THE PHILOSOPHY OF THE DEATH OF CHRIST (Continued from page 124)

and sp iritu al death for etern ity (not ann ih ilation ). Men, having become identical w ith sin and Satan (Jer. 17: 11; John 8:24, 44, are now logically the subjects of the righteous w rath of God, th e la tte r being only the neces- sary executive agency of His holy and benevolent n atu re and law. 3. The due recognition of the Atone­ m ent anticipates the recognition of the reality of sin, death and Satan. The A tonement is in itself a clear avowal of the reality of the above mentioned (John 8:24, 44; 1 John 5:5, 8). 4. It anticipates the recognition of the unalterable righteousness and holi­ ness of God and the certainty of the fu tu re judgm ent which th e Bible con­ stan tly contemplates (Rom. 3:23-25; Gal. 6:7, 8; 1 Thess. 1:7-9; Rev. 20: 8; 21 :15 ). 5.. It requires the recognition of the Scriptural view of the incarnation, the absolute Deity of Christ, yea, His iden­ tity w ith the F ath e r (John 1 :14 ; 6:69; 8:58; 14:6, 20; 1 Tim. 3 :16 ; 2 Cor 5 :1 9 ). (Concluded in April number) THE BIBLE It is the one Book in th e world th a t appeals to th e h ea rt of th e world. It is like the tree of life; and the leaves of this tree are for the healing of the nations. It is th e pure river of w ater of life, for it comes out of the Throne of. God, and of th e Lamb; and every­ thing shall live w hither the river com- eth. It is the tran sfo rm er and regener­ ato r of the h earts of men, the lives of communities, th e morals of races, the ideals o f countries and the destinies of nations. The Bible, if not the oldest book, is a t the. least one of th e oldest books in th e world, and yet it never can be treated as a venerable relic of an ti­ quity. It refuses to be superannu­ ated. It is not dead, and it cannot be buried. It is invested w ith the mystic potency of ever-increasing life. It is zoic and energic as Paul said (He­ brews 4 :1 2 ), vital w ith sup ern atu ral vitality, and vitalizing w ith myster­ ious potencies th e lives ' of innum er­ able millions, and the reading and th ink ing of the most progressive na­ tions in the world. “The common duty of Christians,” cried th e g rea t Bishop W estcott “is to bring th e Bible to all men.”— Dr Dyson Hague, in “ China’s Millions.”
