Her little brother had a diseased limb.
The flesh over the bruised bone would
not heal. The doctors told the father
that unless they could get some little

She offered to lie down and let her ten

felt that in the dangerous operation both
children might die She finally won his
consent. There, for three long weeks, the

1 have chosen this subject of the Ideal
Nurse" for two reasons. First / want to
remove the prejudice which Is harbored
in many minds against hospitals and
trained nurses. Some people think that
The Birmingham age-herald. [volume] (Birmingham, Ala.) 1902-1950, 1903-03-29

a hospital is only an adjunct to a GEM
etery and that a trained nurse In a hos
pital is not nearly as competent or faith
full as the average mother caring for her
sick child. The simple fact Is many a
life would have been saved IL the patient
had been sent to hospital instead of
being kept at home under the parents
charge. Some time ago / was called to
see a young girl sick with pneumonia.
The patient lay in a room that was damp
and cold. The mothers every action
proved she was incompetent to care for
the invalid. / gently told her so and and
suggested that she send her daughter to
a hospital, where she could be properly
cared for. She answered that that was
what the doctor wanted her to do, but
she could not and would not let her
daughter be under any other care but her
own. Within few days the young girl
died. 1 officiated at the funeral. They
had a beautiful casket and plenty OF
flowers, but the whole service seemed to
me a mockery. 1 do not say that mother
killed her child, but 1 do say that If she
had been taken to the hospital and re-
ceived the right kind of treatment the
daughter might have recovered.
Second. l have preached this sermon
because I want to throw wide open door
of usefulness for Christian women. Nurs-
ing is essentially womans work. IL Is as
much a woman's work as caring for
baby is a mothers work. Therefore
want to show to young women neid In
which they can not only make an honor
able living, but in which they can do an
infinite amount of good. Sisters and
daughters Christian girls, 1t Is time for

May God bless today the memory of

bandage and the nurses cool hand upon

the earnest Christian prayer of the ideal
nurse.

knows and then and there refuse to work
anv longer under his orders. She should
do as an officer in the United states army
ought to do. As an officer in the army l
must obey my commanders orders IL
I do not then | am punished but If L
know that my commander is a drunken
incompetent or is following a tataily
wrong policy, then | should nave the
moral courage to hand in my resignation
or to protest to the high authorltles'
That Is exactly what certain officers In
the Spanish-American war did in refer
ence to their orders in Cuba. When the
washington war department wanted to
keep the American army In Cuba after
Santiago had been captured, all the the
generals wrote a public protest TO the
President and that protest brought the
army home. A trained nurse has no
moral right to work under an incompe-
tent physician. BY doing so she becomes
party to his malpractice She should
not disobey his orders Two wrongs never
make right She should refuse to work
for him at all
The ideal nurse should be happy wo-
man. Happy! Why? Because, as King
Solomon wrote "A merry heart doeth
good like medicine" The ripping laugh
makes the croaking owls and the bats
and the vermin. which love to fly or walk
or crawl about in the midnight gloom,
flee for their lives. Happy Why? Be
cause good cheer is contagious as we'll as
Infectious. The nurses smile In the sick
room has the same curative qualities as
the sun bath or an alcoholic rub. And
Yet there are some nurses who go about
their tasks with the soured visage of an
undertaker's assistant rather than with
the radiant face of one who is trying to
cheer up those who are panied racked
and depressed. They never seem to real
ize that true nurses facial expression
should be full of sunshine as well as her
fingers touch gentle and true.
But, outside of her duty toward the
patient, there is another reason why the
ideal nurse should be happy Her life
is one of self-sacrifce. 1t is life which
has in 1t a sweet consciousness that she
is trying to help her fellow men. 1t is
not life of mere money making, as
many suppose. After the trained nurse
has taken out her legitimate expenses
she has little money to save. 1t is life
of sweet and noble sef-sacrifice. In 1899
Mr.. H. c. Fahnestock, wealthy mer-
chant gave $4,000 to endow training
school for nurses because he had seen two
nurses tenderly care for his dying wife.
He knew they were worth all the help
that he gave; he knew that the ideal
nurse whom such an institution would de-
velop was a woman capable of self-sac-
rifice, woman who trusts in Him who

Moral Courage Necessary.

But there is another way in which the
ideal trained nurse must prove her
bravery. That Is when.sh has the moral
courage to refuse to work for an incom-
petent physician. Some time ago one of
the training schools for nurses gave this
question In an examination paper: Sup
posing you positively knew that II you
obeyed the doctors orders to give to
your patient a certain medicine that act
would kill the patient, would you give
it?' Most of the students answered No"
Some answered Yes" l myself believe
that neither answer fully covered the
duty in the case. If there should come
