Congress of the African Methodist
Church when it convenes here
August 3rd through August 5th on
the Campbell College campus.
This will mark the first occasion

places for the large number of
delegates expected to attend.
Rev. Gaines, in soliciting the aid
of the press yesterday, stated that
he would appreciate hearing from
any home owners in the city who
can provide lodging for any of
these delegates. He added that each
delegate will pay $1.50 per night
for his or her lodging. Persons able
to take a delegate are urged to
call 2-3273.
The youthful delegates who will
