THE WAY TO ATTAINMENT
By the Rt. Reu James E. Freeman d. d. III. d. D. C. L.
Bishop of WASHINGTON

Have accepted discipline and suffering
a consistent place in the making and
shaping of character? Are they in
dispensable to real attainment? Diff
cult as it may be to comprehend or
reason about we have the answer in the
brief record of the crucifxion of Jesus
Christ as given in the four Gospels. This
record forms the basis of the strange
story of Holy Week and Good Friday.
The mystery of it is too deep for human
understanding. More speculation con-
corning its deep meaning is recorded in
shelves o. great volumes snd more of
awe and reverence have been associated
with it than with any other fact III
the annals of time. AS an isolated in
cident it occupies in the thoughts of
men a place so striking and distinct
that it has become the focal point in a
religious system as broad and wide as
the world itself. 1t has survived con-
troversy, bitter controversy; it has been
the subject of debate, sometimes stern
and angry debate; 1t has witnessed
struggles in which its meaning has
seemed to be almost destroyed with
hardly remnant Of 1t surviving, and
yet, it looms larger, mightier and more
compelling as year follows year and the
trials of life multiply.
In days of peace as in days of war
there it stands, the Cross of Christ
with its lonely, abandoned figure, the
strongest magnet the world has ever
known, claiming as it does the devotion
and worship of countless millions of
every race. tongue and cline. Considered
as fact recorded in the history of the
race it has nothing with which to COM
pare it; 1t stands starkly alone. Here
supreme love is interpreted here sub
lime heroism has its noblest expression
here messureless devotion to cause is
exemplifled Artist, musician, teacher,
revereut student, find in the cross and
its divine sufferer that which gives to
life new meaning snd to the disillu-
stoned and sorrowing a new hope. Who
can define its strange power? Who can
fathom its deep meaning? A definition
and a noble one, of the purpose of the
cross is contained in the Epistle to the
Evening star., 1941-04-06

Hebrews: ut became Him for whom are
all things and by whom are all things,
in bringing many sons unto glory, to
make the Captain of their salvation
perfect through suffering" The attain
ment of the purpose of the cross, was
Ito bring many sons unto glory in fine,
the lifting up of the human race to a
higher dignity and its ultimate redemp-
ton was effected through the suffering
of the Captain of their salvation.
Attainment through sacrifice and
suffering, this is the universal story.
Whether man wills it or not, he comes,
as did Jesus Christ, to his place of power
and service through the hard way of
suffering. We learn this lesson reluc-
family. Whether it is some task that
gains little of favor and applause or
another that means distinction, the road
to its high fulfllment is one that en-
tails sacrifice, service and often suffer-
ing. 1t Is the way OF life. Christ fol-
lowed 1t to its tragic end. He would
give man his just place, make him
conscious of his true self, yes, his
divinity, and the way He chose was the
way of suffering. Greater love hath
no man than this" He said, that he lay
down his life for his friends" Soft,
selfish living gains no stars, evokes no
applause, gains no satisfying reward. 1t
may be hard lesson to learn and it may
be We are nearing the time when it
must be learned that, through sacrifice
and suffering we recover something that
has gone out of our life Great Britain
has learned it and in so doing has
lifted her sons to glory" Character is
born this way and Calvary with its
uplifted Christ has shown the path to
the highest attainment He has lifted
many sons to glory"
Physical courage is worthy but moral
courage is of nobler kind. The suffer-
Ing Christ displayed that which tram
scends both. His was courage born of
supreme purpose, the enfranchisement
and enrichment of the sons of men. It
was this that strengthened Him in the
hour of His agony. BY the way of
cross He gave to life new meaning and
followed course that led to the highest
and hottest attainment the world has
known.

Safety in Washington

Continued progress in traffic
safety, as reflected in the decline
of deaths on the streets, has won
for the National Capital the distinc-
ton of being the safest among all
cities of 100000 or more population
In 1910. Washington's deaths num-
bered eighty as compared with
eighty-fve in 1889 and eighty-six
in 1898.
This is encouraging, and undoubt-
edly results from the campaign for
safety which was carried on con-
tinuously from late summer of 1888,
a campaign which was based on
greater protection of pedestrians and
children, and on suggestions for i'm
provements in enforcement and en-
gineering methods, some of which
already have been carried out.
But continued improvement has
not been evidenced so far this year.
While March had fewer deaths than
February, and February had fewer
than January, the toll for the first
quarter of the year stands at twenty
one as compared with sixteen for
the same period of 1910 Crossing
streets between intersections re-
mains one of the most dangerous
practices, and speeding and failing
to give right of way still top the list
Of death-defying violations by mo-
torists.

those cases in which investigations
have been completed this year show
that a majority involved violations

Mr.. Dawson speaks for educators
as a class when he adds: "All pos

enlarged and the channels of in

people who hunger for it," If that
be done, the Nations faith in the
doctrine to which it is devoted GER

believed, lis in the hands of God"
