Fell Down to Worship the Nurse

By Della Burroway

A NURSE and I were called to attend one of those helpless shut-in women of India, who, unless the lady doctor or nurse takes pity upon them, are left to die, no man being permitted to see them. The apparently dead child was cast aside with such exclamations as, “How sad! it’s a boy.” Our nurse began to work vigorously over the babe, which, after several minutes, showed signs of life. With its first cry, the women who had been busy over the mother, fell at the feet of the one who they supposed had given life, and had to be restrained from giving her the praise due our Creator.
