A. A. A. A.

A month ago a group of atheists in Manhattan applied for incorporation as a "wrecking company . . . to abolish the belief in God," etc. Justice Mitchell of the State Supreme Court denied the petition for incorporation as "highly improper" and threw it out of court. Last week the incorporators turned to another Justice of the State Supreme Court, Justice Ford, with the petition somewhat toned down. He approved it, and in the natural course of events the "American Association for the Advancement of Atheism" will become an established fact. Part of its program is to erect radio stations to broadcast lectures and debates on science and religion and to publish anticlerical literature.
