go up, according to DR.. j. r. Mccain,
president of Agnes Scott College.

colleges 1t has been found that the de-
preston has brought higher grades,
better and more constant study and
an evident desire to make full use of
college training"
DR.. Mccain also said that the wide
knowledge of the youth of today IS by
no means confined to information on
sex.
ut IS of aviation, of radios. Of auto
mobiles, of new inventions, of Govern
ment and of world peace" he, said.

LESSON-SERMON CHOSEN
Atonement Is Subject Tomorrow in
Christian Science Churches.

Doctrine of Atonenent" Is the sub
feet of the lesson sermon in all the
Churches Of Christ, Scientist, tomor-
row. The golden text is from John,
1879: John seeth Jesus coming unto
him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of
God, which taketh away the sin of the
world"
Among the citations which comprise
the lesson-sermon is the following
from the Bible: For God SO loved the
world, that He gave His only begotton
Son. that whatsoever believeth in Him
should not perish, but have everlasting
life. For God sent not His Son into the
world to condemn the world; but that
the world through Him might be
saved" John iii:l6-1D. The lesson
sermon also includes the following
passage from the Christian Science text
book. Science and Health With Key to
the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy:
1.-THE atonement of Christ reconciles
man to God, not God to man. 1t
was, therefore. Christs purpose to rec
oncile man to God, not God to man.
Love and truth are not at war with
Gods image and likeness. Man cannot
exceed divine love, and so atone for
himself. Even Christ cannot reconcile
truth to error, for truth and error are
irreconcilable. Jesus aided in reconcile
ing man to God by giving man truer
sense Of love, the divine principle OF
Jesus teachings and this truer sense
81 love redeems man from the law Of
matter, sin and death by the law of
spirit-the law of divine love-" (Pages
