XI. CONCLUSION 
happened in the world, and of those who might have 
helped us farther, many have been reduced to poverty by 
the war. It will be very difficult to collect the necessary 
funds, which again must be far larger than before, for 
the expenses will be three times as heavy, however 
modestly I replan our undertaking. 
Nevertheless, I have not lost courage. The misery 
I have seen gives me strength, and faith in my fellow- 
men supports my confidence in the future. I do hope 
that I shall find a sufficient number of people who, 
because they themselves have been saved from physical 
suffering, will respond to requests on behalf of those 
who are in similar need. ... I do hope that among 
the doctors of the world there will soon be several 
besides myself who will be sent out, here or there in the 
world, by “ the Fellowship of those who bear the Mark 
of Pain.”
