Miss Mustard. They are at•Gyproe" House, Gypsum ville, Man.: "Tit a gypioc .house set 'back in the Woods With no,other house in sight, But we -stand for .Christ in this ton ely spot Healing bddy,tand soul and mind." IWC -are situated back behind the company's stables and a long way Irons; any other - house. There is not a neighbor closer than two blocks city measure, and so many trees a- round us that we can see no house from our •place;, but do not think we are - lonely or afraid. There is that in a nurse's life that must early con- quer fear and we have to take many risks. Since we came here a big burly Indian- domes and spends an evening with us once a week or so, but we are not afraid of him,; he comes as a friend. There is a great deal of drinking and sometimes a man quite .drunk comes for medi- cine; often' too, sick folk conie through the night and we must get up and dress and let thein in, not knowing who or what they are. Thus we trust the Heavenly Father. We have three stoves up in our little home and have been warm even at' forty below- zero. It is cold. enough putting on the fires •in the 'morning, and we try to keep the liv- ing -room heater going -all night, but wood is not very lasting. The neigh- bors have been' kind and have kept a little sawed wood on hand, and we will get -next year's wood in as soon as' the inen can haul it for us. I was called out' to, the country to see a sick mother. Beside her bed was a five months' old baby in a Wooden cradle, ' a little tot of three years old and one of five were run- ning around the 'room and the oldest girl, about sixteen, was waiting with wide, frightened eyes to see if her mother was seriously ill. The fath- er had deserted them and the girl told me she didn't want to be left with all the children to raise. I as- sured them the mother was only tir- ed out from work and Worry and a few. day's rest and a good tonic would fix her up, so I left them all happy again. Today I' visited another mother of ten children, worn out and weary, in a bare, bleak homestead house, She told me she had not had a doctor for her last three children, She is an English woman and had had good doctors for her first seven, but since coning oiiD liere had just had to do without any care. It seems so much harder when they have known better. Those people welceme nurses as if they were a gold mine. On Christmas day we had a very sick lad, about twenty years old, brought in at 5 a.nr. He had all the symptoms of a ruptured appendix. His chum and he came sixty-five miles over terrible roads. They were nineteen hours on the road and wore out two dog teams and one horse team, and the second lad told us he had to break trail for the dogs al- most all the way. We got the sick boy to bed and, with 'dread in our hearts, went to work to do what we could to save his life. There was no doctor available; so we did all we could for him all that day and all the next night and sent him next morning to Winnipeg on the train by stretcher. We wired a doctor in Winnipeg to meet him with an am- bulance and were able to get his father to go down with him. Then we anxiously waited to hear what happened. Ten days later his father came back. The boy was getting better. Some one said to us, "Too bad to spoil your Christmas day." Ah, they don't know the life of a nurse. We felt our twenty-six hour Christ- mas day was well spent.—Margaret Mustard." ST. HELENS Busses Mabel and Irene Woods of Kitchener spent the week -end .at the home of their parents here. Miss Muriel Miller of London spent a few days. at her home here. Mrs. It. K. Miller and Mks. W. Gordon visited friends in Goderich over the week -end. • Mr. Geo.
