Tuesflny .- rany This morning when the usual hour Eoi the opening of the A. O. Ault gen eral store at Cedar Creek, arrived, it was found that there had already been some one on the job of opening up and hnd made away with goods estimated to be near fo00. The parties pulliug off the robbery at drilled a hole in the front door of the store, using a twi inch auger and which had permitted reaching in and turning the night latch of the door and the parties had than entered the store and ransacked through the stock, talcing the less bulky articles and which they successfully escaped with.

Sheriff Hart Reed and Deputy Sheriff Rex Young were notified ol the robbery and at once hurried to the cene to secure a list f the articles taken and to have these lists sent to "the officers in nearby places where the mbbers might seek to dispose of their loot.

CHRISTIAN SCIENCE The subject of the lesson-sermon read at all Christian Science churches and societies on Sunday, April 19, was "Doctrine of Atonement." A part of one of the citations read from "Science and Health with Key to the I Scriptures." by Mary Baker Eddy, (p. 23) is as follows: "The atone j ment is a hard problem in theology. but its scientific explanation is, that suffering is an error of sinful sense which truth destroys, and that even tually both sin and suffering will fall at the feet of everlasting love." Other citations read from this book and the Bible show that, in the Bible, various references to the blood and body of Jesus, spiritually understood, really refer to the spirit or mind of Christ, which overcomes sin and dis ease. A typical Biblical selection that was read is. "Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me."
