We are often told that we limit the atonement of Christ, because we say that Christ has not made satisfaction for all men, or all men would be saved. Now, our reply to this is, that, on the other hand, our opponents limit it: we do not. The Arminians say, Christ died for all men. Ask them what they mean by it. Did Christ die so as to secure the salvation of all men? They say, “No, certainly not.” We ask them the next question: Did Christ die so as to secure the salvation of any man in particular? They answer “No.” They are obliged to admit this, if they are consistent. They say, “No. Christ has died that any man may be saved if” – and then follow certain conditions of salvation. Now, who is it that limits the death of Christ? Why, you. You say that Christ did not die so as infallibly to secure the salvation of anybody. We beg your pardon, when you say we limit Christ’s death; we say, “No, my dear sir, it is you that do it.” We say Christ so died that he infallibly secured the salvation of a multitude that no man can number, who through Christ’s death not only may be saved, but are saved, must be saved and cannot by any possibility run the hazard of being anything but saved. You are welcome to your atonement; you may keep it. We will never renounce ours for the sake of it.

CATEGORY	CUISINE	TAG	YIELD
Meats	Cornish	Poultry	8	Servings

INGREDIENTS

8		Cornish hens; 10-12 ounces each
		Salt and white pepper
1/2	c	Dijon mustard
2/3	c	White bread crumbs
3	tb	Minced shallots; more or less
1/2	c	Butter; optional

INSTRUCTIONS

Heat oven to 400 degrees.
Rub each bird with salt, pepper and 1 tablespoon of the mustard. Sprinkle
with bread crumbs. Place in a square of foil. Tuck about 1 teaspoon of the
shallots into each bird cavity with 1 tablespoon butter, if desired.
Bring the foil up over the sides of each bird. Seal with a double fold.
Repeat with ends. Leave a little space between the bird and its foil
enclosure so that the crumb coating is not scraped off.
Bake about 50 minutes, or until birds are done. (NOTE: The birdes may not
brown under wraps in this time. If you want them to brown without
overcooking the breasts, open the foil after about 35 minutes and continue
roasting another 15 minutes.)
One Cornish hen makes one generous serving. These are fine for a pre-game
tailgate picnic and other informal occasions. But chill them first unless
they will be eaten within the hour.
