One Of the most learned and distin-

delivery
The sermon on "The atonlng blood"
was thoroughly orthodox theological
discourse and was especially enjoyable
10 that class OF Christians who think
that there Is lamentable lack of doc
tripal sermons nowadays and too much
generalization. i
One layman remarked to the writer
that the discourse was one OF the most
enjoyable that he had listened to for
twenty years. The able speaker repudi-
ated the nefarious creed of the father
hood of Cod which would shut out
the atonlng work OF Jesus, and took some
lively shots at the higher criticism
which expunges eternal punishment and
the old doctrine OF blood redemption, JUS
LITIGATION and salvation. He denied that
a sinner is saved by love, and while, Of
course admitting that love was the con-
trolling force in the plan. strongly
stressed the points that the vicarious
sacrifice was necessary In order to re-
demption and that personal justification
comes through the appropriation Of the
redemption by faith. All have been re-
deemed, and those who accept the bene-
fits of the redemption are freed from the
penalty of the law, which has been fully
met BY the savlour's blood. and they
can ''reckon themselves dead to sin and
alive to righteousness.' The invitation to
accept OF the salvation so dearly bought
and so freely offered was strong earnest
and tender, and made profound i'm
