Colony and we are all of us proud ly Chinese organisations in this
gateway are inscribed the words of its achievements.
Over its "Da good with all your heart!" -and from the data of its foun- dation, in 1870, until now succes- sive boards of directors of the Hospital have lived up to the spirit of those words. The direc- tors change annually, and by rea- son of this fact a large number of Chinese merchants have parti- cipated in building up. maintain- ing and expanding a charitable administration which commands the respect and confidence not only of Chinese in this Colony, but of those in China itself, as well as overseas. The hospital organisation, therefore, not only affords relief and succour to sick. suffering and destitute Chinese, but it is at the same time a valu- able. training ground for the Hong Kong Chinese in social service.
