NEEDLESS ANXIETY

why art thou cast down, O
my soul? and why apt thou dis
quieted within me7 Hope thou in
God; for shall yet praise him
for the help of his countcnances. /"
The Psalmist, like many of us,
had his moments of discourage
ment and grief: he came to the
hard places in life when Ii seemed
that all efforts to get ahead were
futile and unimportant. His very
soul was cast down and hopeless
until he discovered a cure for his
worries in God his Maker.
The remedy no found has been
discovered by many since his day.
and it Is of worth for us today ~
We face life's perplexing prob
lens. There arc multitudes Of
things to depress and discourage
one today but with faith in God
we need not be hopeless or cast
down in soul for he has invited us
to Cast all of our burdens on
him, for he careth for u.s."
Here's to those whose hearts
are heavy, whose burdens weigh
them down, and whose future In
dark and uncertain, "Hopc thou
in God" and praise him for his
protecting care. Remember, "His

Courtesy to the Nurses

A SS0
American nurses who turn
from globe-trotting to island
hopping will find that their
colleagues ia the American
West Indies-on the islands
Of St. Thomas, ST. John, and
ST. Croix-have always close
ly identified themselves with
nurses on the mainland. Some
time ago they became associ-
ate members Of the National
Association Of Colored Gradu-
ate Nurses. This fact, they
hope, may help when the
matter Of recognition by the
American Nurses Association
comes up next year.
When governors Of the
states and territories were
notified, in 1913, that the ANA
was celebrating its Diamond
Jubilee, Governor William "a.
Hastie got ia touch with the
Virgin Islands nurses. The re-
suit was q week-long celebra-
ton. AT the final ceremony,
three nurses were honored:
Clemencia Parry. the oldest
graduate Of the hospital in st.

first public health nurse to dc

Then the civilian govern

less, Or. Knud Knud=Hansen,

health under the American

with the status Of nursing

John S. Moorhead, continues
this concern and supports the
Virgin Islands nurses il their
efforts to maintain and raise

Although some observers
have been alarmed about the
hospital situation on the Isl

But the most potent influ-
ence for professional nursing
has been carried over from the
Danish days when nursing
sisters were sent from the Old
World BY the state church Of
Denmark-the Lutheran Evan

tiers were assigned. to the
small municipal hospitals.

raining Queen Louise, who
was apparently most interest

paid for the transportation Of
some Of the nurses and re-

during their training to check
on their progress.
Then came the transfer
and the us. Navy moved il
to govern the islands. And
then dawned the golden era Of

at 80 East Washington.
To mention a few more names,
there were 'Wm. Schlotterbeck, re-

tell of his "Phaetons, Buggies, Light

1t is odd to see the form of some
ads. You can not tell them from a
regular news item at first. Rat kill
