thins was going a. happen then. Mrs.

gave Eldcr Bantou an 10y glare. Raid
Elder Banton. In effect, addressing the
congregation;
"Ths two weeks in the course Of which
Mrs.. Elizabeth n 0rannis was 10 withdraw
from the congregation. In accordance with
the vote Of tina, body. have expired. Mrs.,
Grannis has not Withdrawn. Her name
will he stricken from the roll Of the con.
gregation. and the clerk IL 90 notified
Up jumped Mrs. Grannis. She wanted
the privilege Of making q few remarks,
Elder Banton couldn't seo things that way.
II was no time or place for argument. II
Mn. Grannls had desired to say anything
m the subjec, she ought to have spoken
out ut other meetings, when she had plenty
Of opportunit 81. She was out Of order.
Mrs. Grannis didn't agree with the elder.
II he thought she was out Of order the
congregation didn't. Would Elder Banton
lust put the matter to the congregational
The elder would not. Mrs. Grannis was
still out Of order.
Then up rose Trustee Samuel Hoke. one OF
the Grannis supporters. Mr.. Hoke had pre-
pared typewriter copies Of the charges
which had been made against Mrs. Grannis,
Some members Of the congregation had
asked for these, he said. He didn't believe
that all the members were familiar witt the
charges in detail. He would like to road
them. Trustee Hoke also was out OF order.
These matters ought TO have been dis
cussed at the meetings held for that purpose
and not of a Sunday service. A member
of the Grannis opposition butted in with a
resolution that any matter relating to the
Grannis case should be reduced to writing
and filed with the officers Of the church.
Trustee Hoke is ~persevering. II he hadn't
beer he never would nave stuck by Mrs.
Grannis 30 long in the face Of overwhelming
odds. He marched up the aisle to the pulpit
platform. Then he faced the congregation
and began reading his typewriter matter.
He has a strong voice, but not so strong
as the combined voices Of Deacons Apple
gate, Moore and Minniok, all OF whom got
to their feet, declaring that Trustee Hone
was out of order.
Hoke read on, a word now and thsn being
audible in the parliamentary confusion.
Other members Of the congregation jumped
up and moved that the meeting adjourn.
Hoke read on. The organ began to play.
the organist trying to reach for all the wind
ant to rubber at the same time. Ths young
divinity student looked confused. What
happened after that isn't just clear. There
Is n difference between the Grannis sup
porters and the regulars. The Grannis
supporters say that Elder Banton announced
that the congregation will now listen to
the benediction but that Hoke kept reaoing
until finally the presiding elder decided to
dispense with the benediction. Elder Ban
ton says that that wasn't the reason at all
that the benediotion was omitted. 1t was
all the fault OF the organist. He started
up on the postlude without any signal,
because he saw some Of the people leaving
the church. Trustee Hoke = himself says
that be didn't hear the organ at all. Mrs
Grannis says that she intendsto occupy
