from Miss Nightingale offering her serv-

When she reached the scene Of war.
conditions were deplorable. 1t was the
testing moment of her life This delicate,
high-bred woman showed the mettle she
was made of. The manner in which she
battled with red tape and OfficialiSm to
bring order out of chaos in the huge
caravansary of suffering humanity has
been eloquently told by kingiake. She
was the lady-in-chief accredited by the
government with the control Of the nurs-
ing in all the hospitals. both on the Bos-
phorus and in the Crimea, Ehere the
soldiers lay and in the execution of her
task she brought some criticism upon her
head, but she won the everlasting thanks
of the soldiers.
Miss Nightingale spent year and
eight months in the Crimea. and not I'M
til peace was declared did she quit the
scene of her heroic labors. And modest
woman as she was, upon her return
home she travelled under an assumed
name to avoid a public ovation. and went
quietly to her family at Lea Hurst.

Francis Bennoch has beautifully said:
Neglected. dying in despair.

To sooth them with her gentle care,
And feed life's Pickering fame.
When wounded sore. fever rac,
Or cast away slain.
She called their fluttering spirits back,
And gave them strength again.
People Of all classes subscribed to
fund that amounted to more than 100000
as testimonial upon her return home,
but instead of using this money for her
own purposes. she endowed the Nightin-
gale Home. the pioneer Of nurses train
ing schools The remainder Of her life
was devoted to furthering the spread OF
hospital and nursing reform
Miss Nightingale's devotion to human
ity throughout the terrible Crimean
war has been the admiration Of the world

generations will rise up to bless her on
