GREETINGS from our SISTERS A T THE OUTSET it may be appropriate to say that I have been with you only a short time, and should I insert my note of congratulations? — but, then, nurses have been my friends in the past, under many circumstances. You also have become dear to me in these few months and so soon will you be leaving this roof to answer the call to many a branch of your Profession. There are many beautiful descriptive thoughts that I would like to express on this occasion — but it is not becoming in these times to use many words —• thus I will say a heartfelt, “God bless you, ever protect and guide you’’. Wherever you go our thoughts and prayers are with you. Never perhaps, in history, have nurses been called on so much as at present and never were they asked to face a world that demands so much in personal adjustment and service. The world of to-day indeed needs “A strong Woman’’ of whom the Wise man speaks in the Book of Proverbs. Surely, “the price of such persons surpasseth gold and precious stone which are brought at a great cost from the ends of the world!” I wish to consider you all as “Strong Women”, Wo¬ men of character, perfect nurses, outstanding in your generosity and heroism. Rev. Sister A. BRODEUR, Superintendent of Nurses. I T IS WITH great pride that we see you step forth in the professional world. No doubt, you realize the responsibility that is yours, for you know that the spirit and achievements of your profession as a whole, spring from the spirit and achievement of the individuals comprising it. For this reason you must be personally worthy of your high calling. As you stand upon the threshold of your career may I recall to you the words of a great physician, Lord Moynihon of Leeds: “This then is the nurse’s office. To be ready in all emergency, quick and competent in ac¬ tion, considerate in thought; a comfort in hours of sorrow, an inspiration and encouragement in times of gloom; to give ease to many a weary body and solace to many a troubled heart; to lift with strong and gentle hands a heavy load of anguish from those who falter and stumble in despair. It is to be a beacon of hope, a rock of refuge and a tower of strength”. Such is your task. Our congratulations and best wishes accompany you. Sister Albina BOISVERT, S.G.N., General Superintendent and Superior. 5
