s"Next to the calling of house
wives and mothers, the calling of
nurses is one of the noblest," said
Rev. w. F. Georg in his address to
the graduating class from the school
of nursing of Emmanuel hospital last
night. Rev. Georg based his remarks
on the text, "They took knowledge
of them that they had been with Jesus, :"
Jesus" and in his talk urged the
nurses for the three great attributes
which Jesus had to such great ex
tent, courage, patience and love.
1--WE should work with the love of
God and our fellow men in our
hearts, he said, "and put true serv-
ice above desire for money"
Rev. A. F. Winter presented the
diplomas to the young ladies and.
gave a brief talk on the class motto,
Life is Service" urging the nurses
to keep that motto throughout their
work. Those who received diplo-
mas were Miss Martha Rogoshaska,
Miss Augusta Rogoshaska, Miss EN-
lily Tonquist, Miss Ida Coleman, Miss
Lydia Leuders, and Miss Adella
Hampel.
Several very fine musical numbers
were given and the Swedish Luther
an church, where the exercises were
held, was very prettily decorated in
the class colors, olive green and
gold. Palms and golden rod were
used on the platform, forming back
ground for the members of the class.
The service was attended by very
large gathering of people.
