One man says he believes he can live such a good life that he needs no Saviour; he believes that he can save himself. Another man makes no attempt to live a good life, but realizes, at its close, his miserable failure and the hopelessness of himself; he cries out that he needs a Saviour, and commits himself to Christ. There is no question here of belief or disbelief in something called an "atonement." It is a question between supreme confidence in one's self, and supreme confidence in a Saviour outside of self. Horace Bushnell once defined faith as "that act by which one person, a sinner, commits himself to the care of another person, a Saviour." This is very different from intellectual belief in a doctrine. Doctrines do not save; Jesus alone saves. Let the "objector" referred to in the New York letter bear one thing in mind: neither he nor any other man living believes that he can save himself. Men may bolster themselves up with knowing talk about their futures not depending on what they believe or do not believe. All men know in their hearts that they are miserably insufficient of themselves, both here and in the world to come. To such men, "moral" or immoral, full of good works or full of evil works, the Saviour's offer of salvation is extended. They may take it, or they may reject it.—S. S. Times.
