No.2-ExistenceofSacrifice

FirstPart.

Inordertoappreciatebetterthe -importanceofthe"Sacrificeofthe Maas,"oneshouldfirstrealisethefact thatnoreligionorcivilisation-w4h theexceptionofMohammedanismand Protestantism-haseverexistedwithoutasacrifice.Now,universalityis thecharacteristicofanythingnecessaryoressentialinthelifeofman, religiousorotherwise.Sacrifice,consequently,shouldberegardedasthe essentialpartofreligion.Carryinga littlefurtheronourconclusion,areligionwithoutasacrificeshouldbeconsideredasnoreligionatall.AllProtestantdenominations,forinstance. 04iinotherpartworthconsideringis Ciliasacrificeistrueevenofprimitive man.Thisisanotherfactthatshows sacrificetobe-besidesanessentialpart ofworship-anaturalthing,alsoarisingoutofman'snaturalinstincts. Man,indeed,isnaturallyrelifiousat heart.Thevoiceofconscienceis there,withinhim,tellinghimthathe isnotanindependentbeing,butthat thereissomethinggreat,verygreat outsidehim,thatwecallGod,to Whomheowessubmissionandobedience,justasasonowesobedienceand submissiontohisfather.Conscience, inaword,nolessthanreason,tells massthatGodisourCreatorand Father.

Theideaofsacrificewasalsointroducedintopagancivilisations,towhich itbecamepartandparceloftheirreligion.But,althoughsoholyinits originandpurpose.sacrificedeviated fromitsoriginalpurityamongpagans, anditbecameahumanslaughtering, practicedformerelymaterialpurposes. andfortheworshippingofgodsof stone.ThisistrueoftheoldIndian andPersianreligions;oftheChinese. theEgyptians,theGreeks,andRomans.Suchconduct,onthepartof pagans.iseasilyunderstoodbyChristiansandsoitshouldnotbewondered atOneshouldratherwonderatsacsilt;beingpractisedatallbyapeople withouttheknowledgeofthetrueGod.

otherwise,sinceitwasgivenbyMoses, God'sgreatProphet,andtheleaderof theJewishnation.

TheessenceoftheHebrewsacrifice liesontheprofoundideaofsubstitution,i.e.,thesubstitutionoftheblood ofananimalinsteadofahumanlife. Amongpagans,sinwasatonedbythe slayingandtheofferingofahuman lifetothepagangod.Thiswas wrong,becauseourlifenotbeingours, butGod's,itcannotbetakenoff.The lifeofananimal,onthecontrary,belongstotnan.Itwasthenbutnatural,thatMosesshouldhavecommandedtheHebrewstheslayingandofferingofanimalblood,insteadofman's blood,asapropitiationforsin.An animalfallsinfinitelyshortoftheDivineMajestyofGod.Yetitwasthe bestMosescoulddisposeofinhis time.TheHebrewsacrifice,asthat one.ofAbrahamandAbel,areallconnectedwiththeburningofthevictim andthecurlycloudsofthesacrificial smokerisinguptothesky.Butthat wasnottheessenceofsacrifice.In theMosaicceremonialtheessenceof sacrificelayinthesprinklingofthe. blooduponthealtaranduponthe peopleuntotheremissionofsin.Let usnotforgetthis.

Theofferingofthisbloodwasdone bythepriest,anditwasaccomplished, Isayagain,bypouringandsprinkling Itroundaboutthealtar.Itwillbe aneasymatterformyreaderstounderstandhowfittinglytheideaofsubstitionfindsexpressioninthesprinklingoftheblood.Thebloodcarries thelifeofthebody.Consequently,bypouringitdown,theHebrewsmeant topour,orlay,downtheirownlives fortheirsins.Itwasasif_theywould havemeanttosay:"Oh,God!Itisthe bloodofthisanimalthatweofferto ThyDivineMajestyinatonementfor oursin.Yetthisbloodonlyrepresentsourownlifewhich,ifitwere ours,wewouldgladlylayitdowninstead,foroursins."

TheNewFashioninReligion

BringingChristianityUptoDate.

ThemodernistteachingintheChurch ofEnglandto-daywasthelatestsurrenderofprofessingChristianpeople totheidealisttendency,saidFather HenryDay,S.J.,preachingthefirst ofacourseofsermonson"TheSupernaturalismoftheGospelandModern Idealism,"inWestminsterCathedral, onarecentSundaymorning.

Itsmethodwasnottoexplain,but toexplainawaythefactsoffaithon purelysubjectiveandrationalistassumptions.

Thus,whileaffectingtoestablishthe permanentvalueoftherevelationof Christinharmonywithreasonand science,itstrippeditofeverysupernaturalwonderandmystery.

Inthenineteenthcenturyitwasthe fashionamongsteducatedmenand womeneithertoacceptChristianity, withitsmysteriesandmiracles,orelse torejectitentirelyinfavourofmaterialismoragnosticism.Inthose daystherewasno"viamedia,"orhalfwayhouseofnaturalreligiontoshelter in.

Nowallthishadchanged.Materialismhadgivenplacetoidealism;and menandwomenwereaskingthemselves,notwhethertheywouldhaveany religionornonebutwhichofmany naturalidealisticbeliefsorphilosophies theywouldchoosetoaccept.

Theagewas"parexcellence"oneof manyfaithsratherthanone;andon everysidetheywereconfrontedwith countless"manufactured"religions

Thecauseofthiswasthetendency toaccepttheconceptionofreligionas subjectiveandexperimental,andnot asarevelationofdivinetruthimposed onreasonbyauthority.
