MEASURING VALUES
IS BISHOPS THEME
Rt. Rev. DR.. Freeman Sees Ten
dency to Consider Principally
Outstanding Features.

The tendency Of measuring values
by conspicuous and outstanding fea-
lures instead Of their intrinsic quail
ties was deplored by Rt. Rev. James
E. Freeman. Episcopal Bishop of
Washington, at Mount st. Alban yes
terday afternoon.
''The whole tendency Of our time"
said the bishop, has been to unduly
magnify the conspicuous and out
standing things. The standards by
which we measure efficient service
are largely commercial. We are too
much impressed with quantity and
too little with the quality of service.
Our youths today are being told
to measure success by the volume ex-
pressed in material value that ac-
crues to their effort"
Discussing the service rendered by
persons 'inconspicuouS but very val
liable" the bishop declared 1.-The field
OF service has become so broad In
our time that the genius Of the
prophet has so far waned that 1t has
become less and less evident. We
shall hardly have a revival all along
the line until we come once again
to appraise the true worth and value
OF those who render high-grade but
inconsnicuOus service"
