Excerpt from Time, 1886, Vol. 4: A Monthly Magazine of Current Topics, Literature and Art
To some may seem a respectable amount for London to subscribe on a single Sunday to the hospitals of the metropolis. Yet what is it compared with London's wants The London Hospital alone costs a year to keep up, and thus the whole of the sum annually gathered from the many millions of the wealthiest city in the world, is barely sufficient to provide for the requirements Of a mere third-rate hospital of three or four hundred beds, let alone one like the London Hospital with eight hundred. When the Hospital Sunday Fund comes to be divided among the many claimants, the share apportioned to each is, compared with the expenditure of the recipient, so unsatisfactory that more than once the question has been raised - What is the good of Hospital Sunday The Opponents of the Fund argue that the general appeal once a year leads the public to give only once a year, and occasions an erroneous impression that this single donation is sufficient in the aggregate to provide a substantial addition to the ordinary hospital revenue. It is alleged, also, that the hospitals dislike the fund, because it discourages public benevolence, and one serious effect of this allegation is, that persons who desire to satisfy their consciences that they are not mean in giving only a threepenny-piece donation to the fund on Hospital Sunday, invoke an excuse which effectually destroys the effect of the most eloquent sermon.
