Bishop Gregg delivered a
Il Will Pay My Vows Now" The
prelate, who has had a distin-
guished career as pastor, mission
airy to Africa, and college president,
before being elected to the highest
office of his denomination in 1924,
declared that the Church had failed
in making real its preachment Of
brotherhood.
Cash Donations Given
Ministers from many Twin City
churches Of both races we're pres
ent, as well as at least one out
of-state pastor. Several Of the
pastors brought cash gifts from
their churches for the building fund
rally. Noteworthy among the gifts,
was the donation of 1915 from the
Mt. Olivet Baptist church, st. Paul,
which is also raising money to COM
plete its building; a gift from the
st. PauPs Methodist church, which
has been under a staggering build
ing debt for years; a gift Of $40
from the St. James A. NJ. f. church,
Minneapolis, which has a building
fund, and a gift from the Wayman

grim Baptist church, which gave
$40, is in the midst of a campaign
to raise money to build the educa-
tional unit, and the Camphor Me-
mortal Methodist church, which
gave SIT, has just launched a
