We are grateful to Mrs. Ward for her kindness in writing to us. Here is her letter -"I am sending a copy of 'A Physician's Wife's Prayer' with the hope that, some­time, you might find a place for it in your publication. (Incidentally, your Linacre Quarterly is read avidly by many medics' wives.) "A Physician's Wife's Prayer" 'Dear Gad, please grant me a full awareness af my responsibilities as a helpmate to my physician-husband. He lp me to cultivate, practice and love the virtue of un­selfishness, that he may see in me the perfect wife and help mate . 'Teach me to sacrifice my own plans ch!)erfully when they are• inconsistent with hi duties to the ·sick and afflicted, and, lastly, sustain me in my e ffort to shoulder those responsibilities which are mine to bear, that he may be free to minister to those_ people entrusted to his care. Amen.' "The prnyer is original. having been written by me on the occasion of an invita­tion by the Norfolk South District Auxiliary to the Massachusetts Medical Socie·,· to offer an invocation before a luncheon meeting in May. "Having been the organizer and the first president of this group from 1950-5 l. and subsequently the president on the State level of the Auxiliary to the Masse•· chusetts Medical Society, 1953-54, I have always tried to further Catholic thought and action by embodying its principles in my talks whenever possible. With so many splendid women representing all faiths in our membership, my experience has been that the woman who is interested enough in her husband's profession to join the Auxiliary, possesses the virtues of faith, hope and charity to a marked degree whether she be a Jewess, Protestant or Catholic . .. 142 Frances E.
