Ominous Self Help and Vehmic Courts in History
Special correspondence traces the rise of vigilante and mob justice from Moorish sultanates to European Vehmic courts and American lynch law. It describes how popular tribunals supplanted formal justice, cites Spain, Germany, and frontier United States events, and notes modern threats to legal order.

Religious plans for Chicago World’s Fair visitors
Henry M. Bont reports on Chicago religious efforts for the fair. Fifteen pastors plan mass services in central venues with Sunday school activities and noonday revivals under Dwight L. Moody. A World’s Fair model Sunday school building, funded largely by Illinois, will host conferences and evangelistic meetings near the fairgrounds. The American Bible Society plans distribution of 250,000 New Testaments at the exhibition starting May 1.
