Pastor Russell's
discourses here to
day wns from the
text, "Without the
shedding of blood,
there Is no remis

1
i aain to the time
temUSmLj of the year wuen
the people of Is
rael, under the Mosaic arrangement,
began their civil year. When God call
ed them as a nation out of Fgypt. it
was under the provision that He would
make a Covenant with them through
Moses. That Covenant was that if
they would keep the Divine Law they
should be released from all condemna
tion and have everlasting life. The
alternative, failure, meant punishment
with death. If they would obey the
Law they should not only live ever
lastingly, but lie qualified to be Abra
ham's specially promised seed, through
whom all nations would lie inducted
Into the keeping of the Law and into
the attainment of everlasting life.
But God foreknew that they could
not keep His Law because they, like
the remainder of the race, were Imper
fect through the fall and God's Law is
the measure of n perfect man's ability:
"Thou shalt love the Ixird thy God with
all thy heart, and with all thy strength,
and with all thy soul, and with all thy
mind; and thou shalt love thy neighbor
as thyself." Surely none but a per
fect man could fully live up to this
requirement. Hence the Israelites con
tinued to die the same as other people,
notwithstanding their I-uw Covenant.
But God, foreknowing their Inability
to keep this Law. arranged for their
continuance in Ills favor under that
Covenant by reviving It every year on
the tenth day of the seventh month,
the Day of Atonement. On that Day
the year of their favor and relation
ship to God terminated.
Let Us Examine the Type.
Before looking for the antitype, let
ns understand the type. The sacrifice
for sins occurred on the Day of Atone
ment, and consisted of two parts: first,
a bullock was slain and its blood sprin
kled In the Most Holy, and through
It Atonement offered for the slus of
the priestly tribe only; then the high
priest took his secondary offering, a
consecrated goat, and treated It as he
had treated the bullock. And its blood
subsequently was sprinkled In the
Most Holy, "on behalf of nil the peo
ple." all the remaining tribes of Israel.
Why were these animals killed?
What Is the thought which lies behind
this death of an animal? What lesson
did God wish to teach in type? The
condemnation on the Israelites for the
violation of the Mosaic Law was not a
sentence to eternal torment, nor to
Turgatory, but a death sentence. This
Is clearly stated. By Divine com
mandment the people were called up
between ML Ebal and ML Gerlzlm.
and God's Law was read in their hear
ing. Certain blessings were read,
which were to be the rewards of obe
dience. Contrariwise, curses were read,
which were to be the penalty for viola
tion of that Law. The curses related
to death, sickness and disease.
These condemnations on Israel for
failure to keep God's Law given at
Sinai agree perfectly with the con
demnation Imposed upou Adam and.
through him, upon hi race, for failure
to obey tin Divine Law originally
given, which was written In bis heart,
his character, when he was a orfe't
man in the image of God. Hence Israel
under the Law Covenant was merely
Condemned afresh to death not to
eternal torment, nor to Turgatory.
Then, as Israel typified the world, the
Atonement Day was arranged for them
as It will be on a larger, grander scale
applicable to them and to all of Adam's
race eventually. The death of the two
animals, the bullock and the goat, spe
cially consecrated by the priest, ef
fected n covering for the sins of the
people for another year, while they
tried afresh to demonstrate their loyal
ty to God and his righteousness by
obedience to the Law; but ouly failure
rould and did result: "By the deeds
If the Law shall no man be Justified In
God's sight." because all flesh Is im
perfect, weak, degenerate.
Thus year by year continuously for
over sixteen hundred years t he Israel
ites kept up their attempt to gain Di
vine favor by obedience to the terms
of their Law Covenant. And year by
year they failed afresh, until .Tesu.
came to be the antltypicnl Priest, in
order that He might eventually become
the antltyplcal King of Israel and the
world Ills priestly ofllce was neces
sary to lay the foundation for His
kingly ofllce. As n King he could not
uplift to perfection Adam and his mul
titudinous race contrary to the Dlvfue
sentence of death which rested upon
all. because all are sinners, it was
uecessary, therefore, that, iu order to
beco'" the Messianic King. Jesus
must first be the Redeemer of men
He must first provide the sacrifice for
sins. Theu. applying it to the satis
faction of Justice, afterward, by virtue
of the right and authority thus secured.
He could undertake the uplifting and
blessing of all Mankind.
The Antiiypical Biood Atonement.
The great lessons taught by Israel's
experiences of more than sixteen cen
turies were:
tl That nil fie sinners.
r.'i That ii; sinner can justify himself.
(" That an Atonement for Sin Is nec
essary before Divine favor can be fully
obtained for Israel and all mankind.
(4i That since the penalty is (hath.
only by a sacrificial death can sinners
be released from the death penalty.
We all know the arguments used by
these who oppose the Bible doctrine of
Blood Atonement for Sin. They claim
that it is unnecessary, that God could
just us easily as not cancel all sin with
mit requiring the death of either a bul
lock or a gnat, or of The Man Christ
.'csus. or anybody else.
But are not such arguments illogical?
!s it not illogical to suppose that the
great Supreme Judge of the Universe
would make a Law and a penalty for
it. inllict the penalty justly, and after
wards set aside the penalty with
out a reason? Surely no earthly judge
would do so, and surely a Heavenly
Judge could not do so without infrac
ting the principles of III own Govern
ment; for if it Is right to impose a
death sentence as a penalty for sin,
and to allow that sentence to be in ef
fect for four thousand years before
Christ, and to allow our entire race to
suffer under it for that time, would it
not be unjust to afterwards institute a
change, set aside the Law. the Curse,
the penalty for sin? Surely we all
agree to this!
Some, however, will say, Surely God
never made such a penalty. Why
should He make a penalty which would
cause the death of His Son, or the
death of anybody, to eradicate it, to set
It aside? We answer that God did
mnke such a penalty; for it is manifest
that our entire race Is a dying one.
which has been under the Iteign of
Sin and Death for Six Great Days of
a thousand years each. Moreover, the
Bible declares that God pronounced the
penalty inflicted the death penalty as
we have It for the very purpose and
object of the death of His Son, that
thus He might give evidence, both to
angels and to men, that His Law is in
violable, but that His Justice is fully
equaled by Ills Lore.
"Christ's Better Sacrifices."
If the Jewish Law gave a hint that a
sacrificial death would be necessary
for the cancellation of human sin, It
also gave a hint that the death of bulls
aud of gouts was not sutlieient for the
cancellation of human sin; because the
sacrifices of the Jewish Atonement
Day merely covered sin for one year,
and did not actually cancel It at all.
The sacrifice was of a proper kind a
life but the life was not of sufficient
value. Why? Because the Law of
Justice would not be satisfied to ac
cept the death of a bullock and of a
goat as the equivalent for the forfeit
ed life of Father Adam. If an angel
had sinned and been condemned to
death, only the death of an angel of
the same grade and state would have
constituted a full offset or Ransom for
his life; because the very meaning of
the word Ilunttom is anti-lutron a cor
responding price.
So neither could an angel's death re
deem a man, because it would not be
the giving of a price to correspond.
Neither could our Redeemer, in His
pre-human condition, as the Logos, the
Word, have given His life for Father
Adam and the race, because that would
not have been a corresponding price
a Ransom-price (Greek anti-lutron).
To redeem Father Adam required the
death of a man and nothing more,
nothing less, would do. Therefore it
was that the Sou of God left the glory
which He had with the Father as the
Logos and was made flesh, and became
The Man Christ Jesus, "that He. by
the grace of God. might taste death for
every man."
In harmony with this, SL Paul writes
to Timothy (I Timothy 11, 5. (!) that
The Man Christ Jesus gave Himself a
Ransom for all. Thus the Apostle
again declares. "As by a man Adam
came death not eternal torment, by
a man also Christ comes the resur
rectlou of the dead; for as all iu Adam
die, even so all in Christ shall be made
alive. "-I Corinthians xv. 21. 22.
In tills last text notice carefully (and
also everywhere else in the Scriptures)
that the contrasts are not heaven and
hell, not joy and suffering, but life and
death resurrection life through Christ,
death by Adam. Notice also that the
penalty paid for Adam's sin by The
Man Christ Jesus Is not an eternal tor
ment penalty, nor a purgatorial penal
ty, but a death penalty. "Christ died
for our sins, according to the Scrip
tures." (I Corinthians xv, 3.)
Wo notice again that It was only the
one man Adam who was originally
tried, sinned and was seuteuced to
death: ttiat all of our race suffered
death and Its degradation by heredity
and not by virtue of a death sentence:
hence it wns possible that the death
of Tho Man Christ Jesus should con
stitute a full offset to the demands of
Justice against Father Adam, ami
would Incidentally Include all of
Adam's race.
The Real Sin-Atonement.
God arranged Israel's typical Atone
ment Day as a typo of the real Atone
ment Day. which began at Jesus' bap
tism and has continued ever since, and
will continue for another thousand
yenrs Iu the fiiture. Tlio killing of the
bullock on behalf of the priestly fam
ily found its antitype in the death of
Jesus, which began with IPs consecra
tion at Jordan aud was completed at
Calvary, three and a half years later.
As a Man, Jesus offered ep Micrificlal
ly His human nature, the body which
He had bkeu for the special purpose
of sacrli?e. That sacrifice was satis
factory to God, as was indicated by
His raising up Jesus from the :ad.
Moreover, we are assured tuat our
Lord wns not only raised up out of
death, but raised up as a New Crea
ture, to a still tlgher nature than that
which He had before He undertook
the Father's commission to be the
world's Redeemer, Prophet, Priest and
King. His resurrection was (Philip
plans Hi, 10) to glory, honor and Im
mortality, far above human nature,
angelic nature, principalities and pow
ers and every name that Is named.
Epheslans I. 21.
The risen Son of God remained forty
days with His disciples, and when He
ascended up on high He appeared in
the presence of God, and according to
the type made application of the merit
of Ills sacrifice for the Household of
Faith the antltyplcal Levites. The
acceptance of Ills Atonement Sacri
fice, and incidentally the acceptance of
His iv.v.ting followers, was manifest
ed by the descent of the Holy Spirit at
Pentecost.
Adding Members to His Body.
As Aaron in the type, by Divine di
rection, accepted his sons to be mem
bers with him In the priesthood, under
his headship, so in the antitype; Christ
Jesus during this Gospel Age lias been
accepting members to the Royal
Priesthood, of which He Is the Head.
And these are taken from the Levites,
for which class the Atonement was
made by Aaron in the type and by
Jesus in the antitype.
Aaron in the type, after sprinkling
the blood of the bullock and making
Atonement for the House of Levi.
enme forth and slew the goat. So
Christ, having finished making Atone
ment for the sins of the antltyplcal
Levites, came forth at Pentecost to
bless them and to accept them as joint
sacrlficers and as joint-heirs. The goat,
which Aaron slew as the second por
tion of his sin-offering, represented all
the faithful footstep followers of Jesus
In the nearly nineteen centuries that
have elapsed since Pentecost. Respect
ing these Jesus prayed, saying, "I pray
not for the world, but for those whom
Thou hnst given Me; neither
pray I for these alone, but for all those
who shall believe on Me through their
word, that they all may be one, as Thou,
Father, and I are one" "I In them and
Thou In Me." John xvli. 0. 20-23.
Incidentally, Jesus as the High Priest
In glory began at Pentecost the sacri
ficing of the goat class, His faithful
followers. The work has continued
ever since. The sufferings of Jesus
have thus been prolonged for centuries.
As St. Peter "declares, "The prophets
spake of the sufferings of Christ and
of the glory that should follow." (I Pe
ter I, 10, 11.) The sufferings have not.
yet been completed, and hence the
glory has not yet come. When the full
number foreordained of God shall have
faithfully finished their course in death
the sacrifices of the antityplcal Day of
Atonement will be at an end. The
great High Priest with His Body will
pass beyond the second veil Into the
heavenly glories, the First Resurrec
tion completing the transfer. The bless
ing of the people will then be in order.
"I Am Jesus Whom Thou Perstcutist."
That Jesus thus recognizes His fol
lowers as nis members is clearly at
tested by the Apostle. In their flesh
they are counted as members of Jesus;
as New Creatures, spirit-begotten, they
are counted as members of The Christ
Thus Jesus said to Saul of Tarsus,
speaking of Ills followers. "Saul, Saul,
why persecutest thou Me?" "I am Jesus
whom thou persecutest." (Acts ix, 4.
S.) The same thing is true of any truly
consecrated follower of Jesus.
While such are in the world and
suffer, the sufferings of Jexus are not
completed. And the glory of Christ
can be fully attained only In propor
tion a the sufferings of Jesus are
completed. In the type, all this was
pictured in the things which happened
to the Lord's gont, which typified the
faithful, sacrificing members, the
flesh of Jesus. As the goat passed
through all the experiences of the bul
lock, so the footstep followers of Jesus
are to have similar trials, difficulties,
oppositions, persecutions, to those
which came to the Master.
With the completion of the Trie.st
of Glory at the end of tho sufferings of
the flesh will come the effusion of the
blood on behalf of Israel and all of
Adam's race of every nation. In the
type Aaron took the blood of the goat,
his secondary sacrifice, and sprinkled
it on the Mercy Seat on behalf of all
the people of Israel, representing all
who will become the people of God of
every nation. Forthwith Divine ac
ceptance of these sacrifices spoke the
forgiveness of the sins of all.
So In the antitype. When our Lord
the second time sprinkles the blood In
the Most Holy, the sins of all the peo
plethe whole world will be canceled.
At the same lustant the Redeemer will
take them over as a purchased posses
sion and, under the Divine arrange
ment, He will establish over them Ills
Kingly power, lie will reign for their
blessing and uplifting. As the great
Prince of Glory He will bind the
Prince of Darkness. Satan, and destroy
nil Ills works of evil and lift poor hu
manity back into harmony with God
all the willing ami obedient.
Oh, how this should thrill our hearts
and cause ns to appreciate the Wisdom
as well as the Justice of God and Hi
great Love manifested In the Plan
which has required Ages for develop
ment, but which was In the Divine
Purpose from before the foundation it
the world!

of citizens, heavily armed, ready to
drive back the convicts if they mur
der the remaining guards and make a
tush through the gates. Shouts aud
occasional sliots tell the stoiy of des
perate fighting within the walls and
it is rumored that several guards and
convicts have been killed. ,
Another buttle is in progress in the
nills south cf Rawlins, between a
posse of citizens and from twenty to
forty escaped prisoners. Two men
have been killed in the streets of Raw
lins, one is desperately wounded ami
two convicts have been recaptured,
following the escape of from ten to
thirty prisoners. The town is iu a
panic. Frantic telegrams have been
sent to Governor Carey, now at Sheri

troops to protect the citizens. Towns
people ar3 barricaded in their homes
or, heavily aimed, are patrolling the
streets guarding their own homes and

Barry reports of the killing of several
men inside the penitentiary have not
been confirmed.
Marshal Hayes returned to Rawlins
from the man hunt in the hills, bring

shot and wounded. The man was
placed In the prison hospital. Two of
the twenty escaping Saturday were re
captured, reducing the number of orig

the escape and was shot and killed by
an officer.
Governor Carey is hastening home
from Crawford, Neb., to take personal
charge cf the situation.
Second Break in Day.
The outbreak was the second within
twenty-four hours. Saturday twenty
prisoners escaped and Sunday after
noon a party cf desperate life-termers
overpowered the cell housekeeper,
took his key and released their conv
rades from their cells. Every prisoner
willing to risk a battle with the guards
made a rush for the gates.
A moment later the citizens of the
town heard a fusillade of shots inside
the wa'ls. A bedlam of shouts and
yells echoed from the prison. A few
seconds later more than a dozen men
dashed down the main street armed
with gvns and knives. Holding the
few citizens on the street at bay with
revolvers, they charged into a livery
barn, holding up the proprietor, hast
