Rostrevor Hills (Ireland) Hydro

By HORACE J. WILLIAMS, M. D.

On the evening of Aug. 31, 1908, in the drawing-room of the Hydro, we celebrated the graduation of our first class of medical missionary nurses, who began their course of training in 1905, in the Belfast Sanitarium, which was afterward succeeded by the Rostrevor Hills Hydro. This institution was in charge of Dr. and Mrs. J. J. Bell. The last two years of the course were spent at this place. Mrs. Williams and myself have been associated with this class and this institution during the last school year only.

The class consists of three young women and one young man. Two of the members are from Ireland, and two are from England. All are earnest Christians, fully determined to devote their lives to the cause of truth, to spend and be spent, not only in the medical missionary work, but in the whole message and for humanity.

The members of the class are Misses Edith Escott, Elizabeth Patterson, Jane Mussen, and Mr. Edwin Brown.

The Lord has prospered the work at this place during the past year, for which we are indeed grateful, and give him all the praise and honor. The one desire of all in this institution is to make this place a beacon light for this truth in

Catholic Ireland. We ask to be remembered in the prayers of God's people everywhere.
