Freedom Of Religion
Widened in Ru|ino
By Appeals Court

Asserting that freedom Of speech.
press and religion are entitled to A
preferred scheme OF ordered lib
erty,'' the Court of Appeals yester-
day reversed itself under authority
granted recently by Supreme Court
decisions.
The case involved sale OF a re-
llgious magazine without a license
by two members of Jehovahs Wit
nesses. Actually in dispute was the
Police Court ruling that David
Busey and Orville J. Richie had to
pay SIS fine or serve one day in Jail.
The defense, however. fought on
the larger question Of whether there
was basic right to be unhindered
in informing others of ones re-
ligious convictions.
Case Remanded for Review.
The appeals decision yesterday
said that when it had originally de-
cided the case in April the ajority
held that decisions of the Supreme
Court required us to hold the statute
valid The decision referred to the
1910 statute licensing religious sales.
The Supreme Court upheld the
Police Court and the Court of Ap-
peals, but in February. with changes
in the courts membership the high
est court granted a writ of certiorari
and remanded the case for review.
Edgerton Writes Decision.
The second decision of the Court
OF Appeals. written by Justice Henry
w. Edgerton, held that when legis-
lation appears on its face to affect
the use OF speech. press or religion
and when its validity depends on the
basis of facts which are not proved
their existence should not be pre-
sumed"
The apeals court indicated that
the burden of proof would fall on
the prosecution to show that the
license charge is designed to pro-
vide a 'fee commensurate with the
cost of inspection, supervision and
regulation" only.
Chief Justice D. Lawrence Groner
of the Court of Apeals and Justice
Justin Miller sat on the case with
Justice Edgerton.

Vatican City Bombs
Cant Be Identified
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
BERN, Switzerland, Nov. g.
Vatican City authorities believe
that not even a technical investiea- :
ton would establish responsibility
for Friday nights bombing of Vati-
can City. the Swiss Telegraph
Agency said today.
Because of this. the dispatch
added. 1t is likely that Pope Plus
XII will address himself once more
to all belligerents and neutrals to
ask that proclamation of the capital
of the Christian world not be added
to the many sorrows bloodying the
earth"
In one of the first neutral COM
ments on the bombing the Swiss
newspaper Gazette de Lausanne
noted the bellieerents' accusations
of each other for the incident, but
declared that if, according to the
Latin proverb. the guilty of an act
should be sought among those who
would benefit, England could have
no advantage in directing her bombs
at Vatican City-but all to the con-
trary. The fact that bombs were
of British manufacture tas con-
tended by Germany is not suffl-
cient proof. Many have fallen with
out exploding and could be recon-
ditioned Thus it is natural that a
lively protest was raised against the
accusation it would not be the
first such act for the Germans We
recall the Reichstag fire which
blazed in the infantcy of Naziism,
concerning which there still are
doubts"

Church and Home
By REV. M. MIKKELSEN

Fear not, for l have redeemed
thee: 1 have calleth thee by thy
name, thou art mine. When thou
passest through the waters 1 will be
with thee, and through the rivers,
they shall not overflow thee. For ]
am the Lord thy God, the Holy One
of Israel, thy Savior" Qsaiah 43)
AS another year is closing upon
us, and we prepare to step across
the threshold into the new year,
there are undoubtedly those among
us who would need the assurance of
the promise of Gods presence as It
is expressed in the passage l have
quoted. 1t would indicate that living
close to God is dangerous living, and
that the only comfort we may have
is the assurance, that God is near
and no harm can befall us.
God does not want men to be
afraid of life or of death; rather
would He do all He can to help us
face these courageously and fearless
ly. There should be joy in knowing
that we are being used in the SER
vice of God, and that the place of a
Christian is always the place of great
est danger where he can do the
most good to his fellowman.
Passing through the waters, and
the rivers"
1t is for a purpose. There is a
useful work that must be done, a
great task which has to be accom-
plished. It's when you go out for me,
doing things which are essential for
the welfare and the salvation of man
kind, that you may count on my pre-
sence; it's on such missions, when
you run into treacherous shoals, and
find yourself facing such perils
which threaten to overflow you, that
l am there to double your strength
and see that you are not discour-
arged to the extent that you may
give up the battle before victory
has been definitely assured in your
favor.
Thus God speaks to the redeemed
who are at all times being assigned
to such tasks which might endanger
their lives. It's their joy to serve
at such perilous tasks knowing that,
despite the distress and misery they
must endure at times, there is no
fear and no grief, for they are safe
in the presence of God in whom
they live and serve.
The proof of this is the resur-
rection of Jesus on Easter morning.
When He was born, no nation on
earth had any way of knowing that
the greatest enemy of war as pro-
motion to evil desire, selfish pos
session, pride, greed, tyranny, etc.
had come into the world to take His
place among men, and that in few
years the thinking of men would be
SO influenced by His teachings that
all national issues, selfishly inspired
by pride, would receive definite
setback, and that every time effort
is made to revive the old monster,
there will be enough men on hand
who believe in Christ's way of life to
follow it fearlessly and fight its en-
emy until his defeat is reality.
Costly decisions must be made, and
much false pride must be defeated,
before we come to the end of an
other year. There will be waters
and rivers to 60 through, but no
fear.
