Ancient and Modern Necrom-
ancy, Ilias Mesmerism and Hypno-
tism, Denounced" was the subject
of the Lesson-Sermon on Sunday
May 81, in all Churches of Christ,
Scientist. Golden Text: "Sing unto
the Lord, praise ye the Lord; for
he hath delivered the soul of the
poor from the hand of evildoers." j"
Jeremiah 20:13). Among the ci-
tations which comprised the Les
son-Sermon was the following
from the Bible: 'Woe to them that
go down to Egypt for help; and
stay on horses, and trust in char
lots, because they are many; and
in horsemont, because they are
very strong; but they look not
unto the Holy One of Israel, neith-
er seek the Lord" (Isaiah BID.
The Lesson-Sermon also included
the following passages from the
Christian Science textbook, Sci
ence and Health with Key to the
Scriptures, by Mary Baker Eddy:
Animal magnetism has no scien-
tific foundation, for God governs
all that is real, harmonious, and
eternal, and His power is neither
animal nor human. Its basis being
belief and this belief animal, in
Science animal magnetism, mes
merism, or hypnotism is a mere
negation, possessing neither intel
ligence, power, nor reality, and in
sense it is an unreal concept of the
so-called mortal mind. There is
but one real attraction, that of
Spirit. The pointing of the needle
to the pole symbolizes this all-em-
bracing power or the attraction of
God, divine Mind" (p. 1927.

the environment is not a field of effort but a sounding board for his ego-prestige a stage for his vanity. Whereas in the person who Is am- bilious for accomplishing every thing is true and genuine; in the case of the person who Is amblt- ious for prestige, other goals ahe neither genuine or true, but rather presented and enacted for the sole benefit of the ego"
 Many normal individuals, say Doctors Dodge and Kahn, ind short cuts to their desired goal of a feeling of superiority such as ''vicarious indentification with prominent persons or heroes; sus- ceptibility to flattery; arbitrary ex- clusion of criticism by emotional outburst or withdrawal from a crit ical environment; exhibitionism of various orders from club oratory to scientific productivity, from scratching one's initials in promt- nent places to poetry"
 Extreme congregations of the feeling of superiority and of pseu- do-superiority' say the authors, "are found in the natural history of the 'Conceited Ass who con- stantly affects superiority to his en- vironment. We all know individual representatives of the type. They range from those who whistle the arias or tell the plot at the opera, to the blase student whom every

many is to be saved from com munism and Europe from political and economic chaos. President Hoover's one-year suspension of separations and war debts. accord ing to Italians, is the big wedge which has cracked the entire foun- dation upon which the Young plan is built.
 Italy is convinced that the Young plan will never be applied next year in it's present form. Either it will be discarded for some other plan, or completely revised. This is necessary because Germany will not be able to make next years payments, in spite of the one-year respite.
 Mussolini believes that repara- tions and war debts must be scaled down drastically if Europe is to regain economic normality. Coin cidentally with reparations revision Europe must disarm. Italy has definitely thrown her lot in favor of world disarmament. Mussolini believes:
 ONE. Europe's uncertain to- morrow will be more troubled than to-day if the present system of separations and war debts is con- tinued. Financially Germany can not continue to pay, and economic ally other countries can not afford to have her strive to pay.
 TWO. At the same time repara- tions and war debts are frightened, the European political atmosphere must be cleansed by thorough re- vision of armament from top to

CTS might have been excelled if it had been worth his effort. Some of them indulgently admit that the old man has his points but they are usually inconoclasts in morals and religion even though they con- descendingly approve the spirit of social convention for common men and pat God on the back in token of equality"
 The authors find tha tnot only individuals but nations seem to &C., quire the affectations of the Con- ceited Ass but that is ''the peculiar mark of infantilism in new civili- zations, in youth movements, in pseudo-scinence, and in various reforms to rise superior to the accumulated experience of the race" 'The Conceited Ass" they find, Knows just how each crisis in economic and political affaris should be remedied, just what panacea would cure the ills of our civilization. Sometimes he sits on a chacker box by the fire of a crossroads store, where he is lela- lively harmless. Sometimes he is a millionaire, publicst, professor, prime minister. or dictator, when he may do more damage than a whole generation of wisdom can repair. Always he is a misfortune in the community as long as he re- mains an ass and is conceited."

New Haven, Sept 25-"Just now popular psychology rather over works the inferiority complex as a weapon both of attack and de- fense," say Professors Raymond Dodge and Eugen Kahn in their book "The Craving for Superior ity." which will be published to- day by the Yale University Press. Dr Dodge is professor of psycholo- ry at Yale and is the author of several books on experimental psychology. Dr Kahn, the former director of the Psychopathic clin-. ic in Munich, is now professor or psychiatry and mental hygiene at Yale. His latest book "Psycho- pathic Personalities" has just been published in an English traslation by the Yale University Press.
 The book, which combines the points of view of a psychologist and a psychiatrist, is published under the auspices of the Yale Institute of Human Relations.
 According to Doctors Dodge and Kahn, the craving for superiority in inherent in each individual and probably has its origin in the inn pulse for preservation. They see Superiority and inferiority as intimately related to each other. "Only one at the very bottom of a distribution of a trait (such as height or weight, or the capa- ity to work) is superior to nobady. Conversely, only one at the very top Is inferior to none. The great majority of mankind is to be found between these two extremens. Each one is both inferior and superior at the same tim-superior to those below him and inferior to those above him."
 The mutual adjustment of the individual and his environment brings into play the closely related felings of superiority and inferior ity, If an individual is dominated by his environment, the authors say. a feeling of inferiority results, while consciousness of domination places the individual in a position of security. The vagabond on the street may feel inferior to the tene- nnent dweller and so o nup the so- cial leader who Is mortified at haV- ing failed to capture the latest so- cial lion. On the other side, even the vagabond may at least occa- sionally, enjoy his actual or appar. ent freedom, with the feeling or superiority and feel very superior when he beats up a fellow Waif or still better a policeman and gets his name in the paper.
 s"The dominant feeling of su- periority or of inferiority differs notably in degree from time to time according to the mood of the individual. Changing conditions have rapid and profound conse-

quences. We may feel superior to our dentist on the golf course or in philosophy; not so in his waiting room and operating room" The craving for superiority. 1t is stated, is unsuitable great financiers, great scientists like great generals may sigh for more worlds to conquer"
 The authors point out that each personality is uniquely different from every other. The individual who is ambitious for real accom- plishment exists for the world" say the authors. He lives and works for the environment and is more or less conscious of this fact. For him it is a matter of doing and be- ing, of genuine values and goals. His antithesis is the individual who is ambitionus chiefly for prestige, of whom it may be said that he assumes or acts as though the world existed for him. For him
