among men. I present this matter as the Lord has presented it to
me. Let us determine to put ourselves to the task of learning in the

The Training of Nurses
In the training of nurses there must be an organized plan. They
are learning a most valuable trade; and many temptations will come
to them through offers of large wages and of places where they will
have a better chance to earn money, if they will go with some patient.
This point must be guarded, or there will surely be trouble....

to God, they will do His will, acting their part according to His
appointment.—

Will you not all put on Christ, not to lay Him off again, but
to let His Spirit stamp your mind and character? When all in this
institution are truly converted, there will be just as surely a wonderful
work done as when on the Day of Pentecost the disciples received
the outpouring of the Holy Spirit. The Lord Himself will be with
you, to teach and to lead and to guide. You will see of the salvation
of God. You may be disheartened at times. Discouragements will
arise, but it is your privilege at all times to lay hold of the hope set
