Prefatory Notes
When we think of the 65th Annual Assembly, we feel the same glad
ness that David felt: "I was glad when they said unto me, Let us go into
the house of the Lord." (Psalm 122:1)
For the second year, the Assembly was held in the Memorial Audi
torium in Chattanooga, Tennessee, pending the proposed construction of
a new Assembly Tabernacle in Cleveland. The registered attendance was
12,644, an increase of more than 500 over the 64th Assembly; making
us realize that we need our new, and larger, Tabernacle to accommodate
our delegates.
It was agreed that this was one of our greatest Assemblies. The pres
ence of the Lord was with us mightily, blessing from time to time with
outpourings of His Spirit, and )KX2\#Uin the transaction of our busi
ness. Great spiritual anointing was upon those who preached and di
rected the programs of the various departments. It is our prayer that
this same Spirit will abide with every local church around the world
throughout this Assembly year.
Everyone responsible for the smooth operation of this vast gathering
is to be commended. The entire Assembly was tape-recorded, and out
standing coverage was given by radio, television, and the newspapers.
Delegates attended from the 50 states, Bahamas, Brazil, Costa Rica, Can
ada, England, Haiti, Jamaica, Indonesia, Mexico, Ne&#7602280;erlands Antilles,
Peru, Puerto Rico, Virgin Islands, Leeward Islands, and Holland. A record
attendance was set at the Fields of the Wood Program, and many visited
our buildings and property at General Headquarters.
The next General Assembly of the Church of God will be September
7-13, 1971, in the Memorial Auditorium, Chattanooga, Tennessee.

the city. Mr. Thorogood stated that this was his twenty-third year to
attend the opening session of the Assembly. He spoke of the &#6750322;ow&#7602280; of
the Church-expansions and improvements-and stated that it had b&#6619237;n
a privilege to work with the Church in the different projects. (He pre-

8 MINUTES OF THE 65TH ANNUAL ASSEMBLY
sented a $1000 check to Tomlinson College the evening before.) Mr.
Taylor stated that the Assembly has always been one of the highlights
throughout his lifetime. He said that the number one project in Cleve
land this year is to build a municipal auditorium: "This-should be a
joint undertaking of the city and county government ... it is too big
a project to expect the Church of God of Prophecy to undertake ... the
taxpayers of the city of Cleveland and Bradley County should provide
the auditorium, not only for the Church of God of Prophecy, but for
all groups and organizations that need a place to meet." He extended an
invitation to visit "your" Merchants Bank.

of Glory," "Jesus Holds the Keys," "Only Trust Him," and "The Ban
ner of Love." The choir and Assembly sang "I Know Whom I Have Be
&#7077993;eved"; the Christens sang "There Is More to Life."· Jose Reyes, Span
ish Radio Minister, prayed. The Church in a World of Revolution&#2949229;es
sage by Harry Lee Moore, Radio Minister. Tex&#7602221;Ephesians 1:19-23. Ex
cerpts:
"The early Church ... exclaimed, 'Look what has come to the world.'
They saw· not merely the ruin of the world but the resources for the
reconstruction of that ruin. It was on that assuranc&#9568346;that Christ had
conquered sin and that the Church was indeed His Body here on earth
-&#7602280;at the pivot of history swung from blank despair and fatalism to
faith and hope for the future.
"We all know that the world is entangled in a revolution of ·the races.
But &#7602280;e Church is neither black nor white, nor even yellow nor red.
There is no place for racism in it. It is the Church of God-universal in
scope with local congregations; it is ear&#7602280;ly, yet spiritual; imperfect, yet
reaching for the brighter day. The Church is a unity in &#7602280;e midst of
a world of disunity. Even though the ton.Y#Uand colors are different,
these people all have things in common. They are born-again Christi&#6357102;s,
and they have been united by a covenant into the Body of Christ. They
are bound toge&#7602280;er by a common faith, a common doc&#7602290;ine, and a com
mon government. In. these last days, God_ will amaze the entire world
with a miracle of unity by His people. While the world is exploding in
revolution, chaos, and disunity, and literally falling apart at the seams,
men will &#6684777;nd· that God's Church is a stabilizing force. .The Church will
not be ensnared in the divishY#Uspirit of the world-1 Corinthians 10:31, 32;
Ephesians 2:16.
• "A world in revolution is calling for a social gospel. There is a sense
iil which the Church is to advise, . warn, and challenge society by pro
claiming the absolute criteria-the Word of God. And, that Word will
certainly touch every aspect of man's society. The Church is not com
mitted•-;to a social gospel. The Church's main task is to preach the gospel
of its'' Lord, Jesus Christ. Such preaching and its effect will have far
more impact on the social structure of a nation than any social commit-

MINUTES OF THE 65TH ANNUAL ASSEMBLY 9
ment the Church may make. Individuals make up society, and society
cannot be changed until individuals are changed. Our problems are solved,
then, if enough individuals are changed. Salvation will do more to de
stroy the moral virus infecting today's society than any social program
any gove&#7209183;ent could launch. Social bandaids and reform antiseptics will
never cure the disease of sin. Only the blood of Jesus Christ will do that.
"In a world of compromise, therefore, the Church is commissioned to
guard the faith and to preserve the doctrine in the same form it was
given to man. It was said of the early believers, ' ... &#5505128;ese that have
turned the world upside down are come hi&#7602280;er also.' Acts 17:6. &#5505128;is
was the early Church in action. The Church, then in a world of revolu
tion will provide for radical change-change from sin to salvation, yet,
at the same time, provide the stability and permanence to help anchor
man whose world of materialism and secularism is crumbling.
"Mode&#7471214; theology and philosophy have blurred the world of spirit,
soul, conscience, reason, and truth-realities upon which every great civ
ilization has ever built. The Church is the instrument by which God
will shake heaven and earth-Hebrews 12:26, 27. Christian, quit day
dreaming. . . . Get with it; get with Christ; go with Him. The &#6684777;nest hour
of the Church is now! Man's world is destined to come crumbling down;
only the Church and Christ, Who is the Head of the Church, will pro
vide the stability for these troubled times."
Brother Moore read Acts 2:38, 39, and gave an invitation for those that
needed the Holy Ghost to come and receive It. The Voice of Salvation
choir sang as seekers came to the altar.

10:08 &#5505128;e Advocate, in the Depth of His Love, Paves the Way for
SIGNS-WONDERS-MIRACL ES-illustrated message by G. A. Wilson.
Text 1 John 2:1, 2. Excerpts:
"An adv&#7274595;ate is an attorney or a lawyer who knows the technicalities
of a problem and has wisdom beyond the average person, and is able
to comprehend the meaning or the reason behind a person's problems."
Brother Wilson illustrated by having a brother come to the platform.
This brother had been in the Church for over 20 years, but six or eight
months ago, the pastor's message offended him and he stirred up quite
a problem in the local church. He became discouraged and quit com
ing to church altogether. But when he looks back to the Church, what
does he see: " ... hands outstretched ... tears running from people's
eyes . . . love coming from their hearts, saying 'I am willing to help
you.' Or, ... a &#6684777;nger of scorn pointing out guilt and shame of the things
he has done.
"&#5505128;e Bible says that a man that is offended is harder to be won than
a strong city, and his contentions are as the bars of a castle. So, in or
der for us to keep this man, there has to be a miracle worked in the
Church of God. In essence, Romans 3:25 says, 'I am not sending you down
to blame or condemn those people, but I am sending you to do some
thing so good that when they see they will desire to come back to God.'
"In 2 Corinthians 5:18-25, it shows how God worked-through the min
istry of reconciliation. There was nothing mechanical about Jesus. When
the pastor visited with this brother and he told the brother, 'I love you,'
the brother wondered ' ... does he really?' Then the band leader came
and he wonders the same th&#6881390;g. Now &#7602280;ere is noth&#6881390;g wrong with the
mecha&#7209065;sm of the Ch&#7667826;ch. What I am trying to show you is that when

MINUTES OF THE 65TH ANNUAL ASSEMBLY 11
Christ reached us there was no mechanism in it. There was something
down in His heart.
"If in the midnight hours, we feel something in our hearts and we
cannot go to sleep for thinking of this brother, and we go knock at his
door and &#6684777;nd that he has not been sleeping either; then, when we say,
'brother, I love you,' it will touch him so deep that he will feel that there is
some real love."
The Holy Ghost fell and the interpretation: "Listen, every rank of
the ministry I have called. You can, if you will. Souls are lost; souls are
dying. I am with you, if you will go. I will bring them back. I will
give you the Spirit. I will give you the help that you need, if you will go.
Listen, listen, time is running out. You must hurry. You must hasten.
Oh, oh, humble yourself; yield yourself; submit yourself to The will. Lo,
I have called. Will you go? Will you go? If you will go, stand now. If
you will go, stand now. I call, I call."
An altar invitation was given by Brother Wilson. As the seekers came,
Brother Hunter led the congregation in singing "When He Reached Down
His Hand For Me," followed by concert prayer. Eddie Mounce sang "I
Shall Not Be Moved," and led the congregation in singing "Jesus on the
Mainline." Several testimonies were given of experiences received.
11:08 SIGNS-WONDERS-MIRACLES-message by Roy Mixon. He
read Acts 2:16-21, and led the congregation in prayer. Excerpts:
Brother Mixon read Daniel 11:32, Mark 16:15-18, and Acts 1:8. "Jesus
did not send the Church forth without power to accomplish signs, won
ders and miracles, in order for the Word of God to_ be con&#6684777;rmed. &#5505128;e
Word of God needs to be con&#6684777;rmed today just as much as it did 2,000
years ago. Many people, who are Church members, have never come to
the realization of the divine workings of the Lord and the power of
God into their lives. In the early Church, the power was given to the twelve
apostles to perform signs and miracles and wonders. In Acts 6:8, 'And
Stephen, full of faith and power, did great wonders and miracles among
the people.' We are not going back to the &#6684777;rst century, but we are the
same Church that functioned in the &#6684777;rst century. We are in the twenti
eth centu&#7471225; with the same &#6684777;rst century commission and power. The reason
Jesus coul&#3866831; go about healing the sick and raising the dead and calm
ing the sea is because 'I and my father are one.' They were one in mind,
one in purpose, one in accord. They were in unity and they had a meet
ing of minds. Jesus had to spend many hours, sometimes all night, in
prayer to have this meeting of minds with His Father.
"When any individual or the Church as a whole is in one mind and
one accord with the Lord and they can say, 'our Father, Christ, the Holy
Ghost and we are one,' there is a meeting of minds-an unleashing of the
Spirit and power of God and signs, miracles and wonders are wrought
in individual lives, in the local church, and in our meetings. Prayer plays
a most important role in every major event. We are to pray always and
to pray without ceasing. It is just before, during, or after prayer that
the things we need in our lives are wrought.
"Like Paul, in Romans 15:18, 19, we should realize that when we tell
of things that have happened in our lives, these things have to happen
by the Spirit of God. We would not dare speak of anything that was
wrought in our lives if it was not wrought by the Spirit and the power

12 MINUTES OF THE 65TH ANNUAL ASSEMBLY
of the Lord."
Brother Mixon gave an example of a miracle: Many prayers had been
prayed for his father's salvation. He had always been a good moral per
son, but at age 73, he was lost because he was unsaved. Brother Mixon
visited his father one year, a little before the Assembly. He had left
and was about 70 miles from home when he began to talk with God and
God told him to return to his dad. When he retu&#7471214;ed home, he knelt
with his father in prayer and he was saved; he was baptized the fol
lowing Sunday. A month later, his fa&#7602280;er died.
"We need to obtain more of God's spirit, His presence, His power, and
His love in our lives that signs and miracles and wonders might be wrought
by the hands of us, His servants, for the con&#6684777;rmation of the Word of
God and the spreading of the Church of God."
11:35 Eddie Mounce sang "Lord, Do It Again."
11:40 The Leading of the Spirit-message by Secretary. Excerpts:
"You may have wondered about Divine Guidance-how can I know
that it is the Lord? How does it work? (Read Romans 8:14; Psalms 31:3;
61:2.) You have a choice to obey or disobey when &#4653167;d wants to speak
to you or prompt you or give you an impression. The Spirit-controlled
tongue has no acid. The Spirit-controlled heart has no bitterness. The
Spirit-controlled mind has no evil imagination. The Spirit-controlled will
lusteth not to envy. The Spirit-controlled affections know no covetousness."
Brother Hunter told of the healing of A. H. Davis, a pastor in Florida.
Brother Davis was ready to preach one night and a member said he
felt impressed that the church members should gather around Brother
Davis and pray for his healing. He went back to the doctors; they couldn't
&#6684777;nd anything wrong with him. He had been healed; someone had obeyed
the leading of the Spirit of God.
"The Bible says, 'Quench not the Spirit. Despise not prophesyings.'
1 Thessalonians 5:19, 20. It is grand order when the Holy Ghost is in
control. Let us not be afraid to obey Him. However, all promptings could
not be of the Lord. The Lord will· not lead you in wrong paths. I be
lieve the Holy Ghost knows better than I do how to direct my life. Di
vine guidance is available; are you enjoying it?
"How can I get this leadership; how can I move into this? Set your
mind actively upon God, engage in earnest prayer, hold it actively to
Holy contemplation and preserve it from the encroachment of evil powers.
Watch that spirit that rushes you; the spirit that won't give time for
examination. The Bible says to try the spirits whether they are of God.
This Assembly needs the leadership of the Spirit of God because the des
tiny of souls may ride on the decisions that are made in this Assembly."

of Fields of the Wood was in the New York Times; he described it as "mar

1:40 We Traveled the Road to Hittin-Lt. Col. E. E. Van Deventer.
Brother Van Deventer stated that 14 people (including saints from the
Jerusalem Church, two drivers, Brother Hunter and himself) attended
the service on Mt. Hittin_ He read Mark 3:13 and Luke 24:32, and said:
"The acts of Jesus and the scriptures pertaining to what Jesus did and
where He went seem to come alive ... our hearts burned within us when we
thought about how our Saviour and those that He chose had walked
somewhere in that area and He set them aside and He ordained them and
there is where He instituted the great Church of God . . . Another thing
that thrilled my soul was to walk into the old walled ci&#7602297; of Jerusa
lem and there see the Church of God of Prophecy ... I have been many
places in the world, I have traveled much of the world in the Military
Service, but this is certainly the highlight of my life."
1:50 I Am Excited About the Marking Program-Billy Thomas, North
Carolina secretary, and Omer C. Lawson, Overs&#6619237;r of Louisiana.

MINUTES OF THE 65TH ANNUAL ASSEMBLY 15
Brother Thomas read Psalm 35:23 and referred to Numbers 13-how
Joshua and Caleb were the only two out of &#7602295;elve who felt they could
go into the land of Canaan; &#7602280;ey didn't say "it can't be done," they said,
"we are able to get the job done." He read Ephesians 3:9; 5:32. People
are thirsty for the truth and the marking pro&#6750322;am is pointing the way;
they will visit Fields of the Wood when they may never visit a l&#7274595;al church.
Brother Lawson said that marking makes known and we want to be
identi&#6684777;ed. He referred to Psalm 48:12, 13-this was not a request, but
a command. The type vision we have spells out how excited we are.
He gave an example of one of the Louisiana pastors who was asked to
talk or explain the doctrine of the Church at a Catholic high school; we
need identity in this world of religious confusion. The Lord is going to
make a quick work and cut it short in righteousness-let's get excited!
Everyone praised &#7602280;e Lord for the wonderful refreshing of the Holy
Ghost in the midst.

2:32 Full Speed Ahead By Using Materials At Hand-message by M. L.
Hartley. Excerpts:
"Romans 9:28-there is a work &#7602280;at has to be finished. There is one
requirement to get the job done before we can move; that is the Spirit
of God-Zechariah 4:6. So many times when it looked like things were
flourishing, but the Spirit of God would be left out and in a little while
everything would come to a halt. To put on speed for God, we need
to have the Spirit of God operating in our very beings. One of our great
est hindrances through the years is that we have failed to take time to
study the very materials we have in our own hands. Jesus knew that
Peter was not able to go out and herd sheep, but He knew that Peter was
a &#6684777;sherman and could catch &#6684777;sh. He used the thing that He had at His
&#6684777;ngertips. The Lord told Moses to lead the children out of the land of
Egypt; He asked, 'What do you have in your hand?' It was a rod,
and that is all it took to roll the waters back; it just took the material
that he had to work with.
"We wonder why so many of our people are leaving. We fail to use
the material we have at hand. We have piles of material that have never
been used-God gave it to us by divine revelations. We need to live in
today's Church. Our General Overseer is the material that we have at hand,
and we need to listen to what he has to say. (The Holy Ghost fell with
a message and interpretation.) We have evangelists come in our cities
and communities and we warn our people not to go about them. But,
we need to be standing at the door ready to help them. They are just help
ing us. The Bible declares that the day will come that we will all see
eye to eye; we will all speak the same thing."
2:51 Brother Stubbs gave a CPMA Progress Report: he commended
the overseers and ministers in the Honor Stone Program; told of work
accomplished. at different markers; commended our people for their sup
port of the marking program; commended Brother Pennington and the
workers at Fields of the Wood for their untiring efforts; and conveyed
special greetings to the General Overseer from our Advocate and his wife
in Israel, Mr. and Mrs. Lebhar.
God's Mighty Program in Our Day-message by General Secretary.
Excerpts:
"Everything that God has planned to do, He has had it outlined
Acts 15:18. Jeremiah preached that if we would call on the Lord that He
would answer and show us great and mighty things-Jeremiah 33:2, 3.
God took the dust of the earth and formed a &#6684777;gure and it became a liv
ing soul. He meted out &#7602280;e heavens with a span and when He &#6684777;nished
it, He just hung it on nothing and it is s&#7602281;ll there today. This is God
the God of the Church of God.

"Ephesians 1:3-not one thing i.s left out that can be a blessing from
God, that can be available ri&#6750312;t in the Church of God where G&#7274596;'s pro
gram is working. He has a purpose in mind. O&#7602280;er sheep have I that
are not of this fold, them also I must bring. Why have the French speak

in the last few years united wi&#7602280; the Church as a group? Because there
is a season and a &#7602281;me to every purpose under .heav&#6619246;. 'Li&#6684788; up thine

built an ark and the animals came and God took care of &#7602280;e other pro
gram. It was a one-time, God-operated program. Just like a m&#6357102; and
woman become one, so do whole nationalities become one in Christ.
" 'Open ye the gates. . . .' Isaiah 26:2. When we &#7798898;ite the vision of
the Church we need to show where it was started on Mt. Hittin, where
it was purchased, and how a Gentile people have access to God's &#6750322;ace;
that we are &#7602280;e people that He would ha&#7733307;e lift up His h&#6357102;d to &#7602280;e
Gentiles. Union Grove was closed tight; but t&#14024912;s worked around and
we dedicated the building. &#5505128;e Shearer Schoolhouse was dedicated yes
terday. The door in Turkey is opened again. The ·prophet said to 'l&#6881382;t up
a standard.' &#5505128;e spirit of compromise is not the spirit of the Church of
God. We have held &#7602280;e standard of the Holy Ghost for many years; now,

3:55 &#5505128;e Unspeakable Gif&#7602221;message by B&#7471311;ey Trogdon, Jr., Field
Secretary. Text: 2 Corinthians 9:11-15. Excerpts:
"There are at least four ways to test a gift: motive, value, ·uniqueness,
usefulness. But Jesus Christ was nei&#7602280;er a &#7602290;adesman nor ,&#6357102; .oppopwZt"
&#5505128;e Bible declares that He gave because·He so loved us. Brother, if your
salvation is based on the material things that you possess; &#7602280;en that is

18 MINUTES OF THE 65TH ANNUAL ASSE&#5046338;LY
not a good reason to serve God. Job, a man of God; was tried in seem
ingly every way. As individuals today, .we had better be steadfast; .. &#7602280;e
devil is a persistent fellow. Many times we feel because we have good
heal&#7602280; and strength we are really pleasing God, but I hope your vision
and . your salvation is not based upon physical well being. For many
days, Job was afflicted with boils from &#7602280;e crown of his head to &#7602280;e soles
of his feet. But Job looked up into the heavens and said, '&#5505128;ough he slay
me, yet will I trust in him ... .' Job 13:15. We need &#7602280;is steadfastness
today! Can God depend on you as an individual? After everything &#7602280;at
Job had was taken, and after Job pleased God to the extent that God
looked on him and knew that he was pure gold, God pegan to • bless
him again; He doubled everything &#7602280;at he had. Why? Because he pleased
God and held fast to his integrity.
"Certainly, the Lord is unique; there wasn't anybody just like Him.
&#5505128;e same God that worked in Mark 10:46 and Acts 3:2 is in the Church
of God today. In John 4:6, &#7602280;e woman at the well didn't &#7667822;derstand the
uniqueness of Jesus Christ. But, Jesus said He would give her living
water. Still water might run deep, but· th&#6619250;e is not much power in still
water. In &#7602280;e Church of God today, we need power.
"To the ten lepers in Luke 17:14, the Lord was useful because He,, be
came cleansing for &#7602280;em; &#7602280;e same Lord is in the • Church today. -In
John 3, Nicodemus began to inqu&#6881394;e of &#7602280;e Lord. The Lord preached to
him the message of salvation and he believed. I believe if &#7602280;e power
of God is activated in the Church of God to &#7602280;e extent that &#7602280;e machin
ery we have will put in motion, &#7602280;e world can be won for the Chwch.
&#5505128;is will not happen automatically, but with &#7602280;e help of the Holy Ghost
moving us to greater action, it can happen. Many times, it seems that
the Church is our &#6684777;eld instead of &#7602280;e force, but if we will activate this
that God has given us-every man feeling his responsibility and reach
ing every soul &#7602280;at you come in contact wi&#7602280;-we can achieve this mes
sage. Ministers of the Church of God, let us get busy in propagating
&#7602280;is message to the world. God is there to do His· part, but He is de
pending upon us to do our part.''
4:25 Marie Williams sang, "God's Unspeakable Gift.''
4:28 Benjamin Lawrence, Home Mission Worker, spoke on the "Oper
ation of Missions.'' Excerpts:
"Operation means &#7602280;e condition of being in action, or at work. In or
der to operate, there has to be some work. Missions is a prospective
church. If we are going to get some new &#6684777;elds and from these &#6684777;elds get
new churches, we are going to have to work.
"So heavy was Rachel's burden that she seemingly couldn't live unless
God gave her a child-Genesis 30:1. In &#7602280;e Church of God, we need
new children; we need an increase. The world is concerned about the
number that are being born into the wo&#7471212;d today-the population ex
plosion. But in the Church of God &#7602280;ere is plenty of good room. In
Matthew 28:18-20, Jesus didn't say to stay, but He said 'Go.' &#5505128;e Spirit
of &#7602280;e Church is the Spirit of Evangelism. A l&#7274595;al church will die when
it loses its compassion for &#7602280;e lost. A minister will dry up when he
loses •his spirit of evangelism. And epidemic of evangelism is what we
need. But an epidemic only spreads because somebody who has been
exposed to the germ carries it somewhere else. Jesus said 'GO'; &#7602280;is is

6:38 Established! Acts 16:5-message by Lawrence Heckert. Excerpts:
"Bible Training Institute's function in the Church is to help establish
us. ' ... If ye will not believe, surely ye shall not be established.' Isaiah
7:9. If we can believe and accept what is offered to us, we can be estab
lished in the Church today. In our text, a decree is a ruling that is
handed do&#7798894; by a high authority. The General Assembly is the high
est authority in the Church (being subject to Christ and the Holy Ghost).

20 &#9699522;INUTES OF THE 65TH A&#5111886;UAL ASSE&#5046338;LY
BTI takes what the General Assembly has said .and establishes us in
the faith.
"In Genesis 49:3, 4, Reuben, with all of these wonderful attributes,
lacked one thing. He was, 'Unstable as water, thou shalt not excel. .. .'
Water follows the course of least resistance. We must take the course
that lies straight ahead and meet the opposition and the resistance &#7602280;at
is in our path. A slight shift in the position of the earth can change &#7602280;e
course of a river. It will leave "its. 9,riginal bed and then begin to flow
in a different way. It has been a shift of position that has caused some
people to change their course and leave &#7602280;e Church of God. David, the
King, said that he had one desire above all others, that he might dwell
in the House of the Lord forever (Psalm 27:4); he would rather be a
doorkeeper, if he had to be shifted to that posi&#7602281;on than to dwell in &#7602280;e
tents of the wicked and dwell outside the Church (Psalm 84:10) .. In Ac&#7602291;
20:22-24, Paul gave us one of the most wonderful testimonies of be
ing established in the Church. He didn't take the course of least re
sistance."
The Holy Ghost fell and a message was interpreted: "Listen my peo
ple. Behold I say unto thee, there are many winds of doctrines. Watch,
pray and be steadfast. Don't be shook. Don't listen to all winds of d&#7274595;
trine. The Church of God, with its General Overseer M. A. Tomlinson,
is the proper fold. Stay in line with the Church. Obey and you will
prosper. Yea, yea, I say further .unto thee. I have built my Church and
the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. Nothing will stop it. I
have established my Church. It shall &#13893842;sh its course."
Brother Heckert continued: "When we don't know what lies ahead, we
must go on, and excel for the Church of God. 1 Timothy 4:1 is the
kind of program &#7602280;at the devil is working in the world today. I want to
be established enough to &#6684777;nish my course in the Church."
7:08 Jean Coalter led the congregation in singing "I Want to Know
More .About My Lord."
7:14 Balaam and His Doctrine-message by A. J. Coalter, Superintend
ent. Excerpts:
"If we think altogether positive, we may lose &#7602280;e true concept of Church
government and Bible doctrine, because every&#7602280;ing in the Bible is not
positive. It takes &#7602280;e negative to expose the positive sometimes. We &#6684777;nd
in 2 Peter 2:15 that &#7602280;is group of people was one time a right people,
because the Bible says they forsook &#7602280;e right way. Secondly, we le&#7471311;
the reason for &#7602280;em going astray; they loved the wages of unrighteous
ness. We don't hear much about Balaam today, but the spirit of Balaam
is not dead. The .Bible tells us that Balaam was impressive partly be·
cause he acknowledged God. Also, he was deceptive wi&#7602280; his personality
by saying that he could not go beyond the Word of the Lord. Every
•time someone says the Lord told me some&#7602280;ing does not necessarily mean
the Lord told them something. I believe in visions and in &#6553714;eams and
in revelations. The Bible speaks about these &#7602280;ings, but when &#7602280;e Lord
tells us some&#7602280;ing it will not go against the Word of God.• &#5701736;en the
Lord •saved us, He did set us free; however, He did not set us free from
gove&#7209183;ent, He set us free from sin and the things of &#7602280;is world.
"It is &#6881389;pressive to say ·the Lord is leading me, and the Lord showed

MI&#5111893;TES OF THE 65TH ANNUAL ASSEMBLY 21
me &#7602280;at. We need to be careful rather than to take a statement at face
value; we would do well to try the spirit to see whether the spi&#7471209;t be
of God or whether it be of Balaam or of satanic power of this world.
Balaam was an influential character. According to Numbers 25, he in
troduced pagan gods of Moab to Israel . and • they embraced the pagan
ism of the Moabites; they also indulged in fo&#7209179;cation. You know how
this affected God; 24,000 Israelites died of a plague. God has not slack
ened his pace on restrictions on adultery and fo&#7209179;cation. Preachers, when
we become permissive with sin, the devil has just about got us. We
are in a permissive society. The devil is tricky and he is after the elect.
The elect is going to be shifted, tried, and proven, but there is no place
in the elect for &#7602280;e works of the flesh.
"Witchcraft is also connected with the doctrine of Balaam. It is at
an all-time high, and is gaining in popularity in America. This is some
of the smoothest operation that Satan has in his clutches tonight, to in
troduce witchcraft to this generation. We &#6357106;e on the borders of pagan
ism. &#5505128;e Bible has much to say about witchcraft and witchery, sooth
sayers, workers of divination. We, who have &#7602280;e Spirit of God in our
hearts, need not worry about the witchcraft spirit. 'Greater is he that
is in you, than he that is in the world.' The Bible says that all of those
that use divination, that enchant, that use witchery, are charmers, are
consulters with the spirits, or wizards, all of these are an abomination unto
the Lord and the wrath of God is upon those that do such things (Deu
teronomy 18:10-12).
"Some 1,500 years after Balaam, his doc&#7602290;ine was in&#6684777;ltrating the early
Church (Revelation 2:12-14). When we report the &#6684777;rst of the month and
say thank God for helping me be faithful to my overseer, there is a
possibility of us relaxing to such an extent that we can become p&#6619250;
missive, to allow sin to be in the Church that should not be there. We
need to be careful lest we, too, embrace the ugly, damnable d&#7274595;trine of
Balaam in our local churches and bring the &#7798898;ath of God upon us &#6357102;d
cause us to lose the victory with the Lord. Balaam wasn't a way-out
man; he was a near-by man. The kind that is so close to right, but is
not right.
"Church, it is time that we examine the doctrine of the Church and
make a systematic study of God's Word to know what we believe in.
Revelation 2:16 tells us God's wrath was kindled against the pastor of
the church at Pergamos. When you get God against you, you've got &#4718745;
force against you. Let's be careful about walking in the light as the
light shines on our pathway. K&#6619237;p a go&#7274596; spirit
"We'd rather feast than we had fast. We'd rather party than we had
pray. We'd rather entertain than we had agonize wi&#7602280; God. If we will
please God, we'll be having some prayer meetings instead of so many
parties. We cannot substitute anything for prayer and fasting and con
secration to God.''

8:26 Evangelistic message and invitation by Ray C. Wynn, P&#6881339;incipal.
Before his message, Brother Wynn asked the congregation to pray for the
altar service. Excerp&#7602291;:
"' ... he is a rewarder of &#7602280;em that diligently seek him.'. Hebrews
11:6. There is a difference in just seeking God &#6357102;d diligently see&#7078004;jng Him.
Diligent means earnest and energetic; application and effort. In Deuteron
omy 4:9 there are four wa&#7471214;ings to Israel against idola&#7602290;y: Take heed
to thyself; keep thy soul diligent; don't forget wha� you have seen;
and, teach what you know to your son's sons. Hebrews 11:5 tells us by faith
Enoch was translated because he had. this testimony &#7602280;at he pleased God.
One of these days we are going to be translated, but we must· have
this same testimony that we pleased God. The pleasures of s&#6881390; are for a sea
son. Many are enjoying the pleasures of sin tonight, but seasons are going
to change and that is why you need the Lord.
"The widow in Luke 18:2-8 was possessed wi&#7602280; determination; she had
a diligent spirit about her. She received deliverance because she went
to the right source. It pays to go to the right source. What is the an
swer to our empty altars? It is going to come by prayer and by fai&#7602280; and
by seeking the Almighty God. &#5505128;e woman in Mark 5 had a made-up
mind to get in contact with God and she walked away with victory.
When Elisha realized that Elijah was going to 'be·take&#6881385; away, he wanted

MINUTES OF THE 65TH ANNUAL ASSEMBLY 23
a double portion of Elijah's spirit and he stood with him; that was a
diligent walk.
"Jacob wresUed wi&#7602280; God and the Lord blessed him. Would to God
we had some wrestl&#6881390;g matches in the Church of God like this; people
having a hunger for God and getting hold of &#7602280;e Lord." In closing, Broth
er Wynn read Hosea 10:12 &#6357102;d many came to seek the Lord.

9:11 • Don't Tilt the Pyramid On Its Apex-message by Fred S. Fisher, Sr.
Excerpts:
"&#5505128;e Egyptian dynasty was the greatest power of its time. A pyramid
was a symbol that the Egyptians chose to represent stability, power and
security. Th� top or the point of &#7602280;e pyramid is its apex. When a pyra
mid is placed upon its apex, or upside down, all balance is lost. The
Church of God, like the planet Earth, did not just happen. &#5505128;ere. was a
plan and a pl&#7209167;er; a design and a designer. The Church is here for
a purpose. One purpose of the Church is to preach God's message to God's
man like it is-preach and defend. We have no intentions of even th&#7209172;
ing in a different way, but we, like the Egyptians, have a pyramid and
and we want it to stay on its base; we want the apex to spiral toward
heaven and give us security, stability, power, and divine favor in the
eyes:of God. The world must know &#7602280;at God has a Church and it has
a message to deliver. We need men in the pulpit who are not a&#6684786;aid
to stand up and speak out. We, who love the Church of God today, need
to love it better than ourselves, better &#7602280;an our c&#7274605;panions, better than
our business, better than our investments.
"The message and the vision of the Church can either be a stimulant
or a sedative. The Apostle Paul was a full-time minister and a part-time
ten&#7602285;aker. He used his tent making as a means to an end, and that end
was to evangelize the known world. The main object of Paul's minis&#7602290;y was
to preach the gospel to every man he came in contact with. Let's build
for the Church; not for self.
• ••
"2 Timo&#7602280;y 2:17-19 says the foundation can't be disturbed and it stand
eth sure. But it says, ' ... and overthrow the faith of some.' E.ven if
I started acting and preaching in a way that the Church of God doesn't
support, the Church will stay &#7602280;e same. It's true you cannot shake &#7602280;e
foundations down, but the overthrowing of &#7602280;e fai&#7602280; of some in the thing
to be concerned about. Don't tamper with the foundation of the Church
of God. &#5505128;ere are different kinds of pillars (l Timo&#7602280;y 3:15). Some
you coil up and go to sleep on and others you build on. We need peo
ple that will support the truth, build the truth, and &#6684777;)Z#"the truth.
"We are facing an ambitious, thinking, progressive-minded youth. Some
of them remind me of Caleb and Joshua. They had already been to
Canaan and come back. They knew the way, but &#7602280;ese two men said,
'we are going to stay and work within the system and work with Moses.'
The Church has a government; we have a system to work through. The
Church of God is to work in unity and in peace. Winds of dissent, winds
of change, winds of progress and improvement; this is the spirit of the
day. A&#7209081; progressive-minded man or woman in love with the Church
of God wants to see the Church progress and improve. What &#7798889;ll the
Church do in the 1970's? The &#6684777;nal destiny of &#7602280;e Ch&#7667826;ch rests in the
hands of this generation. Let's not let &#7602280;e devil steal &#7602280;em. Let's work
to keep &#7602280;em!" Brother Fisher read an article he had written a few days
earlier:

Introduction
Another year is history for the Church of God, and it brings to mind
a sobering, yet glorious &#7602280;ought-How much longer wi&#7077996; it be before our
Lord will speak those wonderful words, " ... Well done, &#7602280;ou good and
faithful servant: thou hast been faithful over a few &#21233993;, I will make
thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of &#7602280;y lord"? (Matthew
25:21)
Surely it can't be long. But oh, we still have so much work to do in
the Chur_ch �f God! It is going to take many fai&#7602280;ful servants to &#6684777;nish the
work. But we have them-yes, I believe we have them-and we will have
more of them as time goes on! Hallelujah!
Let us ponder a few of the high poin&#7602291; in &#7602280;e life of Abraham-&#7602280;at
great patriarch who be&#7077993;eved the Lord, took Him at His Word, and en
dured so &#7536756;aunchly that he has been called "The father of the faithful."
God's &#6684777;rst recorded words to Abraham were a command: "Now the
Lord had said unto Abram, Get &#7602280;ee out of thy coun&#7602290;y, &#6357102;d from &#7602280;y
kindred, and from ;thy father's house, unto a land that I will shew &#7602280;&#6619237;."
(Genesis 12:1)
I&#7143533;ediately following the command was &#7602280;e pro&#7143529;se: "&#4259950;d I will make
of thee a great nation, and I wi&#7077996; bless thee, and make thy name great;
and thou shalt be a blessing: &#4259950;d I will bless them that bless thee, and
curse him that curseth &#7602280;ee: and in thee shall a&#7077996; families of &#7602280;e earth
be blessed."
Hebrews 11:8 tells us, "By faith Abraham, when he was called to go
out into a place which he should after receive for an inheritance, obeyed;
and he went out, not knowing whither he went."
There is no record of Abraham questioning the Lord on this occasion.
He put his faith and trust so completely in God's hands that God would
have had to be untrue to allow him to go in the wrong direction. God's
leading brought Abraham and his family into the land of Canaan, which
the New Testament ca�ls the land of promise. It was inhabited by the
Canaanites, but this did not disturb &#4259938;raham's faith. &#5505128;e Bible says,
"By faith he sojou&#7471214;ed in the land of promise, as in a s&#7602290;ange coun&#7602290;y .... "
(Hebrews 11:9)
Think how great was the faith of this man who was able to look be
yond the literal ful&#6684777;llment, counting hims&#6619244;f a s&#7602290;anger in &#7602280;e land God
had promised him. He undoubtedly knew that Canaan was the nat&#14024926;
inheritance, and that it would be in&#7078042;abited by his .descendants ,s.�me&#11862242;e
in the future. But &#7602280;is man &#6684777;g&#7667826;ed in the sp&#6881394;itual inherita.nG� which

MI&#5111893;T&#4522067; OF THE 65TH ANNUAL ASSEMBLY 33
lay beyond ma&#7209081; dispensations; and began to be ful&#6684777;lled in Christ.
Abraham sojou&#7471214;ed in Canaan. Sojourn means to Hve somewhere tem
porarily; or to stay briefly. Neither Abraham nor his son, Isaac; nor his
grandson, Jacob, made &#7602280;is a permanent dwelling place; they dwelt in
tents, and moved about. It is said of Abraham, "For he looked for a
city which hath foundations, whose builder and maker is God." (Hebrews

&#5505128;ere was an occasion or two when his faith wavered slightly, mak
ing the pa&#7602290;iarch akin to us all. But he was quick to see his failures
and return to &#7602280;e conditions of the covenant of promise. The arrangement
resulting in the birth of Ishmael was Abraham's g&#7471205;atest lapse of fai&#7602280;;
but, because God had respect to His promise, the covenant remained.
His most severe test came when God called him to offer up
•
the chosen
seed, Isaac, on Mount Moriah-the spot where some 860 years later the
great temple of Solomon was built. Abraham won a &#6750322;eat victory of fai&#7602280;
that day. Although the beautiful house that Solomon built was some&#7602280;ing
of a temporal monument to that fai&#7602280;, a thousand or more years later
One walked in that city who was able to d&#6619235;lare of Himself, "Behold,
a greater than Solomon is here." It is written of this One:
"Wherefore, holy brethren, partakers of the heav&#6619246;ly calling, consider
the Apostle and High Priest of our profession, Christ Jesus;
"Who was faithful to him that appointed him, as also Moses was faith
ful in all his house . . .
"And Moses verily was faithful in all his house, as a servant ... •
"But Christ as a son over his own house; whose house are we, if we
hold fast the con&#6684777;dence and the rejoicing of the hope &#6684777;rm unto th� end."
(Hebrews 3:1-6)
Here we have our own faithfulness as "holy brethren, partakers of &#7602280;e
heavenly calling," co&#7209070;ected with our membership in &#7602280;e Church of G&#7274596;,
"His house," if we prove fai&#7602280;ful. Without a doubt, this is what Abra
ham. saw by faith-" .. : a city which .. hath foundatio.ns, whose builder and
maker is God." Hallelujah!
Speaking of Abraham and his descendants, "Therefore sprang t&#6815790;ere. ev&#6619246;
of one, and him as good as dead, so many as the stars of the'· sky in
multitude, and as the sand which is
. by the sea shore innumerable. These
all died in faith, not having received the promises, but haying seen
them afar off, and were persuaded of them, and embraced them, and
confessed &#7602280;at they were s&#7602290;angers and pilgrims on the earth." (Hebrews
11:12, 13)
After many other heroes of faith were named, the writer says: "And
these all, having obtained a go&#7274596; report through fai&#7602280;, received not &#7602280;e
the promise: God having provided some better thing for us, &#7602280;at they
without us should not be made perfect." (Hebrews 11:39, 40)
&#5505128;at better thing is what we have today-Christ a.nd His Church
and our priv&#6881388;ege of bringing &#7602280;e plan to completion so &#7602280;at the fai&#7602280;ful
of all ages may be made perfect together wi&#7602280; us.

We have entered a new decade &#6881390; &#7602280;is Twentie&#7602280; Century. Being alert

we may be closer than we realize. It can clearly be seen &#7602280;at there is
much more to be, accomp&#7077993;shed &#7602280;an has been done; This &#6422629;ing &#7602280;e case,
and &#7602280;e time being short, it will ·be necessary to speed. up .our work from
this &#6881505;e forward.
It has taken a great deal of praying &#6357102;d promoting to carry, on even
at &#7602280;e rate_we have been going. We are Uving in a day when. there is
much to dis&#7602290;act people's attention from the things &#7078109;at really matter.
Some have felt that they could. better th�seJves �ancially and s&#7274595;ially
by . becoming involved. in .secul&#6357106; interes.ts Jn a. greater measure. L&#7274607;king

to feel that &#7602280;e Church does not offer sufficient opportunity for advance
ment. Some have .. neglected their ministry and others have for.saken it

Each individual must give account of his calling and· stewardship, but
to increase our accomplishments for God and . His Church, the. fai&#7602280;ful
ones will have to give more of their time and s&#7602290;ength to the work rather
&#7602280;an less. Whatever, we do will. have to be done willingly. We have
never driven people .to , do things, for we arEf operating under· the spirit

No . ,doubt we have many wonderful mini&#6881324;ters who have been proving
themselves in the sight of &#7602280;e Lord for years, and who will be used in

Our -&#11862163;&#7471220;t aim should be to reach more people with the message &#6488169;f
Christ &#6357102;d His Church, and convince them so thoroughly that &#7602280;ey will
desire to be members. With the large force of workers we have now,
we should multiply our present membership many times in this decade,
if the Lord tarries. It will take more preaching, more personal work, and
more praying. Also, it will take
•
a mighty effort on the part of the
auxiliaries· to ·provide the means· necessary for a world-wide ou&#7602290;each.
Our present membership 'is four times large&#7471162; than it was 25 years a·go.
This &#7667860;cre&#6357036;se has been made in spite of opposition, limited means; a&#6881385;d
fewer facilities than are now available. &#5505128;e early Church membership
reached into &#7602280;e milHons before the falling away. &#5505128;e latter house. will
surpass this, according to the Word of God.
It will be necessary for us to go. into every possible mission &#6684777;eld. The
all-nations, every-creature message must become more of a reality and
less visionary. Mode&#7471214;. transportation and communications have brou&#6750312;t
nations closer together than our states and cities used to be. However,
we will need ... the .Lord to .open the· doors and pull· back the curtains that
now resist us. Regardless of our willingness or means, it will take prayer
and fasting to plant the Banner of Truth in these &#6684777;elds.
We . ,�vili �ot forg&#4522092;t _the possibilities offered by way of radio and tele
vision .. We look fop\!. to the time when the demand for the &#7602290;uth will
be so great that stations will welcome programs that are spiritual and
full of &#6684777;re. Our broadcasts should be so charged with the power of God
and the witness of the Holy Ghost that the listeners and viewers will soon
recognize a Church of God program before the name is a&#7209070;ounced. We
must . pray for the favor of God _ on our programs so &#7602280;at they will be
asked Jor instead of having fo put forth. so much effort to get them aire�t
At present, we will need a greater effort o&#7471209; the _ part of our overseers,
pastors, public. relations directors, and. others in _the various states and
countries_ to negotiate with station managers for wider coverage.
It is evident that· the average age of the population· of the world is
much lower than· in past years, and therefore, more attention must be
given to the youth of the Church. -We have seen a great upsurge in &#6750322;oup
effort ·among our young people in the last decade. Youth Life Teams
are bei&#7209063; organized in greater numbers, and the spirit of missions is s&#6881510;&#3866670;
ri&#10813544;g bur _younger members. This is good, and every effort that has been
made to • help in this . area is to be highly commended. -However, our
zeal to go and do must be accompanied by a like zeal to prepare, train,
and equip our people for the task.

Our training progra&#7143539; need to provide ski&#7077996; in answering the people's
questions with tp.R#"about the Church of God d&#7274595;&#7602290;ine. Training in meth
ods and approach are good, but this is secondary to a thorough &#7077997;owl
edge of &#7602280;e doctrine and practices &#7274598; the Church as &#7602280;e &#7602280;eocracy of
God. When they ask the way to the Church, they must be given sound
answers. &#5505128;e doctrine of those shepherds which scattered them will not
be accepted. &#5505128;ey will demand to join by cov&#6619246;ant. Our ministers, young
and old, must be ready to give Bible answers and carry out Bible pro
cedures.
&#5505128;e work of Bible Training Institute will need to be taken more seri
ously. by those who attend. Schools will need to be conducted as soon
as possible where new mission fields are opened up in order to estab
lish new workers in the faith and provide a greater working f&#7274610;ce. Our
college must be dedicated to &#7602280;e task of providing sound teaching and
efficient training for those who desire broader education. &#5505128;e Sunday
School must take full advantage of its every-pupil opportunity so &#7602280;at every
one who comes under our i&#7209062;luence will feel the impact of our teaching.
Our Victory Leaders Band is for the purpose of training our young
people in the work of the Lord; more emphasis needs to be placed on
this goal. Every sepWd#"should be planned with this in mind. &#5505128;e l&#7274595;al
bands can study the Body of Christ course, the General Bible Knowl
edge course, the 29 Prominent Teachings of the Church, and o&#7602280;er ma
terials prepared by our Church leaders.
Keep in mind that any fop\C"moves that are made must be made
by the Church as a whole. Every department must function at the peak
of its ability, but it is the Church of God that will be presented per
fect when the work is all &#6684777;nished.
THE TRINITY
In the Church of God for many years we have referred to • certain
Bible doctrines as the Twenty-nine lmpo&#2949350;ant Bible Truths. Some have
referred to these as the teachings of the Church, but this is not &#3211326;trictly
so, since we take the whole Bible as the Word of God, the New Testa
ment as our p.d#"of faith and practice, gove&#7209183;ent and discipline. Our
ministers have freely preached from the doctrines · of &#7602280;e Word of God,
most of which are so clear they need little explanation. Denominations
have resulted from divisions over points of d&#7274595;trine that have been clear
to the Church of God through &#7602280;e years. These things should not become
an issue in the Church, because they do not seem to call for any special
treatment. However, some have listened to &#7602280;e private in&#7602277;rpretations of
others, and have been led astray. It is sad when this happens, but we
can only warn our people to have faith in the simplicity of the gospel of
Christ.
The doc&#7602290;ine of the Trinity has always b&#6619237;n readily accepted by &#7602280;e
Church from the beginning, and is believed by millions of Christians. In
times of &#6750322;eat apostasy, such as experienced before the falling away in

MINU&#5505093;S OF THE 65TH A&#5111971;AL ASSE&#5046338;LY 37
A. D. • 325, this. and other doc&#7602290;ines were issues. However, we do not &#6684777;nd
that the Church received edi&#6684777;cation from the disputes. Since &#7602280;e enemy
has seemingly revived the issue in these last days, and would draw the
Church of God into a dispute if he could, it seems necessary to speak
concer&#7209065;ng The Trinity.
We will not delve into the ideas and opinions of the &#7602280;eologians, since
it is this that has distracted some from the &#7602290;uth. &#5505128;e &#5505138;inity is a
mystery; the truth of which is clearly known to exist. &#5505128;ou&#6750312; ma&#7209081;
volumes have been written on it and ar&#6684777;)h2M#"set forth by &#7602280;ose who
claimed to be inspired by &#7602280;e Holy Ghost, how, when; and where &#7602280;e
Trinity was formed remains hidden by God in reverent obscurity. God
is in&#6684777;nite, but men are limited by a short life span and cannot under
stand the spiritual matters unless God reveals &#7602280;em.
A knowledge of the manner in which the &#5505138;inity was formed is not
essential to salvation. There is nothing about the plan of salvation which
cannot be understood by any individual who desires to be saved. The
Lord, in speaking of the way of holiness, declared, ". . . the wayfaring
men; though fools, shall not err therein." (Isaiah 35:8) God saw &#6684777;t to
have His Church established in this world, and gave it &#7602280;e authori&#7602297;
through the General Assembly to rightly divide &#7602280;e Word of &#7602290;u&#7602280;. &#5505128;e
Assembly-has never found this difficult when the Holy Ghost is &#6750313;ven
opportunity to dir&#6619235;t in the searching and revelations.
Trinity is the union of &#7602280;ree persons-the Fa&#7602280;er, the Son, and &#7602280;e
Holy Ghost-in one Godhead. We know there is one God, but He mak&#6619251;
Himself known in three Persons. &#5505128;e Bible po&#6881390;ts these out, and the
work attributed to each One. From everlasting, the Son has existed, but,
while He is • possessed of all the perfections of the Father, He is not the
Father. &#5505128;e Holy Ghost is described as a distinct Person with all &#7602280;e
attributes of God, yet He is nei&#7602280;er the Father nor the Son. &#4587634;om &#7602280;e
beginning, we have a clear picture of &#7602280;is union, or unity, which we would
do well to follow. More than one was present at the. creation.
"In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth . . . and the
Spirit of God moved upon the face of &#7602280;e waters." (Genesis 1:1, 2)
"And God. said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness .... "
(Genesis 1:26) •
To us who know Jesus, the Son of God, this is quite clear. However,
the Apostle John sheds even greater light:
''In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was wi&#7602280; God, and the
Word was God.
•
"The same was in the beginning with God.
"&#4259948;l &#6815965;ngs were made by him; and without him was not any thing made
that was made." (John 1:1-3)
''And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us .... " (John 1:14)
&#5505128;ese scriptures plainly identify Jesus as the Word. Nothing was made
without Him; He was present at the creation. Since the Word was with
God, more &#7602280;an one person is clearly seen. The Word was· God si&#6750318;i&#6684777;es

.. We have evidence of the three Persons in a number of. New Testament
scriptures. When Jesus was baptized by John &#7602280;e Baptist, we have &#7602280;is
witness: · "And the &#4718651;oly .Ghost descended in a bodily shape like a dove
upon him, and a voice came from• heaven, which said, Thou art my be&#2556077;
loved Son; in thee I am well pleased." (Luke 3:22) The Son was &#7602280;ere
in the flesh, as all could see. &#5505128;e Holy Ghost descended upon Him in visible
fonn. Then the voice of the Father spoke, declaring Jesus to be His Son.
John declares that he actua&#7077996;y saw .the Spirit descending from heaven
like a dove, and that it abode on Jesus. (John 1:32)
.John 14:16: "&#3014721;nd I (Jesus) will pray the Father (G&#7274596;); and he shall
give you another Comforter (the Holy Ghost), &#7602280;at he may abide wi&#7602280;
you for ever." Another witness of the three. P&#6619250;so&#7209075;, and Their unity is
John 16:13-15: '!Howbeit when he, &#7602280;e Spirit of: tru&#7602280;, is come, he will
&#6750325;ide you into all &#7471337;th: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatso
ever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he· will &#7536744;ew you things to
come.
"He shall glorify me: for he shall receive . of mine, and &#7536744;all shew it
unto you.
"All things that th.e Fath&#6619250; ha&#7602280; are mine: therefore said I, that he
shall take of mine, and shall shew it unto you."
&#5505128;ere is nothing puzzling about the T&#6815858;ee being One. A man and his
wife are one, yet they are de&#6684777;nitely two perso&#7209075;. -Before. Jesus suffered,
He prayed to the Father: "&#5505128;at they all may be one; as thou, Father,
art in me, and I in &#7602280;ee, that they also may be one in us . . . that they
may be one, even as we are one." (John 17:21, 22) It· is easy to see
that the thousands of members in the Church of God are not one per
son. Since we are one in the same sense that the
•
Father and the Son
are One, it is clear that the Godhead must consist of more than one Person.
'
·
&#5505128;e Trini&#7602297;· worked in the resurrection of Christ: "But. if the Spirit of
him &#7602280;at raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised
up. Christ. from the dead shall also . quicken your mortal bodies by &#6815849;s
Spirit that dwelle&#7602280; in you." (Romans 8:11) &#5505128;e Holy Ghost is the Spir
it of &#7602280;e Father. Paul declares that God raised &#7602280;e Son from the dead
by &#7602280;e same Holy Ghost that dwells in us.

and it hardly seems necessary to make any effort to defend the d&#7274595;

CONSTRUCTIVE CRITICISM
According to the Bible, each .. member of the· Ch&#7602281;rch. is a member &#6881390;
par&#7602281;cular, set in, &#7602280;e Body &#3866773;y the Lord Himself. The Apostle Paul said,
"But now hath God set &#7602280;e members every one of &#7602280;em in &#7602280;e body,
as it _hath pleased him." "Now ye are .the body of Christ, and. members
i&#2162796; particular." (1 Corin&#7602280;ians 12:18, 27)
Of the minis&#7602290;y, he said, "And God ha&#7602280; set some in the ch&#7667826;ch, &#6684777;rst
apostles, secondarily prophets, thirdly teachers .... " (1 Corinthians 12:28)
"And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangel
ists; and some, pastors and teachers." (Ephesians 4:11)
Paul explains, "So we, being many, are one qody in Christ, and every
one members one of another. Having then gifts diff&#6619250;ing according to
the grace that is given to us, whe&#7602280;er prophecy, let us prophesy accord
ing to the proportion of faith; &#5177458; .minis&#7602290;y, let us wait on our minister
ing; or he that teacheth, on teaching; Or he &#7602280;at exhorte&#7602280;, on exhorta
tion .... " (Romans 12:5-8)
When the church at Corinth became divided over a preference of min
isters, Paul s&#6881461;d they were c&#13566163;l.
.
He showed th&#6619245; &#7602280;at all of those
men were ministers, " ... even as &#7602280;e Lord gave to every man." (1 Co
rinthians 3:5) He showed that every man had his work, one planting
and ano&#7602280;er watering, and throu&#6750312; &#7602280;is system G&#7274596; brought about &#7602280;e
increase.
Paul used the type of a building: "For we are labourers together wi&#7602280;
God: ye are God's husbandry; ye are God's building." (1 Cor&#6881390;&#7602280;ians 3:9)
&#5505128;is illustration that he, as a wise masterbuilder, had laid the founda
tion, and others helped build on &#7602280;at foundation. It was . &#7602280;e responsi
bility of every man to take heed to . his own part in the building procesi&#3866683;.
These scriptures show that &#7602280;ey harmonize with the &#7602280;eocratic form
of gove&#7209183;ent practiced by the Church. God has the greatest part of
all-setting both members · and ministers in the Body, everyone accord
ing to His purpose. But the outworking of His plan is done by and throu&#6750312;
those He has set in the Body. He has given. us the blueprint, the G&#6619246;
.era! Assembly to interpret it, and the divine order through which to carry
it out.
In &#7602280;e Church, each man is to accept his appoin&#7602285;ent as divine, as
it comes to him. throu&#6750312; &#7602280;e channel God has ordained. &#5701736;en .he ac
cepts it with all his peart, God's anoin&#7602281;ng comes upon him and he. goes
to work at his pa&#7471220; of the task. At times, &#7602280;e individ&#3014872;al may not. fµlly
understand why his inspirations happen as they do; but he . has :a
,

feeling when he is working in line with that inspiration and in obedi
ence to the one who has appointed him. Up to this point, all seems well.
But if someone working beside him becomes critical, a&#7471209;d he learns
&#7602280;at unfavorable remarks are being passed concerni&#7209063; his work, he be
comes confused and uncertain. If he &#7602290;ies to adjust his efforts to avoid
the criticism, he may &#6684777;nd that everything g&#7274597;s wrong and he feels no
satisfaction in what he is· doing.
••
I am saying this because there is evidence of too much criticism and
fault-&#6684777;n&#6881490;g of one another's work. Paul asks, "Who art thou that judg
est another man's servant? to his own master be standeth or falle&#7602280;. . . ."
(Romans 14:4) This applies to our work in the Church as well as to
the life we live; and it is in agreement wi&#7602280; our order of gove&#7209183;ent.
Each worker is answerable to the one over him in &#7602280;e &#4980847;rd. If he of
fends others, or &#6881382; his work is not satisfactory, &#7602280;e one who appointed
him will make &#7602280;e neces&#7536737;ry adjustments. If he is working in harmony
with the Church and th� Assembly, he should not be criticized, even
though his methods may not be the. same as another's would be. Usually
when an individual falls under criticism, his work will suffer rather &#7602280;an
improve. In trying to please everyone; he becomes confused and pleases
no one.
. But &#7602280;ere is a constructive criticism. If criticism is to be offered, it
·should be the • constructive kind. However, not too many people have
the wisdom· and tact to• give it. It should be prompted by love and a
·genuine ·concern for our bro&#7602280;er's good. It should be offered in private,
lest others less wise should· take up the issue in an offensive manner.
If the suggestion is rejected, no further men&#7602281;on should be made of it.
The story is told of Dr. Albert Cook, an· &#18153805;h missionary to Africa,
who published-a: paper on "The Treatment of Malaria,
&#2555949;' after having seen
·whole villages
-
-&#7798889;ped out by &#7602280;e disease and experi_en.cing it in his own
body; He had &#7078060;tked hard on the article, .putt&#6881390;g his whole heart and soul
into it in the hope of its being a blessing to mankind:
. A certain research scientist pub�shed a stinging criticism of the paper.
Dr. Cook was hurt, and many temptations entered his mind, but he
got hold of himself and decided to re-study the subject. He found that
his -critic was ri&#6750312;t. Profiting. &#6684786;om his mistake, and taking the cri&#7602281;
·cism like a man, he later made discoveries which resulted in promotion
and enabled him to aid more sick people and reach more people for
Christ.
Cons&#7602290;uctive criticism could be like an answer to prayer. It could be
the Lord's way of helping His servant. Take Paul's • critici&#7536749; of Peter
as an example. Peter seemed to fear· cri&#7602281;cism froin the Jews for tak
ing the Christian stand in the matter ·of circumcision. Paul used the &#6881390;
' cident as an example in his letter to the Galatians: "But when Peter was
come to Antioch, I withstood him to the face, b&#6619235;ause he was to be
blamed." (Galatians 2:11)
I don't believe any of us would say that Paul was hard and offensive,
or that he had criticized Peter behind his back. The criticism was made
" ... before them all ... " (verse 14), and it was undoubtedly effec&#7602281;ve,
being &#6750313;ven and received with charity. If it had not been so, it is doubt-

MINUT&#4522067; OF THE 65TH ANNU&#4259916; ASSE&#5046338;LY 41
ful that Paul would have taken the freedom to refer to it in his letter to
&#6815849;s l&#7274595;al church.
&#5505128;e Church is s&#7602290;iving for the unity of &#7602280;e faith. -'or one worker to
go from place to place speaking critically of ano&#7602280;er's work or
•
way of
doing things, mars &#7602280;e image of the Church and often hinders the work a fel
low laborer has put his whole soul and mind into. Sometimes, a critical
attitude, though not put into words, can leave a wrong impression.
It is better to do all we can to
·
build up one ano&#7602280;er's work. If we
should do. anything to cause another's effor&#7602291; to be unsuccessful, &#7602280;e work
of the Church as a whole would be hindered &#7602280;at much. None of us are
working for personal glory, but when we all pull toge&#7602280;er and show
due appreciation for one another's work, we are glorifying the Lord by
&#6684777;nishing the work He has given us to do.
It seems that it would- be good to go from &#7602280;is Assembly with a genu
ine determination to limit all our criticisms to the constructive kind, re
member&#7209168; Jesus'- words: "And as ye would that men should do to you,
do ye also to th&#6619245; likewise." (Luke 6:31)
. KEEPING OUR MEMBERS
One of life's greatest blessings is to be a member of the Church, &#7602280;e
Body of Qhrist. It is not the same as joining a denomina&#7602281;on. The cove
nant must be administered by a duly authorized minister, but it is the
Lord Who adds the member to the Body.
In most instances it is not easy to gain a member for the Church. He
must &#6684777;rst be saved, then accept the teac&#6815849;ngs of &#7602280;e Bible as interpreted
by the General Assembly. As a rule, it takes teac&#6815849;ng and expl&#20775225;
to help a soul gain membership in the Church. When this is accomplished,
we feel so happy because another -individual has walked in the light.
We are repaid a hundredfold for all the prayers, tears, and patience it
took to win him.
I am distressed that our records show so many who were won by such
caref&#7667820; effort are being disfellowshipped; Reports are reeceived of mem
bers being turned out of the Church without their knowledge, or wi&#7602280;
out any effort made to help &#7602280;em. &#5505128;is is &#6750322;ievous. &#5701736;en this happens,
it seems that someone has failed to receive instruction concerning the
Bible way of dealing with an erring member.
&#5505128;e Assembly Band Movement has been in operation for more than
50 years. The purpose is to assist the pastors in tak&#6881390;g care of the mem
bers so that none will be lost. &#5505128;is is taught in our Bible Training In
stitutes, and our General and State ABM-Secretaries teach and preach
it from the pulpit. It hardly seems possible that anyone would not un
derstand its value to the Church. I wonder if we know the letter but not
the spirit of &#7602280;e program. &#5505128;e loss of so many members makes it neces
sary to review the aims and goals of &#7602280;is auxiliary.
The Church is God's fold for the protection and safety of &#7602280;e sheep.
We have_ learned, however, &#7602280;at being i&#7471220; the fold does not, in itself, in
sure a member aga&#6881390;st des&#7602290;uction.
.
&#5505128;e shepherds,_ or pastors, must be
on the job • at all times with love • and compassion for the fl&#7274595;k. &#5505128;ey

42 MI&#5111893;TES OF T&#4718661; 65TH &#9371811;AL ASSE&#5046338;LY
have the assistance of the . band lead&#6619250;s, and &#7602280;e numb&#6619250; of , memb&#6619250;s
on each band is small enough that none should be able to. go &#6357107;&#7602290;ay,wi&#7602280;
out their trouble or discouragement being detected before it is too late.
But, u&#7209068;ess the pastor and band leaders have the spirit of love and com-
passion, this watchful care may be neglected.
·Negligence, in the work -of the Assembly Band Movement, allows a
failing ·member ·to stray so far away before he r&#6619235;eives attention that it
is hard, if not impossible, to save him. It is good to remember &#7602280;at &#7602280;e
same scripture •Which· says, "Obey· them that have the rule over you ... "
also says, "; .. t&#11862074;ey watch for your souls ... " and &#7602280;ey " ... must
give account .. · . -l' (Hebrews 13:17) I wonder if a satisfactory account
could be given of· ali the souls that have b&#6619237;n tu&#7471214;ed out· of &#7602280;e· Church.
It is serious to think about.
After Jesus spoke of the shepherd leaving the ninety and nine and
going to seek &#7602280;e one lost sheep, He said, "Even so it is not &#7602280;e will of
your Father which is in heaven, that one of &#7602280;ese' lit&#7602284;e ones should
perish." He carefully outlined &#7602280;e steps to be taken in dealing wi&#7602280; an
erring brother or sister:
"Moreover if thy bro&#7602280;er sha&#7077996; trespass against thee, go and tell him
his fault between thee and him • alone: if he shall hear &#7602280;ee, thou hast
gained thy brother.
"But if _he will not hear thee, &#7602280;en take with thee. one or two more,
that in the mouth of two or three wi&#7602286;esses every word may be estab-
lished.
. "And if he shall negl&#6619235;t to hear them, tell it unto the church: but if
he neglect to hear the church, let him be unto &#7602280;ee as an heathen man and a
publican.
, :"Verily I say unto you, &#5701736;atsoever ye shall bind on ear&#7602280; shall be
bound in heaven: and whatsoever ye shall loose on earth shall be loosed
in heaven." (Matthew 18:15-18)
This is serious business! It should always be approached in the com
passionate spirit of the seeking shepherd, determined to save rather. than
to disfellowship .
. "Again I say unto you, That if two of you sha&#7077996; a&#6750322;ee on ear&#7602280; as. to"ch
ing any thing &#7602280;at they shall ask, it shall be done for them of my Fa
ther which is in heaven." (Mat&#7602280;ew 18:19)
This verse is used quite freely with refer&#6619246;ce to prayer in general, but
why not give it special emphasis in connection wi&#7602280; .. the keeping of our
members. Why not t&#6815849;nk of the two who shall a&#6750322;ee as being &#7602280;e pas
tor and the band leader, and saving the member. as the thing they a&#6750322;ee
upon. Jesus said it is not the Father's will that one of &#7602280;ese little ones
should perish, and since He declares that whatever the two sha&#7077996; a&#6750322;ee
upon shall be done, it seems like it should be a rare thing for us to lose
a member &#6684786;om &#7602280;e Church.
There is a difference be&#7602295;een a member &#7602290;es.spassing or being ov&#6619250;
taken in a fault, and a &#3801197;ember falling into here&#6881324;y and refusing to be
admonished. Paul tells us, "A man &#7602280;at is an heretick after . &#7602280;e &#6684777;rst and

MI&#5111893;TES OF. THE 65TH &#9371811;AL ASSEMBLY 43
second admonition reject; Knowing that he that is su,c&#6422572;.,is subverted, and
sinneth, being condemned of himself." (Titus 3:l!&#3866807;·,11). Many times a
good member could be saved from fal&#7077993;ng into heresy by giving him &#7602280;e
prop
.
er attention and admonition the moment it is known that •
·
&#6357050; false
teacher is &#7602290;oubling him.
I am afraid not enough effort is being made to save our people from
backsliding, or to_;restore those 'who have failed. It takes constant com
munion with God in prayer and the study of &#7602280;e Word to keep that' mel
low spirit that refuses . to let a soul &#3866794;e lost. If we allow other ,interests
to crowd us, and fail to Spend enough time in prayer, we lose &#7602280;at' tender
feeling. Our eyes become dry, and we lack long&#7536757;ffering and mercy. It
would be better to follow &#3014740;ude&#2555950;s instructions:
• • •
•
"But ye, beloved, building up you:qielves on your most holy fai&#7602280;, praying
in the Holy Ghost,
• •
"Keep. yourselves in �he l,ove of God, looking for . the mercy of our
Lord Jesus Christ unto ete&#13828314; life ..
"And of s&#6488169;me have compassion, making a difference:
"And others save with fear, pulling them out of &#7602280;e &#6684777;re; hating even
the garment spotted by the flesh." (Jude 20-23)
.Personal dislikes and prejudices should not be used .as reasons for tu&#7471214;
ing people out of the Church, nor to influence o&#7602280;ers in that direction.
Love and compassion will suffer long and will cause these same p&#6619247;
ple to hold on for the person to be given another ch&#6357102;ce.. It is our busi
ness to persuade people to pray through and be on &#6684789;-e for God. • &#5505128;en
they will forgive and make th&#6881390;gs right, rather than judge and cond&#6619245;n.
The love of G&#7274596; can reach deeper than the lowest hell-but we will have
to m&#6357102;ifest this love and get it to people. Only when reproach is ruin
ing the Church and reflecting . on the glory. of God should a soul be dis
fellowshipped.
• As I said, .. we: have been . teaching and preaching these things for years,
but it is time to· stir ourselves and inject new life and vigor &#6881390;to our
Assembly Band Movement work and the saving of our precious mem
bers. &#5701736;atever it takes to bring this about should be done, sparing no
pains. A soul is just too precious to be handled carelessly and dealt
with mechanically.
This does not mean that we should tolerate sin without taking a&#7209081;
action against it, but by being more alert, and taking things in time, we
can eliminate the sin and save the member. For years every Bible &#5505138;ain
ing Institute student has been taught that the glory of God, the purity
of the Church, and &#7602280;e good of the member are all to be taken into con
sideration in deal&#6881390;g with the backslider. Following up &#7602280;ese objectives
in the fear of the Lord should make our efforts more effective &#7602280;an they
have been in the past.
THE CHURCH'S C'ANGELISTIC RESPONSIBILITY
For years, we have included in o&#7667826; annual Assembly Minutes a sec
tion entitled ."World Must Be Evangelized"; it reads:·

44 MI&#5111893;TES OF THE 65TH AN&#5111893;AL ASSE&#5046338;LY
"It will take g&#7274607;d organization and systematic me&#7602280;ods to ac
complish &#7602280;is task.
"God's power is demonstrated in proportion to &#7602280;e unity and
oneness of His people.
"&#5505128;e members of the early Church were all of one accord,
steadfast in the apostles' doc&#7602290;ine and fellowship, and the multi
tude &#7602280;at believed were of one he&#6357106;t and one soul, and &#6750322;eat
&#6750322;ace was upon &#7602280;em all, and mi&#6750312;ty results followed as a conse
quence of their perfect unity and careful organization.
"We must banish from our minds the thou&#6750306;ts of individual
or local independence and haphazard spasmodic efforts.
"Pull toge&#7602280;er, 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."
These are good instructions. They recognize the need for good organi
zation and systematic methods, with the involvement of every mem
ber of the Church in our evangelis&#7602281;c efforts. &#5505128;ey acknowledge the value
of Church-wide prayer to gain results. We may have taken for granted
that &#7602280;ese things were being done, wi&#7602280;out actually taking positive steps
to bring &#7602280;em about.
During the last few years, the General Overseer's office has promoted
evangelism and encouraged a greater interest in revivals in several ways
-the appoin&#3211373;ent of general and world evangelists, the institution of the
prayer crusade and visitation pro&#6750322;am, water baptism and addition to
the Church campai&#6750318;, new ho&#3801197;e-prayer mee&#7602281;ng campai&#6750318;, &#6357102;d Church
wide revivals. Yet, with all ·these &#6357102;d promo&#7602281;ng this work in the An
nual Address practically every year, &#7602280;e results are disappoin&#6881506;g.
&#5505128;e Church-wide revival campaigns that have been conducted for the
past three years have shown favorable results, but, considering the mul
tiplied millions of souls who need a real experience of Bible salvation,
our revivals have not been the mighty conquest we have hoped and
prayed for. In 1970, 684 reports received from Spiritual Conquest revivals
show:
New Peopl&#5963980;31,747
Saved-4,005
Sancti&#6684777;ed-2,568
Holy Ghost-1,549
Baptized in Water-1,801
Added to the Church-1,474
The Bible shows our duty clearly, and it seems we must search out
and institute a plan throu&#6750312; which to give meaning and motivation to
our evangelistic endeavors. Some believe we may have -given more at
tention to other phases • of our work by creat&#6881390;g speci&#6684777;c depar&#7602285;ents for

MI&#5111893;&#4522151; OF THE 65TH &#9371811;AL ASSE&#5046338;LY 45
their promotion. Consideration has been &#6750313;ven to a Department of· Ev&#7209160;el
ism, with a general director to promote &#7602280;is work in much &#7602280;e same
way the other depar&#7602285;ents are set up.
This approach might result in more of a coordinated evangelistic ef
fort throughout the Church (1) by a closer relationship with our evan
gelists, (2) by assisting the overseers in obtaining evangelists, (3) by
encouraging and enhancing the evangelistic minis&#7602290;y, ( 4) by providing
materials and &#6684777;`U_U2#"for effective evangelism, and (5) by working
toward a systematic &#6684777;nancial plan for those who desire to give more time
to revival work.
Some duties of a full-time director would include: (1) developing a
uni&#6684777;ed Church-wide program of evangelism, (2) keeping in close con
tact with evangelists, (3) assisting the General Overseer in Church-wide
evangelistic endeavors, ( 4) conducting training sessions for all phases of
evangelism, (5) preparing needed, printed materials for evangelism and
revivals, (6) assisting overseers in organizing evangelism pro&#6750322;ams, (7)
conducting city-wide and area revivals, as well as training evangelists
in this work, (8) speaking for and helping provide speakers for camp
meetings, (9) providing helps for Child Evangelism and Children's Church,
(10) stimulating general Church interest in reaching the lost with &#7602280;e
message of Christ and the Church, and (11) helping to give a more gen
eral coverage to our unreached territories.
&#5505128;e evangelists would send reports of revival results to the director's
office where &#7602280;ey would be. compiled and given to the &#4259955;sistant Editor for
the White Wing Me&#7536755;enger.
It would be the responsibility of this department to not only promote
soul winning, but also the message of one Church for all, One of &#7602280;e
primary obj&#6619235;tives would be to help make the world co&#7209075;cious of God's
plan to gather in one fold all the children of God who are scattered abroad.
This depar&#7602285;ent would be responsible to present a balanced m&#6619251;sage
of the entire commission given to the Church.
I &#6357101; asking the Questions and Subjects Co&#7143533;ittee to give the subject
of evangelism their most careful consideration, and bring a recommenda
tion before this &#4259955;sembly with respect to the advancement of our so&#7667820;
winning efforts. This matter deserves the sincere prayers of the en
tire membership, as well as of the Committee.
OUR ASSEMBLY TABERNACLE
It is felt that our people are entitled to know &#7602280;at the World Head
quarters Co&#7209075;truction Committee is going ahead with the proposed pl&#6357102;s
for a new &#4259955;sembly Tabernacle on the Keith Street property in Cleve
land. Some mention has been made that a tabe&#7209171;cle will never be built.
This may be the personal feeling of some, but we, who are responsi
ble, are planning and working in accordance wi&#7602280; the acti&#7274606; of the Gen
eral Assembly. I do not see how we can afford to do otherwise, con
sidering what is on record.
In the 61st &#4259955;sembly in 1966, the recommendation was made and ac
cepted that &#7602280;e Assemblies should not be moved (permanen&#7602284;y) from the
Cleveland area, and that a Tabe&#7471214;acle Committee be appointed to make
an exhaustive s&#7667826;vey conce&#7209179;ng the remodeling of our present tab&#6619250;
nacle or rel&#7274595;ating in Cleveland.

We know &#7602280;at Cleveland, Tennessee is not Jep+^F#"but it is the lo
cation of the one General • Headquarters of the Church of God in these
last days. Some speak lightly and jestingly about our going up to Je
rusalem .. with reference to our General Headquarters or our General As
sembly.. I believe • most of our people understand that this reference is
used in the same way we speak of Zion as the Church. Since • it is
thought disrespectful to jest about Zion as referring to the Church of God,
why wouldn't it be disrespect&#6684789;l to jest about Jep+^#"as· typifying
our General Headquarters at Cleveland, Tennessee?
In the Old Testame nt, r^ +alem_·was often-·spoken :of as
a chosen city. On one occasion, the Lord, &#7602280;rough the prophet, .. spoke
of 1t as • ". . . the city which I have chos&#6619246; out of a&#7077996; 'the tribes of
Israel." (1 Kings 11:32) One of David's songs says, "I was glad when
they said unto me, Let us • go into the house of the Lord .• Our feet shall
stand within thy gates, 0 Jep+^#"Jep+^#"is builded as a city that
is compact together: Whither the &#7602290;ibes go up; the &#7602290;ibes of &#7602280;e Lord, unto
the testimony of Israel, to give thanks unto &#7602280;e name of the Lord . ., &#2621486;Psalm
122:1-4) Isaiah 31:9 tells us that the Lord's " ... &#6684777;re is in Zion
.
(the
Church)
1
and his furnace (the place where &#7602280;e &#6684777;re b&#14876901;) in Jep+^m."
We are not &#7602290;ying to indicate that Cleveland
·
is the holy city of these
last days, but is a fact that the Lord still works in ways that-cannot
be understood, except by faith. &#5505128;is is . &#7602280;e way we accept &#7602280;e inspiration
oL the Bible, and. that is the way we have to -accept condi&#7602281;ons today.
The same. Holy Ghost that guides us today guided our fathers. of sixty,
forty, or thirty years ago. They felt" His unction, and moved and spoke
accordingly. &#13959412; father said, "I fully believe ·&#7602280;at God, by His Spirit and
providences has located us here. Why not &#7602280;ink of it in that way? We
have not &#7602290;ied to establish ourselves here and build up something great
for ourselves. ,But God has kept working, here a· little,· and there a lit
tle, as spoken by &#7602280;e prophet, until we are here as you see now today."
Now. some., &#7602280;irty· years later, our Headquarters is still at Cleveland,
Tennessee, and though, as my father said, we have not tried to estab
lish ourselves there, who can say that the Lord has. not established us
there?" Since .our. Headquarters· is there, it seems .only reasonable that
our Assemblies should remain &#7602280;ere. That is the recommendation &#7602280;at
was accepted, and that is &#7602280;e plan .. we have been working on the past ·&#7602280;ree
years .
. The Ways and· Means Committee outlined the financial pla&#7209018;-for the
raising • of funds for. the Tabernacle, and· &#14352602; of our people have been
working faithfully.· We have no authority· to do othepU^vthough we
do not force. our people to-. do· things. However, many of" us ·have' learned
&#7602280;at we· feel better in:·6ur souls -when we go along &#4849797;th &#7602280;e ·Assembly's
reco&#7143533;endations.

48 MINUTES OF THE 65TH &#4259918;NUAL ASS&#5046407;LY
The plan is for portions of the CPMA and certain other funds to be
desi&#6750318;ated as Tab&#7471315;acle . Funds:
1. Not less than 50 percent of CPMA memberships each year, after 10
percent is dedu&#7602376;d for Ministerial Aid;
2. Fifty percent of the CPMA state convention offerings which pres-
ently remain in the state &#7602290;easury;
3. Ten percent of state and national convention offerings and Assem
bly offerings of the Orphanage and Bible Training Institute; and 10 per
cent of national and international accounts of Ministerial Aid and Missio&#7209075;.
&#5505128;e Assembly has encouraged that additional plans be suggested by
the World Headquarters Construction Committee, as well as by individ
uals, for &#7602280;e payments on the property.
There has been a considerable increase in CPMA memberships since
this plan was instituted. The other offerings have also been increas&#6619236;.
I feel that many of our people have been working fai&#7602280;fully with &#7602280;e
thought in mind that they were helping to enlarge the Tabe&#7471214;acle Fund,
as well as working for the auxiliaries. The fund has increased to con
siderably over a quarter of a million dollars. As recommended by &#7602280;e
63rd Assembly, this money is in savings accounts and is drawing interest
for us to increase the Fund.
With such evidence of God's blessings, it seems that all we need now is
100 percent cooperation-everyone supporting the plan that has been
adopted and accomplishing it for &#7602280;e glory of God.
A GOOD REPORT OF THEM WITHOUT
One of &#7602280;e quali&#6684777;cations for the office of a bishop in &#7602280;e Church, as
given by Pa&#7667820; and Timothy, is: "Moreover he must have a g&#7274607;d rep&#7274610;t
of them which are without; lest he fall into reproach and the snare of
the devil." (1 Timothy 3:7)
Since the bishops and deacons rank higher in the ministry, according
to the Scriptures, • it seems to indicate that these have reached a place
of con&#6684777;d&#6619246;ce in the eyes of &#7602280;e local church and the presbytery and are
considered dependable examples for all to follow. &#5505128;e quali&#6684777;cations of
a bishop are not set forth with &#7602280;e thought in mind that they alone should
meet that standard, but that all ministers, and members, should strive
for &#7602280;e same goal.
Att&#6619246;tion is called to this requirement because reproach has fallen on
some of our local churches due to ministers being careless in some ways.
Our ministers have been admonished through the years never to move
away from a town or community leaving debts unsatis&#6684777;ed. We have tried
to point out &#7602280;e reproach this leaves on &#7602280;e minister's record, b&#6619235;ause
&#7602280;e report will eventually follow him to o&#7602280;er l&#7274595;alities. The reproach
also fa&#7077996;s on the local church, because businessmen and citize&#7209075; of the
community have a tendency to judge the members of a church, or the
Church in general, by its m&#6881390;isters. In spite of the admonitions that have
been given, it seems necessary to repeat &#7602280;em.
Reports keep reaching us about ministers moving away without pay
i&#7209063; the&#6881394; debts, and without making any arrangement to pay them &#6881390; the
future. Unexpected expenses may put a minister in a hard place at times,
so that he &#6684777;nds himself unable to meet his obligatio&#7209075; according to sched
ule, but most creditors will be understanding and lenient if they know
the case and are assured of the debt being paid.

MINUTES OF THE 65TH ANNUAL ASSEMBLY 49
Paying our just and honest debts is one of &#7602280;e &#6684777;rst marks of honor
and uprightness in the public mind. People who know very little about
how a Christian should live know that honesty is to. be expected. Since
the minister is there to direct the soul-winning .endeavors of the Church,
the testimony of that local church, even through its membership, is sadly
hindered through a loss of con&#6684777;dence.
In many places, the members, and the incoming pastors, have worked
hard to pay off these unsatis&#6684777;ed debts in order to remove the reproach.
This is highly commendable, but it in no way settles the account as far
as that minister who owes the debt is concerned. His "good report of
them which are without" is lost in that community. He has also lost his
good report within the Church, and soon his services will no longer be
sought.
Paul wa&#7471214;s that the things which make a bad report without will cause
an individual to fall into reproach and the snare of the devil. In order
to preserve and retain his ministry, it would be necessary for him to
acknowledge his carelessness and do every&#7602280;ing in his power to set the
record straight. He should do his best to go back and pay his debts, or
repay those who have borne his reproach by paying them for him.
It is wise to look ahead and keep our standard of living near the level
of our income. Times are prosperous, and some may be tempted to go
too deeply in debt to have the things others have. But, &#7602280;ose things do
not give much consolation when it is realized that their price has left
them with a dishonest report. &#5505128;e Lord will prosper those who have to
make some sacri&#6684777;ces if they will continue to walk in His fear and honor
His name.
THE CHURCH'S FINANCIAL SYSTEM
The &#6684777;nancial system used by the Church is the result of many years
of planning and development. Additions and changes have been made as
the gove&#7209183;ent of the Church has increased, and as the economy and
living standards of this and other nations have made them necessary. &#4784238;
the early years of the last-days Church, much prayer and searching the
Scriptures went into the system, and mention was frequently made of
a desire to &#6684777;nd the perfect system according to the Bible. This point may
not have been reached, but we have done rather well, and the Lord has
blessed us.
Finan&#6488123;e is a complex subject, and the most capable and e&#6684774;icient au
thorities of the world have been &#7667822;able to come up with a system suit
able to the needs of every individual or group.
Many things are in line with the Scriptures. Tithing and giving are
supported so strongly in the Word that they have been one of our twenty
nine prominent teachings almost &#6684786;om the be&#6750313;nning. It was one of the
twenty-&#6684777;ve agreed upon in the Sixth Assembly in 1911. The helps and
governments, including the auxiliaries, have been set in the Ch&#7667826;ch
through the years, and came to us by the inspiration of God and . the
unction of the Holy Ghost at the time each was accepted by &#7602280;e Assembly,
along wi&#7602280; the &#6684777;nancial responsibility connected wi&#7602280; each depar&#7602285;ent.
In the broad scope of our system, we feel that we have stayed &#7274606; solid
ground.

50 MI&#5111893;&#5505093;S OF THE 65TH A&#5111971;AL &#4259923;SE&#5046338;LY
There seeems to be a &#6750322;owing concern among some of our ministers
regarding certain phases of our overal
l
&#6684777;nancial practices. In &#6357102; effort
to make adjus&#7602285;ents, a few states, and possibly some local churches,
have devised plans of &#7602280;eir own. We would not want to say &#7602280;at &#7602280;ere
has been any intention of violating the &#4259955;sembly's recommendations, but
this seems to have been the result. It may seem trivial, but the gov
ernment of the Church being a theocracy, there is always &#6750322;ave danger
of provoking &#7602280;e Lord to withhold His favor and blessings when we dis
regard the gove&#7209183;ent as admi&#7209065;stered through the General Assembly.
Since practices of this kind have a·
.
tendency to spread to other states
and churches, we would advise that each responsible overseer &#6357102;d pastor
check on the &#6881492;ancial practices where he works, and do all in his power
to confo&#7471213; to the Assembly's recommenda&#7602281;ons.
To say &#7602280;at &#7602280;ere are inconsistencies in the present &#6684777;nancial plan would
be more a matter of personal opinion, or the opinion of only a part of
the Church's membership. Without an overall understanding of the vari
ous needs and problems, it would be impossible for any • individual or
group to judge the consistency of our present plan.
&#5505128;e committee &#7602280;at has brought &#7602280;e numerous recommendations be
fore the Assembly through the years has had a good understanding .of
the conditions existing in the many areas where we have churches. &#5505128;ey
are also acquainted with the sources and amounts of &#6684777;nance available
for the Church's use. Committee members have served &#6684786;om the different
levels of Church function, and different l&#7274595;ali&#7602281;es. If any inconsistencies
exist, they are possibly the result of limitations beyond our control, con
sidering the funds available.
I feel it would be for the good of the Church of God &#7602280;at we take heed
to an error made by the early Church which con&#7602290;ibuted to its division
and eventually to the falling away. &#5505128;eir error was the failure to main
tain one central headquarters with all local churches ever&#7929975;here be
ing subject to it through the Assemblies. &#5505128;ey departed from the theo
cratic order, and weakened the whole Church through conflicting prac
tices and disrespect for God's constituted authority. In all go&#7274596; con
science, we must refuse to submit to any s&#6881389;ilar influence in &#7602280;e last
days Church.
In our nation's poli&#7602281;cal system, there have been at least two major
parties a&#7077997;ost from &#7602280;e beginning. As a part of party policy, one party
contends for a strong central gove&#7209183;ent, and &#7602280;e other contends for
s&#7602290;ong state government. For a gove&#7209183;ent of the people, by the peo
ple, and for the people, that system has worked very well. God's the
ocracy is the government of God for His people, and His holy na&#7602281;on is
only as strong as its General A&#7536755;embly, which is the highest trib&#7209174;l of
authority for the Church.
Although General Headquarters and the l&#7274595;al churches are dependent
in a measure upon one ano&#7602280;er, no l&#7274595;al &#6488168;urch could exist officially
without the proper connection wi&#7602280; Headquarters. There could be a type
of independent func&#7602281;on for a while, but it would be similar to a cell
in the human body which refuses to operate no&#7471213;ally and either dies or
becomes cancerous. &#4784238; &#7602280;e long &#7471221;n, a local ch&#7667826;ch is strong and healthy
in proportion to its loyalty to the central gove&#7209183;ent.

MINUTES OF THE 65TH ANNUAL ASSEMBLY 51
The Church's cen&#7602290;al government began with only one local church
and it would continue as long as there was one loyal local church.
Any finance coming to Headquarters is for the support, streng&#7602280;ening,
and advancement of the Church world-wide. Our commission is to go
into all the world. Every church that is already established is consid
ered a part of the force to make this possible. It makes its force effective
only by directing a l&#6357106;ge measure of its strength &#7602280;rough one common
channel-General Headquarters. Outside of the limited &#6684777;eld of a nation,
state, or local church, our major outreach depends on the General Church,
both in the apportioning of the required &#6684777;nance and in main&#21365053;g unity
in doctrine and practice among all local churches everywhere.
With &#7602280;ese considerations, and with due resp&#6619235;t for the concern which
some are feeling, it may be in the interest of the Church in general to
appoint a &#6684777;nancial study board to carefully analyze our pres&#6619246;t system
for one year, and present a full and detailed report to the General Over
seer's office before the next Assembly. This board could consist of the.
chairman of the General Assembly Ways and Means Committee, mem
bers of the General Headquarters Staff, state or national Overseers, pas
tors, laymen-or some similar arrangement. The Questions and Subjects
Committee may bring a recommendation before this Assembly with re
spect to this suggestion.
It would be advisable for every state, l&#7274595;al ch&#7667826;ch, minister, and m&#6619245;
ber to render faithful loyalty to our present system, to &#6881390;sure the ad
vancement of the Church in its world-wide responsibility.
Interesting Information
Comparison of o&#7667826; work &#7602280;is year to &#7602280;at of 1969. A decrease shows
that we have not accomplished as much this year as we did last year.

62 MINUTES OF T&#4718661; 65TH ANNUAL ASSEMBLY
CONCLUSION
Realizing that we still have a great work before us, and a host of
members who have committed themselves by covenant to strive toge&#7602280;er
as one great body in performing &#7602280;e task, I will conclude with a few
more words about Faithfulne&#7536755;.
It is wonderful to read of Abraham's faith, and rejoice about the great
line of faithful heroes who took up the torch one after another, leav
ing a record to encourage us, and a patte&#7471214; to follow. However, ano&#7602280;er
record could be shown of many who failed and were unable to enter into
their reward wi&#7602280; hope because of &#7602280;eir unbelief, or their unfai&#7602280;f&#7667820;ness.
When the work is finished, and the recor&#6553715; are revealed, none of us
will want to be numbered among the unfai&#7602280;ful.
Some of those in the Scriptures were side&#7602290;acked easily. &#5505128;e failure
began with impatience and dissa&#7602281;sfaction. They felt &#7602280;ings should be
different; that those in au&#7602280;ority should follow some other course; or that
the way was too straight and required more d&#6619236;ication and consecration
than they deemed necessary. Some turned back; o&#7602280;ers conspired to take
matters into their own hands and force their will, regardless· of the warn
ings of God-fearing men who watched for their souls.
Perhaps we would be less fearful about some of the trends of our time
if the New Testament did not so boldly declare, " ... these things hap
pened unto them for ensamples: and they are written for our admo&#7209065;
tion, upon whom the ends of the world are come." (1 Corin&#7602280;ians 10:11)
Then the Apostle gives a warning: "&#5701736;erefore let him that thinketh he
standeth &#7602273;ke heed lest he fall." (1 Corinthians 10:12)
It is possible to be enveloped in many things &#7602280;at would hinder us.
We may place our dependence in these &#7602280;ings. Some may be good, pro
viding we know how and when to make use of them. But these same
th&#6881390;gs could destroy us if we a&#7077996;ow them to replace faith in God. We
stand by faith. We walk by faith. Our &#6684777;ght is the good &#6684777;ght of faith. It
is by &#7602280;e shield of faith that we will be able to quench &#7602280;e &#6684777;ery darts
of the wicked.
There is a place in our program for material things&#2949165;wealth, houses
and lands, knowledge and education, talent and ability. &#5505128;ese are all
devices that help or hinder us. They are temporal and must give way to
things eternal.
&#5505128;e song says, "This world is not my home; I'm just a-passing through.
My treasures are laid up somewhere beyond &#7602280;e blue." &#5505128;e chorus of
ano&#7602280;er wonderful h&#7929965;n says, "I don't want to get adjusted to &#6815965;s world,
to this world; I've got a home that's so much better, I want to go &#7602280;ere
sooner or later; I don't want to get adjusted to &#7602280;is world."
There is more than one way to miss the mark. We can become so set
tled and satis&#6684777;ed with the comforts of this world that heaven is not as
enticing as it once was, and we become se&#7077990;-centered and unconce&#7471214;ed
about &#7602280;e work of the Lord. Faith is not exercised because we can tem
porarily lean on &#7602280;e t&#6815849;ngs that are seen. Pa&#7667820; said &#7602280;at &#7602280;e thin&#6750323; &#7602280;at
are seen are temporal, but &#7602280;e things that are not seen are ete&#7471214;al. It
is dangerous to drift into a condition where we cannot look beyond &#7602280;is
life to &#7602280;e et&#7471315;al joys.

MI&#17563906; OF THE 65TH ANNUAL ASSE&#5046338;LY 63
We could miss the mark by confusing our minds with worldly wisdom
and &#7602280;e theories of men. Some have lost their way by contending for
literal explanations of spiritual matters that God has not seen &#6684777;t &#7602287; un
fold. &#5505128;e Word says: " ... wi&#7602280;out faith it is impossible to please him:
for he &#7602280;at cometh to God must believe &#7602280;at he is, and &#7602280;at he is a re
warder of them that diligently seek him." (Hebrews 11:6)
Since we cannot come to God except by faith, and since by faith we
believe that He is, surely we can trust Him for the things we c&#7209167;ot
understand. There is a great quest for knowledge and understanding in
the world today. The Bible encourages &#7602280;e children of God to seek knowl
edge, and study to show themselves approved unto God. This can be
overdone by pursuing the wrong things. The wise Solomon says: "And
further, by these, my son, be admonished: of making many books there
is no end; and much study is a weariness of the flesh." &#5505128;&#6619246; he con
cludes his &#6684777;ndings: "Let us hear the conclusion of &#7602280;e whole matter: Fear
God, and keep his commandmen ts: for this is the whole duty of man."
(Ecclesiastes 12:12, 13)
The fear of the Lord is &#7602280;e beginning of wisdom and knowledge. &#5505128;is
indicates that without the fear of God we ca&#7209070;ot even begin to learn
the things that are really important. It further indicates that &#7602280;e duty of
man from be&#13959383;ing to end is to keep this fear, regardless of advancemen&#7602291;.
Thousands of books have been writ&#7602277;n in an effort to • de&#6881492;e God, to
explain his mysteries, to provide a reasonable explanation for His mir
acles from the creation to the resurrection. Too much s&#7602293;dy on &#7602280;ese
matters is a weariness of the flesh; it hinders faith. It limits God and de
mands that He reduce everything to the level of man's &#7602280;inking. But
God is in&#6684777;nite. Many things about Him cannot be understood by the
mortal mind. He has led His Ch&#7667826;ch along to where we are today wi&#7602280;
a Mighty hand. • Some of His dealings with us have been too great to
fully understand. Others have seemed so simple that the wise and pru
dent are beginning to stumble over them. Only those who are able to
accept &#7602280;&#6619251;e things by faith will make it through.
Some&#7602281;mes, individuals, or groups, decide that, because of other men's
writings and interpretations, &#7602280;ey cannot accept the Church's revela&#7602281;on,
doctrine, and practices. So, they tu&#7471214; aside. When &#7602280;is happens, it brings
the fear of the Lord on the Church as a whole, and causes the members
to rededicate themselves to the d&#7274595;trine we have stood for these many
years.
Precious members of &#7602280;e Church of God, stand fast in the fai&#7602280;. Do
not allow impatience and dissa&#7602281;sfaction to &#7602293;rn you aside. Re-affirm your
con&#6684777;dence in the promises of God and the vision we are preaching. G&#6881394;d
up your loins as men and women determined to run the race. Set your
faces like a flint toward the Church's &#6684777;nal goal. Bow low in humil
ity, but stand tall in fai&#7602280;, and let this old world know we mean to stay
on &#7602280;e battlefield for Christ and His Church un&#7602281;l He calls us away to
that great marriage in the air. Hallelujah!
Now, in &#7602280;e spirit of the faithful, let us stand as one &#6750322;eat united B&#6553832;
and sing o&#7667826; battle song-"At the Battle's &#4587634;ont."

64 MINUTES OF THE 65TH ANNUAL ASSE&#5046338;LY
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 s&#7602290;uggle &#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 &#7602280;e army
The triumph shouting, the foe we're rou&#7602281;ng;
Hear the &#7602290;amp! tramp! tramping of the army
Marching on to victory.
I'm in this army, this glorious army,
And the &#4653167;d 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 &#7667822;furled,
Full salvation proclaim to a sinful dying world:
Tho' the darts thick and fast from the enemy be hurled,
At the front of the battle you will &#6684777;nd me.
Is your name, friend, enrolled with the loyal ones and &#7602290;ue?
Will you dare now to stand with the Saviour's faithful few?
Will you join with me now and &#7602280;e covenant renew?
At the front of the battle you will &#6684777;nd me.

1:45 Let's Compare Mark 13:10 with Matthew 24:14-message by James
B. Wright, World Lan&#6684777;+\X#"Secretary. Excerpts:
"Preach the gospel and publish the gospel are syno&#7930075;ous terms and
these two verses of Scripture were referring to what Jesus had been
telling His disciples-the what, when, and where of something. &#5505128;e

MINUTES OF THE 65TH A&#5111886;UAL ASSEMBLY 65
what, the gospel must be preached; when, before the ret&#7471331; of the Lord;
where, among all nations, or in all the world. Publish means to make
known or a&#7209070;ounce publicly; proclaim; to reveal &#7602280;e secret of hidden
things. To preach or to publish is to make known the gospel. T
r
ans
lating and printing is merely preparing &#7602280;e gospel to be published. Pub
lishing it includes the translating, the printing, and the distributing of
the gospel, as well as preaching the Word.
"Colossians 1:23 shows that the early Church preached the gospel all
over the world that was known at &#7602280;at time. Our job is much greater
because the inhabitants of the world are much more numerous now than
they were then. 'The Lord gave the word: great was the company of
those that published it.' Psalm 68:11. Great was &#7602280;e company, or great
was the army of evangelists; not just an army of printers. Both print
ers and carriers of the message. When you talk about an army you &#7602280;ink
of training, skill, orderliness and soldiers. This Word which the Lord
gave was published by an orderly company, by a trained company, by
a company that has skill and by a company that is under orders to go
forth and distribute the message. A man &#7602280;at is going to carry this
gospel and be one of these soldiers during this warfare will not entangle
himself with the affairs of this lif&#2949266;2 Timothy 2:4.
"Manners of publishing &#7602280;e gospel: &#6684777;rst, and foremost, is going in
person to preach and deliver the message; another way is to broadcast
it over the radio, or television; then, the printed messag&#2949266;tracts and
other literature. Whe&#7602280;er we preach mouth-to-mouth, by radio or tele
vision, or send the message by the printed page, it has to be in the lan
)\h#Uof the people in order to do them any good. Litera&#7602293;re is one
of the greatest means or the best means we have at this moment in
spreading ·&#7602280;e gospel. However, tracts on o&#7667826; shelves, or at the Publish
ing House, will not reach the minds and hearts of the people. We should
not fear so much about wasting a few tracts. It is cheaper to put them
out and win a few souls than to hold them back and win no souls,
even if a whole lot of them go down the drain.
"The secret of the accomplishment of our commission resides in our
capacity to publish our knowledge of God's &#7602290;u&#7602280;. The Church spent
many precious years in searching out and finding &#7602280;e present tru&#7602280; as we
know it today. Some feel that inspiration and unction were just to
tide the Church preachers over until the time when we could be edu
cated and then we wouldn't need it any longer. Education is like an
automobile; it's a wonderful servant when you keep it under control and
make it serve you. But, when it masters you, it is a terrible tyrant.
I'm in favor of education and better qualifying ourselves; but, never
let any man think that for one moment he can &#6684777;nd anything &#7602280;at will
substitute inspiration and unction of the Holy Ghost; nothing!"

2:32 &#5505128;e White Wing Publishing House Financial Report by Pe&#7471218;y E.
Gillum, Manager, was accepted as read:
Financial Statement of the
White Wing Publishing House and Press
To the 65&#7602280; Annual Assembly, Greetings:
&#5505128;e following report is submitted on the basis of the &#6684777;nancial audit
performed by Randolph & Kersey, public acco&#7667822;ting &#6684835;rm, Cleveland, Ten
nessee, and was prepared from our records in the Accounting Depar&#7602285;ent.
For each m&#6619245;ber of the Church to better understand the facts and
&#6684777;gures of &#7602280;is audit, I felt it good as Business Manager to add my per,
sonal appraisal of your publishing house.
This year (1969-70) is the &#6684777;rst full-production year since &#7602280;e &#7602290;agic &#6684777;re of
1967. During &#7602280;is period of rec&#7274606;struction of facilities and business opera
tional guidelines, the publishing house has steadily increased its sales and ef
ficiency.
The total sales of the publishing house this year was $652,013.13, which
indicates an increase in total sales of $145,334.83.
Every department of the publishing house is showing an increase in
sales. An increase in sales does not necessarily mean an increase in
net pro&#6684777;&#7602291;. In order to have net pro&#6684777;t, the publishing house must main
tain good balance of building and general adminis&#7602290;ative expenses. &#5505128;is
we have done and the pro&#6684777;ts received for the Church &#6357106;e very good.
&#5505128;is year, your publishing house net pro&#6684777;t totals $48,825.52.
It has been our constant drive, since becoming Business Manager, to
establish and maintain bus&#6881390;ess operational guidelines which produce good
net pro&#6684777;ts for &#7602280;e Church, as you will notice in this audit report.
New equipment added to our mode&#7471214; line this year:
HEIDELBERG OFFSET PRESS replaces the old ATF Super Chief Off
set Press. Our present press production capabilities have been increased
&#3866732;s a result of this new press.
VARITYPE is a cold-typesetting machine which increases our typesetting
efficiency.
Several pieces of equipment have been added in the Camera Depart
ment. This has quali&#6684777;ed us to produce our o&#7798894; color separations and
has added to the efficiency in this particular area of the press.
•
My appreciation to all the employees of &#7602280;e &#5701736;ite W&#6881390;g Publis&#6881494;g
House who have worked so faithfully dur&#6881390;g the past year. Wi&#7602280;out
their dedicated help, &#7602280;e publishing house could not be successfu�. I espe
cially &#7602280;ank the Executive Commi&#7602292;ee of the publishing hous&#9568346;Frank
Howard, Hank O'Neal, Joe Parker, Evelyn Gillum, Mary Jo Wright, and
Melinda Du&#7209070;-for &#7602280;eir work which contributed to &#7602280;is success&#7667922; year.
It is wi&#7602280; pleasure that I announce to this General Assembly &#7602280;at &#7602280;e
Free Literature budget remains in balance with a $5,000.00 reserve fund.

MINUTES OF THE 65TH ANNUAL ASSEMBLY 77
Report of the Church Benefit Association
To the 65th Annual Assembly of the Church of God, Greetings:
One of the ma&#6881390; purposes of the Church Bene&#6684777;t Association is to seek
for improvements in our insurance bene&#6684777;ts and service for our people
as we feel they deserve the best. It is our pleasure to report that after
several months of negotiating, we have a better plan which brings greater
bene&#6684777;ts-increased coverage for children, and level premiums and cov
erage, which is most unusual in the group insurance &#6684777;eld.
For us to achieve this new plan, it was necessary to change insurance
carriers, which was effected without any loss of bene&#6684777;ts for our people.
This change was approved by the Ministerial Aid Committee, the direct
ing body for the Church Bene&#6684777;t Association. Our new insurance car
riers, the Investors Syndicate Life of Minneapolis, Minnesota, one of the
fastest growing insurance companies in the world, in effecting this new
plan, will also keep the old plan in effect for those who do not desire
to change.
This has been an unusual year for the Association as we have had an
unprecedented number of death claims that has been the highest in the
Association's history. There were 51 death claims approved for the &#6684777;scal
year ending July 31, 1970, with a total of $60,500.00 being paid to &#7602280;e
bene&#6684777;ciaries through the Association by our underwriters. This hindered
the Association receiving a return of premium as last year.
A total of 339 death claims have been approved and $431,250.00 paid
to the bene&#6684777;ciaries since the beginning of the Association in 1961. We
now have 3,031 membership accounts, an increase of 123 over last year.
The Association has provided insurance coverage for 80 Youth Camps
an&#7471212; WiD.tP.r Retreats with a total of 6,855 campers and personnel-an in
crease over last year. A total of $3,681.29 was paid in claims for in
juries received by the campers.
We have also provided sickness and accident insurance for &#7602280;e stu
dents at Tomlinson College. There was only one claim paid during the
school year, $15.50.

3:19 A. T. Wagar was in charge of a memorial in honor of minis
ters who passed away this year. The overseers of the state/country of
the deceased ministers marched onto the platform in formati&#7274606; and stood
in honor of the deceased minister from his territory. Bro&#7602280;er Wagar
read a &#7602290;ibute to the deceased ministers; th&#6619246; he gave the name, rank,
and leng&#7602280; of service of the ministers by state/coun&#7602290;y. &#5505128;e Youth
Afl&#6357101;e Choir sang "Battle Hymn of &#7602280;e Republic." Taps was played by
Phil Barker as E. A. McDonald lowered &#7602280;e flag to half-mast and the
audience stood in a moment of silence.
Tribute To Our Deceased Ministers
The &#6684777;rst Memorial Service for our deceased fellow ministers was con
ducted in the 50th A&#7209070;ual Assembly, 1955, as our General Overseer de
sired to honor these soldiers for their valiant service to the Church by
memorializing them.
&#5505128;is is o&#7667826; Memorial Day when a grateful Church pauses to remem
ber the men and women who have given their lives in defense of the
gospel, in reaching others for Christ. It is most difficult to find appropri
ate words and means to express our true gratitude.
Only God can properly and fully reward these valiant soldiers who
were willing to be expended for the gospel. Revelation 14:13 says, ". . .
Blessed are the dead which die in &#7602280;e Lord from henceforth: yea, sai&#7602280; the
Spirit, that they may rest from their labours; and their works do fol
low &#7602280;em."
&#5505128;e realization of &#7602280;is verse was their goal. They helped to prepare
others for ete&#7471214;al life, wherein they could rest from all &#7602280;eir labours.
Now they are enjoying the life &#7602280;ey helped others to prepare for. Let
us rejoice in. our hearts that they have fought a good &#6684777;ght, they have &#6684777;n
ished their course, they have kept the faith.

4:45 The Immediate Direction of God-message by E. H. Griffi&#7602280;, Field
Secretary. Proverbs 15:22; 20:18. Excerpts:
"Purpose means design, aim, plan; counsel means mutual exchange of
advice. We must have counsel, purpose, deliberation; this is necessary
if we &#6684777;nd the direction of God. Exodus 33:13-15 gives the order ·or se
quence in which the government of God or Theocracy operates. Moses
said, 'Lord, if you don't direct me, I don't want to go.' Others may adopt
creeds and various things;· but not the. Church of God. We must follow
through on the gove&#7471214;ment of God. 'For where two or three are gath
ered together in my name, there am. I in the midst of them.' Matthew
18:20. Somebody said, 'why have committees'? It is under the immedi
ate direction of God; this is the New Testament order. They meet; they
give counsel; they give advice, but, in the &#6684777;nal decision, it must be the
immediate direction of God. Moses was under the immediate direction
of God; this plan (Exodus 18:19) that was recommended to him must
pass &#7602280;rough his hand. Every&#7602280;ing that concerns the congregation, must
pass through the General Overseer's hand. The Committees, the Gen
eral Overseer, and &#20971830;y the Assembly must &#6684777;nd the immediate direc
tion of God; then, these matters are settled. If we &#6684777;nd the will of God
through this channel, the people will leave this Assembly and go to their
place in peace-Exodus 18:23. That man sowing discord against the Gen
eral Overseer and the Assembly, he's headed for trouble. God help the
man or woman who goes con&#7602290;ary to the advice and instructions of this
Assembly. Those who are crossing the teachings of the Assembly and
its advice under the immediate direction of God, you're going to be in
trouble.''
The Holy Ghost blessed the congregation c&#3014832;d messages and interpre
tations were given con&#6684777;rming the General Overseer as the &#4980837;ader of His
Church.
"This is the way we &#6684777;nd the immediate direction of God-through
the operation of the Holy Ghost. &#5701736;at is the immedate direction of God?
If we have this order of government under &#7602280;e immediate direction of
God, all the people shall go to their place in peace. We must be flexible
that we may follow the direction of God. We must follow through on
this-the Word of God; no compromise; show love, respect; but, stand
&#6684777;rm for the truth."
The Questi&#7274606;s and Subjects Committee asked &#7602280;at Bro&#7602280;er Tomlinson
re-read the last paragraph of Section 3 in their report concerning the
Trinity. · The Holy Ghost fell and the message was interpreted: "Yea,
I am God; I have no scars in my hands; I have no scars in my sides; yea,
I have not a scratch upon me . . . my son, yea, I behold his hand is
pierced; yea his ... is pierced; yea he is my Son. I have sent. the Holy
Ghost unto thee. I did not send myself.''

6:45 Testimony of healing by Jim Seratt. God healed Bro&#7602280;er Seratt
of a four year drug addiction. At 16, he was was smoking marijuana,
taking pills, LSD, speed, and &#6684777;nally he was in jail for selling drugs. His
father is a minister in the Church and he had heard of the Lord and
the Church doctrine all his life. One night he took an LSD pill and ,he
heard a still small voice tell him " ... Jim, I have protected you . , .
watched over you for four years and kept you through those drugs; this
is your last chance." He went home that night and his mother asked
him to pray_ and ask God's forgiveness. He did and said, " ... it felt
like the door of my heart opened up and the evil force left and a beauti
ful voice came in." He read Galatians 2:20; what the hospitals couldn't
do, what the police couldn't do, God did it in one night!
7:00 Gerald Goins interviewed several people &#7602280;at had been healed by
the power of God. Brother Tomlinson led in concert prayer for a mighty
healing service.
7:26 In the Multitude She Touched Him-annual healing message by
A. W. West. Excerpts:
"Luke 8:43-48; Mark 5:24-34-this sister heard about Jesus. She had
traveled far to every known physician in her time and her day, seek
ing help. She was determined to &#6684777;nd healing in this Saviour, even though
the throng pressed Him. We're living in a time when we are over
crowded. The enemy is trying to overrun the world in spite of every-

84 MINUTES OF THE 65TH ANNUAL ASSEMBLY
thing that can be done. But, God is moving today to release the sin
ner that seeks after Him that will reach through the multitude of things
that are &#9961638;indering them in this world. This sister never declared her
self publicly; but, she said within herself, 'if I can but touch the hem
of His clothes.' The desire for healing spurred her on. Her eyes were
upon that one individual that had the healing power.
"We have bene&#6684777;ts that we have never touched-Psalm 103:1, 2. But,
we have multitudes of doubts and fears that can hinder us. We can
be delivered of these and reach out as this sister and in the multitude
as she touched Him and was healed. You don't have to carry that dis
ease. You are delivered by the power of God, if you will claim your
bene&#6684777;ts in the Lord. The bene&#6684777;ts are also for any sinner person that is
ready to repent and seek God: 'Who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who
healeth all thy diseases.'
"The &#6684777;rst thing we should be interested in is the souls of men; this
is a precious thing. God wants us to serve Him wholeheartedly. When
Jesus hung on the cross and the world tu&#7471214;ed on Him, those that cruci
&#6684777;ed Him, He prayed for them. There was nothing but love and com
passion poured from Jesus and there should be nothing but love and
compassion poured from the Church of God to those that need help.''
He told of different healings in his family and at the local church
where he is pastor. Then he said: "The highlights of this sister's jou&#7471214;ey
was that she had a need; she found the source of help; she found the
point of contact-no one can make it for you; and she received that mighty
touch. Too many people are healed and never give enough praise unto
God. We need to declare to a lost and dying world the ma&#6750318;i&#6684777;cent
power of the One that we serve. Not only is He able to save and sanc
tify holy, &#6684777;ll with heaven's sweet Holy Ghost, but, He is able to heal and
meet our needs and help us with every problem."
8:02 Ministers formed healing lines while congregation sang "Let Me
Touch Him," led by Ima Jewel Woodruff. The Bahama Brass Band
rendered music while 1,588 were prayed for and anointed wi&#7602280; oil; 4,192
cloths were anointed.
9:10 Brother Tomlinson led the congregation in singing "Where He
Leads Me I Will Follow," followed by concert prayer for the evangelistic
message.
9:16 Evangelistic message and altar call by Carolyn Ledbetter. She
read Matthew 17:5 and John 7:46; never a man spake like this Man. Then,
John 11:43; Mark 10:52; Mark 4:39-they were words of love, words of
power, words of authority and words of compassion. He can take a de
feated life and give it salvation; he can erase doubts and give assurance.
Jeannette Ledbetter sang "I Met a Man Called Jesus," as the altar call
was given and many came to seek the Lord.

land, Tennessee had a flag drill directed by Sonny Sample.
9:18 Edsel Har&#7602285;an led the congregation in singing "The Church of
God Flag."
9:27 The Ch&#7667826;ch Flag, an Identifying Mark of the Church-message
by William Sedwick. Excerpts:
"Matthew 13:44; Jeremiah 50:5; John 10:16-surely the Church of God
in the world today is a treasure. They shall ask their way to Zion. It
would be good for you and I that when these ask the way to Zion that
we may be able to show them and give them the answers to the ques
tions that they ask.
"The three wise men started out in search of the Messiah. But they
still had to ask the way even when they were close by. Some today are
close by the Church, but, they still must ask the way. Identify means
to recognize or establish as being a particular person or thing. These
people that are asking the way to Zion are looking for a people that is
holy, sancti&#6684777;ed, and &#6684777;lled with the Holy Ghost. Do we say we are full
of the Holy Ghost but fail to have the power that goes wi&#7602280; it? &#5505128;ese
people are searching for this.
"We . are a chosen generation because God has given us a banner-
1 Peter 2:9. Many people spend hundreds of dollars to buy a Rembrandt
painting. But, a person that buys one of these paintings makes a study
because there are some identifying marks on this painting. Jesus said
there would be false christs and false prophets so this is why there
must be identifying marks in the Church-Matthew 24:24. Many buy
these paintings thinking they are the real thing when they are frauds.
&#5505128;ere are those who have settled for less than God has given us in His
Word. But, the flag is an identifying mark of the Church-Psalm 60:4.
It may be displayed because of the truth. &#5505128;is is what these people
will be searching for-the truth. We need to stand for &#7602280;e truth. There
is no place where we can let down in the doctrine of &#7602280;e Church. We
must stand fast."
9:47 Brother Tomlinson led the congregation in singing "I Want to
Know More About My Lord."
9:58 The White Wing Publishing House Program directed by Perry E.
Gillum, Business Manager.
Brother Gillum read Mark 13:10, Deuteronomy 32:2, and Psalm 68:11,
and spoke. Dorothy Creel led the congregation in singing "I Get So
Thrilled With Jesus," and "Oh, How I Love Jesus." Frank Howard led
the congregation in a prayer of thanksgiving.
10:13 Let's Talk About the White Wing Publishing House, directed by
Ruth Galloway. Sister Galloway told a bed-time story: Once upon a time
in 1923, a little boy began to dream of building a car. He borrowed
$50, and started it in his home. These were his helpers-Ruth Galloway,

All had a part of the car and as they told the importance of their de

MOBILE.
10:35 Assistant Editor of the WHITE WING MESS&#4522062;GER, R.
.
6. Covey,
speaks. Brother Covey boosted the WHITE WING. He said it has been
designated as the "silent preacher," and it is world-wide. He &#7602280;anked
everyone for .. their support by subscription and contributions of articles.
He told of the process an article goes through before . it goes . to press;
encouraged everyone to report news when it happens; and explained that
if the paper was late arriving it must be &#7602280;e post office. Our slogan:
"Every member a reader and every Church home a subscriber."
10:46 The Youth Aflame Choir sang "We Challenge Youth," and "Je
sus, Lover of My Soul."
11:03 E. L. Jones sang "Jesus, Jesus, My Precious King"; the con
gregation joined him in singing "Jesus Loves Me." The Holy Ghost fell
and a message and interpretation was given.
11:21 Su
.
nday School Editor, Robert J. Pruitt, speaks. Brother Pruitt
re-read Isaiah 2:3 and Micah 4:2 . in terms of our day: For out of the
Church (Zion) shall go forth doctrine (law) and the· word from the As
sembly (Jerusalem). Excerpts:
"It was the spirit· of God who moved upon Isaiah and Micah to write
this. The Spirit that gives us enlightenment and understanding of the
Word. The law is going out of Zion in many forms: song, printed word,
spoken word; but, still God is speaking out of Zion. How long . has it
been since you went through all of the· tracts of the . publishing house and
read them in depth and studied them? Do· you read the White Wing
Messenger? Do you read other Church publications seeking from them a
source of information and doctrine that will help you in your spiritual
life and in your experience with God?
"Joel and Amos said it a little stronger,· 'the Lord shall roar out of
Zion.' &#5505128;roughout this Assembly God has been speaking to His people;
and He has been telling us &#7602280;rough the Holy Ghost things that we need
to understand. We need to focus our attention where God is working.
The religious-publications today show there is complete frustration on the
matter of the role of the Church and doctrine and religion in the de
nominations of the world. There is more false d&#7274595;trine today than &#7602280;ere
is truth. But we know the false doc&#7602290;ines are going to fail and out of
Zion will go forth the d&#7274595;trine-the truth . . Luke 10:21 the babes were
the ones who would take &#7602280;e truth and do what He said do. Much of
our work was done by people who were willing to do what God said
and'not try to frustrate &#7602280;e truth. We have a Church committee on doc
trine that is watching to keep and preserve the doctrine for the Church.
I am not teaching that we are perfect; we have to go on to perfection .
. The Church is committed to the truth. The world is looking to the Church
for the truth, and we must ful&#6684777;ll that responsibility. The doc&#7602290;ine is
universal. God gave it to the Church and He is speaking to the Church

MINUTES OF THE 65TH ANNUAL ASSEMBLY 87
and is asking us to listen. When God roars out of Zion, the world is
going to take notice. The false· doctrines will crumble; everything else
will fall; but, the truth will stand."
11:42 Closing prayer by &#7078004;enry O'Neal.
AFTERNOON
The Victory Leaders Program, directed by Darel Lee Talbott, General
Secretary.· &#5505128;eme: Youth-Doing Our &#5505128;ing in a New'Decade.
12:40 &#5505128;e Bahama Brass Band led the Victory Leaders in a parade
from the Hamilton County Court House to the auditorium. , Approximately
2,700 marched. Everyone rejoiced in the Lord, as they continued the
march inside the auditorium and. Bro&#7602280;er Talbott 1ed them in singing
"Some Day," and "Heaven's Jubilee."
1:08 Singing Praises to God is One of Our &#5505128;ings-Verlin &#5505128;o&#7471214;ton

1:20 His Word-a Great Thing. Dennis Howard read Mat&#7602280;ew 24:35;
John 1:1; and John 1:14 and spoke.
1:23 Prayer Is My Daily &#5505128;ing; Violet Todman prayed.
1:26 So You're Doing Your Thing-message by General Secretary. Ex
cerpts:
"&#5505128;e phrase 'do your &#7602280;ing' could mean that youth are . .tired of be
ing conformist to the ideas, beliefs, opinions and everyday &#7077993;v&#7209168; of oth
ers; they merely want to live their own life. One of the greatest prob
lems facing today's youth is they hear their parents speaking one way
and living exactly the opposite; this becomes confusing. Many youth do
not want to &#6684777;t into another groove or mold; they want to &#6684780;t into their
own.
"The presence or absence of the Saviour in your life controls the end
result of how you do your thing. Some dare to be different. But, Noah
was different. His ark looked ridiculous to the world. Gideon and his
army lapping water, carrying trumpets, and empty pitchers with. lamps
was a fu&#7209070;y sight for an army. But this . was their thing and through
obedience to God, they claimed their victo&#7471225;. Jesus did many unusual
things &#7602280;at amazed those who came in contact wi&#7602280; Him. Had He �ot
done His thing, where would we be today? 1 Corinthians 1:27-it could
be that He could use us as one of His things in His service. If you feel
what you are doing is weak, then you do it for the glory of God and
He will make you stronger. It is important that you do what God has
called you to do.
"You say, 'I'm going to do my thing.' First ask yourself some ques
tions. Does my thing please the Lord? Don't try to impress others or
please self. If God is pleased, you'll be pleased and others will have to
be. Is your thing right according to God's Word? If it is, do it! Can
G&#7274596; get &#7602280;e glory out of you doing your thing? He can, and does, and will
receive glory when you say, 'Here I am Lord; I want to be used of you.'
Young people, we have a thing to do. Whether it is winning souls, boost-

ing Youth Honor Club money, raising free literature money, there is a
&#7602280;ing to do and we must do it with joy, if God gets the glory.
"With &#7602280;e bir&#7602280; of this new decade, the bo&#7471214;-again, Holy-Ghost &#6684777;lled
you&#7602280; of the Church have challenges, thrills, and new dimensions afford
ed no previous generation. What are we doing with our talents and
abilities? If we'll do the Lord's thing, and stay in line with the Word
and the Church, we'll be blessed. We're living in the time when Satan
would like to slip his &#7602280;ings over on us. People are shooting it up and
popping pills of all descriptions. Why? &#5505128;ey are trying to &#6684777;nd what we
have found. It's time we quit talking and go into action. 1 Corinthians
12:18&#2949221;ach of us have been placed in &#7602280;e Church, if we have taken the
covenant, to do our thing for the upbuilding of Christ and the Church.
What the world needs now is the Holy Ghost and &#6684777;re to be moving in
their souls. But, before they get it, we must be &#6684777;lled with an abundance
of &#7602280;e Holy Ghost and &#6684777;re coupled wi&#7602280; consecration and dedication. The
Lord needs you and you need Him and you need to be used of Him.
Come on, youth of the Church of God, let's do our thing!"

2:42 I'm Sold On One Thing for Today's Modern Youth! Message by
Ga&#7471225; T. Linkous. Excerpts:
"There is a need for a revival in this world-a revival of patriotism.
It is a common occurrence in the newspapers and throughout the news
media 1o see that groups of people are desecrating the flag of the United
States; looting and burning induction centers; destroying the very sys
tem which guarantees them that freedom. &#5505128;ere is a need of revival
of patriotism in the Church of God. Too long we have looked lightly at
the government of the Church and have spoken lightly of those who are
over us in the Lord. The Church of God is a modern church f0r these
Seventies. It is as real today as it was when Jesus walked up Mt. Hittin
and called unto Him who He would and organized the Body of Christ.
Truth is ageless; that's why the Church is relevant to our day-it is not
out of date. According to 1 Timothy 3:15 it is the pillar and &#6750322;ound of
the truth. The Church offers safety and protection in a world of ravenous
wolves and roaring lions.
"I'm sold on the Church because in a world of Christendom, when
conformity and compromise is the order of the day, the Church of God
stands untiringly and unswervedly for Bible holiness. Mark well the
bulwarks of the Church; know the boundaries
·
; know the limitations; learn
to live within them for they are your safety and protection. Others have
made atempts at only small, seemingly insigni&#6684777;cant, compromise and
change, but when they begin· to weaken their walls this little bit, they,
like the walls of Jericho, come tumbling down. We cannot afford to
-push for change, compromise and conformity &#7602280;at would' ultimately de
stroy the divine institution that Jesus Christ has established in this world.
We can never gain quantity at &#7602280;e expense of the quality of God's Word.
&#5505128;e Church of God offers a cure for the diseased soul of this world; a
Physician Who can heal all diseases of soul and body. It's time for us,
young people, to quit being skeptical about &#7602280;e Church. God will affect
that which He, has promised to affect. It's time we rid ourselves of
ignorance about the Church. The Bible says, ' ... and be ready always to
give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that
is in you with meekness and fear.' 1 Peter 3:15.
"It's &#7602281;me we rid ourselves of shame of the Church of God. The Church
is not like every other church; we are going to have to learn to be

90 MINUTES OF THE 65TH ANNUAL ASSEMBLY
proud of the difference. The Church is. small for one of two reasons:
ei&#7602280;er because of its selectiveness or because we have failed to get across
the beauty of the Church to the world that's looking for the &#7602290;u&#7602280;.
We've let too many people get away, because we didn't know how to tell
them about the Church or we knew how to. tell them but we were ashamed.
It's time to quit apologizing for the Church doctrine.
"While others sit in a quandary and, in a wonder, the Church is get
ting ready to do battle. , He wants volunteers. If you are willing -to
join this army and accept whatever lot may fall you, you will not only
see the enemy defeated ultimately; but, you will receive a crown of right
eousness for your faithful service to God and to the Church." Brother
Linkous asked all who wanted to vol&#7667822;teer for this a&#7471213;y to stand; every
on.e sang "Onward Christian Soldiers."
3:05 Camping Is My Thing-message by Roy Cantrell. Brother Cantrell
said there are four major principles of camping: educational ministry,
leadfrship development, counseling,· and individual spirituality. He said
there is an atmosphere at camp that lets a young person become him
self, without the pressures of home; it thrusts the camper into the pres
ence of God. It has been proven that 75 per cent of the missionaries
on the &#6684777;eld were either called or saved in a camping situation. He gave
several youth camp experiences and said: : "A good place to start the
program of winning souls and developing our ·youth and causing them to
gain spiritually is in a strong, stable, spiritual camping situation."

Brother Wilkinson recognized special contributions and gifts to the Col
lege and thanked everyone for boosting it. He introduced the Tomlinson
College Life Insurance Endowment Fund and had Robert Wright, our rep
resentative and promoter of this plan, to show the plaque for the Com
mittee of 100. The students participated in a skit "What Is This Tom
linson College, Anyway?"
4:19 The T. C. Chorale sang "The Lord Is a Busy Man." The Campus
Choir sang "He's a Light Unto My Pathway." These were directed by
Phillip Barker, music instructor.
4:25 Brother Wilkinson introduced the T. C. faculty. The congregation
prayed for the faculty.
4:32 Tomlinson College, and Educational Program of the Church, by the
Church, for the Church-message by J. D. Wilkinson, Jr., President. Ex
cerpts:
"If we look at our College, the first thing we see is the campus: two
beautiful new buildings, some remodeling on the old building, paved drives
and parking lots, and grass &#6684777;nally growing where there was mud. This
has been done through your support. The campus is worth about two
thirds of a million dollars; this is an asset to the Church. Our courses
have been expanded so that we can offer students, in many different
areas, the range of courses that they need. As we walk on the campus,
we know that it is part of God's program that we are doing something
for God and we can feel. the Spirit of God moving around. 'Scholarship
with Spirit,' is real at T. C.
"Some students are going to college because they are thinking of pro
viding for themselves &#6684777;nancial security, stability, prestige in their jobs,
a chance to prepare themselves to compete in industry, education, tech
nology, medicine and various things. These are all commendable mo
tives; but, from the Church, God wants more from our young people.
A commission is given to each one of us as members of the Church of
God and as each person received God's salvation, they received an obli
gation. Our duty is to have an educational program that will help the
young people that are looking in this direction. The primary challenge
to the students at T. C. is to take these abilities that they have and train
themselves so they can use them for God and His Church.
"I believe T. C. is truly of the Church, because it was set forth by

MINU&#5505093;S OF &#5505096;E 65TH ANNUAL ASSEMBLY 93
the Church, initiated by the Assembly, put in order by the proper
methods through the Committees with the proper research done and with
the blessings of the Holy Ghost as it was passed in the Assembly. Tom
linson College is a very close and distinct part of the Church with &#7602280;e
same challenge that every other department of the Church has and this
is the building of the Church. T. C. is of the Church and by the Church
because of the support that comes from the Church.
"Each of the faculty members are Holy-Ghost-&#6684777;lled members of the
Church. No other institution of higher learning can weave the message
of the Church into their curriculum and program. It is our desire for
every young man and woman that comes to T. C. to leave with a de
sire and the training that is needed to serve God.
"The devil doesn't want you, young people, at T. C. He wants you
where you are outnumbered. Young people, you have the challenge that
you must develop whatever talent you have for &#7602280;e use of God. Pos
sibly, this generation in college now are those that are going to carry
the message to the end. God won't let us by with anything less than
completely developing our talents for Him. Many young people have been
led by God to develop and train themselves ·at T. C. &#5505128;is places upon
the College, upon the Church, and upon each one of us a grave responsi
bility. Our goal throughout this year is 'dedicated to the task of sound
teaching for those who desire broader training.' "

4:59 Not My Will-message by Oral T. Wynn. Excerpts:

94 MINUTES OF THE 65TH ANNUAL ASSEMBLY
"When &#7602280;e Lord gave us the vision of the Church and we became a
part of it, this was one of the greatest things in our lives. Luke 22:41, 42
-not my will, but thine be done. It is not always easy to be obedient.
The only way we can make it is to be obedient. When Jesus went to
the Garden of Gethsemane, He was obedient to &#7602280;e Father. Jesus, as
the Head of the Church, makes the Church be obedient unto Christ:
"A lot of people are following but they don't know what &#7602280;ey're fol
lowing. Jesus was obedient unto death and this is why the Church is
here today; He purchased it with His own blood. Church of God, God
has the power to rule this thing and cause us to submit ourselves unto
His mighty power. 1 Samuel 15:22-to obey is better than sacri&#6684777;ce. Some
of us had to sacri&#6684777;ce to be here at this General Assembly, to obey those
that have rule over us and to do our job. &#5505128;e Church has to submit to
Christ before she makes herself ready for the move.
"Young ministers, the way to &#6684777;nd the will of God is to submit your
self and to cry out to God in prayer until .. you have found favor with
Him and He will lead you into His work. When we, as ministers, do
not do the will of the Father, our local church is going to suffer and the
community where we live will suffer. When God is on our side, there
is nothing in the world that can be against us. The Church has a great
work to do. We have to stand on God and say, 'not my will, but Thine
be done.'"
5:30 Annual Praise Service directed by C. R. Payne. Brother Payne
read Psalm 27:4-6 and Psalm 34:1-10 and &#7602280;e congregation repeated after
him. He had everyone with the Holy Ghost to praised the Lord. Every
one sang "He Keeps Me Singing," "We'll Understand It Better By and
By," and "Oh, How I Love Jesus.'' Concert prayer for the unsaved.
5:56 The Splendor of Sacred Music directed by Phillip Barker. The
Assembly Choir sang: "Everybody Sing," "Wonderful Grace of Jesus"
(joined by Bahama Brass Band), and "How Great Thou Art" (joined
by the congregation). Brother Barker and David Hinnant presented a
M )X#3on the local c h u r c h music p r o gr a m. Spiritualettes sang
"Cleanse Me," and the Tomlinson College Chorale sang "Jesus Is the
Answer."
6:30 MUSIC FROM AROUND THE WORLD directed by Phillip Bark
er. The Bahama Brass Band played "Mansion Over the Hilltop"; the
Virgin Islands Steel Drum Band played "What a Happy Time" and two
other songs; the East Street Chorale from Nassau, Bahamas sang "Saviour,
Lead Us Lest We Stray." Willem Cretier, Jr., sang a chorus of "Send
the Light" in German, Tony and Ellie Charalambou in Greek, and Jose
Reyes and his group in Spanish; the congregation joined at the end.
7:06 World Mission Program, directed by Charles G. Hawkins, Sr.,
Secretary. Brother Hawkins introduced the Mission Representatives: Eng
lish-Harrison E. Price; Spanish-Jose A. Reyes; and Greek&#2949232;hristos
C. Shiakallis. He said, "the success that we have had can be contrib
uted largely to their loyal support of our mission work." Sylvia Hardin
spoke and then prayed for the Mission Program.
7:25 Brother Hawkins introduced his son and wife to the congregation
and then introduced workers from abroad: Moses Stephens, Virgin Islands;
Carlos Colon, Brazil; Hector Ortiz, Puerto Rico; J. Vital Herne, Haiti;
Alvin S. Moss, Bahamas; H. L. Hawkins, England; Delmar Spurling,

MINU&#4522151; OF THE 65TH ANNUAL ASSEMBLY 95
Canada; Willem Cretier, Jr., Germany and Holland; Mario Gandia, Peru;
Wayne Little, Costa Rica and· Panama; Joseph Weathers, Jr., Leeward
Islands; Eddie Padilla, Ne&#7602280;erlands Antilles. Brother Hawkins acknowl
edged the General Field Secretaries, Felix Garcia and Barney &#5505138;ogdon,
stating &#7602280;at they had been very active on the mission &#6684777;eld &#7602280;is year.
7:29 Special reports of new developments on the mission &#6684777;eld. Sont&#6357102;g
Pardede reported from his country. "Indonesia is of vital interest to all
the world. It links Asia and Australia; the Paci&#6684777;c Ocean and the Indian
Ocean. It is the leader of the S out h e a s t e r n Asian na&#7602281;ons. Dur
ing the 1960's, much effort had been used to combat illiteracy in which
many churches took an active part. Thank God for Christians who &#6684777;ght
for Christian literature; gospel tracts and literature are being used as
effective-tools in Indonesia. The dominant religion is Moslem-BO per
cent of the population. There are about 10 per cent Christians in the
country, including all Protestant religions and Roman Catholics. The rest
are either Hindu or Buddists. The constitution planted freedom of re
ligion in the country and is based on these &#6684777;ve principles: believing God,
humanity, national conscience, democracy, and social justice. The coun
try is a potential opportunity for the Church of God. The Church is just
not waiting until all the sheep come to the fold, but will surely make
every effort and sacrifice to bring about this realization. Indonesia has
a different cultural background. I don't see any reason why Christians
of the various cultures should not be able to work together in one body.
It is a Christian obligation to understand and respect people from other
cultures. I wish to invite you to authorize and send your representa
tives to Indonesia. In this way, I believe that Indonesia will be repre
sented during the next General Assembly."
7:50 Presentation of Awards. The leading church, state, and country
received crystal c&#6357102;delabras (different sizes) made in Virgin Islands for
the largest October and World Mission offer&#6881390;gs.
Leading churches: Kansas City, Kansas $2,801.76; Cleveland (Wildwood
Avenue), Tennessee $2,150.58; Olathe, Kansas $1,431.92. Leading states:
Tennessee $14,888.56; Oklahoma $8,393.10; Geor&#6750313;a $5,702.93. Leading coun
tries: Puerto Rico $1,572.93; England $1,405.09; Canada $851.26.
7:57 Parade of Nations. Young girls, dressed in blue floor-length
dresses, marched to the platform bearing the flags of the 42 nations in
which the Church has been established; one girl, dressed in white and
carrying the Church flag, represented the Church. The Bahama Brass
Band played "Onward Christian Soldiers," and there was much rejoic
ing and demonstration of the Spirit.
8:09 Brother Hawkins received an expense offering for the Bahama
Brass Band and expressed appreciation to them for coming.
8:17 Frustrate Not the Grace of God-message by Charles G. Hawkins,
Sr., Secretary. Text: Galatians 2:21. Excerpts:
"If it were_ not for the law, it would be impossible for us to have what
is called a civilized society. Most of the time· we think of the law in
relation to the law that was given to Moses, by God, on Mt. Sinai. The
children of Israel had longed for the day when God's man would be sent
to lead them out of this land of oppression. Shortly after they began
the journey out of Egypt, they wished they had never started. Never
theless, it was in God's plan.

96 MINUTES OF THE 65TH ANNUAL ASSEMBLY
"When they left Egypt, they had no law. As &#7602280;ey journeyed across
the Red Sea and into the wilderness of Sinai, things became more dif
ficult; there was hunger and thirst. But G&#7274596; provided for them. Dur
ing the 40 days and nights that Moses was with God on Mt. Sinai, God
gave him the Ten Commandments. Not only that, but he showed him
the mysteries of God. Oftentimes, as &#7602280;e Christians in this grace dis
pensation, we tend to disregard this as more or less a minor happen
ing. We refer to the law as being dead or a thing that is past; but Jesus
came to fulfill the law. Had it not been for the law, the children of
Israel could never have existed as a nation. There are elements of this
law in almost every society on earth today. &#5505128;e law gave them a sys
tem, a government by which they could communicate and work together,
and they became so forceful with it until they went over into &#7602280;e land
of Canaan.
"If we have the grace of God, we will do what the law says. &#5505128;at
which the law could not do, when Christ gave His Son to this world,
we are now able to do. The children of Israel received this law and
they put the law into operation. But, all of this was only· a type and
a shadow of the good things to come .. &#5505128;e law was the schoolmaster
that brought us to Christ. The Levites went about to enforce and see
that the law was put into operation. The laws of this world operate in
the same fashion; they use force. If everyone in the world were children
of God, wi&#7602280; &#7602280;e Word of God written in their hearts, there would not be any
reason to have a police force. &#5505128;e &#4980837;vites and the law could s&#7602290;ike so
much fear into the people's hearts for breaking this law that they would
not do it. The words of the law, the way in which the person was to
live was alright; but he could never live right in his heart until Christ
came and brought the grace of God. The two most important words in
the Bible that played &#7602280;e greatest role in the redemption of man are
law and grace; they are inseparable. But, law has had its problems.
"In Acts 15:5, &#7602280;ey were bringing &#7602280;e law ri&#6750312;t into &#7602280;e Church, but
Paul declared that it was not the circumcision of the flesh, but the cir
cumcision of the heart. We need to be able to live before God in the
freedom of the Spirit of God and not feel condemnation. ·Bitter and sweet
can't come forth from the same place.
"The Pilgrims sailed to this country in search of religious freedom, but
the authorities of that community began to make the same laws that
&#7602280;ey left over in the old country. Paul said, 'frustrate not the grace of
God.' Let's not force. If righteousness is going to come by force, then
Christ died in vain. God made us all and we are of one blood. If we
get salvation, we'll love our brother. The Bible is all the law we need.
We don't have to go on record or pass the rule in the Assembly to tell
a man that he has to love his brother. The love of God will do it auto
matically. This gospel has to go to every creature, but we'll never do
it by legislation, constitutions, rules, and regulati&#7274606;s. We are going to
do it because we love one another and we love lost humanity enou&#6750312;
to lay down our life for &#7602280;e cause of Christ. You just can't force peo
ple to do right. We are going to have to practice· the Word of God."
Brother Hawkins gave an invitation to those that wanted to seek the
Lord. The Bahama Brass Band fu&#7209179;&#3866727;hed altar music.

"l Timo&#7602280;y 2:1-3-we should pray for all men; this in.eludes every soul.
There is not distance in prayer. The world is in trouble, but &#7602280;e Church
is going to warn the people. We should pray for the President of &#7602280;e
United States, and others in authority. We need to pray effective, fervent
prayers. We hear too much about &#6750322;eat preachers, teachers, scientists,
and philosophers, but not much about great prayer warriors. We need
some! We need to turn down our plates more and stay on our knees
before God until we hear from heaven." Sister Pickering had everyone
to pray.
10:06 E. L. Jones sang "Prayer Bells of Heaven," and "Only Believe."

10:59 Reaching Out By Going-message by C. W. Randolph. Brother
Randolph read Matthew 28:19, 20 and prayed. Excerpts:
"Many people today do not realize the great bene&#6684777;t of missions, and
are not willing to go and serve. These are perilous times and the days
of spiritual conflict. The very forces of hell have been loosed upon the
inhabitants of this world and there is no hope of things improving. Let
us move forward and do the things that would be pleasing to an al
mighty God. Our commission is to go and to teach. Our Lord has chosen you
and I to meet the crisis.
"I've never been to a mission &#6684777;eld yet that a man told me anything
bad about his mission work; he always wants to show you &#7602280;e best thing
of his coun&#7602290;y. But, there are men suffering to preach the Word while
you enjoy the luxuries of this world. Isaiah 6:1-8-oh, that God would

MINU&#5505093;S OF THE 65TH ANNUAL ASSE&#5046338;LY 99
let the &#6684777;res of the altar burn again upon our lips and let that blood that
had been trickling in the altar away and cleanse, p&#7667826;ify, and sanctify us;
then, we'd be willing to go. Some don't really understand the importance
of missions and what it is to give their all for the cause of Christ. &#5701736;en
we are touched by &#7602280;e hot coals on the altar of God, we'll have &#7602280;e
mission spirit like we've never had before.
"People don't realize what a challenge it is in being a missionary. Church,
when you lose your vision and you don't see those hungry souls that
are crying, don't ever expect the Lord to do any&#7602280;ing for you in your
local church. I want to be a missionary; I want to be called of God.
We've got to reach this world, and the only way that we can reach it
is to go ourselves. The disciples asked the Lord, 'would you tell us what's go
ing to be the si&#6750318;s of your coming?' Jesus said, 'when my gospel is preached
in all the world for a witness, then the end will come.' (Mat&#7602280;ew 24:3-14)
"If you feel the call to the mission &#6684777;eld, seek the divine guidance of
God and let the moving of &#7602280;e Holy Ghost take charge. We're G&#7274596;'s
Church and we have His message. It is our responsibility to take this
work to all ends of the world. If you can't go, then your responsibility
is to give."
11:22 Reaching Out to Serve Through Giving-a mission offering was
received; also, Sister Howard, assisted by Brother Randolph, received sev
eral $100 checks or pledges. Sacred musi_c was. arranged by Mike Hopkins.

11:49 Mission Crusade Helps in Reaching. Out,-:.prace Higdon. Excerpts:
"If a Mission Crusade is operated properly, ·it will cause the Church
to be blessed in many ways. If we don't love those folks that are around
us, we don't have much love for those that are across the sea either. If
the mission leader will consult with the pastor,. have,. special prayers
during. the day, contact new people and invit
e
them to the. house of God,
then our Mission Crusade &#7798889;ll have the effect &#7602280;at it should have. If
our experience is what it should be with God, then we w111 • be
.
able to
be a· bl:essing to others. This Mission Crusade ·covers three areas: attain
deeper spirituality, enlarge our vision of missions, and gain new mem
bers. Missions is the spirit of the Church. . When we enlist our young
women and girls • in . the mission band, we .. don't take anything away
from :the Victory Leaders, but rather. we add it to. If we fail to enlist
them, we are depriving them of a blessing. Let us be an agent of God
in the Mission Crusade; we will then produce the desired results."
12:04 Sister Howard spoke briefly on "God's Endowment-H ands and
Their Potentials." Excerpts:
"Missions is not raising money; that is only ge&#7602292;ing ready for missions.
Missions is when YOU go and reach a soul. All these years we have
raised money, but we haven't been able to tell our next door neighbor
about the Church of God. We need to realize that &#7602280;is is missions also.
"An endowment is a special gift that is given so that you can do some
thing else. God has given us some special• gifts by which we. can be
blessed and enlarged. There are many people that say they want to give
God &#6684777;rst place in their lives; but He needs your life! We need to give
ourselves to God. Do you know what causes backsliding? • Inactivity. If
we could s&#7602290;etch ourselves for&#7602280;, use ourselves for God,. we would be
healed."
12:15 Special Worship Time. "If My People Would Humble Themselves

2:10 "Enlistment Evangelism"-a topic of group interaction present
ed by James Stone. Interact group: Allen Davis, Helen Plank, Frances
Allen, Shirley Halpain, and Herbert Marlowe.
2:40 Sharing some experiences. W. W. Webb told 'how the Evansville,
Indiana Sunday School initiated a plan called Prayer Partners. These
two met every day for two weeks praying for those &#7602280;at attended their
Sunday School and were lost; this brought wonderful results. Harry
Ramey from the Greenville, South Carolina Church stated that Brother
Murray had taught his Sunday School workers the "Called To Teach"
course. Since that time, the teachers have become more interested in
their classes, and the classes have grown. Called To Teach is a way to
grow as well as a way to know.
2:45 Lloyd Philpott sang "I'll Trust in Him."
2:50 Anchored to the Rock-message by General Secretary. Brother
Murray prayed and read 1 Corinthians 10:4. Excerpts:
"&#5505128;ese things are written for our admonition-I Corinthians 10:10. This
same Rock that was with Israel is the One to whom we are looking
for stability and for the answers that are going to take us the rest of
the way. Our answer &#7602287;day is not in methods alone. We need God!
Joshua 5:13-15-He, this captain of the Lord's host, gave Joshua the bat
tle plan for taking Jericho. We could easily determine he was saying,
'I'm not on your side and I'm not on their side.' There is too much of
this feeling that the Lord and us, we are buddies-not so! He's the Captain
of the Lord's host. It is up to us to follow His leading and instruction.
Some of the enemies of Jericho might have watched the Israelites and might
have been prone to question what kind of way is that to tear a wall
down. There are a lot of wonderful people who love to tell us how to
day, but we are going to do well to keep getting our direction from
that R&#7274595;k which followed them. A battering ram wasn't in God's plan for
&#7602286;e Israelites. It worked for other folks, but it wasn't in God's plan
for His folks. We can make a mistake today, Church of God, by looking
around to see how other folks are doing it. I don't want us to. I want
us, to be anchored in Jesus Christ, the Head of this Church, which is
unique in this earth. We must be sure that God is giving us our orders
for gearing ourselves to these times.
"The Israelites shouted and the walls came tumbling down. If we be
lieve· the Lord, we mi&#6750312;t as well shout about the victory that is going
to be won, because it is going to happen. In Christ are hid all the treas
ures of wisdom and knowledge--Colossians 2:3. How we need the mani
festation of the gifts of the Spirit. We need direction. No one has ever
done what we are going-to do. Everything &#7602280;at the Church of God needs
is in Him, this Rock Who is the Head of the Church of God-Colossians

MINUTES OF THE 65TH ANNUAL ASSE&#5046338;LY 103
2:4-10. Make sure you are getting your instruction, your direction from
this &#6357102;oin&#7602281;ng which belongs to you as the Church, and you won't have
to go out there to &#6684777;nd your next direction-I John 2:27. The Church
must let this anointing come down to where we are in perfect harmony,
perfect accord, with this Rock that we make no mistakes anywhere from
here to the end. Jesus Christ was a.nointed when John baptized Him.
The heavens opened and &#7602280;is anoint&#6881390;g came down in a visible anoint
ing. The Holy Ghost in the form of a dove came and settled upon
Him and a voice out of heaven said, '&#5505128;is is my beloved Son, in whom
I am well pleased.' When this anointing settled down on Him and He
accepted it, His fame spread into all the world and in three &#6357102;d a half
years He had &#6684777;nished the work that was given Him to do. Many of
us have the Holy Ghost already, but I'm talking about an anointing set
tling down upon the Church which we will work under and have no
need that any man teach us because we will be following that Rock,
we will be anchored in that Rock and no&#7602280;ing will move us."
3:15 Ron Crews and the Cha&#7077996;engers sang ·"Geared to the Times, Anch
ored to the Rock."

Grace." The Holy Ghost fell and a message was interpreted: "Work while
the day is here. I will guide you. Go like a mighty conqueror. I will
be with you. r am &#7602280;y God and I will go in front of you and in back
of you."

7:10 Christ and the Collegiat&#6619181;message by Ron Crews. Ex��rpts:
. "Many people blame all the trouble in our colleges on the Communist
forces in our land. I don't believe &#7602280;is. I believe we can pin all of the
blame for the trouble on one sourc&#6619181;sin. As long as sin is in the world,
we are going to have trouble, not only on our colleges and universities,
but all over the world. Everyone of those long-haired, dirty, &#6684777;lthy hip
pie college students have a soul. Instead of feeling disgust when we see
them, I believe Jesus would have us feel love and compassion. Paul
let • the Corinthians know that no sin was going to enter heaven-1 Co
rinthians 6:9. Everyone of us were at one time sinners and as deep in
sin as those &#6684777;lthy young people. It is only by the grace of God that
you and 1 are here tonight and not in some jail for rioting on the streets.
We have to have love for our fellowman. Our colleges need Jesus. You
say, '&#7602280;at's where the ·sin is'; that is where Jesus is needed. We need to
send our young people off to college with our prayers and not our wor
ries. &#5505128;ey are ful&#6684777;lling part • of the divine commission to witness to
all the world. When Christian young people stand up for Jesus on their
colleges, something happens. The collegfates in &#7602280;is nation need Jesus Christ
and the Holy Ghost. They are looking for that something-supernatural
experience-and they are &#6684777;nding it through the baptism of the Holy Ghost.
Collegiates, lift up Jesus. God will bless you."
Brother Matthews had all the college students to stand, then all the
servicemen; the congregation gave each group a standing ovation.
7:26 Wayne Howell testi&#6684777;ed that when you are called into service for
your country, if you want to serve God, you can serve Him anywhere
you are sent. (He is now working with our missionaries in Korea.)
7:32 E&#7077996;swor&#7602280; Van Deventer told the story of a Navy Ensign who land
ed on &#7602280;e Marshall Islands to talk to God among the &#7602290;ees. Unbeknown
by this serviceman, the islanders heard him praying in &#7602280;eir own tongue,
through the Holy Ghost. He told them of a missionary who would come
to • them and tell the story of Jesus. Eight years lat&#6619250;, another man
came to teach English in &#7602280;eir school. They told him of this service
man speaking in their language. &#5505128;e English teacher told them the story
of Jesus and today ten per cent of the Marshallese people are saved and
the majori&#7602297; of them are cleansed and &#6684777;lled with the Holy Ghost -and
&#6684777;re, because a serviceman lived for God. (Lt. Col. Van Deventer retired

MINUT&#4522067; OF THE 65TH &#4259918;NUAL ASSEMBLY 105
from the military last March after 27 years in the reseXA#Uincluding 21
and a half years active duty. He has been a great blessing to our se!'
icemen and is now in college at Te&#7209070;essee Wesleyan.)
Brother· Matthews introduced Doug Stephenson. Doug has been in a
seminary for the past few years and hopefully next year will be our &#6881496;st
chaplain in the U. S. Air Force from the Church of God of Prophecy.
7:44 Frederick Coburn, II testi&#6684777;ed. He was in charge of the N&#7274610;th
Vietnamese soldiers who were wounded and came into the place where
he worked. He told of several incidents in which the Lord enabled him
to work for Him.
Brother Matthews mentioned the many soldiers that had given their
lives during the year for their co&#7667822;&#7602290;y, including Larry Byrd and Wil
liam Barritt. He asked the congregation to st&#6357102;d in a moment of silence
in respect for these people. Taps was played. He received an offering
in memory of the seNXX0#Uthat have lost their lives throughout the
years. The offering will be &#6750313;ven to the Tomlinson College library. Each
book bought with this money will-be stamped "in memory of the serv
icemen who have given their lives."
8:03 Steve Blanton sang "Blood Stained the Cross At Calvary"; Ron
Hamm Trio sang "Sweet, Sweet Spirit"; the Internationals sang "As Long
as I've Got King Jesus"; and Dwight Richardson sang "Sheltered in the
Arms of God." The Holy Ghost fell and everyone praised the Lord.
8:25 A plaque was presented to Shirley Hawkins for "invaluable serv
ices rendered in the development of the Public Relatio&#7209075; Department
of the Church of God of Prophecy," by Brother Matthews. Sister Hawkins
was the &#6684777;rst office secretary of the Public Relations Department.
8:29 The Marietta, Georgia Choir sang "We've Come This Far by Faith,"
and "Praise God for Calvary," directed by Eloise Bryant. Brother Mat
thews told of a man that was in a wheelchair last year at this time and
he was healed when the Holy Ghost blessed in the Public Relations pro
gram.
8:41 Message by the Director-Who Is She? Song of Solomon 6:8-10.
Excerpts:
"People reading the Word about the Bride are looking throughout
the world and saying, 'where is she or who is she?' Our responsibili&#7602297;
is to present the picture of the description of the Bride as shown in Song
of Solomon. Some people must be convinced by what they see and not
what they hear. Another group isn't asking because they're not aware
that &#7602280;ere is a dove, unde&#6684777;led.
"The dove has unique characteristics. She is a beautiful bird that com
mands people's attention and is remarkable for her cleanliness. The spir
itual dove must command attention and have a clean and pure doctrine. A
dove feeds only on pure grain and she delights to be fed by her mate.
The pure grain-the whole Bible, righ&#7602284;y divided-pure Word of God, not
opinions, not customs: &#5505128;is dove is fed by anointed preaching, not show
mans&#6815849;p; but by the unction of the almighty God as the Spirit of &#7602280;e
Lord shows us. The only way this comes is by &#6684777;nding a closet, &#7602293;ning in and
touching God Almighty. This dove enjoys &#7602280;e company of other dove&#2949408;
the fellowship of the mystery. She is timid; not arrogant. She just

106 MINUTES OF THE 65TH ANNUAL ASSEMBLY
stands around and these other characteristics make her noticeable.
"She looketh forth as the morning. &#5505128;e morning is moving slowly,
but steadily. Some folks live only in the past, but you can't jump from
almost daybreak to the middle of the day either. The hope for the peo
ple that are in darkness is the one that looketh for&#7602280; as &#7602280;e mo&#7471214;ing to
cover it and let the light shine forth.
"Who is she that is fair as the moon? The moon has given inspiration
to many people, but the moon has no light of its own; it borrows its
light. &#5505128;ere are certain phases that the moon goes through-new moon,
the &#6684777;rst quarter, the full moon, and the last quarter. The Church has
passed through different phases. From 1903 until the early 1920's, a
time of searching God's Book for government. From the early 1920's
to the late 1930's, a time of reconstruction after the disruption. From the
late 1930's to the early 19_50's we were very program conscious. In 1956,
in the Assembly, &#7602280;e General Overseer had all &#7602280;e preachers to stand
and quote after him: 'as you go preach, saying the kingdom of heaven
is at hand, heal the sick, cleanse the leper, raise &#7602280;e dead, cast out devils;
freely ye have received, freely give.' From that day until now, we have
been entering and slowly moving into a phasing of reaching out far
beyond our borders. It means that we might be in the last quarter of
this business.
"Who is she that is as clear as the sun? The sun is the light of &#7602280;e world
and gives us ener&#6750329; and heat. What would happen if God's Church
would suddenly disappear; what would be the condition of this world?
"She was terrible as an army with banners. The Church is to be mil
itant. She is commissioned to &#6684777;ght error, vice and immorality. She is
also supplied with the weapons of war, not carnal, but mighty through
God to the pulling down of s&#7602290;ongholds. ' ... the gates of hell shall not
prevail against it.' Matthew 16:18.
"We must show them. How do we do it? ' ... by my spirit, sai&#7602280;
the Lord of hosts.' Zechariah 4:6. God wants to favor us. God is a
spirit; &#7602280;erefore, the Church of God must be a Church full of &#7602280;e Spirit
of the almighty God. Being &#6684777;lled can be instrumental in showing this
world who she is. To them she is a holy nation, a royal priesthood, a
peculiar people-the Church of God."
9:15 Roberta Mat&#7602280;ews and &#7602280;e Three T's sang "The Great Speckled
Bird"; the Youth Aflame Choir sang "&#5505128;e Church Triumphant.'' Brother
Matthews gave an invitation as seekers &#6684777;lled &#7602280;e altar.

MINUT&#4522067; OF THE 65TH ANNUAL ASSEMBLY 107
8:45 Two songs led by V. E. Byrd with Jenna Allen, pianist and Wilma
Gonia, organist. &#4259954;nold Harper read 1 Peter 2:1-9. W. S. Myers prayed,
followed by concert prayer.
8:56 Felix Garcia, Field Secretary, had everyone to stand and pray.
He expressed his appreciation for the cards and letters of sympathy that
were sent to the Jimenez Family at the death of J. A. Jimenez. He in
troduced Gabriel Montijo, Jr., South American Evangelist, and Brother
Montijo spoke of how the Lord blessed in Latin &#4259949;erica this year. Ex
cerpts:
"We were able to hold revival meetings and crusades in places that
had never known what it was to go into a revival. One fellow, an orphan
boy, in total darkness of salvation, came to the Mexico crusade night
after night. One night, I began to see a change come over his heart;
his face lit up and when the invitation was given I &#6357101; sure he was saved
as he knelt at the altar. Many times we have seen people saved right
in the audience as the Holy Ghost would move about.
"Healings, we have seen many. One woman in Guatemala, had her left
hand wrapped in a white handkerchief. She unwrapped one of &#7602280;e worst
bu&#7471214;ed hands I have ever seen in my life; it was raw. &#5505128;e bret&#6815858;en
prayed, believing in the Lord and the following night she witnessed her
healing. God had healed her instantaneously. God is still healing, sav
ing, sanctifying, &#6684777;lling with the Holy Ghost. We have precious work
ers in the &#6684777;eld. Our mission work is a most important work. &#5505128;e &#6684777;eld
is the world and we know we have to do something for God and His
Church."
Brother Garcia spoke a few minutes on "The Destiny of Many Souls
Is Our Responsibility." Excerpts:
"Destiny is what will happen to a person or to something; that which
determines events. We, by the grace of God, happen to be the Church of
God that has been predestinated to a work for God in this world. We are
not going to pick out what we like to do best or where we want to go
the most, but God has a plan according to His will that wi&#7077996; please Him and
the Son and the Holy Ghost. We must lea&#7471214; to adapt to work in that plan.
"We have had a foothold in many countries for years and it is only
a foothold because many have not ful&#6684777;lled their callings. Somebody has
to answer the call that will rescue and change the destiny of many souls
who are doomed to die. We need to claim not a foothold in these foreign
countries, but a stronghold for God and His Church. We are set apart
for a purpose; let us ful&#6684777;ll that purpose."

World Mission Committee Report
To the 65th Annual Assembly of the Church of God, Greetings:
The mission work of the Church is an ever-&#6750322;owing and ever-challeng
ing &#6684777;eld. Calls come in regularly from new coun&#7602290;ies where the Church
is not established. From the countries where the Church is established,
the work continues to grow. Your World Mission Co&#7143533;ittee is seeking
to make every country realize that the Church is truly universal; it is
not a United States Church wi&#7602280; "missions" in other countries. As our
work grows in various &#6684777;elds, these places take up their responsibility in
helping the Church worldwide in her last-days effort.
The World Mission drives in October and March are essential to the
continued growth of the Church. This year they totaled $50,166.69 and
$47,425.76, &#3866738;espectively, for a grand total of $97,592.45. This &#6684777;gure rep
resents a $21,215.31 increase over 1968-1969. A large number of churches

114 MINUTES OF THE 65TH ANNUAL ASSEMBLY
con&#7602290;ibuted at least $100.00 for which we thank God. Your Committee
wishes to encourage every church to participate in these annual drives.
World Harvest funds are used to &#6684777;ll in the gap for emergencies and
unforseen expenditures necessary in &#7602280;e mission work. Anyone may
con&#7602290;ibute directly to a mission &#6684777;eld through World Harvest, desi&#6750318;at

Much of my travel this year has been to handle &#7602280;e business matters
of our work. However, I have enjoyed &#7602280;e opportunl&#7602281;es to visit, preach,
and have the fellowship of our people in &#7602280;e coun&#7602290;ies· I visited.

116 MINUTES OF THE 65TH ANNUAL ASSEMBLY
I represented General Headquarters in ten national conventions and
two state conventions. There seems to be a growing awareness of the
need for a closer relationship among our workers around the world.
I have carried on the normal routine duties of my of&#6684777;ce; along with
the regular correspondence, I have contributed articles regularly to Mis
sion Cry and written letters each month to the overseers on the mission
&#6684777;elds.
We appreciate the wonderful co-operation of the various departments
of the Church which have helped us in putting the Church message over
in countries outside the United States.
The Mission Representatives have proven a real blessing to the work
and their reports will reflect the extent of their labor.
I further appreciate the valuable assistance of Nellie Walker, who has
served fait&#6815846;ully as my private secretary. Also, Cheryl Malone, who
has worked untiringly on our International Accounts and other office work.
Tony and Ellie Charalambou have worked as part-time helpers.

I escorted the Ibrahims on tour after the 64th Assembly, where they
raised money for a new headquarters building in Cairo. I conduced spe
cial services to help churches raise state convention offerings, showing
&#6684777;lms of mission &#6684777;elds and boosting the work. My work has not been
of an evangelistic nature, although I preach at every opportunity. Most
of my time was spent in the Caribbean: I served as temporary over
seer for Curacao for a month, helped Brother Weathers visit the Lee
ward Islands for &#7602280;e &#6684777;rst time, helped purchase and take care of prop
erty in the islands. I have taken care of daily correspondence. Our great

enjoyed my work this year.

I attended 6 national conventions, conducted 3 revivals in areas of
Spanish speaking people in the United States, and visited 16 coun&#7602290;ies.
Some countries visited we do not have established work, but there are
g&#7274607;d possibilities that we can establish it in &#7602280;e near future. In Chile,
S. A., I conducted a revival and 164 people were saved. We hope that we
can organize the Church in that country soon.
I taught in Bible Training Institute in Peru, Mexico, and California,
with a total of 220 lessons; prepared the material for the &#6684777;rst seminar
for Spanish overseers and workers which was conducted during this
Assembly.
I have served as Spanish Radio Minister and with my wife have pre
pared the program fo&#7471213;at and recorded the programs of the Spa&#7209065;sh Voice
of Salvation. I maintained contact with all &#7602280;e National Radio Directors;
wrote and visited many radio stations in behalf of the work. We are
broadcasting the Spanish programs in 15 radio stations in Latin America.
All Voice of Salvation correspondence was answered. The radio pro
gram has been a great blessing to the work in Latin America.
We completed the following translation work: 2 tracts, 26 sermons,
70 letters, 3 articles for the White Wing Messenger, 3 quarterlies of the
Still Small Voice, and the &#7602290;anslation of &#7602280;e Body of Christ correspondence
course to be used in the radio program. We read proof for Flex-Account
System in Spanish.
I appreciate &#7602280;e h&#6619244;p received from my wife who has efficiently man
aged the office work and helped me in the translation work.

Questions and Subjects Committee Report
Greetings to the 65th Annual Assembly of the Church of God of Proph
ecy. We, your Questions and Subjects Co&#7143533;ittee, after much prayer
and careful consideration, wish to submit the following report.
SECTION 1
Inasmuch as Bishop James B. Wright has served fai&#7602280;fully as a mem
ber of the Questions and Subjects Committee for many years, we here
by resolve to offer tria+OX#"and honor to this &#6750322;eat and distinguished per
sonality.
Through the years, Brother Wright�s wisdom and judgment has been
and is of great value to this Committee and to the Church of God through
out the world.
May we offer &#7602280;is note of gratitude to Bishop Wright for his worthy
contria+OK0#"to &#7602280;is the Questions and Subjects Committee.
Let us all say, "God bless Brother Wright."
SECTION 2
The Lord has been good to the Church of God to lead her through
another year of activities under the able leadership of our General Over
seer, Bishop M. A. Tomlinson. It has already been acknowledged and
proven that God's anointing is upon him. We commend: Brother Tom
linson for his outstanding Annual �ddress delivered to this Assembly.
May we offer opportunity for a voluntary expression _of con&#6684777;dence in
our General Overseer with a standing ovation at this time.
SECTION 3
In regard to the section of our General Overseer's Annual Address en
titled, The Trinity, it is evident that the Son has always existed, a+O#"
that He is not &#7602280;e Fa&#7602280;er. The Holy Ghost is a distinct person With all

MINU&#5505093;S OF THE 65TH ANNUAL ASSEMBLY 121
the attributes of God yet He is neither the Father nor the Son. &#5505128;e fol
lowing scriptures verify these facts: Genesis 1:1, 2, 26; Luke 3:22; John
17:21, 22; and Acts 10:38.
We recommend that this Assembly place its approval on the Bible doc
&#7602290;ine of the Trinity as given by the General Overseer in &#7602280;at section of
his address which de&#6684777;ned the Trinity as the union of three persons
the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost in one Godhead.
SEC&#5505097;ON 4
This Committee agrees with the General Overseer that something more
should be done to boost our evangelistic work; therefore, we recom
mend that a Department of Evangeli&#7536749; be created and that a General Di
rector for this Department be appointed by our General Overseer to
promote this work.
SECTION 5
Our reporting system is well known througbout the Church. Each one
participating in the reporting system is highly commended and . appre
ciated. As the Church continues to advance, we must keep alert for
possible improvements that would enhance and better seY#Uthe Church.
We, therefore, recommend that the present system of auxiliary leaders,
literature representatives and pastors reporting directly to the state, na
tional or territorial secretaries be discontinued October 1, 1970, and that
each Sunday School superintendent, WMB leader, Victory Leaders Band
leader, CPMA leader, and literature representative after the above date
give duplicate reports on the work of their respective departments to
the quarterly conference in the local church; that these reports be given
to the local church clerk after they are read and accepted. The orig
inal copies are to be sent to the state or national overseers, the dupli
cates are to be kept by &#7602280;e local church clerk after each conference.
We further recommend that the pastor's ABM and SOFA report to the
conference be handled in the same manner and that the overseer give
all the above mentioned reports to his auxiliary secretaries. The l&#7274595;al
&#4259906;M leaders will continue to report monthly to the pastor at the Band
Leaders' meeting.

ing, preparation, and prayer, endeavor to win souls for Christ and
the Church.
2. Since the primary purpose of the team is winning souls, a special
course of instructions on that subject should be given. No me&#7602280;od

Leaders Secretary for each team director. The Youth &#4980841;fe Team

eral Overseer to study our present &#6684777;nancial system and present a full
and detailed report of its &#6684777;ndings to the General Overseer's office be
fore next Assembly.
SECTION 8
Since the General Treasurer is a p p o i n t e d by the General Overseer
and the state treasurer is appointed by the state overseer, we recom
mend that the clerk and treasurer for the local church be appointed by
the pastor and that this appointment be made in the October quarterly
conference.
We fur&#7602280;er recommend that &#7602280;e pastor appoint his church leaders and
officers any time at the pastor's discretion from the &#6684777;rst Sunday of Au,N#U
to the October conference.

11:21 Report of Boosters Committee. The report was accepted as read.
The Committee had a skit showing that many are called by the Lord
to be ministers of His Word; a few accept that call, others put it off
until later.
Church Boosters Committee Report
To the 65th Annual Assembly, Greetings:
We, your Church Boosters Committee, after prayer and delib&#6619250;a&#7602281;on
submit our report:

136 MINUTES OF THE 65TH ANNUAL ASSEMBLY
TABERNACLE
Appreciation to the Chattanooga people for permitting us to use the
Memorial Auditorium for our Assembly two times. If it is used another
Assembly, we will be happy. It is our earnest desire that we may soon
have our tabernacle or auditorium in the near future. Our people are
urged to &#6684777;nancially support &#7602280;is project.
EVANGELISTIC
Many people around us need to be saved and to know about &#7602280;e Church.
Every member, especially every minister, should take advantage of every
opportunity to do the work of an evangelist. Since much has been said
about &#7602280;e coming of the Lord, it is necessary that we fast and pray more
and make haste about our Father's business. After listening to the An
nual Address of our General Overseer, it seems good for each pastor
to have four revivals spo&#7209004;sored by their local churches each year and
that the entire Church give special attention.
BIBLE TRAINING INSTITUTE
Bible &#5505138;aining Institute is the official training program in the Church,
and it strives not to establish a doctrine, but rather to establish in the
doctrine. People who have attended BT! should tell its values and bene
&#6684777;ts more often in &#7602280;e&#6881394; local church services. Pastors should conduct a
class each year of one of the courses that are available through this
Department. The doctrine of the Church should be presented more often
to the people.
SUNDAY SCHOOL
The Sunday School is an important asset to the Church. From the Sun
day School comes a large number of our Church membership. Each
Sunday School is urged to actively participate in the Fall Sunday School
and March to Sunday School in March attendance campai&#6750318;s. Each mem
ber gained in Sunday School is a soul to be won for Christ.
ASSEMBLY BAND MOVE&#5046341;NT AND STATE OVERS&#4522135;'S
PAY ASSOCIATION
Since &#7602280;ere has been such a drastic loss of members, God has pro
vided the &#4259955;sembly Band Movement to assist the pastors in keeping the
sheep. &#5505128;is Committee strongly urges each band leader to visit his mem
bers at least once a month. A band prayer meeting should be conducted
by each band leader once a mon&#7602280;.
&#5505128;e Assembly recommends that a love offering for the state overseer
be received each Fourth Sunday. Each band leader is to receive a love
offering in his mon&#7602280;ly band meeting for &#7602280;e state overseer to add to
the Fourth Sunday Offering.
CPMA D&#4522064;ART&#4522139;T
Much commendation is due our people for their continued support of
the marking program. The constant increase of membership is very grati
fying. May the good work continue.
Since there seems to be an increase in interest and inquiries about
the Church &#6684786;om other Christians, it seems good for our pastors and

MINUTES OF THE 65TH ANNUAL ASSEMBLY 137
churches to give careful attention to the Honor Stone Program. Proper
operation of every department of the Church, as outlined by the Assem
bly, will bring the favor and approval of God at the local level.
WOMENS MISSIONARY BAND
The Womens Missionary Band promotes the cause of missions at home
and abroad. The band is JlOt missions, but it is desi&#6750318;ed to promote
missions. The Womens Missionary Band is an arm of the Church to as
sist its great mission program.
The Womens Missionary Band, as set forth by the General Assembly
in 1928, is to be composed of only women, but others can contribute and
help in the mission cause &#7602280;rough the medium of the Church. All the
female members of the Church are not automatically members of the
Womens Miss_ionary Band. The women (no age limit) express their desire
to be a member of the band.
Missions is promoted by the Womens Missionary Band through the wor
ship services emphasizing missions, visitation, hospital work, community
projects, prayer bands and the raising of funds. We honor our women,
who have done a great work in promoting missions, but the great com
mission is the responsibility of the entire Church.
PUBLISHING DEPARTMENT
The publications in any country greatly affect its citizens. It has been
proven that this influences what people buy, how they dr&#6619251;s, and what
they believe and how they act. Our Publishing Department has done
wonderful, but there is an increasing demand for more publicatio&#7209075; of
literature that will glorify God and cause people to turn from evil. Prayer
fully and &#6684777;nancially we can support our new publishing house by sup
plying facilities whereby &#7602280;ousands of souls can be reached &#7602280;rough this
medium. Co&#7143533;endation to all who have made improvements in our
publications and to those who have given support.
YOUTH LIFE TEAMS
This Committee highly endorses the portion of the General Overseer's
Annual Address regarding Youth Life Teams. We wish to encourage the
pastor of each local church to train, and organize one or more teams in
his church. He should see that the members are active in witnessing and
in soul winning.
VICTORY LEADERS BAND
The General Overseer wisely advised us to use Victory Leaders instead
of VLB so that non-members of the Church will know what we are
talking about. Since the Victory Leaders Band is to win young people
and train them in the ways of the Lord and His Church, it is necessary
for the leaders to involve each one in the services. Parents, let us at
tend the Victory Leaders services and assist our young people in any way
that we can.
TOMLINSON COLLEGE
The wonderful response by the youth of our Church's junior college,
Tomlinson College, is to be commended. Many have inquired about the

138 MINUTES OF THE 65TH ANNUAL ASSE&#5046338;LY
transfer of credits for those who have completed &#7602280;e two years of train
ing there. No student who has made application through the recom
mended channels for having credits transferred from Tomlinson Co&#7077996;ege
has been refused.
Tomlinson College graduates have been accepted as transfer students
in twelve senior colleges and universities in nine different states. Four
of these are state supported. Additional institutions will accept students
this year. This acceptance assures that the credits earned at Tomlinson
College will be honored at virtually every senior college or universi&#7602297;
when proper application is made to &#7602280;at institution after a student has
successfully completed the associate degree program at Tomlinson College.
A quality program is given at Tomlinson College. &#5505128;e courses are on
college level comparable to that in fully accredited co&#7077996;eges. Those &#7602290;ans
fe&#7471218;ing have maintained a grade level as good, or better, &#7602280;an that which
they had at Tomlinson College. It is felt that each member of the Church
of God of Prophecy can fully recommend their Church's college to our
young people seeking quality education.

11:48 Report of Ways and Means Committee. The report was accepted
as read.
Ways and Means Committee Report
To the 65th Annual Assembly of the Church of God, Greetings:
We, your Ways and Means Committee, after careful and prayerful de
liberation, submit the following report:
SECTION 1
SUNDAY SCHOOL TITHES: It has been called to our attention that
several churches with the approval of their Sunday Schools, in receiving
the Sunday School offering, receive only one offering; with portions of
the offerings to be used for different projects.
For example: A portion for the operation of &#7602280;e. Sunday School; a por
tion for the flower fund; a portion for the building fund; etc.
We recommend only the money that is used for the opera&#7602281;on of the
Sunday School is the portion that is to be tithed. This Commi&#7602393;e calls
to your attention that Orphanage money should not be tithed by the lo
cal church.

MINU&#5505093;S OF &#5505096;E 65TH &#4259918;NUAL ASSE&#5046338;LY 139
SECTION 2
Under The Present Financial System of the Church of God of Prophecy,
of the 1969 Assembly Minutes, page 163, section 3, under the title Orphan
age, the present reading is: "The General Treasurer sends 10 per cent
of the Assembly offering from each state to the respective state treasurer
for the general state fund."
We &#7602280;erefore recommend that the above reading be adjusted to read:
The General Treasurer sends 10 per cent of the Assembly offering from
each state or country to the respective state or national treasurer for the
general state or national fund.
SECTION 3
Under &#7602280;e Ways and Means Committee report on page 156, section 7, No.
7 of the 1969 Assembly Minutes, the &#6684777;rst sentence reads: "We recom
mend that &#7602280;e allotments of overseers outside the United States con
tinue to be set by the World Mission Committee according to the eco
nomic and monetary systems of the different countries involved and that
these amounts be printed in the minutes as a supplement to the Ways
and Means Committee report."
We recommend that this be adjusted to read: We recommend
that the allo&#7602285;ents of the overseers outside the United States continue
to be set by the World Mission Committee according to the economic and
monetary system of the different countries involved and that it be left
to the discretion of the World Mission Committee whether to print &#7602280;ese
amounts in the minutes as supplement to the Ways and Means Committee
report.
SECTION 4
There were other subjects that were brought to the attention of this
Committee. Since there will be a Committee appoined to study the &#6684777;nances
of the Church, we feel that they could make a thorough study of these
subjects. Where expenses are involved, with this said Committee, we
leave this to the discretion of the Executive Committee.
We are grateful to God and to our leader, Bishop M. A. Tomlinson,
for the outstanding Address he delivered to this 65th A&#7209070;ual Assembly.
We feel that this Assembly has made a giant step. The Committee to be
appointed to study the &#6684777;nances of the Church needs the prayers of every
member. Shall we all stand at this time, join hands and pray a mighty
prayer in their behalf.
SECTION 5
With reference to all of the other sections of the Ways and Means
Committee Report as printed in the minutes of the 64th General As
sembly, we recommend that the same be carried over this year and be
included in this report:
1. We recommend that the allotment of the General Overseer and that
the question of pay for incidental expenses plus any and all personal
necessities be left to the discretion of the Executive Co&#7143533;ittee.
We recommend that all general workers appointed by the General Ov&#6619250;-

140 MINUTES OF THE 65TH ANNUAL ASSEMBLY
seer receive an allotment of $150.00 a week, if funds are available; and
that the question of pay for incidental expense incurred by these gen
eral workers be left to the discretion of the Executive Committee.
We recommend that the state overseers receive an allotment of $150.00
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 SOPA and the overseer's con
vention love offering, and we encourage everyone to stand by your over
seer with your love offerings. It has been brought to our attention that
in a few cases there was exercised some ex&#7602290;emity in raising the con
vention offering for the overseer by making it to become competitive
and compulsory giving. We feel that this effort should be a genuine love
offering rather than it becoming competitive or compulsory. We do not
intend to discourage the state secretary's planning which would help to
boost the overseer's love offering; however, aiiy such planning should be
executed by voluntary response. Should there not be sufficient SOPA
funds to cover his expense as overseer, it is recommended that the sur
plus tithes, if there be any, be used to supplement the expense of the
overseer.
We further recommend that the pastor receive an amount not to ex
ceed $150.00 a week from the tithes of the local church after General
Headquarters and the state overseer have received their portions, if f&#7667822;ds
are available. This does not include offerings and poundings received by
the pastor.
Surplus tithes accruing in any local church is left in the local church
treasury until after the last Sunday in June at which time it is prop
erly divided into three equal parts: one part is sent to the General Treas
urer to be used at &#7602280;e discretion of the Executive Committee; one part
is sent to the state treasurer to be used at &#7602280;e discretion of the state
&#6684777;nance and appropriations committee; one part is left in the local church
to be used at the discretion of the pastor and local church committee
appointed by the pastor.
2. We recommend the following portions be designated as Tabernacle
Fund:
1. Not less than 50 per cent of the CP&#5046337; membership each year after
10 per cent is deducted for Ministerial &#4259945;d;
2. 50 per cent of the CPMA state convention offerings which presently
remains in the state treasury;
3. 10 per cent of the state and national convention offerings and As
sembly offerings of the Orphanage and Bible Training Institute; and
10 per cent of national and international accounts of Ministerial Aid
and Missions.
3. &#5505128;is Committee wishes to extend our thankfulness and .commenda
tion to the Victory Leaders of the Church of God for their response
toward the You&#7602280; Honor Club. We express profound interest in this

MINU&#4522151; OF THE 65TH ·ANNUAL ASSEMBLY 141
worthy cause and heartily encourage and urge our young people to respond
to the call of the Youth Honor Club which is helping to &#6684777;nance the con
struction of our monumental White Wing Publishing House.
4. We recommend that $100.00 be contributed from the general funds
for each $100.00 contributed &#6684786;om the state funds for the purpose of open
ing up new &#6684777;elds, and that the amount for any one state be limited
to $750.00. 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 of a work started in a new &#6684777;eld, a loan up to the amount
of $100.00 may be obtained from the general funds on a down payment
for a lot on which to build a church.
5. We recommend that the third Sunday offering received by the local
church for the district overseer be discontinued in order that the local
church may have this time to expedite important local church &#6684777;nancial
matters. We further recommend that a love offering be received for &#7602280;e
district overseer in his district convention. If the district overseer is re
quested by the state_ overseer to perform a duty involving considerable
expense, the state overseer will be responsible for such expense.
6. We recommend that the White Wing Messenger continue to be
printed on a weekly basis and the subscription rate to be $3.50 per year.
7. Since the Assembly has left the decision of the Executive Committee
(composed of the General Overseer, General Treasurer, and Manager of
the White Wing Publishing House) to determine the incidental expense
incurred by the general workers, and inasmuch as there is a set amount
by the government for an executive worker to receive, we recommend that
this matter be left to the Executive Committee to act as circumstances may
necessitate.
8. We recommend that the 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 applicable
to pastors and full-time evangelists.
9. 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 reco&#7143533;end 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 monthly report to the General Treasurer.
10. We recommend that the state overseer and the state &#6684777;nance and
appropriations committee give earnest consideration to pastors of our small
er churches, thereby working out a plan for their substantial assistance.
Commendations are extended_ to those states whose overseers and &#6684777;nance
and appropriations committees are using state funds to help weak churches,
needy pastors and new &#6684777;elds.
This Committee is in profound concern and sympathy with the opera
tion o&#3801190; our local churches and the heavy &#6684777;nancial responsibilities which

142 MINUTES OF T&#4718661; 65TH ANNUAL ASSEMBLY
they face. With reference to this knowledge, we refer to &#7602280;e &#6684777;nancial
system as recorded in the Assembly Minutes which says, "The tithes are
for the support of &#7602280;e 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 &#7602280;e business of a ministry is transacted; thus, the ministry includes
any and all phases of the Church mi&#7209065;stry, such as all church prope&#7602411;,
equipment, maintenance, etc.
11. We recommend 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. This 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 that an offering
be received each night as a revival offering. These offerings should be
turned into the local church treasurer earmarked as "revival offerings 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 &#7602280;e evangelist up to the amount of
$15.00 each night. We further recommend that a love offering be re
ceived each seven&#7602280; night of the revival for that evangelist, in addition to
the regular $15.00 nightly offering.
Pastors of participating local churches should notify the General Head
quarters office in charge of evangelism of &#7602280;eir willingn&#6619251;s 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 evangelis&#7602281;c
efforts.
The White Wing Publishing House announces that a 10 per cent dis
count will be given to licensed ministers on all cash merchandise orders,
except church signs, flags and accessories. This includes licensed evan
gelists' printing supplies such as business calling cards, stationery, etc.
To be eligible for this discount, note on all orders that you are a licensed
minister. This does not include lay ministers. All orders will be plus
postage.
12. We recommend that sufficient amount of the general funds be used
to pay for the first 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
printed &#6684777;rst.
We therefore recommend that the amount to be used for this work be
left to the discretion of the Executive Committee.
13. We recommend that the allotments of the overseers outside the
United States con&#7602281;nue to be set by the World Mission Co&#7143533;ittee ac
cording to the economic and monetary system of the different countries
involved and that it be left to the discretion of the World Mission Com
mittee whether to print &#7602280;ese amounts in the minutes as supplement to

MINUTES OF THE 65TH ANNUAL ASSEMBLY 143
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 auxiliaries and the various departments of
the Church and be sent to the overseers and pastors of the churches in
the territories involved. It is felt by this Committee that the churches
outside the United States must be as well informed concerning the finan
cial 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 rec
ommends that where our inte&#7471214;ational banking system is adopted, the
overseer come under the tithe system reporting the amount of ti&#7602280;es re
ceived from his churches to the General Overseer on the special report
form, and when necessary the allotment be supplemented &#6684786;om the gen
eral tithes of each respective country or territory.
When there is not sufficient tithes to cover the allo&#7602285;ents, we then
recommend that the remaining portion be supplied by the Mission Depart
ment, if funds are available. It is the feeling of this Committee &#7602280;at
each overseer should receive an allotment in the cu&#7471218;ency of the country
or the territory he represents in keeping with the economic conditions
of that coun&#7602290;y.
14. We recommend that the plan of each member giving a love offering
each month to increase the fourth Sunday offering for the state overseer
be continued, and that &#7602280;e pastor and ba&#3801198;d leaders see to it that this plan
be carried out in all churches 100 per cent.
15. We recommend that all Victory Leaders Band, Sunday Sch&#7274607;l, Mis
sion, Church of Prophecy Marker Ass&#7274595;iation, White Wing Publishing House,
Orphanage, and Bible Training Institute tithes be placed in &#7602280;e General
Ti&#7602280;e Fund.
16. 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.
17. We recommend that the tithes of non-members that are paid into
the local treasury should be executed &#6815974;ough the re+\#Uchannel the
same as tithes of members.
18. We recommend that 20 per cent of the state convention offerings
of the Womens Missionary Band, Victory Leaders Band, Sunday School,
and Church of Prophecy Marker Ass&#7274595;iation be left in the state treasury
for the purpose of state work.
19. We recommend that each overseer see to it that all state conven
tion offerings raised in his state be executed only as authorized by the
Assembly.
20. We recommend that in case of any additional general workers be
&#6881390;g appointed by the General Overseer, their allotments be determined
by the Executive Committee.

144 MINUTES OF THE 65TH ANNUAL ASSEMBLY
21. We recommend &#7602280;at if there should be a de&#6684777;cit incurred in print
ing and mailing the White Wing Messenger, such de&#6684777;cit be paid from the
General Fund.
22. We recommend that each member continue to give one dollar a year
to boost the General Property Fund. These dollars should be sent to &#7602280;e
General Treasurer with the local church clerk's monthly report or as soon
as possible (this is in addition to the &#4522093;ergency Dollar).
23. We recommend that the World Headquarters Construction Commit
tee be given opportunity to study, introduce and promote feasible plans
that would implement the advancement of our projected building pro
gram. We further recommend that this Committee receive and consider
any and all plans that may be presented by individuals pertaining to the
&#6684777;nancing and development of our new headquarters complex.
24. We recommend &#7602280;at all tabernacle receipts be placed in savings ac
counts until the proper time for construction.
25. Supplement to Assembly Minutes, 62nd Annual Assembly: We rec
ommend that the following be added to the "Present Financial System of
the Church of God of Prophecy"; Section 5-MISSION MO&#5111877;Y-para
graph 2 on page 177 should read: "The General Treasurer sends 10 per
cent of the Assembly offering from each state or country to the respec
tive 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 of
fering 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 &#4259945;d Fund." Section 9-Victory Leaders Band 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 respec
tive state or national treasurer for &#7602280;e general 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 &#7602290;easurer of the local church sends 10 per cent of tithes received
each month to the overseer of his state, country or territory. The bal
ance of the tithes, after General Headquarters and the state or national
overseer have received their portion, remains in the local church treas
ury to pay the pastor. The Assembly agrees that the pastor receive
$150 a week from the tithes, if funds are available.
Surplus tithes acc-`]#Uin any local church is left in the local church
treasury until after the last Sunday in June, at which time it is properly
divided into &#7602280;ree equal parts: one part is sent to the General Treasurer

sent to the state treasurer to be used at the discretion of the state &#6684777;nance
and appropriations committee; one part is left in the local church &#7602287; be
used at the discretion of the pastor and local church committee, appointed
by the pastor.
Overseers in the United States are to receive no more than $150 a
week, plus an amount not to exceed $200 a month for office expenses
from the tithes received from the churches, if funds are available. Any
funds in excess of this amount received by the overseer are to be sent
to the state treasurer to be placed in the general state fund for the state
work, especially to assist pastors of weaker churches.
Overseers outside the United States receive an allotment in the cur
rency of the country or territory they represent in keeping with the
economic conditions of that country. These allotments are set annually
by the World Mission Committee and World Mission Secretary.
The Assembly has *^_Uthat tithes are for the support of the min
is&#7602290;y only. Surplus tithes received at General Headquarters are disbursed
at the discretion of the General Overseer and General Treasurer to aid
overseers in states not self-supporting. The Ministerial Aid Fund re

ury. The General &#5505138;easurer is sent 10 per cent of the balance and the

mended that 10 per cent of state and national convention offerings and
Assembly offerings of the Orphanage Fund be sent to General Head
quarters for the Tabernacle Fund.
4. EMERGENCY FUND ANO GENERAL PROPERTY FUND. All min
isters and members are to pay one dollar a year into the treasury of
the local churches where their memberships are, and the &#7602290;easurer sends
the emergency dollars as collected with his monthly report. The Assem
bly recommended that each member continue to give one dollar a year
to boost the General Property Fund. These dollars should also be sent to the
General Treasurer with the local church clerk's monthly report (this is
in addition to the emergency dollar). The Ministerial Aid Fund receives
10 per cent of all emergency money sent to headquarters.
5. MISSION MONEY. The second Sunday missionary offerings and mis

money. The General Treasurer is sent 5 per cent of the 40 per cent por
tion remaining in the state treasury from the state convention mission

important local church &#6684777;nancial matters. We further recommend that
a love offering be received for the district overseer in his district con
vention. 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.
8. SOPA AND FOURTH SUNDAY OFFERING. The fourth Sunday is
set by the Assembly for every local church to receive an offering for
the overseer of the state, country, or territory, and the pastor, or other
selected person, is to give &#7602280;e local treasurer the money collected by
the ABM leaders. After the local treasurer sends 10 per cent of these
offerings to the state treasurer, the balance is sent to the state overseer.
The SOFA is for keeping the overseer on the field by providing travel
expense. If there is not sufficient SOP A funds to cover his expense as
overseer, the surplus tithes, if there is any in the state treasury, may
be used to supplement the SOFA funds. DO NOT send any of the SOFA
money to the General Treasurer. Each local church is instructed to
receive a pounding for &#7602280;e -overseer once or twice a year.
9. VICTORY LEADERS OFFERING. All money raised for the Free
Literature Fund by the Victory Leaders is given in at the state convention

special offering. For improving, building, and maintaining the state
headquarters, 20 per cent of the state convention free literature offering
is left in the state treasury. The General Treasurer receives 10 per

MINUTES OF THE 65TH ANNUAL ASSEMBLY 151
CPMA offerings remain &#6881390; the l&#7274595;al church treasury and are given in

churches to acquaint our people with the doctrine and practices of the

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 bneness 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 &#7602280;e 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 with
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 for the local church is appointed by the pastor
and this appointment should be made in the October quarterly conference.

MINUT&#4522067; OF THE 65TH ANNUAL ASSEMBLY 155
Either a man or woman may serve as clerk and the same person may
continue to serve year after year. Care should be taken in appo&#6881390;ting
a person quali&#6684777;ed for the position, as the clerk is responsible to keep
accurate and careful records of the business and work of the church,
make a record and give date of organization, record the name and date
of everyone 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 is appointed in the same manner as the
clerk. It is advised that one person serve as both clerk and &#7602290;easurer,
when convenient and satisfactory to the local church. The treasurer will
receive and disburse all funds of the l&#7274595;al church, including tithes, aux
iliary 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-Sunday School,
Womens Missionary Band, Victory Leaders Band, Church of Prophecy
Marker Association, Assembly Band Movement-are appointed at the pas
tor's discretion any time from the &#6684777;rst Sunday of August to the October
conference.
Each pastor, with the assistance of the deacons, if the church has deacons,
should divide his members into bands of ten or twelve and appoint a
leader for each band. The leader should keep in touch with each mem
ber of the band, and if any should move away, communication 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 re7-Uor called business meeting
and are authorized to bargain, buy, sell, convey or encumber the local
property o&#7209068;y when authorized to do so by the local church in a re7X#U
or called business meeting, and with the written consent of the Gen
eral Trustees.
6. Other Officers and Leaders. The Assembly has authorized the pas
tor to appoint a church literature representative soon after his appoint
ment in Au7K#UThe song leader, pianist, organist, ushers, and Bible
Training Institute booster are appointed by the pastor any time from
Lhe &#6684777;rst Sunday of August to the October conference.
Business Meetings
Each local church should hold a reX#Ubusiness conference once a
quarter. It has been the practice to observe the &#6684777;rst Monday night in
January, April, July, and October for the re7X#U quarterly 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.

156 MINUTES OF THE 65TH ANNUAL ASSEMBLY
Every member, male and female, should take an interest in and at
tend every business session if possible. Women are to take no open part
in discussing or deciding questions, but should always be there and si
lently 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 set&#7602284;ed by mutual agreement. If &#7602280;ere
is division 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; if he shows the
good spirit so &#7602280;at he can be heard, then show him courtesy. If he
proves to be wrong, deal with him as the Bible directs. Then, take up
the original subject and dispose of it in harmony and love.
If a matter cannot be set&#7602284;ed satisfactorily by the l&#7274595;al church, they
should call for the assistance of the state overseer. If they are still
unable to reach a satisfactory conclusion, it should· be referred to the
General 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.

Advice to Members
157
As a member, you count one and should attend every re&#6684777;)d#"sepKY#"
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 &#6750322;eet them.
Show special courtesy to strangers who may attend one of your sep5Y#"
As a rule take part in the singing.
Be ready for vocal prayer when called on or prompted by the Spirit.
Be ready for testimony when such is in order.
Stand by your pastor or appointed leader and assist 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 hypocrite.
~Guard your conversation. Be careful what you say about a brother,
sister 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.
&#2555996;
Don't yield to discouragement or despondency.
�
�e 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, wear
ing dresses of high-enough necklines, low-enough hemlines, sleeves of
reasonable leng&#7602280;. The wearing of extremely sheer fabrics is unbecom
ing to a saint and the wearing of shorts in public should never be prac
ticed. You should never wear gold for ornament or decoration. Finger
rings, bracelets, earrings, necklaces, locke&#7602291; and large showy pins-these
are also unbecoming to a saint of God. Rouge, lipstick, nail polish and
extremely costly perfumes are used to satisfy the pride of life and there-

158 MINUTES OF THE 65TH ANNUAL ASSEMBLY
fore 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 Timo&#7602280;y 2:9, 10
and 1 John 2:15-17.
You should not permit yourself to be trapped by worldly attractions.
The Bible says, "Neither give place to the devil." Dabbling wi&#7602280; 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.
Always tithe your income and put it in the church treasury. Make
freewill offerings other than your tithes.
Younger members should not keep company or associate tuo 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 an
other under any circumstances even if divorced. Neither should a mem
ber marry anyone who has a living companion although such a person
may be divorced.
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. This should be . done by setting a good example before them and
by instructing them wi&#7602280; such a good spirit &#7602280;at 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 un
der reasonable control at all times and by restraining them from run
ning about over the house of God, especially while the services are in
pro&#6750322;ess.
The White Wing Messenger is a very important part of the Church
of God. It should be read re,FX!g#Uby 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 earnest worker for our church paper
-the White Wing Messenger.
&#5505128;ese are the 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 bro&#7602280;ers 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
w&#3014869;ching for your soul as they must give &#6357102; account (Hebrews 13:17),
and it is hoped they will be received with the same meek, gentle spirit
in which they are given.
