I5 . H 5,3 00 'i 9 Q 0 Q 0 1 ' V - Qmafuafe WMM 0 1943: F rom the pen of Saint Ierome, the learned doctor of the 4th Century who translated the Latin Vulgate Bible from the Hebrew, Aramaic, Itala and Greek Septuagint texts in the years 390 to 405 and gave the Holy Bible for common usel' to the poor people of the 5th Century, we read an eloquent description of Saint Marcella who was called The Glory of Roman Women. This exceptional Nurse of the 5th Century became a widow shortly after hermarriage and dedicated her entire life and fortune to Works of charity. In the year 410 when the Goths under Alaric sacked Rome, she was scourged for the purpose of making her reveal the hiding place of her treasures, vvhich she candidly declared had long before been distributed amongst the poor and the sick. Today throughout Europe many noble Nurses have given their lives rather than betray their patriotic patients to the Nazi Armies and Gestapo who have invaded their lands and sacked their homes of everything valuable. As far as their earthly possessions are concerned, these noble Nurses, both re- ligious and lay 4'Angels on Life's Battlefieldi' have given all their possessions and even their lives for their God and their Country. Another Alaric has sacked and despoiled the works of Christian Charity! But--in the enslaved nations of Europe, the spirit of Saint Marcella lives in our own times! Graduates of 1943! What will you give for the honor of your profession? Let us hope that great things will be done by you who have had the advantage of the Sacred Heart Hospitalls inspiration and practical training for the allevi- ating of suffering humanity! We send you forth as heroines marching as to War! May you give your best talents in the cause of your ethical and charit- able ideals and may your only compensation be the thought that your Work was your happinessf' May it be said of you some day on the pages of Ameri- can History that you were the glory of American Womenf' Yours for God and America, SACRED HEART HOSPITAL ASSOCIATION, INC.
