The Atonement

By Editor

The excellent work of Bro. Waggoner entitled The Atonement, is worthy of the most extensive circulation. It is a work of deep reasoning, and of clear convincing argument. Though the subject is one that requires thought and attention on the part of the reader, it is so treated that every one who takes delight in the important themes of the Bible, will be greatly interested in the perusal of this work. It sheds great light on the relation between the law and the gospel; and it explains with clearness the principles upon which forgiveness is extended to penitent sinners. We would be glad to place this book in the hands of every candid, thoughtful, no-sabbath man in our country. We do not see how any such person can arise from its perusal with other than a deep conviction that the moral law, i. e., the code contained in the ark beneath the mercy-seat, was shown by the death of Christ to be immutable in its nature, and universal in its obligation. We earnestly recommend to our friends that they make a general effort to place this work in the hands of all that class of no-law people who are really candid, and who are withal persons of studious disposition. Send us lists of the names of such persons, with the post office address of each, and 20 cents for every name, and we will send the work post-paid to all the names thus sent. Will not our friends take an interest in this matter?
