THE SPIRIT OF WOMEN


"I have no fear nor shrinking. I have seen death so often that
it is not strange or fearful to me.... I thank God for this
ten weeks' quiet before the end. Life has always been hurried
and full of difficulty. This time of rest has been a great
mercy. They have all been very kind to me here. But this I
would say, standing as I do in view of God and eternity, I
realise that patriotism is not enough. I must have no hatred
or bitterness towards anyone."

--EDITH CAVELL's last message.
