required file sacrifice of Ilis Son
quench it. But men grew more
cruel and heart less, and instead of
a Loving Father, as revealed by
Christ, they represented Him, as
having human frailties, as being
angry with man, the Christ being
made to save him from the wrath
of God, instead of from the bond¬
age of evil ; thus grew the terrible,
hideous and false figures of ari
angry God and wrathful Judge
and Condemner of the whole hu¬
man race, who made a criminal of
man, judged and condemned before
his birth,perverted into a legal sub¬
stitute of Himself for them, and
thus made an escape from the re¬
sults of sin, instead of an inspira¬
tion to righteousness.
True, Christ suffers for men, his
strength replaces their weakness,
11 is purity their sin, Ilis wisdom
their ignorance, for the Christ so
becomes one with men, that they
share with Ilim and lie with them.
There is no substitution of Him for
them, but the taking of their lives
into Ilis, and the powers of His
life into theirs. Out of this doc¬
trine, blindly comprehended, grew
the idea of the Vicarious Atone¬
ment, in which Jesus took the place
of the sinner. He is one with all
Ilis brethren, not by a Vicarious
Substitution, but by the unity of a
common life. The Hierophant had
his Atonement in the mystery of
Initiation ages before either the
Gnostics, or Jesus the Essene had
appeared. It was an expiation for
the past, present and future sins of
ignorant but polluted mankind, by
the offering of Ilis pure and sin¬
less life, as a sacrifice for Ilis race
the Gods whomlle hoped to rejoin.
He infused his Spiritual, Vital and
other forces for the development
of germinal life.
As we have said in former-essays
Christ suffers with all those who
suffer, lie slums their sorrows,
every broken heart breaks 11 is , uu i
in every pierced heartllc is pierced,
for who can be weak w hen He is
within them; lie inis climbed tollis
high position that He might pour
his His benign influence to all be¬
low Him, and lie lives in order
that they may share His life. Every
son of may man become such a mani¬
fested Son of God. such a Saviour
of the world. In each such Son is
“God manifest in the flesh,”
(Tim. Hi, 16} the Atonement that
aids ali mankind, the living power
that makes all things new. If such
was not the case, ot what value
would be the coming of the Divine
Men, in whom God is thus mani
lest in the llesh? It their nature
was different, what help would
their example be to us? Were they
not indention! in manhood and
Divinity, and tempted like unto us
(Heb. ii, 17, lS), bow could they
elevate tlieir brother man to God?
The promise of your own Christ
liood lies in the command given to
tlie disciples by Christ Himself.
“Be ye therefore perfect, even as
your Father in heaven is perfect,”
THE CLEVELAND COURIER, CLEVELAND, GEORGIA.
and these words cannot fail,for His
lips could not utter a falsehood.
Christ was not a unique personal¬
ity, but “the fruits of them that
slept,” the model that every man
should reproduce in himself, the
life that all should share, not to be
saved by an external Christ, but to
be glorified into an inner Christ.
The life of the Son was to be lived
amongst men until it was closed by
tiie Resurrection, and the glorified
Christ become one of-the Perfected
Saviours of the world. Such is
this sublime Gospel, as compared
with that of the perverted one of
modern days. There must be some
thing behind and beyond this curt-b¬
ly and gross inalfer of our human
body, something out of which h
proceeded, 1 and into which it will
again h return, for in the nrogre.-: 1 of

GOLD ON MONARCH’S TABLE
-•>x “
Amazing Value Placed on King
George’s Service Kept for Display
to Royal Guests.
A million and a half pounds for
the contents of two pantries, each no
larger than an ordinary suburban
drawing room! Such is the amaz¬
ing value placed on King George’s
gold plate treasury at Windsor
castle. For the purpose of a state
banquet at Buckingham palace four
tons of this gold plate are transport¬
ed to London in vans bearing the
royal anus, and tons more are left
behind. In these treasure vans are
1 pergnes of gold which weigh several
iiundn d weight. There are dishes
two or three of which are as much
1 ■ tiny man Would care to carry, and
half a dozen of the dinner plates
oven are a sufficient load for one
man. As for the candelabra, you
will see three strong-armed porters
straining their muscles to deposit
one of them in the van.
There is one dinner service alone,
designed by such artists as Flaxman
and Kiothard and fashioned for the
fourth George by 1 ;undell and
Bridges, for the mere making of
whi -Ii over £200,000 was paid some
ninety veers ago. The gold of which
it was fashioned—generations of
derelict court plate melted down—
was valued at £ 500 , 000 . There is
a complete service for 140 diners—
center plaques to represent water,
epergnes, candelabra, tureens, entree
dishes, plates by the hundred, all of
pure gold, with thirty dozen other
gold plates to fall back on in case
of need.—London Tit-Bits.
REALLY NOT HIS FAULT
She—You deceived me when vou
married me. You said you expected
to inherit a lot of money.
He—Well, 1 would, but your fa¬
ther cut me out of his will.
TAKING MOTHER’S ADVICE.
A strong and rather brutal-look
I ing young man was brought before
\ a magistrate charged with cominit
ting an unprovoked assault on a po
j lice sergeant.
“Please, sir, I ain’t got no defense,
but I should like to make an excuse
for myself. What I did I did be
j cause my mother told me to.”
“Nonsense,” said the magistrate,
sharply. “ [ know your mother, and
I am sure she would not order you
to do such a thing.”
"But she did, sir,” said the young
fellow, in a subdued tone of voice.
" '" ini.' -he says to me, ‘Sam, you’re
to good at book work, and you don’t
like the idea of going into the army,
and ain’t got the temperament for a
music-hall artijt. I tell you what
you should do, my son. You should
go for a policeman.”
IN THE SAME BOAT.
1 ittle Clarence—rTa, is there real¬
ly “honor among thieves?”
Mr. Callipers—No, my son;

Labe—Bunk would be classed as a

Steve—What’s that?
