THE

Protestant Nurses Attend Evening Service At Si‘. Paul's

. Graduate and student Protestant nurses from the Prince Edward Is- land Hospital, Provincial Senator- ium and Infirmary attended St. Paul's Church service in n body last night in observance o! Nur- ses’ National Dedication Sunday. The Rector, Rev. J. T. Ibbott wei- corned the nurses to St. Paul's and spoke to them on "My Task" taking his text from the 27th verse of the 22nd. chapter of St. Luke, "I am among you as he that serveth", which were spoken by Jelug in the Upper Room just before His sacri- ficial death upon the Cross. All through His ministry the disciples had witnessed His life of service. Jesus whole life was in service for others. The Rector went on to say that Christianity can best be ex- pressed in the service which reach- es out to others. Much could be said on man's failure in the past, and even of many in our own day, to give to Christianity the practical expression Christ intended it should have. Religion and daily life were never intended to be divorced from each other in the way many divorce them today. Christ definite- ly intended that the faith which bears His Holy Name should be dir- ectly concerned in the practical so- cial relations between men and their fellows. Referlng directly to the nursing profession, the Rector said, "The service to which you nurses have given your time and talents—given your lives is one so closely akin to the heart and mind of Christ. Yours indeed, is a Chrlstlike professlon,—-one of the noblest of all. Those of your pro- fession who have brought the greatest glory to it; nurses like Florence Nightingale, Edith Caveil, and many others, are those who have believed that their profession is stamped with the dignity of Christ Himself and have considered their work as Christ's work."

The Rector pointed out what the medical profession, along with the ctr-operative servicesof the nursing profession has accomplished for hu- manlty stands as one of the most outstanding human achievements.

In closing, the Rector stated the nursing profession has a greater place of importance than ever in the world—a tremendous field of service. “If we desire our nation to be great, then the health of our people should be an objective of greatest importance."
