Higher Critics Repudtate the Blood.
All the worldly wise OF Christendom
have reached the point of regulating
the testimony OF the Old Testament
and the New respecting the need OF
sacrincial death for the satisfaction OF
Divine Justice. the cancellation OF sin
and the restitution of the sinner TO Di-
vine favor. The claim of the so-called
New Theologlsts repudiates the fali
repudiates the ransom and repudiates

world and its wisdom know not Coo
