Sermon by
CHARLES T.
RUSSELL,
Pastor Brooklyn
Tabernacle
Ooo
Brooklyn, N. Y.. October 2. Pastor
Russell of the Brooklyn Tabernacle
addressed a large uud very attentive
audiem-e today at the Academy of Mu
sic from the above text. lie said:
Ours is a day in which, more than
ever before, i be statement of our text
Is dlspnted-dlsbelieved by Jews. Gen
tiles ami Cbrlstlnus. The great Chris
tian author, St. Paul, agrees exactly
with the words of Moses In our text,
saying. "Without the shedding of
blood there is no remission of sins"
(Hebrews Lx. 22i. The orthodox Jew
and the orthodox Christian, therefore,
are to substantial agreement as to the
foundation of tilings and the unortho
dox are In agreement of opposition.
The latter agree that there Is no neces
sity for Slu Atonement that the Inter
thought of all the wise men of the
earth, the greatest ministers and rab
bis. Is that there Is no such thing as
Original Sin; hence could be no such
thing ns necessity for cancelling It of
making an atonement or satisfaction
to Justice on behalf of It. Two things
have contributed to these unorthodox,
unserlptural views,
(li The agnostic Jew not only dis
putes the Bible as an authority on the
subject, but. in addition, admits to
himself thnt If the shedding of blood.
If the 'sacrifices commanded by the
Levltlcal code for Sin Atonemeut be
admitted to be right and necessary. It
would Involve the thought that the
Jewish people have had no Sin Atone
ment in any sense of the word for
more than eighteen centuries, because
Sin Atonement must be made accord
ing to certain specified conditions
else it could" not be made at all. The
loss of the Ark of the Covenant con
taining the Law. and covered by the
mercy-seat, was one of these disasters
The destruction of Jerusalem,, the City
of the great King, was another, and.
above all, the Law required thnt the
sacrifices should be killed, and the
presentations saerltkially made to God.
only by a priest who could show his
lineage as n son of Aaron.
(2i Since the destruction of Jerusalem
A. D "0. the Jewish nation lias been
scattered and devastated by their foes
some of these, alas, claiming to he
Chrjstliius nud .dishonoring the name
of Jesus; As a result all olliclal rec
ords and genealogies of the Jewish
people are broken, vitiated, destroyed.
Undoubtedly there are numerous de
scendants from Aaron living today; but,
since they cannot prove tbelr descent.
tl'y are absolutely forbidden to at
tempt 'to make a Slu Atonement on the
Atonement Day. Viewing the matter
from this standpoint the unorthodox
Jew feels nil the more Inclined to re
H!(!laie the necessity for any Sin
Atonement. Alas, Indeed, many of
them seem not only to have lost con
fidence In the Mosaic arrangement, but
to have lost faith entirely In a personal
God. We hope and believe that many
of these are sincere and will be blessed
and assisted back to faith shortly and
to a better understanding of the holy
Scriptures nud of God's dealings with
tht'lr nation. ,
Jewish Atonement a Farce.
In view of what we have said, all
must see that It would be impossible
for the Jews properly to observe the
Atonement Day, having no priest nor
other facility necessary to the require
ments of the Law. Nevertheless, an out
ward show of ceremony Is kept up. On
the proper Atonement Day of their year,
the. Tenth Day of the Seventh Month,
the Jew figuratively acknowledges that
the merit of the previous sacrifice has
expired. He fasts, lie prays, tic-cording
to the original program. But he
has no priest. No bullock is slain for
the sins of the tribe of Levi. No goat
Is slain for the sins of the other tribes.
And no blood is taken into the Most
Holy to make an Atonement. Not
only have they no priest to officiate,
but they have no mercy-seat. Some
of them wring tho neck of a rooster,
swinging it over the hend three times.
But this wns not the sacrifice of the
Day of Atonement and could not take
Its place.
We should not be misunderstood as
holding up the Jew to ridicule. Quite
to tho contrary, we sympathize with
him. We appreciate his reverence for
the Divine Law and his desire for fel
lowship with God In tho cleansing of
bis sins. We would, however, suggest
to them that nothing is to be gained
by deceiving themselves and each oth
er Into the supposition that their
Atonement Day brings (hem any relief
or harmonizes them In uny sense of
the word with the Almighty. What
tliey do Is a mere farce. The sooner
this be acknowledged the sooner will
their honesty In the matter bring them
Into the proper condition or heart to
recognize that the sins of more than
eighteen centuries rest upon them un
cancelled and that this Is the explana
tion of the calamities thnt have be
fallen them
When Israelite come properly to un
derstand the situation, they will see
that all their hopes center In Mes
siah's Kingdom Messiah Is nut only

Solomon, but he Is also the great

priest upon bla kingly throne. So Mes
siah will uot only be the great King
over Israel and the world, but be will
be the great lrlest whose application
of his own merit will effect the can
cellation of sins forever. lie will not
re-lutroduce to them sacrifices of bulls
and goats, but will make kuown to
them that those sacrifices were mere
foreshadowing of better sacrlflces
so much better that they will uot need
repeating yearly, but work a perpet
ual cancellation of the sins of Israel
and of all the children of Adam.
Higher Critics Repudiate the Blood.
All the worldly-wise of Christendom
have reached the point of repudiating
the testimony of the Old Testament
and the New res pin. ting the need of a
sacrificial death for the satisfaction of
Divine Justice, the cancellation of sin
and the restitution of the sinner to Di
vine favor. The claim of the so-called
New Theologlsts repudiates tho fall,
repudiates the ransom and repudiates
a restitution to all that was lost
claiming that nothing was lost and
that all we have Is gain. Thus the
world and Its wisdom know not God
and appreciate not his arrangement
thnt, as death came upon mankind
through the slu of one man (Adam),
even so a restitution to life should
come to all men through Christ that
"as all lu Adam die, even so all In
Christ shnll be made alive."
These worldly-wise cannot deny the
fact 'that there is sin in the world and
thnt there Is death In tho world and
that the tendency of all sin Is towards
death. They cannot deny that death Is
gaining a greater hold than ever be
fore upon our race. Insane asylums,
prisons and reform schools show that,
notwithstanding our educational facil
ities and wonderful achievements under
thfe enlightening Influences of the New
Dispensation now dawning neverthe
less, the insanity statistics and the
prison statistics and the physical sta
tlstlcs show that. In spite of every
thing, our race Is becoming mentally.
morally and physically weaker day by
day. It Is for them to explain how
these facts fit to tbelr theory of Evolu
Hon.
The Christian's View of Sin Atonement.
By the term Christian we refer to
those who intelligently believe the ex
planntlon of the Itlble rcspeollng sin.
that It Is a vlolntlon of tho Divine
Law and carries with it a penalty
that Father Adam wns created as sin
less ns are tho angels and as perfect
as they, only on a little lower plane
of being. Obedience was required of
him as tho price of Divine favor and
everlasting life. Disobedience thrust
him from Paradise into the unpre
pared earth to wrestle with the thorns
and thistles, where the decree. "Dying
thou shall die." accomplished his exe
cutlon Ills race wns In bis joins and
naturally shared by' heredity his
weaknesses and death pennlty. so thnt
the entire race Is a dying race. Hut
the Creator was unwilling that Adam
and his children should die as brutes.
God did not revoke his decree of
death nor give any Intimation that he
had done unjustly In condemning his
creature. He did, however, provide
a way for their relief. Ilr provided
that, ns the first man alone had sin
ned actually, so one Redeemer alone
would bo necessary for the race. And
to him he offered a great reward, so
thnt bis sacrifice for sins would work
out to his own advantage, as well as
to tiie sinner's. A part of the reward
wns the high exaltation to the heaven
ly nature far above angels, and the
gift of the Kingdom of earth neces
sary for the overruling and subduing
of the spirit of rebellion In the world
nnd for the exaliatlou and uplifting
from sin and death conditions of all
the willing and obedient of Adam's
entire race.
"The Better Sacrificet."
From the Dlvlie standpoint "the
man Christ Jesus gave himself a ran
som for all." for Adam's entire race,
to be testified lu due time. He anil
typed the bullock of Israel's Atone
ment Day, as well as nntltyped the
priest who slew the bullock because
he offered up himself. Rewarded by
the Almighty, he was raised from
death to the spirit plane, higher than
tho angels. Applying his merit to the
antitypienl Levltes, "the household, of
faith." "the Church of the First
borns," be then began n work little
understood by either Jews or Chris
tlnns, but nevertheless clearly outlined
in the Word of God. Ills work
throughout this age has been the gath
ering of the elect class which Is cho
sen because of faithfulness to lit I : l
and obedience In walking In his
steps In the narrow way. These,
composed both of Jews and of
Gentiles, have for centuries been
In course of development their sacri
fices being typified by thnt of the
Lord's goat on the Atonement Day
Tbelr sacrifices are small nnd Uan like
that of the goat. In comparison to the
bullock. Hut they are accepted by the
Great High Priest, and tho offering
of their sacrifice Is counted an his sac
rifice. Thus eventually the High
Priest will complete his work of sin
atonement iwe believe very soonl and
then his second application of the
blood ttpoti the Mercy Seat will be
ninde. Just as It was written In the
Law. "On behalf of all the people." only
that "all the people" on the larger
scale will uot uuuu merely the Is
raelites outside of the Levltes. but '
will mean the whole world of mankltut
outside of the household of faith, the
antityplcal Levltes. Forthwith the
whole world will be turned over to
Messlnh. the antityplcal Prophet.
Priest. King, Mediator. Judge. Then
for a thousand years the world will
receive the blessed, uplifting Influ
ences.
There will come lu Israel's share In
the great work of recovering the world
to God. They are still beloved for the
fathers' sakes and the gifts and calling
of God to them are things he will not
repent of. At that time the great anti
typlcal Prophet. Priest and King will
begin his work as a Mediator. At that
time he will mediate by briuglng Into
operation the New Covenant which
God promised he would make with Is
rael and Judah, "after those days"
after the days of their humiliation and
being cast off; they shall be reclaimed
and uplifted and blessed nnd used of
the Lord. This U God's Covenant with
them when he will take away their
sins when by virtue of the "better
sacrifices" their sins shall be abso
lutely and forever cancelled by the
antityplcal Priest, of whom tho Proph
et David wrote. "The Lord hath sworn,
and will not repent, Thou art a priest
for the ago after the order of Mol-
chlw dek" a kingly priest ou the spirit
plane (Psalm cx, 4).
What Atonement Signifies.
The word Atonement or At-one-inout
signifies the bringing of persons alien
ated or estranged back Into harmony,
sympathy, union. Many are perplexed
at the doctrine of blood-atonement so
prominently set forth In tho IUble. The
shedding of blood is naturally revolt
ing and properly so. It seems strange,
therefore, to those who do not under
stand the philosophy of tho Divine
Plan of Snlvatiou, why God should
have required a blood-atonement for
sin. Sometimes the very people who
object to blood-atonement believe some
thing much more awful-tlmt an atone
ment for slu can be effected by hun
dreds or thousands of years of most
terrible torture. Some believe even
worse than this that an everlasting
torment penalty for sin will bo exacted
of all except the saintly few of hu
manity. How Inconsistent nnd illogi
cal we have all been in our reasoning
upon religious subjects!
In Scriptural usage blood stands for. '
or represents, the life. In harmony
with this is our ordinary use of the
word. We read, "The blood of Jesus
Christ our Lord cleansetb us from all
sin." Here the word blood stands for
death, or rather, for the merit of the
sacrificial death of Jesus. His death
would have been equally efficacious as
man's Ransom-Price If his side hnd not
bceu pierced. It would have been
equally meritorious if he had died In
any other manner, except that he was
to take the place of the sinner to the
very Inst degree as tho Mosaic Law
declares, "Cursed Is everyone that
hangeth upon a tree." thus branding
crucifixion ns the most ignominious
form of death.
Put why should God require tho
death of a victim as a basis for the
forgiveness of the sins of Adam and
his race? We reply that God's Law
was Intended to be nn Illustration of
the exactness of Divine Justice. Jus
tice could not punish Adam nor his
children with eveiiaatlng torture or
any other of the horrible things we
once Imagined. The severest penally
of the Divine Law Is represented In
our common law, which, as an extreme
penalty, requires the deafh of the
transgressor. Ada in, having been sen
tenced to death, would have had no
future opportunity for life neither by
resurrection nor otherwise. Adam's
children, sharing bis weaknesses, would
have had no opportunity to regain life,
because Justice Is unchangeable. If It
was Just to condemn sin. It would be
Injustice to rescind the Hnalty and
set the culprit free. Divine Love has
provided a way by which Adam and
his children are all to be freed from
death nnd have nn opportunity of "ter
uat life not by violating the require
ments of Divine Justice, but by fulfill
ing them. Hence In due time, the
man Christ Jesus died for tne man
Adam, to cancel his sin, to satisfy his
penally. And since his sin anil pen
alty have bceu inherited by his chil
dren, tho one sacrifice for sin Is suffi
cient for all.
The work of atonement Is not com
pleted. Tho .first half of atonement
is tin.' satisfaction of Justice. Hut
even this part Is not yet completed.
Tho Redeemer presents his sacrifice
In two parts, nccordlng to the typo.
Tho first elTusloti of his blood spoke
pence to believers who now have the
ears to hear and the heart to obey;
the second effusion, as shown by tho
Law (Leviticus xvt, 13), will tnnke
reconciliation for the sins of all tho
people tho whole world of mankind.
Then the other part of Atonement be
gin After the Divine reconciliation comes
human reconciliation. The great Mes
siah will not require sacrifices of Im
munity, but, on the contrary, will
opeu the blind eyes nud cause the
knowledge of the grace of God to
reach Adam and every member of his
rnco. Then all willing for reconcilia
tion will bo helped by tho great Medi
ator of tho New Covenant and by
Israel, his Chosen Peoplo and earthly
representatives. The object to be ac
complished during Messiah's reign is
tho bringing to all the willing and
obedient the restitution which God
has promised restitution to all that

God, that he may be all in all (I!
