institution, says the day begins in
the morning at 5:30 o'clock, con
tinues with a full schedule at the
hospital, and concludes in the eve

or in special study projects.
A typical day at the hospital was
described by Dr. Thaeler in his talk
made Wednesday morning in ex
panded chapel. lie came to this to
conduct a ten-day miiraion for the
Moravian churches in the province.
He will return to his hospital Mon-
