Foreword by the Bishop

The three reports, to which this is a Foreword, were written by the Chaplain, the Medical Superintendent and the Matron of Jane Furse Hospital. All of them emphasize the same thing — the value before G O D of every human soul. One report speaks of "entering with Divine charity into the lives of the people"; another

reminds us that all ‘‘Human souls have an absolute value in the sight of G O D "; while the third speaks “ of the sacrifice of time spent in prayer offered on behalf of the Hospital and its staff" and thanks GOD for that sacrifice.

The Report goes on to show ‘‘faith working through love,” as it tells of a new church completed at Marulaneng, of a church site obtained in the middle of a most important village of Schoonoord, of the new Nurses’ Recreation Hall recently finished, of the new Out-Patients Department recently occupied, and of a new laundry now roof high.

This Report was being prepared for the press when news of the death of Bishop Michael Furse was received, and it would be incomplete without a word of appreciation for all he has done for the Hospital. For though “ Jane” was started after Bishop Furse left Pretoria, it was largely his enthusiasm and the funds which he raised through some long lean years which have maintained it. So Jane Furse Hospital witnesses not only as a memorial to his daughter, but also to a great Bishop.

May G O D be praised for all the work and prayer offered for “Jane,” and may He bless abundantly all who in any way are

furthering this great work.

THE SEKHUKHUNILAND MISSION

In these days of crisis it is not easy to assess the results or the progress of mission work. During the last year the work of the Church in Sekhukhuniland has been steadily maintained and persevered with by priests, catechists and people alike, and whilst there are some encouraging signs, there are increasing difficulties. It is significant that for the first time for many years there were no catechumens to be baptised at Easter. It has been a year of unrest and growing confusion in many hearts — a year in which dar.Kness seems to have fallen upon so many, and perhaps we must be content to go on through the darkness, confident that as we are all involved in the judgment of God yet we still have in our midst and within ourselves the true Light. As we try to enter more deeply with divine charity into the lives of the people and to share in the circumstances and strains under which we all live to-day so the immediate relevance of our work becomes plainer. On a Christian mission we still have the opportunity of showing the extent and the depth of true Christian fellowship, and it is that which will draw others into the Church.

There is the temptation in mission work to go too fast for the people and it is necessary in all developments to carry them along with the work so that they will rise to their own responsibilities and feel that the work of the Church is their concern. The practical side of this is brought home to the priest when he has to have long meetings with the people so that everything can be discussed and made clear, and the primary need at such times is for abundant supplies of patience.

With regard to the mission work in detail, an outstanding event of the year has been the completion of the new church at Marulaneng. There has been a small yet keen congregation in this village for thirty years, and attempts were made to build a church as far back as 1935, but the building for a number of reasons was not persevered with. The new church has been built on the original site, and its building has been made possible by generous gifts of the people themselves and by members of the Fraternity of the Resurrection, and also by a large gift of money from the Whitby Sisters which they had saved from their work as teachers in W est Africa and which they wished to be used for the benefit of Africans in the Union, This new church at Marulaneng must await its consecration until December of this year when the Bishop will come, but it is already in use. It is the first new Anglican Church to be erected in Sekhukhuniland for twenty years, and it brings the total number of our churches to five.

A church site has been obtained after a long struggle at Schoonoord and we intend to start building there towards the end of this year, and materials are already being collected. This is a

very important village as it is the headquarters of the Native Commissioner and the Police, and the people are much more advanced than in many other villages. As our site is in the centre of the village just off the main road the church will be in a most prominent and strategic position. The number of our church people in the village is small at present but they are keen and anxious that a church should be built.

Mission work in the neighbourhood of Monsterlus on the S.W . side of the Reserve, where there is a mission clinic at present, shows many encouraging signs. Fr. Smith is spending a good deal of time there and is making many contacts, but these are early days as yet and it is not possible to see how the work will develop.

In accordance with the general decision of the Episcopal Synod the mission school buildings have been leased to the Native Affairs Department, and the schools are no longer under our control. It has been decided to close the Secondary School at Jane Furse at the end of 1955 and there are already advanced plans for opening two Government secondary schools in the district. W e have been able to exercise a good deal of influence in the formation of the local school boards and school committees which now have the responsibility for the efficient running of the schools.

The growth in the size of the Hospital and the consequent increase in the number of staff and patients has meant an extension of the chaplain’s work. As most people will realize, it is not easy to put on paper what is involved in that work: there is the regular daily visiting in the wards to be done, the staff to be looked after and encouraged, and opportunities seen and seized when they arise. It is good to see that such a large proportion of the African nurses in training are members of our church. These nurses come for training from all parts of the Union, and the pastoral care of them is work which is done not just for Sekhukhuniland but for the Church as a whole. One notices how very well trained in Church ways and practices so many of these girls are when they come here, which speaks well of the parish priests at their homes and of the institutions where they received their education. W e try to ensure that during their stay with us they will continue to progress along the lines they have been taught. With regard to the patients and those who come to the Hospital for treatment, a Christian atmosphere and a Christian tradition must have their influence and effect upon their lives, even though such influence may be hidden and the effects unseen.

W e have been very much encouraged by the friendly help and co-operation given to us in the mission work by both of our Native Commissioners and their staffs, and by the Government officials with whom we are constantly meeting and having contacts. W e are grateful for this, and trust that such help and co-operation

will continue. In relation to the other Christian bodies at work in the district, although at times a certain tact and carefulness is required both on their part and on our own, yet we on our part have no spirit of rivalry, but realise that there is plenty of work for us here. If the Gospel is lived and proclaimed we may well be thankful. W e should like to thank once more all our friends and supporters who help by their prayers and gifts, and we know that they will continue in their efforts during the coming year.

THE MEDICAL SUPERIN TEN DEN T’S REPORT

There is more than one power within and without Africa, that is challenging the Christian belief that human souls have an absolute value in the sight of God. W hat blessing and peace would result, if each and all could look upon the other regardless of class, creed, or colour as a soul for whom Christ died. This belief in the sacredness of the individual has to be defended, even amongst some who call themselves Christians, and has to be taught and demonstrated amongst the heathen and the pagans who have not heard the good news that God so loved the world that He gave Himself that man might live and live more abundantly.

The mission hospital still has a vital place in the work of the Church to-day, to teach and demonstrate by its work of healing, G od’s love for man, body and soul. This participation in the work of the Church will continue as long as there are doctors and nurses who are able to say with St. Paul “ that the love of Christ constraineth us.” It may be pointed out also, that the mission hospital has still an important role to play in its work on a national basis. Through its appeal to the members of our Church, and to many other people of charitable mind, hospitals such as our own are being built with funds which come 50 per cent or more, from sources outside national funds. They are built more economically, as both our European and African builders and engineers are working for lower wages than they would receive elsewhere. Much is being given pro Deo in advice, planning and materials. The mission hospitals are working mostly in remote places (where it would be difficult and maybe impossible for medical services to be provided and established), by doctors, nurses and ancillary workers who are prepared and willing to live and work often in the back of beyond. For the staff of this hospital I feel I can say we are glad to be able to use our talents in the field of medical mission work and in the service of the state, and that we appreciate the fact that our work is made possible by the grants received from the Provincial and Union governments. That the services rendered by the mission hospital are valued by the state cannot be doubted, for we have received much encouragement and help; the funds entrusted to us for medical work amongst the Bantu people amount not to hundreds, but to thousands of pounds.

Each year has had its own periods of difficulty and its periods when all is going well. Looking back over 1954, I feel that times of difficulty have been outshone by the real progress that has been made. Statistics from year to year must be influenced by many and varying factors, but at least the figures shown can but mean that our services have been appreciated and that “ Jane” still offers in the mind of the people, hope, healing and love. Maternity cases have now risen to 451 for the year as against 429 recorded in our last report for 15 months. The daily average has now risen to 199 patients. Clinic and other figures tell the same story. The

average days stay in hospital is still only 3 weeks, and considering that patients in our tuberculosis wards stay several months, this represents a quick turnover and a maximum use of the beds. It is not desirable that the hospital should increase beyond 200-250 beds, for to go beyond this will tax our resources in staff, and also there are transport difficulties. Our thoughts turn to the clinics which if staffed by a resident nurse will cut down the number of cases that have to be hospitalized. The work at all seven clinics has been encouraging, but it is still very primitive, and unsatisfactory from the point of view of the doctor and patient. The first step must be to provide reasonable buildings where the patients can be examined and treated properly, and then to add a nurse's cottage, and look for a good district nurse. The lack of progress in this plan has been caused by the shortages of cement and labour to build. W e have funds in hand for three clinics and as soon as we start on these we shall need more funds to complete the other four. Whenever possible the church and clinic sites have been combined, but now-a-days, owing to government regulations there have been difficulties. Progress is being made at Monsterlus clinic, and this is due to the generosity of a friend of the hospital who is allowing us the use of a 4 morgen site. A Sister will soon be in residence there, and it is hoped that apart from the general clinic work a small settlement for our T.B. patients will be developed. Sister Withers is undertaking this pioneer work and we hope soon to find African nurses who will be willinq to help.

I hope in my next report it will be possible to say that the re-building is nearing completion. W ork has been badly held up by the lack of cement, and both skilled and semi-skilled labour is difficult to find. Nevertheless progress has been steady, and several portions of our plan have been completed. W e still need funds to complete, and I hope that readers of this report will remember this need.

From all the staff, African and European, Matron and I have received that loyal co-operation without which the progress recorded would not have been possible. Especially have we noticed the keenness of our student nurses and Staff nurses. The examination results have been outstanding, and it is most interesting and encouraging to notice the development in character and ability in our student nurses progressing from the junior probationer to the qualified staff nurse.

In conclusion, may I express the gratitude of all who work here at "Jane.” The financial help and co-operation of the Provincial authorities and Public Health Department have been most generous. Gifts in kind and money have come in a steady flow, and the work has been upheld by the prayers of the faithful. “ Inasmuch as ye have done it to one of the least of these, ye have done it unto M e.”

MATRON’S REPORT

In setting out to write this report, one of the first things that crossed my mind was the fact of Jane’s ” utter dependence on the generosity of others, expressed in so many different ways, by sending money, gifts in kind, by the sacrifice of time spent in prayer offered on behalf of the hospital and its staff. For all the above and for many, many blessings showered upon the work here, I would like on behalf of the staff and myself, to send our sincerest thanks and greetings to all “ Jane’s” friends.

It always gives one a great feeling of confidence to know that Jane has a very loyal and hard working staff, members of which

return to England and then are willino to come back to have another go at the many problems which face them.

During 1954, 1,023 applications were received from would-be student nurses, the tragedy being that only 23 could be accepted for training in spite of many possessing the necessary educational qualifications, and the fact that we have increased the number of student nurses to 60, not including the eight Provincial nurses staffing the Maternity department. The inevitable cry has already been heard, the Nursing School is not large enough, one has to enter the lecture room sideways to get in oneself at all. There were 94 per cent examination passes, and the training school is proud to report that one student obtained honours in the practical portion of the Nursing Council's examination.

The Nurses Recreation Hall was opened in December, 1954, and since then the nurses have looked forward to the doors being opened at the special times. The noise they make is sufficient to tell anyone how much they appreciate it.

May, 1954, saw the new Out-patients Department finished, and the trek from the old to the new took place. The senior orderly is justly proud of his new charge. There are now five trained orderlies employed at the hospital.

The walls of the laundry are now roof high, and the steam equipment awaits the finishing of the building. On completion of the laundry no doubt Sekhukhuniland will feel the draught as every year a considerable loss was sustained from theft from the local clothesline. The new sewing rooms will be incorporated in the laundry building, the object being to run both departments under one supervisor.

Not much has been said in the past about the workers behind the scenes, the domestic staff, some resident, some non-resident, a band of 30 girls doing the daily cleaning, washing-up, and the daily turn-over of washing and ironing. Amongst these girls are some who have worked at the hospital for many years. They are dressed in blue dresses edged with green, and green doeks — not only for the sake of cleanliness but also so that any unauthorized

person will be recognized. W hat some of our missionary ancestors would have said at the heathen girl wielding an electric iron is beyond thought.

The hospital wards are always full and very busy. The main corridor seems to grow longer every month, yet the staff need not be provided with roller skates for the latest instalment is a telephone system connecting one department with another and endless time and steps have already been saved.

Income and Expenditure Account:

In the year under review, a separate Income and Expenditure Account has been kept for the Farming conducted at, and for the sole benefit of the Hospital.

Ow ing to the Hospital s isolated position these husbandry activities have been of great benefit to patients and staff.

C E R T I F I C A T E

W e have compiled the attached Balance Sheet at the 31st M arch, 1955, from the Books, Records and Accounts and Vouchers of the Jane Furse Memorial Hospital and from the information and explanations given to us. Subject to our foregoing remarks and Reports on previous years, we are of the opinion that the Balance Sheet reflects a true position of the Hospital at 31st March, 1955, according to the best of our knowledge and the explanations given to us and as shown by the books of the Hospital.
