TO OUR NURSES In the hospitals of our cities, A group of nurses work. Their hours are long ana tiresome. But their duties, never shirlv. Countless patients they must care for Through the week, the month, the year; Everyone who needs attention Gets full measure, never fear. God knows how they suffer From pains, and aches, or something worse; He in heaven watches o er them. Both the patient and the nurse. Anonymous. A NURSE ' S PRAYER Keep us, O God, from pettiness: let us be large in thought, in word, in deed. Let us be done with fault-finding, and leave oft self-seeking. May we put away all pretense and meet each other face to face — without sell-pity and without prejudice. May we never be hasty in judgment and always generous. Let us take time for all things: Make us to grow calm, serene, gentle. Teach us to put into action our better impulses, straightforward and unafraid. 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 touch and to know the great, common human heart of us all, and, O Lord God, let us forget not to be kind. Mary Stewart. 63
