Urge me daily onward in this my chosen profession, Redeem me, by Thy never failing power, when I sin, A Always let my mind and heart he pure, Guide me by Thy Holy teachings, Ever thro' my difficulties and temptations. Inspire me by Thy most holy word and Never forsake me in the hour of need. Devotions I daily offer up to Thee, I Interceding for my redemption, Father l ask Thee to guide me Faithfully along the straight narrow path g In time, when my mark here on earth is complete, Call me home to Thee at last, so Under Thy guiding influence I may be, Let me never then stray or wander Through the paths of sin again, but keep me In Thy perpetual carei e Ever to remember that my Services were gladly given for Thy bountiful return. 4

.-7 ........ I .- .. ........... .... ...... The Class Motto Dear Graduates : HE CLASS motto is, as a rule, indicative of the distinctive feature, the outstanding trait which characterizes a group of students. At the very beginning of your new life, ere you were scarcely acquainted with one ' another, you met, and after long deliberation and much consultation, you chose a motto as your star for your three years' training - Courage in difficulties. This maxim has already guided you with security. With it con- stantly in mind, you have already surmounted innumerable difficulties-dif ficulties which, though inseparable from the career you have chosen to pursue, :seemed mountain high at the outset, and now, having followed the light of that star, you stand at the summit of your training career, prepared to be sent forth into the world as graduate nurses. It is when you thus launch out into the deep -of the unknown Future, when you will no longer have about you those who so unselfishly and faithfully piloted you through your training, when you will be at the helm alone, that you will need a beaconlight to keep your frail vessel from being shattered by the waves of the briny deep. There lies in the path of every individual enough to contend with and so in the path of the graduate nurse also. It may be difficulties of a physical nature, or of a moral character, or both. In the course of your training you have learned -considerably well how to face these difficulties g but none of us will ever know the lesson of right courage and proper confidence too well. There may come times when in spite of the best will to help your suffering neighbor, things will go wrong and disappointment will follow disappointment.
