fold moral power to the human heart.
It fust testifies to God's deep abhorrence
of sin, and his profound s&lt; nse ol its evil
and deadly nature. The great sacrifice
appointed in expiation tells us that sin is
no triile, mi mi-re incident ol human
ignorance and infirmity. It is dark guilt,
,uul means death. It must be renounced
and repented of. By the greal Atoning
Sacrifice, the Holy God stamps all sin as
the darkand evil thing which he abhors.
Hut "ii the other hand in the same
sacrifice the pitying Father declares and
seals the plenitude and tenderness ol Ins
forgiving mercy to all who come repentmg.
He himself has found the ransom.
He has provided an Atoning Lamb, his
blessed Son Jesus Christ who died oil
the cross to expiate human sin.
Although our erring thoughts and
feeble understandings fail to give full
rational account of these deep things ol
God, which transcend all human thinking, yet these two greal facts stand forth
in a blaze of light shining from the cross;
that all sin is deadly and ill deserving:
and yet that the Father is abundant
in mercy, and able to forgive to the
utteimost. Not to discern these two
great truths is a fatal loss to men. Not
to see them in the lull light winch the
Cross shells upon them is a sad defect
in our Religion. And this is the great
defect of the New Theology, that it
ignores the Expiatory sacrifice of Christ
with its transcendent power to convict of
sin, and win to the Divine foregiveness.
A Religion that meets thecleepest soulneeds of sinning and suffering man, must
combine with its bright rays of Divine
mercy and Fatherhood, a clear recognition of the stern and terrible facts which
the Divine Rule encounters, and which
fill the world with misery and shame.
The children whom God has made have

�mutinied against him. Foul and lying
pirate rule has been established HVel

This bitter wai cannot bt su! dm d and

rebellious man, both the Divine nature
and man's own nature, alike outraged,
need the expiating sacrifice of the Lamb
of God. This old religion will stand
against all weak vagaries ofnew theology.

Relapse and

RC.ByM.ev.HD.D.

Among the strange incidents in connection with Christian work in Japan,
the relapse into iinbeli, I and immorality
in the case of some parties, once active
and earnest in aggressive work on the
evangelical basis, has been as strange
and unaccountable as a factor in the
history of Christian missions, as was
their original xcal and success. The
Kunianioto band ol Inly young men,
who forswore tben ancestral faith and
bound themselves by solemn oath to laloyal to the principles of the Gospel and
to JesuS Christ in the establishment of
His Kingdom of truth and righteousness
and love, gave an impetus to the woik
of the Doshisha, due largely to theii
enthusiasm and vigor. Some ol them

the changes that havi been made in the
administration and the ideals of that
institution. They claim that they aie

even such evanescent and iridescent
phenomena come and go in accordance

such mercurial and tickle people as the
Japanese, we may expect just such
unstable and unreasonable actions. But
these actions are none the less strange
and disappointing. In the deepening ol
the spiritual life, as Providential experi
ences come and go, these phases ot the
development and growth of Christianity
will pass away, like the sell" limited

Mr. Dubois was out

Both gentlemen appeared to attach gieat
weight to the fact of a strong opposition
among the native a to annexation, the
extent nf which opposition they appeared
unduly to magnify. Mr. Pettigrew said
publicly that he h.i&lt;] failed to find any
native Hawaiian not opposed to it,
whereas there "are large numbers ol
natives favoring annexation, who are
greatly above the average in intelligence
