arrival at Scutari the wounded were leing brought in by the
hundreds from the bloody field of Inkerman. "Red tape" in
sisted that all army .supplies should be -inspected before being
used by the troops. This would take three or four days. In
the meantime gangrene and canker would continue their dead
ly toll. .
Single -handed she defied the might of military precedent.
With the butt end of a musket she smashed in the door of the
room where the hospital supplies had teen locked away and
on htr own authority commandeered the contents. Her for-tv-one
nurses at once got busy among the wounded soldiers.
The results of her labors are told succinctly in the report
of the army authorities. In a short time she reduced the
death rate from wounds and sickness from 12 to 2 per cent.
Such services finally compelled recognition, even f rpm i
her most bitter antagonists. At the close of hostilities a din
ner was given to the officers who had helped to achieve the
victory. Someone suggested that a vote be taken as to whose
name would be lest remembered as the hero of the Crimean
war. When the result was given out there was but one name
written nn pverv slin of paper.
And that name was FLORENCE NK'.IITINCALE.
Hut this was not all. The private soldiers who had
learned to adore her under the sobriquet of "The Lady of the
Imp" took up a subscription for her and from their meagre
pittance of pay raised a sum of $250,000. Florence Nightin
gale turned over the whole amount to found a training school
for nurses. . (
How rioarlv h was eherished by the British soldiers is
also well illustrated in the story of the Balaklavan veteran.
This scarred and broken hero many years later, the inmate
of a noorhouse. was being congratulated by visitors on the
Victoria Cross he was wearing on his breast. A well-dressed
lady of title remarket! that the day that cross was conferred
on him must have been the proucest of his life.
The old man drew himself up to his full height. No
madam." he replied. "The proudest day of my life was not
when the Queen of England pinned this ribbon on my tunic,
but when Florence Nightingale laid her hand upon my forehead."
As everyone knows, the work of Florence Nightingale
did not cease with the Crimean war. It has not ceased yet.
Please God, it never will. The Geneva Convention and the
Red Cross were the eventual outcome of her labors. And the
modern hospital and the schools of scientific nursing, as we
know them today, had their inception in the courage and self-
sacrifice of "The Lady of the Lamp.
No object is more worthy of our devotion, more deserv
ing of our understanding. However far the practice and pro
fession of Christianity may diverge in otner pnases oi numan though few realize that the blend

I Two striking addresses were delivered in Salem, within
the: past few days, that bear on an important point in com
munity progress.
jThe first was by Bishop Charles Burns, of the Methodist
church, who on Sunday night prefaced a wonderful sermon
with a quotation from Gilbert K. Chesterton; to the effect
that in looking for a worth while hotel, he did not inquire
about whether the sheets were clean or the food well cooked
or the servants trustworthy, but he was vitally interested to
know of the owner, "What is your total view of the universe?"
He didn t mean to talk cosmic theory or molecular attraction,
but he wanted to know whether the boniface believed in God
and in his fellow man if he held these momentous subjects
in right observance, he couldn't be wrong as a hotel keeper.
The other was by Prof. Reed, 0. Al C. college editor, who
spoke before the Commercial club, Monday, to insist that
"All progress is at bottom a spiritual matter;" and to show
4 that natural advantages of transportation or materials could
J not build the right kind or community progress without a
spiritual outlook that cares for the finer instincts of man.
Love of home, of clean snrroundingsj are more potent for
prosperity than mines or mints, he said; and it is the com
mercial ciub s duty to look first after thce essentials.
v i It can hardly be doubted that there is a widespread
movement to nullify the prohibitory laws that have worked
such beneficent marvels on women and children who used to
go hungry and ragged, upon business that used to have far
more bad bills than it has had under prohibition, upon society
that has been spared the degradation of unrestricted booze.
There is a disposition to condone the violation of these laws:
to hold it clever, or even praiseworthy, to evade its condi.

make all law contemptible by breaking down respect for every
5on oi restrictions.
T If Salem is to take and hold a lead in business, social or
political life, there needs to be a better spirit of law observ
ance than theTe now is. The recent furore over a few small
forgeries, indicates that most people still hold "Laws" as
mandates to be obeyed. " If a dozen or a hundred or five thou
sand people should be either killing or robbing travelers on
the side, or knowing of such killings that they would not re
port because it was smart or tattling to tell of these crimes,
Salem would soon become a moral sink that everything decent
would shun.
If the man who wink at the evasions of the anti-boot
legging laws, were to see any considerable portion of the pub
lic, or the officers, sneenngly rejoice when firebugs burned
his house, thieves stole his automobile forgers made away
with his money, and ravishers invaded the sanctity of his
home, i'e would be very certain that they were doing him and
all society a grievous wrong. Yet his complaisance in the
evasion of the liquor laws is a moral warrant for any thief
or murderer to interpret these laws precisely as he himself
interprets the laws against Vooze.

tangleof mismanagement and, in many departments, under
our own government as well under most of the others, that
conflict was no exception. The stupidity and blunders of gov

the Crimean war of 1854.
" The crass stupidity exhibited duping that war broke its

In the late world war no single soldier whose life by care,
nursing and surgical skill it was issjjble to save was left to
perish for want of organized relief. This result was due to a
reform started in 1S51 by one earnest Christian woman.
' This woman was no dreamer, no sentimentalist. Prom
early youth she had 'devoted her life to the science of practi
cal nursing. So when the Crimean war broke out, there was
no one in England so well fitted to fighj the chaotic conditions
that soon developed in the care of the wounded.
Yet no crusade in a worthy campaign was ever so
snubbed and discouraged. Women on the battlefield were an
innovation that shocked-the war office, The military author
ities, were against her suggestions. Her own sex branded hfr
as unwomanly some applied an uglier epithet. Her action
