Men and women need love and sym.
pathy this whole world round. Human
lty has not changed these centuries and
he who heals and ministers TO the body
gains the confidence of the heart. More
over physical ills are not all the ills OF
| life. You will be the cOnfdaut in many
} trials, the arcana of many secrets, the
revelation of which would brand you
ignoble and unworthy place in your
honored profession.
1t may be your province TO tell 60
aching hearts that death is near; that
the loved and cherished one is soon 60
change worlds, and enter the life be-
yOud. When the shadows begin TO fall,
! the heart TO weaken, the mysterious
changes TO approach, il is the sympa-
thetic heart pointing those who mourn
10 Him who is the resurrection and the
life that helps tighten the burden Of that
hour. DR. Mcclure displayed the same
! kind of love and sympathy that belonged
to Him who said Greater love hath no
man than this, that man lay down his
| life for a friends, " when he told Tommas
/ he must lose his wife.
1t was with his great heart melting
with pity that he said what might as
suage the sorrow of the parting:
"Tommas my poor fellow if it could
avail, tell you | would lay down this
old worn out ruckle of body of mine
just to see you both sitting at the fireside
and the children around you happy and
content again: but its not TO be, Tommas
its not to be-" when | looked at the

A true nurse gives herself to her
friends, for her patients are always her
friends, and her earthly Heaven is the
giving them the service of peace.
OF our profession, yours ana mine only,
is human sacrifice required. We speak of
the patriot sacrificing himself on the
alter of his country Amidst 1.-The
pride and pomp and circumstance of
glorious war, in the martialing Of CO.

screaming of the fife and in the bugle
call TO charge, with the stars and stripes
above him, under the command of a
Shafter, Roosevelt, or a HObson. Who
would count il a cross TO die for liberty?
But young ladies and gentlemen, when
the call comes to you, in solemn and
whispered words TO 90 TO yonder city
beleagured by death, (along whose de
serted streets moves only the sombre
pail of the hearse,) and to enter the
silent house where pestilence is holding
high carnival, to follow the dim light TO
the shaded chamber where. by the couch |
of the dying only the pallid weary, hos
pital nurse is watching; with no eye up /
on her, but the eye of God; no applause, /
no pay awaiting her-when you are /
thus called then you will need to summon
all your manhood and womanhood, all /
of your courage, all of your zeal, all of /
your love of humanity Are You ready .
for that! If not, turn back tonight.
