DR.. SULLIVAN At UNITARIAN MISSION 81 !.
SAYS FACT OF SIN IS ONE COMMON TO ALL

Speaking last night before an in
terested audience at All Souls
church, DR.. William J.. sullivan.
Mission preacher of the Unitarian
Laymen's League. dwelt on the sub
lect, THE Worlds Sin and Redcmp-
ton from It,"
The fact of sin is one common in
all human experience. whether that
sin be private and merely personal
or public and social. Since it is so
common, 1t is natural to find re-
ligions concerned with it. But not
only do we find religions concerned
with it, we find that the great re-
iigions of humanity are religions of
redemption. religions which profess
to give man a way out of sin, a way
of dischargins himself of its conse-
quences when he has committed IT,.
In nearly all religions that have
taken into their influence great
portion of mankind, the same
thought for sin. the same bargains
with 1t, and certainly the forgiveness
OF IT, we may find all through.
In general in other religions out
side of Christianity the method in
which the religions OF mankind have
dealt with sin. its forgiveness. and
redemption for sins, Is interpreted
Nlilk ticN uiuSt pIttuIS SOiIlS HE ili :
Cd OF calming Gods anger. Gen
orally the way most widely practiced
has been by an Offering to God of a
victim that has been slain In expia-
ton. Indeed not only did the desire
for gaining Gods redemption express
itself IN the offerings of animals.
killed upon an altar. but often in l.U-
man history the supposed wrath Of
the god was appeased by the offer
ing OF human victims. 1t Is one of
the most astounding features of the
pecversity of the human race that
tie Carthage mothers fought to nave
the privilege OF offering their babies
to Moloch.
IN the Christian religions. accord
ing to the history and traditional
orthodoxy. there was In the begin
ming in fact by the :cry first man
and the very first woman that lived,
q sin committed against their maker.
They not only invited personal pen
atty but tie objectionable penalty
that has passed upon al! men. ana
the tradition of the Christian church :
cs has been that all the world or
men everywhere have been born OF
Il race that IS lost. and SC FAR lost
that Il cannot by its own effort re-
deem itself and win back the favor
Of God, who Is 10 wrath. AID then
in orGcr that this ang7t may lie
lifted. God had to do It.
AND so the traditional theology Is
that enc OF the persons CT the Deity
took unto himself our humanity and
bore upon him the weight of oil the
sins of humanity. Past sins before
his time the future sins forever,
the weight of all that vast guilt
crushed him. iIe accepted It and in
our stead offered his broken BODY
and his open veins to appease the
anger of God the father. And It Is
only by our taking unto ourselves OF
the merit of this sacrifice done IN
our stead. and by the divine victim
that we shall be saved at all.
