OUR SOUTHERN PULPIT

Richmond. Va, September 23.-(Special)
At the Grace Street Presbyterian church
here today the pastor. Rev. Jere Wither-
spoon, d.. preached to a large congre-
cation sermon of unusual power on
"Receving the Atoning and Helping
Christ" He took as his text the two
passages or scripture: "By whom we have
now received the atonement"-Romans.
v. II. and much more they which re-
ceive abundance of grace"-Romans, v. Z.
Said Dr. Witherspoon:
These two passages from the Epistle to
the Romans We combine for study at this
hour. In tho body of the letter they are
separated. but they exhibit the two sides
of the Redeemer's one perfect work In
making us righteous first and then holy.
We are saved by the life of the atoning
Christ and by the abundant grace of the
helping Christ we reign in life. This sec
