(2) He sends cards to all Residents who become hospitalized. (3) He provides each Home’s Residents with free printed copies of his Sermons. (4) He provides free Bibles and religious books to those who ask for them. (5) He makes hospital-trips to those Residents who specially request for him to see them at such times.
