Address BY ST. Paul Man.
Rev. Oberschulte of st. Paul de-
livered an eloquent sermon to the
to the noble work in which as nurses
they were now to engage. He took
his text from the Apostle Paul's
memorable words to the Corinthians,
Faith, Hope and Charity, but the
greatest of these is Charity" He
told of the olden times and how men
asked the question, What does the
most good to strive for in this world?"
Various answers were always given,
but since the days of st. Paul, the
apostle, philosophers have said that
Faith, Hope and Charity were the
greatest things to strive for.
'Why did Paul put Charity first?"
asked the speaker. Faith in Jesus is
certainly lHe greatest lHlIlS III lIic
world. Why does st. Paul say that
Charity is the greatest? Because
Charity is love, and embraces both
Hope and Faith The apostle put it
first because it means all the others,
and is the whole"
Conplimented the Nurses.
Rev. O5erschulte then compliment
ed the nurses on their choice of
vocation, in which their duties were
to be for the relief of the sufferings
of mankind. He stated that they had
chosen vocation where they could
consecrate all their efforts to Jesus.
Love and service, faith and hope,
were essential parts of their work
The love of Jesus and of mankind was
the foundation of the work which
they were undertaking. In heather
lands there are no hospitals or
places Of charity, he told them, as
these are all the outcome of that love
toward God and mankind that makes
Christianity. The love of Jesus is the
foundation of successful service.
Like Peter of old, who answered the
Lord three times that he loved him,
and Livingston, the African mis-
sionary, whose work of love lives
after him, the nurses were to be sus-
