Missionary State Baptist Convention
were enjoined by Special Chancellor
Elmer Schogen last week from refus,
ing to seat delegates from authorized
churches.
An all-day hearing was held OF
dissenting delegates at meeting IN

accent all delegates who are quail

accented, the convention could not
proceed. The bone of contention IS

BIRMINGHAM. Ala.-The trial of
Bishop r. A. Grant, A. M. e. bishop
of Alabama, who is named by ~
year-old Ollie Glass as the father of
her child born out of wedlock, post
poned once, has been put off q sec
ond time, until Saturday, Decem-
Der -.
Bishop Grant, accompanied by his
wife, has travelled over 1000 miles
in Alabama re n ly attending
church meetings since he returned
from Baltimore three months ago
where he attended the funeral OF
Bishop A. L. Gaines.
Crowds everywhere now turn out
to see the man who has created such
nationwide publicity.
Any preacher driving an automo-
bile (not q Ford) in rural Ala
hama, creates a commotion. Bishop
and Mrs. Grant, driving in a Ora
ham-Paige, arc shouted to by WORK
ers in the cotton fields.
Neither the bishop nor Mrs. Grant
has courted public gaze in the large
cities. Wherever they go, the crowds
turn out and gossipers whisper
"There he is. He signed contract
to give a girl $2,OO0Ato support her
baby. Wonder what his wife thinks
of that"
The current issue of the Christian
Recorder, UNCONVENTIONAL organ

"Bishop Grant is really bishop oil
Alabama. He has wonderful influ
ence with both races. This Influence
goes for those in and outside the
