THE HENDERSON GOLD LEAE THURSDAY, JUNE 14, 1906. The Gold Leaf. THURSDAY, JUNE 14, 190C The Trained Nurse. God's Latest Gift to the World of Pain, Says Rev. Dr. Witherspoon. Richmond Tinies-IHfpMtoh, May 27. Kev. Dr. Jere Witherspoon preached the baccalaureate sorrnon lefore the graduating class and nurses of the Memorial Hospital at the Grace Street Presbyterian Church last night. His sermon was very impres sive and was closely followed by the large congregation. His subject was "The Heavenly Pattern," Hebrews 8:5. "God and His relation to us, my friends," ho began, "are the two great facts of all religion. The material ist, deist and atheist put Him too far away from man, and the pantheist brings Him too close. "Character should be built accord ing to the pattern of God. In the making of character there are three steps. First, the pattern or copying period; then the modeling or shaping period, and last, what might becalled the type or the development of the sign which marks the idea. The life man lives will have the shaping of the artist's model which he sets be fore one. Man must ever build upon the model revealed to him. "God has for each life in this world a calling, and someday, as He did to Moses, He will call us to give instruc tions. To call one's work in life an employment, livelihood, profession or occupation is unworthy, and merely signifies the gaining of wealth or the keeping of life in the body. Let what we do be our calling; it links life with God, who shall reveal to us the pattern of our work." Dr. Witherspoon went on to tell the nurses that their calling was one of mercy. It was noble, and de manded unselfish sacrifice. Dut there is a great joy and satisfaction in the vocation, and one peculiarly fitting to woman. The trained nurse is Heaven's latest gift to the world of pain. She comes as a ministering angel, and her work is more t han a profession. The nurse must be as clean in son) as her spotless white uniform. She must be cheerful to comfort the lagging spirits of sick minds and bodies. She must be true to her calling. It is only God and the stars who see her at night as she goes about relieving the pain of the suffering. Wonderful Work of the Modern Women. IalIuH (TexnH)Niwn. There is a saying to the effect that man's work is from sun to sun, but woman's work is never done. The Virginia Press is loud in its praises of the women workers of the Old Do minion. The press of the other States doubtless has quite as good ground for generous applause. The story goes that recently the city of Norfolk was officially declared to be "the dirtest city in the United States, with one exception." This statement was intolerable to the women of Norfolk and the Woman's Club went "manfully" to work to clean up the city. "Municipal clean ing day" was proclaimed by Mayor Kiddick at the instance of the club and much cleaning was done on that day, April 11. Dut the city is not yet as clean as the Woman's Club desired, and the good work goes on. The- Richmond Times-Dispatch de clares that the women of Virginia are doing their part, in fact more than their part, in promoting the cause of popular education. The Roanoke Times 6ays that as a result originated by the women of that city, the School Board will ask the City Council for an additional ap propriation of $12,000 to be devoted to needed improvements in several of the school buildings. Several years ago a handful of Richmond women put their pretty heads together and formed a plan to jinprove the school system. As a re sult there is the Richmond Education Association, and all who know any thing about it are proud to admit that this association, started and largely maintained by women, has dose more than any single agency to ward awakening popular interest in popular education, not only in .Rich mond but throughout theentire State The Richmond Training School for Kindergarteners is the direct result of work of the Richmond Education Association. Not only so but the inauguration of kindegarten instruc tion in the public schools of Rich mond is to be credited to the work and influence of this orgization and the Training School has supplied the teacners lor that department of pub lic school work. Of course it is not necessary to go out of Texas to find willing women workers to praise for trood work There is not a place in the State that does not owe the citv pride and pub lie spirit of its people largely to the efforts and the leadership of pro gressive women. They are learning in these recent years how to unite the forces for even larger tasks and there are few observant and fairminded men who are not ready to confess that the most important and suc cessful movements are those that have been inspired and directed by tne women. Scientists All at Sea. New York Press. "The land on wbieh we live and build our homes the land which the sea writ ers of the early part of the last century confidently aud almost affectionately termed terra tlnna is well nigh as rest less as the ocean which washes its shores. In England at least 70 unfelt earth quakes, each of which has a duration varying from 20 minutes to several hours, may be recorded yearly. Our buildings rock and sway, if we could but see them, as the masts of a ship on a heaving sea. To be sure, the incessant rising and falling of the waters is more violent than the motion of the land, but the diSerence between the two is largely a amerence oi effect tne difference be tween a billow and a ripple." This was written by one of the editors of the Scientific American just 'after the Mont Pelee disaster. It is of particular interest at the present time when scient ists are befogging the public with the multiplicity of their explanations of the San Francisco earthquake. The fact of the matter is that all the scientists are guessing as to what caused the earthquake. One theory is just as good as another. No one knows, and it is impossible for anyone to prove that his theory is correct. Theories relating to all branches oi scientific study are co nstantly being made over. Jesus Described. Text of a Letter By An Officer of the Court of Pontius Pilate. Berlin Dinpatcb. The Orient correspondent has just made public the text of a letter writ ten by Publius Leatulus, an officer of Pontius Pilate's court, to the Roman emperor, which, as announced ex clusively in t he World last week, was rediscovered in the library of the Lazarist Fathers in Rome. If this letter proves authentic it may be considered the most import ant historical document ever discov ered regarding the personality of Jesus. It purports to have been written just as Christ was beginning his preaching through Judea. It reads: 1 have learned, O Caesar, that you desired some information regarding this virtuous man called Jesus, the Christ, whom the people consider a prophet and his disciples regard as the Son of God, creator of heaven and earth. It is a fact that every day one hears wonderful things told of him. To be brief, he makes the dead rise and he leals the sick. He is a man of medium size, whose appearance indicates both great sweetness and such an amount of dignity that one feels in looking at mn that he must love mm, ana at the same time fear him. His hair, down to his ears, is of the color of ripe walnuts and hangs down on his shoulders as a light blonde and clear mass; it is parted in the middla, according to the fashion of the Nazarenes. His beard, of the same color as his hair, is curly, and although not very long, is parted in he middle like his hair. His eves are rather severe and shine ike the sun; it is impossible for any one to look him long in the face. W hen he scolds he inspires fear, but very soon he himself begins to shed tears. Even in his most severe moods le is affable and benevolent. It is said that no one has ever seen him augh, and that he sheds tears very often. Everyone finds that his conversa tion is agreeable and attractive. He is not seen very often in public, and when he appears he carries himself rnodestlv. His manners are very distinguished; ie is even beautiful. It is perhaps because his mother is the best look- ng woman ever seen in these parts. If you wish to see him, O Caesar, as you wrote me once, let me know and shall send him to you. Although he has never pursued any tudies, he is well up in every branch if knowledge. He goes around barefooted and without head cover. Many people make fun of him when thev see him coming, but as soon as they are in his presence they tremble and admire him. The Hebrews say that they have never seen a man like him, nor heard teachings like those he imparts. Many believe that he is a god, and others assert that he is thine enemy, O Caesar. These naughty Jews give me much rouble. They say he has never given trouble to anybody, but that, on the ontrary, he tries to make everyone iappy. JAMESTOWN EXPOSITION. Will Be Most Unique Affair of the Kind Ever Undertaken Historical Celebration to Be narked By Con gress of World's Navies All Na tions Are Invited. 'reus Comment. "Something new in expositions will be that on Hampton ltoads in 1907, begin ning April 2( and closing November 1. Almost all other expositions have been held in, inland towns and all have been industrial in character. This Jamestown Exposition will beheld at a point almost equi-distant from Cape Henry, where the ..nghsh hrst landed their ships in the spriug of 1)07, and Jamestown, where they finally established their settlement, on one of the most historic bodies of water on the face of the globe, a harbor which is large enough to float all the navies of civilization.' "Overlooking this splendid bay. the Jamestown Exposition will in 1907 com memorate the beginning of the American Kepublic, the genesis of the white man in what is now the United States, the Ter centennial of the first English settlement u the new world. "Situated in a territory which has been the battleground in all of the great wars in America; burnt by savages in its early days; during the English wars ravaged by foreign foes, it was the theater of the chief struggle of 1861-1803, and on the roads naval engagements have been fought as memorable as any of the mili tary conflicts on lrgima soil. " 1 he site chosen is a peculiarly happy one, because few Americans born in this country are without ancestors who have a personal interest in this section. "On this same body of water in 1892 a fair sized naval fleet was assembled in honor of the four hundredth anniversary of the discovery of America: in 1907 no nation will be unrepresented at the tre mendous naval rendezvous which will be held there. "President Roosevelt has by authority of Congress invited all countries to send to the Ter-Centennial Celebration their ships of war and regiments of their sol diery. Our own nation will take a con spicuous part, and the greatest display oi sea power that the world has ever wit nessed will be in evidence to honor the celebration which has meant so much to the world. "From the inception of the movement to celebrate the event every energy of the managers has been directed toward the end that the celebration should be his toric, not commercial, in character, and that it should teach to all visitors the salient fact in our country's story; that lA. 1 I 1 " 11 1 " . ii miouiu impress upon an wno viewea it, the humble beginning of the nation. the various stages of development through which it passed, its evolution and its present crandeur. "The Jamestown celebration is to a large extent an official eovernmeut af fair. The President of the United States has shown an interest in it and the act of Congress which authorized the exposi tion, nominated the secretary of war. the secretary of the treasury and the secretary of the navy as Jamestown Ter-Centennial Commissioners, and di rected them to take charge of the gov ernment celebration. "Hampton lloads has the largest deep land-locked harbor on the Atlantic sea board, it has a superficial area of nearly one hundred and sixty square miles, the greatest part of which affords safe an cnorage. "On Hampton Roads durio&r the civil war, the Merrimac and the Monitor fought. Here in 1907. reproductions ol these famous vessels will meet asrain and fight over that famous battle. Visitors can upon excursion steamers pass over the exact scene oi that engagement.

Southern Girls as Waiters. Goldsboro Headlight. The average Southern man has been so accustomed to colored ser vants that he is naturally averse at first blush to seems Southern white girls taking positions as waiters at hotels. Two hotels have recently mside the innovation in North Caro- na-the Brirrs House at Wilson, and the Benbow House at Greens boro. In Loth instances the changes lave been satisfactory alike to patrons and to the managers. Asked as to whether the young white women employed had improved the service, the proprietors oi tne jjenoow nouse made this reply: "ReDlvincr to your letter of several days ago, will state that our change from negro to white help nas proven satisfactory and our hopes have been more than sustained. We have about thirty girls, eight of whom came from theftortli, while the others are irom North Carolina. We secured the few Northern girls in the beginning for the reason that we inaugurated this change during the latter part of the summer when it was hard to get girls in our own State on account of the act that the mountain resorts were still open and had almost all of the available ones employed for the sea son. Another reason was on account of the fact that Northern girls that we sent for were employed in large New England hotels where they were accusto med to h andl ing large crowds, while our North Carolina girls only lad experience of smaller houses. We are glad to say, however, that the North Carolina girls are doing remarkably well and are now just as systematic about their work as the New England girls, who have had ong training, from which our native srirls have derived great benefit. down pains are a symptom of the most serious trouble which can attack" a woman, viz: falling of the womb.

C. 4iWe believe these girls all enjoy their work and it is a pleasure for us to state that they have given us very little trouble certainly nothing to compare with the negroes, who kept U3 in constant turmoil on account of frequent changes and the everlasting annoyance of . the waiters, who con stantly worked for their tip. Quite different with the girls. They never impress one as looking for a fee, while thev are always attentive, clean and tidy. "We try to make the life in the hotel as pleasant as posSTble, and with this end in view have set aside a parlor where they receive their friends in the evening." Throughout the West it is the al most universal rule to find young women acting as waiters at hotels. They are sometimes graduates of high schools, they enjoy the fullest respect of the community, save their money, and some of them are thrifty and prosperous. The young women who have taken places at Wilson and Greensboro are of the same type, and it is gratifying to see that the man agement recognizes that they are en titled to parlors and such accommo dations as will attract young women of worth and character. His Wife Convinced Him. Lonisburg Times. One of our citizens who occasion ally wipes the dishes for his wife, be came tired of the job and refused, sayingthat "it isnot a man'swork." Not feeling disposed to lose his help she brought the Bible out to convince him of his error and read as follows from II Kings, 21-13: "And will wipe Jerusalem as a man wipeth a dish, wiping it and turning it upside down." It is needless to sav that he S still doing his occasional stunt.
