I wonder how many of you ladies listening to me this morning think of your sex is being quite remarkable. The other night while driving home very late, I was listening to the news on the radio in my car and all the news was bad. Wars, rumors of wars, revolt, revolutions, satellites, missiles, death and destruction. And then I passed the Royal Alex Maternity Hospital, and up in the case rooms many lights were burning. New lives were being brought into this troubled world, by women like you. George Bernard Shaw once said, "Women know instinctively, even when they are echoing male glory stuff, that communities live, not by slaughter and death, but by creating life and nursing it to its highest possibilities”. My friend, isn't that true. There never has been a time in this troubled world when things got so black that women folk gave up hope and stopped having little ones. Come wars, come floods, come storms, come strife, come hatred, come what may, women know that life must go on. The men continue to scheme and devise ways and means to destroy life, women go on creating new lives to love, teach, and nurse to their highest possibilities.
