The Doctrine Of Atonement.


The Rev. DR.. Samuel T. Carter, a Pres
byteran minister OF New York. is being
Investigated by the Presbytery to which
he belongs on the charge OF heresy. Or.
Carter recently sent out aletter5 in which,
among other things. he said that the
received atonement doctrine Of his church,
"an angry God soothed and appeased BY
the blood Of an innocent victim = he could
rot accept
we do not understand that any Chris
tan church teaches that doctrine. 1t Is
a fact however, that some people do UNI
derstand the doctrine OF atonenent as
DR.. Carter has stated 1t, and we have
heard the doctrine thus expounded By
a preacher from the pulpit BY way Of
illustra ton the preacher told this story:
He said that during the war two young
men messed together and beca me dear
friends. One OF Them whom be called
CHARLIE was the son OF a rich father;
the companion was poor. Charles COM
panion had obtained a furlough and was
going home. In his Journey he was to
pass through the town in which Cha rlie
lived. and Charlie gave him a letter Of
Introduction to his father BY and by
the poor soldier arrived. aged and hun-
CRY. He secured an audience with
Charles father and offered the letter
of introduction but The rich man turned
his back upon him, refusing event to
read the letter which he presented. But
Charles mother finally came into pos
session OF all the facts, and she went
ard told her husband that this was
Charles friend. AS soop as the rich
man understood the situation. he took the
poor soldier in and gave him food and
clothing and treated him as royal
guest
After relating this story the preacher
said that it was beautiful illustration
Of the atonement: that the father would
not receive this ragged soldier on his
own account, but that on Charles ac-
coun, he took him into his home and into
his heart. On his own plea he vas
kicked out: on Charles account he was
taken IN. No man who believes in the
mercy and goodness and fatherhood OF
God can accept any such heathenisil doc
atrine as this.
