would make Christ merely ransom
and not an eXpiation for guilt.
1t is said Christ was only conqueror
but He is more. He liberates man from
the thraldom of Satan by expisting for
his guilt, and making him king and
priest to God.
The ransom price was not paid to
Satan but to God, man is under penalty
of divine law. That law must be
satisfied, that penalty borne, but since
man could not do this, Christ rendered
a complete satisfaction, hence we are
free from the power of Satan. say
wei mean OF course believers or tho e
who truly accept Christ.
AS late as the 18th century a theory
was invented called THE governmental
theory" which made the death of Christ
not satisfaction to justice, only a
substitute for it. God is only a moral
Governor, who finds 1t expident to
punish sin so as to RESTRAIN His subjects

dom. This makes the object of punish
ment to be the reformation of the Of
fender and the good of society, where
as His nature requires Him to punish
sin.
This would make the death of Christ.
not a satisfaction to divine justice. but
merely a substitute for it. If this be
true there is no real union between
Christ and believers. 1t is only fgura-
tive. We are not heirs but merely
benefciaries, He did not ransom US
from SIN and death, He only baiIed US
out of prison so to speak.
His death instead of satisfying Justice
and appeasing divine wrath, only open
ed up the way by which an opportunity
could be given US OF becoming righteous.
1t only makes salvation possible in
stead of actually saving US, while His
death was to produce a moral effect on
US. But the Lord really and actually
saves from their sins all who truly be-
lieve in Him. A satisfaction has been
made, for Jesus suffered the penalty
due our sin.

this corner stone of the foundation.
They say only part is inspired and SO
the inspired part of one man is rejected
by another. Each one has his own
Bible and hence there are as MANY
| Bibles as there are skeptics.
If only part is inspired what part
Is 1t, and how are we to know which
parts are to be rejected. The truth of
the matter is, these ambitious, self
+ conceited, proud creatures, confessing
themselves wise are fools and they do
/ not know it.
If you can shake the faith of man in
! the inspiration of the Bible, then you
will have no difficulty in rejecting the
atonement.
The word throughout the Old Tesla
ment is used to signify the reconci-
liation of Colby means of bloody sac
ritices-to men alienated from Him bv
the guilt of sin. The priest atoned for
the transgressor of the law bv sacri-
tlces which were offered. On the great
day of atonement the High Priest made
atonement first for his own sin bv the
sacrifice of bullock and then for the
sins of the people by the sacrifice of a
goat and the sins thus atoned for, were
after confession laid upon the head of a
live goat and carried into the desert.
This was called the scape goat and this
act signitied that the sins atoned for
were carried into oblivion. They would
not appear against them any more.
Our sins were laid on Gods sacrifice
even Jesus all the guilt or punishment
incurred by the sins of his people were
charged to his account. He gave his
life sacrifice for US. He was wounded
for our trangressions, He was bruised
for our iniquities and the chastisement
of our peace was laid upon Him. Christ
designed by His death to expiate guilt
and restore US to the image of God
which had been destroyed by sin.
But this humiliates the pride of the
human heart and so theories have been
devised that are contrary to scripture.

His death. To say that the death of
the Son of God was necessary Just to

us in bondage, would be an admission

THE PEOPLES FORUM.
Destroying the Foundations.

There is today, as there has been ir
the past, a strong and persistent effort
being made to destroy one of the great
foundation stones upon which our faith
is built, vlz:-the
Inspiration of the Bible All they
have or can do is to shake the confidence
of few weak persons who are not
rooted and grounded in the faith. All
men do not like to be governed by the
principles of the Bible. They want to
be wise above what is written and so
thinking themselves to be something
when they are nothing and vainly puff
ed up with self conceit. they delight in
picking up few thread bare argu-
ments and thoughts of other men and
fling them off as their own and unsus-
pecting minds look upon them as very
wise, when in reality they are, as the
Bible expresses it, fools.
If they can get rid of the Bible, they
could give the loose reins to their pass
ions, do as they please and sail clear of
moral restraint. To do this they begin
by rejecting portions of the Bible, in
spite of the declaration that all Scrip.
ture is given by inspiration of God. "
They laugh at the idea of all the scrip
lures being inspired; they talk with
many words of plunary inspiration as
an exploded doctrine. destroyed by
philosophy. science and the higher
criticism of these latter days, yet three
fourths of these pretended servants
could not give an intelligent definition
of inspiration. 1t is a supernatural in
t1uence, distinguished from the provl-
dental agency of God, which operates
everywhere and from the gracious OPP
erations of the spirit on the hearts of
men. There is always a difference
recognized between these effects which
are due to the efficiency of God through
second causes and those produced with
out the intervention of such causes.
Inspiration belongs to this class. 1t
is not merely a spiritual illumination,
for all true believers are spiritually
Illuminated, while the subjects of in
SEPARATION are few selected individuals,

who are made infalhble teachers,
whereas spiritual illumination is de-
signed to make men holy.
The effect of this is to sanctify its
subjects. while inspiration has no such
effect.
Baalam was inspired, but he was not
sanctifed.
Saul was among the prophets, and
such man as Caiaphas uttered a pre-
diction which che spake not of him
self. :"
1t is not simply revelation, for it
differs from this in its objects and eff
fects. The design Of Revelation is to
communicate knowledge, while Inspra-
ton is to secure infallibility in teach
ing. The effect of Revelation is to
make those who receive it wiser, but
inspiration preserves them from error
IN teaching. The men who were IN
spired were only the organs of God,
taught by Him. They were not ma
chimes to grind out book, say of log
arthms, with unerring exactness, but
they were intelligent and willing in
struments. If Hebrew was inspired,
he spake as Hebrew. If a Greek, he
spake as Greek. If an educated man
was inspired, he spake, as a man of
culture would, and if he was unedu-
Gated he spake as such an one was
want to speak.
So we have the logic of Paul, the
emotion of John and the pathos of
Jeremiah, which all of the writer's

They recount sins without comment
and refer to the judgments attending
them. They state things that seem to
shock modesty and to be contrary to
decency. but they never commend them,
but leave them as beacons to warn US
against going in such a course.
They are for our correction and in
struction.
We have not time to show that In
SEPARATION extends to all parts of the
Bible. 1t is enough to know that Jesus
says, The scriptures cannot be brok-
en-, that is, they cannot err.
Yet in the face of the declaration of
Christ and the Apostles and their con-
slant reference to the whole book as
the work of God, men try to overthrow

BRITISH TOWNS BADLY DAMAGED

 One house was split in half and col lapsed, causing the death of a man. A shell exploded on the roof of a. cot tage and demolished it, killing a man, his wife and their little child. | Most of the inhabitants were asleep when the cannonade opened. Sud denly awakened, they rushed for she1- ter. The bombardmnet lasted IS minutes.
 At Yarmouth, according to a local newspaper, no one was injured, des- pite the terrific she1Hng which the town received.
 zThe most damage was done in the south end of the place where a, large block of fishing buildings was smash ed by shells or set on fire and burned out. Various other buildings, includ- ing the corporation electricity stations were peppered by shell fragments.

PEACE PAYMENTS TO BE
 HELD UP BY BIG LEAGUE

Another phase, of the Cincinnati peace agreement between organized baseball and the Federal League has come to light in the hitch over the payment of indemnity by the Ameri- can and National Leagues to the Brooklyn, Newark and Pittsburgh clubs of the independent organization. The attorneys for organized baseball have recommended that this money be not paid, because of Ba1timore's re- pudiation of the terms of peace.
 It is understood that organized ball was to pay $35O,OO0 to the Ward in terests for Washington Park in Brook 1yn, while Harry F. Sinclair was to re- ceive about $75,00O for the Federal League establishment in Harrison, N. J., just outside of Newark. Ed ward w. Gwinner of the Pittsburgh Feds was to be reimbursed to the amount of $50, 1000 for his losses in the Smoky City. The time is past when the first payments should be paid, and the reason for the delay is the action of the Baltimore club in refusing to agree to the terms of peace, and also in bringing a suit in the Federal courts against organized ball.

THE DADDY OF THE BROWNIES

Palmer Cox, the daddy of the Brownies anad ether "Queer People with big tummies and slender legs and pointed shoes, and some with wings and stings and some with paws and claws, was born in Granby, in the Province Of Quebec, seventy-six years ago today, April 28, 1s40. It was some thirty years ago that the Brown ies began their delightful frolics, thanks to the ingenius pen of the gifted Canadian, and many of us who have long ago put aside childish Ireminiscent thrill of pleasure at thought of the Brownies. MT. Cox's jingles and ryhmes were ,as clever as his pictures. and they were by far the best of the many comics for the delectation of youngsters. It is safe to predict that Brownie Castle, in Granby, will be a place of pilgrim age hundreds of years hence. The lKewpies and other similar creations have to some extent taken the place of the Brownies, but to Palmer Cox belongs the credit of the pioneer.
 i When he visited New York early this year the daddy of the Brownies was interviewed by Joyce Kilmer for the New York Times, and on that oc- icasion he expressed his dislike for the sIapstick comedy which charactertzes some of the children's "comics' of the present. He added:f
 why, the Brownies might have aVerted this war, if they had been permitted! There has never been a German translation of the Brownie books If there were, and if the Kaiser and the other leaders of Ger many had been brought up on it, and had really absorbed it's message, then they never could have sent their armies into Belgium. They would lhave had the tender hearts of the Brownies, and their love for justice and truth. don't want to seem to
 makel fight of the war couldn't make light of&the war - I couldn't by birth, although I am naturalized American citizen. But honestly be- J t1ieve that the. Allied armies are fight ing for those ideals of honesty and truth which have tried, in my hum b1e way, to make my Brownies estab-
 fish in the minds of little children"
 MT. Cox spent his young manhood in California, where he was a jack of all trades, working principally on
 railways and in shipyards- He began
 his literary and artistic career by writing humorous verse for the San Francisco papers. Forty years ago
 he Settled in New York and con trihuted verse and pictures to the hu-
 rnorous publications. A few years
 later he began his great life work, the
