T., April 20. - Pastor Russell's topic Id the Brooklyn Academy of Music today was, "The Necessity for Je sus' Death." HI text ires: "In due time Christ died for the . ungodly." Romans 5:6. The speaker de clared that while tbe Bible every where emphasizes the Importance of Jen i is' di'ii th. yet Christiana today seem to be perplexed upon the subject. Some clulin that neither Ills life nor. Ills death whs different from that of otber men. Others claim that Jesus came Into the world lo show mankind bow to live and die for a Rood en use. Oth ers bewildered declare that they see oo relationship Is-tweeti Jesus' death and what they have been taught In tbe P"n alty for sin: vis., elerual torment. In tteueral. said the Pastor, there la confusion upon the subject, and only those wbo get tbe proper focus on tbe question of why Christ died can be mentnlly at rest, and enter sympathet ically Into tbe (treat Plan of Ood. of which tbe death of Jesus for human re demption Is h part. The I'nstor protested against tbe too common practise of accepting a portion of the Bible and rejecting the remain der. Be declared that any mau wise euotiKh to criticise tbe inspired Word sbould he accepted as an inspired au thority. ' capable of writing a 'better stntemeut of tbe Divine I'lnn. He be lieves thnt the Holy Scriptures, as St rum declares, were written aforetime by holy men for the admonition of the Church. Ist-aiise (Jnd wishes His people to understand lis arrangements We should bold fast "tbe faith once deli v. ered to the saints." nnd not allow the wImIoiu of men to make tbe Word of God of none effect. He reminded his bearers that Jesus reproved the Phari sees for neglecting the Word of God and preferring the traditions of men. Our Kngllsb Ititile. Raid he, does not profess to be the Word of God. but merely a trans'lation of It If there fore we And mistranslations which mis represent the original Scriptures, we should correct these, and admit thnt the translations are uot Inspired. Jesus Died to Meet Man'a Penalty. Orthodox creeds do not dispute that there Is a penalty against mankind These creeds agree that Adam, father of humanity, was created perfect In the moral Image of his Maker; hut thnt be sinned and came under a iienalty because of that sin All mankind, hav ing inherited life from him. share bis colidemntiliou to death God. having sentenced man to death, cannot con sistently deal wltb the sinner. Hence He arranged tbat Jesus sbould recover Adam and his posterity from that con demnationIn order tbat they might have opportunity to return to harmony with Hliu. and thus to everlasting life. This, said tbe Pastor, Is clearly set forth In both Old and New Testaments If we could forget our creeds and tbe false theories wblcb tbey Inculcate, these Scriptures would guide as with out difficulty. Christendom Is bandl capiied by creeds of tbe Dark Ages, which confuse us For Instance, these creeds reach that God's curse agalust mankind Is eternal torment -The Wages of 8in Is Death." Most emphatically the Bible declares the wages of sin to he death not tor ment. Lest any should think that only the body dies, but that the soul con tinues to live, the Scriptures say. "The soul that sins shall die" "God. Is able to destroy both soul and body In Ge-hetina"-the Second Death. The pen alty against Adam. "Dying, thou shalt die. signifies the death of bis soul his entire being I'nder that seutence Adam and hl rate, unless redeemed, would have no future life But God from the very beginning ; purposed to redeem man from tlr death sentence lie purposed to semi t forth ni Son to pay man's redenip Hon price- to die for man Christ's , redemptive work would restore man's 'soul from Hit- oer of tile tomb tiy a , resurrection from the dead St. Paul expresses tbls matter In -few words.
