Notable sermon to Meredith girls at First Baptist church
In Raleigh on May 22 twenty seven Meredith seniors attended a notable sermon by Dr Henry Alford Porter of Atlanta at First Baptist church. Porter, newly occupying John E White's former pulpit, delivered simple yet powerful preaching that sustained the church's growing national reputation. Judge J C Biggs has filed a Supreme Court brief challenging Judge Manning and Attorney General on the validity of late General Assembly amendments tied to the 1916 election. The Western Wake Highway bond case and related acts loom over state politics as Supreme Court decision looms. Manning's opinion stirs unease within the legal community.
