Rev. Clarence l.. Wilson


The Rev. Clarence True Wilson preached
yesterday morning at Burbank on the
Atonement, his text being IL Corinthians
5, 10: God was in Christ reconciling the
world unto himself:
The fact of the atonement is no doubt
accepted by all who bear the Christian
name; but the doctrine has caused much
controversy among scholars and is but
little understood by the masses. wish 70
inquire then, In what sense may the suffer-
ing and death of Christ be propitiation
for our sin? How are we reconciled
through Him?
There are three great and leading
theories of the atonement. The moral
theory holds that Christ came into the
world from heaven to teach us how to
live, and that He died a martyr to the
truth He taught, and sealed it with His
blood, and thus by the power of His infiu-
euce and the force OF His example He has
lifted the moral standard in the world and
inspired men to be and to do good. This
view is all right so far as it goes, but it is
greatly defective in that it lays no stress
upon the propitiatory suffering OF Christ
for the sinner; il makes no provision for
the pardon of past sins and leaves the
dark record still standing against us; it
degrades the Savior to the level OF other
teachers or reformers and ignores or de-
MES his deity; according to this theory we
have historical man contemporary with
the Caesars, better than they from moral
standpoint, but with no more power to
save from sin. Because this teaching robs
the world of Savior and utterly fails to
answer the necessity OF the case it must be
rejected by all who accept the scriptures
and are conscious of inborn depravity and
need salvation.
Another view is that known as the theory
of satisfaction. 1t teaches that all have
sinned and are guilty in the sight of God; !;
that Gods justice demands the punish.
ment of sin wherever and whenever it may
be found; that he is under the same obi
CATION to punish sin as to reward right
eousness; that Christ came to bear the
punishment of sin in his stead; that lie
paid the debt for US, and thus discharged
all our obligations. Now, there are several
objections to this theory that Christ bore
our punishment and paid our debt. If the
debt has been paid we are under no obliga-
tions to pay it, and hence we are free from
the law and from God; if our punishment
has already been borne we are discharged
and are innocent in the sight of Justice
Now, this would lead to universal saliva
ton and crowd .heaven with thieves and
liars and murderers and adulterers and
every fit subject for prison. But such is
not the teaching of the book. But to avoid
this the Calvinists have invented the doc
trine of foreordination, which says that for
all for whom Christ died this discharge
from moral obligation does accrue, but
that he only died for the few vino

MRS. l.. e. WeLersmuIIer

The Theosophsts had a large audience
at Odd Fellows hall last evening. Mrs.
L. F. Weiersmuller lectured on The Real
ity of the Unseen, and said in part:
So long as we know nothing OF man ex-
cept his external, perishable nature, we
cannot hope to be able to judge about the
sources of his emotional and intellectual
functions, much less about the divine attri.
butes which the real inner man possesses.
If we wish to know anything about the di-
vine inner man, the consciousness of our
ourselves and we must attain seif-knowl-
edge; for man cannot actually know any
thing except that which exists within HIM
self. All other learning is either specula-
ton or opinion, therefore changeable and
unreal. Only the knowledge garnered
from the experiences of life of spiritual
nature can be taken up by the soul and
carried into the realms of reality. What
WE know about eternal things is merely the
relation in which we stand to their external
appearance.
Real knowledge is the result of a direct
perception and understanding of the truth.
There are certain powers latent within
a higher series of internal senses into activ-
ity, which may enable him to receive spir-
itual impressions which then, to him, be-
come realities.
The spiritual state is far superior, be-
cause real, to mans terrestrial. imperma-
nent state, and yet it is unknown to sci
ence and incomprehersible to the super
fetal reasoner. The impersonal and real
is everywhere and manifests itself in the
consciousness of man. The omnipresent
influence of the great spiritual sun renders
him strong to overcome the attractions of
matter and assists him to come victorious
out of the struggle with evil.
Man is free to allow himself to be at
tracted by a love of the truth or repulse it.
He may become united with the principle
of truth, or he may sever his connection
with it and sell his inherited rights to i'm

DR.. .ilhn A. B. Wilsnn

At the First Methodist church, on Broad.
way, at the evening service, the pastor,
Rev. DR.. John A. B. Wilson, preached upon
A Forbidden Kecompense, from Rotn. xii !:
II. "Recompense to no man evil for
evil" The gentleman said:
This implies that we may suffer evil,
and teaches that no amount of it will justi-
fy a return in kind. Because no amount
of injury from others furnishes reason
for following their example; because non
recompense OF evil is condition of child
ship with God. BY refraining we cannot
be hurt nor hurt our enemy, because this
only is consistent with the calling of our
lives; because it is an essential condition of
obedience to God and because it is an inn
portant factor in the imitation of Christ.
A serious question arises. Is this the
standard of Christian character and prac-
tice unto which we must attain to be
Christians at all? How shall we sincerely
attain unto it? How meet these condi-
tions? How eliminate from our natures
these natural things? There ia a source of
power. A young Scottish minister, conse-
Grated to it from his youth by his sainted
mother, had finished his course and was
called to kirk. Those were days when a
minister was expected to touch upon every
point of theology in every sermon, and the
sermon might be too short, but could never
be too long.
Anxious as is every young man about
his first sermon, he read it as it progressed
to his old auntie, who seemed interested,
but not enthused. At last, when completed
and read to her, still without getting any
very decided word of approval, she was
still anxious and sad. Taking her face in
his hands and holding it up until he could
look into her eyes. he said: "What is 1t,
auntie? Are you not satisfied with it?'
"Ah, weel," she said, sit is great SER
mon, but. my BARN, mind ye speak guide
word for Jesus in it.'
He walked out of the room with the
manuscript in his hand, the words of his
old simple-hearted BibIe-reading Auntie
in his mind. Were not these the very
words spoken to him by his dying mother
as he knelt at her bedside; she who had
always seen him as in the ministry and
there, with her hand on the head of her
weeping boy, had said, my BARN. mind
ye say guide word for Jesus always" He
theological thought and threw it to the
winds. But when the simple Scottish
folk scattered along the mountain paths to
their homes the watchword upon the lips
OF all, spoken with happy tears in their
voices, was, 10, but didna the young min
lister speak guide word for Jesus the
day."
want to speak guide word for Jesus,
because it will be the only guide word 1 can
speak for ourselves.
How can we live this truth? Only by
taking and claiming and imbibing and
abiding in Jesus, the author and finisher of
the work begun in you.

IN THE EDICT LINE.

Isn't the Executive Council just
a trifle out of its latitude in ventur-
ing its published regulation, or law,
or rule, or limitation on the matter
Of bringing laborers to the country?
The Cabinet has adopted a resolu-
ton to the effect that hereafter no
vessel will be permitted to land more
than 100 Storage passengers at the
Port Of Honolulu or any other port
in the Islands at any one time.
Now, less than the number stated
are easily just as dangerous from a
sanitary viewpoint as more. There
are quarantine facilities for even
double the number stated. This
condition imposed would permit a
vessel fitted for only 900 passengers
to bring 100. that is so far as Ha-
waiian laws are concerned. And
enforcement of the rule may make
a vessel capable of carrying proper
ly twice 100 sail with half steer
age cargo. The again a steamer
with 400 passengers below could
land 700 at Honolulu and 100 at
Hilo. Altogether the resolution is
very weak and uncertain and indie
finite. Besides it takes from the
Board of Health or Legislature or
Interior Department control of a
matter which should certainly rest
W tn one of these bureaus or
branches.

FALTERING.

The Board Of Health very prop
erly sustained its Executive Officer
in the controversy arising on the
head of the discharge of couple of
Portuguese workmen who insisted
on taking a half holiday to march
with the army of the unemployed
at time when their services were
especially required. But the Beard
half spoiled its admirable attitude
Of firmness aud decision by evidenc-
ing disposition to back water or
"hoohalimali." An order was
= entered that the men be reinstated
so soon as there was all opening.
Their old places are now held by
natives. This is attaching string
to the endorsement of the Execu.
tive Officer. If the discharge o
the two men was really warranted
that should be the end of it. l
there was injustice in their dismis
sal correction should be made b,

to be avoided is even the appear

matter. AS the record of the Boar,
now appears in this case, it ha
