CRAUNKE SPEAKS TO
GRADUATING nurses
Hospital Leader Dis G usses
Lies Acid Test in Bacca-
laureate Address

Answering the query, what are
the marks Of q real nurse?" Rev. H.
w. Graunke, business manager Of the
Bismarck Evangelical hospital, set
forth the characteristics and stand
ards by which they may be judged
on an address, 1.-THE Acid Test" at
the annual baccalaureate service for
the graduating class Of the hospital
training school Sunday evening In
the city auditorium.
He spoke Of tests to which one Is
put In every day life, comparing
these tests Of character with those
used by chemist in determining the
genuineness Of fabrics by applying
the acid test. He showed that it is
the way life is lived. rather than
the creed professed, which makes for
real Christianity.
Speaking Of those persons who seem
to meet imperfectly the requirements
usually associated with the Christian
life he said:
Il wish I could make such men and
such women. many Of whom are real.
" noble souls, lose sight Of our falter.
Ing preachers, our fallible churches
forget the theological terms which
only confuse them, and behold the
Christ whom they really know In
Jesus Of Nazareth.
again I wish I could make some
really religious men and women see
that because they are unloving to
their fellow-men. they are far away
from the Christ whom they acclaim.
The speaker referred to religion not
as q set doctrine. nor q creed, iden-
titled with UNCONVENTIONAL name. but
rather an overwhelming emotion. 1T
Is profound emotion. leading us t.
great surrender and q great sacrifice
he said.
