OPINION

BLACKBURN, Special Justice.

The question in this case is whether the Junior League of Nashville, Inc., has discontinued the operation of a home or hospital for crippled children in Davidson County. The Chancellor found the Junior League Children's Home had not been discontinued. The Court of Appeals reversed the trial court. We granted an appeal, reverse the Court of Appeals and sustain the decision of the Chancery Court.
