WAUKECAN, Ill. Oct. 26.-Wheth'
er Overseer Wilbur Glenn Voliva of
the neighboring holy city" Of Zion
did or did not call the Rev. Thomas
H Nelson, his rival prophet, "a
brazen. faced old tom cat, a hypocrit-
ical hippopotamus and a down-and out,
thoroughly discredited windbag," and
If so, were his words libelous, was a
question growing out of lions re
ligious war" put up to the Circuit
Court here Wednesday.
The Reverend Nelson. who went to
Zion City from Indianapolis, is the
pastor of Grace Missionary Church
in Zion City. and has been engaged
in a feud with Voliva ever since he re-
signed as an elder of Volivas church,
intending to leave him as fiat as Vo-
Iiva's conception of the earth. Hear
ing of the 100000 libel suit brought
by Nelson against Voliva is the latest
development.
Voliva followers hope the courts de
cision will establish the overseer as
unquestionably the only true prophet
in Zion, while the Grace Church con-
gregation trusts the court will award
sufficient damages to pay for a pipe
organ, with possibly enough left over
to provide for a new church carpet.

whether the Wall Street shareholders know

We know a man who has been trying for
two weeks to get phone connected when the

If factory not make money when
