Tho Doctrine of atonemsn,

''For nineteen hundred years the chief
point of controversy between faith and
unbelief has been over the doctrine of
the Atonement," writes Evangelist
Dwight l.. Moody In the Ladies' Home
Journal. Lying as it does at the very
foundation of Christianity, it has been
assailed in every age of the history of
the church without avail, and remains
to-day the most universally accepted
teaching of our faith. Upon the finished
work of Chrlst's Atonement the entire
structure of Christianity rests.
This truth has, perhaps, suffered nc
much from the misguided zeal of its
friends as it has from the attacks Of its
enemies. The human theories which
have been advanced In Its defense have
too often been at the expense of tho
Bible teaching regarding the Character
of God.
1T Is truth which we are to accent
but are not commanded to understand
Christianity Is faith, not theory. Its

being What saith the Scriptures mat
the Bible contains passages that l do
not understand is to me strong PROOF
of its Divine origin. If could read the
Bible as do any other book, what

breadths that | cannot measure! We
cannot hope to study the revelation OF
Gods word without finding what Is
superhuman, for, as Paul wrote to Tim
othy, Without controversy, great Is
the mystery of godliness.'

Mechanism of the Human Body

The human body Is an epitome In
Nature of all mechanics all hydraulics,
all architecture, all machinery of every
kind. There are more than three hun
dred and ten mechanical movements
known to mechanics to-day, and all of
these are but notifications of those
found in the human body, Here are
found all the bars. levers, joints, pull
eys. pumps, pipes. wheels and axles.
ball and socket movements, beams.
Orders, trusses, buffers, arches, col
umns, cables and supports known to
science. At every point mans best me-
chanical work can be shown to be but
adaptations of processes of the human
body, revelation of first principles
used in Nature.-Ladies' Home Journal.

Police Arrested Goats.

Three goats were led into the city
court room at Yonkers, N. Y, by two
policemen. Following them were their
owners and three sympathizers who
also own goats. Judge Kellogg was
surprised and startled by the process
sion, and the excitement in the court
room was increased when one of the
long-haired animals began to bleat. The
efforts of the officers to abate the noise
were unavailing, and presently theother
goats chlmed in. They were finally
taken to the police stables.

Certainly this continent has never
seen-and fervently trust it will never
again see-such gigantic concentra-
ton of misery as that hospital displayed
daily. The official statistics tell the
story of this with terrible brevity:
There were 3,709 in the hospital in
August; 1,4S9-nearly every other
man-died. The rate afterwards be-
came much higher than this. The most
conspicuous suffering was in the gangrene
wards. The gangrene mostly attacked
the legs and arms, and the legs more
than the arms. Sometimes it killed
men inside of week sometimes they
fingered on indefinitely. | remember
one man in the Stockade who cut bis
hand with the sharp corner of card of
cornbread he was lifting from the ration
wagon; gangrene set in Immediately,
and he died four days later.
The rebel doctors at the hospital re-
sorted to wholesale amputations to check
the progress of the gangrene. | pre-
sumo more bungling operations are
rarely seen outside of Russian or Turk
ish hospitals. Their unskilfulness was
apparent even to non-scientific observers
like myself. The standard of medical
education in the South-as indeed of
every other form of education-wa
quite low. The Chief Surgeon of the

two or three Others, seemed to be gentle
