THE SUMPTER MINER
i"?
HOSPITAL AND ACADEMY.
To the Editor of Thk Mixkk : Rumor
lins it that the sister's hospital ntul
academy will ho located at Whitney in
etead of at Similiter, and some think
that the Catholic church in making nde
cided mistake in favoring Whitney, etc.
To correct and to pacify minds of m
prehension, I wish to state that the
sister's hospital and academy will be
built where they are needed and wanted,
not in words but in deeds. They are a
great and continuous uxcusc to the
Most Hev. Archbishop A. Christie, to
the priests and to the sisters in the thin
ly settled country of the west. Resides
this, their work, their time and their
troubles are without remuneration, other
than oftentimes impudent criticism.
This is not all, and every fair minded
man will not blame the Catholic church
for not building its beuettcent institu
tions to all alike, when she is forced Jo
pay here or there a premium on build
ing material to Individuals who seem to
have a patent on all the natural, the
plentiful, and the gratuitous' resources of
a laud of abundance and of liberty.
Lumber, for instance, in a tim!cr coun
try like this, can be put on the market
for from 7 to $15 icr thousand feet,
with good business profit. Half of its
present cost is an unnatural premium on
it. The same can be said about other
lines.
The object of tho Catholic church is
not to enrich certain selfish Individuals,
but to help the whole community on
equal terms. It is charitable enough on
the part of the church to work for noth
ing for the public; but when, through
unreasonable prices for nature's abund
ant gifts in some selfish hands, she has
to pay a premium for an opiortuuity to
work for a community, and that for no
returns, such a course does not come
within the line of justice or charity; nor
does anybody help to build a church, a
hospital or an academy by subscribing
f25or$5(),if he exccts his bait to return
with a big tlsh through an unwarranted
premium on material or goods. The
Catholic church will not make amistuke
by avoiding such a bait. Any expecta
tion for returns other than from a larger
and more prosperous community,
through our institutions, is styled as sti
lish and not Minimi, nor will it lie suc
cessful. If these institutions are worth much
to the community, thu community will
do much for them; if they are north
nothing, the community, b losing them,
will lose nothing, and the Archbishop,
'. the prlestk and sisters will have so much
less sacrifices and troubles of all kinds
witli not less returns. We like to sow
tho seeds on good ground where It will
grow into an abundant crop for all alike,
and not sow it on rocks to become the
prey of vultures More it grows.
There are many sincere and good
thinking people in Sumpter, estweially
amongst those not of our belief, and
their charitable supiort, both moral and
financial, were duly considered by us,
but we will never allow that those peo
ple's charity, with our own, will go into
tho private ockots ol narrow minded
business men for private and selfish pur
poses, which are entirely opposed to our
plans and methods. The Catholic
church, a sister's hospital and a sister's
academy have always and will always
build up a favorable commuity in a fav
orable place. Johki'h Scmki.i..
