DENOUNCEs UNITARIANISM
DIR, A. C. DIXON SAYS THE REJECTION
OF THE CHRIST Is A SIN WHICH
FOSTERS ALL OTHER SINS.

Some criticism has been excited by the statement
of the Rev. Dr. Len G. Broughton that euchre as
played by many church people is simply form of
gambling. At the revival meeting yesterday in As
ISOLATION Hall several ministers expressed the opn
ion that the evangelist had made mistake in de-
nouncing church members in this fashion, and that
he should not repeat the offence
The Rev Dr. A. G. Dixon had something more to
say yesterday in regard to his opposition to Uni
tariansm. He asserted that he and not the COM
mittee was responsible for what he said the
subject, and that there not now and never was
any thought of narrowing the evangelistic cam
paign TO a on Unitariansm He added:
1t is a war on all forms of inhdeity and sin Be
fore God infdelity is the most damning sin of all
Jesus said, He that beeveth not the Son, the
OF Jesus Christ as the Lamb of God that taketh
away the sin of the world is the one sin for which
other sins. When a man truly accepts Jesus Christ
is only form of infdelity, but it is the form
that just now poses under the guse of culture and
cent months has been insulting believers in the
deity of Christ by asserting that there Is little need
dox churches are full of such unbelievers.
The worst denial of Christ that can imagine Is
a denial of His truthfulness when He claims the
attributes of deity. Unitarianism is a worse form
of inhdelity than agnostcism, because agnosticism
simply says II do not know" while Unttarianism
claims to have knowledge which fatty denies the
Spirit
I speak only for myself but I say it deliberately
unwilling martyrs, Abraham Lincoln and James a
Garfield, for my Saviour than Jesus Christ; for
neither Lincoln Garfield claimed to be divine,
and were. therefore better than Christ, If He de-
ceived the people by claiming, as He did, attributes
of deity Christ was either God manifest In the
flesh He the worst of men. There Is no
middle ground.
The MONDAY meeting yesterday, designed espe-
ciay for Brooklyn school teachers and their
pupils, attracted only small attendance. The
Rev. Dr. Pierson said, among other things
You can never fill the spiritual life by learning by
imagination, by riches by the hundred and one
that He got to himself all the grosser forms OF
pleasure and the finer ones, then art and learning,
and when he had tried them all he said All is
vanity"-whch is emptiness-and all Is Vexatton
Believing is receiving. You receive the spiritual
life only when you accept Jesus Christ as GODS
only begotten Son.
The Rev. DR.. Broughton talked about the cold
ness and selfshness in Christianity, and said the
former was the sequence of the latter. IT, instead
of being with his own salvation the Chris
tan had more warmth and tried to impart saliva
ton to others, he would have a greater influence
and be a better man. He added
believe that in this coldness lies the partial fail
ure of our churches. We have depended too much
on the theories of religion and not enough on the
practice.
Meetings this week will be conducted simultane-
ously in Association Hall and at the Lee Avenue
CONGREGATIONAL Church.
