In the beautiful Memorial Day Order OF Emma
b. Lowd, Department President OF Massachusetts,
we find this tender and thoughtful injunction: Do
not forget the army nurse for in honoring their
memory you are paying tribute to some of the
grandest souls that ever wore the form of women.
Unpaid, many of them almost unrecognizcd and
unthanlled, save by the blessings breathed from
the lips of the wounded or the dying they minis
tered unto, by the lonely and aching hearts to
whom they sent the last message. Most of them
had tic of blood in husband, son. father or
brother to urge their sefsacrItice; only the divine
instinct of humanity and their undying loyalty TO
| principle and country that knows sex race.
For all they were to yours and mine and for all
n We rFTyn
so much, remember them to-day"
