Red Cross Nurse
Reserve at Peak
Disaster Service, Home Nursing,
Health Education, Keep
Thousands Busy

Washington.-The Red Cross reserve
of registered nurses qualified for i'm
mediate duty is stronger than ever
before, Miss Mary Beard, director of
the American Red Cross nursing ser.
vices, announced.
1--WE now have a first reserve of
$4,000 unmarried nurses under 40 years
Of age available for duty with the
Army. Navy or government nursing
services and subject to call by the Red
Cross for disaster work." she said.
This IL 700 more than any previous
hrst reserve registration"
Miss Beard pointed out that the in.
crease has been gradual and that only
registered nurses meeting rigid require
merts OF training and physical fitness
are enrolled. All classes of nurse
reservists. including nurses now EN-.
ployed by the Red Cross. bring the
reserve corps total to 44.2s3 During the
World War of 1914-1S the American Red
Cross mustered nearly 10000 nurses for
duty with Army. Navy and Red Cross
hospitals, at home and overseas.
Maintenance of the Nurses Reserve
Is provided by our charter and is in
line with Red Cross policies of proven
ton and preparedness, but the peace.
time work of our nurses is equally i'm.
portant," Miss Beard said.
The director explained that more
Than 1000 nurses, chiefly home hygiene
and care of the sick instructors, were
regularly engaged in visiting the sick,
aiding physicians in examining school
children, conducting incubation pro.
grams to stamp out contagious illness.
launching trial nursing services in out.
of-theway communities, and carrying
on important health education work
to qualify family groups to care for
sickness at home.
All nurses who are needed for Red
Cross nursing activities are drawn
from the Red Cross reserve of qualified
nurses, Miss Beard said.
Last year Red Cross public health
nurses made more than one million
visits on behalf of the sick and gave
skilled care to 272,729 persons.
Last year, In schools and clinics,
nurses cooperated with physicians in
examining 595,575 children, and aided
in the task Of correcting defects. Chill.
dren examined were enrolled for the
most part In rural schools where this
type of preventive service is rare
There are 655 Rsd Cross nurses en-.
gagged in this work In AT communities,
In the feld'ot health education, Red
Cross nurses have instructed more
than 100000 family members since
1914 in how to care for the sick at home
and have set new standards Of hygiene
for the family. Last year the Nursing
Service held 4,505 classes in home
hygiene and care of the sick and
awarded certificates to 61,296 persons
who passed examinations on the sub
jects taught.
Because the nucleus of all Red
Cross nursing activity is our nurses
reserve, 1t Is source of great satisfac.
ton that each month the list of an
plicants increases" Miss Beard said.
This service to the public IL sun
ported by the men and women who 1oin
as members of the Red Cross, through
their local Chapters, during the Roll
Call, November II to 80.

Peter Commended and Rebuked,
Matthew 16:13-25, for Sunday, JAM
The time had come when Christ
wanted to take a mental inventory
Of his disciples. He began by ask
ing the public's estimation of him.
v. 13. "When Jesus came into
the coasts of Caesarea Phillip, he
asked his disciples, saying, Whom
do men say that | the Son of Man
ann" Popular opinion has its
rightful place but sometimes it is
wrong.
". IA. "And they said, Some say
that thou are John the Baptist;
some Elias; and others, Jeremias,
OF one of the prophets There
was a high regard for the great and
noble of the past whose influence
was still felt and in some miracu-
lous way these might live again.
V. Is. "He saith unto them,
But whom say We that l am The
disciples had to make definite de-
cision as to Jesus divinity. There
could be no Christian church with
out the right conception of its found,
ed. One can not be neutral as to
Christ-either for him or against
him are the only stands.
V. 16. ''And Simon Peter answer
ed and said, Thou are the Christ,
the Son of the living God 1t was
just like Peter to speak first. He
had likely often thought Jesus di-
vine, so that the answer was quick
in forthcoming. The disciples were
chosen in part to be Christ's wit
nesses, and here is the first real
demonstration of this function.
Such a confession had divine ap-
proval and was the means of making
Christ real on earth.
v. IT. "And Jesus answered and
said unto him, Blessed art thou,
Simon, Barjona; for flesh and blood
hath not revealed it unto thee, but
my father which is in heaven"
This supernatural truth was not
portrayed either by men or by the
human expressions of Christ. God
was revealed to the disciples by the
divinity of Christ.
v. IS. "And I say also unto
thee, that thou art Peter, and upon
this rock will l build my church,
and the gates of hell shall not pre-
vail against it, While Christ is
the foundation rock on which his
kingdom is built, his followers may
be living stones placed on the foun-
dation. 1t was the confessing Peter
with tht emphasis on the confes.
sion that is of value in producing
Christian fellowship.
V.19. "And 1 will give unto thee
the keys of the kingdom of heaven;
and whatsoever thou shalt bind on
earth shlal be bound in heaven;
and whatsoever thou shalt loose on
earth shall be loosed in heaven"
Such authority is promised the dis
ciples as is necessary to effect
brotherhood with harmony and a
unified purpose.
". 20 '"Then he charged his
disciples that they should tell no
man that he was Jesus the Christ.
His days on earth might be fewer II
the animsoity of the religious lead
ers were aroused. He would do his

"Suuibs From The Bench,

With the basketball season well
under way, McConnelsville's Big
Reds still roam the range untainted
by defeat, still ride roughshod over
