Mr.. Goodacre then proceeds to
.Iexplain his title, quoting freely
from the American and English En-
Encyclopedia Of law to show that it
means that certain Information is
4 required. He then states his case
Ito the effect that certain parties
have usurped certain rights and
prerogatives OF the people; thatthey
slare protesting to exercise these
rights and prerogatiVes in the name
Of God The complaint comes next.
Humanity is made the plaintiff and
\ all institutions which practice psy-
Ichic phenomena in the name of God
|are made the defendants. The
! principal allegation, aside from
I those stated in the case is that by
reason of the practising Of psychic
phenomena many persons have
i been led into grievous errors OF

land some of them into disease, IN
sanity and Unnecessary death. The
4 plea is. that the defendants be not
j entitled to divine endorsement, that
8 they are not in possession Of divine
j power. and that they be ousted
from whatever advantage Of preem-
linence they have thus Wrongfully
acquired over the mind of the pee
Iple. The complaint is properly
terrified to by the author as attor-
4 ney for the plaintiff, and a brief
a answer is allowed tothe defendants.
i The story comes next and at the end
comes a three line prayer for judg-
lment to the effect that the plaintiff
prays that the court will render
