The second great course that
wish To make mention OF is the new
Nursing Course. The aim of this
course is 10 train girls for practical
work in their home communities.
The course extends over a period of
rs months, including two months
vacation.
The work is taken i'm our new and
splendidly equipped hospital and is
a combination Of practice and the
Dry. This combination will prepare
these young women TO cooperate
with the physician in their neigh
borhoods and do the type of nursing
which is needed.
At the end Of the eighteen-mOnth
term the young woman who has
completed the work and passed the
examination will receive a diploma
certifying that she is qualified TO be
a practical nurse.

Ia 1916 the brewers of the United

We have heard that il is an easy
thing 10 take candy from a baby,

The candy makers are being put
on short allowance. The brewers
are using all the sugar they choose.
Possibly if the candy makers
would join the German American,

be limited.
Maybe even the baby would fare

NATIONAL CALL TO PRAYER IS
SUED BY WARTIME COM
MISSION OF THE CHURCHES

The General Wartime Commits
sion of the Churches, which re-
presents the United Protestant
forces of America, has issued a call
to prayer upon the request of the
War Service Commissions of the
various denominations. suggesting
that Thanksgiving Day be devoted
to our customary Thanksgiving,
Friday to penitence and humiliation,
Saturday to supplication, Sunday to
intercessiOn."
The Call. which is signed by DR..
Robert f. Speer, Chairman, by Bish-
Op William Lawrence, Vice-Chair-
man, and by DR.. Frank Mason North,
Presidet of the Federal Council of
Churches of Christ in America,
MATES:
Our generation confronts the
gravest and most solemn issues.
Twice eur fathers faced such issues.
at the beginning of the nation and
in the tragedy of the Civil War.
And now our time of supreme need
and trial has come. How can we
meet il except in guidance and
strength of God? By our own ne
cessities and by the distress and
calamity of mankind we are sum-
moned to prayer. In the name OF
the Churches we voice this sum-
mons to all our people.
I'VE ask that in our places of
worship and in the secret prayers
of our hearts, these days be solemn
ly observed that the nation may
seek after God and find Him. And
we suggest that not only during these
four days should all the Christian
people of our land join this united
prayer and supplication. but also
that in our homes and as far as
possible in our churches, there
should be daily intercession that we
may both know and do Gods right
eous will. that wrong may be over
thrown among the peoples and in the
hearts of men and that the prayer
of the whole creation may he heard.
