AIM OF CHRISTIANS
SHOULD BE PERFECTION.
Growth md Development Character

Says the Rev. II. G. Leonard

The Reverend Harry C. Leonard. pastor
of the Harlem Place NJ. E. Chlrcn. preach
ed there yesterday morning on the text,
Therefore leaving the principles % the
doctrine of Christ. let US 80 on 10 per.-c-
ton He said. in part:
christianity Is life. An orga llsm grows
only so long as life is present The spirit
ual life must be growing one
spiritual stagnation is death Having
laid the foundations of repentance AID
faith We are to go on and complete the
structure of the Christian character. ore
thing calls for another. If 10 superstruc-
ture is reared then even the foundations
crumble and become vine grown 1t IS
not enough that the seed sprout; At must
grow ana IN its season bring forth fruit.
The babe must become man. The neces-
sity of growth is upon everything that lives.
AT conversion our capacity for God is
made alive. The spiritual natur" is quick
ened. This is which is born Of The. split
Thus We have the germ o. perfection
within us. If 1t does not grow it Is because
We do not make its environments conducive
to growth. The Jews wo-,:I have reached
Canaan long before they di,. hid they not
danced about the gold caif ana lust4d after
the flesh pots of Egypt.

that their goodness is exceedingly small.

be gods of wisdom but rather that We are
to be gods of purity. No man can be free
from mistakes. 1t is a perfection of con-
dition rather than of consummation. 1t is
being all that one is capable of at the time.
That is a perfect tree that is doing all it is
capable of at its time of life.

its body has within itself a hundred rings
and its limbs spread high and wide. Had it
ceased to grow at the end of the fifth year
it would have become a scrub. Gou deliver
us from the scrub Christians,
''As every year sees a ring added to the
body of the oak. must each season see
the Christian broadened in spirit; and as
each year sees the branches spreading
farther for fruitage and shelter so must the
seasons see the Christian growing the fruit
of the perfect life and ministering to a
weary world, And as each year sees the
topmost boughs nearer the sky. so must
each season see the Christian nearer his
God.
How can perfection be attained? The
acorn became the oak by using every means
of growth God had given it. Means of
Grace are Teans Of growth

He has taken US into partnership with

of salvation from sin. but OF experience,

Jesus tells us We cannot become disciples

word of Jesus in Luke xiv. 26. q and

of entering into this blessed life.

MANY CHRISTIANS IGNORANT
OF TRUE DISCIPLESHIP.
the Workers. Characterization in
the Field of Christ.

The Reverend Doctor Arthur J. Smith
preached yesterday morning at the Wash

Church on the subject Disciples Indeed
He said. in part:
There are many people in all of our
churches who are saved and who will
doubtless spend the eternity in heaven who
know very little about true Christian dis
oipleship. They are disciples in name. but
not disciples indeed
"A disciple Of Christ is learner. In the
Old Testament disoensation God made i
partial revelation of himself to man. In
the New Testament this revelation is COM
pleted. Jesus was that revelation. for i'll

church historian worthy of the name.
Modern conceptions OF history make it a
true science. History to-day is not simply
a narration of events. but it shows the con-

THE story of the Christ that is the his

These statements apply TO the events of

not abdicated his throne. God has been 90

last few years as truly as he wenr before
Israel of old with pillar of cloud by day
and of fire by night
Jesus Christ is enthroned in the heart of
every true believer. We are not saved by
ritualism. Baptism and communion have
their place. and both are to be honored in
their true position: but baptism never saved
and never can save human soul We are
saved by Jesus Christ and by him alone
Thank God. the humhlest believer in Jesus
christ may rise above the power of sin and
the fear of death.

Mrs. Heitzler's Suicide.

Mrs. Mathilda Ann Heitzler ended her
life yesterday morning at the Florence CRIT
tenden Home by turning on the gas In her
room. 1t was about o'clock when her
dead body was found and Acting Coroner
Glazebrook summoned. The official found
that the woman had turned on several of
the Jets, and there was no doubt that she
did SO with suicidal purpose. She was
about fifty-six years old and not strong.
She had lived at the home about two
months. having been unable to provide her
self with the neccssaries of life. The fail
ure of the woman to appear at the break
fast table yesterday caused the investiga-
ton which resulted in the finding of her
dead body. After the necessary death GER
titicate had been given the body was re-
moved to Wrights undertaking establish
ment. Mrs. HeitZler leaves three daugh-
ters. One of them was notified of her
death, and she made arrangements for the
burial of the body tomorrow afternoon at
