Taking one by one the various theo ries of the atonement as formulated by theologians in the past, Rev. Plato Dur ham yesterday morning at Trinity Methodist church in a forcible and logical sermon showed the insufficien cy of each and said that "Salvation through the power of God" was to be taken as a fact and not as something that could be included in theories of any nature, whatsoever. The first theory that known as the "Ransom theor y," said the speaker, was that man had been sold to the powers of darkness through sin and; Jesus Christ was given as a ransom to these powers and man was freed. Theologians," said Rev. Mr. Durham, were then called upon to explain how Christ himself became free from this power of darkness and it was said by the old theologians that He, by His al mighty power, broke loose from the powers of darkness. This to my mind was a questionable sort of trade to say the least," said the preacher. "Next, there is the substitution theory, which says that Christ suf fered in our stead for the breaking of the law through sin; that God required satisfaction for the ignoring of his law by man, and hence Christ's suffer ings. The objection to this, as given by the preacher, was that Christ, while He did suffer death physically, did not suffer spiritual death which the Bible teaches must be suffered by those who do not "accept its teachings ,and hence as a fact Christ did not suffer for us in this respect. Christ certainly did not deliver us from physical death or from the spiritual death either if He is re jected of men. Then the governmental theory of the atonement was analyzed by the preacher who in explanation said that this was to the effect that God was a God of strictest justice and that any infringement of his laws whatsoever had to be expiated by paying the full penalty and this Christ did by His death and sufferings. This theory is in sufficient for reasons similar to those given in the preceding paragraph, be cause the sufferings of the Son of God have not altered the facts of penalty for sin to those who live wrongfully. After naming other less important theories, Rev. Mr. Durham declared that salvation from sin and the atone ment could be taken only as a fact like that of the sprouting of a seed thrown into the earth and the resulting growth under the influences of soil, rain and sunshine. "One such seed coming up out of thousands would be sufficient proof to the scientist of .the powers of the seed to grow and so one example of the saving power of God is sufficient to prove the fact ,and you and I have seen these examples which in the godly man compel us to believe in this power." "Man could not state in terms of philosophy or science the full mean ing of the atonement and the power of God to save. Our minds are limited by barriers that cannot be crossed. We cannot t.r?.ce the life of the soul after death and no knowledge or power of man has been able to penetrate the future intellectually. Perhaps in vica rious suffering, theology comes as near to a solution as possible of the atone ment. This suffering of one being thor ough love for another is seen in the mystic mother's love for her fallen boy. Philosophy and science and scien tific temperance may stand over him and tell of the impending danger and say to him that alcohol is not a food and is injurious but he does not rise from the gutter, but let that mother love come and bend over him in his degredation and tell him of the suffer ing love the mother bears for him, and you and I both have seen that boy get up, and straightway become a man after all other schemes for his saving had failed. This is a divine mystery, but it is a fact. So with the power of God it changes men's lives. We see the results and know the fact, and it is enough that we can apprehend this much." "All of the old theries have an ele ment of truth in them but I want you to realize that, you are not bound by any opinion of men who lived four hundred years after Christ as to your beliefs in the atonement and its limits or meaning. Morality if it saves a man from drunkeness, saves him to that ex tent and this cannot be denied. The saying that morality does not save is not true but there is a difference when it comes to that relation to the Infinite which the atonement offers us. It is a difference of love, and preferences, and the surrender of the whole life to the will of God. This latter opens up to us the infinite stretches of eternity when the soul in right relation to the uni verse shall live and grow. Morality does not furnish men with such a pros pect. We can only relaize this, it can not be formulated in a theory or an intellectual dogma." This sermon was one of the ablest that the brilliant young pastor of Trin ity church has yet delivered and was much commented upon by those who heard it. PROGRESS AT SEWANEE. Rev, Mr. Guerry At St. Peter's Epis copal Church Yesterday. Rev. W. A. Guerry conducted ser vices. Sunday at St. Peter's Episcopal church in the absence of the pastor, Rev. Harris Mallinckrodt. Mr. Guerry is chaplain of the Univer sity of the South at Sewanee, Tenn., and is well known as a preacher of ability and learning. The speaker gave an interesting talk about the work of the University which he represents and told of its founding about the time of the civil war by Bishop Polk who was later killed in the war while serving as a general. After the war the work of rebuilding the university's standing and prestige was undertaken by other Bishops and today the University is the only Epis copal university in the United States giving diplomas in medicine, law, the ology and literature. The enrollment at the present time including the grammar school is over 500 students. Three of the principal promoters of the institution, Bishops Polk, Greene t and Otis were graduated from the Unl- Iversity of North Carolina. WITH THE BOYS. Two Splendid Talks at Y. M. C. A. Yesterday. The . oyster supper to the winning side in the membership contest of the boy's department of the Young Men's Christian Association will be served to the Stars tomorrow evening at 7:30 o'clock. Theere will be over 50 boys who will participate in this plaasure. A large number of boys listened to an inspiring address delivered by Dr. M. D. Hardin at the Boy's Volunteer League yesterday afternoon. He spoke on the suject, . "The Boy and His Church." He mentioned the fact that in order for a boy to make the most out of himself in this life, it was of great importance that he be in the church, and while in the church become actively engaged in the differ ent departments of church work. Dr. Hardin's talk had such effect upon those present that several of the boys expressed their desire of becoming identified with the church of their choice. Palmer Chalmers spoke before the members of the Boy's Sunday Club yesterday morning. Palmer is Jhe son of the late Rev. J. T. Chalmers, and has in him the making of a great man. The boys who heard him speak on "The Boy and His Friend," yesterday morning, were delighted and pleased at his talk, as he graphically and most eloquently depicted true friendship in boy life. . : f' fu.

The fifth of the series of popular meetings for men held on Sunday af ternoons at the Academy of Music un der the auspices of the Yo.mg Men's Christian Association, was, perhaps, the best attended of the entire series. The speaker was the . pastor of the First Presbyterian Church of this city, Rev. Dr. J. R. Howerton, who spoke on the subject, "Self .Mastery or the. Might that is in Man How to Restore and Direct. It." The music for the occasion was fur nished by the Elizabeth Sollege Choral Society, under the direction of Mr. Harry J. Zehm. " . Because of the illness of Miss Sey mour it was necessary , to change the program and render a-number not quite so well known as the "Inflam matus." The solo numbers, by Messrs. Tingley and Watson, were attractive features of the meeting. One of the most . delightful features! ; of these big meetings for men is theP congregation al singing. The men ' sing with a will that is evidence of the g"tat enjoyment that they have in this part of the ser vice. The chairman of the meeting was Rev. George A. Page and Rev. Francis Osborne lead in the responsive read ing of Scripture. ' Dr. Howerton's address was fully up is i.'- V.fc:-.'.:.'.S5s-af , i'iV ft! s a Reduction of Clothing to the very high standard set by the previous speakers and he held his audience to the final word He said that in the selection of a subject he found a difficulty in choos ing words that would properly set forth the line of his thought. ' The words that he wanted to use were "self con trol," but that had become popularly to mean something other than that of which he wished to speak. Dr. Howerton began his address by illustrations of the force in nature and of the control exercised by man over them. His most effective ilustration being electricity. He then spoke of the force in man as being at once the most dangerous of forces and the most beneficent. The powers of man are all the more dangerous since man controls the ; natural forces about him. . The force in steam, in dynamite and in electricity are at his service, for con struction and for destruction. It is sad to see a wrecked, machine, but it is infinitely sadder to see a wrecked man carrying with him to ruin the hopes and the loves that were entrusted to him. The very passions and appetite that lie in man and are inseparable from his life are the sources of great est danger to himself and others. It is best to keep control of one's passions and appetites, for once hav ing lost control there is no "force in man or in nature that will regain it for one. The only possible escape and means of securing control is the power that comes from Jesus Christ. Dr. Howerton then devoted himself to an impressive appeal to men to give them selves intp the hands of God and allow Him to direct and control their lives. .
