Atlanta Preacher
i Starts Rampage
In Convention
Rev- G. W Jordan of Atlan¬
ta started a rampage in the
Georgia Baptist Missionary and
Educational Convention, Rev.
R C Crouch, preslden , in ses¬
sion in Columbus, following the
laymen's report, which was
read by Deacon II S Bynes of
Macon.
Briefly stated in three sec¬
tions, the laymen submitted
resolutions, viz-, first, resolved
that due respect be given our
pres'dent and the entire con¬
vention in our dcl'berations,
avoiding filibustering upon the
floor. Especially do we ask
our ministers, who are our spir¬
itual leaders, which not only
lowers the d'gni.y of the con¬
vention, but, as Christians, it
leaves the wrong example for j
laymen to follow. .
Second, whereas the consti-;
tutlon provides that laymen '
enroll ...... in their department, , , . for ,
$1.00, and also provides that
vent’on they enroll for in si.50, the working General hard- Con- j
sh'ps upon the laymen; resolve;
that the constitution be
ed so as to make one enroll-
ment cover all requirements.
Third, resolved that the con-1
vention will print minutes, in¬
cluding the proceedings of all
our auxTaries, viz., the Lay¬
men's Department, women’s

Zetas to Raise
$5000 For
The NAACP
NEW YORK — Under .he
slogan, “Zeta Stands for Jus¬
tice for All People," the fjrori-
ty, Zeta Phi Beta is conducting
a, December campaign for funds
for the NAACP among all i s
graduate chapters, asking each
one to give at least $100 to its
local NAACP branch or to he
national office. Through a
special appeal to all chapters,
Zeta Phi Beta hopes to raise
$5 000- Lullelia W- Harrison,
grand bas'leus of the sorority,

Zeta Phi Beta sorority and all

to voice our resentment, than
by rasing funds for the pur¬
