GRADUATING EXERCISES OF THE
TRAINING-SCHOOL FOR NURSES
OF THE MEDICO-CHIRURGICAL
HOSPITAL OF PHILADELPHIA.9
THE college orchestra, under the leader-
ship of P. A. Zoells, opened the meeting
by rendering the overture to Suppe's opera:
"Poet and Peasant."
REV. MERVIN J. ECKELS, D.D., then
appeared in supplication, as follows:-
Almighty God, Creator of all! we wor-
ship thee and do offer our homage unto
thee, who art over all. Thy hand, Al-
mighty God, hath fashioned us; and thy
breath hath given us life. Thou dost pre-
serve us upon the earth. We bless thee
for all the manifestations of thy tender
regard for us, the creatures of thy crea-
tion, because thou hast made us, O God;
thou knowest our frame; thou remem-
berest that we are dust; and because thou
knowest us thou dost have compassion
upon our infirmities. We bless thee, that
in the creation of the earth thou hast pro-
vided so many remedies for all those ills
that flesh is heir to; and we bless thee that
thou hast given unto men wisdom to dis-
'The services were held in the new college
amphitheatre, Cherry Street above Seventeenth
Street, Monday, December 11, 1899, at 8 P.M.
cover these remedies for all manner of sick-
nesses and that thou hast given unto them
skill in the art of applying all these things.
We bless thee for all the institutions which,
in the course of time, have been builded up
in order to alleviate the sufferings of hu-
manity. We thank thee for all the inspira-
tion that has come to man from thine own
example, for we believe that thou thyself
didst become flesh and dwell among men,
that thou mightest become the Great Phy-
sician, healing their sicknesses and bearing
their infirmities. And now we pray thee
that thou wilt save us in this hour as we
meet in this institution, which has been
erected in order to carry on this work which
was wrought also by the Son of Man when
He went about doing good. We pray that
thy blessing may rest upon all those that
are engaged in the work of administering
unto the sick, all those that are willing to
give their lives unto the study of this art
of gentle ministry; and to-night we invoke
the divine blessing, especially, upon this
graduating class; upon these young women,
who shall so soon go forth from this in-
stitution to represent them in the midst of
sickness and afflictions; and we pray for
every one of them that thou, O God, wilt
make them strong, that thou wilt make
them gentle, that thou wilt make them pa-
tient, that thou wilt help them to bear all
things and to endure all things. May they
go to their work as those who count not
their lives as dear unto themselves; so that
