Prefatory Notes
It would be impossible to give a complete description of the 58th
Assembly, but we are happy to present the official Minutes of the As
sembly in this booklet. The record of the business part of the Assem
bly is given in full, and we have included enough other information to
make this volume interesting and valuable. The messages were record
ed by the radio department for transcription, and portions of them have
been included. We are indebted to the staff of clerks whose faithful ef
forts have made possible this issue of the Minutes.
We are grateful because so many of our people were able to attend
the Assembly. The registrars secured the names and addresses of 13,137
delegates. &#5505128;e out-of-town registration numbered 10,724, and 2,413 came
&#6684786;om the city of Cleveland. &#5505128;e total registration shows an increase over
the number recorded for last year. &#5505128;e states were well-represented,
and we had delegates from Canada, Mexico, Bahamas, Bermuda, Central
America, several of the Caribbean Islands, England and India.
The newspapers, radio and television stations rendered a valuable serv
ice in reporting the activities of the Assembly. Several broadcasts orig
inated from the tabe&#7471214;acle, and various special features were heard through
&#7602280;e local stations in connection with the &#4259955;sembly. We appreciate the
interest shown by these news services, and we feel that this is a good
opportunity to let people know about the Church of God.
&#5505128;e c&#7274607;peration of the ushers, registrars, committee members and all
of those who attended the Assembly helped to make it successful. I would
like to express my appreciation to every individual who had any part
in &#7602280;e work of the Assembly. We want to thank the Lord for His pres
ence and the blessings that were received throughout the week. Our
souls were blessed by the fellowship of the saints, music and singing,
pray&#6619250;s, demonstrations, instructions, and wonderful messages delivered
by Church of God men and women as they were anointed by the
Holy Ghost. These blessings encouraged our hearts and continue to serve
as a source of s&#7602290;ength and inspiration as we begin another year of serv
ice to the Ch&#7667826;ch of God.
The time for the next annual feast, the General &#4259955;sembly of the Church
of God of &#5242994;ophecy, has been set for September 8-14, 1964, at Cleveland,
Tennessee.

9:25 a.m.-Exhortation on 1 Samuel 17:31-37 by E. G. (Jack) Wilson. The
speaker read the text and said, in part, "This little boy stood before Saul
to take the challenge to &#6684777;ght Goliath. To convince Saul that he was
able, he told how he went to this lion and took from his claws one of the
lambs. Paul said that grievous wolves would get among you, not spar
ing the flock. &#5505128;ere are more beastly powers than the mark of the beast.
People have thought that the A. B. M. is the police department of the
Church. &#5505128;is is the rescue mission. The reason we have lost so many
is because we have not been concerned about their soul. When the beastly
powers come against the flock of God, when the cloud of despondency
hangs over us, when the powers of temptation begin to come, that is
the time we need to take our stand against the devil. Too many peo
ple rejoice to see others fail. That is not the spirit of Christ. The spirit
of the Lord is to reach down in the time of discouragement and help
them out."
9:40 a.m.-The state secretaries came to the platform and prayed for
the program and for those who are as&#7602290;ay and in need of help in their
respective states. This was led by Ressie Mae Griffith.
9:45 a.m.-June and Jerry Sweatt sang "A Hero."
9:54 a.m.-D. D. Creasy gave a report of the Revivi&#6684777;cation Campaigns
held in Tennessee. He stated that &#6684777;ve campaigns had been conducted
and that as the Lord began to move and the spirit of this work of re
storing those who have gone astray settled on the people, a number of
backsliders had been won. He told of revivals that were conducted at
the close of some of the campaigns and of new people being won as a
resul t of these special services.
10:10 a.m.-Irene Jones and Florence Bell sang "Love Is Why."
10:15 a.m.-"The Basic Elements of Spirituality," by A. T. Griffin. A
portion of this message is given below:
"We could very well say, 'The Foundation Elements of Spirituality.'
Basic means fundamental. If you have spirituality in your heart and
life it is the result of some basic element. You have obtained something
that brought about spirituality. Spirituality is not based on a shout.
But for that shout to amount to anything, it has to come from a basic
source. 'But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gen
tleness, goodness, faith.' If we have the Spirit of God in our hearts and
lives, we will have the love of God. You may say that you love your
brother or sister, but the Spirit of God will manifest itself. We do not
have to put on a program of love. It just works automatically. The love
of God is a ba sic element of the Spirit of God. Love does not just go
to this brother and stop. It goes everywhere. The love of God will go
a long way in solving your problems. Jesus said that by this all men
would know if we have love one to another. Not if we shout a little. No t
if we ta&#7077995; about our neighbor a little. Without the Spirit of God you
have no love. You may have friendship or buddyship, but no fellowship.

12 MI&#5111893;TES OF THE 58TH A&#5111971;AL ASSEMBLY
"One of the basic elements is also joy. The Spirit of God will bring
joy into your life. With joy we draw water out of the wells of salvation.
Maybe joy is the bucket, but sometimes people lose the bucket. Some
times people determine spirituality by observation. They look at some
one shouting and jumping benches and determine him to be spiritual.
If you do not have the basic element in there, you will not walk right
on the other side of the bench. Before I was saved, I repented. Then
I went over and made things right with my brother. When I got every
thing &#6684777;xed up I got sancti&#6684777;ed. The old man Adam is gone when you
get sancti&#6684777;ed. When you get sancti&#6684777;ed, it brings about this great joy.
When you shout and praise the Lord with joy, you will know how to
live the life the next day."
10:35 a.m.-Alma Mccutchen sang "Have You Really Been a Friend?"
10:43 a.m.-Message by the General Secretary.
He read Matthew 23:23; 5:20, and the message was illustrated with post
ers emphasizing the eight woes that were pronounced on the scribes and
Pharisees. He pointed out that the scribes and Pharisees were profes
sors. They have been described by some writers as actors, or stage play
ers in religion.
The message continued with the reading of Isaiah 58:6-10, and Broth
er Griffith said, "You can't put out your soul without compassion. You
can't be a stage player. You can't be trained to do this; it must be a
part of you. I could give this dollar without compassion, but I cannot
put out my soul to the hungry without compassion. You can't be a
stage player and reach another soul. It must come from your inmost
being. A person could give a thousand dollars without compassion. You
can have a spiritual service and feel like taking the world for Christ,
but you can't reach a soul without compassion.
"You can outline a message and read it. You can be an actor or stage
player. &#5505128;ese people followed the example of their fathers. All some
ministers know is what some other minister taught them. All some min
isters know is what they have learned in school. If you aren't care
ful you will become an actor. You can't put on compassion like you put
on your coat. It doesn't start from the outside, it starts from the inside.
When you quit being an actor and comply with the Word of God, it
gets on the inside and works on the outside. It comes from the inside and
illuminates the outside.
"When you comply with the Word of God, you quit acting and put
out your soul. You quit playing religion, it becomes part of you. You
don't just say what doctor so-and-so said. You say it because the Spirit
inspired you. Our people can go to college when they want to. We can
do what other people do. All of those things are good in their &#6684777;eld.
We need education to put over certain educational programs, but re
member that education is always secondary. The thing that blesses me is
that our ministers who do have a college degree have the same spirit
that our others do. When you put education &#6684777;rst, you put yourself in
the wrong position. I want to rely on God. What I do, I want it to come
from the heart."
11:20 a.m.-Remarks on Galatians 6:1 by Herbert Ferguson. He stressed
the importance of spirituality and the spirit of meekness in reaching
those who have gone astray.

MINUTES OF THE 58TH A&#5111886;UAL ASSEMBLY 13
11:25 a.m.-"The Zeal of the Lord of Hosts Will Perform This," mes
sage by James Cooper. The speaker read John 2:14-17, and said, in part:
"They looked upon Him as any ordinary man, but the zeal of the Lord
of hosts was upon Him, and He walked in the midst of the temple and
used that whip with authority and with the zeal of the Lord of hosts.
We have people sowing different seeds by teaching something else be
sides what the Church of God preaches. It is going to take the zeal for
our ministers to deliver our people out of the hands of such doctrine.
It is going to take the zeal of the &#4980847;rd of hosts to get these people who
are falling away from the faith. It will take meekness and humility.
Sometimes those who have gone astray put up a big battle and say that
the pastor or overseer did not do right. We have to have enough zeal to
break down that element.
"If we don't have compassion, we will let them go astray. We must
have compassion and zeal to go after them. The Scripture speaks about
pulling them out of the &#6684777;re. The spiritual ones are supposed to have
enough of the zeal to go into the &#6684777;re and save them. We want to put
everything the Church teaches into practice. The zeal of the Lord of
hosts will help us perform this. Zeal will not let us sit down and take
a rest, but it will keep us moving."
11:40 a.m.-W. A. Newsom sang "I Met the Master."
11:58 a.m.-A demonstration entitled "Throw Out the Life Line" was pre
sented by Helen Hi&#7077996; and Margueretta Ca&#7077990;ee. One representing Jesus
told a minister that he had been placed in the Ch&#7667826;ch to feed the sheep.
Various &#6881390;dividuals came and told the Church they were leaving be
cause they were discouraged, strayed, backslidden and more interested
in the things of the world than the things of the Lord. As these left,
they pinned black paper, representing spots, on the bridal gown worn by
the Church. The minister could not rescue the strays alone, but when
those representing able band leaders came to help him, they were suc
cessful in pulling in the life lines. A crown was presented to the min
ister, and the black spots were removed as the group sang "When the
Church of God Arises."
12:10 p.m.-Presentation of awards:
The states were grouped according to membe&#7471219;hip, and the state sec

12:15 p.m.-The service was dismissed with prayer by Violet Snyder and
Rebecca Griffin.
Harrison E. Price directed a program of music and singing during the
intermission.
1:15 p.m.-C. P. M. A. program directed by Charles S. Pennington, Gen
eral Secretary.
1:18 p.m.-Roy D. Mixon and Les&#7077993;e Porter led the song service with
Je&#7209070;a &#4259948;len at the organ and Helen Cooley at the piano. C. G. Herring

offered by Norman J. Scotton, and this was followed by a concert prayer
led by the state overseers and C. P. M. A. secretaries. Wilce Litton led
the congregation in singing the C. P. M. A. theme song, "&#5505128;e Vision in
Song."
1:38 p.m.-Kenneth Cooley gave a report of the state-wide C. P. M. A.
convention in Oklahoma. He told of the desire that he had to see the
state one hundred per cent in C. P .. M. A. membership since he was ap
pointed state secretary in 1956. He was inspired to conduct a C. P. M. A.
convention, and it was in this convention that the Lord prompted one
of the sisters in the state to make it possible for the state to be one hun
dred per cent. Brother Cooley felt that the convention was a blessing
to the state, and he was happy because the Lord made it possible for
every member in the state to be a member of the C. P. M. A.
1:46 p.m.-Pecolia Headen sang "The Church of God Is Real," and lit
tle Jackie Bryant sang "A Child of the King."
1:56 p.m.-&#4522092;wood Mat&#7602280;ews gave an account of the &#6684777;rst anniversary
service conducted at the Church Foundation Memorial on Mt. Hittin in
Israel.
He told how &#7602280;at it had been his desire &#6684786;om the time he became a
Christian to visit Jerusalem and the Holy Land. "On May 26 my wife,
Brother and Sister Tibke, and I left New York City for London. Brother
Plummer, C. P. M. A. secretary for England, went with us from there.
We went to Rome and saw some of the points of Biblical interest. We
went to Athens, Greece, and met with &#7602280;e saints there. On to Cairo,
Egypt, and from there we went to Jordan and on into the city of Jeru
salem. We saw &#7602280;e place where Jesus was buried, and to you who have
never been there, let me te&#7077996; you that He is no longer in the tomb! We
saw the place where He ascended to the Father. He went back all right
because He sent the Comforter in His stead.

MINUTES OF THE 58TH ANNUAL ASSEMBLY 15
"Finally the day came when we were to go to the place where Jesus
Christ had called unto Him the twelve apostles and ordained them. On
the right we could see the Sea of Galilee near where He had cast out
the legion of devils. Slightly behind us and to the left was the place
where &#7602280;e Lord had been trans&#6684777;gured before the eyes of Peter, James
and John. We were drawing closer, and we looked above us and there
was a white flag and beside it was a red banner. One was the flag of
Israel, and the other was the all nations flag.
"At last we were there. After a few minutes of talking and visiting
among ourselves, we started our service. This was the &#6684777;rst service since
the marker had been dedicated. When the forty went, they were all
from America, but this time we were fortunate to have someone from
another country. Three countries were represented. We started with
prayer by Brother Tibke. &#5701736;en he &#6684777;nished, we sang 'Everybody Ought
to Know Who Jesus Is.' &#5505128;en we sang 'Everybody Ought to Know &#5701736;o
the Church of God Is.' We had testimonies and Brother Pl&#7667821;mer from
England spoke. My wife sang 'A Stranger of Galilee.' Then we talked
about the work of Brother Wilson, Brother Moore, and the part Broth-
er Pennington had in this.
"It seemed that the presence of God just settled down in our mids&#2949409;
&#6684777;ve Christian people who believed that Jesus Christ was the Son of
God and two men who did not believe that He was. I looked over at o&#7667826;
guide, and it looked like there were tears in his eyes. He said he had
learned more about the Bible that day than he had in all his life. We
prayed and worshipped Christ and gave Him the glory that we could
know about this Church. One day He is coming back again to present
it to Himself without spot or wrinkle or any such thing. It has been
a thrill to me all year. It was the greatest thrill of my life."
2:15 p.m.-"The Necessity of Being One Hundred Per Cent in C. P.
M. A. Membership" by Leslie Porter. He stated that Mississippi has
1,357 members of the Church and 1,423 C. P. M. A. members. &#5505128;e speak
er referred to Habakkuk 2:2 and stated that we will never be able to
make the world see the Church until our own members understand it
and see the necessity of practicing a&#7077996; of the teachings of the Church one
hundred per cent. He displayed zeal and enthusiasm for the work of
the C. P. M. A. and expressed his appreciation for what had been done
in this depar&#7602285;ent in Mississippi as well as the other states.
2:30 p.m.-The Shepherds Quartet sang "What A Day.''
2:35 p.m.-Brother Pennington stated that C. R. Payne was the &#6684777;rst
member of the C. P. M. A. in 1941. A. J. Tomlinson was the second
member, and L. A. Moxley, the third. Sister Goins, who was a member
the &#6684777;rst year, and has been a member each year since then, came to
the platform and testi&#6684777;ed. Brother Pennington introduced his dau&#6750312;ter,
Sharon, and reported that she had been a member since the day she was
bo&#7471214;.
2:40 p.m.-"The Honor Stones Are an Evidence," message by Roy D.
Mixon. A portion of the message is given below:
"&#5505128;e honor stones are the evidence &#7602280;at the churches are measuring
up to the present stand&#6357106;d. All the auxiliaries must be organized and
operating. &#5505128;e pastor must have the correct name and address of each
member. The church should conduct regular business meetings and ob-

16 MINUTES OF THE 58TH ANNUAL ASSEMBLY
serve the Lord's Supper and feet washing. The clerk must report each
month. If one or more of the members have not been backslidden over
twelve months, the church can still receive or retain a gray honor stone.
"The early church kept the decrees that were delivered to them. Be
cause of this they were established in the faith and increased in num
ber daily. The only way we can see our churches increase in number
daily is to measure up to the requirements that have been handed down
to us by the General Assembly. When we walk by the same rule, it
means regulations and requirements, teachings and doctrines that have
been established and passed down to us by the General Assembly. &#5505128;e
time is coming when every church in the entire movement will walk by
the same rule and mind the same thing. Every child of God will be a
good, balanced member of the Church. When we are walking by the
same rule and minding the same thing, other people are going to catch
the vision of the Church of God.
"Some people have their own idea and opinion of how the pro&#6750322;am
of God should be manifested. The Bible says that the manifold wis
dom of God was given to the Church. God knows how to operate His
program. He knows how to reach other children of God. He knows how
to hasten the message. When we put into operation the program God
has outlined, we will see it go into all the world. Our work today is to
make all men see the fellowship of the mystery and hasten the day
when all God's children will be gathered together in one fold."
2:55 p.m.-The H. E. Smith Family sang "Where Will I Shelter My
Sheep Tonight?"
2:58 p.m.-Visual Department Introductory by Jack C. Decker, Director.
He quoted from the General Overseer's Annual Address to the Assem
bly in 1949 and expressed his appreciation to those who have made pos
sible the accomplishments of the Visual Department in its thirteen years
of operation. He introduced Mazine Bell, administrative assistant; Verlin
Tho&#7471214;ton, bookkeeper; Olen Fiveash, sound engineer; and Frank Pohlner,
&#6684777;lm distributor. By each employee being trained to do several tech
nical jobs, &#7602280;e &#6684777;lms are produced at far less expense than would be re
quired if they were sent to other laboratories. Sixty different &#6684777;lms are
available in the lending library. He explained that Scepter Films has
been adopted to designate the commercial operation within the Visual
Department. Various individuals spoke concerning the use of projected
visual aids.
Robert F. Wright said, "It is just a natural thing that our minds put
into visual mean&#6881390;gs what we hear. When we read something or hear
something, we just naturally make mental pictures about what we have
heard or read. Visual things leave the greatest impression. The Chinese
have said, 'One picture is worth a thousand words.' The eye is the win
dow of the brain. It is the way in which the brain receives its great
est number of impressions. What we see with our eye conveys such a
sharpness that no amount of words can match it. Someone recently said
that we need a 'mucilage' in our message. That is what makes it stick.
The way we can put mucilage in our message is to present it in a visual
way.
"In a general sense visual aids are Biblical. The Lord used visual aids
in His ministry. He took the child and put it on His lap and said that
except a man become as humble as a little child, he ca&#7209070;ot enter into

MI&#5111893;TES OF THE 58TH A&#5111971;&#4259916; ASSE&#5046338;LY 17
the kingdom of heaven .. There He had a great visual presentatip&#7209018;, us
ing material that He had at· hand. &#5505128;e Church has one of the most gi-
gantic visual aids in &#7602280;e world, and that is Fields of the Wood.
.
"When· we see things we have a &#6750322;eater tendency . to believe· them.
We cannot believe really until we have seen something. Where seeing
and hearing are effectively combine d in audio-vision, the effect is multi
plied. Projected visual aids clarify words and ideas and aid us in un
derstanding the truths of the gospel. I remember reading about a Sun
day School class where the teacher asked one of the students why the
se&#7733306;en deacons were chosen. She said they were chosen to take care of
the windows and • organs. The child had a wrong visual impression of
why deaco&#7209075; were chosen. Visual aids speed learning and help to make
it permanent. That is where the mucilage comes in. It is said that we
remember &#6684777;ve times more of what we see than what we hear. Visual
aids gain and hold attention. M&#6357102;y times the teachers have trouble get
ting the atten&#7602281;on of their students, but they won't if &#7602280;ey have visual
aids. &#5505128;ey make• teaching interesting and exciting because they add
variety to the teaching program. The experience of our public schools
and the military services has proven that they can teach more quickly
and more thoroughly with pictures. There are several kinds of projected
visual aids such as movies, slides and &#6684777;lm s&#7602290;ips. We see things on
television which are audio-&#7733353;sual in nature. Over a period of time we
are conditioned to audio-visual presentation. &#4784238; fact, the whole world
is
·
conditioned to it. &#5505128;erefore, it is the thing we must use if we are go
ing to compete with the clamoring voices of the world."
Dorothy Creel told of the effectiveness of the use of visual aids in the
S&#7667822;day School and youth work in the state of Michigan. Kenneth Cooley
report&#6619236; that he had used &#6684777;lms effectively in his work as state C. P.
M .. A. secretary in Oklahoma as well as in evangelistic work. Allen Davis
expressed h&#6881395; appreciation of the fact that .the Visual Depar&#7602285;ent had
been able to secure materials for use in the Sunday School workshops.
He stated that a &#7602290;aining &#6684777;lm enti&#7602284;ed "Some Methods of Successful Teach
ing" will be released by the Visual Depar&#7602285;ent in the near future.
3:35 p.m.-A group from Califo&#7209179;a sang in Spanish, "Jesus Is the One."
3:40 p.m . &#12058894;. W. McDill, Manager of Fields of the Wood, spoke brief
ly _ conc&#14352705;g &#7602280;e pro&#6750322;ess that has been m&#6357050;de there this year. Due to
the· severe winter, it was necessary to do repair work on several of the
markers. Work has been done around the cross and the baptismal pool.
It was necessary to overcome several difficulties and delays in &#7602280;e er&#6619235;.
tion • of the memorial marker where the Holy Ghost fell, but by the help
of . the Lord, . the marker was • ready for dedication at the proper time.
Additional equipment has been purchased this year, and Brother McDill
stated that he felt there had been more visitors this year than ·any year
he·,had been there. He encouraged everyone to work for the advance
ment of Fields of the Wood as a mea&#7209075; of pointing the lost to Christ.
3:45 p.m.-&#5505128;e Crown Spiritual Singers sang "How Did you Feel When
You Came Out of the Wilde&#7471214;ess?"
3:50 p.m.-Message by C. S. Pennington. A portion of the message is
giv&#6619246; below:
"Last year during &#7602280;e Ass&#6619245;bly somebody got &#7602280;e zeal to mark the place
where &#7602280;e Holy Ghost &#6684777;rst fe&#7077996;. Soon after the Assembly we decided
to see about &#7602280;e possibilities. On my way &#6881390;to Los Angeles, I t&#7274607;k sick &#6357102;d

18 MINUTES OF THE 58TH AN&#5111893;AL ASSE&#5046338;LY
had to discontinue my journey. I was disturbed. because I did not get
to reach the state of California and &#6684777;nd out more about this marker.
&#4259942;ter lying on my back thinking, praying, and studying all the material
I could get about the falling of the Holy Ghost, I found that the records
show that in North Carolina in· Cherokee County in 1896 a great re
vival began in the Schearer Schoolhouse. They soon moved to the lit
tle log church , across the road and the revival continued. Brother A. J.
Tomlinson mentioned in his writing that over one hundred people re
ceived the Holy Ghost in that revival. We found that the Holy Ghost
did not fall in Ca&#7077993;fornia until 1906. The records show that the &#6684777;rst
major outpouring happened here in North Carolina. We began to search
into this, and with the aid of Brother J. R. Kinser, Brother Tomlinson
and others, we decided that this was undoubtedly the spot.
"Jesus never tried to preach something just out of the world. He
tried to make it simple so that He could bless the people. He preached
about the b&#6881394;ds of the air and the lilies of the &#6684777;eld. He brought every
thing in a simple form so that it was not over man's head. In the C. P. M.A.
today we need to be on a level ground so that we can stand on some
thing that will not be up today and gone tomorrow. 'Arise, shine; for
thy light is come, and the glory of the Lord is risen upon thee.' Did
you ever stop to think that we are not living in a dark, dreary age? We
are living in an age where the light of God's Word is all around us. There
are a lot of things that we do not thoroughly understand, but this is not
a dark age. This is the day of light. We are living in a day when the
Bible is being ful&#6684777;lled. We are living in a day that we are begi&#7209070;ing to
mark Biblical places of interest throughout the world. Marking is not
enough. We must have the spirit along with the marking or else we will not
entice the people to see what it is all about. A man stood up in the con
gregation and told how he had become a member of the Church because
he had visited Fields of the Wood. He said, 'Brother Pennington, it was
not that stone nor the words on it, but it was the spirit of the thing that
I felt there that caused me to become a member of the Church.' We
can write messages on all types of billboards, but unless there is a spir
it behind the message, it is no good.
"Sometimes people feel like Jacob did when he was out there with his
head on a stone and he said the Lord was in that place and he knew
it not. Sometimes we are going to have to be shaken to the place that
we know the Lord is in this. When you get the spirit of this, you will
want to be a part of everything in the Church of God. We are reach
ing out there to get a hold of the heart and mind of somebody some
where so they can enjoy the blessings that you and I enjoy. I have b&#6619237;n
asked if we have any records to show that anyone has been brought to
the Lord through Fields of the Wood. Yes, sir. We had one taken in the
Church in Fields of the Wood yesterday.
"I look at the Scripture and think of the time that people are going
. to come and what is going to happen when the glory of the Lord is risen
upon us. We have a program to attract people of every walk of life.
People will go and watch a picture that would never darken the door to
hear a minister preach. No matter how much advertisement you put
out you can hardly get your house &#6684777;lled, but if you tell them they are
going to see something with the natural eye, they will come. People
are at&#7602290;acted to Fields of the Wood from all walks of life. Brother Tom
linson told me that we had someone from Athens, Greece, to visit there.
They asked Brother McDill how to get in touch with the overseer in
Greece.

MINUTES OF THE 58TH ANNUAL ASSEMBLY 19
"In our airplane pro&#6750322;am at Sturgis, Kentucky, two years ago, our dis
trict overseer had tried to get permission to drop tracts, but they turned
us down. They said the ordinance was against it. Then I found out who
the mayor was, and he was an air-minded man. I went to see him. He
said, 'What are you planning to do?' I told him that we wanted to fly
seven planes over the city and drop some tracts. I showed him the tracts.
He said, 'Brother Pe&#7209070;ington, go ahead. Tell the Chief of Police that

our program you could walk down any street in Sturgis and pick up
tracts. The city council called the mayor in and asked him to resign.
He gladly resigned, but three days later the council met again and called
him back to continue his work, and he is still the mayor of Sturgis, Ken
tucky. God has a plan, but the thing we want to do is to get right in
the will of God and follow the plan.

A. J. Tom&#7077993;nson concerning the use of the airplane i&#6881388; the work of the
Church. G. A. Wilson, Overseer of North Carolina, reported that they
had successfully installed a speaker in their state plane. As he spoke
the plane flew overhead and the speaker could be heard by those in the
street below. John A. Stubbs spoke enthusiastically about the u"se of the
airplane to promote the activities of the Church of God.
A pro&#6750322;am of music and singing during &#7602280;e intermission was directed

6:37 p.m. -The General Overseer read several r e q u es t s and op
portunity was given for those in the con&#6750322;egation to make known their
requests. The congregation stood and prayed in concert for the requests,
for the evening service and for the state marches on Thursday.
6:40 p.m.-"&#4456559;ing My Duty Wi&#7602280; &#4980847;ve" was the subject of -the mes
sage by Charles C. Lanter. A portion of his message is given below:
"After we learn what our duty is then we must lea&#7471214; to perform that
duty wi&#7602280; love. The world does not understand how we perform some
of our duties, but we do it with love. A father might not could say
he enjoys working, but since he knows he has a duty to perform for
his family, he will work and toil without complaining. He knows he has
a duty to perform. As children of God, especially as ministers, we have
a duty to perform. &#5505128;e key to successful work for God is love. We
must love God. We must love our neighbor as ourself. When we have
this love burning and bubbling inside, it gives us zeal to win lost • souls.
"When Satan came before the Lord, the Lord asked if he had con
sidered his servant Job, an upright and perfect man. Satan· said, 'You
have a fence a&#6881338;ound him. You have increased everything that he has put
his hand to. &#5505128;at is why he is serving you.' But God knew His serv
ant. If we live close to God He has a wall built around us and Satan
cannot destroy us. God would not · respect Job any more than He would
any of us. Sometimes people may fail God. It mi&#6750312;t be that they have
gotten out from behind the wall of the Lord. All of Job's cattle were
ki&#7077996;ed, and the house blew over and killed his sons. Job did not turn
his back on God.· But after God had with&#6553714;a&#7798894; the wall' of protec
tion, Job decided &#7602280;at he loved God so much he would serve Him any
way. In all of this Job sinned not, nor charged God foolishly. Job could
not &#6684777;nd any fault with God.
"Sometimes sons and daughters t&#7471331; out bad, but it does not kill the
love or &#7602280;e duty of that mother. She will go down and visit her son
behind bars. No matter what kind of crime he has committed, she knows
it is her duty and responsibility.

"When they took Jesus and brought Him into the high priest's house,
Peter f&#4390951;llowed afar off. Just before this Peter followed Christ very
closely. &#5701736;en they came to take Jesus, he walked right by his · side.
But something happened. This man who loved the Lord' so much later
cursed and swore that he didn't even know Him. He got • away from
the Lord. We must walk close to the Lord to know that we are in fel
lowship with Him. We ca&#7209070;ot s&#6619237; Jesus, but we can walk so close by
Him that we can feel Him. Perhaps you heard about the trapped miners
in Hazelton, Pennsylvania. Experts, engineers' and other people with all
kinds of equipment came to rescue them. No one was conce&#7471214;ed about

22 MINUTES OF T&#4718661; 58TH ANNUAL ASSE&#5046338;LY
how much he was to be paid. &#5505128;ey felt it their duty to rescue these
men. It is our duty to go to the dying world and rescue lost souls. It
is not a question of how much glory we will receive out of it. When a
soul is lost and dying without God, it is our responsibility to pitch in
and rescue that soul for God. We sing about when we get to heaven
and see the souls that we have helped to win. It looks like it ought to
be the aim and desire of every person to win somebody to Jesus. If all
of us take the responsibility of our duty with love and go forth and per
form that duty, there is nothing that is impossible."
7:03 p.m.-The Gospel Chariots, directed by George Knowles, sang "If

at the piano and Verona Mae Thompson at the organ. &#5505128;is was a pow
erful song service and the saints shouted and rejoiced as they sang. The

and congregation together gave three notes of praise to the Lord. Benjamin
Lawrence read Romans 8:1-9 . Requests for prayer were given, and John
C. Newkirt prayed at the pulpit. At the close of his prayer, the congre-
gation joined in a mighty concert prayer.
7:46 p.m.-The congregation stood and waved flags • as they sang the
"Church of God Flag Song" led by William Akers.
7:52 p.m.-The subject of the message by Don B. &#5505128;omas was "Dis
play the Church of God Flag."
The .speaker stressed the thought that the flag was given by the Holy
Ghost and read an account of the dedication of the flag from the Minutes
of the Assembly in 1933.
"The former General Overseer in 1933 in his annual address said, 'For
more than ten years I have been contemplating suggesting a flag for
the Church of God·.' Ten years before he brought this flag before the
General Assembly the Holy Ghost had been moving upon him in that
time of crisis. The Lord made him to feel that it was time to take the
flag and fly it in the breeze and put it up in the top of the mountain.
Isn't it wonderful to have something in your hand that the Holy Ghost
has given to you? I don't know the conditions around the world, but I
feel sure that in every place where we have a church established there
is an ensign displayed in that country.
" 'Thou hast given a banner to them that fear thee, that it may be
displayed because of the truth.' Many people are critical and say that
was only the flag of Israel, that it was the flag of that day because it said,
'Thou hast given.' We also remember that David said, 'They pierced
my hands and my feet.' -That had not happened when he wrote it. Isaiah
said, 'By his stripes we are healed,' but He had never been smitten when
Isaiah wrote those wo&#7864364;ds. There is a fear that makes us do service for
God. That is the fear that attracted the attention of heaven in 1933.
The fear and zeal to take the gospel throughout the world was in the
Church. I don't suppose there ever has been a time when the Church
has spread into more states than it did in the early thirties. There never
was a time seemingly when the b&#7471331;ing zeal of God was upon the min
isters of the Church of God to• go to the states &#6750322;eater &#7602280;an it was about
the time the Lord gave the banner to them that fear Him.

M&#5111966;TES OF T&#4718661; 58TH ANNUAL ASSE&#5046338;LY 23
"It did not say display it for fear alone but because of the truth. It
looks like in some places that criticism has taken down our flag poles.
G&#7274596; does not want us to give in to criticism, but He wants us to put the
flag on display. There are people here who have never known what
it would be to go to church and see the flag waving at their church.
&#5505128;ey have never known the thrill of driving up on Sunday mo&#7471214;ing and
seeing the flag flying and have the Holy Ghost move on them as they
look upon the flag. The Holy Ghost gave us this that we might put it
on display. The Lord gave us, the Church of God, this ensign b&#6619235;ause
we feared Him. It was thirty years before we received the flag, and
now it has been thirty years that we have had it.
"Our present General Overseer quoted this Scripture to us several years
ago: 'And he will lift up an ensign to the nations from far, and will hiss
unto them from the end of the earth: and, behold, they shall come with
speed swiftly.' He is already hissing. In 1933, I believe we had ap
proximately &#6684777;ve other countries that the Church was established in. In
the past thirty years, we have gone into almost &#6684777;fty countries. We
need to be stirred a little conce&#7471214;ing displaying this wonderful flag. P&#6619247;
ple use different programs, but they are using them • and leaving off
the Holy Ghost program that was given us thirty years ago. In 1934 our
General Overseer became disturbed. He felt moved on by God to have
some flag displays. He believed we should place a flag on the graves
of our Church of God people who have gone on to be with the Lord.
He also suggested that every home have a flag displayed. I wonder if
all of us have our flags flying in our windows or in our cars. Are we
displaying the thing the Holy Ghost gave us? &#5505128;e General Overseer
also said that he would desire that we fly our flag at &#7602280;e local churches
on the days that we have special services in Fields of the Wood and that
the flag be flown at half mast when one of our members dies. The Lord
did _ not mean for us to hide the banner in the pulpit or lay it around
somewhere, but he meant for it to be on a pole. If we don't have it dis&#3014715;
played, the Holy Ghost wants us to do some&#7602280;ing about it.
"You say that people won't understand. Remember that it takes the
Holy Ghost to bring them, and the same Holy Ghost gave us the ban
ner and told us to put it on display. We should put on a campaign to
see that there is a flag in every Church of God home arid a flag. pole
at every local church so they can fly the flag. The flag pole is not much
good unless the glorious flag is flying."
8:19 p.m.-The delegation from Michigan presented a flag demonstra
tion directed by Dorothy Creel. This was very impressive as Ann Rickard,
representing the Church, sang "The Royal Banner" and seven boys and
seven girls, wearing sashes with the colors of the flag, performed the
drill. At the last the entire group sang "I Have Christ in My Heart" and
"V Is for Victory."
8:30 p.m.-Several selections were presented by the Billy Wade Sing
ers -from Cleveland, Ohio, and the Specializers from Raleigh, North Caro
lina.
9:49 p.m.-Message by E. L . &#3014730;ones, "Building on a Good Foundation."
The message, in part, is given below:
"&#5505128;ere is a lot of building going on in the world today. Likewise, we
are in a great building program. There used to be a time that if we
were owners of property or land and we decided to build, we could build

24 MINUTES OF T&#4718661; 58TH A&#5111971;AL ASSE&#5046338;LY
just the way we wanted to. That has changed. now, especially. in &#7143482;ost
of our cities. First of all, if you are anticipating building, you -have to
get a permit. Your plans are c&#6357106;efully examined by those in authority,
and the inspector will tell you what the city requires. -If you expect your
building to pass inspection, you will have to go by .that. --&#5505128;ere • are
times when they will let you go so far and they will come and look at-it.
They have the authority to inspect the footing, which is very important
to your own g&#7274607;d. It must have a certain amount of materials in it -if
it is to adequately support your building. These things help us, and &#7602280;ey
help &#7602280;e looks of our city. If man can be .that strict about building, how
about God?
"It is the same in &#7602280;e natural building as it is in• the Church of God
bu&#6881388;ding. Jesus talked about a footing. or a rock, something solid that
will adequately support the Church of God. No doubt you have seen
buildings, and it seemed that everything was just in order except for a
long crack &#7602280;at came all the way down to the footing. Do you &#7012462;ow
what caused that? An inadequate -footing. Jesus is talking· about the
rock and in preparation for this, He asked His disciples two questions:
'Whom do men say &#7602280;at I the Son of man am?' and 'But whom say ye
that I am?' Simon said, 'Thou art the Christ, &#7602280;e Son of the living God.'
In re&#15073507; Jesus said, 'Flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto &#7602280;ee,
but my Fa&#7602280;er which is in heaven/ We appreciate flesh and blood, espe
cially &#7602280;ose who have helped to - lead us into &#7602280;e Church. My mother
never taught me anyth&#6881390;g but Church -of God. I appreciate everybody
who has tau&#6750312;t me Church of God, but tonight, I stand on something
a little more solid than what ·my mother and others have taught me.
"&#5505128;e Church is on &#7602280;at· good solid f&#7274607;ting.· On &#7602280;is footing came the
foundation. &#4259942;ter the rock was securely laid, then came the foundation.
Peter said that prophecies came not in old times by the will of men,
but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost. ·God
moved upon the prophets ,and they began to prophesy concerning &#7602280;is
house. &#5505128;e foundation included the prophets and &#7602280;e apostles. &#5505128;e foot
ing has been laid; the foundation has been completed. Now it is time
to go up with the building. �ow many of you feel like you have some
&#7602280;ing to do to &#6684777;nish the building? l am not wo&#7471218;ying about the r&#7274595;k
or the foundation, but it is a fact that I am included in the building, and
l want to &#6881492;d my place and build according to the blueprint. &#5505128;ose
people who were engaged in that great building pro&#6750322;am in the Shinar
plain had unity and spoke. &#7602280;e same language, but they did not have a
pe&#7471213;it. -&#5505128;e One who had authority obtained the permit for our build-
ing, and He is still the chief architect.
"While , God looks at us collectively and biesses us, He still iooks ai
us individually. We are brought together and have made up ·the Church,
but you will always be an individual within yourself. Let every man
take heed how he builde&#7602280; thereon. You will have to give account-of
your stewardship in the Church of God ... I believe the lively, stones had
reference to us individually. I can preach brick work. This sign said,
'A piece in the wall.' Some of the bricks are small and some large. Do
you know what that bricklayer'. did? He has a -piece. in the wall. -He
didn't know what he was doing. If he had .laid the -bottom out right,
it would have been right all the way up &#7602280;e -wall. You are supposed
to get all of that out while you are, down low. If_ you .don't get it out;-it
won't give you trouble on· the &#6881496;st: course, it will. give you trouble on

&#14352731;g to &#6684777;nd my place in the Church now. By the way we treat the
Church, the way we live, we are sending up timber every day.
"I lea&#7471214;ed a nursery rhyme about three little pigs. The &#6684777;rst one grabbed
the &#6684777;rst thing he could &#6684823;nd, which was s&#7602290;aw. He built his house and
along came the wolf. Just a couple of puffs and that was all there was
to it. The second little pig got some sticks and built a house. Here
came the wolf, and his house came down a&#3014879;o. The &#7602280;ird started his
house, and I suppose they stood around and said he would never. get
it &#6684777;nished and that he was spending too much time on the footings and
foundation. Finally, he reached the top of his building and moved in.
The old wolf steppe d up to the door and huffed and puffed, but the house
stayed intact. &#5505128;e Church is going to be completed, but how about your
work? The day of inspection is coming."
9:43 p.m.-At the close of his message, Brother Jones gave the altar
invitation as the Specializers sang "Jesus Will Hear Your Prayer." Sev
eral came forward to seek the Lord, and the record shows that one was
saved, one sancti&#6684777;ed, and sixteen baptized with the Holy Ghost.

of Living Wat&#6619250;). She said, 'I Will Go.' " Message by L. S. Rhodes. A
portion of &#7602280;e message follows.

MINUTES OF T&#4718661; 58TH AN&#5111893;AL ASSE&#5046338;LY 33
"'And when he is come, he will reprove the world of sin, and of
righteousness, and of judgment ... Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth
is come.' 'And they called Rebekah, and said unto her, Wilt thou go
with this man?' Jesus said, 'He that believeth on me, as the scripture
hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water.' Rebecca,
the type of the Church, is here. The servant, the type of the Holy Ghost,
is here. '&#4259950;d they said, We will call the damsel, and enquire at her
mouth.' They called Rebecca and asked her if she would go. 'And she
said, I will go.' Rebecca, the type of the Church, said, 'I will go.' How
many of you are willing to go with the Holy Ghost? Are we willing to
be led, governed and controlled by the Holy Ghost? The Church said
to the Holy Ghost, 'I will go.' &#5505128;e Bible said that the servant took Re
becca and went his way. What did Rebecca do? She followed the man.
If you follow the Holy Ghost and let him lead you, you will be a loyal
member.
"Why go with him? What can he do for the Church? He will guide
you into all truth. He shall teach the Church all things. He searcheth
all things, yea, the deep things. He will bring all things to your remem
brance. There is nothing too deep for the Holy Ghost. Do you have
confidence in your Holy Ghost? Jesus said, 'He that believeth on me,
as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living
water.' When you quit believing, you lose con&#6684777;dence in the Holy Ghost.
We are in need of rivers of living water. It is no trouble to water your
garden when you have plenty of water. If you have rivers of living
water, you sure could water your garden. Paul said that he planted
and Apollos watered, but God gave the increase. If there is no increase
in the local church, you had better examine the water bucket. How is
your garden, pastors? Have you had an increase this year?
"There is a spirit in man, but the inspiration of the Almighty giveth
him understanding. Jesus said, 'Even the Spirit of t&#7471221;th; whom the world
cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye
know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you.' It is the Spir
it of truth that the world cannot receive. A sinner man under con
viction cannot receive the Holy Ghost. When the servant, the type of the
Holy Ghost came, he asked if there were room in the father's house
for them to lodge. Rebecca's brother went out to the se&#7471222;ant and said,
'Come in, for I have prepared my house.' If you want the Holy Ghost
to come in, prepare the house. Paul said that your body is the temple
of the living God. If we could only realize who is on the inside. That
is the man who led Rebecca. Is he in your temple?" Brother Rhodes
called for the congregation to stand and thank the Lord for the Holy
Ghost. At the close of the message, the General Overseer asked those
present to pray a sincere prayer for the Holy Ghost to have his way in the
service.
10:21 a.m.-Wanda Edwards sang "His Name Is Wonderful."
10:25 a.m.-In preparation for the General Overseer's Annual Address
several brethren came to the platform and held the flags of the United

and to the Bible: "I pledge allegiance to the Bible, God's Holy Word, and
will make it a lamp unto my feet, a light unto my path and will hide
its words in my heart that I may not sin against God.''

lnt&#7471149;oducto&#7471149;y
&#4259955; we are gathered here today in &#7602280;is vast Assembly, we are the
Church of God, the Body of Christ, charged wi&#7602280; the responsibility of
&#6684777;nish&#6881390;g the work that has been given us to do in preparation for &#7602280;e
coming of &#7602280;e Lord. The full realization of this fact may have a dif
ferent effect on each of us. For some, it brings a shout of joy because
we have been chosen for a part on God's program, called out by Him to
be His servants, and placed in the Body as it pleased Him. To others, it
may bring a feeling of humble gratitude for the special blessings that
the Church of God has brought to our lives. Still others are impressed
with the magnitude of the task that lies before us and our hearts cry out
for the &#6750322;ace of God and for His assistance that will enable us to com
plete the work.
Regar&#6553708;ess of our reaction as individuals, the fact remains that we are
the Church of God of the Bible. If we were a man-made organization, we
would be &#6684786;ee to carry on any program that we might choose. But the
Church of God must carry on the program of God. If we were not the
Church of God, we would be free to operate according to any plan of
action that appealed to us. But we are the Church of God, and we must
operate according to God's plan. &#5505128;is plan is found in the New Testa
ment. When we became members of the Ch&#7667826;ch, we agreed to accept the
Bible as the Word ·of God, with the New Testament as our only rule of
faith, practice, government and discipline. This is what is required of us
today-no&#7602280;ing more, and certainly nothing less.
From the beginning, we have emphasized &#7602280;e teaching that there is
one body. Jesus said, "There shall be one fold, and one shepherd." &#5505128;is
fold is the Church of God. His plan is to bring all the sheep into this
one fold. He died on &#7602280;e cross that He might gather toge&#7602280;er in one

MINUTES OF THE 58TH ANNUAL ASSE&#5046338;LY 35
the children of G&#7274596; &#7602280;at were scattered abroad; and according to Acts
20:28, He purchased the Church of God with His blood. From the Scrip
ture it is clear that the Church of God is the place where He will gather
His children from every nation under heaven. He commissioned the Church
to "teach all nations," and we are an all nations church. Not because I
say it, but because the Word of God clearly teaches that the Body of
Christ is for all nations. This is God's plan. We would not want to change
it, and we could not even if we wanted to.
During the many hundreds of years before the birth of Christ, the
Jews developed a feeling of superiority because of their favored posi
tion as God's chosen people, and for its &#6684777;rst few years the early church
was a predominantly Jewish church. As far as we know the disciples
were Jews, and the majority of the members were Jews. Many Jewish
customs and traditions existed in the minds of these members. &#5701736;en
Jesus spoke to the woman of Samaria at the well, she was amazed and
said, "How is it &#7602280;at thou, being a Jew, askest drink of me, which am
a woman of Samaria? for the Jews have no dealings with the Samaritans."
&#5505128;e disciples returned and saw Jesus talking with the Samaritan, and
they, too, "marvelled that he talked with the woman," but they did not
question Him about His actions. According to the Scripture, He stayed
in that area two days teaching and preaching to the people of Samaria.
On the day of Pentecost the Holy Ghost was poured out o&#7471209; the Church
which was "all Galileans," and Peter boldly rose up to preach and ad
dressed the congregation as "men of Judea" and "men of Israel." But
when he received the vision at Joppa to preach the same message to
Gentiles, he felt differently, and his answer was, "Not so, Lord." But
when the servants of Cornelius made inquiry concerning him, he went
with them to the house of Cornelius and there began his message by
saying, "Ye know that it is an unlawful thing for a man that is a Jew
to keep company, or come unto one of another nation; but God hath
shewed me that I should not call any man common or unclean." "Then
Peter opened his mouth, and said, Of a truth I perceive that God is
no respecter of persons: But in every nation he that feareth him, and
worketh righteousness, is accepted with him." While Peter preached, the
Holy Ghost fell on them, and those Jews who had come with him w&#6619250;e
astonished that the Gentiles received the Holy Ghost in the same man
ner as it was poured out upon the Galileans at Pentecost. When Peter
returned to Jerusalem after this revival among &#7602280;e Gentiles, &#7602280;e Jewish
brethren contended with him and questioned his conduct, but according
to the Bible, when they heard his explanation, "They held their peace,
and glori&#6684777;ed God, saying, Then hath God also to the Gentiles granted
repentance unto life."
But some of the early members were not convinced. When a great
revival broke out among the Grecians at Antioch, a group of the brethren
from headquarters were sent to investigate the situation. A conflict arose,
and Paul and Barnabas went to Jerusalem for the Assembly as record
ed in Acts 15. Peter told of his vision, and Paul and Ba&#7471214;abas report
ed the "miracles and wonders God had wrought among the Gentiles by
them." The decision of that Assembly was that the Gentiles were to
be accepted as members in the Church without becoming Jewish proselytes
or ful&#6684777;lling the requirements of the Law. &#5505128;e door to membership in
the Church of God was open to all men wi&#7602280;out regard to language, nation
ality, or social standing.
The Church continued to operate on &#7602280;is principle. Paul, who had been
reared as a Jew, wrote to the Romans, "I am debtor both to the Greeks,

36 MINUTES OF T&#4718661; 58TH ANNUAL ASSE&#5046338;LY
and to the Barbarians; both to the wise, and to the unwise. So, as much
as in me is, I am ready to preach the gospel to you &#7602280;at are at Rome
also. For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power
of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew &#6684777;rst, and
also to the Greek." This all nations Church of God must include the
Greeks. It must include the barbarians. There must be a place for those
who are wise and those who may not be so wise. We obligated our
selves to baptize all nations and to teach all nations by the covenant
we took when we became members of the Church.
Concerning the members of the Church, the apostle wrote, "For by one
Spirit are we all baptized into one body, whether we be Jews or Gen
tiles, whether we be bond or free." "Now therefore ye are no more
strangers and foreigners, but fellowcitizens with the saints, and of the
household of God." There are different languages, customs and social in
stitutions in the Church of God, but there are no foreigners or strangers.
We as members of the Church, "are one body in Christ, and every one
members one of another." Paul mentioned to the Corinthians something
about the members "which seem to be more feeble," and "members which
we think to be less honourable." He did not say that some of the mem
bers were less honorable, but it appears that some members were con
sidered by others to be feeble or less honorable. But he gives the solu
tion for &#7602280;is: "&#5505128;at the members should have the same care one for
another. And whether one member suffer, all the members suffer with
it; or one member be honoured, all the members rejoice with it." When
we as members of the Church have the same care and love for every
other member of the Church &#7602280;at we expect them to have for us, then
there will not seem to be any feeble or less honorable members. There
are no second-class members in the Body of Christ. Every member takes
the same covenant and is bound by the same obligations, duties, rights
and privileges as every other member in the Church.
We can receive a better idea of what it' means to be fellowcitizens in
the household of God by studying Paul's letter to Philemon. It may
be difficult for us to realize the implications of Paul's instructions be
cause we are not familiar with the institution of slavery as it existed
at that time. But Onesimus was a runaway slave who had been con
verted and Paul sent him home to his master, Philemon, with the ad
monition that he be accepted as a brother in the Lord. Paul's recog
nition of the social custom of slavery as it existed is shown by the fact
that he sent &#7602280;e slave back to his master. But, at the same time, he ad
monished Philemon to show Christian love and fellowship toward his
slave as a brother in the Lord.
Christ's conversation with the woman of Samaria did not bring an end
to the feelings of hatred that existed between the Jews and the people
of Samaria, but it did prove that the love of Christ knows no social or
national boundaries. There are social customs and &#7602290;aditions that exist
in the world that must be dealt with by the world, and we as the Church
of God cannot become involved. We are not responsible for those con
ditions. But as the Church of God, we are responsible to love the peo
ple of all nations even as Christ loved them and gave Himself that they
might be gathered into one body, and we are to show fellowship . one
to another and exercise the same care one for another. To do anything
less than this places us in the dangerous position of those who say one
thing and do another.
In all of our work, we must not lose sight of the fact that the Church
of God is an all nations Church. Several years ago, the former Gen-

MI&#5111893;TES OF THE 58TH ANNUAL ASSEMBLY 37
eral Overseer referred to the slogan "Doing in other countries as we are
doing in this." To achieve the unity that will be necessary to fulfill our
mission to reach the people of the world, the Church of God must oper
ate just the same in every nati on. &#5505128;e thousands of members of the
Church in Haiti must measure up to every teaching of the Church just
as the members do in Florida, Georgia, or any other state. When an over
seer is appointed for the smallest mission &#6684777;eld, he is part of the pres
bytery just as the overseer of any state is. When an application for the
ministry comes to the office from Jamaica, it receives the same atten
tion as one coming from Virginia or any other state.
It is not sufficient to preach Christ, but the world must know the
Church of God. When the people of all nations have been taught the
way of salvation, they must know the Church of God and have the op
portunity to receive the covenant and become members just as we did.
They must be taught to operate the auxiliaries and practice the doctrine
and teachings of the Church exactly as we practice them here. Bible
&#5505138;aining Camp has been of great value in making known the doctrine
of tbe Church. It may be surprising to learn that the number of stu
dents enrolled in B. T. C. outside the United States this year is larger
than the number attending the schools here. Our people throughout the
world are being taught the same things in B. T. C. that you learned
when you attended. They are learning that they have the right to speak
in the Assembly and tell what would be good for their work. The over
seers of the states have served on committees and told the Assembly the
needs of their areas, but a state-wide program cannot take the place
of the all nations Church!
As modern methods of transportation and co&#7143533;unication bring the
nations of the world closer together, no doubt the time will come when
the number of delegates to the Assembly from outside the United States
will be greater than the number of Americans present. We are not the
Church of God of America, of England, Jamaica, or any other country,
but we are the Church of God with the responsibility to reach all nations.
Prophecy has declared that the task will be accomplished, and this will
come to pass by every member of the Church, regardless of nationality,
social position or any other minor differences, working together, side
by-side, as expressed by the familiar words of the song:
Like a mighty army moves the Church of God;
Brothers we are treading where the saints have trod:
We are not divided; All one body we,
One in hope and doc&#7602290;ine, one in charity.
The Joys of the Ministry
&#5701736;en Paul was on the way to Jerusalem, &#7602280;e Holy Ghost wi&#7602286;&#6619251;sed
in every city saying that bonds and afflictions awaited him there;. but
He said, "None of these things move me, neither count I my life dear
unto myself, so that I might finish my course with joy, and the ministry,
which I have received of the Lord Jesus, to testify the gospel of the
grace of God." Paul was determined that afflictions and persecutions
would not hinder him in the work he had been called to do, and he
was determined to ful&#6684777;ll his ministry with joy. To the Romans Paul
described himself as "a servant of Jesus Christ, called to be an apostle,
separated unto the gospel of God."
How do we as ministers in the Church of God feel about our min
is&#7602290;y today? We are told in the Bible that Jesus "for the joy that was

38 MINUTES OF THE 58TH A&#5111971;AL ASSE&#5046338;LY
set before him endured the cross." Sometimes it seems that we are so
conce&#7471214;ed with the "crosses" that we carry in our work that we for
get the joy that is set before us. Could this be the reason that we
frequently hear individuals tell how glad they are not to be called to
preach and why some of our workers give up the minis&#7602290;y and go back
to their jobs?
We are ministers today because we received a divine calling from
God. Eloquent speaking does not make a m&#6881390;ister. A desire to be of
service to the Church and to reach the lost does not qualify one for the
ministry. These and many other things are necessary or helpful, but it is
the calling of God that separates us and sets us apart for this special
work.
The majori&#7602297; of us did not choose the minis&#7602290;y for a profession. In
fact most of our ministers were well-established in a chosen &#6684777;eld when
&#7602280;ey felt the call of God. In the eyes of the world, and perhaps in our
own opinion in many cases, we did not seem to be qualified for the
task to which we were called. Man looks on the outward appearance,
but God looks at the heart, and if God has called you into the ministry,
He saw something in you that He could use for His glory and honor and
for &#7602280;e advancement of the Church of God.
Colleges and universities confer honorary degrees; national governments
award medals and ribbons; but only God calls individuals to the min
istry! Worldly fame and material reco&#6750318;ition lose their dazzle and glamour
in comparison to the divine call of God. Can you grasp in your mind
just what it meant when God, in His wisdom and knowledge of the
past, present and future, looked down and placed His hand upon you
and in some way revealed to you as an individual that He wanted you
for a Church of God m&#6881390;ister?
And as a God-called minister, He entrusted you with the most im
portant commission ever recorded in all history, that of winning the lost
to Him. To us, salvation is the greatest value in the entire world. Think
for a moment of the feeling you experienced when you &#6684777;rst realized that
your sins had been washed away in the blood of Jesus and you stood
before God regenerated and justi&#6684777;ed. &#5505128;en realize that you have been
called and chosen by the Lord Himself to carry this same wonderful mes
sage of salvation and redemption to the ends of the earth. With Paul,
we can say, "Unto me, who am less than the least of all saints, is this
grace given, that I should preach among the Gentiles the unsearchable
riches of Christ."
&#5505128;e New Testameni records the caii ihat came to several of the dis
ciples. Luke tells us that James and John, Simon and Andrew "for
sook all, and followed him." When Matthew, the wealthy tax collector,
heard the Master's call, "he left all, rose up, and followed him." These
were men just like many of us today. James and John left their thriv
ing &#6684777;shing business in the care of their father and the hired servants
and followed One who did not even have a place to lay His head. From
the Scripture we know that Peter was married, but he did not allow
family ties to hinder him. He followed the Lord to become a &#6684777;sher of
men. We may not have been called in exactly the same manner as these,
but cur call from God is just the same.
When we were called as ministers, we were designated as spokesmen
for the God who holds the universe in the palm of His hand and as

MINUTES OF &#5505096;E 58TH ANNUAL ASS&#4522061;BLY 39
His ambassadors to preach the unsearchable riches of Christ to every
nation under heaven. The very fact that we have been called of God is
a source of joy and comfort, but our work as ministers brings joy to
our hearts. &#5505128;e seasons of joy and rejoicing far outnumber the disap
pointments and trying moments that sometimes seem to mar the joy
and blessedness of the ministry.
If you watch the members of your congregation as &#7602280;ey take their places
on a Sunday morning, no doubt you will see many who have pro&#6684777;ted
and been blessed by the Lord working through you. It is the Lord who
does the work and performs the miracles to transform men and women
into new creatures, but His ministers are the vessels &#7602280;rough which He
has chosen to work. One soul that repents is the cause of rejoicing in
heaven, and it causes us to rejoice and be glad. For many of our min
isters, this joy has been multiplied many times over by the number
of souls that have been led to the Lord through your efforts. &#5701736;at great
er thrill is there than to hear the shout of a new-born child of God and
see the radiant countenance as it reflects for the &#6684777;rst time the joy and
peace of a regenerated heart. And then as the years pass, we witness
the transformation the change brings to the life of the individual. Broken
homes have been saved; boys and girls have been rescued from lives of
sin and degredation; suicides have been prevented; and countless other
bene&#6684777;ts have been brought to the lives of individuals because you as
ministers were obedient to your heavenly calling.
No doubt many of you could look around in this congregation and &#6684777;nd
an individual who when you &#6684777;rst met him was lost in sin. Perhaps he
was not even a good moral man, maybe a drunkard or social outcast,
but today, because you allowed God to work throu&#6750312; you, that person
has been won to the Lord. You prayed for him and worked with him,
in some cases for months or years. C&#6357102; you remember the time when
he &#6684777;nally surrendered to the Lord and was saved? &#5701736;at other event or
material satisfaction can bring joy to your heart equal to that moment?
Nothing can compare with the joy of seeing souls weep their way through
to victory. And then consider the joy that it brings as we watch those
same people become members of the Church, grow into mature Chris
tians, and some of them eventually enter the ministry themselves.
How many ministers can remember a little boy who prayed through
in your revival at a certain church several years ago? At the time you
gave it little thought, or possibly said, "He's just a child," but today
some of those "children" are steadfast ministers and workers in the
Church. What can compare with the joy you feel when you look at those
young men and women that you have helpe d to lead to the Lord and
then guided into greater &#6684777;elds· of service for the Church of God?
The call of God places us in the position of ministering to the needs
of others. In times of sickness, sorrow &#6357102;d distress it is the minister to
whom the members of the Church look for prayer, &#6750325;idance and spiritual
strength. &#5701736;at greater compliment could an individual give you than
to seek your help in these hours of need? Men may give us offerings,
or they may speak words in praise of our deeds, but still the greatest
compliment they can have for us as ministers of the gospel is to come
to us for help in their times of distress. They do not turn to you just
because you are a mi&#7209065;ster or because you happen to be the pastor, but
they seek your help because they have learned to love you and to re
spect you and are calmly assured that they can depend on you to help
them through the valley of despair.

40 MINUTES OF THE 58TH A&#5111971;AL ASSE&#5046338;LY
When the telephone rings and there is an urgent plea for help, the
body may be tired and the flesh weak, but our hearts can rejoice be
cause we have been chosen of the Lord to minister to the needs of
His people. The joys of the ministry do not come from pastoring the
largest church in the state or driving the newest car, or having the
&#6684777;nest home, but the happiness and satisfaction of the minister come from
being a blessing to others. &#6815933;s is the joy that endures and makes us
to know that our labor of love is not in vain. This is the joy that made
it possible for Jesus to endure the cross. It is the joy with which Paul
desired to &#6684777;nish his ministry. And it is the same joy that we can have
in our work for the Lord today. The thrill of being called of God as
a m&#6881390;ister is wonderful, but the joy of leading souls to the Lord and
ministering unto the saints is beyond anything &#7602280;at the world has to offer.
Teaching and Training Our Members
In the commission that Jesus gave to the Church before He returned
to be with the Father, He made two references to teaching. His instruc
tions were to go and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of
the Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost, teaching them to observe all
things whatsoever He had co&#7143533;anded them. It seems that the mission
of the Church, to a certain extent, is based on a teaching program. We
must teach the people about the Lord, and then after they believe and
are baptized, we must continue to teach them to observe all things Jesus
taught the disciples. In other words, we must teach them Church of
God doctr&#6881390;e and how to carry on the work of the Church according
to the plan of operation outlined in the New Testament.
Further evidence of the importance of the teaching program in the
Church can be found in Paul's epistle to the Ephesians: "And he gave
some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some,
pastors and teachers; For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the
ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ: Till we all come in the
unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a
perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ."
According to Paul's letter to the Church of God at Corinth, the teachers
were set in the Church along with apostles, prophets, helps, govern
ments, miracles and gifts of healings. From these verses, it seems &#7602280;at
teachers were given for the same purpose as pastors and evangelists:
for the perfecting of the saints, for &#7602280;e work of the ministry and the
edifying of the Church. Our commission is to teach; the teachers have
been placed in the Church; and it seems that it is time for more atten
tion to be given to our teaching program.
There are some who feel that they have de&#6684777;nitely been called of God
to be teachers, and there are others who have never acknowledged a
call but have spent years in various teaching positions in the local churches
and are experienced and quali&#6684777;ed as teachers. It seems possible that one
could be called to teach, and it is possible that one who has been called
to another phase of the ministry could also teach. In fact, one of the
quali&#6684777;cations &#6684783;r bishop as given to Timothy by Paul is that he be
apt to teach. He also says, "The servant of the Lord must not strive;
but be gentle unto all men, apt to teach." Paul did not say anything
about preachi&#7209063; when he listed &#7602280;e quali&#6684777;cations for bishops, but he said
they should be quali&#6684777;ed to teach others. The New Testament does not
always give a clear-cut distinction between preaching and teaching, and
it is often difficult to separate the two. But it is evident that we are

MINUTES OF THE 58TH &#5111951;UAL ASSEMBLY 41
responsible for a teaching program as well as preaching the Word of
God. Paul declared that grace was given unto him to "preach" the un
searchable riches of Christ, and also that he had "taught" publicly and
from house to house. Evidently he was a preacher as well as a teacher.
The Church has recognized the importance of teaching for many years.
At the First Assembly held in 1906 the value of the Sunday School as an
agency for teaching the Word of God was pointed out, and that As
sembly recommended that every local church have a Sunday School. Later
Bible Training Camp was established for the purpose of training our
workers, and that department has been a valuable aid in helping our
people here in the United States as well as in foreign &#6684777;elds to be trained
for the work that lies before us. We appreciate the work being done
by the Sunday School, Bible Training Camp and the other auxiliaries,
but it seems that there are opportunities for teaching and training that
are being neglected.
One point of importance is the necessity of training the new mem
bers who come into the Church from time to time. We cannot expect
them to know as much about the Church as we know unless we teach
them. And there are very few, if any, in our ranks who have gone so
far as to have no need of being taught. Not only do we want to get peo
ple into the Church of God, but we want to get the Church of God into
them. When our people see the Church and have a divine revelation of
it as the Body of Christ revealed in the Scripture, we will not be both
ered with them leaving the Church or looking for something else. When
our new converts are taught the Church from the Word of God, they
have a con&#6684777;dence that enables them to be stronger Christians and they
have a better spiritual armour with which to resist the wiles of the
devil. But how are they to know the Church of God doctrine unless
we teach it to them?
This is our responsibility. The Body of Christ correspondence course
as prepared by Bible Training Camp is an exce&#7077996;ent Scriptural study of
the Church of God. All of our members should understand the Church
from the Bible standpoint as it is outlined in this course. If they do,
they will not be confused about the Church of God and the Kingdom
and will be able to help others understand why everyone who is saved
is not in the Church. They will be able to explain about the perfection
of the Church and they can give the correct answer to those who be
lieve and teach that the Church had its beginning at Pentecost. The
Assembly has recommended that all lay ministers complete this study,
and it seems that it would be good for the pastors to arrange for this
course to be taught in every local church. Then from time to time, it
could be repeated for the benefit of new people who come into the Church.
This could be done through the B. T. C. department with each member
enrolling in the course, paying the regular fee and sending in the tests
and examination sheets as outlined. Or the pastor or one who has com
pleted the course might use the material in the book as a guide for
teaching the course without enrolling the group through the B. T. C. depart
ment.
Similar plans could be made to use the twenty-nine prominent teach
ings. The booklet entitled "Basic Bible Beliefs," which was released a
few years ago, contains a message prepared by the General Overseer on
each of these teachings. The pastor or other appointed teacher could take
this material and use it as the basis for expounding the teachings of
the Church of God to our members. The world must know the Church

of God, and in order for us to get the message to the world, we must
thoroughly indoc&#7602290;inate our own members with the doctrine and prac
tices of the Church. Our members should have a knowledge of the
teachings of the Church so they can give an answer to those who ask
for information. It is not sufficient to say we believe a thing because
the �hurch teaches it. We believe it because the Bible teaches it, and
every member of the Church should be able to take the Word of God
and back up any teaching of the Church in a manner that would con
vince those honest-hearted children of God who are asking their way
to Zion.
Not only must our people know the doctrine of the Church, but they
must be trained to operate the various departments of the work. Most
of our people know the value of the Sunday School, the Victory Leaders
Band and other auxiliaries, but in many cases they need to be trained
to carry on the work of the auxiliaries in an effective manner. Many
years ago the &#4259955;sembly recommended that state secretaries be appoint
ed to represent each auxiliary. This practice has been continued and some
states have full-time secretaries for each of the &#6684777;ve auxiliaries. The
Assembly does not tell the state secretaries how to carry on their work,
but we do want their efforts to be e&#6684774;ective. Since our work varies from
state to state depending upon conditions within the state, each state
will need to arrive at the plan that is most bene&#6684777;cial for it in b&#7274607;st
ing the auxiliary work. Naturally the .work in a state with &#6684777;ve churches
would be different from that of a secretary in a state with one hundred
and ten churches.
Some states are already developing plans for the more effective use
of the state workers. One of the larger states is making plans for the
secretaries to do their work by districts. &#5505128;is will give the secretaries
time to help in the churches where their assistance is more urgently
needed. It will a&#7078003;o give them more time to spend in training the lead
ers and special workers to carry on the work. Some overseers have ar
ranged for the secretaries to go into new churches and stay for several
days to organiz e the auxiliaries and instruct the new workers. In some
of the small states, one person has been appointed to boost two auxiliaries.
Our people need to be made to feel responsible for the work of the
auxiliaries, and they need to see the value of the auxiliary work to the
Church. The state secretary should keep this before the people and at
the same time provide training programs to teach them how to carry
on their work. One of the things that has impressed the general s&#6619235;
retaries in visiting the states is the eage&#7471214;ess of the people to learn how
to make their work more effective. Our people appreciate the state and
general secretaries taking tL&#4063342;e to give them special training for their
work.
One of the greatest needs in the Church today is trained leadership.
Our pastors need to be trained to carry on the work of the local church.
The Sunday School Superintendents and teachers need to be trained in
the work of the Sunday School. The V. L. B. leaders need to be tau&#6750312;t
to conduct their services in a manner that will attract the attention of
new young people and hold their interest in the Church. The band lead
ers must be trained to keep the sheep and restore those who go astray.
Our sisters need to be trained to carry out their responsibility of rais
ing funds to support the mission &#6684777;elds. The C. P. M. A. leaders need
to be trained to put the auxiliary before the people in a way that will
cause them to want to have a part in the work.

MINUTES OF THE 58&#5505096; A&#5111971;&#4259916; ASSE&#11862168;LY 43
This is not said as criticism. &#5505128;e work of our fai&#7602280;ful members and
ministers is more than appreciated. They are laboring untiringly, doing
their best and results are being accomplished. But we could do more if
all of our workers were trained and equipped for the work to which they
are appointed. The need is for trained workers, and the best way to
have them is to train those who are available. If the present plan of
using the state secretaries to visit the local churches seems to be best,
the overseer should continue to use it; however, if he feels that he can
develop a plan that will enable the state secretaries to be more effective,
he has the privilege of giving consideration to another plan. The state
secretaries are appointed by the overseer, and they are to carry out their
duties in the state under his supervision and in harmony with his over
all plan for the work.
Since the Church is responsible for a teaching program, and we must
have trained workers to be effective, it s&#6619237;ms that it is time for us to
give more attention to this phase of our work. It would be good for each
pastor to study this section when it is printed in the Minutes and see
what plan he can use to effect a program of teaching in his local church.
Giving Our Members Proper Care and Attention
When the work of the Assembly Band Movement was &#6684777;rst introduced
to the Assembly in 1916, it was described by the former General Over
seer as a system "by which provisions can be made to give better care
and protection to the little lambs." The plan was for the membership
of the local church to be divided into groups of ten, more or less, with
an appointed leader to watch over each &#6750322;oup. Those in charge of the
groups were not to consider themselves rigid rulers, but rather were to
love the members, to administer spiritual help when such was needed,
and to keep a careful record of the members in order to be able to give
the pastor needed information about each one at any time. The pur
pose of the "Watchers Over Tens," as the work was called at that time,
was to i&#7209075;ure that every member of the Church received proper care.
&#5505128;e "Watchers Over Tens" was revised in 1928 and called the Assem
bly Band Movement as this seemed to be more in line with the New
Testament, but the work of the auxiliary remained basically the same.
The apostle Paul felt the necessity of the members receiving proper
care and wrote, "That there should be no schism in the body; but that
the members should have the same care one for another." The A. B. M.
is recognized as one of the helps or gove&#7471214;ments that was set in the
Church as mentioned by Paul in 1 Corinthians 12:28. It is through the
work of this auxiliary that the members of the Body of Christ receive
the proper attention so that none will be lost. No provision is made for
those who are not members of the Church to receive this care, and when
the A. B. M. does not operate properly, our own members fail to re
ceive the care and attention that is necessary to keep them spiritual. This
failure on the part of those responsible for the A. B. M. work often
contributes to backsliding and sometimes makes it necessary to disfellow
ship members from the Church.
The success of the A. B. M. work in the local church depends largely
upon the pastor. He should have the influence to establish the band work
in his church, and he must go before the band leaders and give the
necessary attention to this work. If the pastor is faithful in perform
ing his part of the A. B. M. work, then the band leaders will usually

44 MINUTES OF T&#4718661; 58TH ANNUAL ASSEMBLY
follow his example and give special care to the members of each band.
If the pastor neglects the members and does not take care of the regular
band leaders meetings as he should, then the band leaders may tend to
be slothful in their work.
The pastor should exercise special care in the selection of band lead
ers. It has been said that no plan is any better than those who operate
it, and the success of the A. B. M. work depends upon the spirituality
and consecration of those to whom the responsibi&#7077993;ty for the work is
entrusted. Only those who are good examples of the believers should
be considered to &#6684777;ll the position of a band leader. They should be mem
bers of outstanding spirituality, consecration, loyalty and those who have
a good record within the church. Band leaders should attend all the
regular services of the church and practice the rulings of the Assembly.
They should pay tithes and trust the Lord for their healing. It is neces
sary for those who serve as band leaders to be examples in all good
works in order to lead their members into a deeper experience with
God. A band leader will never be able to lead his members any closer
to the Lord than he is.
After the band leaders have been selected, it may be necessary to train
them for the work that has been assigned to them. The monthly band
leaders meeting is· a good time for the pastor to give special instruc
tions conce&#7209179;ng the duties and responsibilities of band leaders. Each
year there will probably be some who have not served as band leaders
before and they need to be trained for the work they are to do. The
pastor should instruct the band leaders how to-conduct their monthly
prayer meetings to make them spiritual and bene&#6684777;cial to their members.
The band leaders should be trained to give special attention to any of
their members who become careless or discouraged and to pray them
through before they go back into sin. &#5505128;ey should be taught to keep care
ful records of their work and to make reports to the pastor accurately
and promptly.
The band leaders should be willing to learn and at the same time,
apt to teach so that they may obey the instructions of Paul to Timothy:
"Take heed unto thyself, and unto the doctrine; continue in them: for
in doing this thou shalt both save thyself, and them that hear thee." The
band leaders should know the doctr&#6881390;e and teachings of the Church
sufficiently to be able to impart this knowledge to the members of the
band, and they must also teach by example. The importance of regular
church attendance can be taught most effectively by the band leaders
setting a good example of this. In the monthly prayer meetings, the thought
of having the same care one for another should be kept in mind, and
each member of the band should be given something to do for the bene
&#6684777;t of the service.
It is not the duty of the band leader to take the place of the pastor.
While the work of a band leader is similar in many respects to that of
the pastor, the pastor is the shepherd of the flock and he is responsi
ble for the spiritual welfare of every member of his church. The band
leaders are to help the pastor, but they are not to take his place. Band
leaders should visit their members, but these visits cannot ful&#6684777;ll the
pastor's responsibility to visit. The band leaders are to encourage the
members spiritually, but the pastors are also responsible for this work.
The pastor and band leader should work together at all times to insure
that every member receives proper care.

MINUTES OF THE 58TH ANNUAL ASSEMBLY 45
&#5505128;e effective operation of the A. B. M. in every local church will re
duce the number of backsliders and the result will be greater spiritu
ality in all of our churches. The work of the band leader is not just to
visit the members before they are disfellowshipped, but the Scripture
teaches that we are to restore th&#6619245;. Paul said, "Brethren, if a man be
overtaken in a fault, ye which are spiritual, restore such an one in the
spirit of meekness." Because a band leader fails to feel his responsibility
or fails to carry out his duti&#6619251;, a member may become discouraged and
eventually do things that make it necessary to disfellowship him from
the Church. If the band leader is diligent to know the state of his mem
bers, he will be alert to the needs of every individual and can apply
spiritual &#6684777;rst aid to help those who are discouraged or in need of special
attention.
It seems that sometimes we fail to operate the A. B. M. until it is too
Jate for it to be most effective. The band leaders neglect their work
and make no effort to help the member until he has gone into open sin.
When a band leader &#6684777;rst notices that a member is failing in church at
tendance or in any way, that is the time when he should be on the
job with the care and attention that the member needs. &#5701736;en our band
leaders do this, there is far less backsliding in the church and it is not
necessary to disfellowship so many of our precious members.
If the A. B. M. operates properly, the churches will not have members
who have been backslidden for two or three years, or longer. The work
of the A. B. M. is to restore those who go astray, but just because
they have not been turned out of the church does not always mean that
&#6357102; effort is being made to restore them. Sometimes a member may have
charges aga&#6881390;st him and this be discussed in conference after confer
ence, but no effort ever made to restore him. &#5505128;e work of the b&#6357102;d
leaders is not to get members disfellowshipped, but as band leaders we
are to be so &#6684777;lled with love and compassion that we will go out and
make the necessary effort to restore those who are overtaken in a fault.
The Lord has set the Assembly Band Movement in the Church and we
are responsible for its operation. If it operates effectively as outlined
by the Assembly, we will not have nearly as many backsliders, and many
of those who have backslidden can be restored. But if the band leaders
have done their best and the church has been longsuffering and made
every effort to win them, then we have no choice but to exclude them
from membership in the church. The operation of the A. B. M. will
eliminate the number of backsliders that some of our local churches have.
Nothing that has been said along this line is meant as criticism to any
one. Rather, I wish to commend our band leaders for their faithful ef
forts. We have hundreds of band leaders throughout the Church who
measure to the Bible quali&#6684777;cations for this work and carry out their
duties as outlined by the Assembly. But it seems necessary to point out
the responsibilities that rest upon our band leaders and pastors to in
sure that every member of the Body of Christ receives the proper care
and attention. The A. B. M. is of great value to us in the work of the
Church and in striving toward the goal of perfection. Pastors and band
leaders, let us operate the A. B. M. as outlined by the Assembly for the
-care and protection of every member and for the advancement of the
Church of God.
Trusting the Lord for Our Healing
Surely every member of the Church of God will agree with me to
day that divine healing is Bible doctrine. It is Church of God doctrine,

46 MINUTES OF THE 58TH ANNUAL ASSEMBLY
and it is one of the teachings that has been made prominent through
the years. If there are any who feel that the Church has let down on
teaching divine healing, I want them to know that we have not.
There are many Scriptures to show that provision for our healing was
made in the atoning death of Jesus on the cross. In giving praise to
&#7602280;e Lord, the Psalmist David wrote, "Bless the Lord, 0 my soul, and
forget not all his benefits: &#5701736;o forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healeth all
thy diseases." &#5505128;e prophet Isaiah foretold the sufferings of Christ and said,
"But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniqui
ties: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we
are healed." Speaking of Christ, Peter said, "Who his own self bare our
sins in his own body on &#7602280;e tree, that we, being dead to sins, should
live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed."
These verses make it evident that the atonement which provided sal
vation for the soul included healing for the body. &#5701736;en our Saviour
bore the cross as He walked up Calvary's hill, He took our infirmities
and our sicknesses. When He willingly gave His life because of His
great love for the world, the atonement that He made included heal
ing for our bodies. He shed His blood to save, to sanctify, to heal, and
with it He purchased the Church of God. There is nothing so power
ful as the precious blood of Christ. We have known the Saviour in the
pardon and forgiveness of our sins and through His blood we are justi
&#6684777;ed in the sight of God. We have been sancti&#6684777;ed by the blood in the
same experience that caused the disciples to retu&#7471214; to Jerusalem with
great joy. We have seen the healing power of God surge through a body
that was feverish, broken by pain and suffering, and felt the glorious
victory that the healing power of God brings. Divine healing is heal
ing that is accomplished by the power of God without the aid of medicine
or surgical skills. And it is just as free and as available as salvation to
those who accept it.
Matthew records the fulfillment of Isaiah's prophecy: "When the even
was come, they brought unto him many that were possessed with devils:
and he cast out the spirits with his word, and healed all that were sick:
That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Esaias the prophet, say
ing, Himself took our in&#6684777;rmities, and bare our sicknesses." Time will
not permit us to mention all the healings done by our Lord, and heal
ing in the New Testament is not &#6881497;ited to the ministry of Jesus. &#5505128;e
record shows that He called the disciples together and gave them power
and au&#7602280;ority over all devils and to cure all diseases. He sent &#7602280;em
out with these instructions: "And as ye go, preach, saying, &#5505128;e king
dom of heaven is at hand. Heal &#7602280;e sick, cleanse &#7602280;e lepers, raise the
dead, cast out devils: freely ye have received, freely give."
In His &#6684777;nal instructions before going back to the Father, Jesus com
manded the disciples to go into all the world and preach the gospel to
every creature. He declared that certain si&#6750318;s would follow the be
lievers, and one of them is, "They shall lay hands on the sick, and they
shall recover." According to the Scripture, these early ministers, "went
forth, and preached every where, the Lord working with them, and con
&#6684777;rming the word with signs following."
It hardly seems necessary to say more about healing in the days of
&#7602280;e disciples. &#5505128;e Bible clearly shows that divine healing was preached
and practiced by the apostles and &#7602280;e saints in &#7602280;e early Church. We
have been very careful through the years to fo&#7077996;ow &#7602280;e New Testament

MINUTES OF THE 58TH ANNUAL ASSEMBLY 47
as our pattern, and we must preach and practice divine healing in our
day just as they did in that day.
Soon after I felt impressed to use this subject, a severe test came
upon me. For almost three weeks I was not able to be in the office.
During this time, I experienced temperatures well above one hundred
degrees and suffered intense pain. We prayed, and we obeyed the in
structions of James and called for the elders of the Church. Finally, in
an all-out effort to get the attention of the Lord for complete victory,
the saints gathered in our home daily at a certain hour for prayer. I did
not have a medical examination, and I still do not know exactly what
the diagnosis of the case would have been, but I know that I trusted
God and He delivered me. When consideration was given to including
this subject in the address, I had no idea that I would be put to the test.
But I am glad that I was able to stand the test and come out victorious,
and I give God all the honor and glory for His healing power. &#4259948;ong
with many of you, I can testify that divine healing is just as real to
day as it has ever b&#6619237;n, and it is available to all those who will put their
trust wholeheartedly in the One who made it possible.
The Church takes the Bible as the Word of God and the New Testa
ment as the rule of faith and practice. When we accepted the cove
nant, healing for our bodies as provided in the atonement was included. This
doctrine has not been changed, and there will never be any reason to
change it because the blood will not lose its power. Every member of
the Church of God should have a sincere desire to honor the blood of
our blessed Saviour by trusting the Lord for healing.
We read the accounts of healing in the Bible, and we have wi&#7602286;essed
miracles of healing, but at the same time we have known cases where
someone failed to be healed. Several explanations might be given for
this, but one thing is sure. There is no failure on the part of God. The
blood of Christ has not lost its power, and God's arm of blessings is
not shortened. When we were saved, we surrendered ourselves com
pletely to the Lord. We could never have been saved if we had trusted
in our works or our ability to save others. We could never have been
saved if we had looked to anyone but the Lord. It seems that the same
surrender that enables us to have faith in God and trust Him for salva
tion would enable us to &#7602290;ust Him for healing.
When we were saved, we realized that we had no other place to go,
for there is no other name under heaven whereby ye must be saved.
We see p&#6619247;ple seek salvation, but for some reason, unknown to us, they
often leave the altar without being saved. But there is no other place
to go, so they keep coming until &#6684777;nally the conditions are met and
they receive the experience from God. If we had stopped seeking the
Lord for salvation without receiving it, or turned to some other sourc e
for help, we would not be saved today. If we seek God for healing with
the same determination and the same faith, He will heal us. It seems
that people sometimes pray for healing with the attitude that if the Lord
does not heal them, they will resort to medical aid. Do you think the
Lord would be obligated to heal anyone who feels that way about it?
Do you think He would have saved you if you had prayed for salvation
with the thought in mind that if you failed to &#6684777;nd it in the blood of Jesus
you would look some other place?
&#5505128;ese are serious questions. It is not my desire to hurt anyone, but
it is our duty as ministers to preach divine healing. &#5505128;e Lord promised
to con&#6881496;m the word with signs following when they preached the word.

48 MINUTES OF THE 58TH ANNUAL ASSEMBLY
If we do not preach healing, how can we expect the Lord to con&#6684777;rm our
ministry with this sign? Every minister in the Church of God should
preach healing, but this must be done in the right manner. We can
not encourage people to &#7602290;ust the Lord by criticizing and condem&#7209065;ng
those who fail to do so, but we must preach the blessings of the atone
ment and the joy of completely trusting the Lord for soul and body
until our people become so spiritual that it will be easy for them to re
sort to the Bible way for healing.
At the same time, we cannot devote all of our minis&#7602290;y to one sub
ject. Our commission as the Church of God is to preach the gospel to
every creature. The gospel is more than just divine healing or any other
one teaching. Paul did not spead all of his time in healing campaigns
and leave off the other points of doctrine, but he declared that he fully
preached the gospel and that he preached the faith he once destroyed.
Paul preached the doctrine of the Church of God, and our ministers
must preach the same doc&#7602290;ine. This includes healing as provided by the
atoning blood of Christ.
Not only must we preach divine healing, but we must practice it.
Failure to &#7602290;ust the Lord for healing is a test of the ministry. The in
structions on the church and pastor's endorsement form tell us that no
one should be recommended for the ministry who does not trust the
Lord for healing. To my knowledge, no minister has ever been licensed
in the Church of God unless he stated that he &#7602290;usted the Lord for his
healing and did not use any medicine for hi&#7143539;elf. The wife of a bishop
or deacon is expected to measure up along with her husband in trust
ing the Lord for her healing. Occasiona&#7077996;y a minister fails in this re
spect. Some have voluntarily sent in their licenses, and their sincerity
in this matter is appreciated. Sometimes it is necessary for the state
overseer to hold the license until the individual can prove himself, or if
he is not able to trust the Lord, some have volunteered to resign rather
thaR to let down the standard of the minis&#7602290;y.
&#4259950;y failure is serious, but it is especially so when it involves our serv
ice to God and the Church. We teach healing by the power of God,
and the world knows that the standard of the Church of God includes
divine healing. When we fail to practice this teaching, we are failing to
do the things we say. It is serious to say one thing and do another. In
the things that have been said, it has not been my desire to condemn
or hurt anyone, but rather to encourage every member, and particularly
every minister, to feel his responsibility to look to the blood of Jesus
for healing. Divine healing is ours, and if we fail to accept it, we &#5570654;e
living beneath our privilege as children of God.
Tomlinson Memorial School
This subject has been before the Assembly several times. Since we
have been unable to arrive at a satisfactory plan for the operation of
the school, it is necessary to mention it again.
This part of our work was carried on in the name of the Sunday
School Orphanage from 1945 to 1957; however, Tomlinson Memorial School
began operation in January, 1955. The decision to start the school was
made by the Board of Directors. We received information which led
us to believe that we could operate under a charter from the state as
a school and care for more children than we were allowed to have under
our charter as the Sunday School Orphanage. We had been operating

MINUTES OF &#5505096;E 58TH ANNUAL ASSE&#5046338;LY 49
a school for the children in the orphanage for two years before we re
ceived the charter as Tomlinson Memorial School. Classes _ were con
ducted in Bible Place Chapel and in the basement of the . local church
before the present building was . constructed. The activities of the school
were supervised by the Board of Directors and it operated entirely under
their direction and was &#6684777;nanced by the regular funds that the Sunday
Schools contributed to the support of the orphanage.
With the issuance of the charter and the operation as Tomlinson Memo
rial School in March, 1957, we were allowed to care for a larger num
ber of children, but the school and all of its activities continue d to be
&#6684777;nanced through the orphanage depar&#7602285;ent. A build&#6881390;g was constructed
on the orphanage property, and since that time a nice addition to it has
been dedicated.
Our school may seem like a small operation, and it is in . comparison
to the public educational systems. When the school opened in 1955, we
had only two teachers and had not borne the expense of constructing
a building. It seemed that the regular orphanage funds would be suf
ficient to operate the school. However, with the construction of the build
ing and the addition of a large teaching staff, the school soon became
a &#6684777;nancial strain on the orphanage work. Two years ago in 1961, this
fact was brought to the attention of the 56th Assembly, and it was agreed
that the building for the school would be f&#14876891;shed in the same man
ner as the buildings for the other departments at headquarters. This
relieved the orphanage of the responsibility of paying for the building.
At that time it was asked that the Assembly give an expression of
its feeling toward the continued operation of the orphanage and school.
The decision of the Assembly was that this be left in the hands of the
Orphanage Committee, also known as the Board of Directors, as .appoint
ed by the General Overseer. We have operated for two yea&#6881338;s since
that time.
At the 57th Assembly, held in 1962, the Questions and Subj�cts Com
mittee recommended that a special committee study the &#6684777;nancial crisis
and other problems that confront the school and bring a recommenda
tion to that committee at this Assembly. The special committee com
posed of the General Overseer, General Treasurer, Orphanage Superin
tendent, General Sunday School Secretary and General V. L. B. Secre
tary, has worked very hard this year and considered the problems from
every angle and its recommendations have been presented to the Ques
tions and Subjects Committee.
The cost of the operation of the school at its present enrollment, in
the present building with the six teachers now employed, is approxi
mately $30,000 per year. The orphanage depa&#7602399;ent cannot bear this
expense any longer. We have had a de&#6684777;cit in the orphanage treasury for
most of this year, and we are faced with the necessity of constructing
a new home on the farm to replace the outdated farmhouse presently
being used. This must be done to comply with the regulations of the
Welfare Department of the State of Tennessee. Unless some action is
taken by this Assembly, it will be necessary for the Board of Directors
to exercise the authority given it by the 56th Assembly and discontinue
operation of the school at the end of the current term in May, 1964.
Much more could be said about the school, and it has been discussed
pro and con in recent years. If we are to continue the school, we must
arrive at a satisfactory plan for &#6684777;nancing its operation. Also, if the school

50 MINUTES OF T&#4718661; 58TH ANNUAL ASSEMBLY
is to operate separately from the orphanage department, some plan for
the administration of it must be worked out. The Questions and Sub
jects Committee may give attention to this matter, and in their wise judg
ment, after due and prayerful consideration, they may either bring be
fore the Assembly a recommendation that the school be closed or a plan
for &#6684777;nancing and administering its continued operation that would not
place a burden upon the orphanage funds.
INTERESTING INFORMATION
In this_ section are several tables which give information about the
work for this year in comparison with the record for last year. In some
of our work, we have accomplished more than we did last year, but
there have been some decreases. A decrease does not mean that there
has been an actual decrease in that department, but only that our ef
forts have not accomplished as much this year as we were able to re

This info&#7471213;ation is compiled from the reports that our ministers send
to headquarters each month. We appreciate our ministers who report
regularly, &#6357102;d it is through their efforts that we are able to present this
information. From these figures, it seems-that our ministers have been
very busy, and their minis&#7602290;y has been fruitful. We are always happy
when we can show an increase in this part of our work, and we are
grateful for &#7602280;e efforts our ministers have put forth to get people saved,
sancti&#6684777;ed, &#6684777;lled with the Holy Ghost, baptized in water and added to the
Church of God!

FOREIGN MISSION DRIVES
At the 24th Assembly held in 1929, it was recommended that special
foreign mission drives be conducted in October and March under the
supervision of the Foreign Mission Committee with the assistance of &#7602280;e
ministry, W. M. B.'s, church publications and other methods that will
insure a large offering. The interest of our people in supporting our
foreign mission work is appreciated. May God bless each one who gave
any amount in &#7602280;e October and March foreign mission drives which were
conducted from headquarters again this year.

AUX'ILIARY INFORMATION
Our members have been faithful for many years in ra1smg funds for
the support of the· various activities of the auxiliaries. Our work can
not be accomplished without finance, and the auxiliaries play a great part
in supplying this need. We are grateful for what has been done this
year; and we want our people to know that their labor of love for the
Church of God is appreciated. The change in the &#6684777;nancial system which
was recommended at the 57th Assembly has resulted in a decrease in
the amount of funds available for the work of each auxiliary. &#5505128;e de
creases as reported here do not indicate that our people have failed to
work, but merely that the funds have been allocated in a different man
ner. These amounts do not include the percentage of each offering that
remained in the state under the new system.
Given below is the record for this year in comparison with the amount
received last year with the largest &#6684777;gures at the top, the second largest
next, and so on, down to the smallest.

CONCLUSION

This week brings to a close another Assembly year. At the close of
a year, we often pause to look back and see what our efforts have ac
complished. As a rule, we can see many places where we wish that more
could have been realized. We can think of individuals that we would
like to have won to the Lord. We can name new fields where we had
hoped to organize the Church. Our offerings never seem quite as large
as we wish they had been. In almost every case, there are things that
we had hoped to accomplish, but for some reason, we did not quite reach
the goal. But we cannot allow ourselves to become discouraged because
we did not realize the results we had hoped for. It is good to strive
for certain accomplishments, but the most important thing is to do our
best for the Lord and the Church of God. Jesus said of an individual
on one occasion, "She hath done what she could."
No doubt, He could say the same thing about many of us today. Many
of you have done what you could throughout the year for the advance
ment of our work. It is our faithfulness to God and our devotion to duty
that count. As Paul and Apollos did in the early Church, we plant, and
we water, but God gives the increase. If we fail to plant or to water,
we cannot expect the increase to be large, but it is our responsibility
to do our best, to do what we can, and leave the increase up to God.
The work of this Assembly year has gone down on record. God knows
about every prayer that has been prayed, each home that has been vis
ited, the messages that have been preached, and every effort that you
have made. He knows what each of us has done, and if there are any
who have failed to do what they could, the Lord knows that, too.
But as we review the work of this year that is so swiftly coming to
a close, the greatest effect that it can have is to give us a burning de
sire to accomplish more in the year that will begin very soon. For many
of you, it has already begun. The pastors have received their appoint
ments for the new year. Others will be assigned to &#6684777;elds of labor for
the coming year before this Assembly closes. Auxiliary leaders and the
workers in the local churches will be appointed in a few days. Today,
we stand upon the threshold of a brand new year to work for God. As
we realize the opportunities for service that lie before us, I pray that
the zeal of the Lord will consume you and the enthusiasm to work for
God will burn within your bones like a &#6684777;re, and that we as individuals
will repeat the words of the Master, "I must work the works of him that
sent me, while it is day: the night cometh, when no man can work."
"I must work the works of him that sent me!" Jesus did not say that
He would work if He wanted to. He did not say He would work if He
felt like it, or if He could go where the work was easy and the pay,
good. He did not qualify His statement in any manner. He said, "I must
work." Some power within kept Him going when the way was rough.
It stayed with Him when the multitudes were gone. When He turned
to the disciples and asked them if they would also go away, that force
within still motivated Him to do the work of His Father.

62 MINUTES OF THE 58TH ANNUAL ASSEMBLY
Jesus realized that He had a limited time in which to accomplish His
task. He said that He must work for the night cometh, when no man
can work. &#5505128;e time will come when you and I will &#6684777;nish our work.
No doubt you have missed several familiar faces at this Assembly. Broth
er W. M. Lowman, Brother D. R. Holcomb, Brother W. W. Webb, and
many others of our faithful workers have &#6684777;nished their work since we
were here last year. They worked while it was day, while they had the
opportunity, and accomplished many things for the Lord, but the night
came, and they cannot do any more for God. It will be the same with
us. The time will come when the record of our service to the Church
of God will be closed. I feel that I must work while I have time and
opportunity. I thank God for the glorious privilege of being granted the
prospects of another year to labor for Him. No doubt you feel the same
way.
This year that lies before us is a year that we have never lived be
fore, and we do not know what we will encounter before we gather
here for another Assembly. But we want to do our best so that when
our work is &#6684777;nished we can say with Paul, "I have fought a good &#6684777;ght,
I have &#6684777;nished my course, I have kept &#7602280;e faith: Henceforth there is
laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the right&#6619247;us
judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them
also that love his appearing." Paul did not live an easy life, but he
lived one that was faithful. He knew what it meant to be persecuted.
He was beaten for the sake of the gospel. In the course of his min
istry, he suffered shipwreck and other things that were not pleasant. But
do you think that any of these mattered to him when he realized that·
the end was near, and he looked up into the face of God and said, "I am
now ready to be offered." He did not mention the persecutions or the
sufferings, but he thought of the crown of righteousness that awaited
him. So it is with us. When we think of the blessings of the minis&#7602290;y
and the glorious events that will unfold when the bride of Christ hath
made herself ready, we can rejoice and praise God that we have been
permitted to share in the preparation!
We may never accomplish the things that Paul did in his ministry, but
we can be as faithful as he was. If we do the things that we can, we
will receive a crown of righteousness just as Paul did.
As we stand now to sing our battle hymn, notice the &#6684777;rst line, "I've
enlist�d for life in the a&#7471213;y of the Lord." Is that the way you feel about
it today? Are you in the Church of God for life? Is the Church of God
your life? Surely it is. Let us sing wi&#7602280; all our hearts, and as never
before, dedicate ourselves to the service of the Lord, giving God the
glory for what has been accomplished in &#7602280;e past, and at the same time,
reaching forth and expecting great accomplishments in the months and
years &#7602280;at lie before us!
AT THE BA&#5505184;E'S &#4587602;ONT
I've enlisted for life in the army of the Lord,
Though the &#6684777;ght may be long and the struggle &#6684777;erce and hard,
With the armour of God and &#7602280;e Spirit's trusty sword
At the front of the battle you will &#6684777;nd me.
Chorus:
Hear the tramp! tramp! tramping of the army
&#5505128;e triumph shout&#6881390;g, the foe we're routing
Hear &#7602280;e tramp! tramp! &#7602290;amping of &#7602280;e army

MINUTES OF THE 58TH ANNUAL ASSEMBLY
Marching on to victory.
I'm in this army, this glorious army,
And the God of the battles will defend me,
I'm in this army, this glorious army,
At the front of the battle you will &#6881492;d me.
With &#7602280;e banner of love and of holiness unfurled,
Full salvation proclaim to a sinful dying world;
Tho' the darts thick and fast from the enemy be hurled,
At the front of the battle you will &#6684777;nd me.
Is your name, friend, enro&#7077996;ed with the loyal ones and true?
Will you dare now to stand with the Saviour's faithful few?
Will you join with me now and the covenant renew?
At the front of the battle you will &#6684777;nd me.
The End

12:15 p.m,-At the close of the address Liston Pritchard led the con
&#6750322;egation in singing "At the Battle's Front."
12:22 p.m.-The service was dismissed with prayer by V. R. Sherrill.
Phi&#7077996;ip Barker directed a program of music and songs during the inter
mission.
1:23 p.m.-Arthur Woodruff led the song service with Ima Jewell Wood
ruff at the piano and Judy Sadler at the organ. Clyde Forbes read Titus
2:1-8. Prayer was offered by George H. Griffin, and this was followed
by concert prayer for the requests.
1:33 p.m.&#2949248;herman Minter sang "House of Gold," and the Joybells sang
"Reach Out and Touch the Hand of the Lord."
1:42 p.m.-Message by R. O. Covey, "Unto Every People After &#5505128;eir
Language." The speaker quoted from the General Overseer's Annual Ad
dress before the 35th &#4259955;sembly held in 1940 and said, "Ever since my as
sociation with the Church twenty-six years ago, I have heard that it &#6881395; a
Church of all nations with a message for every people, nation, kindred
and tongue. It was a thrill to me in the begi&#7209070;ing of my membership
to know I was a member of the Church that the Lord purchased with
His own blood and established while He was here. Most of us under
stand that we are in the Church that is destined to reach all natio&#7209075;.
At the time I came into the Church we were preaching Mark 13:10 just
as we &#6357106;e preaching it today. You just cannot separate the V. L. B. from
the foreign language work because the free literature money and the
V. L. B. endeavor make it possible for the publishing of our message re
gardless of what language it is in.
"The Book will tell us what the Lord expects of us, and then we have
to search our hearts and formulate plans and pray down the blessings
and the help of the Lord to see it in action. I have con&#6684777;dence in the
things our former General Overseer said, and the present General Over
seer reaffirmed in his annual address that we still believe this to be
the Church of all nations and that we are responsible to reach all nations
with this message. &#5505128;e vision of the Bible is the vision of the Church.
We have to see a thing and feel it in our soul to put the program over.
We have many who have never caught the vision sufficiently to work

64 MI&#5111893;TES OF THE 58TH A&#5111971;AL ASSE&#5046338;LY
at the job like many of our folks do. We have realized that there are
other ways of getting the message to the world besides the printed page,
but this does not relieve us of the responsibility of getting the printed
page to all nations.
"The progra m refers to a Scripture in Esther 8:9. Haman set out to
destroy all the Jews in order to get vengeance, but God was looking
after His people. There were three occasions in that story where the king
sent a message to all one hundred twenty-seven provinces in their language
so they could clearly understand it and put the king's decree into opera
tion in every province just alike. If they could do that back in the days
of &#3801157;:sther when the children of Israel were in captivity, I don't see why
we could not do it in this Holy Ghost dispensation. &#4259948;l nations will
furnish material and members for the body of Christ. That is where
our members are coming from. We who are English-speaking may think
in Bnglish, but the people who speak another language think in that
language. It is easy sometimes to limit our thinking and our vision to
the language we speak, but God sees the world with every creature,
kin&#6488169;red and tongue that He has placed on this earth. All those messages
that we feel are good for one people are good for all the people of &#7602280;e
world. Try to imagine how you would feel if you were in the world with
out a piece of literature that you could read concerning the Church
that you love. &#5505128;e truth is that you might not love the Church as you
do today if you never had anything put into your hands that you could
read about the Church. Imagine what it would be like if you did not
have the Bible. It would be good to hear the message preached, but
when the preacher was gone you would not have anything left so you could
sit down in quiet meditation and read it over. Suppose we were just limited
to the Bible. Nothing can take the place of the Bible, but we have to
have messages and things taught concerning the Church. Jesus gave the
commission to go into all the world and teach &#7602280;e people to observe. If
the Bible could have done this alone there would be millions of people
knowing about the Church today who know nothing whatever about it.
"There is a very real need for getting &#7602280;is message into every language.
There is a purpose and a meaning for this. It is so that all people who
know the Lord might be brought to the understanding of the Church.
&#5505128;ey must come into the unity of the faith, speaking the same thing
with no division, perfectly joined together with the same mind and same
judgment. The people in the French-speaking nations must have this
message so they can understand it just like we do in the English lan
guage so they can see eye to eye and speak the same thing according to
the Word of God.
"&#5505128;e &#4980847;rd knows where we are in this program. He knows what we
have accomplished and how much more there is to do. I hope we are
not feeling so good about what we have already done that we will fail
to ful&#6684777;ll this vision that the Lord wants us to accomplish. We have only
scratched the s&#7667826;face. There are more than two thousand spoken lan
guages, exclusive of minor dialects. In 1940 the American Bible Society
printed the Bible and portions of it in more than one thousand lan
guages. Today &#7602280;ey have been successful in reaching twelve hundred
languages. &#5505128;ey have published the entire Bible in two hundred &#7602295;enty
eight languages. They have not reached the half-wa y mark. But there
is no evidence that more than one-&#6684777;fth of the people have been privileged
to come in contact with the Scripture. There is more than just print
ing. There is the distribution problem, too. If the American Bible So
ciety is supposed to publish the Bible in all languages, it is the re-

MI&#5111893;T&#4522067; OF THE 58TH &#9371811;&#4259916; ASSEMBLY 65
sponsibility of the Church of God to follow up with &#7602280;e last days mes
sage of &#7602280;e Church. We need to use the tract program and our printed
literature to help people see the vision of the Church and draw them to
one body. In 194 0 we had tracts in ten languages. Today we have made
it up to thirty-&#6684777;ve languages. We have Sunday School literature in three
languages and the &#5701736;ite Wing Messenger in &#6684777;ve lan&#6750325;ages. We have a
great job left to do.
"We want to be as efficient as we possibly can in the distribution of
our literature. Sometimes it just goes out there and does not get to the
people. If that is the case, it is a wasted product. It is only the litera
ture that we get into the hands of the people that is going to do them
good. We have people in this country who speak o&#7602280;er languages. Our
English-speaking people who live in these cities where there are other
tongues would do well to request more foreign trac&#7602291;. John was peer
ing into the future and saw a great multitude which no man could num&#2949178;
ber of all nations, kindreds, people and tongues, standing before the throne.
&#5505128;ey must have been saved people ga&#7602280;ered from the earth. The great
multitude that is going to be gathered there &#7602280;at day will be gathered
from all nations. It surely shows that &#7602280;is message must and will go to
people of a&#7077996; languages."

Financial Statement of
White Wing Publishing House and Press
Greetings to the 58th Annual General Assembly:
Before reading my report, I would like to take this opportunity to thank
Bro&#7602280;er E. L. Higdon publicly for &#7602280;e so&#14483669;d &#6881492;ancial condition that I
found at the Publishing House upon my appoin&#7602285;ent as Business Man
ager. &#5505128;ere was a sufficient amount of money in the bank to make
operation easy this year; consequently, your Publishing Department has
had another successful year. •
You will notice on &#7209065;y report, we show a net income of $38,830 .68. This
money has been spent or retained in the following manner:
We increased our cash in bank balance for working capital
this year by $19,516.73. Also purchased this year were
machinery and equipment such. as electric typewriters,
automatic stitcher and a large air conditioning unit for the.
printing depar&#7602285;ent.
&#5505128;ese purchases account for a net increase in assets of $8,344.42 .. &#5505128;e
balance of net income was used to increase our inventories to better serve
you, our people.
We, yo&#7667826; Publishing Department, are giving a donation of $10,000.00 to
the Free Literature Fund from our successful operation to help offset
the Church Publication &#4980847;ss which is underwritten by this fund. &#12386523;
will be a &#7602290;ansfer of funds from our cash in bank to the Free Literature
Fund. In doing this, we feel we are beginning to be .a service· to the
Church which is the reason for our being.
. . ,. _ . • .

this includes both our employees and you, our customers and fellow

It seems that this assembly year has come and gone so fast that we
have had to be on the run to keep up with &#7602280;e pace. I feel this has been
a &#6750322;eat year. In every state I have visited I have found zealous work
ers who are doing their best to try to &#13893842;sh the task before them.
Although we have not attained all the goals and objectives we had
outlined for the year, I feel good about what has been accomp&#7077993;shed and
I thank the Lord for allowing me to have a small part on His program
1n these last days.
I wish to thank all our good state overseers, state representatives, pas
tors and l&#7274595;al representatives for their faithful work.
Respectfully submitted,

Church Benefit Association Report
The Church Bene&#6684777;t Association has had a very successful year in
terms of enrollment in the Church Family Group Life Insurance plan.
In contrast with the enrollment success, there has been an abnormal
number of death claims which has prevented the Association from re
ceiving any dividends for the Ministerial Aid Fund. Our s.econd policy

72 MINUTES OF T&#4718661; 58TH A&#5111886;UAL ASSE&#5046338;LY
year that began March 15, 1963, is also proving unusual in death experiences
as our insurance underwriters have paid out more in death claims than
they have received from the Association in premiums. &#5505128;is high inci
dence of death claims is expected to level off soon. Since the inception
of the insurance plan on March 15, 1962, our insurance underwriters have
already paid out, through our Association, a total of $69,500 for 43 death
claims. By this fact, it can be realized that this great protection plan
has proved to be a wonderful blessing to our people.
&#5505128;e Association receives ten per cent of the premiums each month
for office expense. We now have about 2,000 Certi&#6684777;cate holders which
is not sufficient to furnish the required percentage of premium revenue
for office expense. It is hoped that the enrollment can be increased
which will enable the Association to be self-supporting. We are striv
ing for 1,000 additional e&#7209074;ollees this policy year.

To the 58th Annual Assembly of the Church of God of Prophecy, Greetings:
SECTION I
We, your Ministerial Aid Committee, respectfully submit the following
recommendations for your consideration and approval.

MINUTES OF THE 58TH A&#5111886;UAL ASSEMBLY 73
The Ministerial Aid Committee has been granted the authority to make
any necessary changes in the requirements and bene&#6684777;ts of the Minis
terial Aid Fund as the needs of the Fund and the ministry would necessi
tate for the advancement of the work.
Therefore, your Committee is faced with an ever-increasing responsi
bility in the care of our ministers as they become incapacitated by age
or disease. The U. S. Census Bureau statistics reveal that one person
out of 11 is 65 or older. This ratio will apply on the same average to
our ministerial force, which means that our list of older ministers will
continue to increase.
&#4456565;e to the limitations of the Ministerial Aid Fund and to facilitate the
work of the Committee in maintaining records of the ministry and their
activities, the Committee has decided that it is necessary to make changes
in the Requirements, and Bene&#6684777;ts of the Ministerial Aid Fund, there
fore, the Ministerial Aid Committee respectfully requests the approval
of this 58th Annual Assembly for the Committee to make the neces
sary changes and print them in the Assembly Minutes.
SECTION II

AID DEPARTMENT
1. Purpose of the Ministerial Aid Department
That the purpose of this Ministerial Aid Depar&#7602285;ent is to provide a
bene&#6684777;t fund to be used to aid the ministry in case of total permanent
disability caused by sickness, old age, accident or otherwise; to assist
in the burial and other expenses in the event of death; and to provide
a monthly allo&#7602285;ent for all ministers who have quali&#6684777;ed for retirement.
2. Limited to licensed ministers and lay-employees at General
Headquarters
That this ministerial aid be limited to licensed ministers in good stand
ing in the Church of God of Prophecy, including Bishops, preaching

at least three months.
3. What is Ministerial Work?
Ministerial work is understood as the work of ordained Bishops,
preaching Deacons, Evangelists, male or female, who are called of God
to preach His Word with power and anointing of the Holy Ghost, and
who serve the Church of God of Prophecy as overseers, secretaries, pas
tors, and evangelists, feeding the flock of God and building up the Church
of God. This does not mean the duties of a regular church officer such
as deacon, band leader, clerk and treasurer, V. L. B. leader, Sunday
School Superintendent or other local church workers.
4. Authority of the Committee
The Ministerial Aid Committee working under the appointment and
authority of the Annual Assembly of the Church of God of Prophecy, re

crease or discontinue payment of any death claim to bene&#6684777;ciaries of full
time or part-time ministers and disability allotments to disabled min
isters and allotments to retired ministers.
SECTION III
Group No. 1
Group Number One is that group of ministers in the Church of God
of Prophecy in the United States who are under appointment by the
General Overseer or state overseers and who are loyal to the standard
requirements for all ministers and devote their full time to the preach
ing of the Word of God, feeding the flock of God, evangelizing, and
all other responsibilities and duties which go with being a minister in
the Church of God of Prophecy and who hold no other job, business or
profession which would in the least hinder them from ful&#6684777;lling their full
duties to their calling, profession and appointment as a minister in the
Church of God of Prophecy. All who are evangelists in this group must
hold at least twelve, two-week revivals or enough revivals of one-week
length to make the equivalent of twelve, two-week revivals. Such full
time licensed ministers in and working for the Church of God of Proph
ecy, who have completed three months of full-time ministry wi&#7077996; be
eligible for one thousand ($1,000.00) dollars death bene&#6684777;t without cost
to the minister, payable from the Ministerial Aid Fund at the said min
ister's dea&#7602280; to the bene&#6684777;ciary as a gift and only if funds are avail
able. When said minister has completed &#6684777;ve years of full-time min
istry the $1,000.00 death bene&#6684777;t will be automatically increased to $1,500.00
payable from the Ministerial Aid Fund at said minister's death to the
surviving spouse as a gift and only if funds are available. If no spouse
survives then said bene&#6684777;t will be limited to $1,000.00.

requirements for all ministers, who devote at least half of their time
to the preaching of the Word of God, evangelizing and other duties and
responsibilities, calling and appointments, which go with being a min
ister in the Church of God of Prophecy, and who hold a job to supple
ment their income for a livelihood. All who are evangelists in this group
must hold at least six, two-week revivals or enough revivals of one
week length to make the same equivalent. Such part-time licensed min

payable &#3866726;rom the Ministerial Aid Fund at the said minister's death, to
the bene&#6684777;ciary as a gift and only if funds are available. When said
minister has completed &#6684777;ve years of full-time ministry and said min
ister does not receive more than $150.00 a month from the Church, the
$500.00 would automatically increase to $1,000.00 payable from the Min
isterial Aid Fund at said minister's death to the surviving spouse as a
gift and only if funds are available. If no spouse survives then said
bene&#6684777;t will be limited to $500.00.

state overseer to fu&#7471214;ish the Committee with a list of all their appointees,

a full or part-time minister.

Report of the Sunday School Orphanage and
Tomlinson Memorial School Board of Directors
To the 58th Annual General Assembly of the Churches of God of Prophecy,
greetings:
We, the Board of Directors of the Sunday School Orphanage, Inc. and
the Tomlinson Memorial School, Inc., wish to express our appreciation
to our wonderful people of the local churches in each state and count&#7471225;
for your loyal cooperation and splendid con&#7602290;ibutions to the orphanage
and school during the year 1962-63. We feel, in all sincerity, that our
state overs&#6619237;rs, state secretaries, pastors, superintendents and Sunday
Schools have gladly given their support, thus enabling a great work to be
rendered by the Sunday School Orphanage through another year.
The Sunday School Orphanage has supported a peak enrol&#7077997;ent of 70
boys and girls full time and 30 boys and &#6750313;rls p&#6357106;t time. So, 100 children
have been given full &#6357102;d part-time support through 1962-63. Sixty-eight of
these (&#7602280;e max&#6881389;um number allowed by the State of Tennessee in our
existing facilities) lived in the two homes on Wildwood Avenue and two
homes on the orphanage farm, Nor&#7602280; L&#6619237; Highway, Cleveland, Te&#7209070;es
see. Two Negro boys are being fully supported in Durham, Nor&#7602280; Caro
lina. Part-time support was given to &#7602280;ir&#7602297; children in an orphanage op
erated by Brother K. Vijayaratnam, overseer of South India. The chil
dren in the homes there come from Church homes in India. Brother
Vijayara&#7602286;am expresses his thankfulness for the help given by the S&#7667822;
day School Orphanage in caring for the children there. They were formerly
housed in a bamboo home that was thatched with palmetto leaves. &#5505128;is
home was destroyed by &#6684777;re sometime ago, resulting in a total loss of
the home along with all their clo&#7602280;ing, except what they were wearing,
and their cooking utensils. They now live in two rented homes with
18 boys in one home and 12 girls &#6881390; another. &#5505128;ese homes are operated
in the name of the Church of God of Prophecy. The children attend pub
lic schools. &#5505128;e Indian gove&#7209183;ent has given 1,000 yards of land for
&#7602280;e orphanage work there. Financial aid would be granted by the gov
e&#7209183;ent if Church doc&#7602290;ine were not taught the children. However, the
South India overseer will not consent to re&#6684786;ain from teach&#6881390;g the boys
and girls Church doc&#7602290;ine in order to get &#7602280;is &#6684835;nancial aid from the gov
ernment. We feel he is to be hi&#6750312;ly commended for his inte&#6750322;ity for
God and His Church. &#5505128;ese children assist Bro&#7602280;er Vijayara&#7602286;am in
preaching the gospel &#6881390; various places, dis&#7602290;ibuting tracts and other duties
connected with church work. We be&#7077993;eve &#7602280;at our people rejoice with
us in having the privilege of assisting him with the orphanage work

in India. The South India overseer informs us that good used clothing
can be sent to India for &#7602280;e orphanage &#6684786;ee of duty. New clothing would
not be duty free.
The Sunday School Orphanage has the responsibility of underwrit
ing the expenses of the operation of the Tomlinson Memorial School over
and above the income from the boarding and local student tuition. We
feel that we are justi&#6684777;ed in being proud of the achievements of the school.
It has high scholastic standing in the county. All teachers are certi&#6684777;ed
in their &#6684777;eld. &#5505128;e elementary division is accredited with Tennessee
State Department of Education. &#4259948;though our high school division is not
accredited, our graduates who desired to enter college have encountered
no difficulties. At the present time we have a staff of six teachers in
the school: Kendrick Linville, Carol Dupre and Samuel Pharr of the ele
mentary division; Robert Pruitt, Elva Howard and Joe Wossilek of the
high school division. &#5505128;ere was an enrollment of about 100 students in
the 1962-63 term of school. Nine of &#7602280;is number graduated from &#7602280;e
high school.
The &#6684777;nance for the support of the homes and school has been supple
mented, as in recent years, by the coupons and &#7602290;ade stamps sent in by
our members. Also, many people outside the Church have made con&#7602290;i
butions in this way to this cause. School sororities, clubs and even other
churches upon learning of the bene&#6684777;ts of coupons and trade stamps to
the Sunday School Orphanage have gladly con&#7602290;ibuted stamps and coupons.
&#5505128;is year some of the cash redemption of certain coupo&#7209075; was cut back
but in spite of this the board can report an increase over the previous year.
Approximately $20,000.00 in cash and items for the homes and school
w�e redeemed during the last year. With trade stamps and coupo&#7209075;
we have been able to get such items as pianos, a station wagon, a truck,
school bus, food freezers, refrigerators, cooking stoves, washing machine,
clothes dryer, sew&#6881390;g machine, many electrical appliances and other house
hold items. At the present we are near completion of a project for an
other school bus to be redeemed with S & H trade stamps. The Gold
Bond Stamps and Betty Crocker coupons (General Mills) are being ac
cumulated to apply to the cost of building a new home to replace the
old two-story frame building on North Lee Highway. Top Value Stamps
are being accumulated to get new complete beds for some of the homes.
Many other different kinds of stamps and coupons are being saved for
different projects for the homes. There is no end to what can be done
in �iffer&#6619246;t projects for the orphanage with these coupons and &#7602290;ade
stamps coming in from neighbors and friends. &#5505128;e board is very grate
ful for this· response and feels that an expression of thanks is due • the
coupon boosters in the local churches.. These workers were selected by
the churches after the General Assembly last year accepted a recom
mendation of the Questions and Subjects Committee report that such be
appointed in the local churches to give
•
special emphasis to &#7602280;is work.
(Section 6, Questions and Subjects Committee, 57&#7602280; Annual Assembly.)
We would like to urge those not yet participating in this work to begin
now. It is indeed a blessing to our efforts to help our boys and girls.
Shortly after the General Assembly &#6881390; September, 1962, we began con
struction of an addition to the Davis Home on North Lee Highway. This
addition consisting of two large bedrooms, bathroom, in&#6684777;rmary and a
recreation room was built for $10,000.00 . &#5505128;is addition met the hearty
approval of &#7602280;e state inspectors of &#7602280;e &#4456549;partment of Public Welfare
of the State of Tennessee. It enabled &#3014754;s to abandon the leased home on
Wildwood Avenue, known as the Metzner House, which had been used to

84 MINUTES OF THE 58TH ANNUAL ASSEMBLY
house some of the children. The state had refused to recognize this place
as acceptable for a home for children. The children and houseparents,
W&#6357106;ren and Theresa Covey, were &#7602290;a&#7209075;ferred to the Davis Home on North
Lee Highway where the addition had been made. &#5505128;is made it possible
to relieve Omer and Golda Davis as regular houseparents and use them
as relief houseparents, thus enabling us to meet further requirements
of the Depar&#7602285;ent of Public Welfare and resulted in our being able to
get a fully accredited license from the state to operate our orphanage.
For sometime prior to this we had operated on a temporary license with
the understanding that we meet minimum requirements in a speci&#6684777;c time.
The Sunday School Orphanage received a commendation from the Senior
Child Welfare consultant for &#7602280;e &#6684777;ne progress made. &#5505128;is progress has
been made possible by the backing of our people ev&#6619250;ywhere in &#7602280;e
Churches of God in supplying means and their prayers.
The Board wishes to emphasize the fact that we are grateful to our
able matrons and houseparents for their &#6684777;ne work in the homes. They
are Mr. and Mrs. Ed West, Mr. and Mrs. Omer Davis, Mr. and Mrs. War
ren Covey, Mrs. Annie Bell Forrester, Mrs. Muriel Paden and Mrs. Pearlene
Williams. &#7078061; these are deeply interested in and devoted to the boys
and girls in the homes. They &#6357106;e also very conscientious in keeping the
homes clean and orderly and creating a home atmosphere at every cot
tage. &#5505128;e orphanage operates wi&#7602280; a minimum staff of workers. &#5505128;e
total combined cost of the orphanage and school is only about 65 per cent
of the estimate of the cost of &#7602280;e United States Government to oper
ate homes of this kind.
Many outstanding clothing and food showers have come in from local
churches and states this past year. Lack of space makes it impossible
to list-a&#2949169;1 the donors and gifts. However, it is estimated that over $5,500.00
in gifts of clothing and food came in since the General Assembly in 1962.
We wish to express our thanks to the Kiwanis Club of Cleveland, Ten
nessee, for &#7602280;eir help in assisting the Sunday School Orphanage by pay
ing hospital bills for &#7602280;e tonsilecto&#7143529;es of about &#6684777;fteen of our boys
and girls. This was a voluntary act on their part. We feel their consid
eration and interest in our program for needy children merit not only
the appreciation of the Board of Directors but of this entire General
Assembly.
We are grateful to the Shriners for assistance given to two of our chil
dren in the Crippled Children's Hospital in Lexington, Kentucky. One
of our boys was &#6750313;ven correctional &#7602290;eatment for curvature of the spine.
One of &#7602280;e girls had been horribly burned when small, before co&#7143529;ng
to the orphanage. She was accepted for trea&#7602285;ent in the hospital at Lex
ington. Plastic surgery and other correctional adjus&#7602285;ents were made.
Both children would likely have been handicapped and crippled for life
without these services.
Too, our appreciation is due the civic-minded people of Cleveland, Ten
nessee, in &#7602280;at many have given mea&#7209075; to make it possible for our boys
and girls in &#7602280;e homes to have a full year's membership for the last
three years in the Young Men's Christian Association. They have the
use of the excellent recreational facilities at the Y at certain times each
week. Our children attend the Y. M. C. A. on a segregated basis-the
girls at times when only girls attend and the boys at times when only
boys attend.

MINUTES OF THE 58TH ANNUAL ASSE&#5046338;LY 85
&#5505128;e State of Tennessee Depar&#7602285;ent of Public Welfare requires that each
of our boys and girls be given a physical check-up once a year and
have certain shots and immunizations. This ordinarily would be a very
costly affair. However, Dr. and Mrs. Stanley 0. Pettit and staff have
donated almost all their work free of charge in these matters for the past
two years. This has meant a saving of several hundreds of dollars to
the orphanage.
We feel this Assembly could best express their feeling to the Kiwanis,
Shriners, &#4456562;. and Mrs. Pettit and staff and the civic-minded citizens of
Cleveland by giving a standing ovation of appreciation.
We have no choice but to plan on building a new home to replace the
two-story frame building on North Lee Highway. The existing home is un
acceptable to the state inspectors to be continued for use as a home for
boys. &#5505128;e Orphanage Board hopes to begin construction on a one-story
brick cottage next spring that will care for about eighteen to twenty
children. The materials and even the labor to build the home can be paid
for entirely with coupons and trade stamp collections that come in.
The boys on the farm have set out about 11,000 pine trees that will
provide pulpwood for an additional means of income &#6881390; years to come.
Also, we now have a &#6684777;ne young orchard of about three hundred trees
and grapevines on the farm. Every effort is being made to supply means
of desirable recreation, education, food, clothing, shelter and spiritual guid
ance and training for the boys and girls in our charge.
In conclusion, we, your Orphanage Committee, would like to say again,
thank you for your loyal support and interest in the homes and school.
We have to, from time to time, reject needy cases where applica&#7602281;ons
have been made for entrance of children into the homes because of lack
of room or because of their being ineligible. We are making every ef
fort to render our services in &#7602280;e capacity to be of the best interest with
the means and facilities we have. We would like to extend to all mem
bers and friends a hearty invitation to visit the homes and school when
they have opportunity. We solicit your prayers and support for &#7602280;e Sun
day School Orphanage and Tomlinson Memorial School.

3:55 p.m.-Committee No. 1, Questions and Subjects, presented several
sections of its report for consideration. Section one was held over for
further discussion at a later time in the Assembly, and other sections
were accepted at this time. The entire report is given as it was &#6357091;
cepted on Monda y of the Assembly. In appreciation of his faithful serv
ices to the Church, the Assembly gave a standing ovation to the Gen
eral Overseer.
4:30 p.m.-The subject of the message by C. T. Davidson was "The
Zeal of the Lord of Hosts Will Cause the Church To Move Forward." Ex
cerpts from &#7602280;e message are given below.

86 MINUTES OF THE 58TH ANNUAL ASSEMBLY
"Zeal me&#6357102;s eagerness in pursuing a course or object of work. In work
ing for the Church, our zeal automatically should come from our contact
wi&#7602280; the Lord. You don't do much work for the Church unless you
have God wi&#7602280; you. It is the known truth &#7602280;at the Church has to move
forward. We have to &#6684777;nd a soul wherever he is and &#7602280;at soul n&#6619237;ds
to be baptized and taken into the Church of God and taught the principles
and doc&#7602290;ines of &#7602280;e Church. If the Lord didn't mean business, He
would not have given us this mission. We have to be in contact with the
man who organized the Church. Before we are able to promote any
&#7602280;ing, we must know what we are trying to promote. It has to become
a part of us and we have to be thoroughly convinced before we can
convince our fellowman.
"Every time we preach a message our whole congregation is not bap
tized in the spirit of that message. Sometimes you preach the same mes
sage six or eight times at your local church before everyone of your
congregation seems to know what you are talking about. Everyone can't
understand a message that we have to deliver just because we have
the inspiration to deliver it. We must know how to reach every mem
ber of the congregation. We haven't learned it all. We are still trying.
It is perfectly possible for religious people to have uninformed zeal. Their
zeal is honest. They do the best they can. &#5505128;ey just don't know. We
may not always understand the proper approach.
"Sometimes we have zeal to hold us right where we are now. Some
times in our zeal the young people think the old people have no place.
We all have our place. We can't afford to lose any. You may be a
leader, but if you ca&#7209070;ot be the leader, follow close and help the lead
er. That is the- proper type of zeal. We have to move with the trend
of the dispensation. Unless we do, the Church cannot move. This is
the Churc&#6815802; age, and we have to move with it. The Jewish people got
behind the trend of the time and when the Lord came just as He said
He was coming, they would not accept Him. They were not properly
informed. Nicodemus was a great religious man, but Jesus had to tell
him three times a very simple message. We must keep in the spirit of
the dispensation we are in. Don't sacrifice any of the fundamentals of
the Church.
"Uninformed zeal may have as much driving thrust as one that is in
formed, but they may not be driven by the same motor. Sometimes
through strife or emulation some people have zeal. Some ministers want
to do it just to show that it can be done. Paul condemned the Jewish
people for getting out of the h&#7471311;ess. Jesus said, 'Why do ye also trans
gress the commandment of God by your tradition?' A certain amount
of tradition is very necessary. There are fundamentals of the Bible that
we could not change and would not do it if we could, but when any tra
dition hampers the forward progress, something needs to be done about
it. Some of us try to pastor churches like we pastored twenty years
·ago. But the way we pastored then may not suffice today. We have
things to face that we did not have then. Forty years ago how many of
us saw jet airplanes? Now we have rockets and people talk about go
ing to &#7602280;e moon. The Church has to keep apace of the progress. She
must master problems that challenge her. The Church seeks spiritual
truths that promote her. She is not fearful of traditions of o&#7602280;er organi
zations. There are traditions and ideas rampant in the world today among
wonderful Christian people. &#5505128;ey say it doesn't matter which church
they belong to.

MINUTES OF THE 58TH ANNUAL ASSEMBLY 87
"When the Church gets through wi&#7602280; &#6815965;s world, anybody can have
it that wants it. The Lord is coming back after His own, but we have
the world to reach some way. We don't know all the methods that are
going to be incorporated in reaching the world, but there is no ques
tion about this. It is going to take the zeal of the Lord of hosts to do this.
In many places people are incorporated against the forward pro&#6750322;ess of the
Church. &#5505128;ey do everything they can against it because they don't know.
They have an uninformed zeal. We can't dislike people like that. You
can't do any&#7602280;ing against the truth, but for it. Let them talk about you.
It won't hurt you. Every time the gold is rubbed it shines a little bright
er. Let folks rub you. You will be just as bad off as they are if you
&#7471221;b back. If we are going to preach the gospel of Jesus Christ we have
to be &#6684777;lled with His zeal. How many feel satis&#6684777;ed to let your church hang
in the balance and never &#6750322;ow year in and year out? Either our zeal
is subsiding or we haven't gotten God with us exactly as we should.
Jesus has promised an increase to the Church. It has to increase if it is
going to cover the world."

"God's healing power is just as real as it ever has been. I am here to
be a testimony. One day everyone in the whole world gave Bro&#7602280;er
Lynn up, but God looked down upon me and saw fit to heal this body
of mine. One day I was in the living room. My wife thought the Lord
was ready for me. We began to pray and talk to G&#7274596;. It seemed like
we couldn't get any victory. It seemed like life was going to leave my
body. Each moment seemed closer to death. I told the Lord that if He

88 MINUTES OF THE 58TH ANNUAL ASSEMBLY
wanted me, I w&#6357107; ready to go. We w&#6619250;e standing on divine healing.
My brothers came in and told my wife she had better get a doctor. I am
not against doctors, but I am preaching that the power of God is real.
I began to feel life leave me. I looked up to God and said, 'If you will
just speak the word, I can be healed.' The power of God fell, and when
I came to myself I was shouting the victory.
"Later, my wife was in the hospital. &#5505128;ey said I could not go in be
cause she was so bad. The doctor gave her &#6684777;fteen minutes to live. I
walked off to the side and found a little room. I wasn't concerned with
those around me. I began to pray and talk to God. It seemed like it
was just a few moments until all &#7602280;e windows of heaven opened. It seemed
like a voice told me she would be all right. The doctor told me he didn't
&#7012462;ow what had happened, but that she would be all right. Healing is
real to those who believe it. I don't care what kind of an in&#6684777;rmity you
have, God is able to heal it. That is what God did for me, and that
is why I can stand here tonight and tell this whole congregation that God's
healing power is real."
7:35 p.m.-The entire congregation stood and prayed a mighty concert
prayer as a prelude to the healing service.
7:40 p.m.-The·annual healing message was by William H. Josleyn. Be
low are given excerpts from the message.
"I have a testimony similar to that of Brother Lynn. I was raised up
from death about three years ago. I came so close to death that I had
joy more &#7602280;an I have ever had since I have been a Christian. My heart
was so &#6684777;lled with the joy of the Lord until I would praise the Lord to
the very top of my voice. It seemed there was so much more that should
come out, but I could not get it out. It seemed that I was at the very
brink about to cross over. I came to the point that I wanted to cross
over and be with the Lord. It was not as I thought dea&#7602280; might be. It
was a &#6750322;eat and wonderful joy.
"In the Scripture we read that Jesus was on His way to a certain
house to heal a man's daughter. The Bible says they thronged Him. &#5505128;ose
who throng the Lord are in close contact with God but never receive
anything for the healing of their bodies. There are people in our Gen
eral Assembly who have needs and are sick and afflicted, but they never
get healed because they do nothing more than just go along in the crowd.
&#5505128;ey never seek to touch the Lord. There was a multitude of people
following along after the Lord who did not expect to be healed. You
are going to have to do more than just throng Him. You are going to
have to do more than cry and shout with the crowd. You will have
to put forth a special effort to reach the Lord.
"&#5701736;ile this large multitude was going down &#7602280;e way, there was this
woman who had an issue of blood twelve years. &#5701736;en that woman touched
&#7602280;e Lord, she did it purposely. She &#6684777;nally worked her way through
the crowd and got to the place where she could just touch the hem of His
garment. Do you know why she had such a struggle getting to the place
where she could touch Him? It was because of the throng of people
who did not expect anything. The Lord immediately noticed the dif
ference between that touch and those just bumping along. God will rec
ognize every effort that you put forth to come in contact with Him. Th&#6619309;
Lord said nothing of those &#7602280;at thronged Him, but immediately He felt
virtue go out of His body and asked who touched Him.

MI&#5111893;TES OF THE 58TH AN&#5111893;AL ASSEMBLY 89
"This woman said within herself that if she could only touch Him she
would be made whole. The kind of faith that will heal your body will
speak to you and it will set goals. Before she ever took a step through
the crowd she had what it took within her bosom to get her healing.
But her faith without her works would have been dead. You may have
to lay some requirements upon yourself. Whatever your faith tells you
to do, do that and you will receive your reward.
"When Ananias and Sapphira had done this great sin and fear came
upon the Church and wonderful miracles were performed the people be
came so stirred that they brought their sick folks in cots. They believed
that if they could get them in the shadow of Peter they would be made
whole. They were members of the body of Christ. They believed if they
would put them out there where the shadow would pass over their body
they would be made whole, and that is exactly what happened."
At this point Brother Josleyn called for all the ministers to stand. Then
he asked those who were in need of healing to reach out and touch
the clothing of a minister standing nearby. The presence of the Lord
was manifested in a great way. Messages in tongues were given and
the interpretations followed. In this wonderful atmosphere as the saints
shouted and rejoiced, the speaker asked those present to humble them
selves in prayer. At the close of this mighty prayer, A. B. Wood&#7471221;ff led
the congregation in singing "Reach Out and Touch the Lord" as prep
arations were made for the healing service. Lines were formed on the
main floor and the three platforms. One thousand four hundred twenty
eight were prayed for and anointed with oil. One thousand four hun
dred ninety-eight handkerchiefs were anointed for those who could not
be present.
9:15 p.m.-&#5505128;e Crown Spiritual Singers sang "The Old Time Religion."
The congregation sang "What a Friend We Have in Jesus" led by Elwood
Matthews.
9:25 p.m.-&#5505128;e evangelistic message was by Willard Boyles. She used
Jeremiah 2:32 as her text, and her subject was "Forgotten." At the
close of the message Eddie Jacobs sang "The Sinner's Dream" as the
invitation was given. A large number came to seek the Lord, and seven
were saved, eight sancti&#6684777;ed and thirteen received the Holy Ghost.
Saturday, September 14
6:00 a.m.-J. C. Trammell directed the sunrise prayer meeting. Fol
lowing the song service, prayer was offered for the requests and op

90 MINUTES OF THE 58TH ANNUAL ASSEMBLY
9:07 a.m.-Duane and Jo Nell Ada&#7143539; sang "Love Is Why" and "The
Touch of His Hand." &#5505128;e Three T's sang "Dear Jesus, Abide With Me."
9:22 a.m.-"Having Done All, Stand for God and His Church," mes
sage by C.R. Payne. A portion of the message is given below.
The speaker read Ephesians 6:10-17 and said, "God needed something
to be done. He looked over at His Son for this job. He wanted Jesus
to take upon Him the form of flesh. He accepted this responsibility and
did what the Lord wanted Him to do. Finally, the hour came that He
was to be offered. He prayed as the cross stared Him in the face. "Never
theless, thy will, not mine be done.' Jesus did what He came into this
world to do. He said, 'I have &#6684777;nished.' &#5505128;e Apostle Paul, when he was
&#6881492;ishing his course, was old and could not do much, but he said, 'I
have fought a good &#6684777;ght, I have &#6684777;nished my course, I have kept the faith.'
"A dear saint of God, Sister Mullins, decided it was time for her to
depart. She paid her C. P. M. A. membership and Emergency Dollar.
She didn't want to leave this world and not have her dues paid up to
the dear old Church of God. I know it is not an ironclad rule, but my
message is 'Having Done All.' A. J. Tomlinson did all he knew to do.
He led &#7602280;e Church for forty years and went on to be with the Lord. &#4653167;d
gave us another man. Now he will do all he is to do. God has saved,
sancti&#6684777;ed and given you the Holy Ghost and a vision of the Church of
God. Don't stop there. It is your move. You won't have it all done if
you stop there. Let's do something for God, and when you come down
to dea&#7602280;, you can look up and tell the Lord you have done all you knew
to do.
"It means a lot to check and see if you have done everything for God.
If you haven't done all you were supposed to do, what about taking a
new &#6750322;ip on life and look up to the Heavenly Father and say, '&#4653167;d,
you have spared my life through this year. You have given me food and
raiment, and you have helped me along, but I came a little short. But
if you will let me live until I get back home, you can count on me next
year.'
"Webster said standing was cease to move. &#5505128;ere are people who
have the tongue and the letter and haven't got one spark of salvation.
&#5505128;ey are carried about by every wind of doctrine. Another de&#6684777;nition
is to remain &#6684777;rm. If you are guilty of one point, you are guilty of all.
You have to pay tithes, live right, and treat your neighbor right. If
you are busy doing what you are supposed to do, you won't have time
to run everybody's business. Not many of us have given our blood,
but our people have suffered. God have mercy on us today who have
everything and say anything about these blessed old men who have
trod the way before us. They did all they could with what they had to
do with. God is holding us responsible to do more today."
10:02 a.m.-The White Wing Publishing House program was directed by

MINUT&#4522067; OF THE 58TH AN&#5111893;AL ASSEMBLY 91
monies contained in the paper. He mentioned that this year marks
the fortieth year of publication of the White Wing Messenger. He dis
played the &#6684777;rst volume, containing the &#6684777;rst issue dated September 15,
1923. A. J. Tomlinson served as editor for twenty years until his death
in 1943, and M. A. Tomlinson has served as editor since that time. Three

son, L. A. Moxley and Robert F. Wright. He also introduced K. Vijaya
ratnam who edits an edition of the White Wing in some of the native

church. &#4784238; the church he pastors at Waycross, Georgia, with one hun
dred twenty-one members, every family is receiving the &#5701736;ite Wing.

the Lord."

tioned the things &#7602280;at he felt the Sunday School literature could help

children in the way of the Lord; (2) Help Christians grow in &#6750322;ace;
(3) Help our members to grow in capacity for se&#7471222;ice to the Church;
(4) Help our Sunday School and local church grow in number; and (5)
Help lead the u&#7209075;aved to a saving knowledge of Christ. He felt that
dedication and consecration on the part of the Sunday School teachers
would motivate them to be qualified to properly use the literature as a
help to the local church.

"Love Is Why."
11:15 a.m.-R. 0. Covey spoke concerning the tract program in the

tion throughout the year. He stressed the importance of keeping the tract
boxes neat and well-&#6684777;lled and of getting the literature into the hands
of the people who need it. He suggested that those who are waiting
for a more important work in the Church might well spend their time
doing the little things that their hands &#6684777;nd to do, such as distributing
tracts. Our work in the Lord is not in vain, and if we cast our bread
upon the waters and have faith in God, He will help us to realize the
bene&#6684777;t of it somewhere along the way. He recommended the practice of
enclosing tracts with our personal correspondence and distributing them
as we travel.
11:29 a.m.-H. E. Vernon gave a report of his work with the braille
writer.
"Several years ago I was appointed pastor at Poplar Camp, and I
found that we had a lady who was blind, deaf and could not talk. I be
gan to consider this lady and the thought of having the same care one

92 MINUTES OF THE 58TH ANNUAL ASSEMBLY
for another came to me. Of about a hundred members, I had one who was
not getting the same care. I began to pray and ask God to make a
way that I could reach this member. In visiting this home I found that
the daughter could talk to her mother by making impressions in her
hand. I told her I would like to be able to communicate with her moth
er myself. The thought came to me about braille. I had not yet seen
any braille or a braille machine. A lady came to visit her. with a braille
writer. I got permission to take the machine home that night. I sat
up all night &#7602290;ying to write the same dots they had written. By day
break I had a very simple letter written. I went to her home and she
was able to read it.
"After several months I was able to write a reasonable letter in braille.
It was then that I began to write every Sunday's message to this blind
lady. I still send her the messages even though I don't pastor that
particular church. The thought came to me that surely there were others
throughout the Church &#7602280;at could be blessed. Through the Publishing
House and the White Wing Messenger I began to &#6684777;nd out that there were
many who were blind, and I began to write to them. I remember a young
In&#6553705;an boy from Eagle Butte, South Dakota. After writing three or
four messages, Brother Peter wrote me and said he had a pamphlet that
he would like for me to rewrite &#6881390; braille. I told him I would do my
best. When it arrived, it was the Body of Christ course. It took a hun
dred pages of braille, but the letters I received were great pay for what
I was doing.
"&#5112020;e lady left and we had to give up the writer we were using. I was
able to purchase a little Japanese brailler and used it until it wore out.
I appealed to the Publishing House. &#5505128;ey purchased this braille writer.
We have a braille display over at the Publishing House in the main
lobby. You can go over and look at the work we are doing. Pray that
God will help us to reach many through this method of writing to the blind.

such as murder, aggravated assault, robbery, burglary, larceny and theft.
&#5505128;e thing that troubles me is that &#6684777;fty-&#6684777;ve per cent of all these crimes
are committed by people under the age of thirty-five. More than half
of the people over &#6684777;fteen years of age drink intoxicating beverages. Com
munism has promised in no uncertain terms &#7602280;at our grandchildren will
be under Communistic rule. Churches throughout our land are denying
the power of God, the blood of Christ and the vir&#6750313;n birth. By l&#7274607;k
ing at all this, we can see that the world is far from being what Jesus
shed His blood for it to be. We have problems, not only in the world, but
in the Church also.
"The church at Corinth had problems. They had preachers' religion.
&#5505128;ey were taking each other to the courts and having problems with
marriage and divorce and long or short hair. Paul gave them the solu
tion to the entire problem. They were to watch, to stand &#6684777;rm in the
faith and to behave like men. What could he have been talking about
when he said watch? He could have been saying that we should watch
for a chance to do something good. Look for an opportunity to do some
thing good for somebody. The Boy Scout Organization taught us every
day that we were to do at least one good deed. If the Boy Scouts can
do it, how about us?
"Stand fast against evil. Behave yourselves like men. A man is an
adult person of some uncommon quali&#6684777;cations, p a r ti c u 1 a r 1 y in &#7602280;e
sense of strength, vigor, or bravery, as distinguished from the weakness,
timidity, or impudence of a boy. The problem that they had at Corin&#7602280;
was simply because they were being childish and narrow-minded. Every
one in the bu&#6881388;d&#7209168; desires to see the Church &#6750322;ow, and eve&#7471225;one has

a way he thinks it can grow. If we aren't careful, we will get an opinion
that there is only one way it can grow. Some people thi&#7209067; that the only
way is organ&#6881402;ation. Others say all we need is spirituality. Other &#7340133;o
ple think the only hope is through education. On the other side peo
ple are saying that Peter and John were ignorant so what we need is
plenty of i&#6750318;orance. Some say the only way is preaching, while others
declare that &#7602280;e o&#7209068;y hope is teaching. Some say we must get sin out
of the Church, and some say we must keep every person we have. All
of these are good, and all of them are necessary. It takes all of them
put together.
"We have a world-wide job, and we must have a vision broad enough
to realize that the customs in our area may differ from those in some
other place. Sometimes as far as we are conce&#7471214;ed, it is • like where
we live all over the world. When I saw Brother Vijayara&#7602286;am when he
had on his Indian attire, it looked funny because it was different from ours.
We look just as crazy to them as they do to us. &#5505128;ese people around
here speaking Spanish sound funny because we don't know what they
are talking about. When they are at home and we go in speak&#6881390;g English,
we sound just as funny as they do. If we are going to meet the chal
lenge, we are going to have to realize that there is more than one set
form.
"Of all the things that look great to us, we have one responsibility,
and that is to go into all the world and preach the gospel. When are
we going to realize, young people, &#7602280;at we are the ones that have bodies
strong enou&#6750312; to go into all the world? &#5505128;e challenge that faces you
today is whether or not you are going to get the message of Jesus Christ
to a lost and dying world." At the close of the message, the congrega
tion sang "Where He Leads Me."
3:54 p.m.-The Specializers sang "I Shall Not Be Moved."
4:00 p.m.-The pro&#6750322;am called for "Something New." &#5505128;is was the in
&#7602290;oduction of the youth magazine, entitled "Youth Life."
The introduction was by Robert F. Wright, with &#7602280;e rocket, YL-1 on
the launching pad. As the count-down began, Hugh Edwards, proj&#6619235;t
engineer, and Elwood Matthews, director of operations, inspected &#7602280;e
missile. Elva Howard, blueprint and desi&#6750318; technician, made last-minute
computatio&#7209075;. Wanda Edwards and Billy Riggs, consultants, joined the
others. At the completion of the .. count-down, an "equipment failure"
prevented &#7602280;e rocket from blasting off, but succeeded in getting the at
tention of the congregation as Elva Howard came to give further in
formation about the new publication.
4:15 p.m.-Thomas Duncan, Manager of the Radio Department, was in
troduced and directed a portion of the program.
The Voice of Salvation Choir, directed by Stanley Wright, sang "Stand
Up for Jesus," and "The Message of His Coming." H. L. Moore, Radio
Minister, spoke concerning the mail response to the program and a new
program entitled "Gems of Devotion." The choir sang "Open Mine Eyes."
One of the owners of radio station XERF Del Rio, Texas, was introduced,
and he spoke briefly. Brother Dunean told of plans to expand the radio
coverage of the program and increasing interest in the Broadcast Record
Club. A special Assembly choir, directed by Stanley Wright, sang "Life
Is a Symphony" and " 'Tis a Glorious Church." The saints shouted and
rejoiced as the last selection was sung.

MINUT&#4522067; OF THE 58TH &#9371811;AL ASSEMBLY 97
5:06 p.m.-Eddie T&#7209167;er presented a skit entitled "The Witless Wit
ness." This portrayed an individual using all the wrong methods in an
effort to talk to a person about salvation. After several minutes of frus
trated "witnessing," the person to whom he was talking slipped away
when the "witless witness" was not paying attention. It demons&#7602290;ated
the need of our young people being trained to effectively witness for
Christ.
5:12 p.m.-&#5505128;e Three T's sang "The Big Boss," and the Songsters sang
"&#5505128;e Old Country Church" and "The Lord &#4456549;&#7077993;vered Me."
5:23 p.m.-A quiz team from Thirty-second and Larkw&#7274607;d in Louis
vi&#7077996;e, Kentucky, competed with another from Oklahoma. Questions from
1 Timothy were asked by Brother Matthews. Both teams were very alert
and exhibited a thorough knowledge of the subject. &#5505128;e contest ended
in a tie, and other states and local churches were given opportunity to
challenge these teams at the next Assembly.
5:40 p.m.-&#5505128;e V. L. B. program was dismissed.
6:03 p.m.-A program of songs by the Spanish people was directed by

for the requests.
6:55 p.m.-Several selections were presented by the Songsters, the Sons
of Harmony, and the Grace Melody Boys.
7:18 p.m.-&#5505128;e annual Saturday evening testimo&#7209081; and praise service
was directed by Ava Stacy and Rebecca Griffin. &#5505128;ese sisters testi&#6684777;ed
and then called for those in certain sections of the building to stand and
testify in unison. Mikey &#3014740;ones and others sang songs and choruses at
intervals.
7:40 p.m.-&#5505128;e Bible Training Camp program was directed by the Super
intendent, &#3014740;ames B. Wright.

port on &#7602280;e school conducted in England this year. &#5505128;irty-seven stu
dents completed the &#6684777;rst term course, and the school was completely
&#6684777;nanced by the tuition of the students. Charles G. Hawkins, Overseer
of England, served as vice-president and A. L. Cooke assisted with the
teaching. The saints in England were very enthusiastic about Bible Train
ing Camp and were grateful for this opportunity to attend. Zeal for
the second session is running high, and the goal has been set for one
hundred students. A. L. Cooke was introduced and sang a B. T. C. song.
8:11 p.m.-Felix Garcia and Naomi Martinez sang "The Sad Sheep."
8:15 p.m.-Brother J. A. Jimenez was called to the platform and the
Spanish delegates came forward and pinned dollar bills to his coat in
honor of his birthday and thirty-two years in the ministry. &#5505128;ey sang
"Happy Birthday" in Spanish and &#7602280;en the entire congregation sang in
&#4522094;glish.

98 MINUT&#4522067; OF THE 58TH ANNUAL ASSEMBLY
8:22 p.m.-"Stretching Out to the Regions Beyond." Message· by James
B. Wright.
"From 2 Corinthians 10:13-16, we lea&#7471214; that our measure, or our line,
is to reach every man .. When a place is reached, it becomes the re
sponsibility of those who have been reached to extend the program on
beyond them. When we are reached with the gospel of the Church of God
message, we not only receive a bene&#6684777;t, but we also receive a responsi
bility to help extend it to someone else. We have our own particular
work to do, but no one man or set of men can do all the teaching. We
are to search for faithful men in the different parts of the world to
whom we may commit this doctrine. We depend on those faithful men
to . teach it unto other people. Paul said that he was a • debtor to the
people, and he said those having the rule must give account. We have
the responsibility to teach this to other faithful men. When these faith
ful men receive it, they owe it to someone else. Paul was a preacher,
apostle and a teacher to the Gentiles. He got &#7602280;at calling from God and
&#7602280;at is why he felt so responsible for carrying it out. We are ministers
of the same Church as Paul. We are not apostles, but we are preachers
and teachers.
"I don't know how much of a vision Peter had of the Church, but
whatever he had, Jesus said His Father revealed it to him. Peter didn't
get this from flesh and blood. He received a divine revelation, but did
he know what he had received? In Matthew 16:22 , we &#6684777;nd this man
with a divine vision rebuking the Lord. &#5505128;is man who had received the
divine revela&#7602281;on of Christ, and maybe of the Church, had fallen immedi
ately in the hand.s of Satan and had become an offense to the Lord. &#5701736;en
we get our own way and hinder instead of help, pull back instead of
push fo&#7471223;ard, it is not because we don't have the vision, but because we
have some&#14483670;g and don't understand what we have. What do you say
about Peter having &#7602280;e keys to the kingdom? He had them a&#7077996; right.
Jesus gave them to him. &#5505128;at meant there was something locked up from
Peter. He had the key, but that didn't mean that he knew what was
in the storehouse. We have the keys to many &#7602280;ings, but having &#7602280;e keys
does not mean we are utilizing those &#7602280;ings. We have the vision, but
if we don't understand what the vision is or &#7602280;e work&#6881390;gs of &#4653167;d, we
may get off on the wrong foot.
"God anoints us to preach the things that are written in the Bible,
but we don't understand what we are preaching. Peter on the day of
Pentecost preached that the Holy Ghost was to them that were afar off,
but when the Lord told h&#6881389; to go obey the vision he preached, he said,
'Not so, Lord.' It is easier to preach something than it is to measure up
to it after you preach it. It is easy for me to preach 'Go ye into all
the world,' but when I have to go into &#7602280;ese countries and carry out this
work, it is a different story. But somebody has to practice what I preach.
The best thing to do is preach and then practice it yourself. Church
of God people, we are trying to &#6684777;nd out what we have. We have it
because God revealed it to us, but we have to study and learn what we
have from God. When we back off from people of other nations and
are not friendly with them because somebody is look&#6881390;g at us, we have
the vision all right, but we don't know what we have. &#5505128;e Bible teaches
us to do the Lord's bus&#6881390;ess and not to entangle ourselves with the
affairs of &#7602280;is life.
"The Church is the pillar and ground of the truth. It supports the
truth. Where I am limited is in the knowledge of the tru&#7602280; which it

MINUTES OF THE 58TH &#5111951;UAL ASSEMBLY 99
supports. The Bible points out that-Jes&#7667827; . was all-wise. But then it
said He increased in wisdom. He knew the things of God, but the thing
He had to learn was how to operate them in the flesh. He had to get
that experience. As He went from victory to victory, He increased in
knowledge and wisdom and stature. He learned better how to carry on
God's pro&#6750322;am in the flesh. He had a knowledge of the program, but He
had an old fleshly body hanging on to Him that He had to put und&#6619250;
subjection so He could carry out the program. When He was twelve
years old, He knew what He should do to represent God. When He was
thirty, He had to act differently and God required more of Him. He was
ready. Why was He ready? Because He had learned how to bring the
fle�h into subjection. Jesus trained Himself to be ready at the proper
time to do whatever God's program called for at that ti&#7209055;e.
"When He walked out there, the spirit led Him.
•
&#5505128;e spirit can -al
ways lead us to churches that are paying the limit and into_ better jobs
and more money and bigger states. If you understand God's pro&#6750322;am,
the spirit will lead you sometimes into some things that are not so easy
to bear. He was led by the spirit into the wilde&#7471214;ess and introduced to
the devil. He didn't yield. He had taught the flesh to be obedient unto
God. &#5505128;e will of the flesh, the desires of the flesh and the pleasures
of the flesh will never carry out the program of the ete&#7471214;al God. &#5505128;ree
years later when Jesus faced the extreme thing, He went to the Fa
ther and said, 'Father, let it pass, if it is your will.' Jesus had &#7602290;ained
the flesh, and He had learned obedience from the things He had suf
fered. He went to the cross and paid the price. He humbled Himself
and became obedient even unto death on the cross. You can't do any
more than that."
9:13 p.m.-The con&#6750322;egation stood and prayed in concert for wisdom,
for more teachers and finance to maintain and extend Bible &#5505138;a&#6881390;ing
Camp into every country.
9:15 p.m.-An offering for the support of Bible Training Camp in other
countries was received as the Barker &#5505138;io sang "O, I Could Sing For
ever." Gerdia Shewmaker sang "Joshua Fit the Battle Around Jericho,"

Choir, directed by Mildred Davis, sang "Oh, Glory, Hallelujah" and "Oh
Lord, I Really Love You."
9:36 p.m.-William H. Brooks gave honorable mention to the top five

9:30 a.m.-Julia Stenmark sang a Swedish song entitled "Gude Lufte."
9:35 a.m.-Antonio Ledezma Soto gave a report of our work in Cuba.
He spoke in Spanish, and his remarks were interpreted by Felix Garcia.
"From October, 1954, when my wife and I arrived in Cuba, until 1957
the Lord gave us rich and great blessings. Many people were saved and
added to the Church. All the liberties and the freedom that we had to
do our work, from &#4456549;cember, 1957, were very much restricted. The na
tional convention of 1960 was very difficult to conduct. The Church was
in jeopardy. They put a committee of defense in front of the church.
We were instructed that at our next convention we would have to start
on &#5505128;ursday and &#6684777;nish at 2:00 o'clock Sunday afternoon. We have nine
churches and fourteen missions. In a place called Pinar Del Rio our
churches have progressed, but the government has been very much against
us and o&#7667826; people &#6357106;e only allowed to attend &#7602295;o times a week.

MI&#5111893;TES OF THE 58TH ANNUAL ASSEMBLY 101
"The missionary committee in 1960 sent us some clothes. This ship
ment took six months from office to office and when they. &#6684777;nally gave
me the order to pick up the things, I had to sign my name, but the official
told me they had already distributed the clothes among the Cuban women.
I was able to take my wife out of Cuba in November. The months went
by and our activities were normal, only that everything we said and did
was watched. We had liberty to preach, but it was quite limited. We
could not &#6750313;ve the spirit the freedom it should have because within the
con&#6750322;egation there is someone listening and he can interpret wrongly.
In the last &#7602290;ips I made I was accompanied by one of the officials of the
government.
"In that beautiful country the Church of God has extended and is known
for its auxiliaries, its great organization and discipline. Other independ
ent Pentecostals are preaching practically the things the Church of God
teaches because through the printing the Church has done, we have
supplied their needs for their churches. In the printing shops all the
work we did was edited. We need to pray much for Cuba because there
is great resistance to the message at this time and to the power of God.
But the Lord has never lost a ·battle. I know that over there our brethren
had a glorious convention even disregarding all inte&#7471214;al difficulties. We
must &#7602290;ust the Lord &#7602280;at He will give the ministers inspiration so that
they will not lose the harmony, unity and victory. For a year and a half
I was negotiating my departure. There were many difficulties and ex
cuses. Every stranger that leaves the country can take three coats, three
shirts, three pairs of slacks, one pair of shoes, two pairs of socks, one hat
and one coat and everything else that he owns has to be left for &#7602280;e
government.
"Brethren, I invite you folks that participate in the liberties and that
have the opportunities that the members in Cuba do not have, please do
all you can to liberate them from the systems that are now operating in
that .country. Pray for our brethren over there in Cuba. You may not
know them, and they may not know you, but they glorify the God that
you worship. You do not have to watch the doors and windows of your
church. You do not have to watch the one sitting next to you in church.
Sometimes in Sunday School we have to sing the songs of the revolution
so our teachers and our churches will not be closed down."
10:16 a.m.-The choir from Trion, Georgia, sang "He Lives."
10:25 a.m.-Gabriel Montijo, Jr. gave a report of the work in Puerto
Rico.
"Puerto Rico means 'rich port,' and it is also known as the Island of
Enchantment. Hawaii and Puerto Rico are very similar. The island is
one hundred miles long and thirty-&#6684777;ve miles wide, yet there are more
than two million people living on the island. It is a model of progress,
materia&#7077996;y speaking. There is unity among the Protestant people, .and
the Pentecostal groups outnumber the orthodox Protestant churches by
a large majority. One independent Pentecostal church has over twenty
thousand members. We have good fellowship with them. In Puerto Rico
we have what they call watch night services, usually one a month. This
service runs until midnight and on all night. Our local churches have
services nightly-three hundred sixty-&#6684777;ve nights a year. Many of our
people have to walk .several miles, but they. are usually on time to par
ticipate in the service. The people in Puerto Rico certainly believe in
holiness. Our pastors expect the people to walk the chalk line. The peo-

102 MINUT&#4522067; OF THE 58&#5505096; ANNU&#4259916; ASSEMBLY
pie have to walk softly or they will lose their testimony. ·Another church
will not take them if they have a bad testimony, so they are very care-
fu� _ about preserving their testimony. •
"We had our second youth camp this year and it was a tremendous
success. We placed emphasis on sp&#6881394;ituality. One whole day our youth
camp was in a fast. &#5505128;ere were about sixty campers ·and the campers
and the staff fasted unto the Lord. That night we had two -or three saved
and thirteen received the Holy Ghost. We have thirteen organized churches
and four missions. These missions could be organized, but we don't have
the ministers. We organized one new church this year, and we are try
ing to get our work to be self-sustaining. The convention passed this
year that we will purchase all of our Sunday School literature. All of
our people who are able will _ be subscribing to the Spa&#7209065;sh White Wing
Messenger."
10:20 a.m.-Charles Hawkins spoke briefly concerning the work in Eng
land. A portion of his remarks is given below:
"&#5505128;is country has very close ties with England. Much of our govern
ment, legislation and ways of doing things in this country were derived
from England. In England you have complete freedom of speech. You
can talk on any subject from religion to Communism. There is no segre
gation in England. No man is discriminated against in any way. We
all live right along together. England is strictly made up of many na
tions of &#7602280;e world. Immigrants have come there from the_ different parts
of, the world,. especia&#7077996;y our Church people. Our biggest work is made
up of Jamaicans. The wonderful thing is that they didn't forget the
Church, but they continued to believe and practice and teach the Church
just like they had learned it at home. We have people from Cyprus and
·Greece who are members of the Church. In England we do not think
of these as Greek churches, or English churches, or Jamaican churches.
&#5505128;ey are all just Church of God. The people who are members of the
Church do not think of the&#7143539;elves as being a mission &#6684777;eld. &#5505128;ey are
just as concerned about reaching the world with the message of Christ as
you are.
"We have thirty-three churches, ten of which were organized since
the last Assembly, and they raised a missionary offering of $5,610.97. Of
this amount, $2,244.40 was deposited with the General Treasurer for sup
port of other mission &#6684777;elds. Wherever the Church has reached with the
message of Christ, that &#6684777;eld should feel obligated to reach the world."
10:48 a.m.-The Califo&#7471214;ia B. T. C. Choir sang "Win the Lost at Any
Cost."
11:05 a.m.-"World Missions," message by A. S. Moss. Excerpts from
the message are included below:
"When our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ, worked on earth, He· did
not make His work world missions. It was co&#6684887;ned to Palestine. He sent
the disciples only to the lost &#2162796;heep of the house of Israel when He was
training them. This was a limited commission, but after He died on the
cross, He gave the commission to go into all the world and preach the
gospel to every creature. He said that repentance and remission from
sin may be preached among all nations. But He told them to tarry at

"Whosoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved. But how
shall they call on Him of whom they have not heard? People cannot
believe a thing unless they have heard it. People will not call on any
one whom they have not believed. How could they hear without. a preach
er? This is a universal message, a universal mission, a universal pro
gram for the whole world. This gospel has to be preached. A tract or
some printed message may be a great assistance, but according to the
divine design of the Lord, it is to be preached. This is the way the dis
ciples did it. They went and preached Christ. This is not for angels to
preach, otherwise the one that came to Cornelius would have preached it,
but he sent for Peter. God's plan is to use human instrumentality to
preach this gospel.
"The commission of the Church is to preach; the commission is to go.
That is why we are putting out the efforts like we are putting . out here
this morning to prosecute missions. The Holy Ghost has given us won

Through the Holy Ghost we can feel the efficacy of Jesus Christ all over

2:07 p.m.-Betty Womack sang "Unto Him."
2:12 p.m.-"Meeting Our Obligations to the World Through the Sun
day School," message by Eugene Montgomery.
The speaker read 2 Kings 4:1 and said, "We &#6684777;nd an example of a
preacher's wife and the condition she found herself in at her husband's
death. She had two sons and the collectors had come to her doo.r to
receive their obligations that the husband had made. I would like for
us to consider the comparison of &#7602280;is woman and the Church of God
today. Jesus, when He was here in the world, made many promises
to the world. He promised to heal the sick. He promised that the gospel
would be preached to all the world. Jesus made a lot of promises. He
did not get to stay here long enough to physically and personally ful&#6684777;ll
these promises, so upon His death, He passed these obligations on to
the Church of God.
"This woman came to Elisha and cried about her situation. First, we
want to notice that the Church did not make the debt we owe. We
did not promise the world that we would carry the gospel, but Jesus
Christ did. We are left here to pay the obligation. This woman did not
make the obligation, but after the husband died, she was left to pay
the creditors when they knocked on the door. The world has come to
collect some of the promises that the Church is obligated to ful&#6684777;ll. We
have what &#7602280;ey are looking for. We must do what we can to ful&#6684777;ll the
obligation. &#4259942;ter a person has been saved, he needs to be taught. Our
Sunday Schools ought to be just what we say. We need to have school.
&#5505128;ese sessions need to be more than a s&#7274595;ial get-together. &#5505128;ey must
be &#6684777;lled with the power of the gospel of the Lord Jesus.
"When the woman came to Elisha crying about her condition, Elisha
asked, 'What hast thou in the house?' He did not ask her what she
needed or what she would like to have, but he asked what she had. We
may not have an air conditioned church or cushioned pews, but we have
what it takes, if we will put it into operation. The time came when she
had to do something. She couldn't sit &#6357106;ound and wait ten years for
conditions to improve. The world is demanding action. It is time for u·s to
give the world the action it is looking for and demanding. She said she
had nothing of value, just a pot of oil. She did have something of value.
It was not valuable enough at the time to pay the obligation, but she did
have a valuable item. The Assembly has given us something that is
valuable in meeting the obligation that we owe the world. &#5505128;at is the
Church of God Sunday School. It is the pot of oil. The trouble is that
it is on too many shelves and is not being put out for use for the glory of
God.
"Elisha told her what she had was good enough. This woman had
to do some organizing. Elisha told her to go out and borrow vessels,
empty vessels. He did not say take the vessels to the market place, but
he said for her to bring them into the house and do something with them.
He told the sons to go out and borrow the vessels and the woman to do

108 MINUTES OF THE 58TH &#5111951;UAL ASSE&#5046338;LY
the pouring. Each time the vessel was brought before her, . she had
the oil to pour. There is no excuse for any teacher to stand before his
class unprepared to teach. We must have the oil before we can &#6684777;ll a
vessel. Jesus warned the early Church about sending the multitudes
away empty. Jesus said if they sent them away empty, they would faint
along the way. So many come to our Sunday School and go away empty
and go out and faint by the way. Sunday School teachers, you are re
sponsible to give your students the thing they have come to receive.
"She had to rearrange her house to accommodate all the vessels. We
may have to enlarge our borders and change our schedule, but wouldn't
it be worth it all when we can see them &#6684777;lled with the Holy Gh&#7274611;t
and the blessings of the Lord? She did not seek any identity for her
self. &#5505128;is woman shut the door. Her neighbors did not know where the
oil was coming from, and they did not know how the debt was going to
be paid. Charity seeketh not her own. Charity doesn't give because it
wants personal identity. Many times the teacher has to lose her identity
and give freely unto the students. Her identity is lost, but the oil was
not lost. Every vessel was full and at the end of the day the woman
merchandised the vessels and met the obligations."
2:32 p.m.-Gerdia Shewmaker sang "Swing Down, Chariot."
2:37 p.m.-Message by the Secretary.
He read Esther 4:14 and said, "This was the time when &#4522099;ther was
queen. Her people were under a sentence to be des&#7602290;oyed. She was safely
situated in the king's house. Sometimes we get safely situated in the
king's house. Mordecai sent Esther word that they were going to be
destroyed, but she didn' t seem to be doing much about it. He told her
not to think that she would escape just because she was in the king's
house, but 'Who knows but what the Lord has brought you to this place
for such an hour as this?' I contend that it only takes two things to
make a great Church-God and people. We have God. &#5505128;e only thing,
as far as I am conce&#7471214;ed, that would make the Church of God greater. is
more of the works of God and more people. I would like for everybody
to ask yourself three questions: Why am I here? What am I doing since
I am here? What am I going to do? Esther was not brought to the
king's house for her sake. You didn' t come into the Church of God for
your sake altogether.
"Paul, on the road to Damascus, said, 'Lord, what would you have me
to do?' If you want to say something that will please God, say, '&#5701736;at
would you have me to do?' When Zacchaeus came down out of the tree,
he said he would give half of his goods to the poor and restore four
fold that which he had taken by false accusation. When this takes hold
of you, you begin to divide what you have. When Peter's mother-in
law was he&#6357100;ed, the Bible says she got up and ministered unto them.
When God healed you, did you go to church and testify, sing and pray,
visit homes and teach Sunday School, or did you sit back down? I have
heard this old story about us not having much in the Church of God and
then getting up to sing 'How Great Thou Art.' When Peter and John
were going in for the hour of prayer, Peter said, 'I don't have what you
want. Silver and gold have I none, but I am going to give you some
thing.' We don't need anything but what we have in the Church. What
we need to do is to give what we have. The doc&#7602290;ine of the Bible is
enough. It is what they need.''.

MINUTES OF THE 58TH ANNUAL ASSEMBLY 109
The speaker related the story of his desire for a bicycle when he was
a boy. His father gave him a pig to raise, and when the pig was sold, he
had the money for the bicycle. He used this to demonstrate the neces
sity of having a vision of our work in the Sunday School and pointed
out the goals for the Sunday School work: Ten per cent gain in attend
ance, teacher training program, three-point visitation program, proper
organization, and expansion in the orphanage depar&#7602285;ent.
3:17 p.m.-&#5242994;ayer was offered for Sister Anna Hembree who was sick
and unable to &#6684777;ll her place on the program.
3:19 p.m.-Sister Luraine Davis spoke briefly about the Sunday School
&#6881390; Birmingham, England.
3:24 p.m.-Anita Knowles sang "I Found Him."
3:32 p.m.-"Us&#6881390;g the Sunday School To Build Our Churches Larger in
Membership," message by Benny Finlayson.
"If there ever has been a time that the Church of God throughout the
world needs to be built larger, it is now. Everybody is trying his best
with the program he is in. If they can do it, how much more the Church
of God can. As a minister and member of the Church, on Sunday I go,
if I am not to &#6684777;ll the pulpit, to be fed by the minister. God has or
dained a ministry of teaching as well as a ministry of preaching. The
Sunday School teachers should be consecrated, prayed-up, fasted-up and
looking up to God for a divine teaching program. Some Sunday School
teachers get there when they want, and they read the lesson when they
want to, but we will never build our church membership in the doctrine,
practices and government of the Church of God until the teachers that
stand before these people give them something that will feed them. They
come to learn more about the Word of God. They come to receive some
thing they have never received before, but it takes Holy Ghost-&#6684777;lled
teachers. &#5701736;en we preach, if we don't get a hold of God, when we stand
before the congregation, &#7602280;ey will know it.
"To build our churches, our members must see the need of being in
Sunday School. They must realize that the Sunday School is not just for
children. I have been around people who feel good about sending their
children to Sunday School. One thing about the Sunday School, it takes
in people from the cradle to the grave. Jesus said as His Father taught
Him, He spoke these things. Jesus went on the mountain and prayed
all night and communed with God. He had to be taught. He went out
there to learn what His Father's will was. If Jesus had to do this, that
is an example for us in the Sunday School."
3:50 p.m.-Davis Rogers sang "Remember Me." The Songsters sang "He's
Everything to Me," and Stanley Bonham sang "I Have Found the Way."
4:02 p.m.-Robert F. Wright directed a demonstration entitled "The
Family Album."
An arrangement resembling a large family album was brought to the
platform and as the setting of various kinds of Sunday School literature
appeared in the album, Brother Wright gave information about the liter
ature.
The quarterly for adults, "Word of Life," has been used since 1927

4:33 p.m.-Sarah Marie &#5505128;o&#7471214;ton directed. the orphanage program in
the absence of Boyd Thornton, Orphanage Superintendent, who was away
due to the il&#7077998;ess of his father.
The houseparents were introduced and came to the platform. The
youngsters from the four homes in Cleveland and those who are being
cared for by Sister Forrester in North Carolina came to the platform. &#5505128;e
girls were wearing dresses they had made themselves. Sister Lura B.
Evans from Alexandria, Virginia, presented a sewing machine to the girls'
home. The entire group sang "He Is Truly Mine." Anthony Staten sang
"I Can't Sit Down."
Sister Thornton gave a brief history of the orphanage work and &#6881390;tro
duced a large number of individuals who were in the care of the orphan
age at one time. Several of these are now married and have children of
their own.
The youngsters from the Junior Boys' Home presented a skit entitled
"This Old House." This emphasized the poor condition of the farmhouse
and the possibility of erecting a new home through the redemption of
trading stamps and coupons. Some of &#7602280;e younger children sang "Glory,
Glory, Hallelujah."
5:27 p.m.-The Assembly Orphanage Offering was directed by the Gen
eral Secretary. Thirty-&#6684777;ve children from the homes received a general
offering from the congregation, and the state secretaries turned in the

duras, Juan Avelar; and a young man from Cyprus, Brother John Metaxas,
were introduced, and each of these spoke briefly.
9:15 p.m.-Message by D. H. Queener. Excerpts from the message are
given below:
"We are going to have to carry on this business for the Lord. People
in the foreign &#6684777;elds do not have enough to eat, not enough clothes to
wear, and are trusting &#4653167;d for every bite to eat. Why &#6881390; the world is
one-half fed and the other half hun&#6750322;y? I want us to have what we
need here, but I don't want us to have more than we need. I want this
missionary business to go to the glory of God. I am not wanting to
change anything. I just don't want this thing stopped that we are doing
here. I want our folks to become missionary minded at home. We have
got to do this according to the Bible. I just want to get this that we
have to working so it will go like it ought to be. You wouldn't dare tell
me God has not blessed you. I have come to this Assembly many times
with noth&#6881390;g and no place to put it. I came here and slept on the ground
right across the s&#7602290;eet just about where my office is now. Have we for
gotten how we got up to where we are now?
"God never changes His mind. God only changes characters. He made
Adam and Eve and placed them in the Garden of Eden. They did ex
actly what God told them not to do. When they did that sin came alive.
God drove Adam and Eve out of the Garden of Eden, but He never changed
His mind about the Garden and about man being holy. From that time
on God has had a direct program going on in this world. God began to
look from that on for somebody that He could place back in the Garden
of Eden. The Bible says that where there is no law there is no trans
gression, but when God gave Moses the Law and a man stole, he was
a transgressor. Where in the world did that fellow go from the time of
Adam to Moses when he died? That man had a soul and that soul was
captured by the powers of the devil.
"God was hunting somebody to take Adam's place and He could &#6684777;nd
nobody. Men tried but men failed. God Almighty, &#7602280;e Holy Ghost and
Jesus Christ agreed that Jesus would be bo&#7471214; in the world by the vir&#6750313;n
Mary. He did not get His beginning when He was born of Mary. He

MINUTES OF THE 58TH ANNUAL ASSEMBLY 113
always has been. The Holy Ghost came down and moved through the
hands of Isaiah and he wrote that a virgin should conceive and bring
forth a son. Isaiah lived and died and it never happened. But years later
the angel of the Lord came down and told that virgin woman that she was
going to be with child by the Holy Ghost. The recording angel went throu&#6750312;
the books in heaven and knew it was the day that the baby must be born
in Bethlehem.
"Jesus was tempted. The devil told him to make &#7602280;at stone a loaf of
bread. Jesus could have, but if He had, He would have been taking
orders from the wrong man. He didn't yield to temptation. He came into
the world to turn us all back into the Garden of Eden. He came down to
death. He had never met death. When He was in the Garden of Geth
semane, He said, 'Father, let this cup pass from me.' That was all that
would have had to happen to stop &#7602280;is whole program. But He became
subject to death. Jesus was cruci&#6684777;ed. He went into the tomb for three
days. &#5505128;e reason that body was put in the tomb was so the soul could
leave that body and go to that death house where those people had been
shut up since Adam unto Moses. Jesus went to preach to the spirits that
were in prison. Did they follow Him out? Some of them did and some
didn't.
"After His resurrection the graves opened and the saints got up and
walked the streets of Jerusalem. Jesus said He was going away to &#6684777;x
a place for those people. If He had not &#6684777;xed a place for them, they would
still be here running around having tea with us. He went away and
&#6684777;xed a place, and they left this world and went to that place. Ever since
that time, if a man is righteous, he will go to that place to wait, and if
a man dies and is wicked, he will go to hell because Jesus made a place
called hell which is a place of torment, of &#6684777;re, and it will burn you, and
all people who are wicked will go there when they die.''
At the close of the message, the invitation was given by Brother Queen
er, and several came to seek the Lord at the altar. According to the
record, four were saved, three sancti&#6684777;ed, and four received the Holy Ghost.
Monday, September 16
6:00 a.m.-R. L. Puckett directed the sunrise prayer meeting. After
lively congregational singing, prayer was offered for the work of the As
sembly. Brother Puckett brought a short message. &#5505128;is was followed by
songs and ·testimonies by those present. The service was dismissed with
prayer at 7:00 a.m.
8:30 a.m.-Organ music by Joe Pendergrass.
8:39 a.m.-L. R. Lane directed a program with the Nevada delegates.
He reported that the state is one hundred per cent in C. P. M. A. mem
bership, in the Emergency Fund and in tithe paying.
8:52 a.m.-C. R. Payne led the song service with Jean Coalter at &#7602280;e
piano and A. J. Coalter at the organ. Donald Wells read Acts 15:20-28 .
A. C. McKeown prayed at the pulpit, and the congregation joined in a con
cert prayer.
9:12 a.m.-Gabriel Montijo, Sr. directed a program of singing by the
Spanish delegates.

114 MINUTES OF THE 58TH ANNUAL ASSEMBLY
9:18 a.m.-Message by J. A. Jimenez, Field Secretary.
Brother Jimenez spoke briefly in &#4522094;glish and stated that he preferred
to preach in Spanish for the bene&#6684777;t of the people in the Assembly who
could not understand English. His message was interpreted by Daniel
Abrego.
"I travel mostly in the Spanish countries, and I have met a. lot of g&#6488169;od
people, a lot of good ministers, and they &#7602290;uly know nothing about the
Church of God. They preach good sermons, but they know nothing about
&#7602280;e Ch&#7667826;ch. The Bible is an ete&#7471214;al book. Year after year it emphasizes
the same th&#6881390;g. The world has not been able to realize what this Bible
signi&#6684777;es. When I &#6684777;rst started my ministry, I was a young man. I preached
fourteen years without knowing the Church of God. Without anyone
telling me about the Church, I thought according to the Bible that one
day before the coming of the Lord a&#7077996; Pentecostals who had received
the baptism of the Holy Ghost had to become one body. I was invited
to a convention in Tijuana, Mexico, and there I met Brother Vernon Smi&#7602280;
and Brother John A. Stubbs. When they preached the message of &#7602280;e
Church, they began to tell about a &#6750322;eat mystery that the Bible reveals
to all Christians who are sincere. At that convention I was able to hear
something about the Word of God that was the mystery. From then on
I was able to realize that the Bible truly in many respects is a mysterious
book. Many times I preached just whatever I could understand about
Revelation and about the beasts in the book of Daniel. But I heard that
the Bible reveals a special mystery that has been hid through the ages
and that God had determined that all men everywhere may have the
knowledge of the relation that exists between Christ and His Church.
"Paul emphasizes that we must make all men see. We have the great
responsibility of reaching them. Science has made such rapid means of
&#7602290;ansportation that we may reach these other countries. &#5505128;e o&#7209068;y thing
&#7602280;at stops us is money. We have a trust &#6881390; God that this ·great myst&#6619250;y
will be known to all &#7602280;e people in this vast world. A young man asked
me about going to Russia since &#7602280;ey do not allow us to preach the mes
sage all over the world. I told him that is God's business. He makes
the rivers to run howsoever He wants. Just the same He can tum the
hearts of the gove&#7471214;ors, rulers and k&#6881390;gs so they will do whatsoever He
wants them to. God is preparing and will prepare a way for men to
&#7667822;derstand this great message and a way for it to be revealed. It is a
matter directly from God. We will have to let God do the work. Man
is in it, but it is a matter for God."
9:44 a.m.-Wilburn Curtis sang "House of Gold'&#2555950; and "&#5505128;e Church of
God, the Church of Prophecy."
9:54 a.m.-Report of Field Secretaries, C. R. Payne, E. L. Jones, J. A.
Jimenez, and Home Mission Workers, Alexander Gilmore and Harrison
E. Price.
Each individual read his report, and then the Assembly accepted the
reports together.

Preliminary work has been done on the production of a daily devo
tional broadcast series, called Gems of Inspiration, which we hope • will

In addition to the radio ministry, I served as White Angel Fleet Director
&#6357102;d headquarters pilot. In this work, a tota l of 290 hours were flown

Foreign Mission Committee Report
To the 58th Annual Assembly of the Church of God of Prophecy, Greetings:
We are very thankful for the many prayers and offerings that have
been given so freely by our dedicated members and others in behalf of the
missionary work of the Church. It is this constant offering up of prayers
and giving of our substance that keeps our mission &#6684777;elds operational.
We appreciate the great accomplishments of Bible Training Camp in
our mission &#6684777;elds as it has proven a great and indispensable ally of the
missionary committee in helping the Church to carry the message into
all of the world. This year, Bible Training Camp has conducted schools
in eleven of our mission &#6684777;elds, bringing a greater knowledge of the teach
ings of the Church to our people. This is helping, "to make all men see
what is the fellowship of the mystery."
Our October and March Foreign Mission Drives had an increase of
$3 ,373.15 over &#7602280;e previous assembly year. In contrast there has been a
decrease in the convention offerings which will have a great bearing on

120 MINUT&#4522067; OF THE 58TH ANNUAL ASSEMBLY
our mission budget for 1963-64. The Chris&#7602285;as and special mission of
ferings decreased $794.97 from last assembly year. We therefore, kindly
urge all to pray for our missionary work and for the October and March
mission drives. God can help us during these two special months to over
come our de&#6684777;cit in the mission funds by giving us a substantial increase
in the offerings.
Despite the restrictive import laws of several countries whicn control
the importation of used clothing, we were able to ship 22 boxes, weigh
ing 200 pounds each, of clean, wearable clothing for &#7602280;e use of our mem
bers in other countries who are not as fortunate as we are.
Our _mission funds disbursed for the assembly year, 1962-63, as author-
ized by the Foreign Mission Committee, are as follows:

There has been some gain this year in the foreign work in spite of
hindrances. Plans are being studied for the advancement of the work
in Europe, Asia and Africa, and I feel that in a little while the work
will all be better organized and reaching more countries.

122 MINUTES OF THE 58TH.A&#5111886;UAL ASSEMBLY
In &#4522094;gland ten new churches were organized, and two new countries
were added to the number: Colombia in South America and the island of
Barbuda. B. T. C. has proved a great bless&#6881390;g in • the foreign &#6684777;elds by
teaching and &#7602290;aining the people in the doctrine of the Church. I have
traveled many thousands of miles this year in the interest of the work
both at home and in foreign &#6684777;elds.

Report of Asia and Egypt Representative
September 1, 1962 to August 31, 1963
To the 58th Annual General Assembly of the· Church of God of Prophecy,
Greetings:
As your representative to Asia and Egypt, it gives me great pleasure to
report as follows:

124 MINUT&#4522067; OF THE 58TH &#4259918;NUAL ASSEMBLY
My work in these countries this year has been done without mu&#6488168;
traveling. However, having previously traveled not just thousands, but
tens of thousands of miles, I have been able to learn some of their great
needs. I was not only impressed, but pressed by the Lord, into action.
In upper Egypt, through much difficulty, one of the nicest church build
ings in all Egypt has been erected and is now being used by our happy
church group.
First Owensboro Church as sponsor rejoices wi&#7602280; them. More than
ninety per cent of the American dollars that went into this building came
through the wonderful c&#7274607;peration of this church. We are not unm&#6881390;d
ful of the personal gift by our good state overseer, Roy H. Phipps, of
$109.00, and I must not fail to mention $250.00 or more given by Brother
Fred Bird and his son.
Our state missionary secretary, Sister Clara Hawkins, raised for Christ
mas gifts for Brother Ibrahim's family more than $100.00. As a voice for
Egypt to Kentucky's adopted country, I say God bless you.
Building at home is not easy. Neither is it six or seven thousand miles
across seas, mountains and valleys into the valley of the Nile, but it can
be and has been done. Kentucky's next project in Egypt seems to be
about &#6684777;fty miles from Assiout in the village of Badaria.
The good people in Egypt are awaiting my arrival before dedicating the
new church. Pray for my safe journey.
My report on Asia is short but strong. After discussions, writings,
telephone calls and cablegrams, &#6684777;nally from Paris, France, I was informed
that if one more paper were not in Paris the boy could not leave on the
plane on September 5. I did my best, and here he is from a small country
in Asia. Tomorrow he will enter Wesleyan College in Owensboro, Ken
tucky, to study for the ministry. This should enable him to carry the
gospel further into &#7602280;e countries of Asia. His name is John Metaxas.
His home is where Barnabas lived in Cyprus.
Humbly submitted,
ADA McGE&#4718661;E
Asia and E&#6750329;pt Representative
10:44 a.m.-Report of Commi&#7602292;ee No. 1, Questions and Subjects.
Several sections of the report were presented for consideration on Fri
&#6553644;ay afte&#7471214;oon. Other sections were presented at this time, and the en
tire report as accepted by the Assembly is given here.
Questions and Subjects Committee Report
To the 58th Annual Assembly of the. Church of God of Prophecy:
We, your Questio&#7209075; and Subjects Committee, after careful and prayer
ful consideration, submit the following report: •
We have just closed another successful year &#6881390; the work of the Church
of God. We feel that the success and advancements that have been made
are due in a large measure to the faithful and untiring efforts of our
General Overseer. In spite of a seige of illness, he has continued to per
form his duties in a capable and highly commendable manner. We feel

MINUTES OF THE 58TH ANNUAL ASSEMBLY 125
that it would be in order for this Assembly to give him a standing ovation
at this time.
SECTION 1
At the 57th General Assembly the Questions and Subjects Committee
recommended that a committee be appointed to investigate the &#6684777;nancial
crisis faced by Tomlinson Memorial School and to seek a solution to the
problem. Accordingly, the committee was appointed and from their &#6684777;nd
ings we quote the following:
"We recommend that tuition be set at appr
-
oximately $250.00 per stu
dent for one school year. This is comparable to the tuition rate charged
in the Cleveland Day School which is privately operated. With an en
rollment of 150 students; this tuition rate would bring in $37,500 an
nually."
We recommend that the Sunday School Orphanage and the Tomlin
son Memorial School Board charge sufficient tuition to cover operation
of the school; be responsible for all other phases of the school program;
and decide whether or not the school shall continue to operate.
SECTION 2
The question with regard to how many nights meeting would be
called a revival has been brought before the C. P. M. A. Committee, and
it was agreed by the Committee that this should be brought before the
Questions and Subjects Committee to be decided by the Assembly.
We recommend that the revival required by the Honor Stone Depart
ment in order to receive an Honor Stone be for a period not less than
one week.
SECTION 3
Since certain needs relative to the deeding of our church properties
are pressing in some localities, we recommend that this Assembly adopt
the following resolution:
WHEREAS it has been advised by competent attorneys that speci&#6684777;c
mention of proper authorities be stated in an effort to ease the compli
cations arising in our endeavors to be recognized by the courts, and to
facilitate the handling of deeds to our church properties,
BE IT RESOL&#5636165;D that trustees to hold title to local church property for
the Church of God of Prophecy with international headquarters at Cleve
land, Tennessee, be selected by the local church either in a regular or
called business meeting, said trustees to be vested with authority to
bargain, buy, sell, convey or encumber such property by mortgage or
otherwise only when authorized to do so by the local church in regular
or called business meeting, and with the consent of the General Trustees.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that said consent of the General Trustees
be evidenced by a separate writing or by the signature of the Chief
Clerk of the said General Trustees, such documents to be notarized.
BE IT R&#4522067;OL&#5636165;D that state church trustees appointed by the state
overseer to hold title to property for the Church of God of Prophecy
with international headquarters at Cleveland, Tennessee, be vested with
authority to bargain, buy, sell, convey or encumber such property by

126 MINUTES OF THE 58TH ANNUAL ASSE&#5046338;LY
mortgage with the consent of the General Trustees .. This applies to prop
erty being held by state &#7602290;ustees where churches have been disbanded or
are too weak to function and to property which has be&#6619246; given to the
state. All other property with title being held by state trustees may
be disposed of or mortgaged only by the consent of the state convention
in session.
SECTION 4
Since the General Overseer in his annual address pointed out the fact
that our work varies from state to state and that each state should ar
rive at the plan most bene&#6684777;cial for it in boosting the auxiliary work, we
recommend that the state overseer determ&#6684783;e the number of secretaries
that he may use • to the best advantage and decide &#7602280;e system under
which &#7602280;ey may work. Each auxiliary should be represented in the plan
arrived at by the overseer. Under this plan, state secretaries w&#7078101; be
continued but the number would be determined by the state overseer.
SECTION 5
Since receipts for offerings given by persons who make donations to
the Church are usable for income tax deductions, we recommend that
receipt books be printed by the White Wing Publishing House and kept
in stock so that persons or churches desiring such may purchase them at
reasonable cost.
SECTION 6
We recommend that twenty-&#6684777;ve per cent of the net amount of free lit-·
erature funds received by the White Wing Publishing House be reserved
for &#7602280;e printing of tracts for free distribution.
SECTION 7
At the 53rd General Assembly the General Properties Committee was
authorized to purchase the property facing on Inman S&#7602290;eet which is now
being used as a parking lot. &#5505128;e property was purchased · through the
Emergency Fund, and for sev&#6619250;al years this fund ran a de&#6684777;cit. How
ever, we are happy to report that the property is now paid for and there
is a small amount to be used for emergencies.
This is due to the faithfulness of our people in paying their emer
gency dollars and this committee desires to co&#7143533;end them very highly.
Also, we wish to encourage everyone to continue paying the emergency
dollars so that the fund may build up sufficiently so the committee which
has been au&#7602280;orized to build may see their way clear to do so.
Question: Does a deacon have any authority to call members of the
church together and discuss matters of business pertaining to the local
church without the knowledge of the pastor? If one does this, what steps
should be taken to stop it?
Answer: No. If a deacon seems contentious when advised to discontinue
such practice, this would be a matter for the presbytery to decide.

MINUT&#4522067; OF THE 58TH ANNUAL ASSEMBLY 127
Question: If a member commits sin and comes back to the ch&#7667826;ch and
repents and &#3670074;sks for forgiveness, should he be disfellowshipped?
Answer: &#5505128;is would be a matter for the church to decide and would
depend largely upon the circumstances.

To the 58th Annual Assembly of the Church of God of Prophecy:
Members of your General Properties Committee have met many times
dur&#6881390;g the year, with most of the meetings called for the purpose of

erty for local congregations. In addition to &#7602280;is, general properties &#6881390;
Cleveland have been maintained, with one lot adjacent to the White Wing

Report of Foreign Language Secretary From
September 10, 1962 to August 31, 1963
Greetings to the 58&#7602280; Annual Assembly:
&#5505128;is, my &#6684777;rst year in office as Foreign Language Secretary, has been
a very enjoyable one. &#7143606;ediately upon tak&#6881390;g over the duties of the
o&#6684774;ice I was made to appreciate the valuable contribution of my pre
decessor, Brother Jess F. Pruitt, which he made to the work during
his eighteen years of able and faithful service. &#5505128;e accomplishments of
&#7602280;ose years may not be too well known, generally, but let me assure
you that they were many and commendable.
I would like also to co&#7143533;end our Business Manager, Brother Hugh R.
Edwards, and the Church Publishing Committee for their deep conce&#7471214;
for our foreign literature pro&#6750322;am, and for making it possible to show
some advancement this year. I feel &#7602280;at they did their best accord&#6881390;g
to &#7602280;e available funds and &#7602280;e many demands made upon &#7602280;em. By
&#7602280;eir assignment I composed one new tract for &#7602290;anslation into various

MI&#5111893;TES OF THE 58TH A&#5111971;AL ASS&#4522061;BLY 131
languages as needed, a&#7209060; designed for· use in areas where the true and
living God and &#7602280;e Lord Jesus Christ are little known, or not known at
all. This &#7602290;act, entitled "Only One Way," has been translated into four
languages, and its printing in one language has already been authorized.
The "&#5505143;enty-nine Important Bible Truths" has been translated into
the Dutch language and we hope to be able to print it very soon. A &#7143541;n
ber of other translations have been authorized or given serio&#7667827; con
sideration for publication in the near future.
New "Request Forms" have been prepared and mailed to all Spanish
speaking coun&#7602290;ies. I have also written to every forei&#6750318; overseer, and
have corresponded with several of them a number of times.
I taught four classes daily during the Cleveland session of Bible &#5505138;ain
ing Camp and wrote the Church Business course for &#7602280;e· revised edi&#7602281;on
of the second term book.
It might be well to explain that the Foreign Language Secretary's duties
have been coordinated with those of the Sunday School Editor, to a lim
ited extent, due to the fact that much of our Sunday School litera
ture is &#7602290;anslated into Spanish; French, and Arabic. In this capacity
·. I
have written the major parts of &#7602280;e Adult Quarterly (Word of Life) for
the &#6684777;rst &#7602295;o quarters of 1963, the entire Adult Quarterlies for the last
two quarters of 1963, and the entire Adult Quarterly for the &#6684777;rst quar
ter of 1964. I also attended the mid-winter session of the National
Sunday School Association Convention in Miami, Florida.

To date, we have published tracts in 35 major languages and in 167
different &#7602290;anslations .. Bibles, Gospels, Testaments and Scripture portio&#7209075;
are also dis&#7602290;ibuted in a number of languages. Because of the close asso
ciation between the Foreign Language Department and &#7602280;e &#4587634;ee Lit&#6619250;a
ture Depar&#7602285;ent, I would like to report that free literature funds are
making possible the regular printing of the &#5701736;ite Wing Messenger and
the Adult and Primary Quarterlies of our Sunday School literature in
Spanish, &#4587634;ench, &#6357102;d Arabic, and the White Wing Messenger in certain
dialects of the country of India. The Missionary Guide was published
in &#4587634;ench this year also.
The vision of the foreign literature program is great and far-reachi&#7209063;,
and there is a crying need for a mighty forward surge to meet &#7602280;e chal
lenge. By the help of the Lord we must do more. Jesus said, "And the
gospel must &#6684777;rst be published among all nations."_ Obe&#6553705;ence to this positive
statement is imperative. To be slack is to fail the Lord. &#5505128;is we must
not do. Let the people in our foreign &#6684777;elds cry out hungrily for &#7602280;e
printed message in their own tongues until our zeal will eat us up and
the literature is provided!
Respec&#7602278;ully submitted,

Report of Visual Department Director
September 1, 1962 to August 31, 1963
To &#7602280;e 58th Annual Assembly ·of the Church of God, Greetings:
Since December 1, 1953, I have felt that my ministry was being ful
&#6684777;lled in this department of the Church. It has been very gratifying to
watch the progress of this work for almost ten years. Last year, we an
nounced during the Assembly and showed "The Stone Cries Out" which
was the &#13762774; report of the dedication of the marker on Mount Hittin where
. &#7602280;e Church was set in order. We have had several copies of it very,
very busy during the whole year. In fact, our waiting list of orders was
&#13762773;ed just before this Assembly.
This year, we have produced six new releases-two emphasizing our
youth camp and Victory Leaders program, one placing emphasis on meth
ods of successful Sunday School teaching, one for our children, one
promoting the Visual Depar&#7602285;ent and one entitled "In the Lands of
the Book" which gives a fu&#7077996; record of the Bible Landmark Expedition.
We feel that this &#6684777;lm is one of our best.
One of our &#6684777;lm users reported showing "Biblical Wo&#3211313;der in the Smoky
Mountains" on a television station and the results were very reward
ing. Viewers wrote &#6684786;om as far away as 100 miles and many outsiders
showed great interest in our work after seeing it. The station said that
100,000 viewers of this one &#6684777;lm would be a conservative &#6684777;gure.

M&#4784206;UT&#4522067; OF THE 58TH ANNUAL ASSE&#5046338;LY 135
Our &#6684777;lm users have· increased at the rate of one every two days this
year. We are now shipping &#6684777;lms to 375 users. We shipped 743 &#13762774;s in
the United States and 30 to foreign coun&#7602290;ies which gives a total of 773
&#6684777;lms shipped this year.
I preached 40 sermons, visited 135 homes, attended and made pictures
at four state conventions, attended the convention of the Society of Mo
tion Picture Television Engineers and a regional convention of &#7602280;e &#5242994;o
fessional Photographers of America.
It has been a busy but very rewarding year.

The report was read and accepted.
Auxiliary Boosters Committee Report
To the Fifty-Eigh&#7602280; &#4259950;nual Assembly-Greetings:
We, . your Auxiliary Boosters Committee, beg leave to submit the fol
lowing report:
&#4259942;ter prayer and deliberation, it seems that the most urgent need in our
local churches is a training program. We have been on the "hit or &#7143529;ss"
long enough, and we should see that our workers have some trai&#7209065;ng
in the &#6684777;eld of labor to which they have been assigned. Our program will
be showing the need of training in all of our work.
OUR SUNDAY. SCHOOL WORK IN THE CHURCH
Sunday School is a great and wonderful auxiliary in the Church of God
of &#5242994;ophecy, and it is o�e of the helps that is operating in these last
days to enable us to teach our people • and lead them on to perfection.
We are of the opinion that no church will ever be perfect without a good
Sunday School operating properly. &#5505128;is auxiliary will help build a church
to the extent that it aids in teaching them to observe the "all things" that
have been commanded us to do. Others have had Sunday Schools for
years, but none have taug&#7077947;lt them the "all things" mentioned in Matthew
28:19, 20. Let us, keep on. teaching and boosting our Sunday Schools.
&#4980837;t us stand behind our general Sunday School secretary who is boosting
the forward move for our Sunday Schools. All of our good workers are
to be commended for their efforts in boosting this work, and please do
not forget to collect coupons to aid in the &#6684777;nancial support of our chil
dren in the orphanage. •

MI&#5111893;TES OF THE 58TH A&#5111971;AL ASSEMBLY
WOMEN'S MISSIONARY BAND
137
Our m1ss10nary women · have done an outstanding work in the past
years, but we have hardly made an impression on the world as yet with
the last days message. We need to put forth a greater effort than ever
to reach the countless millions. The world must and will be evangelized.
We have our part to do, and our missionary sisters are working faith
fully, but there is much yet to be done. Let's do much more than ever
before and make 1964 the greatest missionary year ever.
VICTORY LEADERS BAND
The Victory Leaders Bands are training our young people and .also spon
soring the radio programs which are helping to get the gospel into many
remote places and cities where we do not have churches. The young
people need the backing of each member and we should encourage them
in the youth camps which are proving helpful in establishing our young
people in the doctrine of the Church and causing them to live better and
more godly lives. These wonderful camps, winter retreats, V. L. B. con
ventions, and rallies help to maintain spirituality in our local churches.
Thousands of dollars are being raised to print the free literature and
keep our radio programs on the air. Let us all put our shoulder to the
wheel and boost the Victory Leaders. The Gleaners have a successful
training program, and they also raise money to publish the gospel. &#5505128;e y
need special attention in every church.
ASSEMBLY BAND MOVEMENT
Great is the mercy of God, and great is His divine love to us. It is
not the will of the Father that one of these little ones should perish. A
perfectly organize d and trained Assembly Band Movement in each local
church will keep practically all the members save d and in fellowship.
A band leader should feel the responsibility of his members the same
as the pastor. It should be· a joy to him to know that they stand fast in
the Lord. Special effort should be put forth to keep all that are intrusted
to his care. Band leaders should accept their responsibilities joyfully and
willingly and not have to be drafted to do this important work.
STATE OVERSEERS PAY ASSOCIATION
Our overseers should have sufficient means to do all the work assi&#6750318;ed
to them. Sometimes a little frien&#3932234;ly competition trying to excel the other
leaders will cause an increase. Come on, band leaders, we can depend
on you. The interest should be stirred at all times, and the awarding of
a little prize to the one having the best report is often helpful.
CHURCH OF PROPHECY MARKER ASSOCIATION
This association had its beginning in the Church in the year of 1941. It
was placed in the Church to assist the auxiliaries. A membership fee
of ten dollars was the original amount, which was later changed to &#6684777;ve
dollars per year. The membership in this auxiliary has gone over fifteen
thousand, and this has enabled us to beautify the Fields of the Wood. Each
year hundreds of visitors visit the Fields of the Wood where the markers
speak for themselves. Many Biblical places of interest have been marked
through this association. The airplane assists in getting the message to
others. Let us continue to work through the C. P. M. A. and the "On to
Perfection" until the Church is raptured away.

138 MINUTES OF THE 58TH ANNUAL ASSEMBLY
BIBLE TRAINING CAMP
It is essential &#7602280;at every minister of the Church of God of Prophecy
become • a booster of B. T. C. and stir our people to action. The avail
able correspondence courses could be conducted in all our churches, which
would help our people to have a greater knowledge of the Church, which
we love, the Church of God of Prophecy. Bible Training Camp is the
official institution of training in &#7602280;e Ch&#7667826;ch of God, and it strives not
to establish a doctrine, but rather to establish in the doctrine. Bible
&#5505138;aining Camp has two home study courses available. One contains twenty
lessons in general Bible knowledge, and the other is the Body of Christ
with &#6684777;fteen short lessons. This is a great institution for teaching our
people the doc&#7602290;ine and practices of the Church, and every m&#6881390;ister should
attend, if possible. Members are blessed spiritually by attending, &#6357102;d
every member is urged to contribute a nickel a week for the support. of
B. T. C. in other countries. &#5505128;is helps to establish our workers in the
doctrine and practices of the Church. Let us boost Bible Training Camp
that it may be a greater service to the Church,
REPORTING
We have made great gain in our reporting, and it has been very help
ful. We are striving toward the goal of all reporting one hundred per
cent. The Bible tells us that a good report maketh the bones fat. Proverbs
15:30. Reporting regularly shows our love for the Church.

Workers be paid $360.00 per month and incidental expenses, if funds are
available.
4. We recommend that the question of pay for incidental expenses in
cu&#7471218;ed by some of the general workers be left to the discretion of the
General Overseer and General Treasurer.
5. We recommend that the overseers of states and territories receive
a substantial amount if funds are available for their services, said amount
not to exceed $360.00 per month, and an allowance of seven cents per
mile traveled in the work of the ministry only, and an amount not to
exceed $200.00 per month for office and incidental expenses from the
tithes received from the churches. Any funds in excess of this amount
received by the overseer, we recommend that ten per cent of these funds
be sent to the state treasurer for the support of the state work. The re
maining ninety per cent to be sent to the state treasurer to be placed

140 MINUT&#4522067; OF THE 58TH ANNUAL A&#5439571;EMBLY
in the gen&#6619250;al state fund to be used in state work. We further recom
mend that an amount up to $100.00 per month be allocated to rent and
utilities from the allotment of the state overseer. This amount may be
deducted from the overseer's income when he &#6684777;les his tax form.
6. We recommend that ten per cent of the amount of surplus tithes
le&#6946981; in the local church. treasury at the end of &#7602280;e year be sent to the
state &#7602290;eas&#7667826;er for state work. The amount that remains, leave twen&#7602297;
per cent in the local treasury for the purpose of obtaining and maintain
ing parsonage; then divide the balance equally, send half to the Head
quarters Treasurer, the other half to the state treasurer to be disbursed
by the state overseer and the state Finance and Appropriations Committee.
7. We recommend that ten per cent of the tithes received each month
by the local church treasurer be sent wi&#7602280; his report to General Head
quarters Treasurer and that the same amount be sent to the state overseer.
8. We recommend that the pastor receive an amount not to exceed
$360.00 per month out of the tithes of the local church after Headquarters
and &#7602280;e state overseer have received their portion, if funds are available.
We fur&#7602280;er recommend that each pastor whose church has surplus tithes
receive $10.00 per week for his expense in the minis&#7602290;y. This does not
include offerings and poundings received by the pastor. We further recom
mend that the practice of receiving an offering on the &#6684777;rst Sunday of
each month for &#7602280;e pastor, and on the third Sunday for the district over
seer (in those states using district overseers) be continued. In case the
dis&#7602290;ict overseer is called upon by the state overseer to discharge a duty
involving considerable expense, the state overseer will be responsible for
the expenses.
9. We recommend that the tithes of non-members that are paid into the
local church treasury should be executed through the regular channel the
same as tithes of members.
10. We recommend that all ministers and churches observe the ruling
of the Assembly with reference to the use of the tithe money· which
is: "The tithes are for the support of the ministry only."
11. We recommend that the C. P. M. A. offerings received in the local
churches be held for &#7602280;e state convention, the same as the other offer
ings. These offerings are to be divided by the state &#7602290;easurer as follows:
Twenty per cent of the state convention C. P. M. A. offering is to be
left in the treasury for the purpose of improving, building and -maintain
ing &#7602280;e state headquarters. Send ten per cent to the General Treasurer;
and the same amount to the state treasurer for the support of state work;
then send the same amount to the General Treasurer to be placed in the
Ministerial Aid Fund. The remaining is to be divided equally, half to be
sent to M. A. Tomlinson and the other half to be sent to the state treas
urer for support of the airplane program, Visual Department and any
other work in the state in co&#7209070;ection with the C. P. M. A. We further
recommend that ten per cent of the C. P. M.A. membership fees be placed
in the Ministerial Aid Fund rather than retu&#7471214;ed to the state treasurer
as heretofore practiced.
12. We recommend that $100.00 be contributed from the general funds
for each $100.00 contributed from the general state funds for the purpose
of opening up new &#6684777;elds, and that the amount for any one state be lim�
ited to $500.00. In case a state has no funds for this purpose and de-

sires help from Headquarters to open a new &#6684777;eld, the General Overseer
and the General &#5505138;easurer may use their discretion in assisting in such
cases.
13. We recommend that twenty per cent of &#7602280;e following auxiliary state
convention o&#6684774;erings, namely, W. M. B., V. L. B., Sunday School and
C. P. M. A., be left in &#7602280;e state tr&#6619233;sury for the purpose of state work
&#2555950;
14. We recommend that a portion of &#7602280;e fund in General Headquarters
be placed in savings accounts at the discretion of the General Overseer
and the General Treasurer. Interest accrued on these savings will be
placed in the Ministerial Aid Fund.
15. We recommend that each and every overseer see to it that all state
convention offerings raised in his state be executed only as authorized
by the Assembly.
16. We recommend that all give perfect cooperation to our faithful Gen
eral Overseer in putting into practice all the rulings of the Assembly.

World Must Be Evangelized
It wi&#7077996; take good organizaUon and systematic methods to accomplish
this task.
God's power is demons&#7602290;ated in proportion to the unity and oneness of
His people.
&#5505128;e members of &#7602280;e early Church were all of one accord, steadfast in
the apostles' doctrine and fellowship, • and &#7602280;e m&#7667820;titude that believed
were of one heart and one soul, and great grace was upon them all, and
mighty results followed as a consequence of their perfect. uni&#7602297; and care�
&#6684789;l organization.
We must banish from our minds the thoughts of individual or local
independence and haphazard spasmodic efforts.
Pull together, pull at once, pull steadily all the time is the road to success.
All members should &#6422629; ready to center their minds and prayers on
the one thing as a unit when calls for special prayer are made. Each
one should feel his or her part of the responsibility, remembering that
when one member fails it cripples or dwa&#7471206;s the body until the matter
pending may fail.
Instructions-Local Church Officers
1. Pastor when possible. It is necessary always to have someone selected
as leader of the flock. It is the duty of &#7602280;e overseer of the state or
province to see that every local church in his territory has a pastor or
leader.
2. Clerk for every local church. It is the duty of the clerk to keep a
close and careful record of the business and work of the church, make
a record and give date of organization, record the name and date of
every one that joins, the name and date of every one excluded and for
what cause. Keep a record of deaths, giving date of same.
Clerks should be selected at the last business meeting before each annual
Assembly to serve for one year. Same one may be continued from year
to year if desired. A man or woman can serve in this capacity. Care
should be taken to select one that can write and compose well.

MINUTES OF THE 58TH ANNUAL ASSE&#5046338;LY 151
The selection should be made by mutual . agreement. Talk the matter
over lovingly and carefully and &#6684777;nally all agree upon one who ·is able
and willing to serve.
3. Treasurer for every local church. A treasurer can be selected in like
manner as &#7602280;e clerk, and it is advised that one person serve as both clerk
and treasurer when it is convenient and satisfactory to the local church.
Each pastor, with the assistance of the deacons, if the church· has deacons,
should divide his members into bands of ten or twelve in each band
and a leader over each band selected. The bands might be calle&#6553646; prayer
bands and each leader should keep in close touch with every member
of his band like a Sunday School teacher her pupils. If any should move,
the band leader should keep in touch with them in person, then com•
munication should be kept up by correspondence. All of this is for the
mutual, spiritual, temporal and social bene&#6684777;t of the members. The pas
tor should keep in close touch with the band leaders and. all the work.
Meetings for business should be held regularly every three months, or
four each year. In case of special demand for it a meeting may be called
any time by &#7602280;e pastor, leader or overseer of the state. If· necessary a
short business session can be held at the beginning or close of a meeting
for worship.
It is suggested that where practicable in a locality the &#6684777;rst • Monday
night in Janua&#7471225;, April, July and October, be observed by all local churches
for their regular quarterly meetings, so as to conserve· uniformity and
concerted action.
The pastor should act as moderator of all business meetings. In case
there is no pastor the overseer of the state has authority to act or ap&#2883757;
point a licensed male minister to preside. Wh&#6619250;e one pastor . has the care
of several churches he can arrange the time for his business meetings to
suit &#4849769;is convenience.
Attendance
Every member, both men and women, should take a&#7471220; interest in and
make it a point to attend every business session if possible.
Arrangement
Moderator, Clerk, Treasurer should &#7274595;cupy seats on the platform. Deacons
and other ministers near by on either side or close in &#6684786;ont of the plat&#2949293;
form.
Order of Business
(This order is only a suggestion and not me&#6357102;t for an ironclad rule.)
Song service by all. Prayer by some one whom the moderator may call.
Short Scripture lesson, and prayer by the moderator, asking for wisdom
and direction. Song.

sh&#3014767;uld . be done with one accord and questions settled by mutual agree
ment. If there • &#6881395; 'division on· a matter hold it over until all can agr&#6619237;.
If one • should seem obstinate and contrary, don't run the matter over
him, but take up his case and inves&#7602281;gate the cause of
·
his obstinacy
and if he shows the good spirit so that he can be heard, then show him
courtesy. But if he proves to. be wrong, . then deal with him as the Bi
ble directs. After this is all done, take up &#7602280;e original subject and
dispose of _it in h�rmony and love.-
In case of matters that the local church ca&#7209070;ot settle satisfactorily,
they should call the assistance of the state overseer; if they are still
not able to reach a satisfactory conclµsion, it should be referred to the
General Overseer.
• •
In these business meetings women are to take no open part in dis
cussing or deciding questions, but should always• be there and silently pray
God to give wisdom and direct the men and show forth God's glory
in being the glo&#7471225; of the men.
No one should give a message in tongues to the church unless there
is an interpreter present and then only one at a time and not more than
three in a whole session.
As .a member, you count one and should attend every regular serv
ice as far' as possible. Remember no one can &#6684777;ll your plac_e· and the serv
ice will be that much dwarfed and crippled without your &#2556016;resence.··

MINUTES OF THE 58TH ANNUAL ASSEMBLY 153
Show love and fellowship to everyone without partiality; Don't wait
for others to greet you, but you greet them.
Show special courtesy to strangers who may chance to fall in with
you in your meetings.
As a rule take part in the singing.
Be ready for vocal prayer when called on or prompted by the Spirit.
Be ready for testimony when such is in order.
Stand by your pastor or appointed leader and assist &#6815839;im in every way
you can.
&#4259948;ways pray silently for the preacher while he delivers the message.
&#4259948;ways live a good straight life at home and abroad so no one can justly
think or speak of you as a hypocrite.
Guard your conversation. Be careful what you say about a brother,
sister or anyone.
Don't be a critic and try to &#6684777;nd something in others to criticize.
Examine yourself occasionally and see if you are in the faith.
Don't yield to discouragement or despondency.
Be cheerful and happy and try to make others the same.
Spend as much time as you can in secret prayer. Give yourself all you
can to intercessory prayer. Daily prayers and study of God's Word are
necessary and very important for the spiritual welfare of each child of
God; therefore, everyone is urged to faithfully maintain as far as is pos-
sible family worship in your home at least once a day.
Your dress should be with moderation, neat and clean, but not for
show. Moderation includes paying moderate prices for clothing, wear
ing. dresses of high-.enough necklines, low-enough hem&#7077993;nes, sleeves of
reasonable length. The wearing of extremely sheer fabrics is unbecom
ing to a saint and the wearing of shorts in public should never be prac
ticed. You should never wear gold for o&#7471214;ament or decoration. Finger
rings, bracelets, earrings, necklaces, lockets and large showy pins-these
are also unbecoming to a saint of God. Rouge, lipstick, nail polish and
extremely costly perfumes are used to satisfy the pride of life and there
fore they should have no place in the lives of those who love God.
Please read and study the following Scriptures often: 1 Peter 3:3, 4;
1 Timothy 2:9, 10 and 1 John 2:15-17.
You should not permit yourself to be trapped by worldly attractions.
&#5505128;e Bible says, "Neither give place to the devil." Dabbling with worldly
amusements like professional . ball games, horse races, stock car races,
wrestling arenas, skating rinks, motion picture houses or drive-in theaters,
bowling alleys and going swimming where men and women both use
the same bathing area would give the devil a foothold or place in your life.
Always tithe your .income and put it in the church treasury. Make free
will offerings besides your tithes.
Younger members shouid not keep company or associate too intimately
with worldly outsiders.

154 MINUT&#4522067; OF THE 58TH ANNU&#4259916; ASSE&#5046338;LY
Members should never marry sinners. Great care should be taken, with
much prayer and careful consideration, regarding matrimony.
A memb&#6619250; who may have a living companion should &#3211424;ot .marry anot&#10682544;er
under any circumstances even if divorced. Neither should a member
mar&#7471225; anyone who has a livi&#7209063; companion althou&#6750312; such person may
be divorced.
Children are an heritage from the Lord.· &#5505128;ose who have children
are responsible t0 teach them at an early age to reverence the house of
God. This should be done by setting a good example before them ·and
by ins&#7602290;ucting them with such a good sp&#6881394;it that they will have a strong
desire to serve &#7602280;e Lord. MINISTERS are to meet all of the require
ments in being examples to the members by keeping their children un
der reasonable control at all times and by restrain&#6881390;g them from run
ing about over the house of God. especially while the services are • in
progress.
The White Wing Messenger is a very important part of the Church of
God. It should be read regularly each week by each and every mem
ber and your interest in advertising the Church should be so great that
when you have &#6684777;nished reading your copy, you would want to pass it
along to someone else. Every member who possibly can should subscribe &#6357102;d
of course each minister is asked to be a "paid&#2883629;up" subscriber and an
earnest worker for our church paper-the &#5701736;ite Wing Messenger.
These are the last days and perilous times have come so it will re
quire much watchfµlness and humble prayer on your part to so live
and act that you will never bring reproach on the worthy name of Christ
and His Church that you so much love.
Never form too close an intimacy with the opposite sex even if they are
brothers and sister s in· the Lord. Give no place to the adversary. Ab
stain from the very appearance of evil .
. These kindly ins&#7602290;ucttons and advices are given by those who are watch
ing for your soul as they that must give an account (Hebrews 13:17),
and it is hoped they will be received with the same meek, gentle spirit
in which they are given.
Duties of State Overseer
Each overseer is to have &#7602280;e oversight of his state or territory and
as much as possible conduct or order a general evangelistic campaign
over his state during the year. To see that every church is supplied with
a pastor as much as lies in his power.
To divide his state or te&#7471218;itory into districts and place over each dis
trict an overseer as previously instructed and practiced. This is not an
ironclad rule, but it is considered best when there are sufficient churches
in the state to make it practicable.
To order or conduct district meetin&#6750323; at intervals during the year for
the mutual bene&#6684777;t and help of all. Special ins&#7602290;uctions concerning the
Church work should be given at these district meetings.
To hold one state convention each year in some part of the state most
convenient for members &#6684786;om all the churches to attend.

MINUTES OF THE 58TH &#5111951;U&#4259916; ASSEMBLY 155
To secure the names and addresses of every Bishop, Deacon and Evan
gelist located in his state and keep record of same, so he can report to
the General Overseer, if needed.
To secure the location of every church in the state and keep a record of
same, so as to report this to the General Overseer, if needed.
To visit every district and church if possible and look after the interests
in every way as a pastor over a large circuit.
When a new organization is ef&#6881381;cted anywhere in the state, informa
tion should be sent to the overseer of that state, who should make a
record of the same, giving date of organization, names of of&#6684777;cers, etc.
Each overseer should be able to know at any time the name and ad
dress of every minister located in his state. He should also know the
number of members in his state, keeping a record of the increase as well
as the decrease, so information can be obtained each year as to the total
membership. This can be done by keeping in touch with the clerks of
the churches.
Every minister and every clerk should take an interest in imparting
this information to the overseer of their state.
In co-operation with the General Overseer they will form the pres
bytery in their respective states.
Duties of Regional Overseer
The duties of the regional overseers appointed by the General Over
seer shall be identical to those of the state overseer as listed above.
&#5505128;e duties of the regional overseers appointed by the state overseers
shall be identical to those of the district overseer as listed below.
Duties of District Overseer
To moderate business conferences for women preachers who may be
acting as pastors, and men who may not be licensed if they are taking
care of churches in his district.
To do evangelistic work in his district if he has time. If he has a dis
&#7602290;ict with no churches it is his duty to evangelize and organize churches.
For convenience it is often thought best for a pastor of a strong church
in the district to be selected as district overseer so the church can
serve as a means of his support.
The district overseers are to be appointed by the state overseers, there
fore, they are subject to the state overseers.
Duties of National or Colonial Overseer
The national or colonial overseers who are appointed by the regional
overseers will have the oversight of their particular country or colony,
and their duties shall be identical to those of the district overseer as
listed above.
