Atonement of Christ
Is Subject Of Sermon

Rev. Titus Lang OF the Cross
Lutheran church, in lenten sermon
yesterday stated his belief in sub
lstitutional atonement OF Christ. He
said:
There are many people. even
among those " no caif themselves
Christians, who claim that sinful
man could. and should, work out his
|own salvation. But what you'd the
Jewish people have said to Barrabbas,
|if he should have made the claim that
|he himself had worked out his par
don and liberation?
God can pardon and liberate a
sinner only for the sake of His son,
Jesus Christ, who suffered and died
for all sinful men. Had Jesus Christ
not suffered and died for the sinful
world, not one sinner ever could be
saved. He is the Lamb Of God that
taketh away the sins of the world.
The blood of Jesus Christ. the son of
God, cleanseth US from all sin.
whether or not Barrabbas was
grateful, unto Jesus, we do not know.
'Eut we surely have all reasons to be
grateful. Realizing the awful condi-
ton from which Christ has redeemed
US, let us rejoice over His substitu-
tional atonement and thank Him with
all our hearts"

on Way to Take Navy Post,
Arouses New Specu-
lation.

Much interest was expressed In
Omaha Sunday al the hint from
Curtis d. Wilbur, that he may be
made attorney general, instead of
secretary Of the navy.
Mr. Wilbur will arrive In Washing.
ton t,iis morning. Information that
the Californian had intimated his
probable selection to succeed Daugh-
erty was wired the capital Sunday
and 1t Is probable some word may
come from the White House during
TIE day.
Wilbur passed through Omaha Sat
urday evening on his way to Wash
ington to take up his duties as secre
tary Of the navy.
While here he made known the fact
that President Coolidge had discussed
with him the matter of his joining
the cabinet some weeks ago. 1t Is
evident that at this conference the
discussion included more than the
navy portfolio and that the president
has given attention to the problem
OF selecting a new attorney general.
Discussing this conference with g
representative OF The Omaha Bee
Mr.. Wilbur said:
II did not know whether l was tc
succeed Mr.. DENLY or Mr.. Daugherty
or either one. when I left.
"It is possible. even now" he added
with a smile. that there will be an
other secretary Of the navy and
may be attorney general"
1t is considered that much weight
should be given Mr.. Wilhur's intima
ton, because OF his previous training
He has been for some time chief
justice OF the supreme court of Cali
fornia and has resigned that position
10 go TO Washington. Thus his ex
perience as a lawyer and jurist fits
him to be attorney general even more
than secretary of the navy.
For the latter position he Is equip
ped because of his graduation from
Annapolis naval academy. Since hi:
graduation. however. he has given al
of his attention to the law.
Should Mr. wiibur's present ap
pointment stand. and he be not trans
ferred TO Mr.. Daugherty's job. he will
work for as big a navy as is possible
