 A Short Ac:count of a \\ttia: Work ni<:c;uN in Faith. 
 
 " What various iustniniciits the Master usclli 
 To carry on HLs work of grace below ; 
 Some realize the honor laid upon them, 
 Some utter weakness, unci that only know, 
 Lentil their I.ord, in His Divine compassion 
 (When they can hear it\ gently lets them see 
 'J'hat, feeble thougu they are, he deigns to use them 
 And by their means can do most perfectly.'' 
 
 'HE work of this little Hospital has been so dear to 
 me, so mixed up with my everyday life, and feel- 
 lUir what an object-lesson it has been to strenc^^then my 
 faith in the " King of Kings," I thought that it might 
 be a help to others who a^'e travelling along tlie road to 
 the heavenly country, and venture to give a short ac- 
 count of the marvellous way in which I have seen the 
 Divine Hand through it all ; and knowing that I was 
 merely an instrument used b\' Him to do a much-needed 
 work, I began it in His strength. 
 
 At the commencement of the year 1887, wishing that 
 it might be spent usefully in the responsible position in 
 
 /y ^ ^6 C

 which I liad been ])lace(l, and that I mii^ht do sonicthinj^ 
 for His j^l(jry who has been so much to nic throiii;h all 
 tl \se lon,t; years, I made my retjiu'st known to Him, by 
 prayer, asking if there was a work for me to do tliat it 
 mii>ht be made very j)lain, and if He would be my guide 
 and counsellor, 1 would undertake anvthm^. 
 
 The answer to my prayer was like a revelation — that 
 a Hospital was needed for the sick and dying 1 felt no 
 doubt. And the plan was revealed to me that day like 
 the unfolding of the leaves of a rose, one by one, as 
 clear and plain as if a-human voice had spoken to me — 
 I lelt that it was none other than the Spirit of the living 
 (k)D; my mind was wholly concentrated on that one 
 subject, and that alone. When the evening came, it was 
 so mirrored on my brain, so wonderfully complete, that I 
 could see it like a painted j)icture — how I was to do it 
 all from the beginning to the end. To me it seemed no 
 great undertaking. He was the Master Builder, I only 
 His workman, ready and willing to do whatever He told 
 me; and, with one of old, could say, it would be " begun, 
 continued, and ended in Thee.'' 
 
 My first step was to ask the Government for a lot 
 of land adjoining the Government House, which they 
 readily gave me. Then I asked the Editors of the 
 papers to write some articles which would be likely to 
 enlist the sympathy of the public with me in the work; 
 
VICTORIA C'Ori.vClK iiosri'iAi.. 
 
 they were all very kiiul, and helped me in every possihle 
 way. S(jnie of them knew full well what the comtorts ot 
 a Hospital, with good nursing, meant : therefore, eould 
 speak all the more feelinj^rly. Then I asked some gentle- 
 men to solicit contrihntions, and through the press as 
 well 1 shall never forget the fe(.'ling- 1 had when I 
 received a checiue for lift\' dollars — my tirst contribution 
 in Fredericton; it seemed such a good begiiming, and the 
 donor must ha\'e felt gratiiied had he l)Ut known how 
 his gift was received. Hut the very first amount was 
 given by a kind friend in New Jersey, whose name will 
 ever be associated with this work. He sent me plans 
 and all the latest works on buildings ; finall\' from one ot 
 them 1 chose a cottage, thinking that 1 might put it into 
 the hands of an architect to convert into a building suit- 
 able for a Hos])ital. A few days afterwards a gentleman 
 from St. John called, and said he had heard of my inten- 
 tions, and would like to assist me in some way. I gave 
 him the paper containing a design, and he converted it 
 into the pretty little building opened to-day, a " temple 
 dedicated to God in the name of humanity; here all 
 may lay their gifts on the same altar, and in communion 
 listen to the Divine words, 'Inasmuch as ye have done it 
 unto one of the least of these, My brethren, ye have done 
 it unto Me.' " After the collectors had been out about ten 
 days, the books showed over three thousand dollars, and

 celebrate the fiftieth anniversary of Her Majesty's reiit»n. 
 1 lelt that nothin!;^ could be more ajjpropriate than to 
 honcjr our Queen by doin^ something towards helpini; 
 suffering hiunanity, which would remain as a monument 
 to her jubilee year. In it all ccjuld join; those who had 
 not the money to spare could i^ive their time and talents 
 to be employed in a g-ood work that would benefit the 
 afflicted. The Bazaar was to be carried on in a way that 
 even the most scrupulous could not object to. The 
 Government gave me the use of the Parliament Build- 
 ings and grounds, being a most charming place for it, 
 and they assisted me in every way possible to make it a 
 success by their great courtesy and kindness, and from 
 the very start the Attorney ( ieneral and his Council have 
 encouraged and helped me, and 1 shall ever remember it 
 with the deepest gratitude. Also, the Commandant and 
 Officers of "A" Company, Royal School of Infantry, may 
 rest assured that they have my heartfelt thanks for their 
 great kindness during that week. They gave the services 
 of their splendid Band, and aided in every way possible 
 to make the undertaking a success, and on all occasions 
 they have ever been ready and willing to give their 
 assistance in carrying out any plan for the benefit of

 tlu' "Victoria H()S|)ital." Tlu* Pmzaar was t<> Ix' ii'prt'- 
 sented \)y all (K'noiiiiiiatioiis ; two ladies trom each 
 Church were asked to meet at (iovermneiU 1 louse, and 
 consult with nie about the Tables. It was decidetl that 
 each Church should have six representatives, and furnish 
 their own Tables ; and the niorninii the Bazaar oj)eiu-d, 
 it was intleed a beautiful si^ht, and would have done 
 credit to London or New \'ork, for the\' had all tlone 
 their best, and had worked with a will, and evi-r\'- 
 thinm passed off in a pleasant and satisfactory maimer ; 
 and the sum realized was two thousand six hundred 
 dollars, which amply repaid us all for any trouble we 
 had taken, as it meant a i^ood deal towards the lUiild- 
 in^ r'und. And in the coming' years of my life, should 
 I be si)ared, I will often look back to the ] pleasant asso- 
 ciations of that Hazaar week, as it brought me in close 
 relationship with so many of the ladies of P'rederictoii, 
 who have always been ready and willing to assist me in 
 any undertaking, and there are many self- sacrificing 
 women here, who only require the opportunity to de- 
 velop their talents. As an instance of it one kind-hearted 
 woman came to me sometime ago, and otiered her ser- 
 vices for one year. She was willing U) leave her home, 
 and go into the Hospital, and nurse the sick. The otifer 
 I have accepted, and she is now cme of the staff, ready 
 to be called ui)on when required. When I leave here to

 make my liome in another part of the Pro\'ince, the 
 Hospital will, I feel very sure, ne\er need friends. 
 
 There were many interesting^ things connected with 
 the work which tend to show how one event leads to 
 another. While beins^ with one dear to me in a Boston 
 Hospital, a touchin^j tribute was sent t. him, consisting 
 of a box of beautiful flowers, from one who desired to 
 express his gratitude for some never- to- l)e- forgotten 
 words of kindness and advice ,^iven to him as a y( .mg 
 man when leaving- his native land to make a home amoni^ 
 strangers. On my arrival home the thought came { or 
 rather was sent) to me one morning that the same kind 
 heart might be ready to do something for the infirmities 
 of others, and g;i've me some helj) in the work ; and, al- 
 though a stranger to him, I ventured to write and ask. 
 tie at once replied to my letter, wishing me every success 
 in the undertaking, and enclosing a cheque for two hun- 
 dred and fifty dollars towards the fu rl, and also saying- 
 he lit)ped to see his way clear to give annually two hun- 
 dred dollars towards endowing a bed, which he has since 
 done. It was certainly a handsome gif< to his old lujme, 
 and I think that the following favorite quotation will be 
 applical le to hhvi : 
 
 \ 
 
 "A sick ■.:.„a essed t)y thee, shall make thee \vlK>le ; 
 A pocM- man helped liy thee, shall make thee rich ; 
 'I'hoii shalt lie blessed thyself u ith every blessing which thon renderest." 
 
VICTORIA COTTAGE HOSPITAL. 
 
 Then, soon alter, I had a letter iVoni a young- girl who 
 had seen in the papers the proposed pl.M ; she had some 
 years since left her home to earn her lining in the States, 
 and sent me hiteen dollars of her hard-earned wages. 
 That little gilt was certainly very gratilying. A gracetul 
 gift oi' ten dollars was sent from the Svmday School chil- 
 dren of Knox Church. Shediac. Kind friends of mine 
 in Kngland, Canada, the United States, and even far-oft' 
 Italy sent me sums oi money. Young friends in Wood- 
 stock, .St. .Stephen and Bathurst also collected ; nearly 
 every week there came something to encourage me. It 
 was most interesting to watch the fulfilment of every 
 promise. It seemed as soon as the need came for anv- 
 thing- the answer was not far behind it. One generous- 
 hearted man not only gave a large donation, but came 
 and told me he would give me all the cotton for furnish- 
 ing, which meant a good many yards to fit up a Hospital 
 with twenty beds. But it would bring- to him a blessing 
 in knowing- that it would do great good. I have had 
 many gifts : from one friend a fountain for the grounds ; 
 from another the Royal Coat o{ Arms, which will be very 
 appropriate for the " Victoria " Hospital. Pictures liave 
 been sent me from Montreal, and one morning, in the 
 middle of winter, a lame luan came with a \'aluable con- 
 tribution — something that he h.ad made to be used for 
 fractured limbs, having seen them in a City Hospital, 
 
lO 
 
 VICTORIA COTTACiK HOSPITAL. 
 
 and which will be of great use. So many, many thought- 
 ful acts of kindness I have received, and have given such 
 real pleasure to me. The P^os})ital is now built. Just 
 one year ago to-day we were here at the laying of the 
 Corner -Stcjne. For situation, nothing could be more 
 beautiful. Elevated above the water, " the silent river 
 gliding slowly to the sea," and witn the meadows beyond, 
 secure to it a free course for the north-west breezes of 
 summer, while the distant hills add a charm to this scene 
 of beauty which would be difficult to surpass. If this is 
 so delightful to those who enjoy the blessings of health, 
 what will it be to him whose eyes behold it for the first 
 time when he rises from a bed of sickness. 
 
 To me it has been truly a " labor of love " in every 
 sense of the word, and feeling that in the future years to 
 how many it will bring comfort and consolation is an 
 all-sufficient recompense. For here may come the sick 
 stranger, away from his dear ones, when prostrated by 
 disease, and have quiet and kind judicious nursing, 
 under good medical advice. The College and Normal 
 School students wiio lea\'e their homes with many an 
 anxious mother's prayers that God would keep them 
 in health and strength, but should sickness — the com- 
 mon lot of all — overtake them, here they may have good 
 care and the comforts of home, which might be impos- 
 sible to get under other circumstances. Here, also, may

 coniL' the young mechanic, industrious and frugal, who 
 can pay the ordinary charges for board, but who has not, 
 as yet, the means for the extra expenses of sickness, yet 
 with a seh-respect that would lead him to pay reasonably 
 for his own maintenance. F^emale domestics, sick in the 
 faiiiihes of the affluent, may receive the care of those 
 with whom they live, l)ut such care must be uivcn with 
 so much inconvenience that they would gladly place 
 them here at their own ex|)ense, where they can have 
 during their illness what they can hardly obtain in a 
 private tamily. To such the Hos])ital will bring relief, 
 and gladden all hearts. To those who meet with frac- 
 tures, accidents, or wounds (most common among labor- 
 ers), who come directly to the Hospital, its doors will be 
 open both night and day. Some private rooms are pre- 
 pared for those who wish to enjoy the advantages of a 
 Hospital, with constant medical attendance, and who aie 
 ready to pay for the accommodation and services ren- 
 dered. " May those of future years who find relief here 
 bless this work long after we have passed away and our 
 very names are forgotten." The Maintenance Fund is 
 satisfactorily arranged, so that no individuals will feel 
 that they are unjustly taxed, or that it is a burden to 
 them. An annual grant of six hundred dollars from the 
 Government; two hundred from the City; and two beds 
 endowed at two hundred dollars each, one of them

 being by the Woman's Christian Temperance Union, 
 which I feel sure will be the means of doing great good 
 for their most worthy cause; and with Hospital Sunday, 
 which the Clergy have kindly consented to have, giving 
 the collections of that day ; and with paying patients, 
 and, no doubt, occasional gifts, will be ample to sustain 
 it. The Physicians will give their services, two being 
 on duty eacli two months during the year; while diey 
 will be adding to their experience they will be doing a 
 good work for suffering humanity. A Board of Trustees 
 has been chosen, and after it is all in good w^orking order, 
 and matters arranged so that it will not be any trouble to 
 carry on the work; it will then be given into competent 
 hands to manage its future. 
 
 Feeline that before many years it will but constitute 
 the beginning of what may be a large Hospital, and 
 should God spare my life I will look back to this year's 
 work, done for His suffering ones, as the hai)])iest of all 
 my life, and when 1 part with my litde Hospital, it will, 1 
 know, be safe in the Master's hands.

 SiN'CE writing my little book something so delightful 
 has occurred that I think the story would be incomplete 
 without it. 
 
 I have had, I may say, but one wish unfulhlled. My 
 great desire was to have a small wing attached to the 
 House for contagious diseases, as they could not possibly 
 be put into the Wards ; and one night I laid awake for 
 several hours planning this little building, and when it 
 was com|jleted in my mind, the thought came about the 
 expense, and I felt that it could not l)e done (as I would 
 like it) for less than one thousand dollars, so I gave up 
 the idea, thinking that it must be left for some one else 
 to do the work in the future. But, just before the com- 
 pletion of the Building, a message was sent to me from a 
 gentleman in Canterbury, N. B., saying that he intended 
 presenting me on the day of the opening with one thous- 
 and dollars. My th(~>ughts at once went back to my 
 " castle in the air,'' and I recognized in that gift the same 
 kind Hand that had been with me from the beginning, 
 and Who had no doubt put it into the heart of that good 
 man to send me the means to enable me to carry out the 
 only remaining wish. Again I can say, from my heart, 
 tiiai it was " begun, continued, and ended in Thee."
