CHRISTIAN SCIENCE CHURCHES

CHhlSllAN SC1ENOE Ck1 OnOhCS'
1--WE can do nothing against the
truth, but for the truth" Thus spake
Paul to the Corinthians according
to the Golden Text of the Sunday
lesson-sermon on Truth" in all
branches of The Mother Church,
The First Church of Christ, Sci
enlist, in Boston.
Matthew reports that Jesus went
about all Galilee, teaching in their
synagogues, and preaching the gos-
pei of the kingdom, and healing all
manner of sickness and all manner
of disease among the people" In
his Sermon on the Mount Jesus
said, Blessed are the poor in spir-
it.: for theirs is the kingdom of
heaven. Blessed are they that
mourn: for they shall be comforted.
Blessed are the meek: for they shall
inherit the earth. Blessed are they
which do hunger and thirst after
righteousness: for they shall be
filled"
Writing on this subject Mary
Baker Eddy says in Science and
Health with Key to the Scrip
tures::" THE spiritual sense of truth
must be gained before Truth can
be understood. This sense Is ASST
inflated only as we are honest, un-
selfish, loving, and meek" I'm order
To apprehend more, we must put into
practice what we already know"

Imperial Valley press., 1945-01-26

The result of this is that no more
private duty nurses will be avail
able in an effort to save civilian
nurses for hospital and other es-
Sential work.
The nursing profession has been
modified and its members will con-
fine their activities to essential
duties, says Mrs. Mary Jane Neal,
president of District No. 80 Of the
California state Nurses Association,
which includes the Imperial Valley
area.
The state nurses organization
was quick to comply with the new
program and has passed regulations
to further it. Nurses who are unfit
for military service will take or
continue to hold, all hospital and
other essential jobs. Patients in
hospitals will have to depend on
floor nurses, or on practical nurses,
for their care as registered nurses
cannot be spared for private duty.
All registered nurses have been
classified by local and state COM
mittee to determine whether or not
they are fit for military service. II
they are they are put in Glass 1
and asked to join the army or navy.
The next group is Glass II, which
includes nurses married or over the
age limit. These must, according
to the state organization, take over
vacated hospital positions or other
essential jobs.
The military services are not
asking hospital nurses to leave, nor
are they asking for married women,
though they are acceptable.
Any registered nurse from 18-45
who is a graduate of an accredited
nursing school will be welcomed
by Mrs. Payson, recruiting officer
for the services, whose headquarters
are in the rural supervisors office
OF the court house.
To fill the places of the thousands
of nurses who have gone and are
going who are joining the service,
all nurses who are not employed
are badly needed, according to Mrs.
Neal.
Nurses who have been holding
other types of positions or places
that could be filled by practical
nurses will have to return to their
profession to ensure the proper care
of the civilian population, Mrs.
Neal said.

out them ard without paper shoe
boxes, too. Replace them with fire
resistant, metal racks on the door.
You'll be protecting your home ana

Imperial Valley press., 1945-01-26

If you find a forgotten fire ex-
tinguieher during your January
closet cleanup, ask TIE man you
bought it from, or your hardware
man, to see whether it is still in
good condition. Extinguishers that
carry the Underwriters Laboratories
approval are usually good for a life
time, unless they have been abused,
SC yours may just need to be cleaned
up and recharged. Then put it in a
handy place. You may never have a
fire, but it's safer to be prepared.
