made for the placing Of these in the public
That we seek to enlist nurses as allies in
temperance teaching. While the position
Of the nurse Is oftentimes difficult, we are

shortly before his death, II do not be
Heve that. as a people, we can Afford 10

from which those who study IT in spirit and
truth will derive strength Of character, q
realization OF the duty Of citizenship and q
and mercy Of God"
