EXTRACTS FROM ADDRESS OF
REV. e. O. CHELGREN AT THE
GRADUATION EXERCISES FOR
NURSES OF WARREN HOSPITAL
JULY %, '09.

We appreciate the work of our
schools and teachers. Should we not
also value and appreciate the services
OF our doctors and trained nurses?
There is scarcely any earthly blessing
men hold so lightly as health and yet
there is none they so deeply deplore
the loss of when deprived of it. -
Health and disease are the physical
conditions upon which pleasure and
pain, success and failure, depend.
What can person do or enjoy when
laid low in pain and disease? f
From the time of his fall man ha;;
been struggling with the enemy called
disease and death and this struggle
will go on until death is swallowed up
i'll victory. The methods as well rs
the conditions of this struggle have
varied during the ages and among diff.
ferent peoples. To dread, 1oathe and
curse the sick was common heathen
practice Now the Christian spirit, with
science as. it's instrument, has entered
the arena and what is the result?
Instead Of leaving the individual to
struggle for himself against the de.
mon of disease, we now have special
institutions, skilled physicians and
trained nurses fighting for the indi.
yidual in distress.
To be sure our creator has placed
forces and means in nature itself for
battling and overcoming sickness, but
these must be recognized and appro.
priated intelligently and used skillful.
]y in order to be of avail. Hence the
work Of the physician and the nurse,

Modern methods of treating diseases
have caused the demand for trained
nurses. Thus great calling for
which God has endowed woman with
The natural qualifications has been
made into profession. It is a noble
profession. 1t has been questioned
whether it is right aid proper for
woman to enter upon the different
spheres of activity in our time b.
lieve she would do better in keeping
out of some of them. Some are, to
say the least, questionable. In this
calling of nursing the sick and help
less. she enters upon sacred ground,
and the fact that she is not a usurper
is attested by her success and the
benedcent results of her work
Woman, as a rule, is naturally endow.

unostentatious work. No particular
honor, glory or luster follows. No
rlaudits of the multitudes. Her work
is appreciated only by the direct re-
cipients of the services and perhaps
rot always even by these. And yet
there is happiness and blessing to DC
found in thus rendering loving ser.
vice to humanity. Did not Florence
Nightingale make illustrious the
Crimean war equally with the Hot,

What is the cause of disease?

f What is the cause of disease? Sin,
yes, and with it ignorance-self in
qualification of the appetite
food and drink, you even dress, are
causes of poor health and disease.
The patent medicine evil deserves 4
chapter by itself. There are hun
dreds of such subjects on which the
people need to be educated. Who will
do it? The public schools? Yes.
The doctors? Yes, but. they are
generally busy people.
Then there are the spiritual
wants Of the patient. Need I
say that the Christian nurse
should have Christian faith and ex-
perience? She should be able to give
advice and direction in dire spiritual
distresses, which are often found in
patients. Opportunities will be given
to whisper words of peace, and guide
the elring, while the soul takes it's
flight into eternity. The soul must
not be left to perish in trying to save
the body. Y.
l will close with a brief quotation
from Thomas Hood, which beautiful
ly expresses the sacredness Of the
trust given to the trained nurse:
Above the price of wealth
The body's jewel. Not for minds ol
hands profane
To tamper with in practice vain.
Like to a woman's virtue is mans
health;

Railroad News.

Sioux City Tribune: The month of
November gave the Northwestern rail
way an increase in gross earnings.
The November report shows that the
company's gross receipts were $780,
735 larger than for November, 1907.
No statement is made as to the net
revenue. Abe Atkinson also shows a
gain in gross of 1886, 1874 for the month,
and the Louisville & Nashville, Cana
dian Pacific, Southern, and Missouri
Pacific, show gains in gross for the
third week of the month. This looks
like a substantial gain in railway
business, but it must be remembered
mat the same period in last year
found the carriers fully into the worst
of the business stagnation. Among
railways in Sioux City territory bust
ness in November, 1908, appears to
have been not quite so good as for
october.
