A Field In Which They Can Make An Honorable Living, f lxitn:rail according to Act of tare Par- liament of Canada, In the year Una Thousand aline ifunctred and 'three, by Wm. Bally, of 'Toronto, at the Department of Agriculture, Ottawa.) A despatch from Chicago says :-- Rev. Frank De Witt Talmage preach- ed from the following text :--I Tim- othy v, 10, "Well reported of for good, works * * * if she have re- lieved the afflicted." Well, indeed, may a woman be re- ported of for good works in such a world as ours if she have relieved the afflicted. Such women aro sore- ly needed. There is suffering eve•,y- where—in the rich man's palace and the poor man's tenement. If any woman desires to be well reported of for good works, she can attain her ambition in no surer, better, way than in relieving the afflicted: It is a glorious mission that has been chosen by these noble women, who are graduating as trained nurses • and are going forth in their striped uniforms, like valiant • sol- diers, to contend with fell disease, I • want to present to yen my eor- ception- of Whitt. such a woman should be, whether she stands by the operating table or bends • over the invalid's bed or walks through the wards of a hospital for con- tagious diseases or sterilizes the surgeon's knives just before the limb is to bo amputated. I take this. opportunity to address not a single graduating class of trained. nurses, but to speak to all the dif- ferent training schools for nurses with which my pulpit comes into contact. Tho scope of my theme can best be realized if the hearer is led into the humble home of the most be- loved and internationally honored of all women living at the present time. Who is she ? I will answer that question by relating an inci- dent which happened about the year 1858. •Lord Stratford was enter- tain3ng at a London banquet many of the prominent military officers of the British army, who had led to victory the queen's soldiers in the Crimean conflict. As a matter of curiosity, the noble lord asked them, one and all, this question, "Who do you think, of alI the par- ticipants of the late war, will be the most honored and revered by the coming generations ?" He asked his guests to write the names of their choice upon slips of paper and he would read the same and an- nounce the result of the ballot. When the slips were ' olloctod, the vote was unanimous. Wonderful to state, the name which Lord Strat- ford announced was not that of a general, It belonged to an untitled woman. Her name was Florence Nightingale. THE IDEAL NURSE. Who was Florence Nightingale ? I will tell you. She was the heroic nurse who did not want the British people to rear for her a monument of cold marble, but instead she took the $250,000, which was a free will offering given by her countrymen, and with it built and endowed, only a short distance • from Westminster abbey, the famous training school for nurses which now bears her name. This school, established in 1860, is the foster mother of all the modern training schools for nurses. When a woman so honored by church and state as Florence Night- ingale thinks the development of the trained nurse a work so important that she devotes to it her fortune and her consecrated energies, we need make no apology for taking as Our theme this morning• the qualities which are needed in the ideal nurse. The trained nurse, in the first place, must • be intelligent. 'She • is the right arm of the • physician: By that we do not mean that the train- ed nurse is to be a Mere automatic machine and -that when the physi- cian pulls the string she is to move and when he stops pulling she is to stand still. Oh, no 1 She is to be far more. We find that to -day,, the intelligent trained nurse is more than the mere physical right arm of the physician. She is his eyes, his hands, his constant helper. What the intelligent trained nurse Is able to report in reference to the progress of the patient to a great extent de-' tides the physician's diagnosis. He sees the patient but once in twenty- four hours, while she is by the in- valid's bed i?racticany all the time. She can record the progress of the disease by the flight of minutes. He can only study it by the morning ar-i evening call. The value of the intelligent nurse is to he found in what she sees, as well as in what ahe is willing to do ; her usefulness is to be enhanced by what she can tell, as well as by her willingness to obey orders. ' A FALLACY EXPLODED. "It is high time," Florence Night- ingale once wrote, "that the fallacy should he exploded. that. _every wo- man is able to become a competent nurse." It Is high time that the standard of our training schools for nurses should be raised, that un- worthy institutions should be crush- ed out and that the, question of a'. trained nurse's efficiency should not be decided by her ability to buy a gingham dress and to read a ther•- lnometer, Incompetent nursing has involved the loss of many a life and caused many an agonizing pain, Some tune ago a dear friend of mine a brother minister, had his little five-year-old son nearly burned to death. Tho only tvat,y to SONO the child's life was by grafting human skin upon the little one's stomach and chest. The father and the child's two brothers volunteered to let the doctor peel the :skin from their bodies .to save the baby's life.. After ono of the, brothers—a noble lad about ten years of age—had had the skin cut off his arms and should- ers and chest the surgeon turned to the nurse and said, "Nurse, where did you get that knife ?" "Out of the alcohol," she answered. "Did you then place the blade in sterile water before you gave it to me ?" "No," she answered ; "I did not know you wanted nia to do it." "Then," said the surgeon, "we have cut all the skin off from this boy's body for nothing. Yeur criminal ignorance is to blame for this use- less suffering. You should have known enough to place that knife in sterile water. You profess to be a trained surgical nurse and a gradu- ate of a nurses' college.'! Thus, you women about to become trained nurses, it is of vital impor- tanoe that you are intelligent and efficient. It is of vital importance that you should know the value of fresh air and of proper dietetics. It is of vital importance that you. obey the laws of cleanlinesss and not allow • your patient to become infected. Tbie 'iguarance' of incozri= petent nurses has sent c': •many patient to the grave. It you valun- tarily enter. your noble professior intellectually unqualified, you ar committing a sin against the hu- man race just as surely as is the ignorant switchman who throws open the wrong switch and sends the passenger train crashing into the freight train which has been side- tracked. CU i.E SOUL AND BODY. The ideal nurse should be a Chris- tian woman. During the dark night, when the black winged death angel is hovering, wing and wing, beside the white winged birth angel, or when in tho crisis of pneumonia or typhoid the life seems to be hang- ing by a slender thread, no intelli- gent nurse is so competent to bend over the bed as the one who bo- lieves in God and prayer and the one who can ask for the divine blessing when she pours out the medicine or places the ice bag on the fevered brow. A great deal of Florence Nightingale's power over her pa- tients was due to the fact that she could tell the physically helpless and the dying about the Good Physician,' who was able to cure the sufferer's soul as well as his . body. The Cri- mean soldiers had a better chance for getting well in this world when Florence Nightingale's mere presence made these rough men stop their sweaa•rng and influenced many of them to turn their bps toward hea- ven with a beseeching prayer. We know that one of the beneficent tasks of a nurse is to inspire pa- tients with peace of min'cl and of heart. 'Wherefore,. is not the ideal nurse *doubly fitted for her work when she can impart to the sufferer's soul a knowledge of the peace that passeth understanding? THE IDEAL NURSE should be a brave woman. The bat- tlefield, with its storm of shot and shell, shows no greater percentage of loss of life than that found among the trained nurses in our contagious hospitals. The soldier who charges the enemy's breastworks is looking death in the face with no braver eye than the unifprmod nurse who tinges the pulse of the smallpox patient or the young girl who offers to go with the physicians into the quarantined city affected with yellow fever. Then there aro the dangers which may af- fect the patients as well as the nurse, which result from delirium. The other day I read an account of a case in which the quick witted brav- ery of a nurse saved the life of a raving patient committed to her charge. Having stepped out of the room for a little, when she returned she found the patient standing by his bed with a knife in his hand, ready to cut his throat. Instead of screaming or running away, she fix- ed her eye calmly upon his as she said: "I would not cut my throat with such a dull knife as that if I were you. Let me have it; I know where to get a sharper one." The de- lirious patient hesitated a moment. Then he handed it to her, Then she calmly turned and threw it out of the open window as she said, "Now go back to bed or I will call for help to put you there." Ah, that was bravery! MORAL COURAGE NECESSARY. But there is another way in which the ideal trained nurse must prove her bravery. That is when she has the moral courage to refuse to work for an incompetent physician. Some time ago one of the training schools for nurses gave this question in an examination paper: "Supposing you positively knew that if you obeyed the doctor's orders to give to your patient a certain medicine that act would kill the patient, would you give it?" Most of the students an- swered "No." Some answered "Yes." I myself believe that neith- er answer. fully covered the duty in the case. If there should cone a time—and that time( will Coyne -When' a competent nurse knows . that her patient is being cared for by an in- competent physician, then, that nurse should go to that doctor and tell him plainly what she knows and then and there refuse to work any longer under his orders, .A. trained nurse has no. moral right to work under an incompetent physician. By doing so she becomes a party to his malpractice. She should not disobey his orders. Two wrongs never make a right. She shed refuse to work for him at all. • The ideal nurtg should be a happy woman. Happy! Why? Because, as Bing Solomon wrote, "A merry heart doeth good like a medicine." Happy! Why? Because good cheer is 'Contagious as well as infectious. The nurse'§ smile in the sickroom has the same curative qualities as the sun bath or an alcoholic rub ,And yet there are some nurses wh go about their tasks with the soar ed visage' of ane under'taker's assist- ant rather than with the radian face of one who Is trying to cheer up those who aro pain racked an depressed. They never seem to re- alize that a true nurse's facial ex pression should be full of sunshine a well as her fingers' touch gentle and true. Brut, Ourtslde Of her 'duty toward the patient, there is another reason why the ideal purse should he happy Her life is 'one of self sacrifice. It is a life which has in it a sweet co sciousnoss that she is trying to help her fellow men. It is not a life o mere money making, as many sup pose, After the trained nurse has taken out her legitimate expenses she has little money to save. It is a life of sweet anti noble self sacrifice. THE JOY OF SELF SACRIFICE. Oh, the transcendent joy of the Christian nurse's sacrifice for oth ars!. Young women who are about to enter the nurse's profession, if you are to become ideal nurses, this is to be your joy. You will be hap-. py because you will know that your sacrifice and devotion and faithful ness will save other lives. You wil have the sweet consciousness that you have been able to lead a suf- ferer back from the dark valley of the shadow of death, or, if you have to close the eyelids of the dead, you will know that you -have been able to place 'their -'hands' in the saving hand of Jesus. Christian women about to enter: the noble profession of trained nurses, I congratulate You, I give to you::.a gospel saluta- tion. ' . wish you godspeed, May God bless to -day the memory Of Florence Nightingale! And may the bandage and the nurse's cool hand upon the fevered brow ever b accompanied by the earnest Chris- tian prayer of the ideal nurse. O reminds. us that when the kingdom cornea and the glorified church is with Christ reigning over it (Rev. v, 9, 10), Israel shall have her place, t with her rebuke tcken away from oil, • all the earth, for she shall see Mize. d coming in Ws glory, 55-57, 0 ,death, where is thy suing? 0 grave, where is thy vie- s' tory? The sting of death is sin, and the strength of sin is the law. But thanks be to God, which givoth us the victory through our Lord esus Christ. • In Hos. xili, 14, from which part of this is quoted, the words' are: "U n- death, I will be thy plagues;. 0 grave, I will be thy destruction. Re- f pentance shall be grid from mine - eyes," Thinking of these words, I often say that I am glad that God hates death and the grave and will destroy both"- and will never alter His purpose about it, Whilein the case of the believer the curse of death is changed to a blessing and - brings only gain and the very far butter (Phil.. i; 21, 28), yet the fact stands that death is an enemy, and to talk of death as the Lord's com- ing is to confound 'one of the worst of enemies with the best Friend, 58. Therefore, my beloved breth- 1 fen, be ye steadfast, unmovable, al- ways abounding in the work of the Lord, for as much as ye know that your labor is not in vain in the Lord,. Tho glories of the resurrection, the kingdom, the new earth, concerning which Paul said Rom. viii, 17, 18; II Coy. iv, 17, 18, and many such words 'may well encourage us to be steadfast, in. the. faith, unrnoved by the false doctrine and gladly walking in the good works which He has pre- pared for us. He only wants us to present to Him our bodies, which is truly a reasonable thing, since He e has bought us with a great price, that He xray unhindrred work in us all His good pleasure, causing all grace to abound toward us (Eph. 10; Rom. xii, 1, 2; I Cor. vi, 19, 20; II Thess. i, 11, 12; II Cor. ix, 8). } THE KING AT COLLEGE. b THE Se S.d ESSON INTERNATIONAL LESSON, APRIL 12 His Likes and Dislikes Were the —" Same as Other Students. Text of the Lesson, I Cor. xx., 20, 21, 50-58. Golden Text, I Cor. xv., 20. 20. But now is Christ risen from the dead and become the first fruits of them that slept. We have to-dav a great and glor- ious chapter truly, beginning with the gospel by which we are saved and ending with the complete sub- jugation of all things unto Him who died for our sins and was buried and rose again the third day, according to the Scriptures (verses 3, 4). The writer of this epistle, with whom we have recently been journeying so much, seemed to know nothing but Christ crucified, Christ risen and ascended and Christ returning to reign. Ie would be well if there were many like him. In this chapter he gives special prominence to the resurrection, proving that the life and death of Christ would have availed us nothing if Ile had not risen ; that apart from this great fact there is no gospel to preach, no ground for faith, no salvation; but, Christ being risen, all is well with those who trust in Him, and as He is in His risen body so shall we be (Phil.iii, 21; I John iii, 2). 21. For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive. 'By one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin, and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned. I"or as by one man's disobedience many were made sinner's, so by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous (Rom. v, 12, 19). All are in Adam without exception, and therefore all are sinners and dead in trespasses and sins (Eph. ii, 1). All who, be- ing convinced of sin, have accepted Christ are in Christ, and I3e is wisdom, righteousness, sanctification redemption and life eternal to all who truly receive Him (I Cora i, 30; 1 John v, 12). 50. Now, this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God ; neither doth cor- ruption inherit incor-ruption. The kingdom of God will be that conditionof affairs on earth wher the will of God shall be done or earth as it is done in heaven (Matt. vi; '10), or, as in verse 28 of our chapter, when the Son, having (dur- ing the thousand years Rev, xx) subdued all things unto Himself and cast Satan and all his followers into the lake of fire, God shall be all in all. In order to enjoy that kingdom and its glory, these present mortal bodies of flesh ..and blood must be changed and be made like His resurrection body of flesh and bones (Luke xxiv, 39). They will be as real and tangible as His resur- rection body, but no longer subject to the powers and circumstances which control our mortal bodies (Luke xxiv, 31; John xx, 19). 51, 52. Behold, I show you a mystery. We shall • not all sleep, but we shall all be changed in a moment. * * In I Thess. iv, 16-18, this is more fully set forth and so simply and clearly that only those who do not wish to can fail to see it. Our Lord Himself referred to. it` in these words: "He that believeth in Me, though he 'die, yet shall be live, and whosoever liveth and believetlr in Me shall never die" (John xi, 25, 26). The natural man can never see nor inherit the kingdom of God unless ho is horn from above, born the econd time, and all who, being born again, belong to the kingdom must in one of two ways obtain a body fit for the kingdom—the body must die end rise from the dead at His coming or. be in a moment changed without dying, as were the v bodies of Enoch and Elijah. 53, 54. Then shall be brought tc pass the saying that is written. Death is swallowed up in victory. Corruptible and mortal are terms referring to our present bodies; in- corruptible and immortal dosexibe the bodies that shall be ours at His coming, .When we shall bo like flim. This quotation from isa, xxv, 8, 9, When the King (as Prince of Wales) was at Cambridge Univer- sity, his life did not differ mulch in routine from that of the undergrad- uates of the time, inasmuch as he attended lectures, had rooms in college and occasionally dined in halt. But it differed materially in the fact that his rooms comprised a complete suite (and not the usual two apartments), and that the lec- tures he attended were especially ar- ranged for him by the Master of Trinity College, and delivered only to himself and a few, of his intimate friends, foremost among whom was the Duke of St. Albans. Subsequently the Prince took up his residence at Madingley Hall — a large Elizabethan mansion about four miles northwest of Cambridge— and attended at College daily. In this particular it is interesting to recall the circumstance that when the Prince visited the university shortly after his marriage he took the Princess to see this house (which he was desirous of purchasing) and insisted upon driving by way of a certain street that he had been ac- customed to use as an undergradu- ate, although this entailed the de- struction of a barrier that had been erected in view of his visit. Hunting was one of the Prince's chief amusements, and he was gen- erally to be seen out with the Cam- bridgeshire IH'ounds. He also in- dulged in shooting in the county, and on one occasion made his way tg a farmhouse TO BEG A DRTNIC. The farmer's wife brought out her beat, but was more than a little as- tonished and chagrined when the Prince politely refused her proffered "sherry wine" and accepted a glass of home -brewed ale. That the Prince had a fondness for a practical joke is shown in the fact that on one occasion he saw a lad fishing from a punt in the vicinity of the college, and in a spirit of mischief pushed him into the river. The act was no sooner done, how- ever, than he took steps to haul the luckless lad out again, and to com- pensate him for his involuntary! ducking the Prince gave him an or -f der on his own tailor for a new out- E fit. There is no doubt the routine and restrictions of university life some-' times galled the high spirits of the Prince, ane* it is said that he one day escaped from the care of his tu- tor and determined to have a jaunt in London on his own account. The consternation of the authorities may be imagined when be was found to be missing; but inquiries soon es- tablished the fact that he lead left Cambridge by a London train. A telegram was therefore despatched at once, with the result that when the Prince reached his destination he found a carriage and attendants awaiting his arrival, What Prince Albert said to his erring son is not recorded, but certain it is that the Royal student was returned to the university on the following day, greatly to his disgust. } DIDN'T LIKE TO BOAST. A couple of months ago a Scots- man was watching the drill of a body o1' Continental troops, when one of the officers said to him : "There, sir, do you tell me that an equal number of Scotsmen could bdat them ?" "No, sir," was the ready reply, "I won't pretend to say that ; but I am perfectly cer- tain ' that half that . number would try." 40 Augustus (who has been looking at a comic paper) --"I should hate to be a public character, doncherknow, Miss Flash, and have all the funny papers printing things about me that would lower me in the estima- tion of my acquaintances.

SUNDAY OF JOY. - ❖ w •3 00001.00000000‘,..00000000 Easter, Dominica gaudii, or Sun- day of Joy, is the festival after the closing of the austerities of Lent, when the resurrection of Christ is celebrated. The Toutontc tribes of the North celebrated to the goddess Os - tare, the personification of the morn- ing, at this season and also to the opening of the year or spring. The policy of the church gave Christian significance to such rites as could not be rooted out, -and thus' 'conver- sion was made easy for the heathen. The bonfires of pagan rites gave way to the great paschal tapers, some- times weighing 300 pounds, which were lighted in the churches Easter Eve. Easter eggs are symbolical of the reviving life in spring, and were pre- sented as gifts by the Persian fire worshippers on the solar New Year. The Jews, too, used eggs in the feast of the Passover. These eggs were colored and stained with dye woods and herbs and sometimes were kept as amulets and sometimes were eaten. Various games of egg rolling and egg knocking were play- ed. LOOKING FOR EGGS. In some moorland districts of Scotland the young people went abroad early on Pasch Sunday and searched for wild fowl's eggs for breakfast, for it was thought lucky to find them. The rabbit seems to have become associated with East- er, but there is no trace of it in ac- counts of ancient customs. In the State of Maryland the children make nests in the young grass under the clumps of budding Easter lilies East- er Eve and the following Easter dawn find their filled with spotted and gaily stained eggs. The Christian world adorns the Easter service with a gorgeous wealth of ceremonial and song. The secular world blossoms in spring bonnets and garments new and won- derful, for has not apringtide arriv- ed? The business world recognizes the carnival season with early sales of linen, underwear and summer. gauzes, which the worldly woman transforms into marvelous decora- tions when she may emerge from her Lenten season of sewing and contriv- ing as splendid as the first spring butterfly from its chrysalis. The fashionable woman either flees south- ward, or, piously garbed in sombre attire, attends a daily service, fasts at a Lenten luncheon or listens to expositions of the deeper poets. A BLESSED BIRTHRIGHT. Occasionally one meets a family that preserves traditions and super- stitions and celebrates all holidays, both pagan and Christian. Such people have inherited a blessed birth- right. They have an interest in the passing year not dependent on change of fashion, on rumors of war or on stock bonds. To watch with joy the signs of the year, the events of the equinox, the changes of the moon, and even to place faith in the ground hog, which holds its own un- til St. Michael's day, Feb. 24, when, if the good saint came and found .ice, he would break it and usher in an early spring, or if he saw no ice, deemed wise to make it to protect the tender Herbs and tree buds from too early a start and warn the spar- rows against untimely nesting—all this adds spice to the variety of life. It is a happiness to think that as we celebrate Easter, so, from times far distant, before the Christian era, the peoples celebrated the return of the sun and the awakening of spring, and that gratitude toard the source of light and heat turned the altars of pagan temples toward the east bowed the Parsee fire worshipper in adoration, while the gladsome doc- trines of Christianity have found a place for the aspirations of the na- tions that walked in spiritual dark- ness and have turned the sun wor- ship into love and faith in the Son of ::righteousness. FROM MANY QUARTERS. Herr Krupp's income, the largest ever known in Germany, was $4,- 760,000 a year. The St. James district of London, although but seven -tenths of a square mile, has 471 policemen. In New Zealand a government sub. sidy is given the Salvation Army to prevent suffering among the needy. A year ago 1,262 women were en- rolled in the German universities ; now, in consequence of restrictions and discriminations against them, the number is but 737. Women have invaded naany lines of employment hitherto thought ex- clusively masculine. There are shown in the Iast United States cen- sus report 126 women plumbers, 45 plasterers, 167 bricklayers and stone masons, 241 paper -hangers, 1,759 painters, and 545 carpenters.
