ABSURDITIES RESULTING ISOM THE DOC
TRINE THAT THE ATONEMENT WAS MADE
EQUALLY FOR ALL.
Here, it may be proper to employ
what logicians denominate the li i eductio ad
absurdurn, i. e., a mode of argument
which shows the absurdities forced upon us
by the other side of the question. And,
I. On Arminian principles, Jesus Christ
may be called the Saviour of millions who
shall be t /brewer lost; the Redeemer of mil.
lions who shall be held eternal Oaptives in
the gloomy prison of the damned I He
may be said, by his death, to have given.
the highest proof of his love to millions who
shall be the eternal objects of his hatred!
To have delivered from the wrath to come
millions who shall be the children of wrath
forever and ever
11. 'Again : On the principles opposed,
Christ having satisfied the claims of justice
for all the sins of all men, including of
course the sins of final impenitence and WI.
belief, millions of our lost race will hold an
indisputable right • and claim to a salvation
which they shall never obtain <! A most
manifest impeachment of the rectitude ..of
the Divine Government I , Millions more,
by and through their gloriois Surety, have
cancelled the entire claim held by
• the
Divine Government against them even . "to
the uttermost farthing," and who elf , IA
yet be held personally accountable , ror the
same claim, ,to cancel. hich, demands their
eternal imprisonment and putiiihment in the

111. If Christ died for all alike and with
precisely the same design, he. must have
died to save the whale racer all ire

What an invasion upon the hapiinen of the

him" in enduring the opes—the travail, of
his soul which the Father had ,pledged he
should see
But should it be replied that the Saviour,
by his death, did not. design the positive
salvation of any one, but', merely intended to
open the door of hope for all men;
all men in a state of iirobation, and to give
all men an. opportunity to secure Memel
salvation; to this we answer, Ist That
if this be true, Christ is not a ;lull ,Bivioiir;
for any of the race, as his design was not
save any, but simply .to open- the 'Wei 'for
sinners to save themselves. Of course, the
sense of obligation -to Jesus Christ must be
proportionally ‘ i dinlinnihed, and the glory of
our salvation divided between , the sinner , and
the Saviour; in 'l4 irerd, the sinner becomes.
about one half his own saviour 1, But p 2d.,
According to this scheine, the turning point
of our salvation is lodged in the sinner's-own;
hands, and the simple, independent voqticre
of the sinner may certainly and- foreierlds,
feat the benevolent intentions and boundleiti,
mercy and compassion of rthe Father,--Sonf
and Spirit! Besides, this theory places , the
will of the creature entirely beyond,tne",
Dieine control; in a word, it is virtually - 40
,deify the will of man; by clothing itvwith
the attribute of- &haulms' .independence !
Christians haie generally suppCsed .11i4
things were under the Divine control, in
heaven, earth, or hell, and have greatly
" rejoiced that the :Lord God Omnipetent,

this is a grand mistake, as the human will
stands out isolated and alone from all thii.

This book describes, in a very pleasing manner, the ten
successive manifestations of the Saviour in his bodily
presence, after his resurrection, and, indeed, tells all that
is known about him daring the days that intervened be
tween that event and his ascension. The author draws
many beautiful and important lessons from the Scripture
narratives which he explains, and in his hands they prove
to be rich in Instruction to a very remarkable degree.
Although thkbook has been published but a few weeks, a
second edition is already called for.

, SPECIFICS FOR CONSUMPTION.
SYRUP OF THE i7YPOPHOSPHITEs,
Composed of the Hypophosphites of Lime,
Soda, Potassa, and Iron.
Theee remedies were brought to notice by D. John
Francis Churchill, an eminent physician of Dublin, and
have attracted ranch attention front the medical profession.
To give a general Idea of their altion, we make the follow.
ing extracts from Dr. Churchill's Parer " On the Proximate
Cause and Specific Remedy of Tuberculosis," read before
the Academy of Medicine, Paris, Jnly, 1867. Says Dr. C.:—
" The total number of cases of Phthisis treated by me
amounts to thirty-five. All were either in the second or
third stages of the complaint; that is, they bad either
softened tubercles or cavitiae in the lungs: of thew, nine
recovered completely, the physical signs of the disease die
appearing altogether In eight out of that number; eleven
improved considerably, and fourteen died. The I:Anita
will be found 10, justify the following conclusions:
"The proximate canoe, or at all events an eteentlal con.
dition of the tubercular diathesis, in the decrease in the
system of-the phosphorus which it contains in an oxygeni•
sable state.
,4 The specific remedy of the disease eonsiste in the moot
a preparation of phosphorus, uniting the two conditions
being in snob a state that it may be directly aseitniiated,
and at the same time at the lowest possible degree of osp.
diction.
"The effects of these salts upon the tubercular diathesis
is immediate ; all the general, symptoms of the disease die.
appearing alto a rapidity which is really marvelous. If
the pathological depeeit produced by the dyscracy is of re
cent formation, if softening has only just set in, and does
not proceed too rapidly, the tubercles are reabsorbed and
disappear. When the softening has attained a certain de
gree, it sometimes continues in spite of the treatment; and
the issue of the disease then depends open an anatomical
condition of the local laden, on its extent, and upon the
existence or non-existence of complications. I have mule
numerous attempts to modify the local condition of the
lungs by the Inhalation of different- substances, but have
never obtained any satisfactory result independent of what
was to be attributed so the. speedne treatment. Tba Hypo
phosphites are certain prophylactics against tubercular
disease.
"The physiological effects show these preparations to
have a two-fold action ; on the one hand they intimate the
principle, whatever that may be, which constitutes nee-
VOMI forte, and on the other, they elevate the tone of the
several functions concerned In alimentation and nutrition.
They meta to possess, in the highest degree, all the them.
peutical properties formerly attributed by different ob.
servers to phosphorus itself, without any of the danger
which attends the nee of that substanov The :different
preparations of Hypophosphorus Acid will undoubtedly
occupy one of the most important places in the Materla
Medics."
The success of this treatment being so much In advance
of anything before attained in the management of this
heretofore almost incurable disease, calla for a thorough
testing of these remedies. With this yiew,theecaubination
here offered hi the form of Syrup has been made.
The beneficial effect. of times - Salts are not limited to
Consumption alone; they are appropriate remedies In a
