Today we celebrate the 125th year of The Children's Hospital. We celebrate the medical care, the research, and the teaching of the men and women whose efforts made this hospital great. At this time let us also remember the children for whom they cared. This hospital, the knowledge gained here, the work done here, and the inspiration for the life-work of these great people, all of these, were gifts from children. children who were sick and suffered much to give such gifts. The Plain people call them God's Special Children and value them, love them, care for them, and remember them when they are gone. So should we.
