spoke TO this body OF men on the
work that is necessary for the lay
man to do in the church. Following
are some excerpts from his speech
efficiency Is one OF the words that
has been overworked In recent years.
Its frequent use is the result OF loose
organization and ineffective methods
in business has made IL necessary 20
think and act In terms OF efficiency
in organization. The consciousness of
inefficiency has brought the modern
world face to face with the problem
Of getting things done with less waste
and decreased loss OF motion. We
have now come to apply efficiency
methods to every line OF endcavor;
We give attention to efficiency sur.
yeys and even the efficiency expert
has become an established vocation
of dignity and importance.
Church Slow to Get Idea.
THE church has been slow TO apply
efficiency methods to Its work. This
is probably due to the fact that the
church realizes that It's mission Is
spiritual and that u should not esti'
mate It's work by mechanical means.
but we need TO realize that the church
Is an institution. and rs such II would
be short.sightednes TO ignore the
means used by other institutions In
increasing It's effectiveness. The

Tucson, with than 10000 population has very
much need for large federal building than town
