"Atonement," by Rev. Ezra
S. Gannett, 145. Christ has
taught us that repentance is
available to forgiveness, and he
persuades us to prove its effica-
cy; but its efficacy does not re-
sult from any sacrifice or suf-
fering by which he made it
available. I. The imputation
of such an efficacy is irration-
al, in the first place, because it
is needless. II. It is an un-
scriptural tenet. III. It re-
mains for me to show, that the
prevalent view of the atone-
ment is pernicious; by which
I mean that it is suited to in-
jure the moral and religious
character of those by whom it
is embraced. In the first
place, by unsettling and con-
fusing our notions of the Di-
vine government it weakens
the authority of that govern-
ment over our minds, and
hearts, and lives. Again,
the common language respect-
ing the atonement tends to
confound our notions of mo-
rality. I proceed to a third Destitute societies, 298.
effect of this doctrine, which, I
apprehend, is frequently wit-
nessed. It changes the relative
position which Christ and God
should hold in human regard,
exalting the Savior and de-
pressing the Father. - And,
finally, the injurious effect of
the current doctrine of atone-
ment is seen in removing the

"Jesus Christ, the chief corner-
stone." By G. R. Noyes,
D. D., 73. I. The ground of
our confidence in Jesus Christ
as the corner-stone of the
Christian Church, is, that it is
laid by God himself. II. He
is the chief corner-stone, on
which to build our practice.
III. Jesus Christ is the chief
corner-stone, because he is the
only sure foundation, under
God, of the hope of pardon for
past sins. IV. Jesus Christ is
the chief corner-stone of all
hopes of spiritual aid to the sin-
ner in his endeavors to return
to virtue. V. Jesus is the
chief corner-stone of our hopes
of a future life.
