theatres with observation room; dispen sary, pharmacy, general office, medical stores, library and rest-room for Euro pean staff; and a native medical orderlies’ room. Staff houses, both European and native, are built close to the hospital site.

European staff includes Dr. Braun, who is in charge; his secretary, a pharmacist, dentist, three nursing sisters, and 15 trained native medical orderlies. There will always be a number of natives re ceiving training in medical work and this field is open to native women now, as well as to the men.

THE cost of this building and equip ment had been donated once again by the Women’s Missionary Federa tion of USA and Canada and amounted to $75,000 (over £30,000 at present rate of exchange). The supervising of the re building of this hospital has been to Dr.

Braun a labour of love and once again he has had to do far more than is ordin arily required of a medical man whose whjje liie is bound up in surgery and healing. As with all great men there is a great woman at his side and without the support of his wife he would not so easily have overcome the many delays and dis appointments.

This time we hope that the results of their work will not be marred by the hostilities and sufferings of war, but stand in the midst of the jungle as a symbol of Christian influence, healing, peace on earth and goodwill to all men.
