greatness or goodness or some
other ideal; always, ther* have
been able to rise above the mono
tony of daily routine because the>
have been more conscious of this
future goal. It has called to them
like the unknown horizons of the
West called to the early c oneers,
rekindling their spent vAergies
each day, and renewing their de
termination. In contrast, the aim
less life is harrowing, monoton
ous, unhappy, and uncreative.
BUT MORE IMPORTANT
THAN HAVING JUST ANY
GOAL, it is good to set our goals
high from the very beginning,
rather than to be content with
little ends. Archer Wallace points
that out in his scrap book, when
he writes: “We are here, not to
acquire material possessions which
we must leave behind, nor to in
dulge in selfish pleasures, nor
even to acquire knowledge which
at most is partial, but we are here
to meet each experience in such
a way that we shall be able to
thank God for it.” It will make a
great difference in your life which
level of purpose you seject as your
ultimate goal! There is no ques
tion in most people’s lives regard-'
ing the holding of a goal or pur
pose (we each have our well-'
defined purposes, known to our-1
selves, if not to others). The1
question is, rather, “What is the
nature of our goal, and what :s
our motive in seeking it?” Some1
want reputation, some want power
over others, some want financial :
security, some want only to find ]
the right partner and gain a <
private home life. In the case of
nurses, I am not qualified to list
their motives, although I imagine ^
they are not unlike those of the 1
rest of us (barring the obvious ex- *
ception that no one would choose 1
nursing il his only desire were
money!) I do know that I have
found among nurses some of the
most long-suffering, truest and
self-sacrificing people I have'ever
known, and that I honor your pro
fession as equal to the Christian
ministry in every way.
BUT I WOULD LEAVE WITH
YOU THIS THOUGHT: When
Jesus neared his last days, he felt
that he was entering into a special
time of effectiveness, when his

' Go<J in prayer — the prayer that
we call the “long prayer,” or “the
pastoral prayer,” when he prayed
for his disciples and for himself
In the heart of that prayer were
these words: “For their sakes, 1
consecrate myself.” IS THAI
NOT THE GREATEST AND
HIGHEST REASON FOR CON
SECRATING ONE’S LIFE?—tc
set one’s life to sacred service, not
for any selfish or personal reason,
but for the sake of those who arc
being served?
Perhaps you are too close to
notice it, but having served as a
hospital chaplain and in many
city hospitals as a local minister,
I "know that the ministry of tne
nurse is one of the most vital ele
ments in the recovery of a patient.
^Psycho - somatic medicine has
, taught us all the undreamed im
portance of the condition of tha
patient’s mind in the prognosis of
| his illness. The nurse whose life
is consecrated in service to her
j patients is one of the most effec
tive instruments of healing at
God’s disposal!
THEN LET THIS BE YOUR
PRAYER AT THE BEGINNING
of your chosen career of service:
“Father, for their sakes, I con
secrate myself.” For the sakes of
those uncounted suffering persons
whom I shall serve in the years
ahead, that ir. their time of need
I shall be to them a nurse, and
more than a nurse, that I shall be
to them an istrument in God’s
hand transmitting his healing
power. ‘Father for their sakes, I
:onsecrate myself.”

Hubbard had earlier told the
group it was all but impossible
and certainly impractical to at
tempt to solve any housing prob

non-segregation, he said, the eter
nal problem of how many units
to build for whites and how many
to build for Negroes is automati
cally solved.
He pointed out that any builder
wants to first know how manyj
units are needed before he starts
to build. Also, he said, the FHA
