→Seminary president
Clover was LMBIS president for nineteen years and president-emeritus for the remainder of his life. As president, he established a print shop and the Missionary Baptist Bookstore. He launched and for more than a decade edited the ''Missionary Baptist News''. He was succeeded as the Calvary pastor by Irvin Russell Roshto (born 1934), later of Lufkin and Vidor, Texas, who also subsequently followed Clover as the LMBIS president. The current long-time LMBIS president is another former Calvary Baptist pastor, Donald McCormick.[6]

Clover's books included the scholarly study, ''The Church: Her Origin, Purpose, Doctrine, and History''.[7] He also wrote ''Evil Spirits'', ''Intellectualism and Logic'', and ''Our King Is Coming.'' In the latter, Clover warns that the world is slowly becoming unconscious of sin and its detrimental effects: "Sin is a scavenger that preys on the souls of men. . . the sorrow-poisoned arrow that is producing heartache and tears ... the author and finisher of sickness and death . . . the barricade between God and man . . . the architect and builder of hell. The world will not be rid of sin and its disastrous results before the Lord comes to rule and reign."[8]

From 1956-1961, Clover worked closely with LMBIS dean [[A. T. Powers]], a native Texan who like Clover had pastored several Arkansas congregations. In 1957, Powers became the second pastor of Eastside Missionary Baptist Church in Minden, originally a mission of Clover's Calvary congregation.[9]
