Earnest and Eloquent
Judge Harry S Dungan of Hastings
Nebraska judge of the 10th judicial
district of Nebraska delivered an
address on the Fundamental Needs of
Business in the Congregational church
Sunday evening The address was
earnest eloquent and ethical The
speaker insisted that American business
needed not more cash but more char
acter which sentiment was the keynote
to his address His plea was for men
in the churches in politics in business
virile conscientious Christian men It
was a splendid thought and sentiment he
expanded and the manner of it was en
thusiastic and at times eloquent It
was withal a fine Iaymans evolution of
an up-to-date ideal of business needs
An equally appreciated feature of the
special program of the evening was the
vocal solo by Mrs Harry S Dungan
who sang Millard3 Nearer My God to
Thee effectively and feelingly
The church was well filled and the
occasion worth while in every respect
The Mens Sunday Evening Club of
the church promoted the special service
