LOS ANGEI.ES, May 4.—Dedica
tion of Ellen G. White Memorial Hos
pital here was the occasion for a
gathering from all over the United
States and many foreign countries of
Seventh-day Adventists, by which de
nomination the institution was built,
i The gathering included some of the
denomination's most distinguished
ministers and its high dignitaries.
The dedicatory address was deliv
ered by the Rev. A. G. Daniels, who
' recently was chosen president of the
j general or world conference at the
! convention held in San Francisco, and
j the general conference committee of
i twenty-five members attended in a
body. The dedication program in
| eluded an address of welcome by
! Mayor Frederic T. Woodman and
talks by Dr. William R. Molony of
i the California state board of medical
' examiners and Dr. Percy T. Magan,
j superintendent of the hospital and
dean of the medical department of
Loma Linda College, located near
Redlands, of which the hospital is the
clinical department.
ml. . U.
tire block, will, when completed, con
sist of seventeen buildings of the bun
galow type, attractively grouped about
a court. It will contain 200 beds and,
in addition, accommodations for a
large number of young men and
women students, in training to be
! physicians and nurses. Seven of the
buildings, including dormitories, ad
j ministration building, clinical dispen
| sary and the hydro-therapeutic de
i partments, already have been finished.
The cost of the institution, com
plete, is expected to be about $141,
i 000. Already between $80,000 and
$00,000 has been expended, the money
| being raised among Adventists
; throughout the country.
Mrs. Ellen G. White, in whose honor
j the hospital was named, was the wife
! of the late James White, one of the
founders of the denomination. Her
[life was devoted to phyanthropic
| works. It was largely through her
! efforts, those familiar with the his
tory of the Seventh-day Adventists
I say, that the church turned its ener
gies toward relieving distress anion*
the poor and sick. Mrs. White died
two years ago at St. Helena. Cal.
where an Adventist sanitarium was
built largely through her efforts.

WASHINGTON, May 4.—Represen
tative Daniel R. Anthony of Kansas is
the author of an amendment to the
law providing for the appointment of
chaplains in the army that will make
It possible to select member* of the[
Christian Science faith for such poses. '
Mr. Anthony states that this is the i
real purpose of his amendment, al
though It merely prescribes that chap
lains ‘shall be duly accredited by
some religious denomination or organ
ization and of good standing therein.”
The present law requires certain
qualifications in regard to being regu
larly ordained ministers, which has
been construed to exclude Christian
Scientists. Mr. Anthony’s proposed
change in the law was adopted by the
house without the formality of a roll
call.
Jail for Judge Lynch
‘‘To protect citizens of the United
States against lynching in default of
protection by the states” is the title
of a bill introduced in the house of
representatives by Leonidas C. Dyer
of Missouri. It is the first measure
that has been presented to congress
which undertakes to deal in an ef
fective way with the lynching evil. It
is aimed directly at the county offi
cers who fail to do their duty in pre
venting an attempted lynching, and
makes such failure a crime against
the United States, punishable by a
fine of $5,000 or imprisonment for five
years. In addition to proceeding
against officers of the law who fail
in their duty Mr. Dyer provides that
every county in which a lynching oc
curs shall forfeit a sum of not less
than $5,000 nor more than $10,000, to
be paid to the dependent family ol
the person put to death. To lovers
of law and order it is indeed refresh
ing to read Mr. Dyer’s bill, and it is
the earnest hope of every good citizen
that it may speedily be enacted into
law.
A Disgusting Substitute
In a recent discussion in the house
i of representatives concerning the de
layed transmission of mail from the
United States to our soldier boys in
France. Congressman Gillett of Mas
I sachusetts said: “The latest com
plaint of which 1 have heard was ol
a boy w'ho wrote home saying that
he did not receive any letters, but
that the camp was flooded with tons
of speeches or the secretary of the
treasury: and I can think of nothing
that seems to be more like asking
for bread and being given a stone
than for a soldier boy to ask for let
ters from home and have the postmas
ter general send him a franke i ad
vertis' nent of his colleague in the
cabinet. Secretary McAdoo.”
Say What You Mean
The bill providing six months’ pay
for the relatives of soldiers of the
regular army whose deaths from
wounds or disease result from serv
| ice applies to any "officer or enlisted
i man.” The term "enlisted man” is
| considered dangerously ambiguous by
Representative Edward C. Little of
Kansas, and he is advocating an
amendment that will be sure to in
! elude drafted men. The war depart
■ Inent considers all soldiers as "eu
i listed.' no matter how they may have
I entered the service, but the diction
ary makes a distinction between “en
listed” and “drafted.” Mr. Little con
tends the language should be cleared
up so as to avoid any complications
in the future after the bill has become
a law.
