fieofqf C' EEP us, O Lord, from pettinehss: let us be large in thought, in word, 4 in deed. ' , . Let us be done with fault finding, and leave off self-seeking. May we put away all pretense and meet each other face to face- without self-pity. and without prejudice. May we never be hasty in judgment and always generous.

H a ' Grant that we may realize it is the little things that create differences: that in the big things of life we are at one. .And may we strive to to uch and to know the great, common woman's heart of us all, and O Lord God, let us forget not to be kind.

fi Tie A QVC C5 ENITITIBEE in Entering 0115155 uf Nurses' 011111252 fDelivered September, 1921, by John Lear, A. B., A. M., M.

Furthermore, the institution you enter has been the life work of an ideal, the evolution of an ideal that required sleepless nights and weary hours of anxiety to realize.
