...peasant boy is imprisoned for feeding barley to a hen; a pastor for calling his congregation to account before God for their cowardly acceptance of evil. A professor of law delivers, to the delight of his students, a perverse, seditious lecture on theories of Nazi justice. A sailor is shot for having attended a workers' mass meeting in Manhattan. The local head of the Gestapo cracks under the strain to his decency, warns the city's Jews on the eve of the pogrom of November 1938. In the closing story a mediocre Nazi writer rediscovers his honesty, gets...
...incumbent, A. Harry Moore. Moore's Republican rival in 1937, Clergyman Lester H. Clee, carried 15 of Jersey's 21 counties. But when Hudson's poll was reported, Hague's Moore was found to have won by 45,266 votes. In vain did Pastor Clee charge that the Hudson vote was fraudulent.

When hard times later hit Pastor van Raalte's flock, it moved inland to neighboring Grand Rapids, where its members' woodcarving talents found jobs in the rising furniture industry. Today, of Grand Rapids' 168,000 inhabitants, from a quarter to a third are of Dutch descent...
...thing, it shall not hurt them ..." members of the Little Pine Mountain Church of God were vexed when Kentucky's Legislature recently passed a law imposing a $50-$100 fine on those who (after June 12) "display, handle or use a snake or reptile in a religious service." Pastor George Washington Hensley last week told how his church, by testing faith by poison, had already got around the Legislature: "Brother Bradley Shell took a large dose of strychnine powders about 6 o'clock. We stayed with him until 11:30 and there was no bad effect...
