... | {{Style S-Small capitals|The Rev. Henry Ward Beecher}} gives the following views of Sin. | ||
“I have a profound conviction, not merely of universal sinfulness, but that it is founded on the very divine method of human life, and that sin is fundamental with the structure of the globe. I reject, of course I reject, the theologian’s teachings as to the imputation of Adam’s transgression to his posterity. I believe that men manufacture their own sin and that it does not come down as a heirloom from their ancestors. That there is a connection between ancestral sin and ours that does run for two or three generations, I admit, and to a limited extent this heredity is a fact to be recognised. But that the whole vast population of this globe has had divided up among all men and women a dividend of Adam’s original sin, let those believe who can; not I. I believe that the whole race sinned, and do still, on their own account, and not on account of any push that is given them. I reject the theories of imputed sin, but I recognise the universal fact that the spirit of man is weak, and that the flesh of man is strong, and that this is universal and that it places each individual at an immense distance from ideal excellence of a perfect manhood by obedience to the law, and that the human race never gave but one instance, and that our Master, Jesus, who obeyed the laws of God as they are in his body, as they are in the physical globe around him, as they are embodied in society, as they are made known in the lives of heroic men and in the sacred records. Not a single individual of the whole human race ever came up sinlessly except Christ.” | |||

... | {{Style S-Small capitals|Mrs. Hardinge-Britten}}. —Mrs. Emma Hardioge-Britten had a very boisterous passage from Australia to San Francisco. The ship was “hove to” for thirty-one hours during a terrific gale from east to south-east, with a tremendous sea from north-east. On December 23rd, the vessel arrived off the harbour of Honolulu, but on account of the gale could not make the Harbour; the pilot got on board with great difficulty, and owing to the loss of the pilot boat he was brought on to San Francisco. Mrs. Britten intends to revisit England before long. | ||
