W O R K O F CH R I S T . THE POINT AT ISSUE.


To THE RoiTon OP ” Tub Ceittiekoe Times- Dear Sir,—.-Vs I quite expt'cted, Mr. Ben­


son has been dislodged. He has abantloned his contention-s .as to the teachings of Christ about his substilulionary work. This was in­ evitable, as anyone with “half an eye and a grain of common sense” could ha.ve forereen I'l'om the comniieiicement. We can well un­ derstand .that onr friend_does nc-t feel over hap]iy under the circumstances, and must therefore mnike allo-wances for the otherwise unpardonable and blasphemous linking of iuima.n names with God’s. One only ren.ark will I make, namely, that this sont of “tall talk appc-trs to be pcculi-.-tr to ^Ir. Bensen, and his followers, as- “Anti-humbug remind­ ed ns last week, but there is no. argument


about it.
