The Basis of Disbelief.

Two things have contributed to this
unscriptural view: ~ The agnostie
| Jew not only disputes the Bible as
authority On the subject, but admits
that If the sacrifices commanded by
the Levitical code for Sin AtOnement
be necessary then the Jewish people
have had no Sin Atonement in any
sense of the word for more than eight
cen centuries; for Sin AtOnement must
be made according to certain specified
conditions or not at all. The loss OF
the Ark of the Covenant and the de-
struction of Jerusalem were among
Inc disasters which have prevented
the carrying out OF Moses instructions
respecting the Atonement Day.
(2) Since the destruction OF Jerusa-
lem in A. D. 70, the Jewish nation
has been scattered, and as result all
official records and genealogies Of the
Jewish people are destroyed. There
fore no one can prove his descent from
Aaron, and hence cannot make Sin
Atonement on the Atonement Day.
Thus we see that it is impossible for
Jews properly to observe the Atone
ment Day, although an outward cere-
mony Is kept up. On the tenth day
of the seventh month the Jew figura-
lively acknowledges that the merit OF
the previous sacrifice has expired.
We sympathize with his position, but
would suggest that nothing is gained
by deceiying themselves into the sup
position that this observance harmo-
nizes them In any sense OF the word
with the Almighty. The sooner they
recognize this, the sooner will they
reach the proper heart condition to
realize that their calamities are due
to the fact that the sins of more than
1900 years rest upon them uncancelled.
When they comprehend the situation,
they will see that all their hopes center
in Messiahs Kingdom. Messiah will
be the Compromised Priest upon His
Throne. the application Of whose merit
will cancel sin forever.
,Mass christians Repudiate the Blood.
next it was SHOWN that all the world
lyawise. of Christendom. have .repudiat-
ed the Scriptural testimony respecting
the necessity of a sacrifieial death for
the satisfaction of Divine Justice, the
cancellation Of sin and the restitution
OF the sinner to Divine favor. The
so-called New Theologists repudiate the
fall Of man, the Ransom and the Restil
tuition, claiming that nothing was lost
and that all we have is gain.
These worldly-wise cannot deny that
death is in the world and that the tend
ency of sin is toward death. Despite
their theories. statistics demonstrate

took her place in the bow, paddle in

He dropped into place and, planting

With the clean balance Of an ex-

feet for an instantaneous reconnois-
sance both forward and astern. He
looked back first, and groaned in his
heart TO seq the sharp Prov of the
second canoe glide out from the
banks. He looked ahead and groaned
aloud. The rapids were a wilderness
of shouting waters, white and green,
worse than anything he had antici-
pa1ea or ever dreamed of.
But there was Rog % escaping that
ordeal. The canoe was already spin
ming between walls where the water
ran deep and fast with CLASSY sur
lace:
The next instant it was in the jaws;
and the man settled down to work
with grim determination. pitting cour-
age and strength and experience
against the ravening waters that tore
at the canoe on every hand, whose
mad cIamor beat back ana forth be-
tween the walls OF the gorge like vast
beliowings Of internal mirth.
He fought like one possessed.
There was never an instant's grace
for judgment or execution; the one
must be sypchronous with the other,
both instantaneous, OF else-destruc-
ton.
The canoe wove this way and that
like an insane shuttle threading some

the fact that however rough, the
rapids were short. Now, when he had

were all but successful. The goal Of
safety was within thirty seconds
