Albert Dieffenbach, pastor of the Universalist church in Hartford, preached at the evening service at the Methodist church last evening, taking as his theme “The Soul of Efficiency.” Throughout his entire sermon, al- though at times he dwelt rather in theories, he expounded upon the values of efficiency, explaining how Jesus Christ had been efficient and that to follow his teachings would lead to efficiency. ‘ Bringing his sermon into modern language and dealing with modern events, Rev, Mr. Dieffenbach gave an original formula for efficiency. It was V equals I minus S. In this simple equation the pastor said V stood for value, I stood for individual or in- come and S stood for ' supervision. Thus, he said, efficiency is nothing but getting a maximum amount of work with a minimum amount of super- vision. To better explain this, he cited an example of three stenographers. one a recent graduate, another who had some experience and third an ex- pert. The first earned $6 per week. She took dictations slowly, made poor copy, misspelled words, her employer had to read carefully her letters and they generally had to be done over. Therefore she received the minimum | amount of pay and received the maxi- | mum amount of supervision from her employer. The second clerk did her | work fairly well. She made only a few mistakes and her employer had ' to supervise her only casually. The third, an efficient, stenographer, re- ceived a maximum amount of pay and a minimum amount of super- vision because she did her work ao- curately, knew just what her em- ployer wanted and did it without being told or supervised. She had passed the acid test and her employer knew she could be trusted. The Hartford clergyman cited four things necessary in order to be efficlent. One is to know yourself, the second is to know what you are doing, the third is to know the human nature of those with whom you are working and the fourth is to do your work EDITORIAL TALKS Rev. Warren F, Cook Calls Attention, of His Parishioners to Unanimity in Crisis. To encourage his parishioners keep in close touch with the big events of the day, Rev. Warren F. Cook, pastor of the Methodist church, each Sunday from his pulpit gives them a few minutes’ discourse under the head of ‘‘editorials.” Before in- troducing Rev. A. C. Dieffenbach of Hartford last evening, Rev. Mr. Cook dwelt briefly on two items, one, the unanimous support which the press of the country is giving to the admin- istration in the crisis, and the other, the recent birthday of Hon. Joseph A. Choate. Speaking on the international crisis, said that he has read ed- itorials from newspapers represent- to they all rise like one voice anfl sup- port the administration when the crisis comes. Men and newspapers, a few months ago Dbitterly fighting each other for political supremacy, now cast aside all thought of enmity and flock to the standard of the gov- ernment. It js a gratifying thought, the clergyman said, to realize that in’ this great country the people unan- imously support their president, their principles and their sacred traditionsl Pastor Cook saild that to read the life history of the Hon. Joseph A. Choate would be a good thing for the young mea of today for in its j over dangerous places, pages they could learn much of ad- vantage to themselves, even as he himself had done in his earlier years. Explaining brieflly, the pastor said that the Hon, Joseph A. Choate is one of the greatest lawyers this country has ever had and is regarded as one of the leading pleading lawyers in the world. He also represented this country for about five years as am- bassador to Great Britain, where he rendered the United States service. The keen humor wit of the lawyer, tiding him ofttimes was another commendable thing of which Pastor Cook spoke. CEASE BEING NEUTRAL Rev. Dr. G. W. C. Hill at Vespers De- clares Time Has Come to Take Sides avors Fighting for Principles, That the time has now come to cease to be neutral and to take sides, is the opinion of Rey. Dr. George W. C. Hill, expressed at the South church vesper services yesterday afternoor when he spoke on ‘*Lincoln vs Kaiser.” ' The church was decorated with American flags and it was an- nounced that the speaker next Sun- day afternoon would be Hon. John H. Light, former attorney-general of this state. He will talk on ‘Lincoln and Americanism.” In his patriotic\talk yesterday af- ternoon Dr. Hill rdviewed the inter- national situation, then declared that until now he 'had ever been heutral. In view of present conditions, he said, the time has come, according to his belief, to cease to be neutral and to take sides with one party or the other. Referring to the world war being waged in Europe, he said the result 18 to have a world changing effect on § the universe, both‘ gorgraphically and |the United States, Dr. Hill did morally. Dr. Hill said that on the one side the United States is confront- power, an absolute monarchy, as ex- emplified by the Kaiser, and on the other by a government by the people as exemplified by the immortal Lin- caln. Speaking of the Kaiser, Dr. Hill said he did not really think that he was a true and representative type of a German. He does not have the right kind of love for his people, else he would not be sending them to the awful carnage he does, the preacher said. Speaking on the preparedness of think it wise to give up principle; cause of any lack of preparation ed with a dominance by a one-man ;cited the instance of the early tlers, even less prepared, fightin, their principles. He then bro fourth a striking simile.” He inqy whether, if a young girl becam ancially embarrassed, would it her anything to sell her Should a man become finan. barrassed would it boot him anyy in the end to become crooked?: h 15 the preacher answered, it is the ciples for which the country stand, the principles as lald do Abraham Lincoln. * kK & & kX K L) * * & * &k ® Kk * ’ii’*t*tQ "Where LIBERTY dwells, there slavery can Lincoln was right. not be.” ABRAHAM LINCOLN 1809~1865 The hardest day’s work is easy if you're smoking and chewing 'good old LIBERTY long cut tobacco.
