to the Pilgrims. their ship to the May-
flower. He attacked legislative plans
to curb radicals. Bishop Thomas F.
Gailer called him “a pampered pet of
a group of rich men and women who
poses as a frigid of the poor."
Grant shrugged his dhouldcrs and
went on.
Chapter IV
Talk came of putting him on trial
in an ecclesiastical court for celebrat—
ing communion improperly. for per-
.mittlng laymen to speak at religious
services. and for performing the
marriage of a. guilty divorcee. But
the case was dropped—arith a.
rebuke and a warning for Dr.
Grant. . .
Now came the time when he was
to llght a personal fight—and lose.

But she died in the Prtsbyterlan
Hospital. The body was buried in
the graveyard of Dr. Grant's church.
Chapter VII
Sorrow stilled Dr. Grant's pulpit
voice for a. time. Soon he renewed
his fight against the church's stand
on marriage and divorce.
He said: “If marriage is founded
on the aflection of two persons for
each other, as marriage in America is
supposed to be, with the disappear-
ance of such sentiment disappears the
only ground {or the marriage."
He had been advocating easy di-
