FIGHT

battle was started here last Tuesday
between two factions Of the A. M. L.
Church for the pot of secretary of
the "A. M. e. Board Of Home and
Foreign Missions.
The post is now held by Rev. L. L.
Berry, who was elected following the
death Of the Rev. E. H. Colt. His
election was held illegal by the Bis
hops Council meeting in Wilberforce
on June 8. Rev. Berry has defied the
Bishops Council. Rev. Carl Flipper was
then elected to the post by the Bis
hops Council. Rev. Flipper has petit
toned the court to remove Rev. Berry.
The petitioner was represented BY At
torney William T. Andrews.
Rev. Berry, represented BY Assist
ant Attorney General Harry G. Bragg
and Aiken A. Pope, opposed the petit
ton for an order Of nandamus when
it was made in part 1 OF the Suprema
Court. Rev. Berry argues that the Bis
hops Council exceeded its authority
and that only the Home Missions could
elect its officers.
The case promises to have far
reaching effects on the policies Of the
