woke up and found itself an island.
The river had busted through it's old

STUDENTS GO ON
SONG STRIKE TO
KEEP INSTRUCTOR
Holy Roller College Men
Sing Nine Hours to Save
Blind Pastors Job.

NORTH BERGEN, y. j., April 2.
Armed guards patrol the property
and grounds of the Holy Roller
church and missionary college here.
The town is tense with excite
ment.
The trouble started when the trus-
tees decided to dismiss Rev. Ernest
L. Whitcomb. blind pastor of the
Church Of Jesus, official name of the
sect.
Students, boys and girls, resented
the move. They didn't want Rev.
Whitcomb let out, nor did they want
Rev. Harold l.. Moss put in charge,
as the trustees decreed. The entire
North Bergen police department
made a sally on the church chapel
because 100 of the students refused
to stop their singing.
They had been singing for nine
hours without halt!
Song vs.. Speech.
The music was intended to drown
out an official announcement which
Pres't II. d. Smith of the board OF
trustees was trying hard to make.
The announcement once delivered
would remove Rev. Whitcomb and
install Rev. Moss.
Smith finally had his little say,
but only after every one of the
students was marched down to the
village police station and hailed be-
fore a magistrate.
During their hearing on disor-
derby conduct charge, the students
continued their singing in the court
room.
Following their arraignment the
students seized the college buildings
and dOrmitOries.
They held forth for three days
and nights and were only subjugated
through starvation.
Then the students retreated to the
home of their blind pastor and
leader.
From Distant Lands.
Many of the Holy Roller students
come from far-of lands. India and
Africa are represented.
According to Miss Gertrude Har-
rOld, treasurer of the church and
college. the board of trustees ousted
Rev. Whitcomb because he was de-
