Prefatory Notes
The 63rd Annual Assembly was one of our greatest. The Lord blessed
with an abund&#6357102;t outpouring of His goodness and gave Divine guidance.
Those on the &#6684777;eld since the Assembly have found the same spirit.
Our people cooperated in making the Assembly successful. The clerks,
committeemen, ushers, overseers and other ministers faithfully performed
their duties. Our city and county officials blessed the delegates with words of
commendation and encouragement. The musicians and singers were a great
blessing during this spiritual feast. The public address operators worked
faithfully, and the Radio Department recorded the Assembly on tape.
The Public Relations Department released reports of various activities
of the Assembly, and distributed these to the news media. Visual Aids
supplied newspapers and individuals with pictures of the highlights of
the Assembly. This Department supervised the pre-recorded and live
radio broadcasts that informed the public of the Assembly activities
a total of two hours and &#6684777;fty minutes daily.
Thousands of our precious members of the Church. attended-lively
stones, making up the spiritual house spoken of by the apostle Peter. The
registration was 12,002; 854 from Cleveland and 11,148 from the United
States, Bahamas, Brazil, Canada, Costa Rica, El Salvador, England, Haiti,
Honduras, Guyana, India, Jamaica, Leeward Islands, Mexico, Panama,
Puerto Rico, Venezuela, and Virgin Islands.
An overflow crowd attended the service at Fields of the Wood on Tues
day. More than 3,000 attended the evening meetings at the tent on the
Keith Street property.
We are grateful to God for His sweet presence, and the Holy Ghost in
our midst. It was as if Jesus, the Son of God, were sitting and walk
ing among us. Without this, all would have been in vain.
The next General Assembly of the Church of God will be August 26
through September 1, 1969, at the Memorial Auditorium, McCallie Avenue,
Chattanooga, Tennessee.
M. A. TOMLINSON
General Overseer

7:45 NEWS FROM AROUND THE WORLD! J&#6357101;es CampbeH from
the north, David Sco&#6684777;eld from the east, C. E. Hyatt from the south, Clif
ford Blumenthal from the west, and D. Joseph from across the sea.
Brother Campbell spoke of how the members in the north appreciate the
Church and have a zeal to move on. Brother Sco&#6684777;eld referred to the
psalmist David and how the Lord had done marvelous things in the east;
many are coming into the Church from other denominations. Brother
Hyatt told of the church building program in Louisiana and a new church
organized by A. L. Cooke, who has just moved to Louisiana from Eng
land. Brother Blumenthal read Luke 4:18, 19 and spoke of great re
vivals and how the Spirit of the Lord was falling in the west. Brother
Joseph stated that 700 new members were gained in India and that God
is moving in a wonderful way.
8:10 Concert prayer for a successful Assembly.
8:15 Message by J. A. Jimenez, Field Secretary, "The Manifestations
of the Sons of God." (Brother Jimenez preached in Spanish and Felix
Garcia interpreted.) Scripture: Romans 18:19. William H. Brooks led
congregation in prayer for the message. Excerpts:
"Manifestation means a public demonstration of a sentiment or an opin
ion. In Mexico City, there was a great demonstration. It was put on
by the youth against certain things that they considered to be contrary.
In Los Angeles, Watts district, there was another &#6750322;eat demonstration
or manifestation. In Guatemala, another. It is my personal opinion that
the young people of today want to manifest against something they are
not in accord with. They are not afraid to make known their pub-

8 MINUTES OF THE 63RD ANNUAL ASSEMBLY
lie oprmon. Some have died because of these demonstrations, but they
did not care to lose their lives if it would make clear their way of
thinking. This brought to mind what the apostle Paul said, 'For the
earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the
sons of God.' Expectation in Spanish means to yea&#7471214; for in some very
uncomfortable or undesirable position.
"I feel that the Lord is going to work this manifestation through
the Church of God in these last days. I don't know but what the apostle
Paul was saying will have ful&#6684777;llment in these days when he said to the
Corinthians, 'Now I beseech you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Je
sus Christ, that ye all speak the same thing, and that there be no di
visions among you .. .' God always does great things; His wisdom is
profound; His power great. In my opinion, He permitted these mani
festations to provoke the children of God to do something about the cause
that we feel. These multitudes need the message of salvation and the
uni&#6684777;cation of &#7602280;e children of God.
"Brother Connor, from Curacao, organized a church in Venezuela this
year, and I conducted a two-week revival in June. Every night, pente
costal ministers came to hear the message. Many of the people who
visited would speak to me of their spiritual condition; that they had been
joined together, but are now scattered. The Lord said on one occasion
that the people were as sheep without a shepherd; but thank God, He left
His Church to keep the fold. We are going to have to make some greater
manifestation of the Spirit of Christ to be able to gather these people.
"A pastor in Colorado said his church would support him &#6684777;nancially
until he expressed his desire to join the Church of God; then, they left
him. Many of the Sons of God are afraid of the Church of God. Jacob
said, ' ... How dreadful is this place! this is none other but the house of
God, and this is the gate of heaven.' The devil has put fear in &#7602280;e Sons
of God for the Church. Paul said, ' ... to make all men see what is
the fellowship of the mystery . . .' This is the essential point of our
work. The Bible says that the Church has the message of peace, hope,
salvation, the uni&#6684777;cation of the Sons of God, and perfection. As Jesus was
manifest unto the people, so the Church will be manifest today.''
Brother Jimenez invited all that would like to receive the Holy Ghost
to come to the altar. Musicians played as the seekers came. Concert
prayer for those coming to the Assembly.

message by Harry Lee Moore, Radio Minister. Excerpts:
"Is the world drawing closer to the midnight of nuclear holocaust?
Many leading men believe that it is. Paul warned that we should know
the time. 'And that, knowing the time, that now it is high time to
awake out of sleep .. .' Romans 13:11. Not only do certain prophetic
events point us to the close of this dispensation, but also the very signs
of the times in world events indicate the late hour.
"Consider also the words of Jesus as He foretold of events immedi&#2949154;
ately preceding the close of the Gentile dispensation, 'And there shall
be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the
earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring.'
Luke 21:25.
• •

10 MINUTES OF THE 63RD ANNUAL ASSEMBLY
"Equally disturbing is the great decline of morals among civilized man.
The Church today must constantly be on gua
r
d against the insidious
rot of moral apostasy which is running rampant in our world . . . the
Church of God gives notice to this world that we endorse, cherish and
covet the pure and unadulterated moral principles of God.
"Even events in the religious world are pointing us to the lateness
of the hour. The religious world is facing a growing apostasy on one
hand and a synthesis on the other. Against the avalanche of powerless
religion, this imposing body of God's saints must hold even higher the
unchanging Word, exalt more fully the changeless Christ, and demon
strate more explicitly the unity of our faith.
"I should hope that during this Assembly the ominous nature of world
events would press upon us the urgency of this hour. If we are truly
cognizant of prophecy, can we shake off Paul's admonition that 'it is
high time to awake out of sleep'? If nuclear scientists are alarmed
about the hands on the doomsday clock being on 'seven minutes till mid
night,' shouldn't we demonstrate concern?
"At a certain denominational convention less than two years ago, a
poll revealed that 33 per cent of the delegates had doubts concerning
the existence of God, 36 per cent expressed doubts about the deity of
Christ, 31 per cent doubted a life after death, 62 per cent questioned
miracles acutally happened just as the Bible said they did, and 77 per cent
denied that the devil actually existed. Two-thirds of the delegates polled
were clergymen.
". . . the very nea&#7471214;ess of that hour should cause us all to renew and
double our efforts to propagate the message of these last days to every
creature and prepare God's fold for the influx of God's children."
8:55 Brother Moore prayed and invited those needing the Holy Ghost
to come to the altar. The Voice of Salvation choir sang "Only Trust
Him" as the seekers came to the altar.
Wednesday, September 11

nacle and continued to play as the General Overseer, overseers, and
general workers marched to the platform.

Sadler organist. C. D. Lord read Psalm 29. Requests were made and
J. W. Wood prayed, followed by concert prayer.
8:45 Opening of the Assembly. The General Overseer spoke concern
ing the nea&#7471214;ess of the Lord's retu&#7471214; and how the Church must accept
its responsibility to spread the Gospel. He read James 3:1-14, and prayed
that each one would be subject to the Holy Ghost.

9:28 Since laymen will help write the Church's last chapter, it is time
to quit POLISHING THE GRAIN and GET EVERY MEMBER TO
BRING FORTH-message on "Spiritual Reproduction" by A. R. Waggett.
Scripture text: John 15:16. Excerpts:
"The primary interest of God has always been a love for the world.
In God's program by natural production, we have all been brought to
life. In spiritual production, God has instituted a program through the
Church that the Church should bring forth spiritual children. God's love
for the world is to be the heart throb of the Church. There should be
a love within the Church for the world, not the things of the world, but
the people who make up the world.
"Christ was God's choice. John 3:16 reveals that God so loved the
world that He gave His Son. There wasn't any hope for the Church with
in the world. Our help came from outside the world, for there was no
help within the world.
"Jesus said, 'I have chosen you.' This is not a choice of man, but the
choice of God's Son, that we whom He has chosen work for Him while
it is yet day. The time is short and pressure is great; we will have to
hurry to get the work accomplished. He chose us to be His disciples.
This means that our being and our purpose is a direct and desirable
choice of the Son of God. He not only said 'I have chosen you,' but 'I
have ordained you.' This gives us the power, the authority, and the right
to go.
"Our entanglement is involved within the world and not so much in
the Church. Our program has somehow been stymied because we have
made the Church our whole &#6684777;eld of endeavor. We have gathered the

12 MINUTES OF THE 63RD ANNUAL ASSEMBLY
grain and have passed it around from auxiliary to auxiliary. We have pol
ished the grain, but where it needs to work is in the &#6684777;eld-the world.
Spiritual reproduction means there must first be an implanting or dying
out to bring forth the grain. The grain is only fruitful when it is in the
&#6684777;eld bringing forth its productivity. To save our people, we feel they
must be con&#6684777;ned within the house of the Church; but let's throw them
back into the world. Don't give them to the world, but send them into
the world, that they might be the saver of the world.
"Light that shines in the daytime is wasted power. Where the light
does the most good is where the world is dark. Our light is not to shine
within the Church, but in the world, before men. Your heart is God's
pulpit and you should speak from t&#7077979;1at pulpit wherever you are.
"Jesus said, 'As the Father has sent Me, so send I you.' We need to
understand the importance of the Son of God and the work that He
sent us forth to do. We have rested too long. The whole Church is to go
and take the message of Jesus Christ. Let us break down the barriers
we have built, and reach the world. Don't you believe that He is able?
"He said if you go, you will bring forth fruit. This is a spiritual
program of reproduction. Everyone is capable of bringing souls to Christ.
If we will take the commission and understand the choice that Christ
has made, the ordination, accept the enablement and the power He has
given us, we can go and the world will know that Christ has sent us and
God sent Him.
"' ... and that your fruit should remain .. .' We are trying to keep the
fruit, when He is telling us to go, and He will keep the fruit. Leave
the keeping in the hands of God almighty, and meet your fellowman
with the message of reconciliation. Give God a pulpit, and He will preach
from it. He will use every opportunity to speak through your life, when
you will give Him His pulpit."
9:50 "How Great Thou Art" was sung by C. E. Hyatt; the ABM state
secretaries joined on the chorus.
10:00 Prayer by Mario Gandia, followed by concert prayer.
10:05 Message by Secretary-"The Church On Soul Winning.'' Excerpts:
"It is the duty of every Christian to win souls. My message is a plea
for help. The ministers cannot do this alone. Total commitment and
total involvement of every Church member is necessary. Jesus said, 'Go
ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the
Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Teaching them to observe
all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you
alway, even unto the end of the world.' Matthew 28:19, 20.
"A burden for souls does not rob one of joy and happiness in the Lord,
but it does prohibit ease in Zion. It puts the Spirit and vision of calvary
in our witnessing for the Lord. There are two kinds of evangelism. For
the Church of God, it has been mass evangelism. We haven't done much
about personal evangelism. It is good to invite someone to church,
but you need to go a step further and invite them to meet Jesus Christ.
" 'And daily in the temple, and in every house, they ceased not to
teach and preach Jesus Christ.' Acts 5:42. We need a 20/20 vision. 'And
how I kept back nothing that was pro&#6684777;table unto you, but have shewed

MINUTES OF THE 63RD ANNUAL ASSEMBLY 13
you, and have taught you publickly, and &#6684786;om house to house.' Acts 20:20.
Some think their lives are their only witness, but we need to go and do
something for God. The early Church went from house to house.
"People are going to psychiatrists and psychologists, when we should
be taking them to Jesus Christ. We must recapture the zeal and the com
passion of the early Church. We must teach our people to be soul win
ners-this is the way to keep them. Every Christian is called to win souls.
"It has been proven that most sinners do not go to church; however,
10 per cent of the sinners in the United States have attended church.
Only 5 per cent of Christians have ever won a soul to Jesus Christ. Is
it fair to expect a sinner to come to the house of God, if we are not will
ing to take Jesus Christ to him?
"Someone said that we have about evangelized the Church to death.
Isn't it about time to evangelize the world? &#5505128;e church-building concept
of evangelizing the world is the greatest hindrance to world evangel
ism. Not because we have church buildings, but because we won't move
out of them. It is not isolation we need, it's insulation. We need to be
insulated with the Holy Ghost so that we can go into the world and be
a witness among them and not be contaminated by sin. 'But ye shall
receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall
be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria,
and unto the uttermost part of the earth.' Acts 1:8. Moses said, ' ... would
God that all the Lord's people were prophets, and that the Lord would
put his spirit upon them!' Numbers 11:29. What was the purpose or mis
sion of Jesus Christ? ' ... Christ Jesus came into the world to save
sinners .. .' 1 Timothy 1:15.
"When we understand the concept of soul winning, then His purpose
becomes our purpose-to save souls. Jesus Christ was the great shep
herd and the greatest teacher the world has known, and yet He had
time for the woman at the well, Nicodemus, or a multitude. May God
help us to grasp this concept."
10:35 Leslie Porter played a tape recording of &#7602280;e interpretation of a
message in tongues given on Saturday night during the Alabama Con
vention. The essence of the message was that the Lord will move with
a mighty revival. Brother Hunter led congregation in singing "The Move
Is On.'' The Spirit of the Lord fell and a message in tongues was in
terpreted: "Listen I say unto thee. Listen my people. As I was in the
convention in Alabama, so I am here today. I will reaffirm sayings here.
I will be with thee here as I spoke to them there. These are my peo
ple, you will go, I will go with you. And I say unto thee, you've heard
it said, you've heard it preached, it has been published. Time is getting
short. Time is getting short, don't keep waiting. Go now, go now, go
now!" The congregation knelt and prayed. Brother Hunter led the con
gregation in "Where He Leads Me I Will Follow."
10:55 Hector Ortiz prayed.
10:58 The presence of the Holy Ghost was very near, and C. T. Davidson
felt like he should concede his time to the Holy Ghost. He read Mat
thew 28:19, 20 and John 16:15, and spoke of how we cannot do without
the leadings of the Lord. He was lead to present the General Overseer
to the congregation as "the General of this Army of the Lord." A mes
sage in tongues was interpreted: "Yea I say unto thee, I have chosen

14 MINUTES OF THE 63RD ANNUAL ASSEMBLY
this man, I affirm him before, I affirm him now. Yea, my spirit is upon
him, listen to him, obey him, walk with him, be careful how you speak.
Yea, I say unto thee my spirit is upon thee, yea when thou submit thy
self to my spirit thou shalt never make a mistake. When thou abideth
before thy spirit thou shalt walk in darkness. I say unto thee, I gave
him for thy leading, yea, humble thyselves children, walk in my spirit.
I have put my spirit upon thee, thou shalt be great in my hands when
thou be obedient and walk together as one man." Another interpreta
tion: "Yea, I say unto thee. You remember how it appeared that you
couldn't get a General Overseer in those days. You remember how that
you counselled in your room. You remember how that I appeared upon
this man on his bed. You remember how that you stood him before the
world, and you wrapped him with the flag. As I was with him in that
day and with you in making the appointment, I am the same God to
day. I haven't made a mistake. There is no mistake with me. He has
led you this far. I know he has had opposition, persecution, some to op
pose, even some even left, but I am still with you, and I will be with
you till the end. I'm going to &#6684777;nish my work. You are my people, do
what I have told you. You might not understand everything, but it will
all clear up afterwhile." Brother Hunter read historical statement:
"I have something to say in regard to our General Overseer. It is a
matter of history.
"Twenty-&#6684777;ve years ago next month, A. J. Tomlinson moved out of a
much-used, tired body (temple of clay) to be with the Lord. He, as all
saints do at death, experienced an invigoration and exhilaration hereto
fore unknown as he swept into the portals of glory!
"The funeral was set, and the body lay in state in the Tabernacle. Per
haps some wondered, 'Who will be the General Overseer?' In fact, some
may have been distressed regarding the matter.
"In any case, as the people came by to shake hands with the family,
there was one whose attitude was made possible by the Spirit of -the Lord.
At such a time when hearts are heavy and members of a family are grief
stricken, his attitude was, 'THE WORK MUST GO ON.' And it did. And
it shall!
"The overseers met in the upper room of the Headquarters Capitol
Building at eight o'clock on &#5505128;ursday morning, October 7, for the pur
pose of selecting a General Overseer to &#6684777;ll the office until the next An
nual Assembly. Authorization for such a meeting was given during the
Eighth Annual Assembly, 'We further recommend that if at any time there
comes a need by disability from any cause, and the office of General Over
seer should be declared vacant, a General Overseer be selected by the
state overseers to &#6684777;ll the office until the next Annual Assembly.'
"This was carried out, and M. A. Tomlinson was selected to be Gen
eral Overseer. During the Assembly held September 13-19, 1944, in Cleve
land, Tennessee, M. A. Tomlinson was unanimously accepted by the As
sembly, and to this day remains in this high office.
"Prior to this unanimous selection of M. A. Tomlinson for Gen
eral Overseer, the one who had been selected by the overseers to serve
as clerk read his notes in the face of the Assembly. Said notes were
unanimously accepted without any question or discussion. These notes
appear on pages 21-27 in the Minutes of the 39th Annual Assembly.
I know because I was selected to be that clerk.

MINUTES OF THE 63RD ANNUAL ASSEMBLY 15
"During this meeting the Holy Ghost spoke, saying, 'Bring forth thy
younger son.' How like the situation when Samuel went to the house
of Jesse the Bethlehemite to anoint a successor to King Saul! Looking
on the outward appearance, he thought to anoint one other than God's
selection: 'But the Lord said unto Samuel, look not on his countenance,
or on the height of his stature; because I have refused him: for &#7602280;e
Lord seeth not as man seeth; for man looketh on the outward appear
ance, but the Lord looketh on the heart.' 1 Samuel 16:7.
"The fact was, David wasn't even in the line-up. He was away car
ing for his father's sheep. M. A. Tomlinson was not in attendance at this
meeting held October 7, but had been away-pastor of the local church
at Henderson, Kentucky-caring for the Father's 'sheep.'
"The Word of God says, 'TOUCH NOT MINE ANOIN&#5505093;D .. .' 1 Chron
icles 16:22. All are admonished today to take heed to this scripture.
David could easily have killed Saul. It would have been no problem. But
he didn't.
"On that Friday, September 15, 1944, the morning M. A. Tomlinson
was selected by the Assembly as General Overseer, the Holy Ghost
spoke again, saying:
" 'Follow thou him, for I say unto thee, I will guide his every step.
He shall commit himself unto me, and I the Lord thy God shall put my
Spirit upon him. I will guide his every action. Follow thou him, for I
am with him.' "
All state overseers joined the General Overseer on the platform and
prayed for him.
11:20 Congregation repeated Psalm 150. Alvin S. Moss prayed.
11:25 Message by L. S. Rhodes-"The Fear Of The Lord.'' Excerpts:
" 'Cry out and shout, thou inhabitant of Zion: for great is the Holy
One of Israel in the midst of thee.' Isaiah 12:6. It is good to stay with
the Lord. I feel that we, His children, are in desperate need of the fear
of God. We will be dependable members with the fear of the Lord. With
out it we are disquali&#6684777;ed. 'Moreover thou shalt provide out of all the
people able men, such as fear God, men of truth, hating covetousness;
and place such over them, to be rulers of thousands, and rulers of hun
dreds, rulers of &#6684777;fties, and rulers of tens.' Exodus 18:21. David said,
'Come, ye children, hearken unto me: I will teach you the fear of the
Lord. 0 fear the Lord, ye his saints: for there is no want to them that
fear him.' Psalm 34:11, 9. ' ... the fear of the Lord is his treasure.' Isaiah
33:6. 'The angel of the Lord encampeth round about them that fear
him, and delivereth them.' Psalm 34:7. The fear of the Lord is to hate
evil, pride, and arrogancy. With the fear of the Lord, men depart from
evil.
"'The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom: and the knowl
edge of the holy is understanding.' Proverbs 9:10. Beginning means &#6684777;rst.
If you do not have the fear of the Lord, how can you get wisdom and
knowledge? What can a man do in the Church of God without the wis
dom from above? His work will not prosper.
"The &#6684777;rst General Overseer said, 'But the wisdom that is from above
is &#6684777;rst pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be intreated, full of

16 MINUTES OF THE 63RD ANNUAL ASSEMBLY
mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hyp&#7274595;risy.' James
3:17. This is the wisdom that is laid up for the righteous, and before
you can have access to this wisdom, you must fear God. ' ... wisdom
and knowledge shall be the stability of thy times, and streng&#7602280; of sal
vation . . .' Isaiah 33:6. It takes more than a high school diploma to
teach in Tomlinson College. Without the wisdom and knowledge from
&#3801185;bove, we are disquali&#6684777;ed to be a leader in the Church of God.
"&#5505128;e Bible says, 'Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand
of God, that he may exalt you in due time.' Some refuse to listen to
the General Overseer. They need wisdom! But before &#7602280;ey can get wis
dom, they must have the fear of the Lord. 'By h&#7667821;ility and the fear
of the Lord are riches, and honour, and life.' Proverbs 22:4.
"The fear of the Lord is our protection. Joseph was tried, but the fear
of the Lord was his protection. '. . . fear &#7602280;e Lord, and depart from
evil.' Proverbs 3:7.
"If a state overseer, district overseer, pastor, or band leader does not
fear the Lord, they are disqualified. Men that fear God will tell the
truth. ' ... for out of the abundance of the heart &#7602280;e mouth speaketh.'
Matthew 12:34. If the heart is not right, the tongue is not right. You
must fear the Lord to be quali&#6684777;ed! We have so many churches today
that are at a stand-still--they are weakening away. The man behind the
pulpit can build the church or he can destroy it. Without wisdom and
knowledge-which takes the fear of God-he cannot build the church. &#5505128;e
Lord giveth the increase. Let's lift our hands and say 'Lord, help me.' "
Brother Hunter led the congregation in "Give Me That Old Time Religion.''
12:00 Presentation of Awards by General Secretary.

2:00 Prayer for Brother Stubbs. Message "Last Days Events Indicate
the Near Coming of the Lord-Time to Give Our Best for God and His
Church,"
-
by General Secretary. Excerpts:
"God is still the Master of the entire universe. Nothing will change
God's plan and program for His people. I refer to Ecclesiastes 3:1 and
Isaiah 41:15. 'And all the inhabitants of _the earth are reputed as noth
ing: and he doeth according to his will in the army of heaven, and among
the inhabitants of the earth: and none can stay his hand, or say unto
him, What doest &#7602280;ou?' There is no hindrance to God. ' ... I am God,
and there is none else ... Declaring the end from the beginning ... '
Isaiah 46:9, 10. Let us go into the personi&#6684777;cation of last days events.
(Used state secretaries)
"Mr. Trouble, seems like you're everywhere-just won't be still. Dan
iel said, '. . . and there shall be a time of trouble, such as never was
since there was a nation even to that same time: and at that time thy
people shall be delivered, every one that shall be found written in the
·
book.' Why, that's the resurrection of the righteous and the rapturing
away of the saints! Jesus described you, 'For then shall be great tribu-

MINUTES OF THE 63RD ANNUAL ASSEMBLY 19
lation, such as was not since the begi&#7209070;ing of the world to this time,
no, nor ever shall be. And except those days should be shortened, there
should no flesh be saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be
shortened.' Matthew 24:21, 22.
"Mr. Travel, Daniel said, ' ... many shall run to and fro .. .' Isn't
that what you are doing? Did you know that touring and business travel
are major industries throughout the world? Nahum said, ' ... The chari
ots shall rage in the streets, they shall justle one against another in the
broad ways: they shall seem like torches, they shall run like the light
nings.' Mr. Travel takes more lives than the war in Viet Nam.
"Mr. Knowledge, do you know that you have doubled in the last 15
years? The experts predict that in the next 10 years, or less, you will
double again. '. . . even to the time of the end: many shall run to and
fro, and knowledge shall be increased.' Daniel 12:4.
"I have heard about Mr. War all of my life. The disciples asked Je
sus, ' ... what shall be the sign of thy coming, and the end of the world.'
He said, 'And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars . . .. For na
tion shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom .. .' Mr.
War has the commission to take peace from the earth and cause people
to kill one another. He even causes disputes .in families-sinful wars.
People don't feel secure anywhere. Some people feel that membership
in the Church is safety, but 'All the sinners of my people shall die by
the sword, which say, The evil shall not overtake nor prevent us.' Amos
9:10. Some of our people don't ha&#3801206;e the Holy Ghost, they are not ready
to go &#7274606; to perfection. Mr. Prefection, we want you to move till we've
got our people established in the principles of the doctrine.-Read Jere
miah 25:30 .. The sword (Revelation 6:4) is to take peace from the earth
&#2949266;ven peace between the brethren, cau�ing people to kill one another.
"Mr. Other Sheep, we are glad to see you on the move. 'And other
sheep I have, which are not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they
shall hear my voice; and there shall be one fold, and one shepherd.'
John 10:16. ' ... gather together in one the children of God that were
scattered abroad.' John 11:52. The same spirit that moved the animals
to the ark will move the other sheep to the fold .. Many churches .are
breaking tradition-receiving the Holy Ghost, being healed.
"Mr. Church, stand still. ' ... the zeal of thine house hath eaten me
up .. .' Psa&#7077997; 69:9. 'I will stand upon my watch . . . Write the vision,
and make it plain upon tables, that he may run that readeth it. For the
vision is yet for an appointed time, but at the end it shall speak, and
not lie .. .' Habakkuk 2:1-3. Twelve markers will tell the story of
Christ and the Church-types and shadows. Six have already been made
and the seventh is in the making. We are half through with the mark
ing program. Mr. Church is going to take over soon-watch him!
"There is one more last days event-Mr. Perfection. Many of our
churches still have a grey honor stone, and some don't have an honor
stone. I would like to turn you loose, Mr. Perfection. Some members tell
me they are praying for the Church of God; they want it to shine. Paul
said, 'Let us run the race .. .' Mr. Perfection, you need some spiritual
exercis&#2949266;you have been standing too long.
" 'The prophets prophesy falsely, and the priests bear rule • by their
means; and my people love to have it so: and what will ye do in the

20 MINUTES OF THE 63RD &#4259918;NU&#4259916; ASSEMBLY
end thereof?' Jeremiah 5:31. >Pe.ople· want to be a church member, they
want to be religious, but they don't want the inconvenience of a dedi
cated life. In the parable of sower and seed, some were choked with
cares of this life and deceitfulness of riches, and others btought forth
fruit (Isaiah 65:13, 1�). 'And because iniquity shall abound, the love
of many shall wax cold.' Matthew 24:12. Revelations tells that some who are
lukewarm will be spewed out while others were taught how to be a
vessel unto honor-sancti&#6684777;ed and meet for the Master's use.
"A person that through adverse circumstances, disappointment, grief, and
sorrow has still found time to be righteous-seal him in! What will you
do when Jesus comes to reward every man according as his works shall
be? Jeremiah told us that the way of man is not "in himself. Brethren,
we don't know which way to go within ourself, we have to let the Church
of God teach us, because by the Church will be known the manifold wis
dom of God. The move is on. The last days events are all around us."
Brother_ Stubbs had the congregation pray for the people everywhere.
3:10 I Went to the Holy Land This Year-report and testim_onies di
rected by A. T. Wagar. Brother Wagar described their tour of the Holy
Land and said he considered it an honor to go. Brother Willis was award
ed this trip for gaining &#6684777;fty members for the Church in South Caro
lina. He told how impressive it was to be where Jesus had been.
Esther Wagar said it was a dream come true to go to the Holy Land.
Buford Johnson told how he prayed at the "Rock of Agony" where Jesus
had prayed and his visit to the Sea of Galilee. Brother Wagar stated
that many are visiting the Horns of Hattin marker.

4:05 Message by E. L. Jones, Field Secretary. " .. And the spirit of
the Lord shall rest upon him ... " Isaiah 11:2a. (Brother Jones sang
"Living By Faith" before his message). Excerpts:
"Isaiah 11:1-9 covers a stretch of Jewish history that is important to
the Christian world and especially to members of the Church of God. I
realize at times it is difficult to trust and believe the Word of God. How
ever, Agar was not a child of God and he said 'Every word of God is
pure: he is a shield unto them that put their trust in him.' Proverbs 30:5.
In the life of Naomi, it seemed that prophecy would not be ful&#6684777;lled;
but God worked things out according to His will. I believe in the prom
ises of God.
"&#5505128;e prophet said, 'And there shall come forth a rod out of the stem
of Jesse and a Branch shall grow out of his roots: And the spirit of
the Lord shall rest upon him, the spirit of wisdom and understanding,
the spirit of counsel and might, the spirit of knowledge and of the fear
of the Lord; And shall make him of quick understanding in the fear of
the Lord: and he shall not judge after the sight of his eyes, neither re
prove after the hearing of his ears.' Isaiah 11:1-3. How many of you
believe we need the Spirit of the Lord to rest upon us today? I believe
with the special kind of work that is committed to the Church of God
that we need a special kind of personality. 2 Kings 2 tells of the many
things Elijah accomplished for God. However, we need to know more
in this age, if we are to win the world to the Church of God-without
destroying them. The Son of Man is not come to des&#7602290;oy the lives of men,
but to save them. 'How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy
Ghost and with power: who went about doing good, and healing all that
were oppressed of the devil; for God was with him.' Acts 10:38. The
Spirit of the Lord will lead us through troubled times. It will help us
solve and master every problem. There is a law in the Church of God,
and it is operated by love and the Spirit of God.
" 'Beloved, believe not every spirit, but· try the spirits whether they
are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.'
1 John 4:1. &#5701736;at kind of spirit are we motivated by? God has only one
Spirit and that is a good one. Zechariah said, ' ... Not by might, nor
by power, but by my spirit, saith the Lord of hosts.' The Spirit shall
rest upon Him! I feel the Holy Ghost resting upon us now. It will
take the Spirit of God to lead us into all the world to convince men in
these troubled times that God has one Church for all."
5:00 Dismissed by congregation saying "Praise the Lord."

the blessing it has been to her.

ing Camp has been in England for six years and during this time the
number of churches has doubled and the membership has tripled. He be
lieves Bible Training Camp would bene&#6684777;t any country.
Funds to Support Schools in Other Countries-Larry Turner. He men
tioned that Bible school is in &#6684777;ve continents, and the funds raised will

important part of the school, since many cannot attend the regular sch&#7274607;ls.

7:25 Concert prayer for offering and the Bible schools to be held in
the coming year.
7:27 Roberta Matthews sang "Sweet Holy Spirit."
7:30 "Unity of the Faith" message by William H. Brooks. Excerpts:
"'And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangel-
ists; 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 ful
ness of Christ.' Ephesians 4:11-13. The Lord saw that the church
es needed some ministers. He gave different titles for the ones who
would be working at the perfecting of the saints. The ministry is for
the edifying of the Body of Christ. Edifying means to build up to straight
en, to encourage. Saints will never be made perfect unless they are
encouraged. When we, as ministers, can preach and teach until our mem
bers become strong spiritually, then we can be one in unity and God
will bless the Church of God. I don't believe you can have the knowl
edge of the Son of God as a body, until we all have the unity of the
faith. When we obtain the knowledge of the Son of God, we will move
as one body to the perfect man and will reach the measure and the stature
of Jesus Christ. This is a work of the ministry.
"Other religions and sects are constantly changing from one thing to
another, but the Church knows its purpose in the world and she is s&#7602290;iv
ing to reach that purpose-being one in Christ Jesus. Ministers sho&#7667820;d
not only preach alike, they should think alike. In Jude 3-5, he saw the
condition that existed among the people. Earnestly means serious state
of mind; contend means to strive or to struggle. So we need to seriously
strive or struggle for the faith that was once delivered unto the saints.
-Unaware means to slip, or to gradually shift position. Some slip in and
tell you they have the blessing, but when they get in you &#6684777;nd out they
didn't have it as they said. Some come in with an earnest heart, and
gradually shift their position. Let us strengthen our position with the
Church. Jude tried again and again to warn the people of these false
teachers. Sometimes you can warn people over and over and because of
their con&#6684777;dence in that person, you cannot reach them.
"Woe upon those that preach not the Gospel of Christ! We need loyal
men and women that will stand &#6684777;rm for Christ and the Church in this
day. God will guide the destiny of His Church, and I'm thankful for
this guiding force, how about you? Faith is a doctrine that is set in oper
ation by one having authority. I believe Christ and the apostles knew
what they were doing when they established the doctrine in the early
Church. Since we are a continuation of that same Church, I believe we
need to respond in the same manner that they did. One reason people
gradually change their position is because they have failed to receive the

24 MINUTES OF THE 63RD ANNUAL ASSEMBLY
teaching to establish them in &#7602280;e Church and its fai&#7602280;. We, as minis
ters· of the Gospel, can declare the council of God-we don't have to be
afraid. Preach it with power and authority-then live it the same way.
We are building for eternity. There is nothing of greater importance than
getting people saved and in the Church, and there is nothing worse than
not establishing them in the faith. Somebody has to teach, and some
body has to train. Everyone cannot attend Bible Training Camp; but
the faith of the Gospel can be taught in the local church.
"The Galatians became confused by false teachings within the Church,
and Paul spoke to them (Galatians 1:6-13). Paul did. not continue to
do the same thing after he became a member that he did before he came
into the Church. At one time, Paul didn't believe in the Church and
persecuted it; then he believed, and stood &#6684777;rm and instructed others in the
same faith. 'Now I beseech you, brethren, by the name of our Lord &#3014730;e
sus Christ, that ye all speak the same thing, and that there be no di
visions among you; but that ye be perfectly joined together in the same
mind and in the same jud&#6750317;ent.' 1 Corinthians 1:10. He believed those that
were divided were carnal minded. People that are ca&#7471214;al minded can
not please God.
"You may have an individual call, but not an individual ministry. Your
rank in the ministry doesn't give you any more access to the gifts in
the Church than it does another minister in the same ministry. One
ministry, several phases of the ministry, several titles that you may go
by, but we are all to preach the same thing and mind the same thing.
"A person doesn't have to criticize the Church to be unfaithful, but
if he fails to uphold the teaching, he is unfaithful. Have you said any
thing for the Church, to upbuild it, to edify it, to help the members and
the saints to become perfect in the Church? This is the duty of the min
istry, regardless of your rank. We are all in the same ministry preach
ing and teaching the people to reach the same state in the Lord.
" 'Thy watchmen shall lift up the voice; with the voice together shall
they sing: for they shall see eye to eye, when the Lord shall bring again
Zion.' Isaiah 52:8. These are positive terms! Peter and Paul declared
that the people should be of one mind. Ministers, we need to work to
gether as one!
"'Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honour to him: for the mar
riage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready.' Revela
tion 19:7. The Church of God will be in unity, come to the knowledge
of the Son of God, be a perfect man in Christ Jesus, and come to the
measure of the fulness of the stature of Christ. Let us do all within our
power to bring the saints and the members of the Church to this unity!"

sent us the Comforter-a gift from Him. This Comforter-the Holy Ghost
-fell as Brother Coalter continued to speak. "And suddenly there came
a sound from heaven as of a rushing &#7143529;ghty wind, and it &#6684777;lled all the
house where they were sitting." Acts 2:2. The altar was &#6684777;lled with
people seeking God, and receiving the gift of the Holy Ghost. The Ba
hama Brass Band furnished music.

MI&#10092789; OF THE 63RD ANNUAL ASSEMBLY 31
"In mathematics, there is three dimensions: length, width, and height.
Some scientists believe there is time. We are familiar with the length,
height, width of any dimension, but the &#6684777;fth dimension is unknown to
man. It is a space that we know nothing about as far as the natural man
is concerned. It is limitless; it has no dimensions. The &#6684777;fth dimensi&#7274606;
is in&#6684777;nity. I believe that there is a dimension of the blessings of God
that is beyond the comprehension of the natural man. Some have been
out there; some are out there &#7471209;ow. They are living in that outer realm
of the spiritual blessings of God.
"Some feel that when they receive the Holy Ghost they have all that
God has for them. In Acts 2; Peter received the Holy Ghost, but he was
not satis&#6684777;ed. He felt that there was a greater dimension of spirituality
for him as an individual. As Peter and John went up to pray in the
temple, they met a man and said, ' ... Silver and gold have I none; but
such as I have give I thee: In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth rise
up and walk.' In the &#6684777;fth dimension, we can say in the name of Jesus,
rise up and walk! What happened to the early Church? They left the
dimension of the Holy Ghost and began to swim in the limitless bless
ings of God. (Acts 4:21-31). They were doing the work &#7602280;at God had
commissioned them to do. There is a difference in having the Holy Ghost
and going into a greater walk with God and greater depths of the spir
itual blessing with the Lord. The Holy Ghost is a leader, a guider, a
teacher. It is an induement of power that unlocks the treasure and
carries us into the &#6684777;fth dimension of the blessings of God. How won
derful it is to be able to stand and say that I know God, He knows me,
I have His power, and I can be used of God, and be a blessing instead of
always receiving a blessing. A natural man does not know anything
about the &#6684777;fth dimension because the Spirit of God takes us there. The
Spirit searches all things--the deep things of God. I believe that we have
a lot of people that have the Holy Ghost, but are lacking in faith, love,
and revelation.
"'Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath
blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ.' Ephe
sians 1:3. Heavenly places is only mentioned in Ephesians. There isn't
an adjective in the English Language to describe the word heavenly.
What is a heavenly place? It is a supreme spiritual experience with
God where Jesus Christ rules, controls, inspires, and anoints everything.
It is a service where things are caused by God. Sometimes churches
get stalemate. They level off with the Holy Ghost and fail to continue
on with consecration, dedication, prayer, and fasting until they cannot
be led into this greater dimension. The conversation becomes more of
the natural man. The heavenly place is where the conversation is about
Christ. Since I am a natural man and have a tendency to lean toward
the natural, what must God do? He must send the. Holy Ghost to me,
and when I have yielded to Him, the Holy Ghost takes me out into deep
waters. I begin to swim in love, peace, tranquility, power, and glory. I
&#6684777;nd no bottom to this ocean of God's &#6684777;fth dimension.
"Paul wrote, 'Wherefore I also, after I heard of your faith in the Lord
Jesus, and love unto all the saints.' Ephesians 1:15. They loved all the
saints. I don't mean love your buddy, you loved him even before you
were saved; but they loved all of them! 'Cease not to give thanks for
you, making mention of you in my prayers; That the God of our Lord
Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give unto you the spirit of wis
dom and revelation in the knowledge of him: The eyes of your under-

standing being enlightened .. .' Ephesians 1:16-18. You may have been
reared in the Church, but the Holy Ghost alone can unlock the treas
ure chest of wisdom, knowledge, and revelation and let· you see the
mysteries of God. The veil is lifted from the Scripture and you read the
Bible and see things that you never saw before. Why? Because &#7602280;e
eyes of your understanding have been enlightened.
"You'll &#6684777;nd millions of people that believe Jesus Christ is God's Son,
and that God has a Church-His Bride. They have a vision of it, but a
divine revelation is when God removes the carnal mind and causes the
conversation to become: heavenly until your thoughts, talk, and actions
are motivated by heavenly thoughts and the glories of God. This leads
to the &#6684777;fth dimension of God's revelation and you can· stand and say this
is the Church of God of the Bible. You, as an individual, have to jou&#7471214;ey
into the &#6684777;fth dimension.
"This experience is not earthly, this is heavenly and: it takes the Holy
Ghost to make the journey from earth to glory and lead us into that
deeper walk with God. A self-centered, self-satis&#6684777;ed church will not
acquire this standard of spirituality. It's going to cost somebody some
prayer, fasting, and sleepless nights. You can't have a divided mind. Your
mind can't be on the things of the world and on the things of God at
the same time. &#5701736;at are we in the world for? Christ said to preach
the Gospel, to baptize in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, to
lay hands on the sick, speak in tongues, take up serpents, and give out
messages. Be loyal and work for the Church of God. It's going to take
the favor of God."
The Holy Ghost spoke and the interpretation: "Listen, listen my little
ones. I give thee the anointing. I have outlined this program for thee.
Yea, my children, listen to me. I am calling you to be one. Lift up the
standard of the early Church. Lift up the standard of the last days. Yea,
my people, I am calling thee, to one. This is my anointed leader, this
is the program of the Church. This is in the last days time. I'm calling
thee to be one." Another, "Yea, my children, listen. I have placed my
anointing upon this man. Yea, why do you want to take him out. Look
up, look up. I am guiding this Church. Why are you so confused? Get
down to business. I am soon coming. Lift up my standard to the world."
Everyone praised the Lord and Brother Fisher continu&#6619236;.
"How wonderful it would be for our 110,000 members to have the Holy
Ghost and swimming in the faith, power, love, and revelation of the
Church! It would be nothing to double our membership in one year. Peter
preached one message and 3,000 were added in one day. Later, 5,000 were
added.
"Mathematically, there is no &#6684777;fth dimension, and from the standpoint
of knowledge there is no &#6684777;fth dimension. It is only a &#6684777;gure of speech
to speak of in&#6684777;nity and limitedness. There is no limit to the love of
God, faith, power and revelation. It is not a revelation for a certain
number, but it is a divine revelation that grows on with the Church, and
helps you comprehend all that the Church does."

organist.

Introductory
As David sang about the wonders of the Lord, he said, "Blessed is the
nation whose God is the Lord; and the people whom he hath chosen
for his own inheritance." Psalm 33:12.
The majority of the people gathered here today understand that the
Church is " ... the people whom he hath chosen for his own inheritance."
We understand that the Church is a nation-a holy nation. The Church
of God is a blessed nation because God is our Lord.
The Apostle Peter wrote: "But ye are a chosen generation, a royal
priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people ... Which in time past
were not a people, but are now the people of God ... " 1 Peter 2:9, 10.
He had been with Jesus when the disciples questioned Him about the
end. Peter listened to His words of warning and encouragement:
"And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the
stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and
the waves roaring;
"Men's hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things
which are c&#7274605;ing on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken.
"And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power
and great glory.
"And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift
up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh." Luke 21:25-28.
Peter suffered a lot, yet he was full of hope and his vision of the Church
was brighter. He knew that Jesus' predictions would not come to pass

34 MINUTES OF THE 63RD ANNUAL ASSEMBLY
in his day, but he felt it his duty to leave records for our encourage
ment today.
The nations of the earth are in distress. Fear and dread has a large
part of the world's population in its grip. These &#7602280;ings only remind us
of who we are and from whence cometh our help. The world picture
will grow darker, but the Church must recognize her day and be ready
to &#6684777;ll her place in the end-time events.
The time will come when the Church will be God's only station of
operation. She will continue to obey the Lord and His holy doctrine
when others have lowered their standards. Solomon said, "In the fear of
the Lord is strong con&#6684777;dence: and his children shall have a place of
refuge." Proverbs 14:26. "The name of the Lord is a strong tower: the
righteous runneth into it, and is safe." Proverbs 18:10.
God will never leave His children-the righteous-without a refuge,
a place of safety. The Church is not a hiding place for the cowardly. Those
who come to her in the fear of the Lord will not do so just to shun
their duties. They will co&#7209065;e for the loye of the truth and will join with
us in spreading it abroad.
• •
Not everyone will come, but God will give His Church time to herald
the message, and the world· will listen. All men must ". . . see what is
the fellowship of the mystery ... " &#5505128;e decision will be theirs.
These things were mentioned to remind us that the Church of God is
a place of spiritual safety. However, church membership alone will not
save. For the righteous, the children of God, it is our refuge. To the
unsaved, the Church may be a dreadful place. Like Jacob, when he was
fleeing for his life after supplanting his brother. The time will come
when "&#7602280;e sinners in Zion" will be a&#6684786;aid, and fearfulness will surprise
the hypocrites.
According to Isaiah 33, this fear may fall on the Church about the
same time that others come to her for safety. He says: "Look upon Zion,
the city of our solemnities; thine eyes shall see Jerusalem a quiet habi
tation, a tabernacle that shall not be taken down; not one of the stakes
thereof shall ever be removed, neither shall any of the cords thereof
be broken. But there the glorious Lord will be unto us a place of broad
rivers and streams ... " Isaiah 33:20, 21.
It would pay those who are not satis&#6684777;ed in the Church to renew their
faith in the covenant, and put their trust in the Church-which the gates
of hell shall not prevail ·against. The Lord established the Church, and
we should trust both His work and His Word.
Showing further that the Church can be trusted, Isaiah wri&#7602277;s: "Hearken
unto me, my people; and give ear unto me, 0 my nation: for a law shall
proceed from me, and I will make my judgment to rest for a light of
the people.
"My righteousness is near; my salvation is gone forth, and mine arms
shall judge the people; the isles shall wait upon me, and on mine arm
shall they trust . .
. "Awake, awake, put on s&#7602290;ength, 0 arm of the Lord ... " Isaiah 51:4, 5, 9.
It is &#7667822;derstood that the Church represents the arm of the Lord. Can
you think of a safer place to put your trust than on the arm of the Lord?

MINU&#4522151; OF THE 63RD ANNUAL ASSEMBLY 35
Another reassuring verse: "What shall one then answer the� messengers
of the nation? That the Lord hath founded Zion, and the poor of his
people shall trust in it." Isaiah 14:32.
Our Astonishing Doctrine
"And it came to pass, when Jesus had ended these sayings, the peo
ple were astonished at his doctrine:
"For he taught them as one having authority, and not as the scribes."
Matthew 7:28, 29.
People are not astonished at the things .they have become accustomed
to. It takes something unusual to amaze them. The people were ac
customed to the teaching of the scribes and Pharisees when Jesus began
His ministry, but He didn't preach and teach like they did. He had a
message directly from the Father, with the authority to deliver it without
compromise.
Jesus could have given the excuse that He would lose the favor of the
influential people if He didn't preach according to their beliefs. But He
was sent into the world to save the people from their sins and to give
them life. He would not betray His trust. He said:
"For I came down from heaven, not to do mine own will, but the will
of him that sent me." John 6:38.
"I speak that which I have seen with my Fa&#7602280;er ... " John 8:38.
"For I have not spoken of myself; but the Father which sent me, he
gave me a commandment, what I should say, and what I should speak
. . . whatsoever I speak therefore, even as • the Father said unto me, so
I speak." John 12:49, 50.
There were seasons when the multitudes seemed to enjoy His astonish
ing d&#7274595;trine. At other times, they declared His sayings were too hard,
and many of them turned away and walked no more with Him. The
Twelve, with who&#6881390; He had set His Church in order, did not turn away.
&#5701736;y? Because they knew He had the words of eternal life. &#5505128;ey ac
cepted His doctrine as it was, and stood with the Master.
Between the resurrection and the ascension, He said to His disciples:
" ... as my Father hath sent me, even so send I you." John 20:21. If
Jesus had no ambition to do His own will, or speak His own words,
neither should we. If He was true to His trust, so we must be. If the
Father could depend on the One He sent, so we must be faithful to the
One who has sent us.
When a member is accepted into the Church, he is accepted in good
faith and is to abide by the doctrine as he promised. When a minister is
set forth in the Church, he is set forth in good faith that he will abide
by the teachings of the Church and be subject to the General Assembly.
As long
·
as we remain in .the Church, we are expected to be true to our trust.
However, there continues to be rumblings of questions and dissatis
faction, indicating that some are in disagreement with certain points of
doctrine. We hear it said, "It is not that I disagree with the teachings,
but others can't understand the way we teach." We wonder why the
"others" are interested at all if they' are happier where they are. It makes
us think the disagreement is more internal than external.

-36 MINUTES QF THE .63RD ANNUAL AS&#5439534;EMBLY
We canno_t .afford. to fail into the .way .of Balaam,
.
who was never set
tled on the things . the Lord . had· ·already shown him.: The prominent
teachings of the Church of • God
•
were . sought out with great • fear and
trembling by men of God who would settle for nothing less than • the
witness of the Holy Ghost.-The doctrine was not argued, or copied from
other organizations, or accepted on the basis of personal feelings. These
men of God searched the Scriptures as the&#7929902; wept, =prayed, and fasted, not
willing to allow anything to be called Church of God doctrine until it
was .made clear.
Since the Lord favored them so mightily, and they suffered without
flinching or drawing back to start the last days' Church on solid foot
ing, who are we to ask the Lord about these truths, as if He had wavered
or changed His mind? In Balaam's case, the Lord reversed his instruc
tions and put Balaam to the test, but we &#6684777;nd that God's anger was im
mediately kindled • against him because he followed the reversed orders
instead of the original ones. We cannot afford to provoke God's anger
against the Church of God by trifling with the holy doctrine which
has already been made clear, and has been a blessing-to thousands of
members.
We note that it is usually the last few of the twenty-nine prominent
teachings that are questioned most. It would seem that a genuine case
of Bible salvation, sancti&#6684777;cation, and the Holy Ghost . baptism, with the
resultant holiness of life would render all the other teachings easy to obey.
Why would any of our people question our teaching of total abstinence
from liquor or strong drink? What is the use to cavil with others
who try to contend that the Communion wine ·was alcoholic? Or, that
Paul advised Timothy to take a little fermented wine for his health?
&#5505128;e Church teaches "total abstinence" in the light of the scriptures on
the subject rightly divided. Those who wish to use strong drink will have
to remain on the outside.
There is no question about. the harmfulness and &#6684777;lthiness of the use
of tobacco in any form, opium, • morphine, etc. The world· is becoming
convinced of the dangers of lu&#7471209;g cancer and dope addiction. Concern
ing the handling 'of tobacco, the Assembly advised that those who are
forced to handle it on account of their jobs should obtairi another job
a&#3866707; soon as possible. The individual who disobeys is running a spiritual
risk.
Our teaching on meats and drinks forbids us to judge &#7274542;ne another in
these matters, except for strong drink. The Jewish law pertaining to
this is not binding on the Gentile Church. Those who eat and drink things
not judged harmful by the Assembly should not belittle those who ab
stain &#6684786;om them, and those who abstain should not judge those who eat
and drink these things.
A 'holy person will have no problem
·
with the teaching that we must
keep every day holy and not just one day each. week. The Scripture
forbids us to judge one another of the sabbath days. Christ is our rest,
and not the day.
The Church teaches against the wearing of gold for ornament or deco
ration. The Advice to Members states that &#6684777;nger rings, bracelets, ear
rings, necklaces, lockets and large showy pins are unbecoming to a saint
of God. Many saints have lived without wearing these decorations and

we cannot lower our standard to gain those who do not desire to under
stand. -Some· put their wedding bands on after joining the Church. Oth
ers are . not asked to remove them before they join. But the Church
still teaches against the wearing of gold for ornament or decoration, and
those who do so have riot been taught or they are disregarding the teaching.
Another teaching is_ against members belonging to lodges. The oaths and.
the secrecy that are required are against the teachings of Jesus; there
fore, the Church carinot accept members who are unwilling to forsake
membership in a lodge in order to obey Him who did nothing in secret,
and who needed nothing more than His word as His bond.
For the same . reasons, the Church is against swearing. This teach
ing inchides. taking· the Lord's name in vain and the use of profanity.
When a· sinner comes to. God, he gives up these evil habits.
The last of our prominent teachings is against the divorce and remar
riage evil. Regardless of questions against the doctrine; &#7602280;ose established
in the faith know that our teaching on this subject is in agreement with
the Bible. God's Word forbids that any person have more than one
living companion, and all of the exceptions argued to favor double mar
riage are the doctrines of men and cannot be tolerated by God's divine
Church in the light of the scriptures on the subject rightly divided.
The Word Of God and the Holy Ghost has helped us to understand this
evil which is in the world today under the deceptive cover of religion.
We feel sorry because so many have problems in their marriage relations,.
but we rejoice ·in the holy doctrine of the Bible and thank the Lord
for showing us the truth. The enemy has been successful ·in-breaking up
some of the homes of our members, but we must make it clear to all that
if they
·
separate, they must be satis&#6684777;ed not to remarry if .they expect.to
remain ·as members of the Church.·. ••
These teachings which we have discuss_ed may . be astonishing to . others,
,and may have.·
a tendency to separate us from them . .It is not that we
are making a point to be different,. but if we abide by the Word of'
God and keep the teachings of the Church in &#7077993;ne with the Bible, we
·
.
will automatically be different. It may seem that we are turning peo&#3014760;
ple away needlessly, &#6422645;t we will have to leave this. to Gbd. It 1s our
duty to hold up the standard to those around us. . With false . doctrines
&#6684777;lling the earth, the. true $heep will one day be astonished. to· learn that
the Church of God, has never .. .lowered her standard. • When • the Lord:
hisses to the natH&#3801197;s-·from the _ends of the earth, they will • "come with
speed swiftly." In that day we will be glad we earnestly contended for
"the faith which was once delive&#7471148;ed unto the saints." Hallelujah! .
T·he Teaching &#5636242; ini&#7536756;ry ,
It seems that something needs to be· said and done to encourage the
teaching phase of the Church's _ministry. Jesus and Paul included the
teaching ministry in_ their instructions to &#7602280;e Church. Much of Jesus'
ministry was teaching.· Perhaps Paurs most forthright statement concern
ing teaching is Ephesians 4:11, 1&#3014745;: "Ahd 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." .
Another statement with
.
st&#7471150;ong emphasis is Romans l2;6, 7: "Having
then gifts differing according to the grace that is • given to us, whether

38 MINUTES OF THE 63&#5374020; &#4259918;NUAL ASSEMBLY
prophecy, let us prophesy according to the proportion of faith; Or min
istry, let us wait on our ministering: or he that teacheth, on teaching."
These scriptures indicate that teaching has a place in the work of the
ministry. The office of the teacher has been generalized; and little effort
has been made to designate individuals as teachers, as with bishops,
deacons, pastors and evangelists. For this reason, many quali&#6684777;ed teach
ers have stayed in the background. They have been too modest to speak
of their desire to teach; or, they may have felt that others would con
sider them ambitious for a position in the Church. Possibly they doubt
ed their own calling to teach because no provision was made for the
local church to recommend, or officially recognize, them as teachers.
However, teaching will not take the place of preaching. You cannot
educate people into salvation as some believe. There are many s&#6488178;ip
tures to refute this fallacy, and one is: "For after that in the wisdom of
God the world by. wisdom knew not God, it pleased God by the foolish
ness of preaching to save them that believe." 1 Corinthians 1:21.
A teaching program alone will not take the place of heaven-sent, Holy
Ghost-anointed preaching that brings conviction. Teaching is often Holy
Ghost anointed, and it has brought many souls to the knowledge of the
truth. Jesus says we are to go into all the world and preach the Gos
pel; but He also commands us to "Go ye therefore, and teach all na
tions ... " He followed this command with instructions to baptize, which
indicates an element in teaching that will lead a person to feel his need
of salvation. Then He said, "Teaching them to observe all things what
soever I have commanded you ... "
These scriptures show that a mere knowledge of the Word is not sal
vation, but that we teach people their need of salvation and how to re
ceive it from God. For example, in our youth camps or the Sunday
school classes we realize that the unsaved are still in the natural and we
can never teach enough to justify them in the sight of God. But we can
present the plan of salvation and the blessings of the experience to them
in a way that they will repent and be saved. Souls can be saved in a
class s_ession, as in evangelistic services.
Maybe we have drawn the line too closely between anointed preach
ing and anointed teaching. But there is something about &#6684777;ery preach
ing that creates an atmosphere through which God conveys conviction
to the sinner's heart and brings him to the point of decision. God's plan
cannot be improved, and it includes teaching and preaching.
I have given serious consideration to a plan to give proper recognition
to individuals who feel that they are called to teach. I do not suggest
that teachers be made a rank of the ministry in the manner that bishops,
deacons, and evangelists are set forth and licensed; but it does seem
that the recommendation should be made by the local church in much
the same manner lay ministers are recommended. A brief questionnaire
could be outlined, setting forth the necessary requirements to be an of
ficially recognized teacher. A certi&#6684777;cate, signed by the state overseer
and pastor; could be issued to those approved.
Those with certi&#6684777;cates would not be the only ones to serve in a teach
ing capacity in Sunday Schools, youth camps, Vacation Bible Schools, etc.
It has been necessary to use unlicensed ministers in areas where there
were not enough licensed ones; and it will be necessary to use many

MINUTES OF THE 63RD ANNUAL ASSEMBLY 39
teachers who feel no de&#6684777;nite call to teach, yet who have an aptness to
teach. "Apt" means having a tendency or an inc 1 in at i on; it also
means ready or prepared. In giving the quali&#6684777;cations of a bishop, Paul
stated that "the servant of the Lord" must be "apt to teach." It behooves
us to know the Word of God well enough to teach, if the occasion should
require it.
The main purpose in recommending the certi&#6684777;cation plan is to en
courage those with whom the Lord has dealt to acknowledge their call
to teach. &#5505128;e certi&#6684777;cates would give them a feeling of con&#6684777;dence that
the local church and the general Church had recognized their abilities.
The Questions and Subjects Committee may bring a recommendation to
this Assembly pertaining to teacher-certi&#6684777;cation by the Church.
The Sunday School Department is also inaugurating a Teacher-Training
Program aimed at helping the teachers in that Department became bet
ter quali&#6684777;ed. This is an extensive course of study designed to meet
the need of superintendents and teachers. It promises to be an excel
lent program. The &#6684777;rst book of the course is entitled "Called To Teach,"
and is now available. The Committee may ask for the approval of the
Assembly for the development of this training program by the Sun
day School Department.
Greater Evangelistic Efforts Imperative
I am deeply concerned about the lack of evangelistic work, so I have
used imperative in the title of this section. Imperative means abso
lutely necessary, urgent, compelling. This is my feeling regarding evan
gelistic work. Thousands are called to meet God who are lost, and many
others are continuing their sins while so little is done to deliver them.
Jesus commanded the Church to go into all the world and preach the
Gospel to every creature. Are we too slow in our obedience? His com
mand is imperative. Following &#7602280;e command, He said:
"He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth
not shall be damned." Mark 16:16.
"How shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and
bow shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how
shall they hear without a preacher?
"And how shall they preach, except they be sent? as it is written, How
beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring
glad tidings of good things!" Romans 10:14, 15.
It seems to me that the primary reason that our evangelists are unable
to give full time to their work is the lack of &#6684777;nancial support. Sev
eral plans have been set forth to boost the evangelistic effort, and a
measure of success has been realized. A portion of my Annual Address
to the 61st Assembly in 1966:
Along with the revival spirit and building the membership in our
churches it seems necessary to say something about the work of our
evangelists. The Scripture teaches that the evangelists were given along
with the pastors, teachers, and others that are needed in the Church.
However, it seems that we have just about eliminated full-time evan
gelists. We have more than four thousand licensed and ordained min
isters, and a very small portion of these are giving full time to
evangelistic work. If the Lord saw &#6684780;t to place the evangelists in the
Church, and Paul commanded Timothy to do the work of an evan-

40 MINUTES OF THE 63RD ANNUAL ASSEMBLY
gelist, then it seems that we need more of our ministers engaged in
this work. Sometimes the pastors coriduct revivals for· each other, and
this may be all right, but there is some
F
concern about the lack of full
time evangelists on the &#6684777;eld today. Many of our churches are failing
to have as many revivals as they used to, or as the pastor would like to
have, simply because there are not enough evangelists to &#6684777;ll the need.
There seems to be a reason ·for .this. The evangelists have been forced
to depend upon the free-will offerings for their support. Usually our
people stand by the evangelists and,are very liberal in their offerings for
them. However, there are certain times in the year, such as conven
tion season, the holiday season, and .the Assembly, when no one seems
to want an evangelist for a revival, yet the minister's obligations go
right on ...
The Ways and Means Committee was requested to consider the evan
gelistic needs, and they presented this recommendation:
"We recommend that the matter of assistance to full-time evangelists
be left to the discretion of the Executive Committee to work out a feasible
plan."
Some consideration has been given the matter, but little has been done
except to continue the assistance to the states from the general funds
for new &#6684777;eld work. How can we afford to neglect solving this prob
lem any longer? We must give evangelism its proper place in our Church
program. Quoting further from my Adclress. in 1966:
We spend a great deal of time in auxiliary work, rallies, and special
services. All of these are good, and each of them has its place in our
work, but Jesus said that He came to seek and to save the lost. Our
goal and the main purpose of all our work is the salvation of the lost,
and how much are we accomplishing if we only have plans or programs
and fail to reach the lost? Let's carry on all the work of the Church,
but let's work in a glorious revival spirit that will see souls pray
ing through at our altars . . .
This is not to discourage our auxiliary work, but it will strengthen
and increase it. We must put &#6684777;rst things &#6684777;rst. Our auxiliaries are helps
in the Church, so all the auxiliary work should contribute to our main
purpose. We can all agree that evangelism is the life of the Church, and
a conscious effort must be made by the Church to promote, stimulate,
and give direction to the cause of evangelism.
It would be well for the evangelists and the churches to seek the
favor of God before and during the revival, A sacred atmosphere should
be · maintained . throughout the revival. To be a success in any voca
tion, one must be completely dedicated and willing to . do whatever is
necessary for the promotion of his work. Jesus will bless us in our evan&#2949159;
gelistic efforts. Without being aware of it, the evangelist can have so
many activities that he does not have proper time for prayer, meditation,
and study. It is not good for him to become involved in church or per
sonal problems. The revival is his &#6684777;rst concern.
Many of our quali&#6684777;ed ministers would rather do evangelistic work;
but because of insufficient support, they are resorting to some other means
of livelihood. An imperative need in the evangelistic effort is a means
of support for full-time evangelists .. Past experiences have proven the
impracticability of operating an effective evangelism program from Gen-

MINU&#4522151;OF THE 63RD ANNUAL ASSEMBLY 41
eral Hea&#7340078;quarters. These efforts have produced ·results, but we are . un
able. to answer the many calls from the &#6684777;eld. The ABM and SOPA
Secretary has received the reports of the full-time evangelists this year.
The responsibility of this endeavor will grow as our efforts in this &#6684777;eld
of endeavor increase.
More revivals are needed in our local churches, and we cannot ex
pect our evangelists to totally commit themselves to their work if they
are b1&#2883633;rdened about the support of their families, or how they will
live when the revival ends. After prayerfully considering this imperative
need, it seems that a plan is needed whereby the local churches will
have an organized plan to support the evangelists. It would be well
for the Ways and Means Committee to present a plan to this Assembly
that would assist our full-time evangelists in receiving a livable sup
port, while evangelism takes its proper place in the Church. This can
not be done without sacri&#6684777;ces; but when Zion trav·aileth, she will bring
forth sons and daughters.
Bible Training Department
For years prior to the establishment of a Bible training school, the
former &#4653157;neral Overseer stressed the need for a training program in
the Church. The &#6684777;rst official school convened in January 1918, with the
General Overseer serving as superintendent until 1923.
There was no school for Bible training until August 1941, when a
Bible &#5505138;aining Camp was conducted with an enrollment of 42. In 1943,
202 attended; and in 1944, 303 were accepted and some applicants were
denied because of insufficient space.
The Assembly of 1944 accepted Bible Training Camp as the official
institution of the Church for Bible training, with the General Overseer
president. The following year a general superintendent was appointed.
The school has progressed through the years·::iCquainting our workers
with the doctrine, teachings and business practices of the Church ..
&#5505128;e Bible Training Department has extended its operations -to &#6684777;ve conti
hents-N orth America, South America, Europe, Asia, and Africa-includ
ing Central America and several Caribbean Islands. Approximately twenty
seven areas of the world have been favorably affected by the school,
with over 9,000 workers receiving one to three terms of training. Many
of these have had postgraduate studies.
Besides these schools, correspondence courses in general Bible knowl
edge and "The Body of Christ" are offered. Many • have successfully
completed these courses.
Although the training is offered in short courses, the school is recog
nized as the Church's official' institution of Bible training. Because of
the intensi.ty .. Qf the training, the volume of subject matter covered in
the three tetiiis, and since the Department has enveloped other phases the
title does not seem suitable. The school is more than a "training camp."
A n&#7667821;ber of other training endeavors have developed in the last few
years which are more properly designated as "camps"-youth camps,
winter camps, and retreats.
The Bible Training Camp has;'served its purpose well in the past; how
ever, "Bible Training Institute" would be more appropriate for the dif&#2228269;

42 MINUTES OF THE 63RD ANNUAL ASSE&#5046338;LY
ferent phases of the Bible Training &#4456549;partment, and would be more
in keeping with the Assembly's recognition of the Department as "the
official institution of Bible training." Bible Tra&#6881390;ing Institute would as
sist in maintaining the high standard of the school and would influence
those concerned to respect the value of the issued diplomas as coming
from an institution operating on an official basis, requiring the com
pletion of a carefully planned curriculum under inspired and quali&#6684777;ed
instructors.
The necessity of pastoral training has become very evident. Since every
local church needs a pastor, this phase of ministry includes a large per
centage of our ministers. Some have been hindered from attending our
schools because they must do secular work to support their families while
they pastor small churches, and they are unable to obtain a leave of
absence for three weeks. Others who have attended the school desire spe
ci&#6684777;c pastoral training.
Since the desire for this training seems imperative, and pastors' sem
inars have been conducted in many places, it seems wise to authorize a
pastoral training program with official backing and a uni&#6684777;ed plan of
approach and procedure. The need for such a pro&#6750322;am is great, since an
enormous part of our work is done under the direction of the pastors.
It seems that the Church's official institution of Bible training should
be responsible for the promotion and direction of these pastors' seminars
or any other such sessions. With Bible Training Institute preparing
the lessons and supervising the overall conduct of the program, a more
thorough coverage of the pastor's work would result. Bible Training
Institute would not necessarily furnish the teachers, but the Depar&#7602285;ent
could authorize successful pastors to do much of the teaching.
The Questions and Subjects Committee may br&#6881390;g a recommendation
before &#7602280;e Assembly conce&#7471214;ing the use of the name "Bible &#5505138;aining
Institute" to replace the term "Bible Training Camp," including the plac
ing of pastoral training program in that Depar&#7602285;ent.
I would like to mention a plan of pastoral training which has been
used in a few places. It could be called a "pastors-in-training" pro
gram. &#5505128;e pastor of a larger church takes a younger minister &#7667822;der
his supervision as a student pastor, involving him in the practical ex
periences of visitation, counselling, conducting prayer meetings, etc., along
with opportunity to do some teaching and preaching. This kind of train
ing would help to establish the young minister in his calling, and would
enable him to accept a later appointment wi&#7602280; con&#6684777;dence.
The Church of God Doctrine In Other Languages
In January this year, the General Overseer accompanied the World
Mission Secretary to several countries where the Church of God is estab
lished. It was wonderful to see our people in action.
We &#6684777;rst stopped in England, where much progress has been made. &#5505128;e
work is operating as in the states, and the overseer and workers are
striving to reach more people. Their primary need is buildings, and I am
thankful that a few have been obtained.
Sierra Leone, Africa, has been a backward co&#7667822;try for years, but our
mission efforts have produced amazing results; and it was good to par
ticipate in the dedication of a new building and visit some of our schools

MINUTES OF THE 63RD ANNUAL ASSEMBLY 43
there. &#5505128;ey are in dire need of the Church literature in their language.
We are grateful to the Longstreth family for keeping the work going,
and the prospects for expansion are good.
It was a privilege to attend the &#6684777;rst convention of the Church of God
in South Africa and to realize the results of our mission efforts. Since
our visit, more than two thousand members have been added to the Church;
and churches have been established in Rhodesia, Botswana, Lesotho, and
Mozabique. Several hundreds are waiting to be taken in the Church.
We are thankful for Bible Training Camp being conducted there, and
plans are being made for another camp this year. The Bible Training
lessons have been translated into the Zulu Language by Overseer Clif
ford H. Mngadi. There is an urgency for all of our literature in that
language so that the natives can understand the Church the same as the
English-speaking people. I am eagerly anticipating a greater growth there.
The need is great for the people in India, Philippine Islands, and Aus
tralia to have literature in their languages. Many dialects are spoken
in India. Thank God for faithful workers in these countries. A family
has moved to Australia under the sponsorship of the World Mission Corps.
This Assembly should know the needs, not only in these countries, but
all countries where there are different languages and various customs.
This problem prevails in every country where the Church is estab
lished. These members should be given the same opportunity as other
members of the Church of God.
Twenty-eight years ago the General Overseer said to the Assembly: "The
vision that is now before me is that the Church of God will eventually
have to have all its literature printed in all . . . the languages of the
world. We must put the faith, the -doctrine, the teachings in all the
languages ... "
Eventually means-as a &#6684777;nal outcome, in the course of events, in the
end. Jesus said, "And the gospel must &#6684777;rst be published among all na
tions." Our vision and this statement of Jesus convinces us that the Gos
pel, the message of the Church, shall eventually be published among
the people of all nations. &#5505128;is cannot be completely ful&#6684777;lled at present,
but more should be done.
For any endeavor to be successful, the supply must keep pace with
the demand. It can easily be seen that our translating, printing, reprint
ing, and distributing our literature has not met this imperative need.
The past eighteen months our gap between supply and demand has widened
considerably. February 7, 1967, our entire stock of &#7602290;acts, in approxi
mately thirty-&#6684777;ve languages, was des&#7602290;oyed by &#6684777;re, as well as our print
ing establishment. Calls for suitable literature in new &#6684777;elds are in
creasing rapidly, and more tracts should be made available pointing sin
ners to Christ and the saved to the Church. Only one out of every ten
-of such requests can be partially &#6684777;lled. The rapid inflow of thousands
-0f new members multiplies our need for all of our tracts in languages
for these people.
Many translations of tracts were salvaged from the &#6684777;re, and numerous
calls are received for these. I have considered the possibility of some
general funds being used to pay for the &#6684777;rst reprinting of tracts from
these translations and new -translations and &#6684777;rst printing, in order for
the demand to be more quickly met. Those that are most urgent can be
printed &#6684777;rst.

44 MINUTES OF THE 63RD ANNUAL ASSEMBLY
The Ways and Means Committee is requested to· prayerfully consider
the matter; and if they feel that action should be taken to expedite
the printing of Church literature, they may present a workable plan for
the approval of this Assembly.
Our Proposed Assembly Tabernacle
The 62nd Assembly approved the purchase of property for a new World
Headquarters Complex, and recommended that the construction of. the
Publishing House be of · &#6684777;rst consideration. The Assembly also r&#6619235;om
mended that each member pay a General Property Dollar yearly to boost
the General Property Fund. The property was purchased after that As
sembly and the recommended cons&#7602290;uction is under way.
It is realized that our people desire a new tabernacle that will ac
commodate everyone comfortably. I can assure you· that the World
Headquarters · Construction Committee has not been negligent concern
ing this matter. It is a great undertaking and demands careful planning.
The problems must be solved in a way that will insure us a durable
building. Becoming. overanxious could cost us thousands of dollars, and
could result in an unsatisfactory structure.
The matter of &#6684777;rst concern is a workable &#6684777;nancial plan. The Com
mittee became more aware of this when the plans were being drawn.
We hoped to have plans ready for display at this Assembly, but it was
impossible to thoroughly prepare them in such a short time. It seems
best to solve our &#6684777;nancial problems before construction begins.
"For which of you, intending to build a tower, sitteth not down &#6684777;rst,
and counteth the cost, whether he have sufficient to &#6684777;nish it?
"Lest haply, after he hath laid the foundation, and is not able to &#6684777;nish
it, all that behold it begin to mock him,
"Saying, This man began to build, and was not able to &#6684777;nish." Luke
14:28-30.
As a. rule, people will give when they see something being done, but
it is also necessary to know that the &#6684777;nancial needs can be met. The
Committee assures the Church that everything possible is being done to
promote this cause, and we trust that our members are ready to • join
together to supply &#7602280;e means.
A .two-million-dollar project might seem impossible, but should not
be discouraging. It will require patience and faith, even when the evi
dence is not seen; a mutual con&#6684777;dence by the members that the Com
mittee in charge is acting in wisdom for .the good for all.
It will be· advantageous to have a portion of the cost of the taber
nacle available before the construction begins. The Committee favors rais
ing $100,000 annually, plus the interest we would pay if we borrowed
the $2 million. This investment would be working for us before con
struction and would yield over $165,000 in accumulated interest, giving
us a total working fund of approximately $1,300,000. At the end of five
years, we would know if we could raise over $200,000 a&#7209070;ually to meet
payments.
If we built now, we would be paying that amount of intere_st yearly
for twenty years. It seems better to accumulate funds during th�. f&#6881324;ve years
rather than pay this high interest for twenty years.

MINUTES OF THE &#3538990;3RD ANNUAL ASSEMBLY 45
Serious. consideration should be given to where our Assemblies con
vene during these years. Clev.eland is the World Capital for the_ Church,
and property has been purchased. Ou&#4718684; present tabernacle is not ade
quate to accommodate all who would like to attend .the. Assemblies. Sev
eral of the states have rented auditoriums for their conventi&#7274606;s and have
found it satisfactory.
•
One suggestion is to secure an adequate auditorium in a city near by
in which to conduct our Assemblies for the next &#6684777;ve years while pre-
paring to. build. Advantages of this plan include:
•
(1) .We would know when construction is planned.
(2) Working funds can be accumulated.
(3) It would provide proper facilities for all who desire to attend,
thereby encouraging participation in the overall plan.
(4) It would give assurance to the Church that we are moving forward
on a feasible, well-planned course.
We will ask the Ways and Means Committee to give careful thought to
this matter, and to offer suggestions for the consideration of this Assembly.
The Publishing Department
Our Publishing Department began on September. 15, 1923. The &#6684777;rst
White Wing Messenger was published as recommended by the Call Coun
cil in Chattanooga, Tennessee, which convened August 8-10, 1923. The
recommendation of this Council was endorsed by the 18th Assembly
November 22-27, 1923.
The White Wing Messenger began as a biweekly publication and it
was printed in the Cleveland Daily Banner office. Later it was printed
by the Herald Publishing Company, and in 1945 this business was leased
and named "The White Wing Press." It was managed by a superintendent
under the direction of a business manager.
In the beginning of the White Wing Messenger, the offices were in
the home of A. J. Tomlinson, former General Overseer. The paper was
addressed and prepared for mailing in the large dining room of his home.
In 1928, the west wing of the World Capitol Building was erected and
occupied by the Publishing Department and the General Overseer and
staff. The building was enlarged to its present size in 1940, and the
Publishing Department occupied the east wing while the General Over
seer and his staff remained in the west wing.
Fifty dollars were borrowed to begin the prin&#7602281;ng of the White Wing
Me&#7536755;enger, and the Publishing Depa&#7471220;ment grew rapidly. In 1927, our
Sunday school literature was published. Tracts, leaflets, and booklets
were printed; gradually other helps were added. Bibles, books written
by various authors, and articles for different departments of the Church
became a part of the Publishing Department.
During the Assembly of 1931, the Sunday School Committee recom
mended that each school send 10 per cent of the offerings to the White
Wing Publishing House to supply free literature to new Sunday schools
for the &#6684777;rst quarter and to supply other free literature to those request
ing it for distribution. This was the beginning of the Free Literature
Department.
The 1932 Assembly provided for 10 per cent of the Sunday school
offerings, a special offering to be received in the district Sunday school

46 MINUTES OF THE 63RD ANNUAL ASSEMBLY
conventions, and that 50 per cent of the Victory Leaders weekly offer
fering be sent to the White Wing Publis&#6815849;ng House for the &#4587634;ee Litera
ture Fund. There was a greater demand for free literature than there
was money to supply it, and oftentimes the Department showed a de&#6684777;cit
at the close of the Assembly year.
&#5505128;e Assembly later requested the Victory Leaders to bring offerings
to their respective state convention and the Assembly. This seemed to
renew their interest in reaching others with the printed message, result
ing in increased yearly offerings. Thousands of dollars have been given
to the Free Literature Department, and millions of tracts and other pub
licatio&#7209075; have been distributed. We cannot estimate the accomplishments
of this Department and the work of the Victory Leaders.
When the business manager gave his report to the Assembly in 1946,
the Department had, or was in the process of printing, 242 tracts in twenty
one lan&#6750325;ages. In the English Language, there were printed 124 tracts
in nine styles and colors.
In this same year, the Publishing Department grew so rapidly until
the space was insufficient for the workers, stocks, and equipment. A new
publishing house was being erected across the street from the World
Capitol Building with sufficient offices, stock rooms, mailing rooms, paper
and electrotype storage, and printing equipment. It was known as "The
White Wing Publishing House and Press." For years our people de
sired to have our printing equipment and the lease on the printing plant
in town would soon expire. When the building was nearing completion,
orders were placed for machinery; and in due time the Church had its
press in the new building. The Victory Leaders shared with the Pub
lishing &#4456549;partment in the entire program, and through their continued
cooperation the Department served the Church in a commendable manner.
From its completion in 1947 to the disastrous &#6684777;re in 1967, the White
Wing Publishing House supplied tracts, materials, Sunday school sup
plies, and other helps for the last days' Church. We must not question
the providential hand of God. God must have desired to stir our "nest,"
as the Church stands on the threshold of our last efforts to publish and
preach the Gospel into all the world; and this requires greater facilities.
Romans 8:28 is often applied to individuals when. it is written to the
Church·. Hear these reassuring words:
"And we know that &#6357036;11 things_ work together for good to them that love
God, to them who are the called according to his purpose."
The Church is "the called according to his purpose." Everything may
not work according to the best for the individual, but nothing can be
done to defeat the work of the Church-His "called out" ones.
At times what man views as disaster and tragedy, God uses for His
glory. Because of the February 7 &#6684777;re, better and more adequate facili
ties for the propagation of the Gospel will be erected. Who can ques
tion the providences of God? Are we not taught that we may hear His
voice in the wind, in the cloud, and even in the &#6684777;re?
The youth of the Church is challenged to rise to the task before them.
Where is the man who is weak among you? Joel, the prophet, spoke of
our time when he uttered:

MINUTES OF THE 63RD ANNUAL ASSEMBLY 47
"They shall run like mighty men; they shall climb the wall like men
of war; and they shall march every one on his ways, and they shall not
break their ranks ... And the Lord shall utter his voice before his army:
for his camp is very great: for he is strong that executeth his word . . ."
Joel 2:7, 11.
The Ways and Means Committee is requested to prayerfully consider
plans to &#6684777;nance the payment on the loan for the Publishing House.
Church-wide Revival
The possibility of a Church-wide revival was discussed in the 62nd
Assembly, and it was decided that such an endeavor might be feasible.
To get the general reaction of the Church, this was tried on a moderate
level, May 5-12. I am happy about the encouraging reports received from
our pastors.
A questionnaire was sent to each pastor requesting results of the re
vival in his local church. Approximately 600 pastors returned the ques
tionnaires, and thousands of new people attended the revival services
with approximately 3,000 experiences, and over 300 joining the Church.
This shows that the days of revival are not over. On each question
naire the pastor was requested if he would like to have a similar revival
during this Assembly year: Only eight said no.
Some overseers told me that it was the best thing that has happened
to their state. The "Train up a Child" theme inspired many pastors
to involve the children of the neighborhood in the revival and oftentimes
the parents came with the children. This resulted in entire families being
saved, and some becoming members of the Church.
Since the response to the Church-wide revival was so victorious, I would·
like to suggest that greater emphasis be placed on the revival for this
year. I believe it is time for the Church of God to have revivals that
will conquer the strongholds of the devil. The theme this year is "Spir
itual Conquest." The word spiritual as used here means supernatural.
Conquest means the act or process of conquering. Therefore, "Spiritual
Conquest" for the Church of God means conquering the enemy's terri
tory through supernatural means.
&#5242994;ograms of activity will be provided, and posters, hand cards, and
materials for advertisements on radio and in newspapers will be avail
able from General Headquarters. Let us understand that advertising alone
will not. bring revivals. A special time should be set aside by every
l&#7274595;al church for prayer and fasting. If we achieve the desired spiritual
conquest, we will do it through spiritual means. Much prayer and fast
ing is necessary. If we members become conscious of the souls that are
being hurled into eternal damnation, we will pray and fast for the great
est revival ever known in the Church of God.
I would like to suggest that the revival for "Spiritual Conquest" be
extended over a seven-week period beginning April 6 and ending May 25,
rather than a speci&#6684777;c week. This will give the local churches oppor
tunity to cooperate with the nearby churches and each church can more
easily obtain an evangelist.
I desire every local church to participate in this conquest. If a church
is large enough to have service, I feel it can have a revival. The smaller
churches need a revival to help them grow.

48 MINUTES OF THE 63RD ANNUAL ASSEMBLY
The purpose of this Church-wide revival is what the . theme empha
sizes-a "Spiritual Conquest" for the Church of God. Only the Holy
Ghost power, prayer, and fasting will bring a great revival.
Begin fasting when you retu&#7471214; home from the Assembly, and continue
it throughout the year. I feel we should begin to pray about it now. If
this sounds all right say "amen."
Every person that is serious about the Church conquering the strong
holds of the devil in your area, get on your knees right now and join
me in prayer for this "Spiritual Conquest" for seven minutes&#2949231;ne minute
for each week of the revival emphasis. Let us pray.
The Visual Department
It seems good to give an explanation conce&#7471214;ing our Visual Depart
ment. Immediately after the 43rd Assembly, &#7602280;e General CPMA Sec
retary requested permission from the General Overseer for K. W. Bancroft
to· show pictures in the various states with the approval of the over
seers. &#5505128;is was done, and the pictures were well received.
The 44th Assembly made provisions for the establishment of the Vis
ual Department to present the Church to others and to show more of
the Church activities to our people. A Visual Department Representa
tive was appointed that year, but this title was changed to Visual De
partment in the 45th Assembly.
The Visual Department Director was appointed state overseer last year,
and I requested the Public Relations Director to manage both depart
ments. Since the Public Relations Department and the Visual Department
are so closely related in the ministry of presenting the Church of God
to others, it seems appropriate for the Visual Department to become a
part of the Public Relations Department. Instead of Visual Department,
it could be called "Visual Aids Division," but the operating expenses will
continue to be supplied by the Church of Prophecy Marker Association.
This division would receive an allotment from the CPMA funds, and the
production of &#6684777;lms and buying of equipment be approved by the CPMA
Committee with the Public Relations Director supervising all its activities.
Interesting I nformatlon
Comparison of our work this year to that of 1967. A d&#6619235;rease shows
that we have not accomplished as much this year as we did last year.

There was wonderful response to the October and March World Mis
sion Drives, which could not have been accomplished without the help
of the Lord, the ministry, the Womens Missionary Band, Church pub
lications, and other methods. The 1929 Assembly recommended special
drives yearly for mission funds in October and March.
Auxiliary Information
The auxiliaries have faithfully provided funds to support our work,
with many states showing increases. The only funds received at General
Headquarters for the CPMA are the membership fees as recommended by
the 59th Assembly.
The amounts are after the 20 per cent has been deducted, according
to the ruling of the 57th Assembly. All &#6684777;gures are in United States cur
rency. The largest &#6684777;gure is stated &#6684777;rst.

Thank God for another year in which to do our best in helping others
to learn about Hi&#7471214; and His Church. Many of our ministers and mem
bers have labored untiringly in the vineyard of the Lord. I wish that
I could reward you and give you the deserved praise, but God sees all,
and we will receive our just rewards. Many labor faithfully behind the
scenes where your fellow workers may not be aware much of your ef
forts, but God will give honor to whom honor is due.
When Job was so severely afflicted and was unjustly accused, he looked
beyond and said:
"Also now, behold, my witness is in heaven, and my record is on high."
Job 16:19.

MINUTES OF THE 63RD ANNUAL ASSEMBLY 59
Job felt the sting of the false accusations, and he disliked being mis
judged, but he knew that when the book was opened he would _not be
ashamed.
"For God is not unrighteous to forget your work and labour of love,
which ye have showed toward his name, in that ye have ministered to
the saints, and do minister.
"And we desire that every one of you do shew the same diligence to
the full assurance of hope unto the end:
"That ye be not slothful, but followers of them who through faith
and patience inherit the promises." Hebrews 6:10-12.
Our labor for the Church of God is done because we love Jesus, the
Head of the Church, through Whom the Father has given us precious
promises. We are standing on those promises and looking beyond the
hardships of this life when we will receive eternal life. I commend our
wonderful people, but the Lord gives the real reward. Continue labor
ing with faith and patience so that your past efforts will not be lost.
Surely we will depart from this Assembly with the determination to
do more for God. This day requires our best, and we shall not fail! We
will &#6684777;ght the good &#6684777;ght of faith, and we will not draw away from the
front lines. With the great shield of faith, we will quench the &#6684777;ery
darts of the wicked.
With renewed dedication to God and His Church, let us stand and sing
our mighty battle hymn, knowing that we have enlisted for life, and will
march under the banner of love and holiness until we trade the old
cross for a crown.
AT THE BATTLE'S FRONT
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 the Spirit's trusty sword
At the front of the battle you will &#6684777;nd me.
Chorus
Hear the tramp! tramp! tramping of the army
The triumph shouting, the foe we're routing;
Hear the tramp! tramp! tramping of the army
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 &#6684777;nd me.
With the banner of love and of holiness unfurled,
Fu&#7077996; 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, enrolled with the loyal ones and true?
Will you dare now to stand with the Saviour's faithful few?
Will you join with me now the covenant renew?
At the front of the battle you will &#6684777;nd me.

1:47 Thy Watchman Shall Lift up THE VOICE, Isaiah 52:8-message
by James B. Wright, World Language Secretary. Excerpts:
"Publish means to print, preach, or to make known the message. 'Thy
watchman shall lift up the voice; with the voice together shall they
sing ... ' Voice means instruction, admonition, teaching; a person or
agency by which the thought, wish or purpose of another is expressed.
The voice here is referring to the teachings of the Bible, the voice of
God, the voice of Christ, etc. These prophecies relate to the liberty, unity,
and other goals to be reached by the Church under Christ. Prophecies
have two-fold meanings-material and spiritual. In Romans 10:15, Paul
is referring to the dispensation under grace. The prophecies in Isaiah 52
can be unquestionably connected with the grace dispensation in the New
Testament. ' ... for they shall see eye to eye, when the Lord shall
bring again Zion ... The Lord hath made bare his holy arm in the eyes
of all the nations ... ' Isaiah 52:8, 10. The General Overseer brought
out in his message that the arm of the Lord was the Church. '. . . the
ends of the earth shall see the salvation of our God.' He said shall! If
we would strive more earnestly for the unity of the faith we would
have less struggle when we take the message to the people. This would
give us power for service and the favor of God. Before the nations can
see the arm of the Lord and all ends of the earth see the salvation
of God, the Church must achieve that unity of seeing eye to eye. Jesus
not only prayed for His children to be united, but that they be made
perfect in one (John 17:21-23). Pentecostal people are looking for a
unfted church. One that has a background of being united in one purpose,
one doctrine-one program. The .glory of the Lord that Jesus had from
the Father will be given to the Church, when the Church reaches that
degree of unity in the faith. ' ... and the glory of the Lord is risen upon
thee ... and his glory shall be seen upon thee.' Isaiah 60:1, 2. 'Fear
not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be·
to all people.' Luke 2:10. Not just America, or Europe, or Africa-the·
message is for all people! Paul commands to make all men see. See
what? The fellowship of the mystery. Where is the mystery when there
is no fellowship working? Make known the followship of the mystery,
not the mystery. We will keep on preaching it, but we will have bet
ter results when we make known the presence of the mystery. Fellow
ship is something you can't hide, but can be seen and felt. Lift up the
voice. The voice, or the doctrine, was to be lifted up by thy watch
man-singular. The Father, thy watchman, lifted up that voice and de-

MINUT&#4522067; OF THE 63RD ANNUAL ASSEMBLY 61
livered it to His apostles and prophets. They passed the same voice
down to the Church, and it became the doctrine&#2949165;the voice of the Church.
The voice of God, voice of Christ, voice of the apostles, and voice of
the Church is the same voice. Everyone is to sing with the· voice, seeing
,eye to eye and speaking the same thing.
"This voice is not the voice of condemnation, but salvation. It is not
the voice of subjugation, but liberation. It is not the voice of division,
but unity. The voice will endure!
" 'And I will shake all nations, and the desire of all nations shall
&#2949219;ome; and I will &#6684777;ll this house with glory, saith the Lord of hosts.'
Haggai 2;7. The Church of God is the only nation that is not destined to
be shaken. Paul said to the Corinthians, when they turned from the
-doctrine, 'For I am jealous over you with godly jealousy .. .' 2 Corinthi
ans 11:2. Pastor, don't lead your members astray, but be jealous of them
when they do go astray. The Church can never be presented to Christ
until it follows one doctrine. 'Stand fast therefore in the liberty where
with Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the
_yoke of bondage.' Galatians 5:1. Don't go back! Stand fast in the Church
of God! Let us respond to the pleading of the Holy Ghost and hear His
·
voice (Hebrews 3;7, 8). Let us SHARE the voice of the Holy Ghost,
.and make every effort to come together in the unity of the faith.''

2:30 &#5505128;e &#5701736;ite Wing Publishing House Financial Report by Perry E.
Gillum, Manager, was accepted.
Financial Statement of the
White Wing Publishing House and Press
TO THE 63RD ANNUAL ASSEMBLY, GREETINGS:
&#5701704;EREAS the World Headquarters Construction Committee
made a thorough study of building design, location, and facility
needs for the construction of your new White Wing Publishing
House and Press, negotiated with the architect and contractor
on said building, and is serving in an advisory capacity in con
struction decisions,
WHEREAS the World Headquarters Construction Committee has
contributed immeasurable service whereby the publishing minis
try of the Church of God of Prophecy may be expanded to help
meet the ever-growing needs of the Church around the globe,
BE IT RESOLVED that this Assembly go on record expressing its
sincere appreciation for the valuable and boundless services ren
dered by this Committee: M.A. Tomlinson, Chairman, J. R. Kinser,
R. 0. Covey, E. H. Griffith, J. W. McDill, J. D. Wilkinson, Jr., L. V.
Jones and Harry Lee Moore.
The following report is submitted on the basis of the annual audit
made from the records of our accounting depar&#7602285;ent. In order that each
member of the Church better understand the facts and &#6684777;gures of this
report, I felt it necessary that an explanation be given relative to the
present &#6684777;nancial status of your White Wing Publishing House and Press.
In last year's analysis, we reported a loss due to the tragic &#6684777;re in Feb
ruary. It would have been wonderful if the entire loss could have been
written off last year and a new year begun without any further en
cumberances realized; but, this was not possible.
During this year, there has been a constant reminder of the &#6684777;re in the
replacement of damaged equipment and the replenishing of lost inven
tory. The printing outreach of the Church will feel the affects of this
loss for a number of years. I want to clearly establish in this report that
pro&#6684777;ts cannot be made during this period of re-establishment as they
could have had not the publishing house suffered this &#6684777;re.
We are in the process of upgrading our equipment and setting up new
business guidelines to better serve you, the Church. In spite of these

66 MINUTES OF THE 63RD ANNUAL ASSEMBLY
obstacles, the Lord has blessed your White Wing Publishing House this
year with a net pro&#6684777;t totaling $21,326.58. This was evidenced by the
sales of the press department and of Sunday school literature. The press
sales, which is an all time record, $209,565.30 and Sunday school litera
ture sales totaled $107,116.62. The sales of the merchandise department have
been slow due to a new catalog compiled, published and circulated. Re
cently, the catalog was mailed to more than ten thousand mail order users.
The White Wing Publishing House was appointed to be caretaker of
an escrow fund made up of the settlement of insurance after the &#6684777;re.
To put &#7602280;is fund to the best possible use for the interest of the
·
Church,
we purchased U. S. Treasury Bills which have earned, and will continue
to earn, 5.42% interest. It is with pleasure that I report the interest in
come on this escrow fund. From December 31, 1967 to December 31,
1968, the total interest earned on the investment in U. S. Treasury Bills
will be $14,651.47. It is my opinion that a dollar earned in this man
ner would add to the generous contribution made by our wonderful church
congregations in this year's OUTREACH '68. This amount will be cred
ited to the White Wing Publishing· House Building Fund and has not
been included in our statement of pro&#6684777;ts ea&#7471214;ed.

MINUTES OF 'TRE.
· 63RD ANNU&#4259898;LASSEMBLY
IN PROCESS "THE CHURCH TRIUMPHANT" written b&#3014784; Daniel D.
Preston, Academic Dean of Tomlinson College.
I encourage those who have the ability to write to use this talent for
the Church. The Church must speak through i&#7602291; writers and· editors of
books, pamphlets, &#7602290;acts and periodicals in an ever enlarging circle of
students and readers in the world's many languages. It is &#7471209;o worldly
warfare that we are waging. The weapons of our warfare are not weapons
of the flesh, but are divinely strong to demolish the forces of evil. It
has been said, "Words spoken are soon forgotten, but words written have
a way of living on and
--
on."
Thank God for our former General Overseer, A. J. Tomlinson, who
expounded great Bible truths and left his writings so that we can share
in his vision and Scriptural knowledge. Our General Overseer, M. A.
Tomlinson, has published a new book, THE GLORIOUS CHURCH OF
GOD. People can be spiritually strengthened ·in the faith as they are
enlightened by this book.

&#3866749;
Job realized the power of the printed page: "Oh that my words were
now written! Oh that they were printed in a book." Job 19:23.
Thank you for your concern, patience and understanding during this
year of re-construction. Most of all I appreciate your prayers for us for we
feel that whatever has been accomplished this year has been the results
of the overshadowing direction of God.

SPECIAL BULLETIN
To: The 63rd annual Assembly
From: The Church Publishing Committee
Subject. Youth LIFE
In the 58th annual Assembly 1963, the White Wing Publishing House
introduced Youth LIFE. A publication published with the youth in mind.
There was a desire to ful&#6684777;ll the need for Christian reading material
for the young people. During the 58th Assembly, copies of the pre
publication issue of Youth LIFE were distributed to the delegates getting
potential subscribers to become acquainted with the magazine. Monthly
publication began in January 1964. Throughout the past &#6684777;ve years, the
management has continually promoted Youth LIFE in an effort to at
tain sufficient subscriptions to make publishing &#6684777;nancially feasible. The
management has endeavored to incorporate suggestions and advice given
by those sincerely interested in the publication of this magazine.
Youth LIFE has contained articles written for the young people by our
General Overseer. The General Victory Leaders Secretary has contribut
ed monthly articles along with special program building ideas. Articles
have been contributed from our youth in the Church. An all-out effort
has been made to make this magazine acceptable to everyone. This
Committee commends the editors of this magazine on a job well done.
Promotion began immediately after the &#6684777;rst issue to make the maga
zine known and available to our youth of the Church. Last year the
management of the White Wing Publishing House and the Church Pub
lishing Committee realized a crossroad was apparent. The continuing of
this publication seemed impractical, however, after much consideration
the management of the White Wing Publishing House asked that another
year be given to make further appeal for acceptance and support of Youth
LI&#4587589;. This appeal was made to the Church through a subscription roll
plan. Extensive promotion was distributed explaining the plan. The re
sponse to this appeal was not accepted as we had anticipated. The
management has endeavored to use every available means of promotion.
As of the September 1968 issue the subscription number is 2,473. With
so few subscriptions, your Church Publishing Committee feels it is not
&#6684777;nancially practical to continue this publication. In the initial year of
1964 the loss for the Youth LIFE was $9,033.95; 1965-$9,742.13; 1966-
$9,732.83; 1967-$8,880.92 and 1968-$11,098.35.
In the light of these facts and &#6684777;gures, it is apparent that the subscrip
tion support is insufficient and the Church Publishing Committee an
nounces the discontinuance of the publishing of the Youth LIFE maga
zine, effective with the December 1968 issue. Subscribers will be mailed
a special notice giving details concerning subscription refund.
At anytime the General Assembly has any plan for the publishing of
youth orientated material, the Church Publishing Committee stands ready
with their support.

Ministerial Aid Committee Report
To the 63rd annual Assembly of the Church of God, Greetings:
We, your Ministerial Aid Committee, respectfully submit the following
recommendations, and our report for the Assembly year for your con
sideration and approval.
SECTION I
The Ministers' Retirement Plan to be funded by each interested min
ister on a voluntary basis, which was approved by the 62nd annual As
sembly, has been delayed because of having to be submitted to the In
ternal Revenue Service for approval as a quali&#6684777;ed plan. We are unable
to state at this time when the plan will be approved. We regret the de
lay, but appreciate the patience shown by our ministers. When we re-

74 MINUTES OF THE 63RD ANNUAL A&#6225964;SSEMBLY
ceive a de&#6684777;nite decision on the plan from the Internal Revenue Service,
through our attorney, we will inform our ministers through the White
Wing Messenger.
SECTION II
We recommend that Section IX of the Ministerial Aid Committee Re
port to the 62nd Assembly, in regards to the statement which gives the
limitations on the income of a retired minister from other sources to
$1,500.00 annually, be revised to read $2,400.00 annually. This revision
is recommended because of the continual increase in living costs.
SECTION 111
We recommend that a minister who has retired from active service
and has served the Church as a full-time minister for at least twenty
&#6684777;ve years or more, who has reached his or her sixty-&#6684777;fth birthday, and
is not a recipient of Ministerial Aid bene&#6684777;ts, that said minister be grant
ed an honorary "In Appreciation" certi&#6684777;cate in recognition of his min
isterial labors, the same as a retired Ministerial Aid recipient. A min
ister will complete a questionnaire for the Committee, when applying for
the honorary "In Appreciation" certi&#6684777;cate.
SECTION IV
During the past Assembly year, your Ministerial Aid Committee approved
7 applications for disability bene&#6684777;ts and 4 for retirement; applications
for 2 widows of former recipients of Ministerial Aid bene&#6684777;ts were ap
proved to receive 50 per cent of their deceased husband's allotment; 4
applications for widows of deceased, full-time ministers to receive as
sistance were approved; bene&#6684777;ts were discontinued to 8 recipients for dif
ferent reasons and 7 have died.
We now have 27 ministers receiving retirement bene&#6684777;ts; 119 are re
ceiving disability bene&#6684777;ts; 43 widows of ministers are receiving assistance;
2 former lay employees are receiving retirement bene&#6684777;ts, making a total
of 191 persons receiving assistance from the Ministerial Aid Fund.
During the past Assembly year, 48 of our ministers and 1 lay em
ployee of Bible Place have died. The Ministerial Aid Committee approved
32 Proofs of Death, with a total of $25,356.20 paid to the bene&#6684777;ciaries
from the Ministerial Aid Fund.
The Committee sent twenty Church flags, to be presented by the of
ficiating minister as a memorial tribute on behalf of the deceased min
ister, to the surviving companions or relatives.

MINUTES. OF THE 6'3RD ANNUAL ASSEMBLY _&#2556029;5
�.eport of the Church Benefit Association
To the 63rd annual Assembly of the Church 'of God, Greetings:
We express our appreciation to you, our fellow-members of this great
Church, the Body of Christ, for the confidence you have expressed in
your Church Bene&#6684777;t Association by the support you have given. As a
result, your Association has experienced another year of great growth.
Since its beginning, it has filled a great need in the life of the Church,
helping our people to have insurance coverage, who otherwise could not
afford insurance. Your Association can furnish our people with almost
any type of life insurance they desire.
Our underwriters, the Life and Casualty Insurance Company of Ten
nessee, have been cooperative in the approval of applications and death
claims. Last year, we reported that we had a de&#6684777;cit because of death
claims incurred during the early part· of our association with Life and
Casualty. Rather than accep&#7602215;
-
a premium refund, which they have been
granting us as each years experience permits, as agreed, we have decided to
return it to our underwriters to use in reducing· our de&#6684777;cit as quickly as
possible.
This year the Association furnished insurance coverage for 70 youth
camps and winter retreats, with a total of 6,818 campers and personnel.
This represents a large increase in youth camp coverage over last year.
A total of $4,567.76 was paid in claims for injuries received by our camp
ers and $2,000.00 in death claims.
In the Group Life, there were 45 death claims approved this Assem
bly year, with a total of $53,000.00 paid to the bene&#6684777;ciaries through the
Association by the Life and Casualty Insurance Company of Tennessee.
This makes a total of 244 death claims approved with a total of $334,000.00
paid to bene&#6684777;ciaries since the beginning of the Church Bene&#6684777;t Asso
ciation in 1961. Our Association now has 2,778 membership accounts, an
increase of 187 over last year.

TRIBUTE TO OUR DECEASED MINISTERS
We pause to honor the cherished memory of our loved ones gone be
fore. If there is anything this day underscores, it is the truth that all
men take one common path to the grave. Rich and poor, great and small,
young and old have a &#6684777;nal appointment to keep with death. Our hearts,
like muffled drums, are beating funeral marches to the grave. These
ministers who have passed from this life, were strugglers for the future
of the Church, battlers for a heritage for generations yet unborn. These
gave their life for the greatest thing in the world-Christ and His
Church. They have earned their supreme decoration-Ete&#7471214;al Life.
These were referred to by Malachi 3:16, "Then they that feared the
Lord spake often one to another: and the Lord hearkened, and heard it,
and a book of remembrance was written before him for them that feared
the Lord, and that thought upon his name."
We believe that God does remember those who have given their lives
for Him. The dead don't want to be mourned, neither do they want
to be forgotten. If they could speak they would say, live for the things
for which we died. Our warmest eulogies will but lamely voice their
.accomplishments.
Ours is an immortal debt; we cannot overpay.

Report of the To&#3211362;1inson Home for Children
Board of Directors
To the 63rd annual Assembly of the Church of God, Greetings:
The Board of Directors of the Tomlinson Home for Children express
appreciation to our state overseers, state Sunday school secretaries; dis
trict overseers, pastors, superintendents, members and friends of the .Church
who have worked faithfully in the orphanage program. Your labor of
love and compassion for homeless children made it possible to care for
many who otherwise might not have the necessities of life. You are to
be highly commended for your efforts and may God bless you.
Several states brought poundings and others • sent offerings fo supply
the needs of our children. Some of the contributions were: South Caro
lina $11,295 of groceries, Tennessee $3,310.68 of canned goods, Georgia
$1,500 of canned meats, Kentucky $465.00 and Oklahoma $202.91 for Eas
ter clothing, Mississippi $262.15 for Tide, and individual contributions
too numerous to mention. These gifts and donations are appreciated. North
Carolina, Alabama, and Oklahoma gave free tuition to forty-one of our
children for youth camps. This was a blessing to the children.
Since 1945, a total of 236 children have been cared for, including 62
this year; 11 new children were accepted this year, and 7 were released
due to age, or because their people were able to care f&#6488169;r them again.
Graduated from high school and attending college-Jimmy Roberts, Cleve
land State Community College, and Peggy Lawson, Tomlinson College.
Donna Higgins married Jimmy Link August 31 and they are members of
the Wildwood church.
The inner needs of our children have been stressed this year, and your
prayers for them are appreciated. Twenty-three are members of the Church.
The houseparents are to be highly commended for their work. Through
their interest and efforts, the children have become more spiritual, Your
prayers for the houseparents are desired that they will be blessed in their
work.
Partial support was given to seventy children in India, and aid was
given to purchase land in south Mexico, where we hope to have an or
phanage soon.
In addition to general maintenance, several items have been purchased
for the homes with stamps and a recreation slab for the homes was
constructed. All standards required by the State Welfare Department, and
the State Fire Marshal have been met.
Eula Mae McDonald, coupon director, and Jean Campbell, office sec
retary, have worked faithfully in the office. Also, the coupon workers
from each local church are to be commended for their work. This year
$19,749.26 was realized from the coupon depar&#7602285;ent.
RESOLUTION
Whereas E. A. McDonald gave faithful service as general superintendent
of the Tomlinson Home for Children and vice-president of the Board of
Directors, during his term of office, therefore,

MINUTES OF THE 63RD ANNUAL ASSEMBLY 79,
BE IT RESOLVED that we, the officers and directors of the Tomlinson
Home for Children, express our sincere thanks and appreciation for his
faithfulness and the assistance he has given in solving the problems that
came before the Board. We wish for his success wherever he may go
in the service of the Lord.
The Board of Directors earnestly desire the prayers of our people in
behalf of this institution and its work.

4:35 Happy for My Part in Building the Church of God-message by
Fred Dunford. Brother Dunford pastors the church at Dowell's Chapel,
Virginia. He has 65 church members, including the 35 new members taken
in this year. Excerpts:
"In 1 Corinthians 3:9-11, Paul said, 'For we are labourers together
with God . . . as a wise masterbuilder, I have laid the foundation . . .
which is Jesus Christ.' To build, we &#6684777;rst have to have a foundation.
Isaiah 28:16, 20 speaks of a sure foundation. Everything that is not built
on the right foundation will go down. We hear people say, I wonder if
it would be better this way? or that way? or another way? I believe
that God knows exactly how His Church needs to be built.
"When re-building the wall of Jerusalem, everyone ·worked in their
plac&#2949266;no one tried to do the other man's work. When we labor together,
we will see the Church grow. Peter built upon the foundation that the
Lord laid. When the people saw Peter, ' ... they brought forth the sick
into the streets, and laid them on beds and couches, that at the least the
shadow of Peter passing by might overshadow some of them.' Acts 5.:15.
This man was building on the foundation of God. Too many people are
just walking in the shadow. I want to be in what makes the shadow! I
want to build the Church of God, don't you? It's the only thing that
is anchored on the solid rock. God has set everything in the Church that
you and I need. Everything that Adam needed was in the garden. No
doubt, time after time Adam walked under the shadow of the tree
of Life--but he disobeyed. He didn't build just like the Lord said.
"I sought God in different ways, and I found the foundation in the
Bibl&#2949266;! found the Church."
5:00 Ordination Service. The General Overseer read 1 Timothy 3:1-13
and spoke. Those to be ordained knelt on the platform and the over
seers prayed in concert. The wives of those to be ordained stood in
the congregation. Each bishop and deacon was ordained by the laying
on of hands by the presbytery.

land of Virginia prayed, followed by concert prayer.
6:06 Assembly Expense Committee boosted and received offering. Larry
Linkous sang "The· Last Mile Of &#5505128;e Way"; Marietta Trio sang "He
Looked Beyond My Faults And Saw My Need"; Tomlinson College Chorale
sang "I'm Glad That I'm. A Christian" and "We've Come This Far By
Faith."
6:25 Testimony of healing by L. V. Jones. Two and one-half years
ago, Brother Jones was told that he had cancer and there was nothing
the doctors could do. He began to pray and tell the Lord the things he
had done for Him, but then he thought, that is just my duty as a Chris
tian. Once the Lord told him, "Haven't I always taken care of my chil
dren?" This gave him the assurance &#7602280;at he would be healed. But for
three and one-half months, life was uncertain. The third Sunday in
June, 1966, was the climax. His wife read Daniel 4:3, and prayed. The
next day, he went to the office a healed man! His healing brought a
closeness to God he had never known.
6:47 Concert prayer for mighty healing service.
6:50 Annual Healing Message by Lawrence Heckert. Excerpts:
"We cannot heal. Without the Lord, His power and His Spirit, we are help
less. The Lord said, 'Whether is it easier to say to the sick of the
palsy, &#5505128;y sins be forgiven thee; or to say, Arise, and take up thy bed,
and walk?' Mark 2:9. That is how easy it is for the Lord to heal. 'And
God hath set some in the church, &#6684777;rst apostles, secondarily prophets,
thirdly teachers, after that miracles, then gifts of healings . . .' 1 Co
rinthians 12:28. The gifts of healings are resident in the Church. When
Jesus was in the world, He possessed this healing virtue; Paul said, now
ye are the Body of Christ. I believe this healing virtue is present in this
Body. He did not leave the Church powerless, but He vested the Church
with the same healing virtue&#2949165;it just needs to be stirred.
"'And he ordained twelve ... that he might send them forth to
preach ... &#4259950;d to have power to heal sicknesses, and to cast out devils.'
Mark 3:14, 15. There are two basic elements in healing-being full of

MINUTES OF THE 63RD ANNUAL ASSEMBLY 81
faith and power. We have to have faith and power in the Church before
they will work. When your faith and God's power meet, something will
take place. God's power takes preeminence over doctors, medicine, and
everything in the world. The healing virtue of Jesus Christ is real and
de&#6684777;nite.
"' ... that our God would ... ful&#6684777;l all the good pleasure of his
goodness, and the work of faith with power.' 2 Thessalonians 1:11. Ful
&#6684777;ll means that he will convert your faith into reality. Paul said, '&#5505128;at
your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of
God.' 1 Corinthians 2:5. Where is your faith? God can do the impos
_sible. He knows more about you than anyone. David said, 'I will praise
thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made . . . My substance was
·not hid from thee .. .' Psalm 139:14, 15. Our God is able to deliver us!
"When the Hebrew children were thrown in the furnace, the power
of God pushed back the flames-without the smell of smoke on their
clothes. &#5505128;eir faith met God's power! What God already knows about
you, the scientists and doctors will spend millions and not be able to &#6684777;nd
out!"
Ministers formed healfng lines while congregation sang "Reach Out
and Touch the Lord," led by A. B. Woodruff, Georgia Riggs pianist; Judy
Sadler organist. Organ music continued and 1,522 were prayed for and
anointed with oil; 1,920 cloths were anointed.
8:10 Fred Montgomery testi&#6684777;ed to healing. A 16-ton tractor turned
over on him and crushed his ribs. The doctor told him he would die,
but John Speirs prayed all night with him and the next morning the doc
tor said, "the Man upstairs was with you last night.'' Brother Montgomery
has priority in that hospital because they know that God performed
a miracle. He thanked everyone for their prayers, asked everyone to tes&#7602281;fy
that was healed. Brother Tomlinson led the congregation in singing "Where
He Leads Me I Will Follow.''
8:15 Evangelistic message and altar call by Peggy Hooker. Excerpts:
"Our primary goal is to see souls saved. If we humble ourselves and
obey God's will, He will give us the desires of our heart. The hippies
are sweeping the nation. LSD is Satan's way of imitating the Holy Ghost.
Mark 10:17-21 shows that you must sell all that you have and take up
the cross, if you gain eternal life. In Acts 26, Paul testi&#6684777;ed to King
Agrippa. King Agrippa said, ' ... Almost thou persuadest me to be a
Christian.' Paul spoke boldly and. with conviction. When you feel con
viction, you will do one of three things: flatly ref&#9437338;e, be talmost persuad
ed, or say, 'What must I do to be saved.'" Betty Baker sang "Almost
Persuaded," as the altar &#6684777;lled with seekers.

9:22 The Need of Pastors' Seminars-Clive Jared. Excerpts:
"A pastor is a shepherd. He is to protect and feed the sheep. Protect means
to guard against danger. Pastors' seminars will teach us how to guard
our sheep, feed them, and supply them with spiritual blessings. Seminar
means a place where something develops. God wants us to develop into
efficient ministers to carry forth the work of the Church in these last
days. When I receive training and teaching from those over me in the
Lord, I am receiving something that I can teach and preach with author
ity. If it is not supervised and channeled through the Church, I do
not have the authority to teach and preach this as I would otherwise. Bible
Training I&#7209075;titute is doing its part. I'm con&#6684777;dent that our college is
going to meet the need in the lives of our young people. Pastors' seminars
will give us specialized training, new angles and new approaches.
"Unless our young ministers are taught and given the proper instruc
tions in pastoring, some will be offended. I feel that the majority of
our pastors are willing to make some improvement and upgrade their min
istry. We need instructions and supervision by the authority in the Church.
The Church is to .manifest and put forth the wisdom and knowledge of
God.. It will take some will and determination for a pastor to do these
things, but it will help him to present the Church in a more acceptable
way and the Church will grow. Some folks say that the Church is an
organization that has about so many auxiliaries to raise money. Pas
tors, many times, are responsible for this thought. The auxiliaries are
helps in the Church to send forth the message of the Church to the world.
Our commission is to teach all nations.
"We need to meet our responsibility with God. The Church should
challenge the community with its spirits of knowledge, wisdom, and un
derstanding. People who are spiritual are minding the things of the Spir
it and doing what the Spirit wants them to do. 'Enlarge the place of
thy tent, and let them stretch forth the curtains of thine habitations: spare
not, lengthen thy cords, and strengthen thy stakes.' Isaiah 54:2. The
stakes are our local churches, and pastors are to strengthen the stakes.
Churches are basically what pastors make them! I want to be a pastor
after God's own heart.
"In Deuteronomy, God told the children of Israel to quit going around
the mountain and turn northward. As a pastor, I would like to suggest
a few subjects for pastors' seminars: Pastorial Counseling, Visitation, Pub
lic Relations, etc. I believe this world will be stirred with our mes
sage, but we are going to have to challenge the people with it. The bap
tism of the Holy Ghost is going to be that force that will gather God's
people into one. God is going to pull the Church of God out of any ob
scurity it might have been in and present it to the world as a gathering
place for the sheep. God help us, as pastors, to take advantage of these
seminars."
10:00 The White Wing Publishing House Program, directed by Perry
E. Gillum, Manager. Theme: Highway Of Print.

MINUT&#4522067; OF THE 63RD. ANNUAL ASSEMBLY
Brother Gillum read Psalm 68:11 and Psa&#7077997; 26:7, 8, and spoke. John
Cassidy led congregation in prayer. Dorothy Creel led congregation in
choruses. While singing and praising God, the Holy Ghost spoke and
interpretation:
"Yea, I have created thee that thou should show forth my praises. Yea,
I love &#7602280;ee and I gave my life for thee. Yea, why will thou not serve
me with all thine heart, soul, mind and strength? Yea, I rejoice over
thee wi&#7602280; singing. Yea, I delight to look down upon thee and bless thee
when thou gatherest together and worship me. Yea, why will ye not con
tinue in my ways that I might be able to pour out more blessings upon
thee. Yea, I have loved thee and brought thee to this place. Yea, I will
lead thee on into greater things, yea, into greater pastures &#7798889;ll I lead
thee. Yea, and I will direct thee thou needest not fear, thou needest not
be afraid, I will be by thy side and I will lead thee, yea, I will guide
thee as thou goest through the waters they shall not overflow thee. Yea,
thou shall be lead safely through, yea, when thou goest through &#7602280;e
&#6684777;ery trials they shall not hurt thee, yea, thou shall come forth and the
smell of the smoke will not be upon thee because I love thee and be
cause thou worship me." Everyone said, "Thank you Holy Ghost."
10:20 My Years with the White Wing Publishing Hous&#6619181;Frank How
ard, Accountant. Brother Howard has been employed by the Publish
ing House for ten years, and he said it was a privilege to work for God
through the Church. Workers from other departments came asking for
equal time: Free Literature, Sunday School, Happy Harvester, White
Wing Messenger, and Bethel Book Club.
10:40 Highway of Print-message by J. B. Wright, World Language
Secretary. Excerpts:
"'&#5505128;e voice of him that crieth in the wilderness,· Prepare ye the way
of the Lord, make straight in the desert a highway for our God. Every
valley shall be exalted, and every mountain and hill shall be made low:
and the crooked shall be made straight, and the rough places plain: And
the glory of the Lord shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see it to
gether: for the mouth of the Lord hath spoken it.' Isaiah 40:3-5. &#5505128;e
purpose of this Highway was to make it possible that all flesh might see
the glory of the Lord. Highway means a road that is open and use
able by the public. 'And an highway shall be there, and a way, and it
shall be called The way of holiness .. .' Isaiah 35:8. Everybody uses
the pi&#6750312;way. They don't all use the Holy Way-they could, but they don't.
The Highway of Print goes' everywhere the mail goes; &#7602280;is Highway is
useable for every place. Taxes are paid by everyone to build our high
ways because everyone uses the highways. This way it is not costly to
anyone. It is the same way with the Hi&#6750312;way of Print. Every family
in Egypt could receive a message by this Highway • and the country be
evangelized for $5,440. You couldn't send missionaries that cheap!
"We have a product to deliver, and it can be done over the Highway
of Print. &#5505128;e Publishing House spent approximately $40,000 for this pur
pose this year. This doubles the average that was spent over the period
of the last ten years."
• Brother Wright read a letter from a man in Brazil and his reply. &#5505138;acts
were sent to him in Portuguese. A soldier wrote for tracts in the Ice
landic Language-we had none to send.
"I want to send the product and not a letter of regret. The High
way of &#5242994;int gives us a useful channel to reach people like bl&#6881390;d Bar�

timaeus or Zacchaeus. Many are waiting, looking, expecting the message
of salvation through the channel of the Church of God and the High
way of Print. Many languages-but one Lord, one Church, one doctrine.
A good example for procedure is in Esther 8:9, 10-the Highway of Print
was· used."
11:15 Sue Johnson sang "Don't Take That Love From Me"; Phil and
Betty Barker sang "Please Stop Running Away From God"; brass trio
played "There Is a Fountain Filled With Blood."
11:25 A Powerful Force-Our Sunday School Literature-Robert J.
Pruitt, Editor. He stated that the Word of God is the basis for our Sun
day school literature, and read Proverbs 24:27. He said the literature
can be a tremendous force, if it is put to use-otherwise it is nothing,
it just lays there. He referred to the Sunday school lessons and how we
need response from them-lives changed.
11:39 The Christells sang "Shout, Brother, Shout."
11:44 We Must Throw the Printers Ink Pot at the Devil-Harold (Joe)
Parker, Press Administrator. Brother Parker read Psalm 68:11, 1 John
2:14 and 2 Timothy 4:13. He said the printed word does not change from
the &#6684777;rst printing the the last, and that the world has a pagan press. He
stated that literature is the greatest force we have in this war of ideals,
and when we publish the Gospel, we publish an infallible message.
12:01 The White Wing Messenger an Important Publication for the
Home-R. 0. Covey, Assistant Editor. Brother Covey read Isaiah 52:7,
and stated that the White Wing Messenger is influential and provokes
thought. The White Wing Messenger publishes peace and salvation. It
is a valuable piece of literature for the Church of God home.

en Is A Wonderful Place," directed by Phillip Barker.
2:25 Concert prayer. Message by General Secretary. Brother Talbott
mentioned that the thought for his message came
·
from Audrey Meir's
song "Consume Me." Excerpts:
"A consuming &#6684777;re completely eradicates everything it touches. When
we &#6684777;rst gave our hearts to the Lord, we became mighty flames of &#6684777;re.
Many times earthly &#6684777;res fade away. Young people, these spiritual &#6684777;res,
this mighty &#6684777;re of the baptism of the Holy Ghost must not fade away.
It must stay alive; it must consume our hearts and lives, if we want to
be a blessing. We are privileged to know about this flame-the Holy
Ghost.
"There are many kinds of &#6684777;re. One is the &#6684777;re of humility. If we are
not humble, we cannot be an effective soul winner. The hippies are seek
ing identity; the kind of identity that you and I have found in this flame
of &#6684777;re, the Holy Ghost. Instead of being &#6684777;lled with pride-be &#6684777;lled with
humility. Before you can win a soul to the Lord you must be concerned,
you must have a compassionate spirit. In the Church of God, through
the blood of Jesus Christ, we have found the identity others are seek
ing. If this flame is burning intently within us, we will move out.
"W·e have gained approximately 7,000 Victory Leaders this year. &#5505128;is
could be increased to 14,000, if we keep the &#6684777;re burning! God help us
to lead them to Christ on the job, on the college campus, wherever we
are. Win them to God &#6684777;rst; then they will want to come to church. 'Where
fore we receiving a kingdom which cannot be moved, let us have grace,
whereby we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear:
For our God is a consuming &#6684777;re.' Hebrews 12:28, 29. He can consume
our hearts! Sometimes we become as embers. If we fan the embers with
prayer and fasting, we will become flames of &#6684777;re again.
"'According to the grace of God which is given unto me, as a wise
master builder, I have laid the foundation, and another buildeth there
on. But let every man take heed how he buildeth thereupon.' 1 Co
rinthians 3:10. Your former general secretaries laid a good foundation
for you, young people. However, the real foundation was laid by Jesus
Christ. It is up to us to keep building upon this foundation. 'Now if any
man build upon this foundation gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay,
stubble; Every man's work shall be made manifest: for the day shall de
clare it, because it shall be revealed by &#6684777;re; and the &#6684777;re shall try
every man's work of what sort it is.' 1 Corinthians 3:12, 13. When we
build upon the principles of God and the doctrine and foundation of Christ

86 MINUTES OF THE 63RD &#9371811;&#4259916; ASSEMBLY
and the Church, we are building on solid. ground. This is how we
must build and spread the flame to others-through Yc;mth Life Teams,
printed tracts, etc. If our Victory Leaders will become·· spiritual flames
of &#6684777;re, the &#6684777;nance will come for rebuilding the Publishing· House and
reprinting our tract supply."
2:55 International Youth Camp Choir sang "Cqnsume Me" and "First
Place," directed by Jimmy Whittaker.
3:00 SOMETHING SPECIAL-followed by Free Literature Offering.
Roy Day, Michigan Overseer, presented Perry Gillum with a special of&#3014760;
fering of $1,400 for the White Wing Publishing House building, now un
der construction. Brother Gillum expressed the appreciation of the Com
mittee. Harry Lee Moore stated that once again the youth of the Church
is challenged to rise to the task and pay for the Publishing House, to
print and publish the Church's message throughout the world. Victory
Leaders, dressed as &#6684777;remen, came with buckets to receive the offering
and help put out the flames of destruction and rebuild the Publishing
House. Congregation sang "The Windows Of Heaven Are Open," led by
Phil Smith and Larry Turner.

3:18 Flames of Witnessing on the College Campus-Jerry Brown. Sis
ter Brown told about life on a college campus; how she counsels with
the young people and knows their problems. She read &#4522083;clesiastes 12:1,
and said it was a privilege to be among the youth of the Church-the
youth that will conquer the world someday. She stated that regardless
of the degrees received, it is whether we please God and do His will
that counts; that people are watching our lives, and it's the one we would
least expect. She told of young people searching for something and they
can't &#6684777;nd this until Christian young people introduce them to Christ.
We must stand for our Saviour!

Report of Tomlinson College Board of Directors
To the 63rd annual Assembly of the Church of God, Greetings:
We, your Board of Directors of Tomlinson College, submit the follow
ing report:
1. The second year of Tomlinson College was highly successful. En
rollment increased &#6684786;om 39 during the &#6684777;rst year to 74 this past
year. Degrees were conferred on 23 students at the &#6684777;rst commence
ment exercises on May 31, 1968. It is anticipated that 105 students
will be in attendance when classes begin next week, 70 of whom will
be &#6684777;rst-year participants.
2. We are pleased that several graduates have successfully trans
ferred their Tomlinson College credits to Tennessee Wesleyan, to Lee,
and to various colleges in other localities. For example, 1968 class vale
dictorian James Boone attained straight "A's" at Tennessee Wesleyan
during the summer. Dean Toombs H. Kay, Jr. of Tennessee Wesleyan
advised that Tomlinson College transfers would be given provisional
admission for one quarter; then their academic records would be
re-evaluated in light of grades earned at Tennessee Wesleyan. He
further stated that his experience with students from Tomlinson
College had been very good and that they had achieved better than
average grades. Dean of Admissions Stanley Butler of Lee College
stated: "We will cooperate and accept credits from your college with
the following official statement-that we agree to accept all applicable

88 MINUTES OF THE 63RD ANNUAL ASSEMBLY
work, subject to normal practices in accepting transfer students."
3. The Veterans' Administration program has now been approved for
eligible students attending Tomlinson College.
4. &#5505128;e class curriculum and the College staff are being expanded this
year, which points out the continuing progress of the College.
5. The new dormitory, which is near completion, will accommodate 144
students. The new cafeteria/student center is under construction
and should be completed within the next six weeks. New library
facilities were added during the past year. &#5701736;en the dining hall is
completed, the value of campus buildings will be approximately
$500,000, compared to $110,000 before construction began on the dor
mitory.
6. We express our sincere appreciation to the states, local churches, in
dividual members, and friends for the enthusiastic support given
to Tomlinson College. A recent gift of $10,000 will be used for grant
ing mission scholarships.
7. The term of John C. Newkirt on the Board of Directors expires dur
ing this Assembly. Brother Newkirt has been involved in the Col
lege pro&#6750322;am since the original Committee on Education was ap
pointed by our General Overseer. We know that you will join
with us in expressing appreciation to him for the time and effort
he has spent in this capacity.
8. Although the College has made substantial progress during its &#6684777;rst
two years, it is recognized that its future growth is dependent upon
God's help and your support.

4:15 The President told of progress, recognized assistance received in
1967-68, and introduced the staff. INSTRUCTORS-Daniel Preston, aca
demic dean; Phillip Barker, minister of music; Mary Grace Brady, English
and Psychology; Raymond Pruitt, Bible; Morris Hitchcock, History, Busi
ness, and registrar; Kendrick Linville, librarian, and wife, dorm resi
dent advisors; Part-time: Patricia Minter, Robert Pruitt, and Harold Ham
mond. Evelyn Gillum is secretary to the president and Linda Bridges
is receptionist-secretary. Fern Smith is cafeteria manager, Ralph Smith
and Beatrice McDill are helpers. Harry Lee Moore, chairman of the
Board of Directors, presented James B. Wright with a gift in apprecia
tion for his service as instructor in Spanish and Bible Doctrine for the
past two years.
Mary Grace Brady testi&#6684777;ed for the faculty. She told how the students
and faculty have grown in Christ-becoming consecrated and dedicat
ed to the work of the Lord. Harold Hunter sang "Father, I Love You,"
written by Allen VanDeventer, Tomlinson College graduates. Mr. and Miss
Tomlinson College for 1968, Sheila Brennen and James Boone, testi&#6684777;ed
for the student body.
4:47 Prayer by General Overseer. THE CHURCH TRIUMPHANT'-a
program of scriptural narrations and songs, telling of the Church from
its organization by Christ to its triumphant rapture-presented by Tomlin
son College Choir, directed by Phillip Barker, instructor.
5:15 Preparing For Victory-message by Daniel Preston, Bible in
structor and academic dean. Excerpts:
" 'If thou hast run with the footmen, and they have wearied thee, then
how canst thou contend with horses? and if in the land of peace, where
in thou trustedst, they wearied thee, then how wilt thou do in the
swelling of Jordan?' Jeremiah 12:5. When God asks a question, it demands
considerable thought. Jeremiah is called the weeping prophet because
God told him to root up and pluck down. Some feel they must have
total popularity, but Isaiah, Jeremiah, Amos and other great men were
not popular with the people. However, they did please God and that is
the important thing. Jeremiah was murdered by his own people and is
an example of an individual who prepared for victory and even in death,
he won a great victory.
"At Tomlinson College, we are preparing the youth for victory. Young
people are facing perilous times today-destruction from without and
within. Some believe the educated do not believe in the Spirit. Tom
linson College cannot operate without the moving and manifestation of
the Holy Ghost in our midst. Student revolt is in the land today, but we
are not looking for revolt at Tomlinson College. Some colleges and uni-

versities condone sexual relationship before marriage, but Tomlinson Col
lege does not! We are striving for better things-moving on to deeper
and higher heights in the glory and love of God.
" 'Where is the wise? where is the scribe? where is the disputer of
this world? hath not God made foolish the wisdom of this world? For
after that in the wisdom of God the world by wisdom knew not God,
it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save them that believe.'
1 Corinthians 1:20, 21. In all his wisdom and intelligence, Socrates never
found God. Man's knowledge led to atheism. Jesus Christ receives pre-emi
nence in our course of study. 'Yea, doubtless, and I count all things but loss
for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom
I have suffered the loss of all things, and do count them but dung, that
I may win Christ, And be found in him, not having mine own right
eousness, which is of the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ,
the righteousness which is of God by faith: That I may know him . . .'
Philippians 3:8-10. Our aim is to prepare young men and women to
face the storms of Jordan, to run with horses and to walk and not faint;
going forward, realizing that we have what the world is waiting for and
needs. I believe G&#7274596; has His hand on this program!"
Brother Wilkinson thanked everyone for the nice offering.
5:40 Annual Praise Service directed by H. M. Biggers. The congre
gation, by sections, said "Praise the Lord" and "Glory Hallelujah." Mikey

7:20 Thomas Feltman gave a report of the work in &#5505128;ailand. He
talked about Isaiah saying, "Here am I, send me.'' He asked the Lord
to use him, and he was sent to Thailand by the United States Air Force.
While there, he organized two churches with a total of 32 members.
Their church building was built by faith. Two men rode a motorcycle

MINUTES OF THE 63RD ANNUAL ASSEMBLY 91
600 miles to ask about the Church of God-today they are ministers in
the Church. Brother Feltman prayed to go to the Mississippi State
Convention; but while the convention was going on, he baptized 12 and
added 6 members to the Church. He has been in the Air Force for 18
years and has 2 more. He is praying that the Lord will use him wherever
he goes.
7:30 Abraham Huerta told of the work in Venezuela. He said it was
.a privilege to take the message of the Gospel to his country. He would
like for the Word of God to consume Venezuela. He stated that Venezuela
is a young nation, mad.e up &#4391004;f young people and that there is a great
opportunity to reach the youth. (Interpreted by Felix Garcia)
7:40 Report by Antonio Ledezma Soto, overseer of South America and
Central America representative. (Interpreted by Felix Garcia) Brother
Soto told of the work in Cuba and he and his family plan to visit in
Cuba, the Lord helping them. He said that four groups of people in &#7602280;e
Republic of Ecuador are receiving our literature, and he hopes a church
will be organized soon. In Columbia and Argentina there is a need for
workers. The people are praying for God to send someone.

8:00 Parade of Nations. Approximately 43 girls, representing the coun
tries where we have work, marched to the platform carrying the flags
of those countries. "To the Regions Beyond" was sung in different languages,
directed by Phil Barker and Jack Moss.
8:15 Regions Beyond-message by World Mission Secretary. Excerpts:
" 'To preach the gospel in regions beyond you, and not to boast in an
other man's line of things made ready to our hand.' 2 Corinthians 10:16.
The scriptures that record the apostle Paul's travels have been a source
of inspiration to every missionary. Bible scholars agree that the driving
force behind his ministry was the &#6684777;rm conviction that he was divinely
commissioned to do his work. The responsibility to lost humanity and
the need to extend the message of Jesus Christ to a dying world is no
less today than it was at the time the apostle Paul set out on his &#6684777;rst mis
sionary journey to blaze the trail of Christianity into Asia Minor.
" ' ... and multiply your seed sown, and increase your fruits of your
righteousness.' 2 Corinthians 9:10. Think of the principle of multiplying.
Your numbers increase rapidly with adding but when you multiply, the
&#6684777;gures astound the imagination. Our purpose as Christians is to use
multiplication in converting the souls of men. The result of the &#6684777;rst mis
sionary journey was a revolution in history setting the true course of the
Church of God that was to be followed through the ages. Jews and
Greeks were now members of the same body. This should have been a
time of great rejoicing, but the spirit of division was there.
"Paul returned to visit the brethren. The churches were strengthened
in the faith, and increased in number daily. God blessed the efforts of

92 MINUTES OF THE 63RD ANNUAL ASSEMBLY
Paul as he spread the message of the Church further west, establishing
the people in the doctrine. What kept this man so highly endowed and
with such remarkable success behind him from pushing further onward
and extending the borders of the Church to the Regions Beyond? Perhaps
the answer lies in First Corinthians, where he deals with a number of
problems. ' ... when your faith is increased, that we shall be enlarged
by you according to our rule abundantly.' 2 Corinthians 10:15. He could
see the Gospel of Christ reaching further west, but he felt that before
he could go to the Regions Beyond, their faith must be increased, di
visions healed, false teachers silenced, energies set free from the strife
within the Church. However, Paul did go to the Regions Beyond!
"In the Church, we stand at a crossroads. We can go in two direc
tions: continue on the treadmill of self-condemnation; or, increase our
faith by pulling down the strong holds of Satan and prepare for the work
ahead. We are glad for a good increase, but are we guilty of 'boast
ing in ourselves' and creating a sense of false security? Paul could
have pushed further west and reported another country reached with the
Gospel, but what would he have gained if the work he left behind had
suffered. At home our existing work must be so established in the
faith that they can be left alone to carry on the work.
"&#5505128;ere is no place in the Church of God for perpetual Missions. Mis
sions will never end until the Church completes its work on earth; its
whole objective is to make it no longer necessary. Our aim is to make
every mission &#6684777;eld a participant in the task of spreading the Gospel to
the Regions Beyond. When the true spirit of the Church strikes deep
into the hearts of all of our people, we will be able to put the principle
of multiplication in action and the Regions Beyond will be reached."
Brother Hawkins invited all to come and pray. Bahama Brass Band
furnished music.

er Stephens read a tribute to the women. Then he said, "Forty years
ago at the 23rd annual Assembly of the Church of God, a challenge went
forth to the women of the Church. As torchbearers, they were called
to walk unknown paths and sail unchartered seas, pioneering and blazing
a trail for others to follow. Dauntless and enterprising, they were saved
to serve and went to work. Proverbs 31:10-29 is the &#6684777;nest example of
·womanhood. These women have attained a unique place in our hearts
.and history of the Church. We are indebted to them for their unfail
_ing and sacri&#6684777;cial efforts."

11:00 Torchbearers-Their Goal-&#5505128;eir Reward, message by General
Secretary. Excerpts:
" 'In him was life; and the life was the light of men. That was the true
Light, which lighteth every man that come&#7602280; into the world.' John 1:4, 9.
&#5505128;e light that could not be crushed by oppression or persecution. Jesus
said, ' ... I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not
walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.' John 8:12. A person
can have perfect vision, but if he does not know God, he is blind.
Christ's ministry was a busy ministry. He automatically shined because
the life &#6881390; Him made Him shine. The light is not limited to one place
or area, but it can be an abundance of light.
"To the members of the Church, He said, 'Ye are the light of the world.
A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid.' Matthew 5:14. Since Jesus
is no longer in the world, the Church is. shining in His steps. A city
is a group of individuals living within a designated area that have a gov
ernment and organization. 'Set on a hill' projects the thought of a high
spiritual experience. It takes climbing the high hill of spiritual experience
for Christians to radiate the light of Christ. Let the Spirit of the Holy
Ghost operate in and through you. The Church is the light of the world,
but the Church is made up of individuals. If the Church shines, indi
viduals have to shine. If the Church of God goes into every continent
of the world, individuals will have to take the Church of God there.
'Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works,
and glorify your Father which is in heaven.' Matthew 5:16. We have
a responsibility to give this light to someone else.
"You may think you are giving much to the Church of God, but the
Church of God gives a lot in return. It is time to quit thinking of what
the Church is going to do for us, and ask what we are doing for the
Church? The life that we possess is like a torch. Parents, we need to
realize that we carry a light for our children. We hand this torch down

MINUT&#4522067; OF THE 63RD ANNUAL ASSEMBLY 95
from generation to generation. With all the things our young people
can get mixed up in today, we should be glad to give them to the mis
sion &#6684777;eld. We need to put in our children the desire to carry the Church
of God torch! President Lincoln said, ' ... that these dead shall not have
died in vain.' This challenges me! Paul said, 'I beseech you there
fore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your b&#7274596;ies a liv
ing sacri&#6684777;ce, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable serv
ice.' Romans 12:1. It is honorable to give ourselves unto the service of
the Lord. I want to see the Church of God go on to that perfect state.
We need to hold that torch higher and higher to be presented unto the
Lord.''
11:30 Roberta Matthews sang "Somebody Bigger Than You and I."
11:40 The overseers announced their Assembly offerings, and Sister
Howard presented sets of brass offering plates to Te&#7209070;essee-$3,270.52-
for the largest Assembly offering and Kentucky-$2,672.54-second largest.

retary. Music by Virgin Islands Steel Band, Bahama Brass Band, Gospel

4:9, 10; 31:12, 13; Isaiah 54:13; Matthew 28:19; Colossians 1:28. David Bra
land led the congregation in singing, "He's Coming Soon."
1:35 Sunday School Evangelism-message by Shirley Halpain. Excerpts:
"At the &#6684777;rst Assembly in 1906, it was suggested that the Sunday School
be promoted, that every church conduct a Sunday school and that the
Sunday School reach out into communities and towns where we had no
churches. This Department has been teaching and wa&#7471214;ing people of
their sins for years, but I believe that ·it is time to reach souls from the
results of our teaching. Sunday school is important in soul winning.
Superintendents, it would pay you to check your Sunday School enroll
ment and see how many people do not know God. They are your sheep
on Sunday morning. Statistics show that three-fourths of the children
under thirteen years of age in our Sunday schools are not Christians and
this is the best age to reach them for God. Souls do not just happen!
They &#6684777;nd God because somebody has compassion and a burden for their
soul.
"The Sunday school teacher is so important that they are placed third
in 1 Corinthians 12:28-apostles, prophets, and teachers. What for? Ephe
sians 4:12 says for the work of the ministry, and there is a ministry in
teaching. Preparation and a thorough study of the Word of God is im
portant; but, a prayerful life is also important to a Sunday school teacher.
The Word of God is anointed. What we need is anointed teachers that
will teach the Word in the power and anointing of the Ho-ly Ghost-this
will bring results!
"To teach is to cause to learn. We must see that our pupils understand
the Word of God. 'When any one heareth the word of the kingdom, and
understandeth it n&#7274541;t, then cometh the wicked one, and catcheth away
that which was sown in his heart. This is he which received seed by
the way side.' Matthew 13:19. Do we have any way-side teaching today?
'To the weak became I as weak, that I might gain the weak: I am made
all things to all men, that I might by all means save some.' 1 Corinthians
9:22. We must become all things to all men that we might gain some
for the Lo-rd. Teaching is so important-don't take it lightly. We can
not afford to let people meet God unprepared.
"Teachers, Psalm 126:6 says, 'He that goeth forth and weepeth, bear
ing precious seed, shall doubtless come again with rejoicing, bringing his
sheaves with him.' "
Brother Murray read statistics from the year's reports: 1,866 saved;
1,140 sancti&#6684777;ed; 730 &#6684777;lled with the Holy Ghost in our Sunday schools
this year.

1:58 Boutonnieres were presented to pastors whose Sunday schools
made the "Top Ten" list in the White Wing Messenger.
2:03 The Value of Vacation Bible School-message by Frank Hughes.
Brother Hughes stated that only 22 per cent of the churches in the Unit
ed States conducted Vacation Bible Schools. He read &#5242994;overbs 10:5 and
said he felt that Vacation Bible School is an agency in the Church that
touches the lives of many people and offers the opportunity for a great
harvest of souls each summer. He told the bene&#6684777;ts of the school: it
reaches many children that don't know about Jesus or the Church; it
gives Christian training; it is an opportu&#7209065;ty for evangelism; it reaches
new families; and it provides Christian fellowship. He mentioned the work
of Eddie and Sue Dusky, who were won to the Church through a Vacation
Bible School contact.
2:20 Brother Murray introduced a teacher-trai&#7209065;ng program that will
be promoted through the Sunday ·school Department. It will be in a

98 MINUTES OF THE 63RD ANNUAL ASSEMBLY
series of four courses: (1) CALLED TO TEACH, (2) THE BODY OF
CHRIST, (3) ELEM ENT ARY BIBLE KNOWLEDGE, and (4) An elec
tive course for the age-group which the respective teacher is teaching.
Upon successfully completing the courses, the student will be awarded a
CERTIFIED TEACHER'S CERTIFICATE. (This is not to license any
one to teach, as mentioned in the General Overseer's Annual Address.)
Robert Pruitt, Sunday School Editor, introduced the &#6684777;rst course CALLED
TO TEACH, and stated that it was a quality book. Brother Murray pre
sented a copy of CALLED TO TEACH to the General Overseer.
2:30 Musical arrangement of "The Holy City," directed by Phil Barker.
2:35 Every Man In His Place-message by General Secretary. Ex
cerpts:
"'And they stood every man in his place round about the camp: and
all the host ran, and cried, and fled.' Judges 7:21. The story of Gideon
is very interesting. God told Gideon that he had too many men, and it
ended with 300 men against 135,000. We are in the Lord's battle today
and must not forget that He is the Captain. Just as He was working
then, He is working in the world today. The secret of the battle is 'And
they stood every man in his place . . .' Gideon told the men to take an
earthen pitcher, with a lamp inside it, and break these vessels, at the
proper time, so the light could shine; then, blow a trumpet to call at
tention to the light. Are we blowing the trumpet too soon today, before
we get these earthen vessels completely broken so the light can shine
forth that His power be manifest to the people?
"We need to &#6684777;nd our place as in Romans 12:3-8a. Different gifts were
given to men to ful&#6684777;ll their particular work in the Church. I love to
preach, but I believe many have been pushed into preaching that have
had a de&#6684777;nite call to teach. Sometimes we relegate Ephesians 4:8 back
to the Old Testament, but He said, ' ... When he ascended up on high ...
and gave gifts unto men.' (He read Ephesians 4:9-12.) To teach means
to cause to understand. There is an element of teaching in good preach
ing. The General Overseer mentioned the teaching ministry, and the
Questions and Subjects Committee has requested that we pray about it.
So, let us, the Assembly, s&#7602293;dy and pray about this and &#6684777;nd God's will.
After his trip around the world, the General Overseer said, 'We are not
going to get the work done through preaching alone. We have to teach
these people the doctrine and practices of the Church.'
"Jesus taught His disciples to wash feet. He didn't preach to them,
but he got down and taught them. It is easy to preach at people. We
haven't brought o&#7667826; people along unto spiritual maturity-perfection
because we haven't taken the time to teach every man in all wisdom
that. we might present every man p .er f e ct in Christ Jesus. Telling
isn't teaching. Our procedure has been to tell or preach, but we need
to show them how to put a plan into operation as Jesus did.
"'Now there were in the church that was at Antioch certain prophets
and teachers; as Barnabas, and Simeon that was called Niger, and Lucius
of Cyrene, and Manaen.' (one local church) Acts 13:1. &#5505128;is was a
spiritual church, and their secret was 'every man in his place.' In Acts
18:24-26, Apollos was instructed in the way of the Lord. Pastors need
God-called teachers to help them do the work of the ministry in reaching
people through the local churches-establishing them in the doctrine.
" 'Therefore leaving the principles of the doctrine of Christ, let us go
on unto perfection; not laying again the foundation of repentance from

MINUTES OF THE 63RD A&#5111886;UAL ASSEMBLY 99
.dead works, and of faith toward God.' Hebrews 6:1. We cannot stay at
the foundation of a building and build it. D&#7274606;'t mess with the foundation
of the Church of God-the doctrine! It's been laid.
"We desire to magnify this office to help people take hold of it and
ful&#6684777;ll what will be a vital ministry to them and to the Church. The
Word of God is by the inspiration of the Holy Ghost and is the power of
God unto salvation, whether taught or preached.''
3:20 The Three T's sang "Dear Jesus Abide With Me," and the Lark
wood, Louisville Choir sang "I Want That Kind of Blessing" and "I'll
Be At Home."
3:33 Presentation of Awards.
A banner was presented to the church having the largest attendance in
the world-Petite de Rivere l'Artibonite, Haiti-993. A plaque was pre
sented to Michigan for winning the largest number of pupils in the March
campaign-456. Gift certi&#6684777;cates were presented to: Coweta, Oklahoma

convention orphanage offering-$10,800.16; Minnesota for largest state con
vention orphanage offering according to number of churches-$214.56; East

3:45 Program by Tomlinson Home for Children in charge of Gerald H.
Minter, Superintendent.
The children sang "Do You Know That You've Been Born Again," and "A
Flag to Follow." Jimmie Evans and Gene Caples repeated the United
States flag pledge. Brother Minter introduced the workers, and talent
was displayed by the children from each home. Everyone repeated the
Lord's Prayer in closing.
4:23 The Gospelettes sang "I'm Gonna Wait, Wait Right Here Until
He Comes"; Betty Barker sang "If to Gain the World"; &#7602280;e Tidewater
Area Choir sang "Reach Out, Receive a Blessing," "There's a Name
Above All Others," and "You May Ask Why I'm Happy." One song by
the Puerto Rican Singers.
5:00 Florida Program directed by M. T. Linkous, Overseer. Comments
by the Overseer, and Joe Crews led the Florida delegates in prayer.
Brother Linkous read Ephesians 3:16-19 and spoke briefly. Eddie Mounce
sang "Lord, Dear Lord, Do It Again.'' C. I. Mackey, &#6684777;eld secretary for
Florida, spoke, and George Knowles sang "Take My Hand, Precious Lord."
A skit, "Mister Music," was directed by Genelle Mounce, showing lost
opportunities by neglecting music in the churches. Christine Miskelly
and Betty Baker sang "If Jesus Said It, I Believe It," and Henry Lee
Willis spoke. The Directors sang "Not My Will," and The Excelsior Gos
pelettes and The Gospel Chariots sang "Climbing Up The Mountain.''
Everyone manifested the zeal and courage to reach every person in the
state with the Church of God message.
5:50 A praise service was conducted by &#4522084;na Rye a&#6881433;d Tex-ie Jestes
led in choruses. Sister Rye referred to the Psalmist . David saying, "Let

100 MINUTES OF THE 63RD ANNUAL ASSEMBLY
every thing that hath breath praise the Lord." Then she: had· the con
gregation to testify, by sections, thanking the Lord for being saved, sanc
tified and &#6684777;lled with the baptism of the Holy Ghost. Sister Jestes led
the congregation in singing "Amazing Grace" and "When the Church of
God Arises." Everyone prayed that many souls would be won to the
Lord this year.
EVENING
6:20 Broadcast Record Club Singers, in charge of Thomas Duncan.
Brother Duncan told of the beginning, organization, and purpose of the
club. The Christens, Marie Williams, and The Gospelettes sang. The
Christens recorded an album for BRC this year. The Tomlinson Col
lege Choir won $100.00 and Phil Barker, director, was crowned king of
the Broadcast Record Club for 1968. Gift certi&#6684777;cates were presented to
the runners-up: Tomlinson College Trio, Tomlinson College Chorale, Golden
Tripletts, Ronnie Crews, and Dan Howell. Brother Duncan mentioned
that "Pentecostal Fire" would be the new theme song for. the Voice of
Salvation.
• 7:00 Edsel Hartman led the congregation in singing "The Church of
God Flag." A group of seventeen stood behind him, each holding a Church
of God flag.
7:10 Our Church Flag and Why God Desires His People to Have a
Banner-message by William Coile. Excerpts:
"The flag is another point of doctrine in the Church of God. 'But ye
are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar
people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you
out of darkness into his marvellous light.' 1 Peter 2:9. As members of
the Church of God, we are God's holy nation. 'Now therefore ye are no
more strangers and foreigners, but fellowcitizens with the saints, and of
the household of God.' Ephesians 2:19. There are different nationalities
in this congregation, but we are fellow citizens of the household of God.
We are a holy nation and fellow citizens of this nation. If other nations
have a banner, why shouldn't God's holy nation have a banner. David
said, '&#5505128;ou hast given a banner to them that fear thee, that it may be
displayed because of the truth.' Psalm 60:4. The flag was presented to
the General Assembly in 1933, along with scriptures that pertained to it.
Our former General Overseer said, 'I had planned on having a formal
dedication of the flag, but since the Holy Ghost has moved so wonder
fully, we will just consider that this flag was dedicated by the Holy Ghost.'
"God didn't give us the flag to hide in a pulpit, . but He gave this
banner that we might display it because of the truth. When somebody
wants to hide it, I feel that they are just as unpatriotic to the Church,
as a person pulling down a national flag. We need Church patriotism
people that will stand up for the Church of God. ' ... and in the name
of our God we will set up our banners . . .' Psalm 20:5. This means
that salvation, sancti&#6684777;cation, the Holy Ghost, and the Church of God
has come, when this banner is set up in a nation. In Song of Solomon
6:8-10, the flag is a tribute to the pioneers of the Church. 'Open ye the
gates, that the righteous nation which keepeth the truth may enter in.'
Isaiah 26:2. Lift high the flag and display it because of the truth. Never
be ashamed of it! Let people know what you stand for.''
7:30 Public Relations Program, Elwood Matthews, Director.

MINUTES OF.THE 63RD ANNUAL ASSEMBLY 101
. There was a demonstration about a "College Student SIT-IN." Some
studen&#7602291; were dressed as "hippies" and carried placards saying, "Free
dom," "Stop The Establishment," "Stop The War," etc. Violence seemed
to be their only means of expression. Then, the Christian students en
tered, carrying placards naming th&#6619195;\,"Fruit of &#7602280;e Spirit," and singing
"Up, Up, With Jesus." These students protested against sin and evil;
they stood for Christianity, Christ and His Church. Linda Harris testi
&#6684777;ed about life on a college campus and told how God needs college stu
dents who will stand up for Him. Louis Crenshaw led the young people
in singing "I Have Decided to Follow Jesus." Linda Ferrie told the
congregation that these are the young people of the Church; they are
the start of a revolution-a spiritual revolution.
7:50 "The Battle Hymn of the Republic," ins&#7602290;umental number by
Jim Whittaker, Phil Barker, Mike Hopkins, and Dare! Talbott. Jim Whit
taker led the congregation in singing this song, as servicemen Larry Big
gers and Allen South marched to the platform carrying the Church flag
and the Christian flag.
Brother Mat&#7602280;ews commented about our servicemen and how they are
"Ministering to the Military." Many servicemen have been instrumental
in winning souls to Christ. Joe C. Crews, chaplain's assistant at Fort
Dix, spoke on "The Work of an Army Chaplain." He said that a chap
lain is a pastor in uniform, and the main concern of the chaplain is
the soldier's spiritual welfare. Tommy Griffin (now in Viet Nam) sang
"Show Me Thy Way, 0 Lord." The Spirit of God moved, and Brother
Matthews asked the congregation to stand in a moment· of silence, show
ing respect for · the servicemen around the world that had lost &#7602280;eir
lives this year. The Linda Bunce Trio sang "In ·Heaven," followed by
concert prayer for servicemen around the world.
Jack Stewart made a large Church flag with paper flowers. Brother
Matthews requested those who had friends, relatives, and &#3801198;eighbors serv
ing in the armed forces to come, after the altar service, and receive
a ribbon and flower, signifying that they would be praying for our serv
icemen. He also talked about "Operation Hospitality," a program de
signed by the Public Relations Depar&#7602285;ent to promote a spirit of fel
lowship and unity within the Church, and create an atmosphere of warm
hospitality, friendliness and courtesy toward others. (A
.
pamphlet was
given out by the ushers concerning this.)
8:30 Roberta Matthews, Joy and Verlin Tho&#7471214;ton sang "He Looked
Beyond My Fault And Saw My Need."
8:35 Operation Hospitality-message by Elwood Matthews. Excerpts:
"Hezekiah was one of the faithful kings of Judah and was highly fa
vored of God. When he was about to die, God extended his life for &#6684777;fteen
years and from God's help, he was able to resist an Assyrian attack
on Jerusalem. His fame was scattered abroad and the Babylonian .king
sent a special embassy to congratulate him. H&#7274611;pitality was extended to
these in its greatest form. 'Then came Isaiah the prophet unto king Heze
kiah, and said unto him, What said these men? and from whence came
they unto thee? And Hezekiah said, They are come from a far country,
even from Babylon. And he said, What have they seen in thine house?
And Hezekiah answered, All the things that are in mine house have
they seen: .. there is nothing among my treasures that I have not shewed
them.' 2 Kings 20:14, 15. But no where did he say, I want to show you

102 MINUTES OF THE 63RD ANNU&#4259916; ASSEMBLY
the book of law, the temple, the way I w·orship, or in&#7602290;oduce him to
the true and living God.
"What have our relatives, friends, or neighbors seen in our homes, or
daily lives? Do we get so carried away with showing people things in our
homes that· we forget to witness for Jesus Christ? If they want friend
ship and fellowship, tell them to come to our church. Many of our young
people are growing up bitter toward the Church. What have they seen
in our houses? Some churches have been so busy 'polishing the machin
ery,' that they have dwindled away to nothing and still haven't accom
plished anything. Do they see a united force or a divided &#6684777;eld? Some
times our pastors can't get outside our four walls because we are 'down
and out' and he has to straighten us out. God's people need to build on
one another's work. (Pastors following pastors, and overseers following
overseers.)
"The Book says we must be 'given to hospitality' (Romans 12:13). Have
they seen intolerance? That is, that we don't agree with somebody's
theology altogether. Our job is to love and woo them with a Christian
attitude to the extent that they will be a part of us, rather than con
demning what they are.
"I believe in speaking in tongues, but when everybody tries to give
messages, the Holy Ghost cannot work. Are we apologetic church mem
bers? Because of apologizing, and the size, many people doubt that &#7602280;is
is God's Church. They must see a house of expectancy, enthusiasm
and contentment for what we are doing and for Whom it is done. God
help us to be content in the Word of God. God knows our faults and
He can supply our needs! God wants us to have q,uality and quantity. The
world can &#6684777;nd materialism any place, but we must show them a spirit
&#6684777;lled, Holy Ghost people that fear God and know there is work to be
done! It is imperative now, because the end is near. Everything is point
ing to the end-nations are unstable, Israel is re-building the temple
at Jerusalem, etc. We need to be &#6684777;lled with spiritual hospitality!
"The Bible says, 'Let your light so shine before men, that they may
see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.' Mat
thew 5:16. You cannot make your light shine, but you can let it shine.
G. C. Sloan said, in his annual address in Pennsylvania, ' ... if we aren't
careful we might bashful ours e 1 v e s completely out of the rapture.'
The same God that formed the world and sent His Son to die for our
sins is well able to work out our problems and &#6684777;ll our house with the
Spirit of the living God!"
Brother Matthews asked all that needed something from God to stand
up in their pews. The Spirit of God moved mightily, and hundreds re
ceived what they desired from God. The altar was &#6684777;lled with seekers
and organ music was furnished by Darel Talbott.
Monday, September 16

liam Wendt. Congregational songs, prayer for the business of the Assem
bly, special songs, and testimonies. Dismissed at 6:55.

Gilmer organist. Elmer Gilbert read Acts 20:27-32. Charles Collins prayed,
followed by concert prayer.
9:05 Will the Church Be Ready When Jesus Comes the Second Time?
-message by E. H. Griffith, Field Secretary. Excerpts:
"Jesus said, 'I am Alpha and Omega .. .' Revelation 1:8. Alpha is the
&#6684777;rst letter in the Greek alphabet and Omega is the last. Jesus insti
tuted the Church. He was the beginning in this, and He will &#6684777;nish that
which He started. I believe the Word of God is true, and I believe that
it will be ful&#6684777;lled at the proper time. ' ... The zeal of the Lord of hosts
will perform this.' Isaiah 9:7. I feel the zeal in this Assembly.
"For example-Exodus 12:41; 13:18, 19-when the proper time came,
the children of Israel were led out of Egypt like the Lord had said. Just
as other things were ful&#6684777;lled at the proper time, so will those things in
the New Testament regarding the Church be ful&#6684777;lled at the appointed
time. When they moved out of Egypt, they were not hindered. Like
wise, the Church will be well organized and ready for the journey.
"God said to Noah, 'But with thee will I establish my covenant; and
thou shalt come into the ark, thou, and thy sons, and thy wife, and thy
sons' wives with thee.' Genesis 6:18. The ark was completed and every
thing ful&#6684777;lled as God said. God promised the land of Canaan to Abra
ham ( Genesis 17:8), and as God ordained, so it happened!
"'Cast not away therefore your con&#6684777;dence, which hath great recom
pence of reward. For ye have need of patience, that, after ye have done
the will of God, ye might receive the promise.' Hebrews 10:35, 36. The
writer says, 'hold your con&#6684777;dence.' Do you still have con&#6684777;dence in the
Church covenant? If we don't have con&#6684777;dence in the Church, it won't
be ready. The Church is to make herself ready. Did you ever hear of
a bridegroom going over to dress the bride? The Church will not be ready
without con&#6684777;dence in God's plan. When we have done the will of God, He
will do His part. We have need of patience!
"An individual may be ready to meet the Lord, but the Church as a
whole is not ready now. God's ·plan can't be perfect until the Church
&#6684777;nishes its work. 'And these all, having obtained a good report through
faith, received not the promise: God having provided some better thing
for us, that they without us should not be made perfect.' Hebrews 11:39,
40. In Christ, all things are to be ful&#6684777;lled-this is God's plan. For a plan
to be perfect, it must be completed; it must be &#6684777;nished. All things must
be ful&#6684777;lled in Christ. In order for the early Church to be made perfect, we
will have to present &#7602280;e &#6684777;nished product, the Church, to Christ without
spot or wrinkle.

104 MINUTES OF THE 63RD ANNUAL ASSEMBLY
"In Revelation 1:1, 2, John received a revelation and he suffered for
us to have this message. They couldn't kill him, because he had to &#6684777;n
ish his work. The Church will &#6684777;nish its work too. 'Let us be glad and re
joice, and give honour to him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come,
and his wife hath made herself ready.' Revelation 19:7. If you believe
that individuals will be ready to meet the Lord, the Church will be
ready!"
9:40 Songs by Hawaiian Singers, directed by Foster Bell. Pecolia Melvin
sang "The Church of God Is Real.''

visiting radio stations and participating in district rallies, from which the
Voice of Salvation was scheduled on several radio stations.

Puerto Limon, Costa Rica, where we have had two hours broadcast time

Prepared sermons for the Voice of Salvation, except those delivered
by the General Overseer. Sermons by the Voice of Salvation Radio Min
ister were duplicated and preached more than 9,000 times over radio sta
tions. Answered Voice of Salvation mail; a great number of letters con
tained inquiries concerning doctrine and the Church. These inquiries
demonstrate the value of the radio in the propagation of the Church's
message.
I conducted several Voice of Salvation-related revivals, attended the
National Sunday School Convention in Minneapolis, assisted the Super
intendent with Bible Training Camp in South Africa, assisted the Over
seer of Colorado with a state-wide seminar for his pastors, and conducted
district Voice of Salvation rallies in several states.
A new book, Eternal Questions, by the Radio Minister is now avail
able for purchase. Through the Voice of Salvation, we distributed 1,411
units of the Body of Christ correspondence course. Certi&#6684777;cates of completion
were given to 102 people. Of the mail received this year, 60 per cent
came from people outside the Church; we received a good number of
testimonies of salvation and healing.

Served as Chairman of the Board for Tomlinson College and conducted
one revival with the Tomlinson College Chorale. The Youth Life publi
cation was assigned to me by the White Wing Publishing House this year and
I have served as acting editor, in addition to writing regularly for it.
The headquarters plane continues to serve the Church and the Gen
eral Overseer in an efficient and effective manner. As headquarters pilot,
I logged over 250 hours of flight in transportation of the General Over
seer and other headquarters personnel.
The role of radio is dynamically affecting our world. Transistor radios
swinging from the necks of camel caravans moving. through Arabia,
hanging to the horns of plowing oxen in Costa Rica, or held in the hands
of a teen-ager demonstrate the universal and far-reaching scope of this
medium of communication. The Church must continue to expand and
explore full possibilities of its outreach.
The detail and mechanics of the office were expertly handled by Judy
Chandler, secretary to the Radio Minister.

World Mission Committee Report
To the 63rd annual Assembly of the Church of God, Greetings:
This Assembly year has been one of victory for our work on the mission
&#6684777;elds of other countries. In addition to the growth of our mission work &#6684777;nan
cially, numerically, and spiritually, this Committee is very grateful for the
increased interest that the Church, as a whole, is demonstrating in behalf
of missions. This growing compassion for souls is shown by the results
of World Mission drives in October and March. These drives resulted in
$70,791.73, an increase of $15,176.11 over last year's offering. The re
sponse to the convention offering has also been wonderful. We feel that
participation by every church will result in continued growth of mission
funds to enable the Church to spread into new countries.
New work has been established this year in Venezuela and Thailand.
The World Harvest funds continue to grow through your contributions:

they were given.

It has been my privilege to travel into 39 countries this year on be
half of the mission work. I was Representative to 14 national con
ventions and 5 ministers conventions. One of these tours was an around
the-world trip with the General Overseer. This jou&#7471214;ey was an inspira
tion to me and those who were privileged to see and hear the General
Overseer will treasure that moment always. Our Church work is tak
ing on new strength in many parts of the world and new opportu&#7209065;ties
are opening for the Church in several countries. I appreciate the won
derful way our people have shouldered the responsibility of missions by
backing the program with their support. For this reason, we were able
to reach two new &#6684777;elds this year-Venezuela and Thailand. I commend
our mission &#6684777;elds that are entering into our &#6684777;nancial program which adds
substantially to the spread of the last day's message.
I have written a monthly letter to each overseer outside the United
States besides the regular correspondence. I have prepared messages for
each Mission Cry and also prepared material for the March and October
Mission Drives. I have served as Chairman of the Youth Mission Board.
I value highly &#7602280;e skilled assistance and untiring efforts of my private
secretary and office manager, Nellie Walker; also, Cheryl Malone who has
worked faithfully in the Department.

10:48 Report of Committee No. !&#2949246;uestions and Subjects. The report
was accepted as read.
Questions and Subjects Committee Report
To the 63rd annual Assembly, Greetings:
We, your Questions and Subjects Committee, after much prayer and
careful consideration to each matter brought before us, submit the following
report.
SECTION 1
Because Bible Train&#6881390;g Camp has developed into a gigantic institution
consisting of various phases of Bible training, the name is adjudged no
longer suitable. We recommend that the name be changed to "Bible &#5505138;ain
ing Institute," which will include the present program of Bible training
and any o&#7602280;er additions.
SECTION 2
• In ·the General Overseer's Annual Address under the heading "Bible
Training Department," he stated that a need for more ·pastoral &#7602290;aining
was evident. He encouraged providing opportunities for the pastors to
receive training under the authorization of the Assembly for a pastoral
training program and it seems wise that the Assembly give official back
ing and approval to a uni&#6684777;ed plan of approach and procedure. Th&#6619250;e
fore, the Committee recommends that officially controlled pastoral sem
inars be approved, lesson material be prepared, seminars be promoted and
directed by the Church's official institution of Bible &#7602290;ai&#7209065;ng.
Before deciding on the location for a proposed pastor's seminar, .. &#7602280;e
approval of &#7602280;e overseer of the state should be obtained by those responsibl�.

'116 MINUTES OF THE 63RD ANNUAL ASSEMBLY
SECTION 3
The General Overseer suggested, in his A&#7209070;ual Address, that a plan for
teacher certi&#6684777;cation be presented to this Assembly for consideration. More
time is needed and the Committee recommends that the matter be held
over until another year for further study and careful consideration.
SECTION 4
We suggest that this Assembly approve the training program for Sun
day school superintendents and teachers, as described by the General
Overseer in his Address, which is now being developed by the Sunday
School Department.
SECTION 5
This Committee agrees that it is good business and in the best interest
of the Church to have committee action on the appropriations and ex
penditures of depar&#7602285;ental funds. Therefore, we recommend that the
General Overseer appoint a committee for each of the departments not
functioning in this manner: The Radio Depar&#7602285;ent and Bible Training
Department. We suggest, if it seems good to the General Overseer, that
these committees be formed in the following manner: Radio Department
Committee-the General Overseer, Radio Department Manager, Radio Min
ister, Announcer, and Minister of Music; Bible Training Department
the General Overseer, Bible Training Institute Superintendent and Prin
cipal, General Treasurer, and World Mission Secretary.
Budgets may be submitted to each of these committees for their con
sideration by the departmental heads.
SECTION 6
Because of the Advice To Members in the Assembly Minutes, the in
structions to ministers regarding the performing of marriage ceremonies
apparently discourages full investigation into the facts of each case. This
has been known to result in considerable loss to the Church of the fam
ilies involved.
Therefore, this Committee recommends that the ministers be privileged
to investigate and determine the facts of each case when requested to
officiate and that the reading in the .. Advice To Members be changed
from, "Members should never marry sinners. Great care should be taken,
with much prayer and careful consideration, regardipg matrimony"; to,
"Because of the ever-increasing number of broken ·homes, separations,
divorces and remarriages, the • greatest of care should be taken with
much prayer and careful consideration regarding proposed matrimony."
The Committee also recommends that the Advice To Ministers which
reads, "Never join a member of the Church of God of Prophecy in mar
riage to a sinner. This is in compliance with the advice given to mem
bers in the Assembly Minutes"; be changed to, "Marriage ceremonies
should be performed in harmony with the teachings of the Bible and the
advice given to members in the Assembly Minutes. If, in some cases, the
minister needs additional advice, he may consult the General Overseer."
SECTION 7
. We recommend that the Duties of the District Overseer, which appear
_each year in the Assembly Minutes, be revised to read:

MINUTES OF THE 63RD ANNUAL ASSEMBLY 117
Duties of District Overseers
The district overseers are to be appointed by the state overseer.
To moderate business conferences for women preachers who may be
acting as pastors, and for men who may not be licensed if they are tak
ing care of churches in his district.
To do evangelistic work in his district if he has time. If he has a dis
trict with no churches, it is his duty to evangelize and organize churches.
To hold district conventions according to the instructions of the state
overseer.
To assist the state overseer when called upon in all things reiating to
church work and the district overseer is subject to the state overseer.
SECTION 8
We respectfully suggest that from now until our new Assembly tab
ernacle is made available, which is to be constructed on our 41-acre tract
of land on Keith Street By-pass, Cleveland, Tennessee, that the General
Overseer, in conjunction with the World Headquarters Construction Com
mittee, be responsible to see that provisions are made for the annual
assemblies.
We sincerely urge that every general worker, state or territorial over
seer, district overseer, pastor, evangelist, state auxiliary secretary, aux
iliary leader and member show their love and devotion to the Lord and
His Church by giving unreservedly their support to fund-raising plans
which are adopted by this Assembly for tabernacle construction.
Question:
Would it help for local church auxiliary leaders to be appointed soon
after the beginning of the pastor's new year?
Answer:
The Committee believes that it is better to continue our present prac
tice: that the pastor, as soon as possible after the Assembly, appoint the
local church auxiliary leaders to serve for the entire Assembly year.
Question:
Should a minister in the Church ever give Communion without follow
ing it with Feet Washing? If so, under what circumstances should this
be done?
Answer:
The practice is for Feet Washing to always follow Communion when
possible.

General Properties Committee Report
To the 63rd annual Assembly of the Church of God, Greetings:
This Committee has met a number of times during the past year, and
has satisfactorily discharged its duty pertaining to all matters of business
brought before it.
Immediately following the 62nd annual Assembly, we met and set in
motion the recommendation of that Assembly that the 41-acre tract of
land on the Keith Street By-pass be purchased for the purpose of rel&#7274595;at
ing our General Headquarters buildings, with a new White Wing &#5242997;b
lishing House as the &#6684777;rst project. We have worked harmoniously through
out the year with the World Headquarters Construction Committ&#6619237; on
this project.
Approximately one acre of: the north extremity of the World Head
quarters property on Keith Street was sold to the North Cleveland Church,
on which they are now erecting a local church building.

MINUTES OF THE 63RD ANNUAL ASSEMBLY 119
The Inman Street property has been made available for sale.
A new World Headquarters sign was approved and constructed in front
of the World Capitol Building at Bible Place.
All general property has been maintained and kept in good condition.
All other matters of business pertaini&#7209063; to legal consents for the pur
chase, sale, and mortgaging of state, national, or local properties in vari
ous parts of the world have been disposed of properly.
We humbly thank the Lord for His direction in helping us to transact
all business in harmony and love.

11:33 Report of World Headquarters Construction Committee. The re

World Headquarters Construction Committee
Report
To the 63rd annual Assembly of the Church of, God, Greetings:
The 62nd annual Assembly approved a recommendation of the Ques
tions and Subjects Committee as follows: "We suggest that a committee
composed of the General Properties Committee and two or more others
appointed by the General Overseer be in charge of the building program
on the new 41-acre tract and proceed with the construction as funds
can be made available. This Committee would be called the World Head
quarters Construction Committee."
Soon after the 62nd Assembly, the General Overseer called the Com
mittee together for its &#6684777;rst meeting. It has worked in conjunction with
the General Properties Committee throughout the year in a harmonious
manner.
In the &#6684777;rst meeting, four of the committeemen were selected to rep
resent the Committee and to proceed with all matters which did not ca&#7077996;
for new decisions, thereby making it unnecessary to call the Co&#7143533;ittee
together so frequently. This plan has proven highly satisfactory. The en
tire Committee has met several times to take up and dispose of business
requiring major decisions.
The major concern this year has been the initial project as recommend
ed by &#7602280;e last Assembly-the construction of a new White Wing Publish
ing House. Harrison Gill and Associates was given the con&#7602290;act for the
architectural work. In process of time, the building contract was let to
Collins and Hobbs, Contractors. Groundbreaking ceremonies were con-

120 MINUTES OF THE 63RD ANNUAL ASSEMBLY
ducted on April 1, 1968, and the construction began soon thereafter. Dur
ing the year, there have been various meetings with the architect and
the contractor, pertaining to the work on the new publishing house structure.
There have been a number of meetings with speci&#6684777;c respect to the pro
posed Assembly tabernacle, which is to be the next project. A number
of large buildings (auditoriums, etc.) have been inspected and reviewed
in an effort to reach a wise and acceptable conclusion as to the type of
structure that would best serve our purpose in the housing of our annual
assemblies. Various &#6684777;nancial plans have also been studied relative to the
tabe&#7471214;acle project. Considerable progress has been made in this direc
tion. However, the Committee now awaits further action by the Assem
bly concerning the matter of &#6684777;nance and the date to proceed with the
actual construction processes.

I sponsored the International Prayer Chain through posters; letters, and
prayer reminders. This Prayer Chain is now two years old and has a
total membership of 825; tried to be of assistance to the Church by writ

the occasion arose; prepared some Bible Training Camp lessons and taught in

I express my appreciation to the CPMA Committee, to every CPMA
member and contributor for the efforts of keeping Fields of the Wood

1968, we have had 146 chartered buses, 4 motorcycle clubs, 3 family re
unions, and several thousand automobiles, making this Assembly year one
of the largest in attendance at Fields of the Wood.
We have rebuilt and repaired 13 of the Church teaching markers, the
Beatitudes and Lord's Prayer markers, 3 of the auxiliary markers, the

our equipment; bought a pick-up truck, sold one dozier and some old

Wood and by another Assembly it will be possible to land small planes
there. We have obtained two small tracts of land which border Fields
of the Wood in much needed areas.
A special "thank you" to my wife, • the caretaker and his wife, and

Church Boosters Committee Report
To the 63rd annual Assembly, Greetings:
We, your Church Boosters Committee, after prayer and consideration,
submit our report:
We honor God and our esteemed General Overseer for the splendid Ad
dress to this Assembly. Let us give him a standing ovation.
J. P. Sullivan, former chairman of this Committee, is ill and unable to
be with us; he needs our ea&#7471214;est prayers.
TEACHING MINISTRY
This Committee encourages full participation in the views of our Gen
eral Overseer, and this can be accomplished through much prayer, study,
and diligence. Substantial progress has been made, and God will con
tinue to guide.
The Questions and Subjects Committee very capably handled this sub
ject, and our people should support the recommendations. We must study
the course "Called to Teach" and any other which our Sunday School

132 MINUTES OF THE 63RD ANNUAL. ASSEMBLY
Department will provide. Overseers, pastors, and superintendents should
give priority to this type of preparation. We believe this will aid in
making all men see and to observe all things as the Church has been com
missioned to do. Many have awaited the opportunity of being enlight
ened-by "The Teaching Ministry."
THE EVANGELISTIC EFFORT
Since revival in the Church is the lifeline of the Church, and without
it we die, we highly endorse that each pastor strive for every member
to be baptized with the Holy Ghost, full of the Spirit (Ephesians 5:8),
led by the Spirit, and to enjoy great depths of spirituality.
Each local church should cooperate with the General Overseer in the
second World-wide revival campaign scheduled for April 6-May 25, 1969.
The theme is SPIRITUAL CONQUEST. Begin now fasting and pray
ing until God opens the windows of heaven and floods us with revival,
power and glory. Joel 2:28.
Every pastor is encouraged to involve every member in a personal wit
_nessing program helping to ful&#6684777;ll the Great Commission in Matthew 28:19,
20. Precedent for this was set by the early Church as recorded in Acts
5:42 and Acts 20:20. God give us 20/20 vision, Acts 20:20. Let us go
where the sinners are.
BIBLE TRAINING DEPARTMENT
Bible Training Camp • has accomplished much, and the Bible Training
Institute will continue the good work of establishing our ministers and
members in the doctrine of the Church of God. Each member is encour
aged to support this Institute &#6684777;nancially and in attendance. Our doc
trine came from God by Jesus Christ, and it is our duty to get it to all the
world. Bible Training Institute will assist in getting this done.
THE PROPOSED ASSEMBLY TABERNACLE
This Committee highly endorses the portion of the General Overseer's
Annual Address conce&#7471214;ing a proposed tabe&#7471214;acle. Pastors, members, and
friends will rally to this great need. Everyone must do his best if this
is realized. We can all have a part in this project for God and His Church.
Can we in unity say, "It is time to rise up and build?" By us all do
ing our best, the dream of a new tabernacle will become a reality very
soon. Come on Church of God members, and God will help us to meet
the &#6684777;nancial demand for a new tabernacle.
PUBLISHING DEPARTMENT
The publications in any country greatly affect its citizens. It has been
proven that they influence what people buy, how they dress, and how
they believe and act. Our Publishing Department has done wonderful,
but there is an increasing demand for more publications of literature that
will glorify God and cause people to t&#7471331; from evil. Prayerfully and
&#6684777;nancially we can support our new publishing house by supplying facili
ties whereby thousands of souls can be reached through this medium.
Commendation to all who have made improvements in our publications
and to those who have given support.
CHURCH OF GOD DOCTRINE IN OTHER LANGUAGES
This Committee joins the General Overseer in recognizing the dire need
of doctrinizing our people so that these scriptures will be ful&#6684777;lled: Isaiah

MINU&#4522151; OF THE 63RD ANNUAL ASSEMBLY 133
52:8; 1 Corinthians 1:10; Philippians 3:16. Since our aim of getting souls
saved is Church centered, it will take a systematic organization and co
operation of a&#7077996; our people.
Thank God for His presence, His Son, and His Holy Ghost in this As
sembly. All of us have been spiritually blessed so that we are more able
for our future work.

12:30 Report of Committee No. &#6357082;Ways and Means. The report was
accepted as read.
Ways and Means Committee Report
To the 63rd annual Assembly, Greetings:
We, your Ways and Means Committee, are &#6750322;ateful to God for His provi
dence in the gover&#7209069;ent and its operation in the Church of God, for our Gen
eral Overseer and for his outstanding Address to• this Assembly. After
careful and prayerful deliberation, we submit the following report:
SECTION 1
Since the Assembly has left the decision to the Executive Committee
(composed of the General Overseer, General Treasurer and. Manager of
the White Wing Publishing House) to determine the incidental expenses in
curred by the general workers, and inasmuch as there is a set amount
by the gove&#7209183;ent for an executive worker to receive, we recommend
that this matter be left to the Executive Committee to act as circum&#2555949;
stances may necessitate.
Question: Should the Executive Committee be authorized to appr&#6619198;ve
&#6684777;nancial assistance to. a minister under the appointment of &#7602280;e General
Overseer who may become unable to continue service and a replacement
is necessary?.
Answe&#7471149;: With reference to this question, we r&#6619235;ommend· that this mat
ter be left to the discretion of the Executive Co&#7143533;ittee.
SECTION 2
1. We recommend that the Editor and Publisher of the White Wing Mes
senger be paid $150.00 per week and incidental expenses plus any and
all personal necessities. We further reco&#7143533;end that all general work
ers appointed by the General Overseer receive an allotment of $129.00 a
week, if funds are available; and that the question of pay for incidental
expenses incurred by these general workers be le&#3014758;t to the discretion of
the Executive Committee.

134 MINUTES OF THE 63RD ANNUAL ASSEMBLY
We recommend that a sum of $150.00 received each month by the
general headquarters workers and the state overseers appointed by the
General Overseer be designated for rent and utilities. Should the rent
and utilities be under the above amount, the remaining amount would
be included as income. Where this ruling is feasible, this is also ap
plicable to the pastors and full-time evangelists.
2. We recommend that the state overseers receive an allotment of $129.00
a week, if funds are available. For his office expense, the overseer may
receive the sum of $200.00 a month from the surplus tithes in his state,
if funds are available. Funds in excess, after the overseer has received
his allotment from the tithes received from the local churches, shall be sent
to the state treasurer for the purpose of the state work, especially to help
pastors of weaker churches.
We recommend the continuance of the SOFA and encourage everyone
to stand by your state overseer with your SOFA offerings. Should there
not be sufficient SOPA funds to cover his expense as overseer, it is
recommended that the surplus tithes, if there be any, be used to sup
plement the expense of the overseer.
3. The &#6684777;rst part of this section-Evangelistic Financial Assistance-was
held over &#7667822;til next year.
We recommend that the state overseer and the state &#6684777;nance and ap
propriations committee give earnest consideration to this matter, there
by working out a plan for their substantial assistance. Commendations
are extended to those states whose overseers and &#6684777;nance and appropria
tions committees are using state funds to help weak churches, needy
pastors, and new &#6684777;elds.
We recommend that the pastor receive an amount not to exceed
$129.00 a week from the tithes of the local church after General Head
quarters and the state overseers have received their portions, if funds
are available. This does not include offerings and poundings received by
the pastor.
4. This Committee is in profound concern and sympathy with the opera
tion of our local churches and the heavy &#6684777;nancial responsibilities which
they face. With reference to this knowledge, we refer to the &#6684777;nancial
system as recorded in the Assembly Minutes which says, "The tithes are
for the support of the ministry only."
This Committee wishes to draw your attention to the fact that it does
not say "of ministers only"; rather, "of the ministry only." "Ministry"
is de&#6684777;ned as the office, duties or functions of a minister; the building
in which the business of a ministry is transacted; thus, the ministry in
cludes any and all phases of the church ministry, such as all church
property, equipment, maintenance, etc.
5. Surplus tithes accruing in any local church is left in the local church
treasury until August 31st, at which time it is properly divided into three
equal parts: one part is sent to the General Treasurer to be used at
the discretion of the Executive Committee; one part is sent to the state
treasurer to be used at the discretion of the state &#6684777;nance and appropria
tions committee; one part is left in the l&#7274595;al church to be used at the
discretion of the pastor and local church committee, appointed by the
pastor.
6. We recommend that the practice of receiving an offering on the &#6684777;rst
Sunday of each month for the pastor and on the third Sunday of each

MINUTES OF THE 63RD ANNUAL ASSEMBLY 135
month for the district overseer (in those states using district overseers)
be continued. If the district overseer is requested by the state overseer to
perform a duty involving considerable expense, the state overseer will
be responsible for such expense.
SECTION 3
We, your Ways and Means Committee, do heartily endorse that portion
of the General Overseer's Annual Address entitled "Greater Evangelistic
Efforts Imperative." We feel that an evangelist devoting full time to the
work of evangelism should receive a reasonable support &#6684786;om the ministry.
This Committee recommends that a fund be provided for the evangelist
by the local church in advance of the scheduled revival which would
provide the evangelist $15.00 for each night of revival if possible. &#5505128;is
fund would be prepared before the beginning date of the revival.
Once such a fund is built up, there should be no difficulty maintain
ing an adequate balance for future meetings. We suggest than an offer
ing be received each night as a "revival offering." These offerings should
be turned in to the local church treasurer earmarked as "revival offer
ings for the purpose of helping to support the next revival." Should
the revival offering fund not be sufficient, the nightly offerings could
be used to supplement the amount received by the evangelist up to the
amount of $15.00 each night. We further recommend that a love offering
be received each seventh night of the revival for that evangelist, in ad
dition to the regular $15.00 nightly offering.
Pastors of participating l&#7274595;al churches should notify the &#4653157;neral Head
quarters office in charge of evangelism of their willin&#6750318;ess to cooperate
in this program so that this effort may be properly correlated.
This is suggested as a voluntary plan to be practiced by all the local
churches who desire to do so. We believe this will be a boost to greater
evangelistic efforts.
The &#5701736;ite Wing Publishing House announces that a 10 per cent discount
will be given to licensed ministers on all cash merchandise orders, ex
cept church signs, flags and accessories. This includes licensed evan
gelists' printing supplies such as business calling cards, stationery, etc.
To be eligible for &#7602280;is discount, you note on all orders that you are a
licensed minister. This does not. include lay ministers. All orders will
be plus postage.
SECTION 4
As of this 63rd annual Assembly, this Committee is aware of the awe
some responsibility confronting the Church as a result of the disastrous
&#6684777;re which destroyed our White Wing Publishing House February, 1967.
The Business Manager and other responsible personnel are to be com
mended for their courageous and untiring efforts resulting in the con
tinuation of our printing supplies which are being met on schedule.
Two decades ago the Victory Leaders of the Church of God were chal
lenged by &#7602280;e construction and furnishing of our Publishing House lo
cated on Central Avenue. This challenge was accepted. Those partici
pating were victorious because of &#7602280;eir eager willingness, sacri&#6684777;cial work
and the help of the Lord.

136 MINUTES OF THE 63RD ANNUAL ASSEMBLY
Now another great need presents itself to the Victory Leaders. It is
helping to &#6684777;nance our NEW Publishing House on Keith Street By-pass.
It is rather encouraging to report that this building is in full course of
construction which is expected to be completed for occupancy early in
the next calendar year.
A bank loan is being negotiated for $300,000.00 with an interest rate of
6 per cent. (The current rate is 6½ and 7 per cent.) &#5505128;e annual payment
of this loan is $45,720.00.
After exploring several suggested avenues of &#6684777;nancing possibilities, we,
your Ways and Means Committee, wish to submit. the following three
point proposal:
1. We challenge the Gleaners and Victory Leaders around the world
for an annual contribution of a minimum of $18,750.00 over a five-year
term. Each gleaner and victory leader is asked to participate by vol
untarily contributing $2.00 a year for a &#6684777;ve-year period totaling $10.00
for the period. Larger contributions would be graciously accepted.
Those outside the continental United States could participate with con
tributions in -their native currency, an amount in keeping with economic
conditions of their ·country as furnished by the World &#5046377;ssion Depart
ment. We suggest that the General, national and state Victory &#4980837;aders
Band secretaries encourage the execution of this plan through correspond
ence and promotional materials.
Each victory leader and gleaner who contributes $2.00 would receive a
certificate signed by the General Secretary, state secretary and local lead
er. There will . be two certificates awarded to each victory leader who
participates for the full five-year period. The &#6684777;rst certi&#6684777;cate will be
5 x 7 inches in �ize. Those participating the second, third and fourth years
will receive.··a gummed sticker with the number on it which will ac
knowledge the participating year.
On the fifth year of this plan a larger certificate sized 8½ x 10¾
inches will be awarded to those who have contributed each of the &#6684777;ve
years. This certificate would be signed by the General Overseer, General
Secretary and state overseer. This &#6684777;fth-year certi&#6684777;cate will be awarded
at the General Assembly.
2. An amount of $12,300.00 could be appropriated through the White
Wing Publishing House.

MINU&#4522151; OF THE 63RD &#4259918;NUAL ASSEMBLY 137
3. The White Wing Publishing House will continue its OUTREACH
program, which is a fund-raising rally day that could be projected in
the month of June each year of the &#6684777;ve years. (We applaud OUTREACH
'68, which realized receipts of $15,000.00.)
SECTION 5
We recommend that the Emergency Fund be continued and that each
member pay $1.00 into the fund annually and that the present system of
collecting emergency dollars be continued. We further recommend that
since these funds are urgently needed, each local church collect these
dollars in full as soon as possible and send them as collected with the
local church clerk's mon&#7602280;ly report to the General Treasurer.
SECTION 6
Your Ways and Means Committee highly endorses the printing of the
Church of God doctrine in other languages as expressed in the General
Overseer's Annual Address.
We recommend that sufficient amount of the general funds be used to
pay for the &#6684777;rst reprinting of tracts from the translations which were
salvaged from the White Wing Publishing House &#6684777;re of February, 1967,
and new translations and the &#6684777;rst printing of each in order for the de
mands to be met more quickly. Those that are most urgent can be print
ed &#6684777;rst.
We therefore recommend that the amount to be used for this work be
left to the discretion of the Executive Committee.
SECTION 7
With reference to all of the other sections as printed in the Minutes,
we recommend that the same plan be continued as practiced during the
past year, namely:
1. We, your Ways and Means Committee, reco.mmend that the allot
ments of overseers outside the United States continue to be set by the
World Mission Committee according to the economic and monetary sys
tems of the different countries involved and that these amounts be print
ed in the Minutes as a supplement to the Ways and Means Committee
report. We also recommend that the &#6684777;nancial system of the Church be
compiled according to the economic conditions of the various countries
listing all fees and amounts of dues, etc., involving the different auxili
aries and the various departments of the Church and be sent to the over
seers and pastors of the churches in the territori&#6619251; involved. It is felt
by this Committee that the churches outside the United States must be
as well informed concerning the financial system of the Church as those
in the United States since we are only one Church.
Since the Church is world-wide, there should be no difference shown
between an overseer outside the United States who is a member of the
presbytery and one in the United States; therefore, this Committee recom
mends that where our international banking system is adopted the over
seer come under the tithe system reporting the amount of tithes received
from his churches to the General Overseer on the special report form,
and when necessary the allotment be supplemented from the general tithes
of each respective country or territory.

138 MINUTES OF THE 63RD ANNUAL ASSEMBLY
When there is not sufficient tithes to cover the allotments, we then
recommend that the remaining portion be supplied by the Mission De
partment, if funds are available. It is the feeling of this Committee that
each overseer should receive an allotment in the currency of the country
or the territory he represents in keeping with the economic conditions
of that country.
2. We recommend that $100 be contributed from the general funds for
each $100.00 contributed from the state funds for the purpose of open
ing up new &#6684777;elds, and that the amount for any one state be limited to
$500.00. In case a state has no funds for this purpose and desires help
from General Headquarters to open a new &#6684777;eld, the General Overseer
and the General Treasurer may use their discretion in assisting in such
cases. In case a work started in a new &#6684777;eld, a loan up to the amount of
$100 may be obtained from the general funds on a down payment for a
lot on which to build a church.
3. We recommend that the plan of each member giving a love offering
each month to increase the fourth Sunday offering for the state over
seer be continued, and that the pastor and band leaders see to it that this
plan be carried out in all churches 100 per cent.
4. We recommend that all Victory Leaders Band, Sunday School, Mis
sion, Church of Prophecy Marker Association, &#5701736;ite Wing Publishing
House, Orphanage, and Bible Training Institute tithes be placed in the
General Tithe Fund.
5. We recommend that 10 per cent of the tithes received each month by
the local church treasurer be sent with his report to the General Treas
urer and that the same amount be sent to the state overseer.
6. We recommend that the tithes of non-members that are paid into the
local treasury should be executed through the regular channel the same
as tithes of members.
7. We recommend that all ministers and churches observe the ruling
of the Assembly with reference to the use of the tithe money: "The tithes
are for the support of the ministry only."
8. We recommend that 20 per cent of the state Womens Missionary
Band, Victory Leaders Band, Sunday School, and Church of Prophecy
Marker Association convention offerings be left in the state treasury for
the purpose of state work.
9. We recommend that each overseer see to it that all state convention
offerings raised in his state be executed only as authorized by the Assembly.
10. We recommend that in case of any additional general workers
being appointed by the General Overseer, their allotments be determined
by the Executive Committee.
11. We recommend that if there should be a de&#6684777;cit incurred in printing
and mailing the White Wing Messenger, such de&#6684777;cit be paid from the
General &#4587637;nd.
SECTION 8
This Committee is in agreement with the portion of the General Over
seer's Address entitled "Our Proposed Assembly Tabernacle." He said, "It
is realized that our people desire a new tabern&#10747994;cle that will accommo-

MINUTES OF THE 63RD ANNUAL ASSEMBLY 139
date everyone comfortably. I can assure you that the World Headquarters
Construction Committee has not been negligent concerning this matter.
It is a great undertaking and demands careful planning. The prob
lems must be solved in a way that will insure us a durable building.
Becoming overanxious could cost us thousands of dollars, and could re
sult in an unsatisfactory structure . . .
"A two-million-dollar project might seem impossible, but should not
be discouraging. It will require patience and faith, even when the evi
dence is not seen; a mutual con&#6684777;dence by the members that the Com
mittee in charge is acting in wisdom for the good of all ...
"It will be advantageous to have a portion of the cost of the tabe&#7471214;acle
.available before the construction begins."
Our General Overseer seems to favor the idea of accumulating funds
-during the next few years rather than pay such an amount of extra
ordinary interest.
In planning such an edi&#6684777;ce, we shall be dealing with a tentative &#6684777;gure
of some two-million dollars. The present interest rate is 7 . per cent.
Since there are other existing commitments of expenditures, thi&#3473454; Com
mittee is in agreement that a substantial amount of these necessary funds
be received in advance of construction. The big question is HOW?
If we are to be successful in the erection of this colossal structure, there
must be a colossal effort put forth in this behalf to such an extent &#7602280;at
every area of the global operation of the Church will feel the effects of
it. With reference to the building of Solomon's temple, every subject
had a part in that great project. So must each of us put our shoulder to
the load and push with all our might in order to get the work accom
plished.
Because our local churches are heavily loaded with numerous budgets
and various &#6684777;nancial requests, this Committee agrees that some • other
monetary avenue must be pursued in order to reach our goal.
After much prayer and deliberation we conclude that it would be best
to seek some possibilities for revenues through mediums which already
exist rather than presenting some new and complicated tactics which might
become bogged down with gracious intentions and empty balances.
Since the tabernacle will stand as a monumental marker, and the
Church of Prophecy Marker Association Department is promoting the
marking program of the Church, we, your Ways and Means Committee,
recommend that the CPMA spearhead our tabernacle project, as a great
marker of the Church of God, with a considerable portion of &#6684777;nancial
assistance which is not meant to hinder the existing projects of this De
partment. Portions of other funds are to be used to help supplement the
Tabernacle Fund.
We therefore recommend that the following portions be designated as
Tabe&#7471214;acle Fund:
1. Not less than 50 per cent of CPMA memberships each year
2. 50 per cent of the CPMA state convention offerings which presently
remains in the state treasury

140 MINUTES OF THE 63RD ANNUAL ASSEMBLY
3. 10 per cent of national and international accounts of Orphanage, Mis
sions, Ministerial Aid, and Bible Training Institute.
Because of the dire need of funds to proceed with this project, we rec&#7274605;
mend that each member continue to give one dollar a year to boost the
General Property Fund. This is known as General Property Dollars. Also
we invite volunteers to submit gifts and offerings. Any such contribu
tions would be tax free upon receipt from local church clerk and your
canceled check will serve as receipt.
Due to the great necessity at hand, we reco&#7143533;end that &#7602280;e fifth Sun
day in December be a special day for boosting and collecting General
Property Dollars. These dollars should be sent to the General Treasurer
with the local church clerk's December report or as soon as possible. We
refer to this day as General Property Sunday.
We reco&#7143533;end that the World Headquarters Construction Committee
be given opportunity to study, introduce and promote feasible plans that
would implement the advancement of our prejected building pro&#6750322;am.
We further recommend that this Committee receive and consider any and
all plans that may be presented by individuals pertaining to the financ
ing and development of our new headquarters complex.
Due to a· constant rising cost of building materials, labor and interest
rates, this Committee endorses the beginning of construction for this great
marker as soon as possible.
We recommend that all tabernacle receipts be placed in savings ac
counts until the proper time for construction.
Supplement To
Assembly Minutes, 62nd Annual Assembly
We recommend that the following be added to the "Present Financial
System of the Church of God of Prophecy."
Section 5. MISSION MONEY, paragraph 2, page 177 should read: "&#5505128;e
General Treasurer sends 10 per cent of &#7602280;e Assembly offering from
each state or country to the respective state or national treasurer for
the general state or national fund. The Ministerial Aid Fund receives 10
per cent of the mission money sent to the General Treasurer." Instead
of: "Ten per cent of the Assembly offering from each state is to be
sent to the respective state treasurer for the general state fund by the
General Treasurer. Ten per cent of the mission money received by the
General Treasurer is to be placed in the Ministerial Aid &#4587637;nd."
Section 9. VLB OFFERING, page 177 should read: "The White Wing
Publishing House sends 10 per cent of the Assembly offering from each
state or country to the respective state or national treasurer for the gen
eral state or national fund." Instead of: "Ten per cent of the Assembly
offering from each state is to be sent to the respective state treasurer for
the general state fund by the White Wing Publishing House."

World Must Be Evangelized
: It will take good organization and systematic methods to accomplish
this task.
• God's power is demonstrated in proportion to the unity and oneness of
His people.
The members of the early Church were all of one accord, steadfast
in the apostles' doctrine and fellowship, and the multitude 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 unity and care
ful organization.
We must banish from our minds the thoughts of individual or local in
dependence and haphazard spasmodic efforts.
Pull together, pull at once, pull steadily all the time is the road to
success.
All members should be 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 dwarfs the body until the matter
pending may fail.
Local Church Officers and Leaders
1. Pastor. It is the duty of the overseer appointed by the General
Overseer to see that every church under his jurisdiction is supplied wi&#7602280;
a pastor as much as lies in his power. Pastors are to be appointed at the
state convention, and vacancies will be &#6684777;lled as they. occur. The duties
of the pastor expire at midnight the last Sunday in July at the church
he is leaving and automatically begin at the same time at the church
to which he is moving.
2. Clerk. The clerk is to be selected in the last regular conference be
fore the Assembly to serve for one year. Either a man or woman may
serve as clerk and the same person may continue to serve year after year.
Care should be taken to choose a person quali&#6684777;ed for the position, as
the clerk is responsible to keep an accurate and careful record of the
business and work of the church, make a record and give date of organi
zation, record the name and date of every one that joins, the name
and date of each one excluded and for what cause, and keep a record
of deaths, giving date.
3. Treasurer. The treasurer should be selected in the same manner as
the clerk. It is advised that one person serve as both clerk and treas-

152 MINUTES OF THE 63RD ANNUAL ASSEMBLY
urer when it is -convenient and satisfactory to the local church. The
treasurer will receive and disburse all funds of the local church, includ
ing tithes, auxiliary funds and special funds. An accurate record of all
receipts and disbursements will be kept by the treasurer.
4. Auxiliary Leaders. Leaders for the &#6684777;ve auxiliaries, namely, Sunday
School, Womens Missionary Band, Victory Le&#3211313;ders Band, Church of Proph
ecy Marker Association, and the Assembly Band • Movement are to be
appointed by the pastor as soon as possible after the Assembly.
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 appoint a leader for each band. The leader should keep in touch
with each member of the band, and if any should move away, com
munication should be kept up by correspondence. This is for the mutual,
spiritual, temporal and social bene&#6684777;t of the members. The pastor should
keep in close touch with the band leaders in all the work.
5. Local Trustees. Trustees to hold title to local church property are
selected by the local church in a regular or called business meeting and
are authorized to bargain, buy, sell, convey or encumber the l&#7274595;al prop
erty only when authorized to do so by the local church in a regular or
called business meeting and with the written consent of the General
Trustees.
6. Other Officers and Leaders. The Assembly has authorized the pastor
to appoint a church literature representative as soon as possible after
the Assembly. In some local churches it has been the practice for the
pastor to also appoint a Bible Training Institute booster. The song lead
er, pianist, organist and ushers are selected by the local church in con
ference in the same manner as the clerk and treasurer. If it seems good
to the local church, &#7602280;e pastor may be authorized to appoint the song
leader, pianist, organist and ushers.
Business Meetings
Each l&#7274595;al church should hold a regular business conference once each
quarter. It has been the practice for many years to observe the &#6684777;rst
Monday night in January, April, July and October for the regular quar
terly meetings. If there is a demand for it, a meeting may be called at
any time by the pastor or state overseer. A short business meeting may
be held at the beginning or close of a meeting for worship.
The pastor should act as moderator of all business meetings. If there
is no pastor, the state overseer has authority to act or appoint a licensed
male minister to preside. Where one pastor has the care of several churches
he may arrange the business meetings to suit his convenience.
Every member, both male and female, should take an interest in and
make it a point to attend every business session if possible. Women are
to take no open part in discussing or deciding questions, but should al
ways be there and silently pray that God will give wisdom and direct
the men.
Matters should be discussed with love, humility and meekness. No
votes should be taken to decide questions. Everything should be done with
one accord and questions settled by ·mutual agreement. If there is di-

M&#6881358;UTES OF THE 63RD ANNUAL ASSEMBLY 153
vision on a matter, hold it over until all can· agree. If one should seem
obstinate and contrary, do not run the matter over him, but take up his
case and investigate the cause of his obstinacy and if he shows the good
spirit so that he can be heard, then show him courtesy. If he proves to
be wrong, deal with him as the Bible directs. After this, take up the
original subject and dispose of it in harmony and love.
In case a matter cannot be settled satisfactorily by the local church, they
should call for the assistance of the state overseer. If they are still not
able to reach a satisfactory conclusion, it should be referred to the Gen
eral Overseer.
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.
Arrangement and Order of Business
(This is only a suggestion and not meant for a rule.)
Moderator, clerk, treasurer should occupy seats on the platform. Deacons
and other ministers, seated near the platform.

154 MINUTES OF THE 63RD ANNUAL ASSEMBLY
Advice to Members
As -a member, you count one and should attend every regular service
as far as possible. Remember no one can &#6684777;ll your place and the service
will be that much dwarfed and crippled without your presence.
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 attend one of your services.
As a rule take part in the singing.
Be ready for v&#7274595;al 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 him in every way
you can.
Always pray silently for the preacher while he delivers the message.
Always live a consecrated life at home and abroad so no one can justly think
or speak of you as a hyp&#7274595;rite.
Guard your conversation. Be careful what you say about a brother, sis-
ter or anyone else.
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
possible family worship at 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, wearing dresses
of high-enough necklines, low-enough hemlines, sleeves of reasonable
length. The wearing of extremely sheer fabrics is unbec&#7274605;ing to a saint
and the wearing of shorts in public should never be practiced. You should
never wear gold for o&#7471214;ament or decoration. Finger rings, bracelets, ear
rings, necklaces, lockets and large showy pins-these are also unbecom
ing to a saint of God. Rouge, lipstick, nail polish and extremely costly
perfumes are used to satisfy the pride of life and therefore they should
have no place in the lives of those who love God. Please read and study
these scriptures often: 1 Peter 3:3, 4; 1 Timothy 2:9, 10 and 1 John 2:15-17.
You should not premit yourself to be frapped by worldly attractions.
The 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 the
aters, 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.

MINUTES OF THE 63RD ANNUAL ASSEMBLY 155
Always ti&#7602280;e your income and put it in the church treasury. Make free
will offerings beside your tithes.
Younger members should not keep company or associate too intimately
with worldly outsiders.
Because of the ever-increasing number of broken homes, separations,
divorces and remarriages, the greatest care should be taken with much
prayer and consideration regarding proposed matrimony.
A member who may have a living companion should not marry ano&#7602280;er
under any circumstances even if divorced. Neither should a member marry
anyone who has a living companion although such a person may be di
vorced.
Children are an heritage from the Lord. Those who have children are
responsible to teach them at an early age to reverence the house of
God. &#5505128;is should be done by setting a good example before them and
by instructing them with such a good spirit that they will have a strong
desire to serve the Lord. MINISTERS are to meet all of the require
ments in being examples to the members by keeping their children under
reasonable control at all times and by restraining them from running about
over the house of G&#6553755; es�ially 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 by every member and your interest
in advertising the Church should be so great that when you have &#6684777;n
ished reading your copy, you would pass it along to someone else. Every
member who possibly can should subscribe, and each minister is asked to
be a "paid-up" subscriber and an ea&#7471214;est worker for our church paper
the White Wing Messenger.
These are &#7602280;e last days and perilous times have come and it will re
quire much watchfulness and humble prayer for you 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 sisters in the Lord. Give no place to the adversary. Ab
stain from the very appearance of evil.
These kindly instructions and advices are given by those who are watch
ing for your soul as they 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.
