WITHERSPOON DODGE SEEMED TO BE AT HIS BEST ATTENDANCE GOOD And Pastor Preached on "Perfec tion Through Suffering" Was Very Impressive. Tho subject of Rev^.iiD. Wither spoon Dodge's Bermon : ' at Central Presbyterian church yesterday morn ing was "Perfection Through Suffer ing,": and it was one' of tho most in teresting and convincing hoard in An derson recently. It was ,in . sub stance-aa follows:. "To make the captaiu of our sal vation perfect through suffering." Heb. 2:10. Tho Perfection of Jesus.... These words aro written concerning Jesus Christ. A moment's reflection upon them startles the mind with a serious question. Wlas not Jesus Christ always perfect? How could He then be made perfect? W?at do tho words mean when they say that Jesus Christ was mado perfect? There are two ways of answering tho difficulty raised by such questions. One way Is to say that tho words do not really mea.'*.' what they say; t?e othtx way is lo revise the common conception of tne Person ot Jesus ;whjch. regards.Jrtlm as haying. passed through no sort of development ?.t'?ll .by which He gradually reached Uro perfectlqn I withycwhlck. Ho was crown ed .when' He had done a .finished work and was : ready to return to the Fath er with the glory teat He had with Him from the beginning of the world. With the first method of solution, we havo no eympathy. * lt is thor oughly procrusteen.. It comes to the interpretation of tho - Bible wit? cer tain set theories, and says that all of its facts must be made to fit them. Jf tlie facts are stated do not fit so much thc worse for tho facts; they must bo trimmed to fit. This method of procedure haB been the bane of ecclesiastical Interpr?tation, -and an ever-present barrier to progress. Tie churches have established . certain truths In their "standards," ratified them: by the vote of councils and as semblies and made them the sole cri terion foi* tlie appraisement of any other truths WiMch might be suggest ed in the future. :Jf the nev/ truths did not conform to . tho standards, they- *he truths^-must be sacrificed, laid.-ti. the rubbish, hosp. and labeled "heresy,'''. twiMle v,tho 'i'nialllblo cO-in I darda .continued tb exercise; sovereign? sway over mon's minds;'.This IS the.

The ot'.?cr method i of .understanding the meaning of these words must bo adopted. Tho wor&, mean just what they seem tc mean, and lt this wean ing co?iiict? Tr j th our- procouGeiT-ed conception of Jesus Chris*., this con ception must be changed, not the meaning of the .words. Some say t'.-.at thCFe words nu-au that through the curriculum of suffering Cl trist was mado perfect in character by learning certain moral virgina, aa ?tym. ? pathy, ~ patience, obedience, faith. Others say that they mean that Ho was ' thus fitted for the. office of the - cap tain of our salvation. Both of tieso interpretations seem to bei'true-. . For we-aro.told-in t/hia same epistle that He "learned obedience b> . th? things, that Ho; suffered,' and that be cause "He suffered being tempted, II* ^ able also to succor-them that, are tempted," us a "high :RrIest.who' can bo touched with a feeling of, our in firmities." And auch'a. character of course fitted'"Him for the hlgV bfi?ce which : He ' now holds' as tb?/jeapt- .?. pf bur salvation.; , The, Gospel recordsjaisp spfeak of the1 development which 6nr Lord un derwent!

Does it thako Him ol any lesa value to us? * am firmly convinced that only sacn an Interpretation of His person niakk8 Him tor \ Vi? friend; the companion, the elder brotlier, the Savior and the Lord that we poor struggling sons of Adam need. It brings Him infinitely nearer to us. He is a real companion for us in every experience of lifo through which we must pasB: 'Tho Savior hath passed through its portals before Thee, And the lamp of Ilia love. Is Thy guide, through the gloom. " Perfection Is the Purpose of Life. That which Jesus was made is tuc aim of every other lifo. He vraa made perfect a? an illustration of the ideal that- should attract us. Ono of tho old church fathers,has the right idea of the matter when he says that "God became a man in Jesus in order to make mah godlike? JCSUB pu? - this Ideal and aim before us in* the sermon on tho mount, when He ta4d| ."I?o -*o perfect, even az your Father in heaven is perfect?" Paul, His servant knew .that this was man's business in thc world, too, when he defined as his aim in preaching "to present every mun perfect in Christ Jeaas," and al so, when he wrote that_lha end of every life was to come to "a full grown man, even to the measure of the stature of the fullness." It would be difficult to define per fection, I eupposo. Definations hard ly ever define with any thorough-go ing satisfaction. We might say that perfection is the full and harmonious development of our every power and faculty, physlcel, mental, moral and spiritual. Or wo might say that It ii' that slnte of hoing in which thero ls no desirable element of personality lacking. But these definitions aro ab stract. We get the truest ideas of things from a concrete representation of them. No definition of an orang* as to Ito 6hips, color, size or contents 1 can compare wita a sight of the ob- ? ject. It is just so with tlie ideal of perfection. Have we a concreto re presentation or this? Indeed we have. ta Him of whom tho text speaks. In In Luke'a gospel,. Jesus is recorded .a*? saying, 'Wo disciple is above His Master, but the disciple, when 'he ls perfect, shall bo as His Master." Jesus ls Himself the perfect man. . In HIB unlimited love for overyorie and ev^rythng,. Whet1*.: er friends or ene mies;'lh His Utter, unselfishness and willingness to sacrifie* Himself for truth'or righteousness or people; in HIS supremo devotion to duty as em bodied' iu His Father's will; in His faithfulness to His mission oven unto death; in the full realization of every characteristic which could be desired in eithor man or God,-in these things, Jesus Christ stands before the eyes of all who will look upon His as the constant ideal of perfection. Ecce PJome! / The Way by Which Perfection is - 1tenoned. There is but one way by which per fection is reached; it ls by th? way ot experience in which 'wo accept will ingly whatever of suffering comes in to Our lives. 'Have wo never stopped tb wonder why Jesus Christ, tho Son of God in whom the' Father. wasrevor well pleas ed, endured1 such sufferings as 'the gospels 'r?cord concerning Ills' life? HavA ?wo not s?metlm?s1' thbug'.'.t it btraqggi'that He should., suffer as rio' one. ever suffered before br since? The jBpspeis db.'.not tell .us why He^so Tsutfe%o*.,:-' ThViy" only record .the facts' of-'His life. It is to tho. Epistles that we gc for tho.iexplanation" of those,, facts; . ^he. gospels are history; the Epibttes'ar? philosophy. The gospels t?li" ne what happened; In. His lifo'; tho Epistles 'tell ras why such things hap pened. The gospels ?re action, and dwell in tho- realm of the practical; tho epistles are thought, and dweil in t^e realm of the theoretical. And so" these Questions' which we are mov ed to ask as we read the gospels, find their answer in the epistles. We learn from our text the meaning of -those' sufferings in. the family life of J?sus, where He was looked upon as crazy; Of His day.where He was re,-arded aa ?. heretic because He advanced a teach ing which superseded that of Moses end the traditions of the eiders; bf His. sufferings at the hands of tr. o state which looked upon Him as one .ybo would try to set Himself no as. another king, although He comma-vied His. disciples, to render unto Caesar .tije- things that :ore- Caesar's; of His sufferines In Gethsemane, in the .courts of injustice -abd - on t Calvlary'e hill.

' ; ; It is through the'disciplirie Of Such suffor-ing that our lives como to per fection. -It is not by the road of ease and comfort and luxury that wo reach it. Mrs. Browning ls but one of tho many voices that could tell us that il'ae "learned in suffering what she-zang in verse* *' : Our statesmen who renounce the' popularity which' might easily, bo . theirs. at the cost of the sacrifice Of conscience, and con victions, could also tell us that suf fering has been- ? faithful master in tho perfecting of their characters.

Jesus really was tempted in all points like as we are, yet without ein; ond bo I caus? Ho 'vas BO tempted, Ho ls ablo j j to Buce- - vaem that are tempted. I We u...y learn next what is the real ! purpose of life. It is that wo may bo made perfect. Not liappinusB is the end of life, not comfort, not the amassing of a great fortune, not to be a prime favorite, arnoug: our fel lows, not to understand all of thc mysteries of lifo, not to accept with a mental assent s?me cree i suppos ed to inclose all truth; nothing ot theso external and partial things nro to bo the object of our soul's striv ings, but that we may be made per fect even.,as our F?t?er in heaven ls perfect. ''"''< I A third lesson relates to God's part itu the sufferings, of .life. Doe? God j send all of our .sufferings on us? Tho truth seems rather' to he, that in a I lifo which cannot be ' made perfect I apart from sufferiugSi He comes to j share our sufferings wlAh us. In all of our afflictions, Ho is afflieted; and the angel of His presento saves us. I God is not a solitary spectator of the things t?at try our souls. The doe I trine of the impassibility of God has i no countenance at all in scripture, nor in the realm of common sense. - He IB alwnys our Father, and the Father of "how much more" than our earth ly parents. We thftu learn finally the trae mean ing of Buffering in life. In |>" c midst of the dark cloud that surrounds us whilo it is upon us, we may be able to eeo no light, ' We may think that our sufferings aro worso than use less; that they.are absolutely cruel. Not so. They have a meaning and a purpose, and they are fitting us with tie garments of-perfection wh'ch wo Ehall one day wear. In tho book of R?v?lation, there io a.picture of cer tain ones who in heaven aro Been to have on exceedingly white robes. Tho question la asked, Where did theee come from? Aad the answer ls, Thee are, they b'.iat have passed through great, tribulation, . whose robes have been made -white' In the blood of tho i lamb.
