How They'll Finsh-PhiIIes, Eighth
Uncertain Pitching Hondicops
Chopmon's OnIy-Foir Outfit

From Simmons he hopes to get 1C
wins. Only 10 years old, Simmons
is prodigy and a reported $65, ,00O
prodigy at that. Just out OF high
school, he got a record bonus for
signing and at Wilmington last year
he justified some of the outlay by
compiling 1875 record. In his only
big league game he beat the Giants
3 to l, by pitching 5-hitter on the
closing day Of the season.
Andy Seminick, Don Padgett and
Al Lakeman are the Phils' catchers
ranking in that order. It's a corps
that doesn't rank with some, but is
better and deeper than many others
including the Cardinals. The in
field probably will consist of First
Baseman AL Flair Ga 1903 hitter fol

either Bert Haas, who batted .286 a.
an outfielder for the Reds in 1947
or 'Bsma Rowell, an infielder-out-
fielder recently obtained from the
Dodgers via the Braves.
The outfield packs punch. Harry
Walker. whose average jumped from
.237 with the Cards in 1946 to .37l
for the Phillies in 1947, is the Ma.
tional Leagues batting champion
and fine centerfielder. In left field
will be Del Ennis, the long ball hit
ter of the club. and in right field the
veteran Roy Cullenbine is considered
by Chapman to be a regular.
Before the season opens, or before
it gets very old, pitching strength
may be added by one or more trades
Probably no other club has so many
shortstops as the Phillies, listing
four in addition to Miller. It's al
most certain that one or more will
be traded. Chapman can use only
one shortStop at a time, but unless
some heretofore journeyman pitch
ers catch fire he may be busiest sig
mailing to the bullpen. --STANN.

III THE EFFECT OF
.CHRIST'S ATONING
DEATH - Romans 8:19-
%; Gal. Blob; Col. 2:
Is, IA; I Tim. 1:14-16;
Heb. 9:24-28; 10 :4-1O.
By the acceptance of Christ's
Atonement, the sinner ceases
his rebellion against God and
becomes His child. Love Di-
vine, as manifested in Christ's
sacrificial death, melts the sin
ner's heart and transforms his
life. Receiving Christ into the
heart brings pardon and for
giveness; also an abiding
peace and joy, passing all hu-
man understanding.
While the Atonement of
Christ has been provided for
all mankind, only in the lives
of those who truly accept the
Savior is it made effective. The
Atonement is of special signi-
ficance to the Church for -
"Christ loved the Church and
gave Himself for it." The
Atonement also provides final
restoration for a disordered
world, in that it will remove
the curse resting upon the
earth because of sin.

YOUR SALVATION?

Isaiah 53:1-5; II Corinthia,

The Atonement of Christ is
the most important doctrine of
Scripture. It has been compar-
ed to the Ark of the Covenant,
which was the central object
in the Holy of Holes, within
the Tabernacle. The teaching
on the Atonement is indeed the
acid test of Christian doctrine;
for only through Christ's sacri-
ficial death can a sinner OBJ
tain the blessing of Gods Sal
walton. The Word declares,
without the shedding of
blood there is no remission"
Our Lord Jesus Christ is Gods
substitute for guilty sinners;
for He, the sinless One, was
''made sin" for us and bore
''the curse" in His own body
on the Cross, that we might be
reconciled to God.
L THE NEED FOR A VI
CARIOUS ATONEMENT
Lev. 16:15-17; Psalm %:
7-18; Isaiah 53:1-5; Mat
thew :35-41; I Tim. 2:
5, g.; Heb. 2:14.-
Mans sinfulness m a d e
Atonement necessary. When
Adam and Eve transgressed,
God provided for them "a COW
ering" coats of skins. This
typified the covering of Christ's
Righteousness which God would
provide for sinful man through
the vicarious suffering and
death of His Son. The teaching
of blood atonement, as scar
let thread, runs through all the
Old Testament Scriptures.
The Hebrew word kaphar,
translated atonement, means
"to cover" Animal sacrifices
could never ''take away SINS"
Only as he who offered the
sacrifice confessed his sin to
God, would God ''cover" or
"pass over" the sin. All ami
NAL sacrifices were types of
Messiah's propitiatory sacrifice
on the Cross of Calvary. The
Son became 'the Lamb of God
that taketh away the sin of the
world"
The theocrat. [volume] (Zion City [i.e. Zion], Ill.) 1914-1949, 1948-04-14

The Passover Feast, insti-
tuted in Israel on the night of
the departure from Egypt, is
a Scriptural picture of atone
ment by blood. God demanded
that the blood of a sacrificial
lamb be "sprinkled" upon the
Intel and sideposts of every
house in Israel, in order that
the avenging angel, when he
passed through the land slay-
ing the firstborn of the Egyp-
tians, would "pass over" the
homes of the Children of Israel
and spare their firstborn. The
Feast of Atonement was of vi
tai Importance in Israel, for on
that day, once a year, the high
priest entered the Holy of Ho-
lies with the blood of the sac
rificial goat to make atone
ment for the sins of Israel"
Judaism, since it's rejection
of Messiah, has lost this essen
tial message. Christianity alone
declares that only by the sac
rificial death of the Son of God
can man obtain atonement and
redemption.
II THE PURPOSE OF
CHRIST'S MING
DEATH Romans 5:6-11;
$3.50; I Cor. 1918; II
Cor. 5:18-21; I Peter 1:18,
10; I John 81, 2; 3:8.
Some look upon Christ's
death as that of a martyrs. IF
that were all Christ's death
meant, it would exclude any
possibility Of mans redemp-
ton. Christ gave His life vol
unfairly and substitutionally.
Death had no claim upon Him,
for Gin Him was no SIM" He de-
terminedly went up to Jerusa-
lem, foretelling His approach
ing death. He said of His life:
"No man taketh it from Me, but
[ lay it down of Myself. I have
power to lay it down, and I
have power to take it again."

est measure of mans degrada-
ton; also, the greatest measure
OF Gods love. 1t proves the

Of the latest in styles in mems
clothing while shopping we had
talk with Robert J. SWEET,
styiist for mems clothing al
Mays the worlds largest de-
psrtment store. here in New
York. Here are some OF the
thing learned.
PASTEL TONED SHIRTS
Shirts: Colored pastel tones
are currently the most popular
shirts with men although white
shirts are always a favorite. Be
careful Of the type collar you
select in buying a shirt. Mr.
SWEET points out that the most
popular collar style today is the
bold look" type in which the
fuses OF the collar are vice
apart This exactly the opposite
OF the roll collar which was pop
ular sometime ago. The fuses on
the roll collar were long and al
most touched each other. In some
quarters the bold look" shirt
with a wide collar are almost
a rage.
Ties: Men are rapidly dropping
the bold look types which were
so popular a year or so ago. al
though they are not going all
the way back TO the old con-
servative ties. The most popular
ties with the better dressed men
today are ones which have fig
ures but they are small con-
sentative figures.
TROUSERS SHOULD BREAK
Trousers: The better dressed
men are wearing trousers with
a small break" or no break
at all This means that they are
long enough TO form a break
in Tie creas when they touch the
shoe tops. or long enough TO
reach the shoe tops.
Hats: The trend is back to-
ward the narrow brim hat. But
care should be taken to get q
nat width to 60 with the face
of the man for whom you are
buying il. II his face is small
don't get a wide brimmed hat,
# he has a large face by all
means stay away from the mar
row brims.
Mr.. SWEET would not be
pinned down TO any hard fast
rules for men dressers, but he
did drop suggestion about
lapel handkerchiefs He said
such handkerchiefs should not
be worn with a Studied look"
That Is they should not be
pressed and folded in hard
set pattern such as you often
see men wearing them with
four carefully placed points. To.
days trend Is 10 have the lapel
handkerchief take on q casual
ruffled air without appearing
sloppy.
