Bishop Cannon Wins an Award

The announcement that Bishop James Cannon, Jr., of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South, has been chosen by the journal "Christian Herald," as the American who "made the most significant contribution to religious progress" during 1928, fell upon the ears of the public a short time ago. As an award for his truly extraordinary exertions in the cause of religion during the twelve months lately come to an end, the Bishop was given a trip to the Holy Land. Stanley High, editor of the "Christian Herald," has been quoted as saying that Bishop Cannon was selected for the honor because of "his long and distinguished Christian leadership, and in particular because of his campaign in the South on behalf of prohibition before the last national election."
