Sunday Morning Talk
Human Beings as Links.

Pm only link" said one Of the most
useful women in the world laughing!y the
other day. She was referring to the fact
that she had recently been the means Of
bringing together a youth who wanted to
work and an employer of labor who was
looking for that kind of fellow. That Is
Just what she has been doing in one way
and another all the sixty years of her
modest and unselfish career. A wide &C.
quaintance in the working classes together
with an entree into circles of wealth and
has given her the joy and privilege
Of acting as go-between in almost innu-
merable cases. So II there is in her com.
munity middle-aged spinster desirous of
position as fhousekeeper. or lady wanting
a companion for European trip, or
weary mother eager for q helper with her
children, or a young man anxious for
chance to work for his board while taking
a course in architecture or engineering, or
a Sunday school superintendent seeking In
despair a bright teacher for class of rest
less boys, 1T is come to be matter Of
course for those acquainted with the situa-
ton to say: "Oh, go to Miss Greatheart:
she'll know the right party"
We all owe good deal to the people who
serve as links between ourselves and some-
thing worth having. Think over the good

that it can possibly educate. Constanti-
nople however, one OF the most insanitary
cities of the world. is in dire need of
trained nurses. 1t was to fill this need
that the project was carried through dur
ing the last year of a well-equipped train
ing school in connection with the American
hospital, of which DR.. Darlington was sur
geon in charge.
The need of such an institution Is well
shown by a recent report from Constan-
tinople, which states that it was almost
impossible to secure trained nurse In that
great oriental city for the wife of prom
inent American who was stricken with
typhoid fever. According to a formal re-
port that has been received by James s. II.
Umsted, secretary of the American hos
pital and training school for nurses in
Constantinople, it Is the desire of DR.. Car
rington to purchase the site where the old
palace of the paSha Stood, and rear upon
the ruins of the first hospital inner ana
more important institution. The present
location of the hospital is in Stamboul on
the top of a hill overlooking the Golden
Horn and the Bosphorus. 1t has mag
nificent view and is in the heart or a
densely settled district.
The cost of this ground is estimated to
be from $4,000 to $1,000. Efforts will be
made to raise the funds for its purchase
and for the construction OF a new building.
The board of directors of the institution,
which is Independent of sectarian control,
is the Rev. DR.. Henry Q. Dwight, John
Beverley Robinson. the Rev. DIR. Charles

Advices from Constantinople state that
school for nurses. just established under
the direction of DR.. Thomas Specs Car
rington of New York city, surgeon in
charge, has been burned to the ground on
the eve of it's formal opening Occupants
for nearly every bed in the new institution
were waiting for entrance, and a large
number of surgicaf cases had been booked
when the disaster occurred. Fortunately no
patients had been placed in the building,
owing to the necessity for few finishing
touches to the interior. The exact loss is
not as yet known, but is believed to be
about $4,000, part of which is covered by
insurance.
Explosions caused by chloroform and
other drugs stored in the hospital led the
authorities to believe that DR.. Darlington
had stored dynamite in the institution. and
the physician was forced to appear in the
Turkish court to answer such a charge. DIR.
Carrington's reputation andlthe evidence In
the case soon disproved the charge. The
advices further state that everything was
completely wiped out. The loss included all
the furniture of the hospital and of the
private living apartments of DR.. and Mrs.
Darlington and their assistants; supplies of
drugs recently received from London; valu
able surgical instruments of every kind and
description; fine medical library coliected
during the past years of DR.. Carringtons
professional life, and a large collection of
archaeological specimens of great intrinsic
and personal value.
Undaunted by the destruction of the hos
pital, DIR. Darlington has already COM
menced plans for rebuilding. He is now on
his way to London to secure a new supply
of surgical instruments and drugs.

for this institution, which is greatly need
ed in the city of Constantinople, and last
spring his party sailed from this country
after all arrangements had been completed.
For many weeks during the heat of the
summer Drs. Darlington and Wheat as
sisted by Miss Van Anderson, labOred in
this hospital to fit it for the needy suf-
ferers who were seeking entrance. They
had worked early and late to transform
their structure, the former palace of a
pasha. into a modern institution for sur
gerry and medicine. Their pans were COM
pleted and patients were eagerly seeking to
enter this American charity hospital, but
when those gates swung open they saw
that every effort had been for nought
Ten years ago DIR. Darlington and his
wife entered the mission field in Turkey
under the auspices of the American board
of foreign missons-the physician to es-
tablish the hospital. the wife to teach
the women western ideas of home life and
morality. The physician started in
little miserable room at Marsovan. Asia
Minor, with borrowed kitchen table as
an operating stand. From the pitiful start
rose one of the most important hospitals
in the Turkish Empire, and reputation
was gained by the American physician
which brought him the patronage of gov
ernors of provinces and of other high OFF,
Gals who came many miles to submit
themselves to the knife of this foreigner
But one of the most important features
of Dr. Carringtons work was his estab
lishment also at Marsovan, of the first
training school for nurses in the Turkish
empire-one of the greatest needs of the
Orient. 1t took years to overcome the
superstition and prejudice of the native
women which held them back from serving
in any capacity connected with the work of
the western nurse but finally one little
Turkish maid agreed to try. This first
training school has all the young women
