"LESSONS IN LIBERTY" A Study of God in Government By CLARENCE MANION University of Notre Dame Press — ^1.50

There is no democracy without God. As William Penn put it, men either are ruled by God, or they are I ruled by tyrants. That is the diesis of this book, written with shattering clarity by the professor of Constitutional Law at the University of Notre Dame. Professor Manion remarks that Columbus discovered America just in the nick of time to rescue men from tyranny. And we must remark that Prof. Manion WTote this book just in the nick of time to rescue American minds from the tyranny of falsehood, and restore them to the freedom of a clear understanding of their heritage. Tliere is no other book like it. And if this generation has produced a volume more timely and more valuable I fir to Americans, we have nor seen it. It ought to be Clarence E.
