subject for his ringing inspiIational
sermon His Last Will and Testimony;
his thoughts for the day How are
you travelling on the Kings Highway;

Christ never calls for a lazy man,
what Jesus give a man no other man

NEW MODEL AUTOS

DETROIT - With few ex-
ceptions, auto makers will not
be offering new models before
next year.
Some alterations will prob
ably appear early in 1913;
others will be delayed until
later in the year.
Asked why the delay, auto
men give these reasons:
'It's very expensive-about
triple pre-war-to tool up for
production of new models"
Present models continue in
big demand.
Scarcity of certain mate
rails, such as sheet steel,
makes it difficult even to pro-
duce today's models.
Caught between a price
conscious public and rising out
put costs, auto makers seek
to save what production pen
MES they can.
While few orders have yet
been placed with die makers,
The theocrat. [volume] (Zion City [i.e. Zion], Ill.) 1914-1949, 1947-07-02

a trend toward wider bodies
and greater visibility is noted
by shops.
"Whether they admit it or
not, body designers have been
influenced by Studebaker and
Kaiser-Frazer styling" said
one die shop proprietor.
So far this year, only three
new passenger car models
have been offered - Stude-
bakers "Landcruiser," Pack
ards eight cylinder convert
ible and Kaiser-Frazer's "Man-
The theocrat. [volume] (Zion City [i.e. Zion], Ill.) 1914-1949, 1947-07-02

haitian"
The next auto maker to
come out with a complete line
of new models is expected to
be Hudson.
While General Motors may
have it's new Bucks and Cadil-
laos ready in the fall, it's other
lines are not expected to have
any new models until 1913.
Orders for dies for 1948 Chew
rolets and six-cylinder Pom
tiacs and Oldsmobile were cam
celed last December.
The theocrat. [volume] (Zion City [i.e. Zion], Ill.) 1914-1949, 1947-07-02

sary. When Adam and Eve
transgressed, God provided
them with a covering of coats
of skins. This plainly typified
the covering of Christ's right
eousness which God would
provided for sinful man by
having His Son vicariously pay
the penalty of death. The
teaching of blood atonement is
evident in the Old Testament
Scriptures as "a scarlet thread"
Judaism, since it's rejection of
Messiah, has lost this essential
message. Christianity alone de-
clares that it is by the sacri-
ficial death of the Son of God
alone that man can obtain
atonement and redemption.
II THE OSE OF
CHRIST'S ATONIN G
DEATH - Rom. 5:6-11;
8: 1880; I Cor. Is: 1-3;
II Cor. 5: 1921; Peter 1:
10, 10; I John 2: 1, 2; 3:
There are those who look
upOn the death of Christ as
that of a martyr who was will
ing to die for the principles
that He had taught. If that
were all that Christ's death
meant, it would exclude any
possibility for mans redemp-
ton from sin. Far from being
a martyr, Christ gave up his
life voluntarily as a substitute
for sinful men. Death had no
claim upon Him for Gin Him
was no sim" Jesus could just
ly have avoided death, yet He
determinately went to Jeru-
salem, telling His disciples of
His forthcoming death and
even giving minute details of
how it would take place. He
said to His disciples: 81 have
power to lay down my life and
I have power to take it up
again."
It is the Cross that exhibits
the deepest measure of mans
degradation and also the
greatest measure of Gods love
The theocrat. [volume] (Zion City [i.e. Zion], Ill.) 1914-1949, 1947-07-02

to fallen man. It proves the
love of God to be triumphant
over sin and provides ga way
of escape" for the sinner from
the bondage of sin and Satan.
The claims of Divine justice
were fully met. 1t was while
eve were yet sinners" and enc
mics of God, that Christ "once
suffered for sins, the just for
the unjust" Paul declared that
it was for this purpose that
Christ came into the world, Ito
save sinners. Multitudes have
been redeemed from sin be-
cause of the Transforming pow
er of the Cross.

By the acceptance of Christ's
Atonement, the sinner ceases
to be a rebel against God and
becomes a child of God.
Through Christ's sacrificial
death God ''reconciled the
world unto HIMSELF" While it
is true that the atonement of
Christ has been provided for
all mankind, it is only made
effective in the lives of those
who truly accept Christ as
their Savior. The atonement
has special application to the
Church for "Christ loved the
Church and gave Himself for
it." The atonement also pro-
vides final restoration to a dis
ordered world, removing the
curse that rests upon it because
of mans sin.

The Atonement of Christ is
the most important doctrine of
the Scriptures. It is through
Christ's Sacrificial death alone
that the sinner can obtain the
blessing of Gods salvation
The only way for a sinner to
approach the holiness of God
is through Christ's atoning
blood, for without the she'd
ding of blood there is no re-
mission of sim" This Lesson
sets forth the inestimable VAL
ue that God places upon the
sacrificial death of His we'll
beloved Son which made pos
sible mans redemption and
salvation.

The Passover Feast, institute
ed in Israel on the night of the
departure from Egypt, is a pic
ture set forth in the Scriptures
of atonement between man
and God. God demanded that
the blood of a sacrificial lamb
be "sprinkled" upon the Intel
and side posts of every house
in Israel and promised that
when the avenging angel pass
ed through the Land of Egypt
to STAY the firstborn, He would
''pass over" the first born of
the Children of Israel and they
would be spared. Of great i'm
portance was ''the Feast of
Atonement," on which the
High Priest but once a year en-
tered the Holy of Holes with
the blood of the sacrificial
goat to make atonement for
the sins of Israel" Both of
these Feasts looked forward to
the time when Messiah would
make. possible a full atonement
by the sacrifice of Himself in
order to "put away sim"
It was mans sinfulness
which made atonement neces-
