CATHOLIC CHURCH RED CROSS.
Catholic Church Had Red Cross So
ciety 500 Years Ago.

Stephen H. Horgan in the New
York Evening Post: Now that we
are assisting the Red Cross in such
"a splendid manner it is of interest
to note that the order of Red Cross
nurses, for ministering to the sick
and wounded, originated with SOL
der 800 years ago. This was Camil-
lus de Lillis to whom Pope Siytus v
granted permission to use a red
cross as distinguishing mark Of the
society he was forming and which
Pope Gregory XIV confirmed by
founding the order in 1541.
"Camillus de Lillis by his work as
a nurse and the reforms he brought
about in caring for the sick, both in
hospitals and on the battlefield, was
eventually canonized saint, and
Pope Leo XIII, on June %, 1855,
announced that st. Camill1s- de Lii
lis would be the patron Of nurses,
whether they wore red cross badge
or not.
'.When the late Mayor Gaynor
was shot and taken to st. Francis
Hospital in what was thought to be
a dying condition, Big Bill Edwards
ordered that only the hes: nurses In
the United States should attend the
distinguished patient. The mayor
overheard the order and, in the weak
voice left to him, whispered ] want
these Sisters to take care Of me- And
so, day and night, little Sister o.
st. Francis, with a red cross Of st.
Camillus on her breast, nurscd the
MAYOR back to health"
