FLORENCE NIGHTINGALE
By "PEG"
The bray ,toys of many children are
hire basis of their future career. A
very, ,young child will often by such
things show the trend .of thought
'which will map .out the course of their
future lite. There are, of course, ex-
ceptions, but almost every boy wants
to be a policeman and will wish for
e, small -sized uniform; the future
fireman wishes ;for. a helmet, a me -
()hank wants all sorts of trucks and
ears; ' the executive, journalist er
writer in • iihe distance wants books,
So on it goes. If a getup of people
were consulted, it would be found that
many times their lives have follower]
the trend of their childhood,
One of the most. striking of these
eases is that of Florence Nightingale,
the heroine of •our article, One day
she was playing with Baer doll when
her little dog came along and wanted
to join in the fun. with the result
that the peer doll required :surgical
and, we have na doubt, medical at-
tention. Probably far back in the
mind of the little girl there was the
thought that she wanted to be a
nurse and take care of the sick, but
as for as she was concerned that was'
the initial stage in.her, in later years,.
muepalronored eareer of nursing.
There are many lessons which both
Ghizstians and area ehristiane can
learn from the life, of this pioneer of
the nursing profession.
The ,parents of "Florence Nightin-
gale were in the monied class, They
had two :beautiful ,homes, the - aura-
mer months ef her ehi]dhood were
spent with her father, trotter and
only sister, Parthenope, at Lea Iliurst,
an estate .in Derbyshire; with the ex•
ception of a portion of the ,season in
Landon, the remainder of the year
they laved at 'Braley Park near
Romsey.
Bath Florence and her sister were
born in Italy, the name of her birth-
place gave our heroine her name: The
father was a cultured man wire
largely supervised the training of his
daughters. Has view of education for
girls 'was much in advance of the
times. The development of her Mind
as the result ef the early study of
Latin, Greek and mathematics was, a
great help to Florence in her life

ober 18, 1947, for lia'r's, John V, Diehl
.Ntusing today is a noble professaoa
As a graduate nurse may I be allo
to express the player and hope that
each one of our profession may- daily
pray that God will help us to be as
noble in our work as. Florence Night-
ingale was in hers. May we make it
the main abject .of our nursing ca-
reer. to give the best possible Care
we can to those who are laid aside
slither for .a short time or long peri-
ods and to pray that God will give
us opportunities to proclaim His •gos
pel to these who are patients. We
may rest assured that Florence
Nightingale was a true messenger of
her Saviour, ,Otherwise she would not
have devoted her life to His work
under the very trying cio•cumstaarees
which she did.
When Miss Nightingale returned to
England from the Crimea, measures
were taken to make +the, life of the
soldier easier. On account of her
health a school was not founded 2ronr
the fund, but she worked throsigh ex-
isting hospitals, a school for nurses
being founded in connection with St.
Thomas' Hospital. Ina her beautiful
spirit ,of service, .Miss Nightingale
devoted; her energy to the welfare of
her less fortunate workers. Through-
out her years of service she kept to
the fore the love of God. Without
that her work would not have been
the success it was. In the Anglican
Church in Elora, Canada, there is a
eonmrunion service which she sent
out when a dear friend of here was
rector there.
The system of massing a -s instituted
by Florence Nightingale was .the be-
ginning of the different systems• all
the world ever. As long as she was
able ehe earxied on her work and
lived to the age of 90, when she
passed peacefully away to leer re-
ward.
