santa Claus to make his annual visit ha arrived and there are thousands of little ones in this city and all over this country expecting him to come td see them.

From these opinions, then, 1% may not be inconsistent with the earliest. tradic- fon of the date of the birth— Decem- ber 25. In conclusion, we may also remark that the Eastern Church early re- garded January 6 as Christmas Day. They first celebrated it as Hpiphania It was not commemorative of the date of the birth, but of the first inanifestation of His Divinity. They fixed the day in hecordance with the eenan of the ‘first Adam, | which was on the sixth’ day or the work ot the creation. ‘They, however, grad- uelly adopted the natalis of — the Western Church—December 25. A sermon irom Chrysostom in 386 was very influential in bringing about the final change. There were va- rious other dates for Christmas Day —January 10th and also April 5th were among them; but the tradition- al date of the Western Chureh—De- cember 25th—is now generally _ob- served. But there is no certainty as to itsbeing the day of Christ's birth.

Monday was annual election day of officers at the Paptist City Min- isters’ Conference. ‘Those present. represented the majority of « the churches who have pastors among the Baptists in the city. The regular Youtine of business was taken up. Among the things discussed, by which the Baptists went on record, was the opposition or solid protest to be offered from their pulpits against Negroes loitering around soft drink stands. Tt is sald that they will make an appeal to the \city and county authorities to have re- moved from the streets the loiterers, who congregate around these places obstructing the passage and becoming a veritable nuisance in many places. It is also said that they will urge the authorities to especially keep the women of the race out of such places, The following’ officers were elected for the ensuing year: chairman, Rev. C. H. Clark, D. D.’ pastor of Mt. Olive Baptist Church; Rev. Wm. Haynes, Vice President; Rev. J. C. Fields, pastor of Pleasan® Green Bap- tist Church, Secretary, and Rev, G. B.

EVERY DETAIL CARRIED OUT AS ARRANGED—HEAD NURSE ON THE GROUND WITH CORPS OF HELPERS — CONVENIENCES OF INSTITUTION UNSURPASSED— EACH FLOOR A PALACE !N IT- SELF—OPERATING ROOM WILL ACCOMMODATE OVER HUN- DRED STUDENTS. The George W. Hubbard Hospital which was nothing more than a mere proposition a little less than eight months ago has become a grand real- ity, and Thursday saw the forinal opening of what is destined to be a magnificent institution, This hos- pital js an addition to the famous and well known Meharry Medical College, of Walden University, and is located on Second avenue, South, near Chest- nut street. For some time before the exercises people gathered in the auditorium and thronged about the street viewing the building which stands high above the street. The Meharry Band was in ey- idence and dispensed several fine se- Jections. The people moved into the auditorium and were seated. It was NASHVILLE GLOBE, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 23, 1910: “Miss Burton adds to a fine Sate rene and pare Denny a voice of unusual sweetness and power.’ —New York Age. “The young soprano, encompassing a well defined characterization of stage deportment appearing lovely and thoroughly veflective in vocal detail—magically fascinated the en- tire assemblage by the sweetness of her voice gd her caresing colorature."— Smart ‘Set, Brookipn, N. Y. only a few minutes after 1:80 p. m. be- fore every seat in the building was taken and portable chairs were pressed into service. This however did not suffice, and standing room was soon at a premium, The University Orchestra, under the direction of Miss M. EB, Braden, began processional march, and the hospital nurse class, which Was in uniform, entered and marched to the front of the center aisle, followed by the in- ternes, who Were also in uniform. Be- hind the internes came the senior medical class of ‘11. ‘The choir opened the exercises by singing, “All hail the power of Jesus’ name,” and Rey. T. W. Johnson, for- merly pastor of Clarke Chapel M. B. ‘Church, invoked div'ne _ blessings. The choir then favored the audience with a Jubilee selection, “Good News,” led by Miss Maude Roberts, which re- ‘ceived a hearty applause. _ Desn Hubbard announced the pur- ‘pose pf the meeting and gave a bit ot history of the movement which had re- sulted in the erection of the building ‘now about to be dedicated, He made mention of several persons, clubs and other organizations that had labored faithfully and effectively in securing and providing means ta meet the ex- pense of erection and furnishing. At the close of his remarks he introduced Bishop Walden, President of the Board of Trustees of the University. Bishop Walden spoke at length and told of the time when he attended a medical college in Cincinnati. He said the advantages offered by colleges in those days was far inferior to what the student begins with today. The Bishop urged the students to main- tain the dignity of the profession. “I have been thinking,’ he said, “of the relation of the medical profession to the problem of the Negro race.” “The zraduates are themselves an ob- Ject lesson of what it is possible to accomplish.” The greatest benefit, he urged. is the improved sanitary condi- tion the Negro doctor is abic ta bring about and that is 80 much needed. _ Governor Patterson who had been invited to attend Was detained at his office and sent greetings. He regret- ted his inability to be present. Dr. RLF, Boyd was asked aR intro- duce the Mayor of Nashville, the Hon, Hillary Howse. Dr. Boyd was in a speaking mood and entertained the att- dience in a prolonged introduction in which he toid an amusing incident ot himself when 4 candidate for mayor et Nashville. He emphasized how the | Negro people of this city love and te- ‘spect Mayor Howse for being so broad. In short, he said, “He is the Mayor of all the people, white and black.” s Mayor Howse eulogized Dean Hub- bard on the great amount of uplifting work be had done since he had’ known bim which was 24 years or more. A glowing tribute was paid the Negro citizens of Nashville by Mayor Howse who declared that no city of its size could boast of as large a population of energetic, moral and refined citizens as is found here. Dr. Kumler, President of Walden University, spoke next jn an entertain- ing manner. He presented Dr. M. C. B. Mason and called him the “prince of orators,” his “brother in black.” Dr. Mason, elegant and briQiant, al- ways possessing a word of wisdom, spoke pleasingly for several minutes, He saw great possibilities in the fu- ture. He made a plea for Africa which stands in need of all _civiliza- tion can give her, He appreciated the growing feeling of brotherly love and mutual helpfulness between the races. Tisk University had several repre- sentatives present. A communication was read from Dean Wright. Dr, Morgan, Dean of the Dental De- partment of Vanderbilt University, was introduced and spoke entertain- ingly. He revered the name of the sainted Dr. Braden. Dr. Hubbard styled Dy. Morgan as a friend who had stood by him. Dr. Morgan said he was the son of an ex-slave holder and stood as a link between the old and the new; that in anti-bellum days he had much association with the Negro people and they had never taught hint ene unprincipled act, The last speaker to appear was the Hon. J. ©, Napier, who has recently deen appointed Register of the Treas- ury of the United States. Hon, Mr. Na- pier has just returned from Washing- ton where he attended a meeting of the trustees of the Jeanes’ Fund. He said he was delighted at the occasion of the evening and was glad of an op- rortunity to express his sympathy With the movement. Mr. Napier is a member of the faculty of Meharry, holding the position of Professor of Medical Jurisprudence. After the exercises in the auditoriura the audience assembled before the hospital where the dedicatory exer- cises were conducted on the steps of the building by Bishop Walden, At the completion of the dedicatory exercises the hospital was thrown open and several hundred _ visitors took advantage of the opportunity to inspect the building. Only One Wing. ‘The present structure represents only one wing of the contemplated building and is a three story brick in- cluding the basement, which is itself a ground floor by reason of the physic- al condition of the location. It occu- pies a space 44 x 64 feet, and contains twenty-two rooms, some of which are large enough to seat a hundred or more students, Construction of Building. The workmanship on the building is in every way first-class and is of a type that makes it equal to modern institutions of its kind. The utmost considerations have been obseryed to make it convenient and hygienic, ‘having an abundance of light and air. A modern steam heating plant has been instalied and is in operation, en- abling the operators to obtain and maintain any temperature desired. Throughout the building is well ap- pointed anj is provided with the most up.to-date sanitary plumbing. The cost of this Wing is fifteen thou- sand dollars, six of which was secured from a fund Which has been accumu- lating for several years, Nearly five thousand dollars was raised by the Hospital Club, most of which was con- tributed by the aiamn{ and present student body. It is said the Freed- man’s Aid Society has agreed to give two thousand dollars toward the build- ing. In addition to the subscriptions already received about one thousand dollars is needed, Several well-known firms of this city were awarded contracts for va- rious portions of the work, The stone work was done by Ward & ‘lair; Norman & Rhodes Co, did the brick construction; the _ plastering was one by Robert Page; the steam heating outfit is from the American Radiator Co.; — Robert Sharp is responsible for the architec- ture, while John H. Adams did the Pate ncee ces Will Serve the Public. In addition to serving the public at large the Hubbard Hospital will meet all the requirements made by the American Medical Asseciation, of which Meharry Medical College is a member, in providing practical clini- cal work, also in the training of nurs- es, Everything necessary for the int- tial opening has been secured and though the institution is in a position ‘to receive many necessities in the form of linen, etc. enough has been ‘secured to Warrant the opening, and ‘Maintain the hospital in running ‘or- ‘der, From time to time as donations are received the facilities will be en larged. Some Generous Donors. The Ladies’ Hospital. Club. has raised $735.53 which has been used in buying furnishings, quice a lveral amount of linen and hospital supplies Were presented at a jien shower Tuesday night, Decem- ber 6. A uumber of individuals and clubs have contributed $50 for fitting up rooms Which will bear the names ot ike donors. Among them are Dr, and Mrs, R, H. Boyd, Dr. and Prof. Burrus, ‘The Young Peopies’’ Missionary -So: ciety of the Pirst Holiness Church of Nashville, Lea Avenue Christian ‘Church, Mrs. .G, W. Hubbard, One hondred dollars was given in memory of Miss K..L. Lyons for fitting up 2 female ward in an upper story. It is expected that several more rooms will be fitted up by private con: tributions, ‘The outfit for the surgical operating room has been purchased from the J. B, Dixon Fund. Dr. Dixon was a graduate of Meharry, Class of 1885. At his death, about ten years ago, he left a small fund to be used for hos. pital-purposes. This was placed at interest. The fund will be used for the maintenance of this room which will bear hie hame. Head Nurse, Miss C. C, Hunt. As was announced in these columns a few weeks ago, the head nurse, Miss C. C, Hunt, of Greensboro, N. ©. a well-trained and proficient nurse, highly recommended and of a pleas- ant disposition, is on hand and has been at the hospital for the past two weeks directing the arrangement of affairs preparatory to the ~ opening. She is a person of large experience and besides being a graduate of one of the leading hospitals of the coun- try, has had the privilege of serving in and visiting many large and well- equipped hospitals, Miss Hunt seems perfectly at home in her new position and expressed herself as being agree- ably pleased with the efforts put forth, She believes it possible to develop a great institution. Patients Want Admittance. So pressing is the need of the hos- pital the authorities were forced to throw open the doors last Friday and ‘accommodate an emergency case. A number of applications have heen re- ceived from patients desiring admis- sion. Class of Nurses Ready to Begin, Despite the fact that the hospital was not ready for occupancy at the beginning of the term, about twelve nurses Were on hand! ready to begin ‘work. Many of them have been in the city for the past three months pursuing their studies and waiting for the opening of the hospital. Already the number of applicants for admission is £0 great it is not pos. sible to accommodate them, and with- in the past few Weeks as many as forty or more have been refused ad ees The Interior. The floors of the basement are ot ‘cement and are well founded so as to prevent seepage and dampness, also to prevent the lodgment of rodents and decaying vegetation. This space has been divided into the following ‘departments: ‘Nurses’ kitchen, nurs- es dining room, linen room, internes’ apartment, admitting room, baths, ‘ete. There is also provided an emer. gency operating room and an emer- gency ward, where the quickest prep- aration possible can be made when time is costly to the life of the pa: ont, ‘The walls are clean and white and the whole is maintained in an jareptle condition, ; Main Floor. At the rear of this floor is located the diet kitchen, There is also a number of wards containing from two to four beds each. The head nurse has an apartment conveniently situ- ated to the right end near the center. A spacious parlor has been furnished by the Hospital Club, which is located to the left of the building and fronting Second avenue, South, The furnish- ings are elegant, comfortable and sub- stantial, Second Floor. At the front of the building on the second floor a iarge suite of rooms, containing sixteen beds, has been equipped for male patients. ‘There is also a large ward for female patients on this floor.
