3000 Members Expected
Christ’s Sanctified Holy Church
Prepares For Annual Camp Meet
By Maxine Thompson
About 300 members, in
cluding the Board and
General Conference of
Christ's Sanctified Holy
Church, gathered last
weekend at their cam
pground north of Perry to
plan for their annual camp
meeting to be held August 5
through August 13 this year.
preparations are being
made to accommodate 3,000
members from outside of
this area. Members come
from Delaware down
through the Southeastern
states to Louisiana. A dor
mitory on the ground will
accommodate 100 people,
and there are also 100 cabins
or cottages on the site. In
addition, members, fill
many motel rooms here.
A lot of physical labor is
going into the planning this
y ear. The Church is involved
in an expansion plan they
call their Decade of
Progress, the 1070's, and
while some paper work is
involved member-volunteers
are laying carpeting,
hanging wallpaper, doing
electrical and other work to
make their campground
Perryans Relax
On July Fourth
Old Glory flew and
Perryans had themselves a
relaxing and generally safe
Fourth of July here Tuesday.
Most stores were closed and
families spent the day
together here.
Fourth of July tem
peratures hit the traditional
high of about 98 degrees in
Perry and a ride around the
area revealed most
swimming pools and
swimming holes filled to
capacity by young and old
alike in an attempt to beat
the heat.
A Home Journal survey
revealed Wednesday mor
ning that most Perryans
stayed off the highways on
the holiday and enjoyed the
day at home or on the golf
course and many took the
day off for a family picnic.
All in all, it was a good
Fourth of July in Perry.
Nunn Will Oppose
Foreign Aid
If Elected Sen.
State Hep. Sam Nunn
pledged Wednesday as U.S.
Senator to vote against any
foreign aid expenditures that
cannot be "shown to me
clearly to be in the best in
terest of the United States."
Rep. Nunn in a Macon
Kiwanis speech pointed to
the foreign aid program as a
major factor in the national
debt of the United States.
“Every folly of which the
Washington bureaucracy is
capable is embodied in our
foreign giveaway," Nunn
said.
The 33 year old farmer
lawyer from Houston
County cited as "Poor
foreign investments" such
items as $20.4 million to
Albania. $43.7 million to
Cuba. $1.3 billion to Chile and
$8 billion to India.

facilities more comfortable
and more beautiful. The
church women prepare
meals, sew drapes and table
covers, and one lady even
hangs wallpaper.
Their original chapel,
which was converted into an
air-conditioned cafeteria,
has been brick-veneered,
and carpeting has been laid
in the big sitting room up
front with its huge fireplace
wall at one end where
members sometimes gather
around a blazing fire to sing.
The chapel, which was a
former conference hall, has
been remodeled. It is here
that funerals are held for
church members. Nearly all
members who die are buried
in the cemetery here at the
Church's national

Vandals tossed an object through this electric sign Tuesday night which is
under rental to Kevin Sumner, candidate for State Representative. The
company renting the signs is owned by Lowell Register of Perry and he could
not be reached for comment at press time. The incident marked the first time
in recent history that political candidate signs have been vandalized in Perry.
Sumner is in the race for State Rep. District 100 with Perry attorney Larry
Walker. No arrests had been made at press time for the vandalism but police
indicated they may have a lead in the case.

headquarters; for those who
are buried elsewhere there
are stone markers as
memorials.
The big, air conditioned
church has plenty of seating
space for members and
visitors, with space for 300 to
400 singers on the platform.
"We want to issue a special
invitation to the people of
Perry and this area to come
out to our evening worship
services," said Rev. Paul P.
Merritt of Augusta, Georgia,
a Bishop and spiritual head
of the Church. “We are a
part of this community and
have many friends here, and
would like to welcome them.
“Perhaps because of the
great number of our people
who come, local people feel
there would not be enough
room for them. That isn’t
true, and everyone is more
than welcome to come out
and worship with us.”
A unique feature of this
church is that they do not
take up collections at their
services. There members
support the church, but not
with public offerings.
Services each day during
the Camp Meeting will in
clude a 7:30 a.m. Prayer
Service; 10:30 a.m. Worship
Service; 3 p.m. Young
People’s Service; and 7:30
p.m. Evening Evangelistic
Service.
