Superintendent’s Report.
THE W ELL.
“W hy in the world did you build
a Hospital where there was no wa
ter ?”
Because it was in the m iddle of the
native population of Sekukuniland.
the position was perfect, high, heal
thy and comparatively cool, and we
were told by those who should
know, that if we dug “there” we
would find plenty of water.
W e dug, and had enough water to
built! with. But it was only seepage
or surface water.
A water diviner with a Mansfield
finder showed us the exact spot
where we would get 40,000 gallons a
day at 65 to 80 feet depth, and with
a bit of side cutting at the bottom a
few feet one way, tap another spring
which would yield 15,000 gallons, and
by cutting in a few feet the other
way, tap a third spring to add
25,000 gallons, m aking in all 80,000
gallons a day up the one m ain shaft.
W e are down to 73 feet but only
get about 200 gallons of seepage.
Then the rains came on and the
workmen all left to go and plough
up their lands and sow, and we must
wait until their needs are over be
fore we can continue, which will
probably be in February.
W e have all through taken expert
advice and we could not do more.
W e are very grateful to all who
have subscribed to the sinking of this
shaft.
ft has cost rather over £2 a foot on
account of the exceeding hardness of
the solid granite.
A boring machine wrould have
cost considerably more than this,
partly because of the great expense of haulage.
H A RV EST P RO SPEC T S .
W e hope for a very good harvest
for the people as we have had really
good rains, which began back in
July.
'I he rainfall for 1925/6 was 10.08.
The rainfall for 1926/7 was 12.50.
The rainfall for 1927 up to Febru
ary 29, 1928, was 21.0 and there is
plenty more to come, so we rejoice.
PERSON N EL .
During 1927 Dr. Ethel Sm ith re
tired from the staff. Only those who
have lived here can know what she
got through. She tackled the work
with great spirit, anti in a way for
which “Jane” will alwavs be grateful.
W hen Dr. King left she took over
all his work, not only that of the
hospital in general, but that of the
district surgeon as well.
One felt absolute confidence in her
diagnosis and treatment. She always
seemed to know at once. And she
was a skilful, fearless and successful
surgeon, and we know that the work
she has taken up at the Bridgm an
Hospital w ill benefit greatly by hav
ing secured her.
D R . FR A S E R EAGLE.
Then we had for about 15 months
as District Surgeon Dr. Fraser Eagle,
and it is mainly to h im that our ring
of out dispensaries is due. These he
began so as to get at the people who,
though ill, found it too far to come
the 25 miles to the Hospital, and so
he visited them, some weekly, some
fortnightly, and thus carried the
w’ork of “Jane” to those who could
not come to her.
W e are grateful to him , for this is
now proving of great service and is
being extended.
W e are glad to hear of his appoint
ment on the resident staff of the Pre
toria General Hospital.
W e also received help for a short
time from his brother, Dr. Crichton
Eagle, as locum tenens.
N EW APPO IN TM ENT .
And now in the place of these we
count ourselves happy in having se
cured Dr. John Chitty to step into
their shoes and carry on. He was at
W inchester and Oxford, and trained
medically at Guys Hospital. He also
served a time at the Staffordshire
General Hospital. To h im and to his
wife we offer a glad welcome. W e
have built them a little house, but
he is so full of ideas and experiments
that before long it should be some
thing to come to see.
Towards the cost of this house we
thank the S.P.G. for a grant of £100
from the Marriott Bequest.
THE H O S P IT A L CAR .
This is a perennially amusing item
as each year we talk about a differ
ent one.W e sold the latest Ford after it had
done 1G,000 miles, which is about the
lim it that a car w ill do on the roads
and tracks over which the doctor
has to take it, but he himself w ill
probably write about i t ; except this,
that now and again it gets laid up,
so then he takes a bicycle, and the
other day when that was laid up too,
he RAN there— about 10 miles.
He continues the out-district dis
pensaries that D r. Eagle began and
has extended them, and he is rather
more “out” than “in.”
A D D IT IO N TO P R O P E R T Y .
Mr. Brocklehurst, who gave us the
land on which the Hospital is built,
has added a generous gift of about
5 acres so as to enable us to enclose
a water hole from which nearly all
our water comes.
Mr. Neser, of Middelburg, surveyed
it for us, and returned the fee as a
donation.
LO C A L S U P P O R T AN D
K IN DNESS.
O ur neighbours have been very
generous in giving us the proceeds
of two social evenings, am ounting to
nearly £50 ; and we cannot estimate
nor attempt to specify what has been
given us and done for us times out
of number in the way of fruit, vege
tables, m ilk, grain, young trees,
free transport, Christmas gifts, help,
kindness and hospitality from such
friends and neighbours as Major and
Mrs. Hunt, Mr. and Mrs. Yeats, Mr.
and Mrs. Barnard, Mr. Baxter, Mr.
and Mrs. B illingham , Mr. Brenning,
Sergt. and Mrs. Devlin, Mr. Grusch-
lowsky, Messrs. Kier and Schulmann.
Mr. J. H ill, Mr. and Mrs. McKelve.v,
Mr. P. Mills and Mr. and Mrs. Kuhl-
tnann. Besides others.
W e are grateful for the free gift
of “The Star,” a Johannesburg daily
p ap e r ; and for other papers and
periodicals from England, many
through Miss Kirkpatrick.
O T H E R THANKS.
To the Bishop, on whose heart and
shoulders comes all the real anxiety
for this place and work, and to the
members of the committee, we ten
der thanks for all they do for us in
meeting in Pretoria for our welfare,
as well as for the safeguarding of the
interests of the public which support
us.
And to the Rev. E. Herbert, for on
top of all his scattered parish’s work,
he took over the heartbreaking finan
cial work of the Hospital, and only
those who have tried to tackle it
know what that means. Mrs. Her
bert know s! And to her we offer
thanks for very much and frequent
hospitality.
Mr. Herbert has brought the busi
ness side into ship shape order, and
so in taking it over to be worked at
the centre, if it does not continue to
satisfy the auditors, the blame will
be mine.
A gift of 11 tons of coal was offered
us by the Tavistock m ine at Wit-
bank as a gift, and to show how
costly it is to live out here, we had
to decline it, because of the cost of
getting it here.
The coloured children of the Good
Shepherd Home in Johannesburg
sent us enough money to buy a case
of codliver oil for the fattening of
children who have suffered through
lack of nourishment.
Messrs. Allen and Hanbury assist
ed in this.
W e are indebted to the Transvaal
Adm inistration for its annual grant
of £237. And to the Health Depart
ment of the Union Government for
its annual grant of £ 200.
W e are trying hard for grants from
other bodies which we feel might
and could help us.
ST. ALRAN ’S D IO C E SE ,
EN GLAND.
It is a fact which is perhaps not
known by all who know of this
Hospital that the offerings made at
every Confirmation service held in
the diocese of St. A lban ’s are given
to this Hospital. And every parent,
and every one of those w'ho receives
the gift of the Holy Spirit through
the laying on of the hand of that
Rishop, know that their thankoffer-
ing goes to help to heal the bodies
and the soids of a people who are
wonderfully answering to the call of
their Saviour, and all due to the
child of that Bishop.
I wish they could see and know
the real awakening that is begin
ning to appear and then they would
be glad that their money is so used
W ithout that yearly sum of all
their offerings, this work could not
continue.
THE C H IL D R E N O F “THE
K IN G D O M .”
A very special word of thanks we
owe to Fr. Rum bo ld and his band
of Children of “The Kingdom ,” for
the gift of their Lent Savings. It bears
its own reward, for “Whatsoever ye
have done for the least of these my
brethren ye have done it unto ME.”
BUSINESS.
PLEASE ! May correspondence,
money, goods, parcels, etc., A LL be
addressed or sent to:—
THE SECRET A RY ,
Jane Furse Memorial Hospital,
via Middelburg, Transvaal.
P A R C E LS FR O M ENGLAND.
Please state the exact value only,
for if you state a higher value, then
we have to pay Customs Duty on the
H IG H E R value.
W hen sending AN Y articles by
post, it saves the Post Office much
work and ourselves much delay if
such articles are stated and valued.
The Railway sends a motor bus to
the Hospital every Thursday. The
passenger fare is 25/- single, and the
charge for goods is 2/5 per 100 lbs.
DEBTS.
There is about £170 in outstand
ing debts owing to us by W H IT E
patients. This is one of the causes
which keeps this Native Hospital in
debt.
V IS IT O R S .
W e have had many visitors,
amongst whom we remember, Pro
fessor and Mrs. Rheinallt Jones, Pro
fessor W ellington, the Bishop, the
Archdeacon, Mr. R. W . Swarbreck,
and Sister Elsie Katherine.
Next year we hope to see here, the
founder, Bishop Michael Furse, and
Fr. Bull, S.S.J.E.
SOUTH A FR IC A N SUPPORT.
I would like you to notice the won
derful increase in subscriptions and
donations and Church offerings from
South Africa, and well over £100
from the Johannesburg Diocese
alone.

Medically speaking this has been a
somewhat uneventful year. The han
ding over of the work by Dr. Ethel
Sm ith on May 29th has resulted in
some d im inution of the numbers of
European patients treated, and a
considerable decrease in the num
ber of operations performed. Other
wise work has gone on as before.
District dispensary trips have been
going on alternately, the long one to
Magalies and N’Koanes, 50 and 75
miles respectively, the short one to
Pokwani. These long ones are paid
for by Government, and give us an
opportunity of getting to know the
district. The Magalies dispensary is
now well established, and averages
about 20 patients. The other is still
in its infancy, that side of the dis
trict being decidedly less civilised
than the other, and it is really a
case of quietly propaganding modern
medicine among people who still be
lieve largely in their own native
methods of healing.
Yet this side has produced one
golden opportunity.
The Chief of Mphanama, one of the
kraals on this run, has given a room
in his own house for use as a dispen
sary. He was himself for quite a long
time in Hospital under Dr. Sm ith,
and had cataract operations per
formed on both eyes, and this gift is
a fine piece of gratitude for his treat
ment.
Ultimately it may prove a stepping
off place for a new venture, i.e., the
starting of small permanent casualty
clearing stations out in the kraals
themselves, under the charge of na
tive nurses.
A N O T H ER H ELP.
A second gift of a like nature has
been the loan of a hut, newly done
up for the purpose, by Mr. Brenning.
This hut stands on the top of the
ridge on which Pokwani stadt lies,
called Nebo, and commands magni
ficent views, so that the weekly dis
pensary held here on Thursday af
ternoons comes something in the na
ture of a half-holiday.
E U RO PEA N CENTRE.
Moreover it is a better centre for
the local European population than
the Hospital, and many of these have
made good use of it already, as it
saves them the extra 24 miles to the
Hospital and back.
C H E V R O LE T AM BULANCE
L O R R Y .
This was purchased in the m iddle
of August and has proved of real
value, ft covered over 5,000 miles by
the end of the year.
A fairly complete array of medi
cines is carried in the seat boxes
which run down each side, well
made by our own carpenter, Steph
en, and with dressings, ointments,
water and surgical instruments, the
whole forms a very handy little trav
elling dispensary or surgery.
ON E O F TH E M ANY M IRA C LES
W H IC H H A PPE N AT “JA N E .”
It was saved, by a miracle, from
being completely burnt out, w ithin
five days of its arrival. The tank un
der the driver’s seat was being filled
at night, by the aid of a storm lan
tern, when some of the fumes caught
fire and all the seat and woodwork
near the driving wheel were soon
ablaze. And yet, w ith the tank open,
and the open tin of petrol standing
by the gear lever, none of the petrol
caught fire, and the flames were ex
tinguished by a wash basin of water
thrown on to them, before any seri
ous harm was done. In fact, we
were using the car next day.
Miracles do happen at “Jane.”
W ith in Hospital itself work has
been quiet, except for a real rush of
patients both native and European in
the first quarter of the year.
One rather dramatic operation
was the removal of a 14 lb. tum our
from a patient who herself weighed
hardly more than 6 stone ; and in
spite of some exciting moments dur
ing the operation she made an un
interrupted recovery, and is alive to
day, to refute the native doctor's
diagnosis of a snake in her inside.
But the normal day is a quiet
round of duties, quite enough to keep
Sister and the Matron busy, but leav
ing the doctor practically free for
out-patients and district work.

The Matron’s Report.
This year has brought m any things
into our little Hospital world to re
lieve the monotony of life.
First there is the interest of our
selves. Dr. Sm ith and Dr. Eagle have
shared the Hospital staff quarters, so
we were sad when it was broken up,
and they left for other work.
Then the opening of a new chap
ter by the com ing of Dr. and Mrs.
Chitty in May, and the new every
thing that they brought from Eng
land with them.
They also shared in the staff quar
ters for six months, whilst they
watched their new home go up.
NATIVE STAFF.
There have been changes in the
native staff, but all for the good of
those who have left, and to our glory,
for they have gone to get a bigger
experience elsewhere and we hear,
are reflecting credit on their life and
teaching here.
Two of the nurses have been pre
pared for Confirmation and are now
fidl members of the Church.
It is a constant com ing and going
of in-patients, w ith many wonderful
cures, hum anly speaking impossible.
W e get a good deal of gratitude more
often felt than understood, for langu
age is still a bar between their
m inds and ours.
The Hospital buildings are beauti
ful, but they leave something to be
desired, especially in the wards
themselves. They are cold and bare
and need to be more homelike to at
tract. The floors are of hard, cold,
grey cement, w ith stoeps or veran
dahs all round so that the sun never
enters.
O ur patients’ usual method of
night rest is a blanket on a mud
floor. But m ud floors in a hospital
would never do, and just a blanket
for them when sick would also not
do. They do not like the usual hospi
tal bi lls, they were too high, and they
used to fall out of them, but this has
been remedied by culling them
down. So we now have mattresses
on the floor and they seem happier.
Then most patients are up during
the day and the question of where
they shall sit and amuse themselves
has to be solved, for the stoeps are
w ind and rain swept, and in the hot
weather there is too much sun.
W H IT E PATIENTS.
O ur white neighbours also come
and go fairly often as you w ill see by
the in-patient numbers, and we hear
that we stand as a real haven of rest
to them in their troubles.
W A T E R AND DEBT.
Difficulties there always are, and
one always stands out, and that is,
wanting more than we ever get. The
drought and famine have hurt all
round, and the hampering force of
debt has taken the life out of some
of us.
W ater trouble still remains as the
new well has not yet fulfilled its
promise.
The h'elp-one-another motto works
well around us here, and we have
m any friends both European and
African and Indian.
Year by year we look for and get
a bale from the S.P.G., which sup
plies needs, and some luxuries for
patients and staff in the way of
household linen and clothes.
To all who so generously give of
their labour and goods we are deep
ly grateful.
ID A C O R D O N .
The Sister’s Report
The native nurses make good pro
gress, but they seem just to get used
to Hospital routine and to us, when
the time comes for them to leave to
complete their training elsewhere.
From the time the girl enters here
either from home or school, she has
to learn to know “why” she has to
do certain things, and to learn to be
observant, and later to understand
what it means to be responsible ; and
the two years of elementary train
ing are not at all too much, and we
are naturally sad when their time
comes to move on.
BEW ITCH M EN T .
O u r patients are always a source
of great interest apart from the me
dical side, and it is worth while to
try to probe below the surface of
their m inds and find out what they
are thinking.
The suggestion of bew itchment is
no doubt from evil spiritual powers,
and should be destroyed by good
spiritual powers.
It is sad to watch what havoc can
be made of a life, and what unex
plainable fear can possess the m ind
of a patient who is said to be be
witched. W e come across these cases
so often, and it is hard to undo the
former suggestion of bewitchment.
W e often find that patients of vari
ous Christian denominations have
visited witch doctors before trying
the white m an’s medicine. W e had
such a case recently.
A chief came from a long distance
for a small operation, having previ
ously paid the witch doctor a cow
for his advice. But, the chief said,
“My complaint defeated the doctor.”
After the operation here the chief
was so overjoyed w ith the result,
that he said he would go home and
send a wagon with others of his tribe
who were sick to the hospital.
W A Y F A R E R S .
These are the native equivalent of
the G irl Guides. This year Empire
Day was a red letter day for them ,
for under the 'leadership of Dr. Ethel
Sm ith they gave a display and held
sports.
Through the kindness of friends, a
feast was provided and prizes given.
A ll our European friends in the dis
trict came, and several chiefs.
The wayfarers gave a demonstra
tion of First A id, which afforded
great fun and surprise.
W e are striving to carry on suc
cessfully this movement which Dr.
Sm ith started, its aim being to make
healthier, happier and more indus
trious native homes, through our
girls in the future.

The Mission.The Mission does not ask for
much, just three sums of £2 a month
for three native Catechists or Evan
gelists, and three sums of £2 a
m onth for three school teachers.
It is from the schools that we get
our hearers, and so schools are es
sential in the villages. The .lane
Furse School, which is registered by
the Government (i.e., the Govern
ment pays the two teachers, and
sends an Inspector to examine) had
a very good report this last quarter,
but we w ill probably not get con
verts from it because most of the
pupils are Wesleyans and Lutherans.
It is from the village schools that
we expect to get hearers; bu t the
teachers we have to pay ourselves
as well as school expenses.
W e must reopen at Mohlnletse
next year. This is adjoining Sekuku-
ni, if we get the money.
Then this being a place of dis
tances, every place is 10 miles off
and 10 miles further and the going is
bad. W e had to replace St. Saviour’s-
St. A lbans’ cart and mules with a
Chevrolet motor car. In this they re
tain their share, as the proceeds
from the disposal of the mules, etc.,
have gone into i t ; and the money
(hat is sent from St. M ark’s, Wool-
ston, also goes into it and its jotir-
neyings.
W e have only paid half the money
for the car so far.
The Rev. Augustine Moeka, having
been made Assistant Director of
Missions, has to leave his parish and
his people for six months in the year
while he travels around the other
mission stations of the Diocese, in
specting, encouraging and advis ing ;
and so you see the necessity of the
car, as I have to carry over his work
in his absence.
The Bethlehem story was enacted
by the Marashane Wayfarers, native
G irl Guides, at three places before
Christmas, and it must have been a
lu ll) in making the facts more un
derstandable.
Mrs. Sabbath Moeka, the mother
of our people, has one of our own
young men, trained at the Diocesan
College of Grace Dieu, as her fellow
teacher in the Jane Furse School,
John Mallejoane.
Another Marashane young man
named John Mahlase, from the same
College, has just taken over the
school at his own village. He is also
n beautiful wood carver like those
men of Oberammergau. I am jubil
ant in having these two helpers.
Mooifontein or Marashane is really
the centre of the. Mission work, and
so it is hoped (o build (he big cen
tral Church there and not at the
Hospital, and the present Church
w ill (hen become the school.
O 'tr needs for 1928 are :—
£ ”2 to pay wages of 3 Catechists.
£72 to pay wages of 3 School
Teachers.
£135 balance on car.
£150 towards white priest’s wage.
The rest I th ink we can raise our
selves in school fees, church collec
tions, church dues, and grant from
hospital.
.1. RO N A LD M OFFATT
THE NATIVE P R IE S T ’S W O R D S .
I am trying to teach our Christians
themselves to spread the Gospel
among their people.
The Gospel w ill never bring in
heathens if only the Priest or the
Catechist preaches.
Every Christian must be a mission
ary himself and herself.
So at the beginning of the year we
all meet and make a feast and in
vite the heathen and we mix with
them as friends. Then I give my peo
ple a text for the year. That for 1927
was St. Luke IX 23-26. And at the
end of the year each one has to show
what he or she has done, and how
many new converts have come
through their lives.
The text for 1928 is Ph ilip ’s words
to Nathaniel— “Come and see.”
O ur blessed Lord’s method was to
call and train a few, and send them
out to spread the good news. So that
is what we are trying to do, not only
here but in the other mission church
es of the Diocese.
The early Church spread quickly
because every Christian felt he had a
duty to do for others, and wherever
he went he would tell the people
with whom he stayed about the love
of God, and about Jesus Christ.
W e ought to be able to do the
same, but people of the modern
church seem to be ashamed of their
religion.
But we are trying this method and
many heathens are brought in, not
so much by what we say, but by the
way we live, and by our willingness
to help the heathen.
C H U R C H DUES.
O ur people are paying their church
dues well. W e call them Church Shil
lings. Every m an pays 1/- a month,
every wom an pays 6d., and every
child 3d. if they can.
If they have no cash, they pay in
eggs, or bead work, or else they
work for Father Moffatt at building,
or clearing land.
Now I pray that every Christian
w ill do the work of God as a mission
ary, and all w ill be well.
