A lady, having guests to dinner, told her
maid to make mushroom sauce. On opening
the can of mushrooms, the maid noticed a
disquieting color.
"Well," said the lady, "put a little on some
toast and. give it to the dog.
If
he eats it,
probably it's all right."
The maid jlid so; and reported that the dog
begged for more. She was instructed to serve
the sauce.
All went well until the guests were having
coffee, when the maid, white-faced, came in
and whispered to her mistress . "Oh, ma'am,
the dog has just died!"
There was only one thing to do-explain
to
the guests and call the nearest doctor to come
running with his stomach pump. Eight steak
and mushroom dinners were removed.
Then the mistress \Vent to the kitchen and
asked the maid where the dog was:

Mr. Blackstone, an authority recognized by this
Court, has well said: "Man, considered as a crea-
ture, must necessarily be subject to the laws of his
Creator, for he is entirely a dependent being. . . .
The will of his Maker is called the law of nature.
. . . This law of nature, being coeval with man-
kind, and dictated by God himself, is, of course,
superior in obligation to any other.
It
is binding
over all the globe, in all countries, at all times. No
human laws are of any validity if contrary to this;
and such of them as are valid derive all their force
and all their authority, mediately or immediately,
from the original. . . . Upon these two founda-
tions, the law of nature, and the law of revelation,
depend all human laws. That is to say no human
laws should be suffered to contradict these."
Counsel for Clara Schneider further said:
It
is hardly necessary for me to say that there
is a rapidly rising tide of Nazism and Fascism
sweeping the whole world. This Totalitarian doc-
trine and rule has gained control of 'most all of
Europe and is reaching out to control America,
and one of the means of accomplishing this pur-
pose is to deny persons the right to serve and wor-
ship Almighty God without first obtaining a permit
from a police officer.
for nine months for the sole reason that Man-
ton, one .of the mainstays of the religio-
political Hierarchy, had denied him his Con-
stitutional right of bail pending appeal. After
the case was presented hefore the Supreme
Court of the United States he was admitted
to bail. Shortly thereafter the case, which con-
tained 125 errors, was tried and the majority
of the Appellate Court readily reversed the
adverse judgment, while the "Knight of St.
Gregory the Great" (Manton), working with
his coconspirators, the Hierarchy, dissented in
that opinion. To show that he was not ashamed,

is made' by smaller nations acting through the
League of Nations to have Russia arbitrate her
differences with little Finland, the Comin-
tern's reply is to the effect that no war is
fought with Finland (although at this writ-
ing some 50,000 Soviets and unnumbered thou-
sands of Finns have been slain), but' that a
new government has been set up in Finland
which "does not endanger Russia", that this
government has

recognized by Stalin's
monstrosity, and that a state of rebellion exists
which Russia must assist in quelling. One does
not exactly gather just of what Russia is re-
lieving the Finns, but it appears certain that
soon they will' have nothing more "to

the Lord's assemblies and, through the assist-
ance of certain officers of the law enforcement
department of New York, had Jehovah's wit-
nesses arrested for attempting to keep order,
when the outcome of this case was to free Jeho-
vah's witnesses, and the Coughlinites had sore
heads and other parts for their pains, they
still learned nothing. The further fact is that
the opposition of the Hierarchy to the Lord's
message, in which they have used every weap-
on, from gagging the press to murder, has had
no result, but, on the contrary, this message
has increased in volume until the last year saw
the largest number of publications, and great-
est witness, of any. But none of these facts
will teach the Devil's hirelings anything. They
are "vessels fitted for destruction", and not
good for anything else.
"The Crime" of Clara Schneider
It
has always been one of the Devil's meth-
ods to have his agents accuse a servant of the
Lord of sedition or some other crime. Daniel,
Jeremiah, Nehemiah, Zerubbabel, Shadrach,
Meshaeh and Abed-nego, Jesus and the apos-
tles, were all accused of some crime against
the government. The Hierarchy's modern
method of 'framing mischief by law' is sim-
ply the time-old custom of the Devil, the pur-
pose always being to interfere with the Lord's
servant in carrying out His purpose.
Supremacy of JEHOVAH'S Law at Issue
Is it not a terrible condemnation against
the Hierarchy that the only man who honored
the name of Jehovah at this United States
Supreme Court hearing is one they have
dubbed "ex-convict"? And the fact that it is
not a personal fight, but an effort on their part
to dishonor the Lord's message, puts them first
on the docket for His execution. The words of
this servant of the Most High were so
ineseap-
ably plain: "I hope this Court will decide that
in America a person may worship Almighty
God JEHOVAH in a manner agreeable to
his conscience, as set forth in the Bible, with-
out first obtaining permission of a police
officer." The SUPREMACY OF JEHOVAH'S LAW
is the vital issue, but the Court, an excellent
man-made institution, ignored or disregarded
the great LIFE-GIVER. Those who do not
dis-
cern His THEOCRACY will not receive His
blessings.__Isaiah 45: 23; Acts 3: 23.
No lesson teaches the wicked anything, be-
cause they despise instruction. (Proverbs
1:
7;
13: 13) The fact that Judge Rutherford,

Facts
In New Jersey's town of Irvington, in
De-
cember, 1935, Clara Schneider went from door
to door leaving with interested persons litera-
tureexplaining the purposes of Almighty God
as written in the Bible. From some of such
persons she accepted contributions given to
aid in printing and distributing more like
literature.' She was maliciously accused and
wrongfully convicted as a violator of the
town's canvassing ordinance. She purposely
had not applied to police for a permit, for she
considered herself as sent by the Most High
God, JEHOVAH, to do His work under Christ
Jesus, and that therefore to apply to any
creature for a permit would be an act of dis-
obedience to her Creator. Her wrongful
con-.
viction was reversed by America's highest
court as

unlawful encroachment upon
