JUe lo ience Pled SOLEMNLY pledge myself before God, and in the presence of this assembly, to pass my life in purity and to practice my profession faith¬ fully. I will abstain from whatever is deleterious and mischievous, and will not take or knowingly administer any harmful drug. I will do all in my power to elevate the stand¬ ard of my profession, and will hold in confidence all personal matters committed to my keeping, and all family affairs coming to my knowledge, in the practice of my calling. With loyalty will I endeavor to aid the phy¬ sician in his work, and devote myself to the wel¬ fare of those committed to my care. THE NURSES’ RESIDENCE 11

Qn iAatun Heaven is not reached at a single bound; But we build the ladder by which we rise From the lowly earth to the vaulted skies, And we mount to its summit, round by round. I count this thing to be grandly true: That a noble deed is a step towards God ,— Lifting the soul from the common clod To a purer air and a broader view. We rise by the things that are under feet; By what we have mastered of good and gain; By the pride deposed and the passion slain. And the vanquished ills that we hourly meet. We hope, we aspire, we resolve, we trust. When the morning calls us to life and light, But our hearts grow weary, and, ere the night. Our lives are trailing the sordid dust. We hope, we resolve, we aspire, we pray. And we think that we mount the air on wings Beyond the recall of sensual things. While our feet still cling to the heavy clay. Wings for the angels, but feet for m.en! We may borrow the wings to find the way — We may hope, and resolve, and aspire, and pray But our feet must rise, or we fall again. Only in dreams is a ladder thrown From the weary earth to the sapphire walls; But the dreams depart, and the vision falls. And the sleeper wakes on his pillow of stone. Heaven is not reached at a single bound; But we build the ladder by which we rise From the lowly earth to the vaulted skies. And we mount to its summit, round by round. J. G. Holland.
