ia. If the Jews had not crucifed Jesus
who would? And If no one had. how would
the atonement have been nader
Answer. This question. and the evident
perplexity of the writer. originated in a
misconception of the atonement. God gave
his Son out of love to the world. John,

to the gift, just what might have been ex-
pected among a race Of sinners. It was
therefore foreseen and predicted Usa, I'LL:

come. The whole system of sacrifice under
pected death. Hence, we cannot set up
such a hypothesis as is In the question.
Besides, 1t is probable that the Divine pur.
pose In the gift would have been accom-
plished In some way, whatever may have
been mans response, but it is Improbable
to speculate concerning the possible meth-

made him?

liability he made ample provision from the

might by His grace become saints. In this
way He attempted the solution of the prob
lem of evil and the display Of His glory.

Nay, will you cast away your child on e
fool and a physician" an argument which
would imply that doctors were not then re-
garded with much favor by ambitious moths
ers with manageable daughters, a social
estimate which has perhaps not entirely
disappeared at the present day.
Dr. Cornelius in "Cymbeline' was associ-
ated with the plotting queen in many curl.
Gus experiments on animals. He has sus-
that of a love for pure science, and declares
that he will not trust "one of her malice
with drug of such damn'd nature which
first, perchance, she'll prove on cats and
dogs, then afterward up higher" 1t -
interesting to note that a similar objection
to animal experimentation has been raised
by the latter-day anti-vivisectlonist. By
substituting a harmless powder for the

had prepared, the doctor saves the life Of
