Prefatory Notes
The 68th Annual Assembly was the second to be held in our large and
commodious new Tabe&#7471214;acle. There was a record registration of 21,073
delegates, from the United States, Australia, Bahamas, Bermuda, Canada,
Costa Rica, Cyprus, Dominican Republic, El Salvador, England, Guatemala,
Honduras, India, Jam&#6357097;ca, Korea, Mexico, Philippines, Puerto Rico, Virgin
Islands, and Turks Island.
This was a great Assembly, outstanding for the spirit of unity and
fellowship among the saints of God. The mighty Holy Ghost favored us with
His sacred presence all the way through, anointing the ministry and directing
us in the business portion of the Assembly. Those in charge of departmental
programs had sought the Lord for His help in adv&#6357102;ce, and they were
rewarded for their efforts as the Spirit came to their assistance.
Pre-Assembly activities included the dedication of the new park and
Headquarters Marker on the front lawn next to Keith Street, which was a
project of the Church of Prophecy Marker Association; the Presbytery
Meeting and Dinner hosted by the General Overseer and his wife; the
Tomlin&#7536751;n College Scholarship Fund Banquet; and the annual service in
Fields of the W&#7274607;d, Cherokee County, North Carolina, with a large crowd in
attendance.
A high light of this Assembly was a visit from Tennessee's Gove&#7471214;or
Winfield Dunn, who addressed the capacity crowd during the Victory
Leaders' service.
As usual, the entire Assembly's proceedings were tape-recorded, making
&#6357102;y particular session available for review, as well as facilitating the
compilation of these Assembly Minutes. Worthy of commendation are the
news media-radio, television, and newspapers-for their excellent coverage.
All who lent their assistance in any way are due much thanks and apprecia
tion for helping to make this the great Assembly that it was.
The 69th Annual General Assembly will be held, the Lord willing, August
20-26, 1974, at the same location.

Responses from Overseers as called by the General Overseer.
SUCH AS I HAVE-evangelistic message and altar call by Benjamin
Lawrence, Ho&#7471214;e Mission Worker. Excerpts:
Have is a verb meaning to possess, to cause to be, be affected by. A verb
expresses action. You can't give something you don't have. In America,
people &#6357106;e usually classified as rich or poor. In some countries, they are
classified as the have and have not. Generally the have get more, and have not
get less. Jesus has something to give regardless of your status in life. The
world expects us to have something they don't have. Acts 3:1-7.
Seemingly Peter and John hadn't forgotten to pray. You must keep up your
prayer life. Some people expect to have close communion with God when they
don't pray o&#6684788;en. These two ministers didn't have silver and gold. This doesn't
mean that you can't have silver and gold and have God on the inside. These
ministers had something dwelling on the inside. Peter said, "Such as I have
give I thee." They realized that this man had a need. This world has a need.
This man was bo&#7471214; with a problem that prohibited him &#6684786;om walking. These
men had Jesus. Peter took the man by the right hand and lifted him up and
his feet and ankles were strengthened so that he walked into the temple
praising God. Peter and John didn't have the power, but they had something
inside that caused them to get in contact with Jesus. This same Jesus is here
tonight; He is ready to bless you; He is a present help in the time of need.
Acts 1:6-8.
The disciples were worried about who would be the big man &#6881390; the kingdom.

8 MINUTES OF THE 68TH ANNUAL ASSEMBLY
When Samuel was growing old, the Israelites kept asking Samuel &#6684783;r a king.
He anointed Saul, and the Church ceased to be the Church in the wilde&#7471214;ess.
The kingdom that Jesus was tal&#7012457;ng about was not a literal kingdom.
Some people are looking for the power to cast out devils and to raise the
dead. We need the power to treat our neighbors right and to live right. With
that power, it is not hard to cast out devils. Jesus said that ye shall receive
&#7340143;wer after that the Holy Ghost has come upon you-not before. Some
attributes of the Holy Ghost: a source of wisdom-John 14:26; the source of
miraculous power-Matthew 12:28; directing where to preach the gospel
Acts 16:4-6; He strives with sinners-Genesis 6:3; He createth and giveth
life-Job 33:4; He teaches-John 14:26; He searches all things-I
Corinthians 12:11. When you have something, somebody else will know that
you have it. Acts 5:29-39.
Whatever your problem is, it is not too hard for God. He is able to make a
way out of no way. As a Christian, we are saved, and we must try to save
someone else. I Samuel 17: 11.
There was a battle, between the Philistines and the Children of Israel,
against sin-not individuals. A young man n&#6357101;ed David was told by his
father to take some food to his brothers who were in the war. When David
drew near the battle, the Philistines were on one mountain, the Children of
Israel on another; and in the valley below was the giant Goliath challenging
the Children of Israel who were afraid. The Bible says to resist the devil and he
&#7798889;ll flee from you. David didn't tremble when he heard the challenge, because
he knew what God had done for him. David said, "Who is this uncircumcised
Philistine who defieth the army of God?" David didn't let the size of Goliath
bother him. There are many giants in the land today, but we can't let these
giants scare us. We need to get ready to &#6684777;ght these giants and have
something on the inside. David told how God had blessed him. When the bear
and lion came after his father's sh&#6619237;p, David slew them with his hand. David
had confidence in what he had. When Saul was told, he requested David
brought to him. David told Saul all about it. Saul said, "If you are going, I am
going to put my armour on you." David realiz&#6619236; that these t&#6815849;ngs had not
been proven. He laid them aside and got that old faithful sling and some
smooth stones. When the time came, David and Goliath stepped out. Goliath
said: "Who is this man who cometh to me? His countenance is fair and ruddy.
I will f&#6619237;d your flesh to the fouls of the air." Goliath didn't know that God
was in David. David said, "You come to me with a sword and a shield, but I
come to you in the name of the Lord God of Israel, Whom thou persecuted."
He gave that sling a Holy Ghost swing. God &#6553705;rected the stone, and it sunk
into the &#6684783;rehead of the giant. David had something on the inside. There are
giants of adultery, envy, and hatred in the world; but in order to &#6684777;ght these
giants, you have to have something on the inside. There is a &#6750313;ant of anti
Church of God. In order to &#6684777;ght this, we have to have a vision and something

on the inside. God is able to give it to you. The Holy Ghost and Jesus are
here. Jesus says, "Come unto me all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I
will give you rest." You can have whatever you desire from the Lord. We
must have something in order to affect this world. We are in the right place to
get it. Who will come forward and pray at the altar?

2:20 LOVE AND INSPIRATION-message by E. H. Griffith, Field
Secretary. Excerpts: Luke 10:25-27 and I Corinthians 13:13. I read recently
of the custom of a partictEE'tribe for one to retu&#7471214; to the place of birth for
burial. One person found so much envy and hatred against his tribe that he

asked his friend to take him to the pines and cremate his body; scatter the
remains over the place where he was rejected. He was asked, "Why?" He
replied, "It is better to cover the earth with love, than to let it cover you with
hatred." Love will inspire others. Love will be effective by the way it is
expressed in o&#7667826; lives to others; love will motivate; it wi&#7077996; accept and respond
to the truth. Jesus didn't rebuke the lawyer &#7798889;th harsh words. He questioned
the lawyer and he answered, "Thou shall love the Lord thy God with all thy
heart, with all thy soul and with all thy mind." That's a lot of love. The only
way we will reach perf&#6619235;tion is through love. Love will observe the advice and
teachings of the Assembly. Love will respect and submit to those over them
in the Lord. Love is not a driving force-it is a compelling power. Those who
go against the teachings of the Church and the Assembly are not motivated
by love. Love is firm and &#7798889;ll always stand for the truth regardless of whether
brother, sister, relative, or friend. Love will accept moderation, the act of
keeping within the bounds; freedom from excess. We need a little moderation.
"Let yo&#7667826; moderation be kno&#7798894; unto all men." Philippians 4: 5.
Love is sub&#7143529;ssion, and it will consider and accept the General Overseer's
Annual Address to this Assembly. The genuine love of God will inspire and
bless this Assembly. We don't need a sprinkle, we need an outpouring. Don't
you think that the Holy Ghost can operate better where the love of God is
present? He can convict those who are not saved; but where the love of God is
made manifest, the Holy Ghost can work in a greater measure. Love and
consideration will resp&#6619235;t the time the Gener&#6357100; Overseer has allotted you on
the Assembly program. Love will resp&#6619235;t others, regardless of age or
circumstance. Job 32:1-8.
Job b&#6619235;ame right&#6619247;us in his eyes. He was once referred to as a perfect man.
Job's friends di&#6553710;'t have an answer, so they condemned him. Elihu standing
by observed the situation, and he was moved. Verse 7, "I said, Days should
speak, and mtt^L'of years should teach wisdom." This young man
respected Job and his other friends b&#6619235;ause of their age. He waited until the
proper time to speak.
A minister addressed the World's Fair in San Francisco, and he denounced
the blood of Christ. When he finished, an elderly sister rose to her feet and
raised her voice in song, "There is a &#6684783;untain &#6684777;lled with blood drawn from
Emanuel's veins." Shortly one hundred others stood and joined in, and then
one thousand stood. There is a fountain that never runs dry-the more you
draw &#6684786;om it, the more there is. It doesn't matter how many denounce the
blood, it is still in the Bible-saved, sanctified, and filled &#7798889;th the Holy
Ghost. This young man respected their age, and he bec&#6357101;e inspired and said
in verse 8, "There is a spirit in m&#6357102;." There is a spirit in everyone here today.
The inspiration of the Almighty giveth ·understanding. This young man
became &#6881390;spired, and the inspiration would give Job the answer. Evidently
the others were not inspired, so they didn't have the answer. There is a

difference in love and indignation, and I think this young man had a little
indignation, according to the reading, but he stayed in his place. We wot.'all
get along better if we stayed in our places. I Corinthians 13: 13.
One writer gives the meaning of charity, trtI'grace, much more excellent
than spiritual gifts. We wotl'convince the world if we had the spiritual gifts.
You wot.'convince the world if you had what it takes to operate the spiritual
gifts. Faith, hope and love are the principle graces with charity being the
chief. Charity is the end to which the other two are the means. The climax for
which we are striving is perfection. May we in this Assembly manifest love
and inspiration. We wot.x'want these committees to create an atmosphere
of indi
&#6750318;ation and hate. I feel that these committees can find the solution.
The love of God must cover their minds and hearts. When we say we are not
perfect, that means we are not complete in love. When we are complete in
charity, we won't have to worry about faith and hope. May we in this
Assembly become a little closer to one another and to the Church of God. May
the Lord help us as we move forward as one until we reach our destination.
We need love in a &#6750322;eat way in this Assembly.

Report Of The Visua I Department
To the 68th Annual Assembly of the Church of God of Prophecy, August
21, 1973:
T&#6815849;s Assembly year the Visual Department has sent out 385 16mm sound
&#6684777;lms and slide sets to various churches, groups and individuals. Some of
these requests have been from p&#6619247;ple who are not associated with the church.
Several copies have b&#6619237;n re-printed of such popular &#6684777;lms as "Biblical
Wonder In The Smoky Mount&#6357097;ns," "In The Lands Of The Book," and
"Island Mission."
Two &#6684777;lms have been released this year. "Worship In The Outdoors," a fi&#7077997;
taken &#6684786;om the Television Special, and a film of the 1972 General Assembly,
"A New Sanctuary-1972."
Steve Byrd has been very helpful with the photography in the Visual
Department by supplying pictures for Tomlinson College, Public Relations
and other Church Departments.
This year the Visual Department has tried to be of service to the church in
every way possible.

3:40 Sharing Fields of the Wood With You-John A. and Anita Stubbs.
Excerpts: From February 4 to August 17, we kept a r&#6619235;ord of special groups
coming to Fields of the ·wood; 2,661 persons came in 86 groups; 30 were
Baptists; 22 were Church of God of Prophecy, and others were civic groups.
Some outside ministers offer a trip to Fields of the Wood as a reward for
certain achievements in their local churches. An increasing number of local
residents bring relatives and friends there, and m&#6357102;y return again &#6357102;d again.
Visitors decreased this year because of shortage of gas, &#6357102;d this affected the
use of o&#7667826; equipment. Much interest is manifested by the visitors, and many
express appreciation for such a unique progr&#6357101;. Some question how it is
maintained, and they think you are the finest people ever to make your
donations to the CPMA Department &#6684783;r this purpose.
3:47 Our Visit to the Ho&#7471214;s of Hittin-Ba&#7471214;ey Trogdon commented: It
was an honor to me to be the representative for the June 13 Progr&#6357101; in Israel.
Joe White, the Overseer of Israel, and his wife accompanied my wi&#6684773; and me.
When we arrived, it seemed that the Bible really &#6422629;came alive. I better
underst&#6357102;d the Scriptures dealing with these areas. On June 13, during
service at the marker on Homs of Hittin, I had the privilege of speaking. I felt
honored to stand near where Jesus stood when He called unto Him whom He
would; He ordained the twelve, &#6357102;d I could imagine the Lord &#6357102;d those
disciples on this mountain receiving the Great Commission to take this great
message to all the world. Our atto&#7471214;ey and several others were present. Joe
White, his wife, and Priscilla Trogdon spoke brie&#6684780;y. Ruth Ziat Simon from
Israel expressed appre&#6488169;ation of going to Mt. Hittin and attending the
Gener&#6357100; Assembly.

4:10 Then Christ Shall Come-playlet. Londa Richardson sang "The
Speckled Bird," as Sharon Pennington dressed in white, came forward
representing the Church. A gray robe was draped around the representative
of the Church showing when the darkness began to cover it, as spoken by
Isaiah. A black robe signified the Church completely covered as it was in the
Dark Ages. The Church rose again, the black and gray robes were removed,
and the Church grew. "When the Church of God Arises" was sung and the
white robe was removed revealing the Church in a wedding go&#7798894; and many
people gathered around. A representative of Christ entered and l&#6619236; the Bride
out as the Klapp Family sang "Here Comes the Bride." The Lord blessed, and
the Holy Ghost visited with a message and interpretation.
4:25 THE FINAL MARK-message by C. S. Pen&#7209065;ngton. Excerpts: For
years, we have worked at getting our churches to erect signs pointing to their
locations, but the mark my message is about is &#6553705;fferent. From the beginning
of the a&#7471209;se, s&#6815849;ne of the Church, the purpose of God has been that the Church
of God, His Body, strive toward that &#6684777;nal mark-the glorious mark of
perfection. The divinely outlined plan &#6684783;r the Church will be fulfilled before
the retu&#7471214; of Jesus Christ. Nothing shall prevent the Church from reaching
that final mark. We have been striving toward perfection, but are we still
preac&#6815849;ng perfection? Do we believe it? This is not to say that there will not be
opposition, and Satan will do all within his power to halt the progress of the
Church. The Church of God, the body of Christ will be without spot or
wrinkle, and Christ shall retu&#7471214; to rapture her out of this world. Will we be
ready when He comes? Philippians 3:13-15a ..
Another Scripture that would tie in with this, ''No man having put his hand
to the plow and looking back ... " Unless we have a goal to work toward, we
may make crooked paths. If we have something to work toward, we can make

MINUTES OF THE &#3539000;TH ANNUAL ASSEMBLY 17
a straight path, which c&#6357102;not be made by tu&#7209179;ng around and looking back,
but going on toward perfection. Paul urged forgetting those things that are in
the past, but reaching for those things that are be&#6684783;re us. God has been good
to the Church of God. His sheltering arms have protected us through the
storms and trials of life. We can get so engrossed with our past lives and
forget where we stand, &#6684783;rget that we are working toward the future. The past
is past, &#6357102;d we have no time to look back. No man having put his hand to the
plow and looking back is fit for the kingdom of heaven. We have been
commissioned to do one of the greatest jobs that man has ever tried. We
cannot afford to be slack. As members in particular of the Body of Christ, we
must measure to the standard of the great Church of God. Nothing short of
what God hath declared &#7798889;ll be acceptable in His sight. Proph&#6619235;y is being
&#14352699;lled every day, but the work of the Church of God must move at a pace as
never before. We must put on the whole armour of God. Satan knows time is
short, and he can see the children of God gathering together. The glory of the
last days Church of God must shine as never before as a light to those who are
gathering themselves together. The Scripture says, "Awake O Zion." Awake
Oh Church of God. I believe that the Church of God is awake and ready to
bring to close the work that God has ordained it to do. We have not reached
perfection, but we are striving daily to &#6684789;lfill the complete plan. I Corinthians
13:9, 10.
Today we only know, as Paul stated, in part. We must do all that we know
to do. God requires each of us to do everything that we know to do toward
making ourselves ready &#6684783;r that day-that &#6881492;al mark. We must do that
which we know to do-not in the ways of man, but in accordance to the way of
God. The only way to reach the &#6684777;nal mark of perfection is God's way. Paul
stated that when that which is perfect is come, then that which is in part shall
be done away with. Perfection can only be obtained when the Church of God
has fulfilled all that God has outlined. This was not set in operation by the
hands of man, but the Almighty God has b&#6619237;n directing the force of the
Church &#6684786;om the beginning. We must measure to the standard. The Church of
God shall go on to perfection with or without you or me. Man shall not stop
the victory that is ahead for the Church. Our beloved former General Overseer
said, "I can see nothing but victory on top of victory for the Church." Don't
doubt that the other sheep are coming, b&#6619235;ause the Bible says, "They will ask
their way to Zion." God can do a quick work, and I feel that God has a p&#6619247;ple
who will fall in line with the Church of God who will measure to the mark. We
must be concerned about causing the Church to shine &#6684783;rth as never before.
Ephesians 5: 25-27.
I think of a glorious Church, not having spot or wrinkle, or any such thing,
but that it should be holy and without blemish. Jesus purchased the Church
of God with His own blood. His love for the Church is beyond the
comprehension of human mind. According to the Scripture, the Son does not
&#7012462;ow the exact time of His ret&#7471331;; He must wait for the command of the

18 MINUTES OF THE &#3539000;TH ANNUAL ASSEMBLY
Father to retu&#7471214; and catch away the Bride. It shall be a glo&#7471209;ous Church,
washed in the bl&#7274607;d of the Lamb, made ready for the Bridegroom, perfected
according to the will of God. I believe the Lord has &#6750313;ven a ministry for the
perfecting of the Church, and I believe our ministers are more on fire than I
have ever experienced. It is time that we do all we can toward making
ourselves ready for that &#6684777;nal day. We had better take inventory. When the
final mark is reached, I want to be among those who are caught up to meet
Him in the air. I am l&#7274607;&#7012457;ng for the day when all of God's children are
gathered together, and from every co&#7471214;er of the earth, the sound of the
trumpet shall be heard, and Christ shall descend &#6684786;om heaven, and the graves
shall burst open and the dead in Christ shall rise first, those that &#6357106;e a&#7077993;ve
and rem&#6357097;n shall be caught up together to meet H&#6881389; in the air. Time is
drawing nearer. Colossians 1:28.
The building of the ark was the saving of Noah's people. It was not Noah's
business how it would get off the ground. He was only supposed to build it. If
you and I as ministers would preach the Word and carry out our part
according to the plan of God and what is handed do&#7798894; through the General
Assemblies, we will work the program exactly as God wants it. I know of
nothing that is more beautiful than the Church of God. I have heard lot of
people criticize it, but I want to stay with it to the end of the way. When the
final mark will be plac&#6619236; upon the Church and it has reached the state of
perfection and Jesus comes to sweep away that glorious Bride of His, I want
to be in that number.

LIVE Voice of Salvation &#5374049;dio Program. "Challenging Counterfeits,"
message by Elwood Matthews, Communications Minister. Excerpts: My
purpose is to ex&#7340143;se deceptive devices of the devil and to point you to the way
of escape. The areas of challen&#6750313;ng counterfeit that I sh&#6357100;l discuss are those
that affect the christians, ministry, leadership of the Church, and the sinners.
Since the devil has lost hold on the Christian, he tries to side track him. He
exposes the child of God to as many counterfeits as possible. The devil is
aware of the weaknesses of every child of God, and he sends barrages of
enticing and deceitful counterfeits. Some are bombarded with the counterfeit
of religious activity and social concern to replace the command of Jesus to

20 MINUTES OF THE &#3539000;TH ANNUAL ASSEMBLY
propagate the gospel. Participation in church programs is to be appreciated;
community-sponsored religious activities increase fellowship, consistent
stewardship is greatly n&#6619237;ded, faithful church attend&#6357102;ce is commendable,
and benevolent practices are admirable; but these activities must never place
precedence over the orders of Jesus to be witnesses unto Him. It is not
enough to provide finance to send men &#6357102;d women to lands across the sea, but
every Christian is to be a lighthouse in his community. The Christian must
not fo&#7077996;ow the example of Rehoboam. His father Solomon made shields of
gold, easily com&#7143529;tted to the hands of the guards of the king's house. Reho
bo&#6357101; failed to &#6684783;llow the Lord with all of his heart, and God allowed the king
of Egypt to invade Jerusalem and take away Solomon's treasures. For an
outward show, Rehoboam made shields of brass for the guards. In great
splendor, he journeyed to the temple &#6357102;d retu&#7471214;ed, knowing that the shields
were brass. You know about your personal experience with God. How tragic
when p&#6619247;ple are more concerned with the outward show of religion than with
quality! Religious activity and outward show, compared with inward
possession of contentment and unspeakable joy, are challenging counterfeits
of the en&#6619245;y.
Since creation, the de&#7733353;l has desired to con&#6684789;se man's priorities, esp&#6619235;ially
those of God's chosen leaders. In studying the Scriptures, at times the
leadership of the C&#6815849;ldren of Israel and the early Church allowed their
priorities to be confused. Aaron, the first Priest of Israel, became a victim of
the devil. While Moses was on Mt. Sinai receiving the laws from God, and
was delayed in retu&#7471214;ing, the people urged Aaron to m&#6357099;e gods. Aaron took
all their gold and made a golden calf and built an altar before it. This man,
whom God had chosen· to be the spokesman for Moses, allowed the people to
influence him &#6357102;d bring the sin of idolatry upon them. Ministers, which is
more important: have the acceptance of God, or the approval of the
congregation? If the priority of the ministry and the congregation are to do
God's will, the minister has the acceptance of the congregation and the
approval of God. Saul, the first king of Israel, was faced with the decision to
please the people or God. God commissioned Saul to destroy the Amalekites,
and Saul saved the best of the sheep and the oxen. When asked why he had
rejected the command of God, Saul expressed fear of the people. God give us
ministers who fear nothing but God. Give us leaders who would rather obey
God rather than to be popular &#7798889;th man. Give us ministers who unconsciously
detect the challenging counterfeits of the devil. In the early Church, the
Apostle Peter felt the pressure of the counterfeit of politics. He went to
Antioch; ate with the Gentiles; fellowshipped with them -until some brethren
from James, the General Overseer, came to visit. Peter withdrew, because he
was afr&#6357097;d of what the men from Headquarters would think. How many
ministers are plagued with the counterfeit of politics and put their best foot
&#6684783;rward only when someone from Headquarters visits! Is the man who is
called of God working for General Headquarters people, or is he working for

ES OF THE &#3539000;TH ANNUAL ASSEMBLY 21
vation of souls? Our work is judgment work, and we are not trying to
ead position wise. How must Christ look at those whom He has chosen
and bring forth fruit, who are conce&#7471214;ed about position and prestige
than with prayer and power. At Mars Hill, Paul allowed his intell&#6619235;t to
.ce power&#6684789;l preaching. He was among the Epicureans and Stoics, and he
anted a masterpiece concerning the unknown God, but there were little
Its. How disappointed he must have been in thinking of cities that he had
1iously visited. In Philippi, he cast the devil out of a girl, he was whipped
! imprisoned, at midnight he and Silas sang praise to God, and an
thquake tore up the house. The prison doors were o&#7340133;ned and the church
1s established. In Thessalonica, the leadership of the city said that they
ho have tu&#7471214;ed the world upside down have come hither also. Paul and Silas
ere sent away at night because of the confusion, but the Church was
stablished. His beautiful message at Athens brought little results, but he
.earned a lesson. He was different when he went from Athens to Corinth. He
wrote to the Corinthian Church that he came to them not with enticing words
of man's wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and power. The devil's
counterfeit was not for Paul. He wrote to Timothy when he knew that time of
his departure was at hand and someone would have to carry on, "Preach the
Word." Preach the Word, Timothy of: obedience, charity, purity, patience,
gentleness, peace, truth and right&#6619247;usness. Prea&#6488168; the Word to: reprove sin,
rebuke offenders, exhort the weak and sluggish by its comforting truth.
Timothy, don't get caught with custom, with opinions, with ideaologies; but
stay with the Word of God. Do the work of an evangelist faithfully,
steadfastly, boldly. I'm going to be leaving; but witness for Christ as I have,
proclaim the Church of God, suffer for Christ as I have; and join me in the
kingdom. Anything which takes priority over the preaching of God's Word is
a counterfeit &#6684786;om the devil.
The devil throws counterfeits at sinners. The Scriptures tell that in the
latter days some people will give he&#6619236; to seducing spirits and doctrine of
devils rather than complying with the Holy Spirit and doctrine of God. There
has been a great rise in the interest of the zodiac, astrology, ouija boards,
numerology, tea leaves, etc. No longer are these innocent games not taken
seriously. Educators and theolo&#6750313;ans are astonished. Colleges are offering
classes in witchcraft and magic. This is a counterfeit of the devil. Man is
created with a yea&#7471214;ing for spiritual fellowship with a creator. This desire will
be satis&#6684777;ed by a communion with the Spirit of God or its counterfeit. Only
you can decide how to satisfy this desire in your life. Jesus came to destroy
the works of the devil, and He is the answer to your n&#6619237;ds. Christ wants to
help ministers, christians, and sinners. (Altar invitation for any who are
plagued by a counterfeit.)

want everybody to know how we feel about things. The Psalmist Davie
"I was terribly afflicted." In his haste, he said that all men are liars. H,
a&#6684882;icted and backslidden when he said that. David confessed and said th
would render to the Lord; he would take the cup of salvation, pay his v
and quit talking about his brothers and sisters. When p&#6619247;ple are backs&#7077993;d
they are afflict&#6619236;. Some backsliders in the Church would come back if t
hadn't said too much. If you will face up to the truth, mercy &#14876885; meet )
Compassion is doing something about those who need help. The Churct.
God is headed toward victory on top of victory. We are going to face up to
truth &#6357102;d have mercy, and the Church wi&#7077996; &#6422629; at peace with one anoth,
James was talking to the Church: "Is any merry? let &#6881493; sing psalms, Is &#7471221;
sick among you? let him call &#6684783;r the elders of the church." Any churc
member who calls for the elders of the Church, even though he may b
backslidden, if that church has enough power to pray &#6881493; through, get hin
healed first. In that same atonement his sins will be forgiven. Salvation anc
healing are in the atonement. There is power in the Church. If we can get what
we ne&#6619236; to cause our people to get heal&#6881390;g, I be&#7077993;eve it would help them to stay
saved.
Something is going to happen to get our minds on God. We are going to
start loving one &#6357102;other, treat one another right, and we are not going to have
a home t&#7274607; good to have prayer meeting in. We can't have a car too good &#6684783;r
our brothers and sisters to ride in. The Lord knows how to take care of His
own, and He doesn't care what we have as long as we share with Him and one
another. God &#14876885; take care of the Church, but trans&#6750322;essors &#14876885; hurt. Let's
get close to God, live right, treat one another right and go to heaven. James
5:19, 20.
If we don't watch, we will become so symtematically minded until we won't
think we can do anything until we see the band leader or the pastor. James
said that if any of you convert &#6881493; and tu&#7471214; &#6881493; around, you save a soul &#6684786;om
death. You might not have time to get to the band leader. Reach down and
pull him out. Don't try to do it for show. Every time we get one converted in
the Church, love will cover a multitude of sins. It l&#7274607;ks like there are so many
going out. If you think of anybody who has aught against you, the ABM
spirit, which is the spirit of Christ, will help you to walk up to that person and
say, "If I have hurt you, let's get it straight."

8:25 Unity-message by Ray C. Wynn, General BTI Superintendent.
Excerpts: Unity &#6881390; fellowship is a must. Unity has a greater depth than mere
fellowship. Philipians 3: 16. Paul is saying that this must be a walk of unity.
To attain this unity, it is important that we use the same rule. It is impossible
to accomplish this by everyone having his rule. There must be only one rule or
one yardstick. He said, "Let us mind the same thing." Some say that the
Church l,as nigh standards to reach in order for the whole world to receive our
message and eventually come into that glorious Church, no spots, wrinkles,
nor blemishes. The Lord has set the goal, and we are to march &#6881390; that
direction. Isaiah 52:8. Eye to eye is a perfect picture of unity. I feel that the
Church at present doesn't have 20/20 vision, because we are not perfect.
Some of us are nearsighted, and some could be farsighted. Nature causes a
man's eyesight to become dim when he reaches a stage in life. As the Church
&#6750322;ows, it becomes stronger in the Lord, and we must walk in the light that the
Lord has given, and our vision is brighter. Let us not judge the Church by
what we see.
Several aspects of unity: It is togetherness, cooperation, oneness or
harmony. Many things have been accomplished because man united &#6684783;r a
cause-some things for good, &#6357102;d some not so good. We see the finished
result because man united for a cause. We have a great cause. Motto
"United we st&#6357102;d, divided we fall." There are blessings in sticking together.
Psalm 133.
It would be impossible to finish our work without a united effort. David
looking at unity noticed that it was good and pleasant for brethren to be in
harmony. He had seen others working for different causes. He spoke of
brethren dwelling together in unity, and he compared it to ointment upon the
head of Aaron the Priest. Aaron was saturated with this oil. We need to be
saturated with the presence of God. How many of us would like &#6684783;r the Lord
to give us a special anointing for the work we have to do? Several have
mentioned that they f&#6619237;l something in the air. We cannot do the work on
mechanics alone, but by the Spirit of Almighty God. The Psalmist s&#7340143;ke of
unity as dew on the mountains of Zion or Hermon. Dew is very penetrating.
We affect people when we have it, and we affect them when we don't have it.
We must be a pursuer of this unity. This spirit possessed Abram when there
arose strife between his herd and Lot's herd. Abram saw what was happening,
and he said to Lot, "For we be brethren." Abram kept it that way by a little
self-sacrificing. Don't compromise on doctrine or anything that is right. We
might have to give a &#7077993;ttle sometimes to preserve unity. When Nehemiah the
cupbearer in the King's Palace r&#6619235;eived word that the walls of Jerusalem were
to&#7471214; down and his people were reproached, he was very distressed; but it was
through his leadership that the walls were rebuilt. It was accomplished

&#7733356;INUTES OF THE &#3539000;TH ANNUAL ASSEMBLY 33
through a united ef&#6684783;rt. When Nehemiah heard that Jerusalem was
&#7471205;proached, he wept. I believe he had a genuine burden. You and I must have
a genuine conce&#7471214; for the work to be done. Is it possible to be involved in the
work of the Lord and never have a burden for it? Nehemiah approached God
in a very h&#7798894;ble way. His prayer was a confession for himself and Israel. He
asked &#6684783;r help &#6684786;om God and then the King. When permission was granted, he
viewed the walls and saw what had to be done. One of the most important
things he did was to inspire the p&#6619247;ple. He said, "Come, and let us build up
the walls of Jerusalem that we be no more a reproach." They replied, "Let us
rise up and build.'' Nehemiah 2: 17, 18. He inspir&#6619236; the &#6619359;ple, and they had a
burden for the work. Three things were successful here: prayer, unity or
cooperation and work. There is more than just numbers in unity, there must
be quality. Gid&#6619247;n's Army was trimmed from 32,000 to 300. They won the
victory. Genesis 11 : 3-6 .
We are not in this to make a n&#6357101;e. The Lord looked upon the p&#6619247;ple as one.
They had unity, but they had the wrong motives. We need the right kind of
unity and motives. Read I Timothy 1:3-6. There is a n&#6619237;d for us teaching and
preaching the same thing. There was in Paul's day, and there is today. Some
were d&#6619248;arting from the unity of the faith. When you swerve, you might have
a wreck. A. J. Tomlinson wrote in his diary of a time when his wife wrote him
while he was on the field to come home that a problem had arisen in the local
church in Cleveland. Some had got mixed up on a doctrine of tongues. Brother
Tom&#7077993;nson came and straighten&#6619236; it out. He could see the danger of letting it
go. Jangling means idle talk, noisy, quarreling or so&#7667822;d in a disorganized
babbling or chattering way. They had deviated &#6684786;om the truth, and they did a
lot of talking about nothing. We might have a few janglers among us.
Galatians 5: 1-4, 13, 14.
The Body of Christ is made up of many members, and we should have the
same care one to another. The key verse says, "By love serve one another."
Some were trying to put a yoke of bondage on the Church by implying it was
necessary to be circumcised. They had already had an Assembly conce&#7471214;ing
circumcision. Acts 15 tells some happenings in that Assembly. There was
trouble over circ&#7798894;cision. It was started by insiders-believing Pharisees.
Their goal was to return to the Law instead of grace. A&#6684788;er the decision was
reached the 28th verse says, "For it s&#6619237;med good to the Holy Ghost and to
us." The General Overseer gave his sentence, and the decr&#6619237;s that were
passed were delivered to the cities for to keep. "So were the churches
established in the faith and increased in number daily." It is dangerous to
teach and preach something that the Bible and the Assembly does not back.
Where are we going to ride if everybody has his yardstick-his rule? God
blessed the decision, and nothing more should have been said about
circumcision, but some trouble &#6357106;ose in Galatia. They were instructed if they
were going to keep one point of the old Law, that Christ will profit you

nothing. When God gives us light, let us walk &#6881390; that light. Some p&#6619247;ple pray
for a mile of light and won't walk in a block of &#7077993;ght. I be&#7077993;eve that God will
reveal to the Church in the General Assembly everything that we need. He
helped the early Church, and He is helping us. Trying to compel the people to
go back to Judaism was putting a yoke of bondage around the neck of the
Church. This was not talking about sin, but this was trying to &#7798898;ap a
bondage around the neck of the Church. Business in the General Assembly
affects the entire world. It's not a southern, northern, Indian, nor South
A&#6684786;ican rule, but it is a world-wide rule.
I am talking about motives. Some d&#6619235;ided to build a tower to heaven for a
name. They had unity, but they had the wrong motive. There was much
individualism at Corinth. They were hung up on communion, gifts, tongues
and other doctrine. Seemingly they only thought about them being edified. It
is not an individual effort, but it is a united effort. The Church of God is
marching on, and we must be united in our hearts and minds for the goal that
the Lord has set. In I Corinthians 3:4-7, it shows that our increase cometh
from God. Some in this incident were carried away with the messenger
instead of the message. We have a responsibility, but God gives the increase.
We may break the ground and water it, but let us not &#6684783;rget that God gives
the increase when man unites with God on God's conditions.

Moses, meaning the d&#6357106;ling upright one. Israel is depicted as the darling
upright one of the Lord. She was His one and only. Jeshurun waxed fat;
security, sensuality, pride and arrogance are common abuses of plenty and
&#6684777;nally through covetousness, this leads to idolatry. Jeshurun drifted into
apostasy, became self-willed, fond of change, and sick. Israel forgot the rock
that bare her and she kicked. Before Israel waxed fat, it was the material
things that got her into trouble. When Moses was on Sinai to pray and to
receive the Commandments, the people of Israel persuaded Aaron to set up
the calf god, which was suppos&#6619236; to bring them prosperity. They sat down to
eat and drink, and they rose up to play. The wedge of gold and the Babylonish
garment got Achan and his household into trouble. In Samuel's time, the
desire to be like other people caused Israel to kick and they rejected th&#6619247;cratic
government. Has prosperity and plenty got us into some of the same trouble?
Could desiring to be like other p&#6619247;ple cause us to rebel against th&#6619247;cratic
gove&#7209183;ent? Israel saw the miracle of the Red Sea and ate the manna from
heaven, but God was not pleased with many of them, and they were
overthro&#7798894; in the wilde&#7471214;ess. We should not lust after evil things as they
lusted, neither murmur. These things were written for our example. Did this
happen to our shadow because to some degree it happened to us? We should
take w&#13566171;ng, lest &#6881390; o&#7667826; prosperity we wax fat and kick against the thing
that has brought us safely thus f&#6357106;. We Church of God people have more
worldly goods than we have ever had in our lives. With plenty has come
&#6750322;umbling, insolence, and pride. Must we be entrapped by it? I can't believe
that God expects ministers who are receiving a goodly salary from the Church
to resort to secular employment. When God called you to preach, He didn't
need a building contractor; He didn't need a school teacher or another
vocation. He n&#6619237;ded a preacher. Paul says that we brought nothing into this
world, and we can carry nothing out. With food and raiment, let us be
content. They that will be rich fall into temptation and lust which &#6553714;o&#7798894; men

MINUTES OF THE &#3539000;TH ANNUAL ASSEMBLY 41
in perdition. The love of money is the root of all evil and which some coveted
after they have erred from the faith. Flee these things. It is understandable
that some do secular work when the Church cannot support them. Some feel
that their contributions they can make because of their jobs enable the church
to do better. This cripples a church. Have we waxed so fat that we refuse to
look at the truth of God's Word? We need money; but if it makes us insolent,
full of pride and envious, it would be better if we had to pray for something to
eat. We are going to overcome. Isaiah 44:2-4.
That looks like a world-wide revival to me. What a consolation that the
Church will be a refuge for all nations. Our gove&#7471214;ment will function properly
under the theocratic system. Some think that if they cause enough
commotion they can get some things changed. God is to direct the
gove&#7471214;ment of the Church by Holy Ghost anointed leaders. If this system is
obeyed, the Church will be a true refuge. Some desire to have more to do with
the decisions of the Assembly. Are we to decide every doctrinal point again in
each generation? Can't we build on the foundation by holy men before us, who
crawled on their knees to establish a doctrine? When we take the covenant, we
promise to abide by the doctrine of the Church. Hasn't the Assembly
answered the vital points of doctrine with the Word of God? If not, our whole
system is wrong. We need to settle on our prominent teachings and practices
and get in unity and promote them. What is it that we are supposed to carry
into all the world? There can be further revelation, but these things already
settled by the Assembly do not need to be considered again. It is g&#7274607;d to
willingly answer sincere questions, but questions for argument should be
avoided. "Foolish and unlea&#7471214;ed questions avoid, knowing that they do
gender strifes." (II Timothy 2:23) Some exert pressure on points of doctrine
expecting to bring about a change in Church doctrine. It would be much
better if we would seek to please the Lord. A. J. Tom&#7077993;nson said in his annual
address in the Eighth Assembly:
We must have a oneness, a real love for the truth. If we cannot see things
alike, let us humble ourselves before God and see who is right. Some rise up
and say I'm going to back the thing to the bitter end, but you had better lie
on your &#6684769;ce before God. The one who raises his bristles first is generally in
the wrong and liable to be a thousand miles behind the other fellow.
Brother Tomlinson also said, "Let us have His will if it does hurt."
Sometimes theocratic government will hurt. We are supposed to seek the will
of God. Some have tried to divide our camp into northern and southern
c&#6357101;ps; into liberal and conservative camps to promote sectionalism. Customs
don't amount to much unless they conflict with the Word of God, but we must
keep our camp ONE in doctrine and in purpose, and the only way is to adhere
to the doctrine and practices of the General Assembly. There should come a
time when we come to the knowledge of the truth, throw sectionalism out of

42 MINUTES OF THE 68TH ANNUAL ASSEMBLY
our ranks and b&#6619235;ome one in the doctrine and practices of the Church of God.
There should come a time when we are rooted and grounded in the truth. A. J.
Tomlinson said that we should not cavil over trivial questions. We spend too
much time with unimportant questions. Maybe we have waxed a little fat is
why we grumble and kick. We are about ready to trim off our middle, gird up
our loins and get to the job of ta&#7012457;ng the Church of God message to every
creature. I see a bright future for the Church of God. I think of the Church of
God as: strength, stability, prot&#6619235;tion, security, quietness, peace,
understanding, compassion, goodness, gentleness, kindness, meekness,
gratitude, joy, happiness, temperance, faith, long-suffering and love. I think
of judgment, but it is righteous unbiased judgment. The Church of God is to
be a place where good men of all nations can gather and find these things. It
wi&#7077996; be a place where authoritarianism is at a minimum; where the
government rules in love; the leaders are servants of all; dominion is not
exercised in the same manner as the world; there are no lords over God's
heritage; a place where men lead, not b&#6619235;ause of worldly ambition, nor for the
adulation of men, but because they love the ones they serve. The Church may
be a place where we follow our leaders, not because of fear, but because we
love one another and know that genuine security lies in the Church of God; a
place where we can dwell in safety and peace; we can worship God in Spirit
and in truth; we can follow on to know the Lord, because we trust God and
His Church. The Church can and will be a place of utmost protection for men
of all nations; where men can come in out of the storms of life, out of the strife
and ungodliness of this world and find rest in Jesus Christ. The true doctrine
that brings this rest will be protected in the Church of God. Trust God, in
Jesus Christ, in the Holy Ghost, in the Church of God, as she will lead us
safely through. She will not go down &#6357102;y more; the gates of hell did not
prevail. Isaiah 54:9.
The gates of hell attack the Church, but Jesus said they sh&#7078093; not prevail.
She has withstood all the forces of Satan, and she will continue to do so until
she has fulfilled all things. This is the vision I want to pass on to you, to our
youth, just as it was passed on to me. I don't have any material wealth to
leave my children; but if I can pass on the vision of the Church of God to
them, they will be rich. The method of the world is to criticize the past to build
a so-called better future. This is not God's way. Our fathers in the Chur&#2162721;h
made mistakes, but they have passed on to us the greatest heritage of all
times-the last days Church of God. The youth we now have will help finish
the work, and it will be done because you have been handed a vision. Run with
the message; find better ways to deliver it, but keep it pure. Our fathers
challenged the world's creeds. The Bible is our only rule of faith and practice,
government and discipline. That's what our fathers handed to us, and it is
what we are h&#6357102;ding on to the next generation. Keep it pure. We have all
stumbled at times. We are getting our marching orders from heaven. The
world must know that the gates of hell did not prevail. The world must know

MINUTE S OF THE &#3539000;TH ANNUAL ASSEMBLY 43
the Church of prophecy. Jeshurun waxed fat and kicked, but she recovered
and marched to the promised land. We've had our taste of prosperity; let's
show o&#7667826; gratitude by going to the ends of the e&#6357106;th with the Church of God
message. I believe that Jeshurun is going to overcome eve&#7471225;thing that comes
our way. To some degree, we have waxed fat; we have yielded to grumbling;
but so did Israel. They overcame, and so it is going to be with the Church of
God. We've had our problems, troubles and discouragements along the way,
but the Church of God is getting ready to go into all the world with the
message. Jeshu&#7471221;n waxed fat and kicked, but she got straightened out on
scheduled time. We're going to get straightened out, and it is going to get
brighter. People will begin to see that we have a place of rest, and they will
move in to the Church of God as the Bible said they would. I want to stick
true to the Church and Her teachings. I don't want to change Her doctrine.
Some methods may need to be worked on. There may need to be some
enlargements in our work in order to take care of the multitudes that are
coming. The doctrine and the advice to the Church of God will k&#6619237;p you safely
in the boat. Jeshurun waxed fat, she kicked like an untamed heifer, and she
grumbled; but they marched into Cannan's land as one man. I don't know
how it will all come about, but the Church of God will become of one mind and
one accord, and the Holy Ghost is going to move in; we will have unity on the
Word of God. I desire to submit myself to the Church of God so that I can
&#6684777;nd this rest, peace, happiness and joy that I know is for us when we get to
the unity of the faith and the knowledge of the Son of God. When we reach the
measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ, I want to be with the Church of
God and move as God moves. Everything is going to be all right.

44 MINUTES OF THE &#3539000;TH ANNUAL ASSEMBLY
INTRODUCTION
Threescore and ten years ago this past June 13, our Church fathers of these
last days brought &#6684783;rth and set into motion again the divine revelation of the
Church of God of the Bible, a&#6684780;ame with the light of freedom &#6684786;om all man
made creeds and gove&#7471214;ment, and dedicated to the proposition that they
wotE'take the whole Bible as the Word of God. Since that time we have been
engaged in the great work of restoration, proving, in the light of proph&#6619235;y,
that God's holy nation is destined to endure and reach perfection.
We are met in another great General Assembly, dedicated to the same
principles held dear by our fathers-yea, by the holy apostles. As the Church
of God of the Bible, and of proph&#6619235;y, we have held through the years that it is
altogether fitting and proper that we shotE'have these annual Assemblies. In
the broadest sense, we cannot dedicate-we cannot consecrate these
Assemblies, but rather dedicate ourselves to the holy cause they espouse. The
brave and loyal men and women who have fought the good fight of faith, both
in the early Church and since 1903 in these last days, have already laid the
foundation and made the fundamental dedication and consecration.
The world may have paid little attention to what has been done by the
Church of God in her past sixty-seven Assemblies, but the time is at hand
when all men will be made to see what is the fellowship of the mystery, and
s&#7274607;n they shall know what we have been doing here year after year. It is for
tis, the living membership of our day, to dedicate ourselves to the unfinished
work which the fathers began, and which has thus far been so nobly
advanced. It is for us to take new faith and courage from these honored
doctrines and principles, uncovered and brought again to light by those who
wept, prayed, and sttI'on their knees, and to render increased devotion to
the cause for which so m&#6357102;y have given their all.
It is ours to resolve, at this late hour, that the sacrifices and stferings, in
life and service, of those gone before us shall in no wise have been in vain. It is
ours further to resolve that God's holy nation shall burst &#6684783;rth from this time
with a new and mightier anointing of the Holy Ghost sent down from heaven,
and that this gove&#7471214;ment, the theocracy of God, shotE'not fail until every jot
and tittle written of it has been fulfilled in all the earth. Hallelujah!
Seventy years with the Church of God! Probably there are none here who
were eyewitnesses of the "Arise, shine" on June 13, 1903, nor of the proceed
ings of the First Assembly on January 26 and 27, 1906. We have a heritage
given us by those who were mightily moved of God, and who were used of
Him b&#6619235;ause they yielded themselves to His leading. We can only imagine
that first thrill of revelation which they must have felt as that brilliant ray of
light broke out &#6684786;om beh&#6881390;d the clot'of the Dark Ages, proclaiming-THE
CHURCH OF GOD OF THE BIBLE!
Much light has been shed abroad since that notable day at the tt'of the

MINUTES OF THE 68TH ANNUAL ASSEMBLY 45
century. We read about it and rejoice in much the same manner in which we
receive inspiration from the earlier record in the Holy Scriptures.
We c&#6357102; only wonder just how it was in the days when persecutions were the
order of the day. We may find it hard to understand how the Church made
such progress during those first few years, with slow transportation and little
&#6684777;nance. Some may be perplexed about the disruption which threatened to
destroy the beautiful th&#6619247;cracy after twenty years of amazing growth in spite
of all hindrances. There is a record &#6684783;r all who will lend themselves to the
principles of truth, not by-passing the main issues which were clouded by
distracting and groundless accusations.
As we recall from year to year the "Big Business Program" of 1928, we
wonder if the &#6684783;rward-looking vision of that mighty move is yet understood
for what it was, and is, intended: a mighty move to reach every person in
every county, state, and nation with the last-days message. We wonder how
many have given serious thought to the importance of the God-given banner
of truth, which was so powerfully dedicated by the Holy Ghost in the
Assembly of 1933.
It is with extreme sadness that we mention that some have pierced
themselves through with many sorrows by denying the faith and breaking the
sacred covenant. We note this only as a warning to all of us who remain, lest
we should be overcome in like manner.
For a number of years, the Church has enjoyed comparative prosperity in
means with which to carry on our work. We are not content with our net gain
in souls, but we have sown much good seed, and have extended the light of
truth to thousands who may yet come our way as the denominational
confusion compels the true sheep to fo&#7077996;ow the Spirit of truth to its pillar and
&#6750322;ound.
We have enjoyed a number of breakthroughs into nations which have been
very difficult to penetrate. Though we have preached for years about God's
set time to favor Zion, never before has it been so evident that the time is now
upon us. We are trying desperately to be ready to take advantage of that
favor in its fulness. We can hardly hope to understand all in which we will be
involved when the favor of the Lord of hosts is beamed our way at that set
time, but we are con&#6684777;dent that He will help us to meet every challenge and to
give answers that satisfy to every man who asks us a reason &#6684783;r this great
hope we cherish.
Here we are in this great world-wide gathering, submitting ourselves to the
will of God for whatever He has to deliver to our charge at this time, and until
we can say, with the great Head of the Church, "IT IS FINISHED!"

46 MINUTES OF THE &#3539000;TH ANNUAL ASSEMBLY
PURITY
The Psalmist David said, "The words of the Lord are pure words: as silver
tried in the furnace, purified seven times. Thou shalt keep them, 0 Lord, thou
shalt preserve them from this generation for ever." (Psahn 12:6, 7)
Since we do not live by bread alone, but by every Word of God, His pure
words will produce pure lives for all who live by them. Considering the kind of
life the Lord expects of His people, it seems profitable to examine the
meaning of purity in the &#7077993;ght of the Scriptures.
Pure means: free from anything that adt.I EI'taints, or impairs;
unmixed; free from def&#6619235;ts; perfect; fat..I''free from sin or guilt;
blameless.
Jesus said, "Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God." (Matt.
5:8)
Pat.'wrote to Timothy, " ... Neither be partaker of other men's sins: keep
thyself pure." (I Timothy 5:22) It seems that the responsibility for purity of
&#7077993;fe is upon the individual. The pure Word of God will keep us only if we obey
and live by that Word.
There are evidences of some changes of opinion today concerning right and
wrong. Standards seem not to be interpreted the same as they once were. The
Bible reads just like it always has, and the teachings of the Church have not
been altered, but the attittI'toward some things indicates that some are not
thinking in the same vein in which Church of God people once thought.
We are against sin, but some do not consider some things to be sin that
once there was no qtIwx'about. Many things are being branded as tradition
which we used to feel were evidences of holiness and separation from the
world's way of &#7077993;ving. We may have practiced a few traditions or customs
unnecessarily, but I am afraid we stand in danger of going to extremes in the
other direction. This thought may need pursuing even further, but I am
mainly concerned with the subj&#6619235;t of Christian purity or cleanness at this
time.
We cannot afford to close our eyes and minds to the fact that we are living
in a time of sh&#6357101;eful impurity. It is possible that these times can be equalled
only by those of the days of Noah, or of the overthrow of Sodom and
, Gomorrah. At &#6357102;y rate, every nation in history has fallen when its people
gave themselves over to low morals and shame.
The Church of God is a holy nation. We are told in Philippians 2:15, 16:
"That ye may be blameless and harmless, the sons of God, without rebuke, in
the midst of a crooked and perverse nation, among whom ye shine as lights in
the world; holding forth the word of life . . . " This perverse world is steeped in
the darkness of sin. It does not like the light of truth because it exposes its

MINUTES OF THE 68TH ANNUAL ASSEMBLY 47
evil deeds. We are told to shine as lights, and to give the people the Word of
life. We cannot do this if we fellowship their works of darkness.
Efforts have been made a number of times in our Assemblies, and through
the White Wing Messenger the past few years, to inspire our people,
especially the younger generation, to resist the temptation of conformity with
the world, and to hold to the pure standards laid down in the Scriptures and
practiced by the Church in all past generations. I quote from the Address in
the 64th Annual Assembly ( 1969 ), under the subject, "Sin and Shame":
"The world is going deeper and deeper into sin, and with the sin is an
increase of sh&#6357101;efulness. Sin is now so open and unrestrained that its
captives seem to have no sense of shame. Many evil things are not counted sin
as they once were. This attitude has become so prevalent that few have
escaped its influence in some form or another. Many so-called Christians are
condoning sinful practices, though they deny that they are sinful ...
"The Church of God has been reasonably successful in maintaining its high
standard of faith and doctrine. From time to time, some of the membership
have preferred a looser rein and have taken the liberty to indulge their
preference, even in the face of the Assembly's advice against it. Others,
momentarily led astray, became ashamed of their ways and have prayed
through, while the more contentious ones have lost the victory and left the
Church of God &#6684783;r an easier way ...
" ... Wherever there is sin, worldliness, and disrespect for the teachings of
the Church and the kindly advice of the Assembly, there is cause for shame.
But it is possible to ignore the preaching of our faithful ministers, and to
persist in our o&#7798894; way until the cunning spirit of this evil day will deafen us
to the wa&#7471214;ings.''
Now, four years later, I am wondering if some of our ministers have not just
about quit warning our p&#6619247;ple against worldly things because they have come
to like them a little too well themselves.
From the Address to the 66th Annual Assembly ( 1971 ), under the subject,
"A Challenge to the Younger Generation," here are some words to our young
people:
"I challenge you to be different &#6684786;om the world by holding to the Church's
standards and advice. Also, as Church of God young people, I challenge you
to be different from others in the religious world ...
"I challenge our stedfast young people to be leaders who are not ashamed
to be different from the world. Clothes and hair do not make one a Christian,
but a deeply spiritual experience almost always prompts the Christian to
separate himself from the outward things which do not become holiness ...

50 MINUTES OF THE &#3539000;TH ANNUAL ASSEMBLY
show the proper respect for those responsible for their training. Duty has
called, &#6357102;d all but a very few are ready to submit, for they have a cause to
fight for, and they realize &#6684786;om the start that nothing but their best will bring
them out victorious.
The Bible teaches us that "There is a spirit in man: and the inspiration of
the Almighty giveth them understanding." (Job 32:8) In fact, the real man is
that spirit which is housed in a &#6684780;eshly body. Even the unregenerated man
who becomes a soldier must exercise a great amount of control over his own
sp&#6881394;it. We see the outward man marching to orders, but this could not be
without the subj&#6619235;tion of the inner man. The inward obedience shows up in
each soldier's outward performance.
The a&#7471213;y of the Lord is peculiar in that it does not always appear to be an
army, just as Jesus did not appear to the world to be a king. He did not have
the outw&#6357106;d app&#6619233;rance of a king. He wore no royal robes; He had no earthly
throne; He waged no militant warfare. His soldiers were not in armor of
leather and st&#6619237;l. They were few in number and did not march in ranks
through Judea and Galil&#6619237;. Nevertheless, Jesus was a King, the greatest of all
Captains; and His disciples were soldiers-in-training. Their obedience and
subjection were inward, not imposed by an iron hand. They had &#6684777;rst been
conquered by love, and their submission was a submission of love. The spirit
of redeem&#6619236; m&#6357102; is aff&#6619235;ted by the inspiration of God, making obedience
joyful and willing.
We usually think of Israel's departure &#6684786;om Egypt as a miraculous
deliverance, but, while there were many miracles involved, there was
something else we may be prone to overlook. It is recorded in Exodus 13:18
that "the children of Israel went up ha&#7471214;essed out of the land of E&#6750329;pt." The
word h&#7471311;essed indicates an orderly, well-arranged manner. It further
indicates that they were under command. They may not have b&#6619237;n in battle
array, since they were not to be engaged in a military contest at that time.
Nevertheless, they were an army in the sight of the Lord, and they were in the
spirit of obedience and submission to their commander.
If it s&#6619237;ms am&#6357114;ing that six hundred thousand slaves could be organized so
&#7340133;rfectly and rapidly, consider that they were accustomed to rigid discipline.
They had learned submission to authority, even if it were by the iron hand of
tyranny. Though they had been servants of the Egyptians, they had bene&#6684777;ted
&#6684786;om the experience; for, in spite of their servitude, God had prepared them
&#6684783;r the day when He would bring them out with a mighty hand.
We &#6357106;e not to suppose a regimented, formal, military line-up for the Church
of God army, but rather an alert, obedient people, promptly and willingly
submissive to those who have the rule over them. To the world, we may not
seem like an army, but we will &#6357101;aze them by our unity of faith and practice,
gove&#7209183;ent and discipline. It may seem a mystery to them how we muster

MINUTES OF THE 68TH ANNUAL ASSEMBLY 51
our forces, springing up &#6684786;om an insigni&#6684777;cant hand&#6684789;l of corn in the top of the
mountains to a mighty host subjugating the world to Christ; but the thing
they do not know is that it is "Not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit,
saith the Lord of hosts." (Z&#6619235;hariah 4:6)
Israel might have seemed like an army in retreat, but God's strategy of war
at that point was outwitting the enemy. Through Israel's flight, Pharaoh's
army was led into utter destruction. If the children of Israel had stopped to
argue with Moses, insisting upon a reason &#6684783;r all that s&#6619237;med impossible, the
time lost would only have given Pharaoh the advantage. I wonder if we can
take counsel from these things, since they were written for our l&#14090447;ing.
Theocratic gove&#7471214;ment seems a little hard for some of o&#7667826; p&#6619247;ple to
understand. I wonder if the sp&#6881394;it that is in them is really in submission to the
inspiration of the Almighty that gives understanding. Is it not the spirit of
the world to rebel and de&#6684793; orders? We are not too amazed when the world
does these things; yet it trains its armies and enjoys a measure of ob&#6619236;ience
to orders that &#6357100;most puts us to shame.
Under theocracy, we do not use force. A soldier sometimes refuses to obey
while at the same time he enjoys the blessings of grace for a season. Actually,
he is kicking out of the ha&#7471214;ess. He feels that he wants unrestrained &#6684786;&#6619237;dom
in the Church. He wants to enjoy the luscious, green pastures, but he does not
want to be harnessed by Church gove&#7209183;ent. That kind of freedom is really
&#6684786;eedom to destroy oneself.
We cannot afford to operate this way in the Church of God. I believe most
of us wi&#7077996; agree that the Church offers an abundance of the kind of &#13304023;dom
Jesus spoke about-freedom through the truth to forsake sin and to obey
righteousness. I believe we will have to agree that the Church has beeh
patient and longsuffering with those who have resisted the th&#6619247;cratic system
to some degree. The Church of God is government; and before we get the
work done, every member is going to have to get in the harness and m&#6357106;ch
abreast with the rest of the ranks.
Great things lie ahead of us yet to be done. Israel had forty years after that
first victorious march to prepare herself &#6684783;r the Promised Land. It would s&#6619237;m
that the Church in these last days has had plenty of time to become harnessed
with the sweet spirit of love, submission, and obedience, so that we should be
ready &#6684783;r the last great surge of evangelism and the preaching of the Church
message. We must remember that when Israel marched out of E
&#6750329;pt, the
nations round about were filled with fear because of God's great power among
His people. Even at the end of the forty years, the inhabitants of Jericho had
not forgotten what they had h&#6619233;rd about this great deliverance, and their
hearts melted when they found this mighty host just across the river &#6684786;om
them.

52 MINUTES OF THE &#3539000;TH ANNUAL ASSEMBLY
We want this world to fear our God. His fear will only fall on them as they
behold His glorious army, ha&#7471214;essed with loyalty to the gove&#7471214;ment of God.
It looks like we will have to gird up our loins a little tighter, and surrender our
o&#7798894; thinking to that of the Scriptures. As Pat.'said, we will have to "Do all
things without murmurings and disputings" (Philippians 2:14), and &#6684783;llow
the ex&#6357101;ple of our Great Commander who "Ht .II.'and bec&#6357101;e
obedient unto death, even the death of the cross." (Philippians 2:8)
The Church will give us o&#7667826; marching orders through the General
Assembly; in fact, we may already have about all the orders we n&#6619237;d if we can
bring ourselves to obey them. This is no time to feel that we must set aside all
that has been done in the past. The Lord began working with His Church in
1903, and from the first Assembly in 1906, restoring it to the New Testament
order. The decisions that have been reached through the years were reached
by the working of the Holy Ghost in the midst. We cannot afford to do Him
despite by discrediting the &#6750325;idance He has been giving us all along. It s&#6619237;ms
our job is to fall in line, without murmurings and disputings, and bring our
bodies under submission, lest some become castaways after preaching to
others.
Joshua's army is an example of perfect obedience in its march through the
Jordan, with all eyes on the ark of the covenant, &#6684783;llowing Joshua's marching
orders. The priests took up the ark and marched into the &#6684780;ooded river without
a single voice of protest, and the people followed with perfect confidence. This
undoubt&#6619236;ly enco&#7667826;ag&#6619236; them for the march around Jericho t&#6881498;teen times in
seven days, without apparent results until the last minute. They never lost
their spirit of obedience. When the priests blew the trtI.'the p&#6619247;ple
shouted, as they were commanded, and the walls of opposition fell.
Gideon's little army of 300 watchful, obedient soldiers is another testimony
to the favor of God upon a h&#7471311;essed army. They were put to the test before
Gideon led them against the foe. The breaking of the pitchers and the blowing
of the trt(ets were probably routine matters, since the little army had
&#7078099;eady proven itself dependable. The record is not blu&#7471218;ed by even one
mention of mu&#7471213;uring and disputing. They were well h&#7471311;essed.
Pat.t'"whole armour of God," described in Ephesians the 6th chapter,
shot.'qualify this Church of God army &#6684783;r our last great con&#6684780;ict. We are a
visible army, warring against an invisible foe. Our weapons are not visible,
but the rest..'will testi&#6684793; to their effectiveness. We do have to give ourselves
over to the theocratic processes, so it seems good to close this section with a
few words by the former General Overseer:
"The Church of God is theocratic in principle. It is God's gove&#7471214;ment to
govern His p&#6619247;ple. It is not His plan to tu&#7471214; His p&#6619247;ple loose with no
protection or government over them. They must be taught sub&#7143529;ssion. They

MINUTES OF THE 68TH ANNUAL ASSEMBLY 53
must be trained to bow to authority. They must learn obedience here in order
that they may rule d&#7667826;ing the Millenium. If they will not submit to
gove&#7471214;ment here, they will be of no value under the beautiful reign of Christ
over there. He is preparing us to be kings and priests. He will accept us as
efficient rulers in proportion to o&#7667826; submission to His gove&#7209183;ent and our
&#6684777;delity to Him who is our great Head and Lawgiver."
We have heard these things many times. The spirit of the times may oppose
us and make some want to walk in the "way that seemeth right unto man,"
but we must never forget the Scriptural injunction from the lips of Christ, the
Head:
"For whosoever exalteth himself sha&#7077996; be abased; and he that humbleth
himself shall be exalted." (Luke 14:11)
AN EXCITED, ENTHUSIASTIC SPIRIT
We get excited about the things that interest us most. Sometimes we are
not as interested in certain things as we should be because we do not know as
much about them as we do other things. As we understand some things
better, we become more excited about them. Excitement then becomes
enthusiastic or fervent. I believe we will agree that the things of God are more
worthy of excitement and enthusiasm than anything else in life. People have
to become interested in the Lord and His program before we can expect them
to feel this way about it. It is our job to interest them.
The best way to get others excited about something is to show some
excitement about it ourselves. Our enthusiasm will attract attention and
make others want to know why we feel as we do about serving the Lord. Our
excitement must be genuine, or others will feel disappointed when we are
unable to show them good reason why they should share in our beliefs.
We are advised in Romans 12: 11 and 12: "Not slothful in business; fervent
in spirit; serving the Lord; rejoicing in hope; patient in tribulation;
continuing instant in prayer."
To be fervent in spirit means to be aflame or aglow with interest and zeal
for the Christian life and the work of the Church. To be excited means to be
stirred or intensely inspired to put the love and salvation of God into action. I
be&#7077993;eve this is what it is going to take to draw people's attention to the Lord
and His plan to bring all the children of God into the one fold.
I notice the young people are singing a song these days which expresses the
way we should feel about the Lord and His work. Here are some of the words:
"Get all excited, go tell everybody
What the Lord has done for you ...
Jesus Christ is still the King of kings."

54 MINUTES OF THE &#3539000;TH ANNUAL ASSEMBLY
"We talk about p&#6619247;ple, we talk about things
That really &#6357106;en't important at all;
We talk about weather, we talk about problems
We have here at home &#6357102;d abroad;
But I'm all excited about a solution,
And that's why I'm gonna shout and sing,
Jesus Christ is sti&#7077996; the King of kings."
When people get together, they talk. People are disturbed about world
conditions, and they talk much about them. As the song says, what is n&#6619237;ded
is a solution. Many feel that the solution would be to bring about conditions
so that this old world can continue on with less problems. We &#7012462;ow that the
present world system is destin&#6619236; to come to an end, and the only real solution
is the peace of God in our hearts, and faith in God's pro&#7143529;se eventually to set
up His rule of righteousness. This is part of the story we must "go tell
everybody.''
Paul &#7798898;ote the Galatians that it is good to be zealously affected always in a
good thing. (Galatians 4:18) The good thing is that which stands for the
truth. The Galatians, at the time Paul. wrote his letter to them, had been
zealously affected by some who were tryl&#6881440;g to get them to become entangled
again &#7798889;th the bondage of the law of Moses. He was commending their zeal
w&#6815849;le w&#7471311;ing them to be sure their cause was right. The world also has a zeal.
People are excited about many things. We are excited about finishing up the
work &#6357102;d being ready for the ret&#7471331; of our Lord. Hallelujah!
Our young p&#6619247;ple are strong and vigorous. They are in the prime of li&#6684773;. It
is so wonderful that they are privileged to expend their strength in a good
thing; to spend their best years in that which will end&#7667826;e forever. We must
help them to see tbe importance of the work the Church has assigned
especially to them-that of publishing the message by the printed page, as
well as by other means of communication.
The business world has long recognized the value of the printed page. Other
religious movements, some with false doctrine, have used this as one of their
principal means of spreading their beliefs. Communism has seen possibilities
in literature that have b&#6619237;n hard to get across to the Christian world in the
same measure. We need to get all excited about our Free Literature work and
the expansion of the publishing arm of the Church. Young people, somehow
the Lord saw fit, through the General Assembly in 1928, to designate this
work for the Victory Leaders Band. Surely the time is at hand when this part
of the work will take its place of importance among our other outreach efforts.
The same message must be told and published in all languages, and it is going
to take some genuine excitement and enthusiasm in spirit to get this done in
the short time left to us.

MINUTES OF THE &#3539000;TH ANNUAL ASSEMBLY 55
No means or method must be spared in our effort to win souls and get them
added to the Body of Christ. There may be some risks involved. All may not
come easy, but the faithful wa&#7471323;ors of past ages have given their all, and we
cannot afford to be outdone in this, the most glorious age of all Church
history.
Call to mind the great victory that was won by Jonathan, son of King Saul,
and his armourbearer. Israel was in one of her con&#6684780;icts with the Philistines
and things had come to a standstill, with the Philistines holding Saul's army
at bay. The record states:
"And Jonathan said to the young man that bare his a&#7471213;our, Come, and let
us go over unto the garrison of these uncircumcised; it may be that the Lord
will work for us: &#6684783;r there is no restraint to the Lord to save by many or by
few.
"And his armourbearer said &#7667822;to him, Do all that is in thine heart: turn
thee; behold, I am with thee according to thy heart." (I S&#6357101;uel 14:6, 7)
With his faith in God, Jonathan led the way, and these two young men
made the attack; and there came such a trembling in the Philistine camp that
they b&#6619235;ame confused and fled, beating one another down as they went. When
Saul and his army saw what was happening, they entered into the battle, and
the Bible says, "So the Lord saved Israel that day ... " And it all came about
because one brave young man and his armourbearer got stirred and excited
over the thought that there is no restraint to the Lord to save by many or by
few.
Recall also the incident in the wilderness when the tabe&#7471214;acle, typifying the
Church of God, was to be built. The Lord had given Moses the pl&#6357102; and all the
necessary instructions, but the people were to furnish the materials and do
the work. When Moses told them what was n&#6619237;ded, notice what the p&#6619247;ple
&#6553705;d:
"And they came, every one whose heart stirred him up, and every one
whom his spirit made willing, and they brought the Lord's o&#6684774;ering to the
work of the tabe&#7471214;acle of the congregation, and for all his service, and for the
holy garments.
"And they came, both men and women, as many as were willing hearted
... " (Exodus 35:21, 22)
The story goes on to show that the Lord had men &#7078099;eady qualified &#6684783;r
every manner of work, and that Moses called "Every wise hearted man, in
whose heart the Lord had put wisdom, even every one whose heart stirred him
up to come unto the work to do it." (Exodus 36:2) The offering became so
great that the people had to be restrained from b&#7471209;nging any more.

56 MINUTES OF THE 68TH ANNUAL ASSEMBLY
Wouldn't you say that the people had an excited, enthusiastic spirit for
that work? And can the Church of God, of which they are only a shadow,
afford to be less excited and enthusiastic than they were? They were only
getting the tabe&#7471214;acle ready for a forty-year jou&#7471214;ey through the wilde&#7471214;ess
and into the land of promise. We are getting the Church ready for the return
of the Lord and the rapture of the saints!
I say it is time to get excited, and to tell this world that the Church of the
Living God is in the midst to do the work laid out for it by the King of kings.
Hallelujah!
THE WORK OF THIS GENERATION
I believe most of us are aware of the many fulfillments of the Scriptures
which point to the soon retu&#7471214; of our Lord. It seems that most of the
Christian world feels that the time for the rapture of the saints is close at
hand. Even the political world is predicting astounding changes within the
next few years as a direct result of the declining morals and evils of our
present society.
It could become confusing if we tried to believe all that is said and written,
since there is not much agreement on certain issues outside the Church. The
very fact that the world's population in general senses the perils of our times
gives the Church all the more reason to be diligent about her business and to
&#6422629;come more r&#7274607;ted and grounded in the truth. We should be deeply stirred
about the work we-the Church-are to do in this generation.
In Matthew 24:3, Jesus outlines world conditions from the time He was
speaking right on down to our own day, and beyond. His discourse was in
answer to a thr&#6619237;&#6684783;ld question asked by the disciples. The question came after
Jesus had foretold the destruction of the temple.
"And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him
privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the
sign of thy coming, and of the end of the wor Id?''
Notice the three questions: When shall these things be?-referring to the
destruction of the temple and the city of Jerusalem. What shall be the sign of
thy coming?-meaning Christ's retu&#7471214; &#6684783;r the saints. What shall be the sign
of the end of the world?-referring to the period of the great tribulation.
We understand that the destruction of Jerusalem in 70 A.D. marked the
fulfillment of the &#6684777;rst prediction, and this came about in judgment on the
Jews for rejecting their Messiah. Matthew apparently did not record Jesus'
answer to this question.
The third question deals with events which will take place after the Church
has finished her work and has been raptured, along with all the dead in Christ,

MINUTES OF THE 68TH ANNUAL ASSEMBLY 57
who will have been resurrected. In this address, I will not deal with that
period.
The second question-What shall be the sign of Christ's coming?
concerns us here today, and I feel that it needs some very serious
consideration.
"And Jesus answered and s&#6357097;d unto them, Take heed that no man deceive
you.
"For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive
many.
"And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars; see that ye be not
troubled: for these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.
"For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and
there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes in divers places.
"All of these are the beginning of sorrows.
"Then shall they deliver you up to be af&#6684780;icted, and shall kill you: and ye
shall be hated of all nations for my name's sake.
"And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall
hate one another.
"And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many.
"And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold.
"But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.
"And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a
witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come." (Matthew 24:4-14)
It is true that some of these things have happened &#6684786;om time to time all
through the different generations since Christ's time here on earth. I believe
we will agree that they are on the increase, with greater intensity, in this
present generation. False christs, false prophets, and false religions are
around everywhere. As Jesus said, many are being deceived; some who have
had opportunity to know the truth have been led astray.
Wars and natural disasters are terrible and grievous, and they seem to be
going on all the time around the world; but as terrible as they are,
comparatively speaking they are not the things that should trouble us most
they are only the beginning of sorrows. It seems to be the abounding iniquity
that does the most deadly work. It springs from hatred and betrayal, not only
against the people of God, but in all of society.
I think it would be profitable here to call attention to the real meaning of
the word "iniquity." Usually we use it as just another word for sin and

58 MINUTES OF THE &#3539000;TH ANNUAL ASSEMBLY
&#7798898;ongdoing. It is that all right, but it is more. Iniquity means lawlessness
and wickedness, or gross evil. Whil&#6619182; there has always b&#6619237;n a measure of
iniquity, isn't it significiant that Jesus mentioned it almost as a climax to His
answer to the question under consideration?
He said that iniquity shall abound, indicating that there would be a
prevalence of lawlessness, and that it would be widespread. The awful result
is that it will cause the love of many people-undoubtedly God's people-to
wax cold. When people begin to want their way to the extent that they will
break the law of God and man to get it, love for God and man has surely
grown cold. Only they that end&#7667826;e, or hold fast to the right, will be saved.
Now, the most signi&#6684777;cant sign of all is overl&#7274607;ked by many p&#6619247;ple. Wars,
disasters, and iniquity are signs of the times all right, but they cannot bring
this age to an end without the last-days preaching of the gospel as a witness
unto all nations. In other words, the Church must &#6684777;nish her work and make
herself ready; and then shall the end come. Hallelujah!
Notice somet&#6815849;ng else in this same chapter of Matthew:
"Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When his branch is yet tender, and
putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is nigh:
"So likewise ye, when ye shall see all these things, know that it is near, even
at the doors.
"Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till all these things
be ful&#6684777;lled." (Matthew 24:32-34)
The fig tree is generally associated &#7798889;th Israel, or the Jews. Just twenty
&#6684777;ve years ago, in 1948, Israel became a nation again for the first time since
the days of Christ. I don't believe any Bible schol&#6357106; will overlook the fact that
this has clear prophetic meaning. As the Gentile age draws near to its close,
Israel must be ready to accept Him whom she rejected when He returns &#6684786;om
the marriage supper with His Church. Doesn't it seem that this time is near,
even at the doors?
Think of the vast number of this present generation who are living
witnesses to Israel's restoration to her homeland twenty-five years ago. If
that is what Jesus meant when He gave the fig tree parable, and then stated
that this generation shall not pass till all these things be fulfilled, I believe we
can begin to see the work left for this generation to do.
The world and the elements will fulfill their part without much conce&#7471214; on
our part. The Church must do its own work-and I believe it is time to say
that we must do it NOW. With time passing so swiftly, it doesn't take long
for a generation to pass.
What the world is doing should stir us to mighty action. As we s&#6619237; the
chariots the Prophet Nahum wrote about raging in the streets with their

MINUTES OF THE 68TH ANNUAL ASSEMBLY 59
&#6684780;aming headlights, running like the &#7077993;ghtning and jostling against one
another in the awful highway slaughter, let us be reminded that this is the
day of God's p&#7471205;paration. When we s&#6619237; the ai
&#7471216;lanes &#6684780;ying as the doves to
their windows, don't forget that they are a p&#6357106;t of the last-days prophecy
right along with the Church of God. When we see the &#6357100;most unbelievable
space probes going on, with a&#7077996; the curious minds wanting to know what lies
out there in God's great universe, let us rejoice in the hope that we shall soon
take a trip beyond the blue, propelled by the omnipotence of Almighty God!
Hallelujah!
But let us never forget that this generation has an almost overwhelming
amount of work yet to do in preaching this gospel unto &#6357100;l nations, and
witnessing to every creature. Oh, we must get busy and stay busy! There is
no time to idle away on non-essentials! This is no time to let our love wax cold,
either for one another or for a lost world! This is no time to cavil over the
Assembly's recommendations and advice; rather, it is time to f&#6357100;l in line in
self-denial and sacrifice and do the things that have been outlined in the Bible,
searched out by the Assembly, and approved by the Holy Ghost. It is time to
be examples in righteousness and true holiness so the other sheep will not
have to wonder about joining us!
This generation has no time to tear down the Church's accomplishments of
the past seventy years, and to rebuild according to its o&#7798894; whims. We only
have time to fall in line and go on up with the building. The world is not going
to get any better. There may be a period of &#6684769;lse peace and an opening of some
doors and gates that are now closed against the Church, but this will not
make the work any lighter. When the gates open, we must be standing right
there as a mighty army ready to go through. We must condition ourselves
now-gird up our loins and harden our muscles for the last great conquest!
This will call for some sacrificing of enjoyments, and some sobering of mind
and thought, as we ponder the seriousness of our commission. It may be
necessary to accept some assi
&#6750318;ments to tasks and places we would not
ordinarily choose. The good soldier of Jesus Christ cannot always remain
entangled with the affairs of this life if he is interested in pleasing the Lord
and those over him in the Church. Some hard things have to be endured, and
the urgency of the work will prove our endurance.
We must not fail! The work must be done, and the Lord will see to it that
there is a faithf&#7667820; man or woman to fill the place of any who drop out in the
&#6684769;ce of abounding iniquity and the deceitfulness of false teachers! If it is as it
seems, and this generation is the one to see the &#6684789;lfillment of all the end-time
prophecies, will you accept the challenge?
THE AUTHORIZED TEACHER'S CERTIFICATE
In the 63rd Annual Assembly, 1968, one section of the General Overseer's
Address was on "The Teaching Ministry." It was stated that teachers were

60 MINUTES OF THE 68TH ANNUAL ASSEMBLY
among those set in the Church to minister, according to Ephesians 4:11, 12:
"And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists;
and some, pastors and teachers;
"For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the
edifying of the Body of Christ."
It was explained that teaching wi&#7077996; never take the place of anointed
preaching, but that it has its place, as is shown in Jesus' words:
"Go ye therefore, and teach all nations ... Teaching them to observe all
things whatsoever I have commanded you.'' ( Matthew 28: 19, 20 )
The Questions and Subjects Committee was asked to give consideration
to the matter of recognizing God-called teachers by issuing a special
certificate when the applicants met the requirements of those in proper
authority. At that time, the committee felt that more time was needed for
further study and consideration.
Last year, in the 67th Assembly, one section of the Questions and Subjects
Committee report was titled "The Teaching Ministry," and it reads:
"We recommend that those who feel the call to teach talk with their pastor
concerning their call. After counselling with the person, the pastor, at his
discretion, may ask the local church to set forth the individual in a conference
as an authorized teacher. The applicant will then fill out a questionnaire and
give it to the pastor, who will endorse it and send it to the State or National
Overseer. After his approval, the State or National Overseer will issue the
person a permanent Teacher's Certificate authorizing him to teach the Word
of God and perpetuate the gospel of Jesus Christ through the ministry of
teaching. The certificate will be signed by the General Overseer, the State or
National Overseer, and the pastor. The questionnaires and certificates will be
prepared by General Headquarters.
"Only faithful members of the Church who are &#6684777;lled with the Holy Ghost
should be given a certificate. If a member does not have a Teacher's
Certificate this in no way disqualifies him to teach. Since this is a permanent
certificate, the local church of which the teacher is a member, with the
approval of the State or National Overseer, has the authority to recall it in a
conference any time it becomes necessary.
"We wish to encourage all who feel the call to teach to take the Called To
Teach course, the General Bible Study course, the Body of Christ course, and
any other good material that would better qualify them for this work."
Following the Assembly, applications and permanent Authorized Teacher's
Certificates were prep&#6357106;ed. A supply was mailed to the Overseers, and several
have been issued to persons set forth by their local churches, according to the
Committee's recommendation. Some, who were licensed evangelists, have felt

MINUTES OF THE 68TH ANNUAL ASSEMBLY 61
that this Authorized Teacher's Certificate is more in line with their calling
and have requested the change. Until now, all who felt a special unction to
minister had no choice but to be a bishop, deacon, evangelist, or lay minister,
and to be licensed accordingly. Now, their teaching ministry can be
recognized without the requirement to make monthly reports such as those
which the preaching ministry &#6357106;e asked to make.
All of our teachers are to be commended for their faithful service to the
Church in the past. Not all have &#6684773;lt a special calling, but many are very
capable. I wish to encourage those who feel the calling of God as teachers to
acknowledge that call. Then, just as every other minister should do, after you
are engaged in your work, you should continue to qualify yourself by prayer
and much study of the Scriptures, in order to teach more effectively the
doctrine and practices of the Church of God.
YOUTH HONOR CLUB
The Youth Honor Club was recommended by the 63rd Assembly in 1968.
Its purpose was to assist in the raising of funds to pay on the construction
costs of our Publishing House, which was new at that time, replacing the one
destroyed by fire in February, 1967. Both the building and equipment in the
old structure had been a Victory Leaders' project twenty years earlier. Five
years ago, the Church challenged our young people through the Youth Honor
Club to give financial help for the new plant and the printing of the gospel.
Just as the youth of that earlier day responded to the call, so have the
youth of today. Youth Honor Club receipts in:
1969-$ 9,441.13
1970-15,282.88
1971-18,890.93
1972-19,077.55
1973-19,992.11
Our young people are to be highly commended for this wonderful response.
We are reminded of the Scriptural passage in Psalm 68:11: "The Lord gave
the word: great was the company of those that published it."
A number of states have achieved 100 per cent participation in Youth
Honor Club this year, and they will be commended during the Victory
Leaders and Publishing House progr&#6357101;s.
Special five-year certificates have been prepared by the Publishing House
to honor those individuals who have contributed $2.00 each year for the five
years r&#6619235;ommended by the Assembly. They &#7798889;ll be given out during this
Assembly. The certificates are signed by the General Secretary of the Victory
Leaders Band and the General Overseer, as well as space for the State
Overseer's signature.

62 MINUTES OF THE &#3539000;TH ANNUAL ASSEMBLY
At the beginning of the Youth Honor Club, the five-year go&#6357100; was
$93,750.00. The total amount to date is $83,816.12. (NOTE: This includes an
offering received in this Assembly.) In keeping with the origin&#6357100; plan, the
five-year certificates are being awarded. Some of the young people have not
been gi&#7733353;ng the full time, so it would be well for you to complete the five-year
program so that you will receive a certificate. Even though this is the last
year of the initial plan, these young people will have the privilege to
voluntarily complete the five-ye&#6357106; go&#6357100;.
The State Overseers and State Secretaries can boost the plan so that those
young &#7340133;ople who wish to receive the certificate will know how to do so. To
each who completed the plan, God bless you for a job well done.
Appreciation to each local church for the response to the White Wing
Messenger Day offering, formerly called the Self-Denial Offering. This helps
to get the paper to those who are unable to subscribe.
It wot.'be well if this Assembly would go on record as recommending that
the Publishing House be given a special boost along with this special White
Wing Messenger Day each year. This would help the Publishing House to
take care of the indebt&#6619236;ness on the building. Just a little extra from each
local church on this special day would be a great blessing to the Publishing
Department. Perhaps the Ways and Means Committee could bring a
recommendation before the Assembly concerning this.

World Mission Drives
There was wonderful response to the October and March World Mission
Drives, which could not have been accomplished without the help of the Lord,
the ministry, the Women's Missionary Band, Church publications, and other
methods. The 1929 Ass&#6619245;bly recommended special drives yearly for mission
funds in October and March.
Auxiliary Information
The auxiliaries have faithfully provided funds to support our work, with
many states showing increases. The only funds received at General Head
quarters for the CPMA are the membership fees as recommended by the 59th
Assembly.
The amounts are after the 20 percent has been deducted, according to the
ruling of the 57th Assembly. All figures are in United States cu&#7471218;ency. The
largest &#6684777;gure is stated &#6684777;rst.

Praise the Lord for prospering the Church this past Assembly year. We
wish we could have accomplished more, but if we have done our best, the Lord
understands. I believe we are aware of the great amount of work yet to be
done, and there is just one way to do it-"Not by might, nor by power, but by
my Spirit, saith the Lord of hosts." (Zechariah 4:6)
Thin&#7012457;ng of the road we have travelled the past seventy years, I wish to
mention an accomplishment this year for which we are all so grateful. Our
Church Historian has completed the first volume of our Church history,
entitled UPON THIS ROCK, and it includes the years through 1922. There
are two more volumes to follow, but this first one contains much that should
help us to appr&#6619235;iate the way the Lord has led us and helped us through many
battles and unto many major victories. This first book of the history is in
print and available for purchase. Brother C. T. Davidson is to be commended
highly for all the labor in research and composition, as well as the prayers and
supplication, which he has put into this valuable work for the Church of God.
He will need our prayers and support as he proceeds with the other volumes.
While our records of the past may stir the fires of inspiration, we must not
lose sight of the fact that the Lord is still blessing His Church today. Several
thousand new members have been added this year. Many of these were saved
in our own services, but a large number of them were "other sheep," which
had been of some other &#6684783;ld. We are so thankful for these who have hungered
and thirsted after more of God, and have walked in the light. The fact that
these have done so is clear evidence that God is fulfilling His Word, and that
other thousands will hear His voice in like manner.
This means that the perfecting processes must be given serious
consideration. Since the perfection of the Ch&#7667826;ch is by the work of the

76 MINUTES OF THE &#3539000;TH ANNUAL ASSEMBLY
ministry, the restlessness among the "other sh&#6619237;p" should alert us to our
present responsibility. Self-ex&#6357101;ination is in order daily. To be quali&#6684777;&#6619236; for
this mighty work, the ministry should be more advanced, both in knowledge
and example, than those who &#6357106;e to be taught.
If we are living in the eleventh hour, this is no time to relax. Rather, it is
time for every laborer to be hired and sent into the vineyard. The battle is not
over yet. Some have seemed to &#6684783;rget the battle and are relaxing on the words
of my father, the former General Overs&#6619237;r, when he s&#6357097;d, "I s&#6619237; nothing but
victory on top of victory &#6684783;r the Church of God.'' Those·who knew my father
will tell you that he understood that for every victory there would be a battle
to win.
Right now, let us be stirred anew for the good fight of faith as we join
together in singing our battle h
&#7929965;n, "At the Battle's Front."
AT THE BATTLE'S FRONT
I've enlisted for life in the army of the Lord,
Though the fight may be long and the struggle fierce and hard
With the armour of God and the Spirit's trusty sword
At the &#6684786;ont of the battle you will &#6684777;nd me.
CHORUS
Hear the tramp! tramp! tramping of the army
The triumph shouting, the foe we're routing;
Hear the tramp! tramp! tramping of the army
Marching on to victory.
I'm in this army, this glorious army.
And the God of the Battles will defend me,
I'm in this army. this glorious army
At the &#6684786;ont of the battle you will &#6684777;nd me.
With the banner of love &#6357102;d of holiness un&#6684789;rled,
Full salvation proclaim to a sinful dying world;
Tho' the d&#6357106;ts thick and fast from the enemy be hurled,
At the &#6684786;ont of the battle you will &#6684777;nd me.
Is you name, friend, enrolled with the loyal ones and true?
Will you dare now to stand with the Saviour's faithful few?
Will you join with me now and the covenant renew?
At the &#6684786;ont of the Battle you will find me.

Bennett, pianist; Mary Lois H&#6357101;m, organist.

1:35 Felix R. Garcia l&#6619236; in concert prayer. Finishing Touches-message by
Field Secretary. Excerpts: Revelation 19:7, 8. Finishing touches are the
beautifying points of any piece of art. In II Chronicles 5, it tells how Solomon
saw that everything was in its proper place before the temple of God was
dedicated. It was a marvelous day when the temple was dedicat&#6619236;, and
everyone was anticipating the manifestation of God. The priests bringing the
ark of the covenant to the holy place &#6684773;lt the presence of God; they set the &#6357106;k
in its place and the temple was dedicated; God's glory &#6684777;lled that house; His
presence was so real making everyone know that God accepted the
presentation. This was a temple, only a type of the habitation of God, the
Church of God. It could not be His permanent dwelling place, as no hands are
capable of buil&#6553705;ng anything great enough to house the presence of God
eternally. In the future there would be a permanent place for His dwe&#7078101;ng.
This was only a type-a shadow of things to come.
I am tal&#7012457;ng about the place where God will abide forever, the great Church
of God. It is important that everything be done according to God's plan.
Jesus, the Son of God, Who was sent from heaven to take care of this
business, made sure that the Church of God was in proper order before His
departure. Jesus had b&#6619237;n with His &#6553705;sciples many months; He preached
many sermons; He visited among them healing the sick, raising the dead,
making the lame to walk, opening blinded eyes. He knew that the time was
close, and He knew that everything had to be done before He left this place.
On His last few days that He was with the early Church be&#6684783;re His
crucifixion, He did much to get everything in its proper place that God
want&#6619236; in His Church. This was going to be the House of God, where He
would abide; He would manifest His power and His spirit; He would show the
world that He was able to build. Jesus taught the people about the
resurrection. His friend Lazarus died. Jesus didn't heal Lazarus before his
death. Three days later He went to Bethany where Lazarus' sister told Him,
"If you had been here Lazarus would not have died." He wanted them to
&#7012462;ow that He was the life and the resurrection. He stood at the door of that
sepulcher and commanded Lazarus to arise and come forth. The mighty
&#7340143;wer of God came on the scene and Lazarus was brought back &#6684786;om ete&#7471214;ity
and placed in the midst of this p&#6619247;ple. Jesus is the resurrection. The Church
was sure, there was no doubt. Some p&#6619247;ple said that we had better get rid of
this Jesus or He would &#6488175;nvert everybody. He could not be put to death until
He had everything done.

78 MINUTES OF THE 68TH ANNUAL ASSEMBLY
Jesus wanted the people to know that He could march and take Jerusalem
triumphantly if He wanted to. He had a plan -get the donkey. There came a
man riding on a little donkey, and the people cried out to him, "Hosanna,
blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord." It couldn't be any other
way, because He was the King of kings. The difference was that He didn't
come to conquer; He &#6553705;dn't come victoriously as a man; but He came as the
Prince of Peace. The crowds sought a way to stop Him because He had the
admiration of the people; they were loo&#7012457;ng to Him because He was the hope
of the world. Jesus needed to leave something else for the disciples to do, and
He instructed them to go into the city and prepare a room where they could
have a supper together. Some thought He was going to have a passover meal,
but it was the Lord's Supper. They had another event called feet washing. He
&#6488175;uldn't leave without giving us that teaching. When the Lord's Supper and
f&#6619237;t washing are observed, a lot of people stay at home. Jesus placed these in
the Church, and you can't stay away from the Lord's Supper service and feet
washing and expect to get to heaven. It is essential for your salvation and for
your et&#7471315;al life. He had already organized the Church, but he hadn't paid for
it. He wanted to be sure that when the price was paid it would not be in vain.
That is why you and I cannot change the teachings of the Bible. There is no
way that we can evade the things established by the Lord in His Ch&#7667826;ch.
Read the gospel of St. John, and it is definitely clear. You and I had to
participate in this wonderful blessing.
Jesus walked out with the disciples into the mountain to teach them
another lesson. You can't skate through this without a little kneeling, praying
and watching. Many Church of God members don't like to pray much ·nor
watch a great deal. That is why they stumble and fall and have a lot of
weaknesses, b&#6619235;ause He taught us to watch and pray. When you fast,
dedicate that day to the Lord. Fast means to go without anything to eat or
drink. The Lord fasted forty days and forty nights. He had to leave these
things in His Church. They were &#6684777;nishing touches, and He is the master
&#6357106;tist. The idea was given to Him by the Father. Many places don't have mid
week services. We're too busy. You have to watch and pray, and you have to
keep in fellowship with God. You have to bend with the .Holy Ghost, or you
won't make it. Once Peter took out his sword and chopped a man's ear o&#6684774;, but
Jesus had to stop that business. Many people would like to take-things into
their hands, but we have only one sword, and that is the Word of God. Just a
short time before, Peter told Jesus that even if he died, he was going to give
his life for Him. Can you imagine what would have happened to the good old
Church of God if Peter had died for it? Everyone wants his church. Jesus
showed that He is the only One Who can sustain us by His grace. Don't get
high and mighty in the Church of God, �ecause without the-grace of Jesus,
you won't make it anywhere. This house&#3080296;ad to be ready, and somebody was
going to witness a dedication. There was a price to be paid. Shortly afterward
Jesus was put on trial and condemned, and He hanged on the cross. He died

MINUTES OF THE 68TH ANNUAL ASSEMBLY 79
&#6684783;r us. He organized the Church, set ex&#6357101;ples for it; died for our sins; He
purchased the Church with His own blood; He gave us the hope of
resurrection and set the Church in motion; sent the promise of the Father to
the Church. That is why she is continuing today, and the Holy Ghost is in
t&#6815849;s. Not long after Jesus' death, His burial and resu&#7471218;ection, He appeared
unto His disciples. He told them to stay in Jerusalem until they were filled
with the Holy Ghost. The Church knew they had to follow orders, and they
were in the Upper Room praying. They tarried nine days &#6684783;r the Com&#6684783;rter,
&#6357102;d on the tenth day there was a sound as of a mighty rushing wind that
shook that house and the people were filled with the Holy Ghost and fire. The
Word says, "Holy Ghost." Lot of people are ashamed to say Holy Ghost.
Jesus didn't say a silent Holy Ghost, but it was one that everybody in
Jerusalem could hear.
There are more finishing touches. God showed up at the temple; Jesus was
present. He organized the Church. He has the Holy Ghost operating, but the
&#6684777;nal touches will be done by a special body that God has in His Church. It is
called the ministry. Ephesians 4:11-13. You can't see Jesus standing here, but
the one representing Him is our General Overseer. The bishops in the Church,
the General Secretaries and others who represent God in this great Church are
helping to put the final touches on. This is why we preach, we rebuke, we
exhort, and we teach you to live godly. Lot of p&#6619247;ple don't like to be told what
to do; but if you &#6357106;e going to be in this final picture, you must be in your
place. Church of God ministers, teachers, and all of us are responsible to make
the Bride ready. I believe we &#6357106;e in the final stage of the finishing touches.
We've &#7012462;own all along about this marriage. You won't be part of this Bride
unless you &#6684777;t in it. When the Bride is ready for Him, she will be proud,
spotlessly clean, full of the Holy Ghost with no wrinkles in her. She will be
waiting, because there will be a trumpet that will announce the coming of the
King. She will be ready-the beauti&#6684789;l church of God, the glorious Church of
God, the lovely Bride of Jesus. (An outpouring of the Holy Ghost upon the
congregation. )

A Brief Statement Concerning Our New Tabernacle
It was reported at the last General Assembly that we had bo&#7471218;owed
$1,500,000.00. This money was &#7602287; be used for the expenses incurred in the
planning and er&#6619235;tion of the Tabe&#7471214;acle, along with its furnishings, the public
address system, the parking lots, etc. Several enquiries have been received
conce&#14352604;g the cost of the Tabe&#7471214;acle, and about the lo&#6357102;. Here are some of
the answers:
Beginning September 1, 1972, we have been paying on the loan $18,399.00
per month. In addition to this, we have had the Merchants Bank transfer
&#6684786;om the funds received by them from the persons who signed notes last year,
the sum of $13,000.22. The Tabe&#7471214;acle Savings Account was closed out and
the proceeds of $11,139.78 were applied on the loan. All of these payments add
up to $226,529.00, of which $101,092.12 was for interest, and $125,436.88 was
credited on the loan, leaving a balance owed on the loan of $1,374,563.12.
Total amount paid through July 31, 1973. . . . . ......... $3,270,352.52

2:33 White Wing Publishing House Report
Financial Statement of the
White Wing Publishing House and Press
To the 68th Annual Assembly of the Ch&#7667826;ch of God, Greetings:
The information for our annual audit has been performed by the firm,
Randolph and Kersey, Certified Public Accountants, Cleveland, Tennessee.
We &#7798889;sh to emphasize that we are not only a business, the commercial,
selling arm of the Church, but also we are a ministry, engaged in the great
task of printing and publishing the Gospel. To accomplish that task we solicit
your continuing prayer support.
Without the dedicated, efficient employees of the publishing house, the
work of the Business Manager would be distressing. The Publishing House
Executive Committee has been particularly helpful, namely, Henry O'Neal,
Press Superintendent, Frank Howard, Accountant, Louis Sullivan,
Merch&#6357102;dise Sales Director, and Mel&#6881390;da Dunn, Executive Secretary to the
Business Manager. These capable people have been most ef&#6684777;cient in their
work and a source of strength to me. The success of the publishing house is
due largely to their dedication and leadership.
More new equipment has been installed in the publishing house than in any
year since our building was built in 194 7 on Central A venue. A new stitcher
trimmer, a large Heidelburg O&#6684774;set Press, and a small Hamada Star Offset
Press have speeded up our production. For the &#6684777;rst time, we are switching our
White Wing Messenger from letterpress to offset printing on a regular basis.
For our errors, we ask forgiveness; for our successes, we give glory to God
&#6357102;d to you, our patrons and supporters.
Our profit figures are &#6815849;gh this year, in spite of the fact that the expense of
building depreciation was charged for the first time on our new building. Our
fiscal year is only 10 months this year, but the profit figure is outstanding.
For the first time, the White Wing Pubiishing House has a pension plan for
its employees. This plan should help stabilize employee tum-over and
improve employee morale.
This is the fifth year &#6684783;r Youth Honor Club. We want to thank everyone
who contributed. Several people have joined our Century Honor Roll this year
by making $100.00 contributions to the publishing house. We welcome others
who are led to contribute in this manner.

86 MINUTES OF THE 68TH ANNUAL ASSEMBLY
We pray God's blessings upon each of you.
Because of Calvary,
Harry Lee Moore
Business Manager

I want to thank all for their prayers on our behalf, as it is only through the
leadership of God that we can go &#6684783;rward. All the accomplishments that have

It has been a great blessing to me to work with the Ministerial Aid

compassion for their &#6684773;llowman and dedication to the Church. Their
deliberations have been with understanding and love.
Besides taking care of the of&#6684777;ce work, I compiled revisions for the Church

To the 68th Annual Assembly of the Ch&#7667826;ch of God, Greetings:
We, your Ministerial Aid Committee, respectft.t$'submit the following
Annual Report for your consideration and approval.
We are most thankful to our Heavenly Father for the financial support and
guidance that He has given to the committee, not only for this year, but all
the past years. We realize that without God we would be unable to do this. We
have noticed through the years, that as our needs grow, God has always
supplied the necessary funds, and for this we are most grateful.
During the past Assembly year, your Ministerial Aid Committee has held
nine m&#6619237;tings in which they have approved six applications for Retirement,
12 for Modified &#5374053;tirement and four for Disability Retirement benefits.
Applications for five widows of former recipients of Ministerial Aid benefits
were approved to receive fifty per cent of their deceased husband's allotment.
Four applications were approved for widows of deceased full-time ministers to
receive assistance. One former recipient was reinstated to receive benefits;
also, the Committee approved benefits for one lay employee. This is a tot&#6357100; of
thirty-two applications approved for the Assembly year.
We now have sixty-three ministers receiving Retirement benefits; thirty
&#6684777;ve are receiving Modi&#6684777;ed Retirement benefits &#6357102;d one hundred nineteen are
receiving Disability benefits; sixty-eight widows of ministers are receiving
assistance; four former lay-employees are receiving Retirement benefits,
making a total of two hundred eighty-nine receiving assistance from the
Ministeri&#6357100; Aid Fund. This is an increase of eleven persons receiving assist
ance from the Funds.
This year fifty-three ministers have passed away. The Ministerial Aid
Committee approved twenty-eight Proofs of Death with a total of $21,050.00
Death Benefit being paid to the beneficiaries of the Ministerial Aid Fund.
The Committee provided thirty-nine Church Flags to be presented by the
officiating ministers, to the next of kin, as a Memorial Tribute on behalf of the
deceased minister. In addition, a Church Flag Memorial Certificate was sent

Report of the Church Benefit Association
To the 68th Annual Assembly of the Church of God, Greetings:
The Church Benefit Association was primarily designed for our people to
benefit them by making their load a little easier in providing life protection for•
them and their families. It is an association of our brothers and sisters united
to help one another by adding strength through their membership.
Our people are not just a name or a statistic but they are real persons. We
f&#6619237;l very close to them. Sometimes they will have financial troubles and
cannot pay. We do not cancel their insurance at the end of the 30 days grace
period, but we k&#6619237;p their insurance in force for several months. Most of these
will overcome their financial dif&#6684777;culty and catch up their back premiums.
During the past Assembly year, we had a total of 46 death claims approved,
with a total of $59,000.00 paid to the beneficiaries. This is a grand total of 507
death claims approved and $628,838.88 paid to the bene&#6684777;ciaries since 1961,
the beginning of our Association.
Insurance Coverage was provided for 91 Church-sponsored Youth Camps
and Winter Retreats with 10,753 campers and camp personnel. A total of
$5,050.56 was paid on 114 claims for injuries to c&#6357101;pers.

3: 1 7 Memorial in honor of ministers who passed away this year, in charge
of A. T. Wagar.
Tribute to Our Deceased Ministers
We are gathered together in this Memorial service to thank God for the rich
heritage which is ours through the sacrifices of those who have lived before
us. Remembering those who laid down their lives for our &#6684786;eedom and
happiness, we desire to meet our own responsibilities in their spirit.
Memorial service is not for the purpose of looking back, but forward to that
great day for which these great ministers worked, sacrificed and gave their
lives to attain that goal.
In Proverbs 10: 7, the scripture reads, "The memory of the just is blessed."
We salute these great ministers who were great not only in &#7077993;fe but also in
death. To them we give an accolade of remembrance for their devotion to
Christ and His Church, for their dedication to duty, their desire to win sot.'
for God; for their sacrifices for the Church which they consider not a sacrifice.
The desire to work for Christ, to preach, to win sot.'burned within their
bones as a fire, possibly, up to the time of their glorious exit from this world.
They completed at least 1,290 years of ministry &#6684783;r the Lord.
In the Gettysburg Address, Abraham Lincoln stated in words which we
feel so fittingly app&#7077993;es to our soldiers of the Cross: ''The world will little note,
nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did
here. It is for us the living, rather to be dedicated here to the un&#6684777;nished work
which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for
us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us-that from these
honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave

MINUTES OF THE 68TH ANNUAL ASSEMBLY 95
the last full measure of devotion-that we here highly resolve that these dead
shall not have died in vain."
We that remain, let us take strength and courage from the memory of their
work and carry on in the same Holy zeal burning within us to complete the
Great Commission to which they contributed so much of themselves.

Report of the Tomlinson Home for Children
Board of Directors
To the 68th Annual Assembly of the Church of God, Greetings:
We, the Board of Directors of the Tomlinson Home for Children, want to
express· our thanks to God and His Church for the spiritual and material
support rendered to this cause during this past Assembly year. Our State
Overseers, state Sunday School secretaries, pastors, superintendents,
members and friends of the Ch&#7667826;ch have responded wonderfully to the needs
of the home, and we want to take this opportu&#7209065;ty to thank each of you. May
the Lord bless you for your labor of love in behalf of this work.
Since the beginning of our orph&#6357102;age work in 1945, we have helped to care
&#6684783;r approximately 310 children in the homes in Cleveland. We are now caring
for 40 children in India and 146 in Korea. We are now providing care for more
children than at any other time. The total being 213 this Assembly year.
We commend the directors of the home in India, Brother and Sister D.
Joseph, and the directors of the home in Korea, Brother and Sister David
Kim, for the good work they are doing. The homes in these countries speak
well in behalf of the Church. We have been supporting the home in Korea
subject to the acceptance and approval by this 68th Assembly.
The home in Mexico is nearing completion. The Overseers and churches of
North and South Mexico are to be commended for their support for this home.
We appreciate our houseparents here in Cleveland: Brother and Sister
Hagood, who are serving as relief houseparents; Brother and Sister Talbott,
who are houseparents at the boy's home; and Brother and Sister Cline, who
are houseparents at the girl's home.
Our office sta&#6684774; composed of Marie Bryant, secretary; Anna Vee Spurling,
coupon and stamp coordinator; and Ressa Mae Griffith, assistant coupon
worker, has worked hard this year. Through their efforts and your sending in
stamps and coupons, we have realized $21,142.18.
We want to express our gratitude to Jackie Moore, a child-guidance major.
She has been spending an evening a week with the children, which has proved
to be very beneficial.

7:25 "We Are Ambassadors For Christ"-message by Elwood Matthews.
Excerpts: Read II Corinthians. An ambassador is the highest ranking
representative appointed by one gove&#7209183;ent to be the representative to
another. How does one become an ambassador? An ambassador for a nation
does not just d&#6619235;ide to go to another nation to be an ambassador. Neither
does it work that way in God's business. An ambassador is chosen. John
15:16; Matthew 4:19. It is necessary that we follow Jesus Christ. Are we
trying to fish for sotF'and not &#6684783;llowing the Lord closely? Christianity has
become fashionable. A few years ago it wasn't, but many who proclaim
salvation have made news headlines. We need to get the attention of God so
that He will choose us ambassadors for Him. Some people desire to be
ambassadors so much that they become impersonators. We must be
ambassadors for Jesus the way He wants us. Acts 19:12-16.
An ambassador must re&#6684780;ect the glory for his country-not himself.
Imagine an ambassador going into another country complaining about his
country! Ambassadors for Jesus Christ and the Church of God, do we go
about murmuring and complaining about the Church and expect people to
come? Imagine an unfaithftF'member telling others how wonderft.' the
Church isl What about a pastor who disregards some of the rt.&#7798894;e'of the
General Assembly, and in conference he exercises the government of the
Church? Suppose these evangelists muttered and &#6684789;ssed about the Church all
day and then bounce up at night hollering come to Jesus and the Church of
God. Some of us may be fired from the Lord and don't know it. Samson didn't
&#7012462;ow he had b&#6619237;n fired. He dabbled around with Delilah, and she trimmed
him too close. Why are we not having a move of God in our services and
revivals? I am not talking about the evangelist, but why are we not having a
move of God in our local churches? Pastors, if an evangelist comes into your
home and gripes about everything from General Headquarters to the smallest
church, I challenge you to contact the Director of Evangelism. We don't need
this kind of business to build the work of God. Don't fight the hand that feeds
you. I'm talking about building a strong work for God and for the edifying of
the Body of Christ. Evangelists have also visited in homes where the Church
and God were not edified.
An ambassador must proclaim a certain message-the message that the
leader of his country tells him. We as &#11141320;bassadors are to proclaim the

MINUTES OF THE 68TH ANNUAL ASSEMBLY
103
message of Jesus Christ and the Church of God-not custom and your
personal stand&#6357106;d. When you become a part of this holy nation, you are to
speak what this Book says. (He called some from different localities to tell the
time at their home, and everyone was different.) That is what happened to the
early Church. Some brought their points. When you come into the Church of
God, you operate according to this standard and no other. Evangelists,
preach this Book and forget what time it is where you came &#6684786;om. Talk about
this Book, and it &#7798889;ll work everywhere. God's standard is our message, and I
suggest that we quit playing with it, and preach it like it is.
The nation's resources are behind an ambassador when he goes to another
country. It wot,'be unreasonable to think of an ambassador being in another
country with no help to perform his task. We ambassadors of Christ have the
resources of the glory world behind us. God has promised to stand by us.
Money is not o&#7667826; problem. When we get that sweet, sweet spirit, the power of
God falling, get deliverance, and get healings, the money will come. (He called
John L. Sttt E'and told of some of the hardships he endured.) Because of
these kinds of men, we are able to see where we are; know what we know.
These men did the work &#6684783;r God on their knees crying out to God. They didn't
have a certain thing be&#6684783;re they wot.'do something for Jesus Christ and for
the Church of God. In this twentieth century when God has blessed us &#7077993;ke He
has, surely we can get His attention. Evangelists, don't worry about finance.
You get the favor of God, and there isn't a pastor who can keep you from
getting a good offering. The resources of heaven are behind God's people; if
we will do right, God will take care of us. I'm not talking about us over
obligating ourselves, because we want to be in style. God hasn't told you He
is going to give you everything you want. He said He wott'give us our
needs. We are ambassadors for Christ-God manifest in the flesh, Jesus
Christ the Son of the living God. That Christ has reached out and chosen you
and me to bring forth fruit. He said, "I have chosen you." That means that I
have been chosen to be an ambassador for Him-that I am to reflect the glory
of Jesus Christ and His Church-not my own. We are to proclaim the
message of this Book and the resources of glory are behind us. I w&#6357102;t to be an
effective ambassador for Christ. I am not satisfied with a mediocre ministry,
nor having a series of dry meetings and calling it a revival. I am not satisfied
with no one coming to the altar. God has called me, and He has called you to
be ambassadors and shake this world for Jesus Christ. (He reqtII'those
who wot.'like to be ambassadors for Christ to stand and take the person by
the hand that is standing by you and pray for him to be an effective
&#6357101;bassador.) I am convinced that we as God's p&#6619247;ple will be effective
ambassadors when we stand on Christ, the solid rock. As we stand there, we
can expect a moving from God.

104 MINUTES OF THE 68TH ANNUAL ASSEMBLY
8: 17 Elwood Matthews led a concert prayer in behalf of the healing service.
8:18 Healing Provided In The Atonement-message by Hubert J. Vicars.
Excerpts: Romans 10: 17. I pray that the Word of God will build your faith to
the extent that you will receive whatever you need of God. If anything
happens, it will be God. We must keep our minds on Jesus Christ. (Dale
Vicars sang "He Touch&#6619236; Me.") The atonement is God's provision &#6684783;r man to
be reconciled &#7602287; Him. Divine healing is taught in the Bible, by the Church,
and demonstrated by the ministry. Divine healing is an integral part of the
commission of the Church. Healing should not be emphasized as more
important than salvation. The power of God is sufficient to heal. Healing is to
sustain life and health of God's people. When there is no need to sustain life
and health, God will take us to be &#7798889;th Him. This is not defeat, but victory.
Revelation 20:6. When meeting certain conditions, all the powers of darkness
cannot keep a believer sick. When conditions are met, God will confi&#7471213; His
Word. I be&#7077993;eve that healing is on the basis as the forgiveness of sins, and it is
just as easy to get. Ask God for the same faith that the early Church had. We
should keep the commandments of Christ and follow Him in speaking,
working, living, and walking in the Spirit. Put to death all c&#6357106;nal traits
contrary to the will of God, and practice &#7077993;terally the teachings of the Church
of God. The gospel is the power of God unto salvation, and healing is included
in salvation. To be healed, it &#14876885; require more than you hearing the Scripture.
We must come for healing in the same fr&#6357101;e of mind as we came for salvation.
Isaiah 53:1-5. God's Word is true. The idea of this Scripture is that Christ
carries the load of sin and sickness for all. We must believe in the provision to
experience healing or salvation. All of the promises and benefits of the gospel
are for believers. "According to your faith, so be it unto you." Matthew 8: 9-
13. This man expressed absolute faith in the power of Jesus Christ to heal. He
saw that which commands respect, and it is possible we would get more from
God if we showed more respect &#6684783;r Him, His Word, and the Church of God.
Christ seeks faith; when He finds it, He will honor it.
Many of us are like the man at the pool of Bethsaida -depending upon
som&#6619247;ne else to put him in the pool. I say that this man didn't know Christ,
because he was at the pool while others were following. This man proved his
faith by rising. When people are asked to do things they say, "I can't." If you
are in a wheelchair, in the name of Jesus get up. Christ is a healer. Matthew
5:35. This takes in all sicknesses and diseases. If medical science discovers
new ones, Christ has power to heal; and He gave autho&#7471209;ty to His servants to
heal. The message of Jesus Christ is to save and to heal, and His message is
directed against the devil and his kingdom. If you have salvation and an
affliction, attempt to reach that faith you had when you received Christ into
your heart. Isaiah 53 :4 tells of Christ being smitten for our salvation and our
healing. It takes more than just head knowledge to be saved or healed. Luke
4:14-19. There is no room for unbelief when we accept Christ as our Saviour.

MINUTES OF THE 68TH ANNUAL ASSEMBLY 105
There is no room for doubt when we s&#6619237;k healing for our bodies. Mark 10:46-
51. I am not a healer going up and down the country preaching healing. I
preach the whole message of the Church of God. I am preaching a part of the
whole message, and begin now to beg for deliverance. We need to get the
attention of Christ so that all of our people will be delivered from their afflic
tions. This man threw aside everything and came to Jesus. Jesus was halted
by this impassioned cry of need. This time the man was not begging for
money, but he was believing in the Christ, the Son of God Who was able to
heal. When he got healed, this took the reproach off the man. I am sure he
wasn't at the s&#6357101;e place begging any more. He was out declaring that Jesus
Christ had delivered him; that he had found the atonement provided for him.
He threw aside his garments so they would not hinder his getting to Christ.
We must throw aside everything that will hinder us from getting our he&#6357100;ing.
I am not saying that you will never die. There is a "never die doctrine" going
around. I don't believe in that. I believe that precious is the death of the
saints in the sight of the Lord. Hebrews 4: 12-16. There is healing in the
Church of God, and God will honor healing in His Church. Many are trying to
steal the honor that belongs to the Son of God. This not done by
personalities, but God should have the glory. This is God's Word. It
penetrates man's innermost being, and like the surgeon's knife, it forces open
the flesh, and the surgeon looks on the cause of your affliction. God sees your
af&#6684780;iction, and He knows what it is. Hebrews 13:8. Christ is unchangeable.
Christ was here yesterday, and He wi&#7077996; be here tomorrow, and He is here now.
Don't think of the minister, but come to Jesus. The only reason God will heal
you is for service and dedication to Him. You must believe because the law of
God is to him that believes. I &#6357101; challenging you to reach for faith. Don't be
afraid-God will take care of that. He will uphold His Word; He will not let
the Church suffer shame. The devil will rule through fear. Healing is coming
to the Church of God. The Children of Israel went through the wilderness, and
God was with them. They came out youthful, with vigor, and health. He is the
same God today. If God speaks, will you listen? God's gifts are in the Church,
and the gift of healing is here, and God is wanting to use it. He wants to use
you, ministers.
8:52 Os&#3932219;ar Pittman gave testimony of God healing him of terminal cancer
this year, and he trusted God through it all. Thomas Norton said, "Four
hospitals and medical specialists say it is medically impossible that I'm
living."
9:10 "God is So Good," led by Arthur Woodruff as ministers formed lines
to pray for the sick. Music by the Bahama Brass Band as 2,237 were anointed
and prayed for; more than three thousand cloths were anointed.
10: 13 Singing by Jim Brinkley Evangelistic Team. Opportunity was given
for some to testify. Many came to platform praising God for healing.

9:25 Message on the Church Flag by Pete Ojeda. Exce&#7471216;ts: Read I Kings
10: 13. Everything that we have needed, God has provided. He went a little
further. He is going with the Church and He said, "Wait children, I've got
more in the treasury to give you," and He gave an ensign; He gave us Jesus
Christ, the One Who purchased the great Church of God with His blood. That
is what He is saying. Out of the royal bounty, I'm going to give you more. All
that we've needed, all that we've desired, and &#6357100;l that we've asked He has
given us. The m&#6357106;kings of the ensign-the stripes, the sceptre, the star, and
the cro&#7798894;. Those of us who know about it know what it represents. In the
United States, along the highways there are signs such as "Food and lodging
ahead." In Old Mexico, they don't have these signs; they have markings. A
picture of a spoon and saucer lets you know that there is a restaurant ahead; a
picture of two gas pumps lets you know that a gasoline station is ahead.
These markings can be understood in any language. I am a man who came out
of Catholicism, but I am here because I found the truth. When this (the
ensign) was waving in Adrian, Michigan, I started asking questions. When I
asked what it stood for, I was told it stands for the truth. That is what I want.
I want to be &#6684786;&#6619237; and make it to heaven. I have lea&#7471214;ed from you. Had you not
shown me love and unity and kindness and these other things, I wouldn't be
here today. I am what I am by the grace of God. Two &#7012457;nds of birds are the
buzzard and the dove. The Bible speaks about the dove, but the buzzard will
pick up anything. In the Church of God, you don't just pick up anything. You
are going to be like the dove and pick the one that stands for the truth; the
one that the Church teaches; the one that's got the government of the
Church. If you want to just exist, be a buzzard. If you want to live, stick with
the Church and be a dove. A. J. Tomlinson sought the Lord ten years about

MINUTES OF THE 68TH ANNUAL ASSEMBLY 107
an ensi
&#6750318; before it was introduced September 16, 1933, in the 28th General
Assembly. Not only did A. J. Tomlinson introduce the flag; not only did the
Questions and Subjects Committee accept it; not only did the Assembly
adopt it, but the Holy Ghost gave approval to it. I feel that same spirit here
now. God is still with us, and it is because of men that fear God, I believe
David foresaw this. Psalm 60:4. See, Church, the flag can't do it all; God
can't do it all; the Church must do something about it. He's doing His part;
the flag is doing its part; now is time for the Church to do its part in this
generation. Isaiah 13:2. We're not just anybody-we are something in the
sight of God. When Jesus saved you, you became something in the sight of
God. September 16, 1933, A. J. Tomlinson described the colors. The red
stands for the blood of that Sa&#7733353;our Who died for you and me and purchased
the great Church of God. The White stands for purity. That doesn't just mean
to take a bath outside, but you have to get holy and sanctified. You must get
cleaned inside and out. Blue stands for the truth. The sceptre stands for
authority, the star stands for the bright and morning star Jesus Christ, the
crown stands for Him being cro&#7798894;ed King of kings and Lord of lords.
When praying for this message, the Lord spoke to me and had me to look at
the &#6684780;ag, and asked did I know the life of Moses? I answered that I think I do,
but what has that got to do with the ensign? Moses died at 120 years, and
what did Moses le&#7471311; the first 40 years? I said that he learned You were all
over the world. There are three circles in that ensign and the first means God
all over the world. The second forty years Moses learned about the power of
God when he saw the bush bu&#7471214;ing and it wasn't consumed. The third forty
years Moses learned the great miracles with God's chosen people, the
Israelites. The Church has seen many miracles throughout this generation.
The Holy Ghost is the third circle. The Holy Ghost is all over the world. The
Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost make three perfect circles. Forty years
the Church has had the ensign. It was adopted in 1933, and the Holy Ghost
gave its approval. It was in the 28th Assembly and this is the 68th. He asked
me, "How many years did the Former General Overseer lead the Church?" I
said, "Forty years." Joshua led the people into the Promised land. See that
leader, He's going to take us in. It won't be long! It's right at the door. We are
going to see that Promised land soon. That is what God was trying to tell me
&#6684783;r the message that I must deliver this day. I feel so unworthy. I have only
been in the Church six and a half years. If you want to live and make it to
heaven, you better stick with the Church, its government and doctrine. We
have received many benefits in the Church of God. Don't you love that
ensi
&#6750318;? The Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost &#6357106;e all over the world. We
are under the banner of love. We are protect&#6619236;. We have nothing to fear.
Church, we haven't lea&#7471214;ed it all; we have more to learn.

directed the New Life Choir in singing "Praise The Lord," "Come Holy
Spirit," "Ye Sh&#6357100;l Be Witnesses," and "A&#7077996; Over The World."
10:19 "The Lord gave the word: great was the company of those that
published it." Psalm 68:11-message by E. L. Jones. Excerpts: I feel that we
are dealing with the most precious commodity in this world-the Word of
God. We are living in a catastrophic period. Things are not the same, but
God's Word is the same. Life is wonderful, and Ilove life. James 4: 14; I Peter
1:24. The Scripture says, "God gave the word." We are not dealing with the
ideas and philosophies of man, but we are dealing with the Word of God. Read
II Peter 1: 15-19 and 21. It seems that we are developi&#7209063; an attitude against
the Word of God. We have the idea that we are striving with one another.
How many of you know that you have heard the Word of God during this
Assembly? Some of us have already decided that we are not going to obey;
but God gave the Word, and great was the comp&#6357102;y of those that published
it. This is what is going to make the company great. The Bible says pray for
the company of those that publish God's Word. When everything else lets us
down, the company that sticks to God's Word and publishes it will be great.
God's Word is contained in the Holy Bible. Listen to p&#6357106;t of the covenant,
"Will you sincerely promise in the presence of God and these witnesses that
you will accept this Bible as the Word of God?" I believe God is bigger than
any expression of man, but through His inspired written Word, we have a
brief expression of God. Word is a remark, advice, a series of sounds having
meanings and used as a unit oflanguage. This is God's language. Without the
Word, we would not know. The Word gives the best account of the Creation.
Hebrews 11:3; Colossians 1:16, 17. God's Word tells of His manifold
blessings. In II Chronicles 7:14, we find a brief expression from God; had it
been h&#6619237;ded; we would have been kept out of the mess we are in, through the
transgression in the garden. Genesis 2:16, 17. The human family in its
arrogance disobeyed God. God's Word gave advice and wa&#7209179;ng of danger.
When we don't heed the warning, we must suffer the consequences, and we
&#6357106;e. God's Word brings deliverance to those who will trust in Him. Proverbs
30:5. T&#6815849;s was said by Agur who was not a Christian. The Church of God will
never deviate from the Word of God. The only thing that will k&#6619237;p you in the
Church of God is the Word of God, and you better get involved with it.
Singing is all right, and it stirs a lot of p&#6619247;ple, but it takes the Word of God to
settle a person. Some of us are trying to be pop singers in the Church of God. I
could have made it outside as a pop singer and could have been a mil&#7077993;onaire
could have been dead and in hell too. Since I committed my life to God and to
His Church, there is no entertaining with me. I sing to the honor and glory of
God. If my singing stirs you, God's Word will settle you down. What is going
to make the Church great is that we are going to publish the message. Publish
comes &#6684786;om the Latin word meaning make public announcement of. The
oldest agency of communication is mouth-to-mouth, or common talk. God
told His prophets to speak, or go and deliver my message. Later it was

MINUTES OF THE 68TH ANNUAL ASSEMBLY 109
cW..I'an inspiration that they should write it. Job 19:23. People forget what
you say; but when it is &#6881390; writing it stays. Don't you see how God has taken
care of this? We have preached the airplane progrWh'we have preached the
stone progrW); we have shown ample prophecy to show that God directed it
for the Church of God to use. God has brought printing and publishing along
for the Church to use. There were some early methods of copying or printing,
but in 1440 when the printing press was invented, it became possible to
pub&#7077993;sh the Bible, which was the beginning of the modern book. This
prophecy was fulfilled: "They were printed in a book." Jesus said that the
gospel should be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations, which
means that a public announcement would be made concerning God's Word.
One week before Jesus went to the cross, there went out a public
&#6357102;nouncement that He was the Son of God. Jesus told His disciples to go to a
certain place where a donkey was tied and tell the owner that the Master had
need of him. Jesus rode through Jerusalem publicly announcing that He is the
Son of God. In these last days, where publishing has gro&#7798894; and in just a few
minutes you can have thousands of prints of literature concerning the Word
of God, that is the donkey that God got tied &#6684783;r the Church of God-the
printing industry, the computers, calculators, and all other modern
inventions-that is the donkey for the Church of God to make one public
&#6357102;nouncement-"Behold, the Bridgegroom cometh; go ye out to meet him."

11:16 SOMETHING NEW: Henry O'Neal, Press Administrator.
Remarks: This is the golden wedding anniversary of the White Wing
Messenger and the Church. A number of advancements have been made in
equipment this year. Three things brought the cardinal doctrine of the Church
to us-the Spirit of God, anointed preaching, and paper and ink. Martin
Luther brought justification by faith, there was the outpouring of the Holy
Ghost at the t&#7471331; of the century, and A. J. Tomlinson brought the message of
the Church. One of the primary purposes of the printing press is the
forwarding of God's Word. El&#6619235;tronic typesetting was installed in the White
Wing Press in 1972, which is used primarily on different languages; the
Mueller Saddle Stitcher will trim and stitch up to 9,000 booklets an hour; the
Heidelberg Press will run up to 10,000 sheets an hour; recently installed a
small two-color press and other equipment.
Robert J. Pruitt, Sunday School Editor. Remarks: In 1974, we will begin a
five-year cycle out of the seven years of lessons. We are recycling five of the

llO MINUTES OF THE 68TH ANNUAL ASSEMBLY
past seven ye&#6357106;s of lessons in order to introduce some new materials. There
will be a teachers' commentary &#6684783;r juniors and teens. We are adding a new
quarterly called the "Condisciple." This will minister mainly to senior high
and college age students. There will be offered a Sunday School Elective that
will cover the era of A. J. Tomlinson from 1903 to 1943. You may choose this
study instead of the regular Sunday School lesson &#6684783;r a quarter.
Dee Ann Boettcher remarked: There will be a Vacation Bible School
Supplement. The White Wing Publishing House endorses Scripture Press
material for Vacation Bible School, but there is a need for the children to be
exposed to more Church of God doctrine. The supplement will be styled
somewhat like the primary manual, and it will be on levels for the primary,
the junior, and the teen. For the Sunday School preschoolers, there will be
printed "The Still Sm&#6357100;l Voice" and art supplement.
R. 0. Covey, Assistant Editor. Remarks: The "White Wing Messenger"
began fifty years ago September 15. For half a century, it has been a loyal
messenger and servant of the Church of God, and it has been known as our
"Little Minister." Until 1955, it was newspaper style of four pages. Then it
was made a sixteen-page magazine. These fifty years it has been printed by
letter press, but there has been a change for the "White Wing Messenger"
and the "Happy Harvester," that goes into prisons and to shut-ins. This is
not a new message, but a new appearance which is explained in an editorial in
the "White Wing Messenger" August 23, 1973, entitled "The White Wing
Messenger Dresses Up." (Read editorial about the paper being printed by
offset.) I would like to express appreciation to all whose efforts are combined
to makeup the "White Wing Messenger," as well as the "Happy Harvester,"
of whom Ora Mae Willing is the Managing Editor. There are the contributors
of news, the typesetters, the artists, the cameraman, the compositor, my
office secretary, the pressmen, the Subscription and Mailing Departments;
the Free Literature Department mails the '' Happy Harvester''; the trimmers,
staplers, mail truck driver; there are those who pray over the "White Wing
Messenger" when it is in the mail bags. Many use the paper as a contact to
increase their faith. Our Business Manager has done much to arrange to get
the paper to you more q&#7667817;ckly. We appreciate each subscriber, and we trust
that each reader will receive blessings that are intended for you through this
wonderful channel.
H. L. Moore told of a large shopping center in Maryland giving free use of
an area for a branch of the White Wing Publishing House Bookstore through
the efforts of Roy Cantrell and others.
Wanda Edwards remarked: Have you wondered why the Lord chose the
medium of written word to communicate His truths to man? The written word
has a certain power or authority. People tend to believe what they read. The
written word has played a great part in the spread of the gospel all over the

MINUTES OF THE 68TH ANNUAL ASSEMBLY 111
world; it plays a great part in the propogation of the doctrines of man all over
the world. We are being bombarded with written material which tells
everything but the truth of God. Almost any store today sells &#7798898;itten
material, but very &#7077993;ttle of it is based on the truth of God. There is a great
need. In an article which I recently read, the author said, "A christian
bookstore is like a spi&#7471209;tual oasis in whatever city or town it exists." I am
thankful that Brother Moore has decided to open a spiritual oasis in Detroit,
Michigan. This will be a branch store of the White Wing Publishing House
not just another Christian bookstore, but a Church of God of Prophecy
bookstore.
Harold Parker remarked: I was associated with the White Wing Publishing
House five and a half years, and my dream was that we would have
bookstores all over the United States. Instead of us having to go to other
Christian bookstores-I thank God for these-we could go to a Church of
God of Prophecy bookstore to purchase any supplies to properly operate our
Church. As advisor, I didn't realize that my duties would be painting,
cleaning, and scrubbing, but I have been involved in all of this getting ready
to open the White Wing Gift and Book Centre at 22146 Michigan Avenue,
Dearborn, Michigan, October 26, 1973. Our publishing ministry has increased
manifold over the years. I feel that we have some of the most qualified
authors of any religious organizations in the world to tell people about Jesus
Christ and to present God's Word to them. There will be a ministry in which
we propagate the message of Jesus Christ to all who come inside the doors of
our store. This is also a form of outreach. People will come in who are
searching for peace in their souls, and there may be opportunity to present
Jesus Christ to them. When I find som&#6619247;ne who is looking for the truth, I am
going to give him an invitation to attend the Church of God of Prophecy. If
someone enters the bookstore while I am there, I am not at all averse to
praying him through in the bookstore. We will not merely be se&#7077996;ing pages of
printed words-the greatest message the world has ever known. We will be
presenting Jesus Christ to the souls of men and women through the printed
page. The more I think about the opening of the White Wing Gift and Book
Centre, the more excited I get. I hope that someday there can be one in your
area.

1:54 An Exciting Invasion on the Rose Bowl Parade-Eddie Gill.
Comments: The young p&#6619247;ple had a zeal to win souls. We were so excited
about Christ, and we wanted to share our experiences with others. Eighty of
us went on a bus at 4:00 A.M. to the Rose Bowl Parade. On our way, we saw
many other religious groups, the Jesus people, etc. We scattered among the
people, some were still asleep, and passed out tracts about Jesus Christ and
talked to them about the Lord. We became excited as some were saved on the
street. We began to pray with other people and show them Scriptures. Each of
you can do the same in your state on Easter or another holiday when there are
parades. I challenge you to stand for the Church of God and do what we did
not to glorify us, but to glorify God. We as Church of God young people can
stand out and be different in this world, and we can anticipate the Lord's
return with another person hol&#6553705;ng our hands.
2:06 Fight Truth Decay-Cervin McKinnon. Remarks: Many standards
that we once held high are decaying before our eyes. All the news media are
trying to excite people because they can turn us on as to what's happening to
the world. Fight truth decay by getting all excited about the Word. I want to

MINUTES OF THE 68TH ANNUAL ASSEMBLY 113
become excited about the things of God. I challenge you to an encounter in
the Word so that individuals will come face to face with the truth. When
Jesus was out with the multitude, there came a man up to Him who had lost
his hearing and he had a speech impediment. Jesus called the man out of the
crowd over to one side (Mark 7 :32-36). He got excited because he encountered
the truth. John 9:1-7 tells of a man being blind &#6684786;om birth; but when Jesus
touched &#6815849;s eyes, he could see. People began asking, "Is he not the one that
was blind from b&#6881394;th?" He was excited because he had come face-to-face with
the truth. Kno&#7798889;ng that the truth of God can excite you and me, then we as
Victory Leaders in the Church of God should not let the truth lose its place in
our lives. I would like for it to be said of this group of young people that we
are excited about the things of God, and that there is no truth decay as far as
we are conce&#7471214;ed. One writer said, "Heaven and earth shall pass away, but
the Word of God shall stand.'' There is no decay there. The Word of God sha&#7077996;
stand. Get so excited about the Word of God that we pick these Bibles up
and read daily; have Bible study; begin to tell somebody about the things of
God &#6684786;om His Holy Word.

2:30 Wanda Hughes prayed, followed by concert prayer. This Generation
and These Exciting Times-message by D. Frank Hughes. Excerpts: In I
Peter 2:9, Peter addressed God's covenant people of that era. My text is,
"But ye are a chosen generation." I am referring to this generation of Victory
Leaders whom I represent, and I am proud of them. I think this generation of
youth is standing at the threshold of destiny. Israel was facing a crisis and
Mordecai said to Queen Esther in Esther 4:14, "And who knoweth whether
thou art come to the kingdom for such a time as this?" God has privileged us
&#6881390; the past century to see young people with great mental and physical
capacities used when faced by a challenge by revolutionary leaders. When a
leader rises up, he turns to the youth. Lenin called upon the Russian youth in
1905 when he planned the Communist take over. Adolph Hitler built his new
Germany on a foundation of t&#6619237;n-age Nazis by capturing their hearts and
minds. Mao Tse-tung and the Red Guard is made up mostly of teen-age
Chinese. They turned China upside do&#7798894;. Fidel Castro-seized the imagination
of the Cuban young people and led them into a revolution. These purposes
were wrong, but I am showing you what a generation of young people can do
when called upon and challenged. I believe God has raised up this generation
to wind up the work in this final hour. This is a chosen generation of young
people. I believe that God is going to use this generation to shake this world
in the last days. These are the Church's last days on the earth. Victory
Leaders, we make up about half of the membership of the Church. Half of the

114 MINUTES OF THE &#3539000;TH ANNUAL ASSEMBLY
world's population is twenty-five years and under. This is a young world and
their voices are being heard. We are greatly indebted to past generations. We
have been preceded by two outstanding generations. We could say the first
generation began with the arise shine of the Church this side of the Dark Ages
in 1903. That was a great generation who crawled on their kn&#6619237;s in prayer
searching for the fundamental truths which we practice and believe. With the
death of A. J. Tomlinson in 1943, a second generation came into leadership
headed by M.A. Tomlinson. The Church saw tremendous growth during the
second generation. That brings us to the third generation this side of the Dark
Ages, and that's us. T&#6815849;s is the greatest hour the Church has ever known.
Some p&#6619247;ple say, "I would like to have lived during Jesus' ministry when He
per&#6684783;rmed miracles and healed the sick and raised the dead." Others might
say, "I would like to have lived during the Acts' Church." Others feel they
would like to have lived when A. J. Tom&#7077993;nson did. That was a great age, but I
believe this is the greatest age we have ever known for the Church of God. The
world is tense with a f&#6619237;ling of destiny. The final pieces of the great prophetic
puzzle are falling into place. Nations, world leaders, churches, youth, and all
other se&#6750317;ents of society are being drawn toward the final drama in prophetic
fulfillment-the coming of the Lord. Does that excite you? Some one told me
that the "New York Times" has the l&#6357106;gest type set to make the biggest
newspaper headlines that have ever been known. They considered using it
when we put men on the moon, but decided that something is going to happen
that is greater than that-when Jesus Christ splits those Easte&#7471214; skies. I am
wondering who will be here to use it. I am going to be in the Rapture. We are
on the brink of the greatest thing that has ever happened in re&#7077993;gious history.
The winds of the Holy Ghost are blowing throughout the land. The revival of
a&#7077996; ages has begun. I believe this generation of young people could be the last
generation, and we could be alive to witness the return of Jesus Christ. ( He
related some incidents mentioned in Matthew 24.) Jesus referring to the fig
tree in the 32d verse said, " ... and putteth forth leaves, ye know that
summer is nigh." The fig tree is symbolic of Israel. Verse 24 says, "Verily I
say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled."
Jesus was meaning the generation that sees all these things fulfilled,
including the stirring of Israel, shall witness the retu&#7471214; of the Lord. What a
privilege to take the Bible in one hand &#6357102;d the newspaper in the other, and
watch the unfolding of the greatest drama of the ages.
The third and major point is, "Will the Church survive this third
generation?" Young p&#6619247;ple, I am proud of you; I'm glad to be living now and
be your leader. Judges 2:7-12. Moses had died. The first generation had been
&#6684783;rgotten. Then Joshua and his contemporaries had to step aside. There arose
a generation that knew not the God of their fathers. History says that no
religious awake&#7209065;ng has ever lasted through the third generation. I think we
will make an exception to that rule, and the Church will survive. Some folk
doubt the future of the Church because of this generation. Their hair is a little

MINUTES OF THE &#3539000;TH ANNUAL ASSEMBLY 115
long, some have been rebellious; there has been some trouble with this
generation, but we have trouble with some adults. I &#6357101; not justifying
everything that our young people do, but the old ship of Zion is going to stay
on course. This generation will be Church of God. The devil is trying to
ensnare this generation. We have had the hippie culture, the dope revolution,
hard rock music, the beatniks, and now the revival of the occult. The devil is
doing all in his power to captivate this generation. We have some young
people in the Church of God who are not going to bow. I believe the majority
of this third generation will be different; stand up for the teachings of the
Church; stand against sin even this hour. I believe this generation will be
anchored and unshakable in the truth. Our beloved General Overseer stood in
this same pulpit April 20, 1973, speaking to the BTI students, "I'm so glad
that we have a younger generation that will stand for the truth and for the
doctrine of the Church of God when we older ones have to go to glory."
Brother Tomlinson expressed faith in this third generation, and I don't
believe they will let you down. Some have challenged our stand on certain
doctrinal issues, especi&#6357100;ly those things you put on your fingers, double
marriage; some have said they &#7798889;ll be ch&#6357102;ged. That is fundamental doctrine,
and I believe it will survive through the third generation. Don't try to yoke us
with customs and traditions, but the truth has been proclaimed through the
ages, and we will stand by it and safegu&#6357106;d it. A few weeks ago my father
passed away, and he had been a bishop in the Church of God for many years. I
miss him today, and others like J.B. Wright and C. W. Risner who have gone
on to glory. Dad made a statement a few years ago, "Son, I know that my
active days in the ministry are limited, not many days yet I've got to work,
but I'm so proud that when I go on home to glory you will keep on preac&#6815849;ng,
that you will c&#6357106;ry on, son." Third generation, many of these fellows are going
to have to hand the torch to somebody else. Young people, we must carry on.
This is the generation that can see the Church in her perfect state. (Young
people stood, joined hands &#6684783;rming a circle and prayed.) Third generation, we
have a great responsibility.

3:27 Perry Gi&#7077996;um presented Tennessee's Governor Winfield Dunn. His
Address:
THE GOVERNOR'S ADDRESS
Bishop Tomlinson, Distinguished Guests, Ladies and Gentlemen:
It is my very great pleasure to be here with you today and to have the
privilege of offering you the of&#6684777;cial welcome of the State of Tennessee on this
occasion of the 68th World-Wide General Assembly of the Church of God of
Prophecy.
The spirit of warmth and hospitality which is &#6684783;und here today is
characteristic of the spirit of the citizens of the Volunteer State in general,
and I trust those of you from outside our borders will have a pleasant, as well
as a sp&#6881394;itually uplifting, visit with us.
As you may know, I am a Methodist. We sh&#6357106;e many basic beliefs. And
certainly we share the common purpose of fostering love and goodwill among
all people.
We are fort&#7667822;ate, indeed, to live in this great nation. I need offer no
reminder that this nation was founded by the victims of religious persecution.
Its &#6684777;rst principle is the guarantee of religious freedom &#6684783;r citizens of every
creed. Fundamental to the preservation of this guarantee has been the
vigilance of dedicated Christian leaders.
This state, as was this nation, was carved out of the wilderness by men and
women who kept their hand to the plow, &#6357102;d who, by choice, tu&#7471214;ed their eyes
and their hearts toward God.
Never, in my judgment, has there been a greater need for a reminder of our
heritage, for a firm re-statement of our basic values, for a refreshment of the
Spirit by those of us who are committed to Christianity, than there is today.
And never, in my judgment, has there been such overwhelming evidence of
a great longing for something to believe in, for something to hang on to, for
something to give life meaning and purpose.
Admittedly, our nation today is suffering some disco&#7667826;agement due to the
obvious erosion of some of our basic principles, and to the misguided actions
of some in high places. We have survived national crises before, and we
undoubtedly will again, with divine guidance.

118 MINUTES OF THE 68TH ANNUAL ASSEMBLY
Throughout our history, those men who have bo&#7471214;e the responsibility of the
nation's welfare have relied upon divine guidance. George Washington
explained it in his farewell address as he left the presidency. Co&#7143533;enting on
the errors he may have made as president, he remarked: "Whatever they may
be, I fervently beseech the Ahnighty to avert or mitigate the evils to which
they may tend."
As Governor of the 4 million citizens of this great state, I c&#6357102; affirm that
divine guidance and divine care are essential to the efforts of any human
being to perform such an enormous task.
At this crucial period in the history of our nation, the influence of great men
of the church, and of great churches, is more important than ever before.
Many of the ills troubling our nation arise &#6684786;om the basic problems of
individuals. Your church, and countless others like it, are the trustees of the
conce&#7471214; for individuals, which is the crux of Christianity. It is the responsi
bility of the church to share that conce&#7471214; with a community, a state, a nation,
and a world-all of which, I feel sure, are long on needs and short on
solutions.
It has been said that "Christianity is the good man's text; his life the
illustration." The illustration of this church, and of Bishop Tomlinson's
personal dedication, con&#6684777;rms that he knows his text well. Certainly, the
truths to which you are dedicat&#6619236;, and the fact that you and your membership
throughout this world care enough about your fellow man to devote your
energies toward making Christianity a living, breathing, daily way of life, will
bring great and ineradicable benefits to the people of whatever city or region
&#6357102;d country your lives may touch.
We wish you the joy of achievement &#6357102;d of rich fulfillment. We appr&#6619235;iate
the influence for good, which is the hallmark of your church and its varied
activities.
It was Theodore Roosevelt who said: "The true Christian is the true citizen,
lofty of purpose, resolute in endeavor, ready for a hero's deeds, but never
looking down on his task because it is cast in the day of small things; sco&#7471214;ful
of baseness, awake to his o&#7798894; duties as well as to his rights, following the
higher law with reverence, and in this world doing all that in his power lies, so
that when death comes he may feel that mankind is in some degree better
because he lived."
This is the common purpose that we share today, as we move tow&#6357106;d the
goal of ultimate fellowship with each other. and with Christ-to leave the
world better because we lived in it.
Thank you.
Governor Winfield Du&#7209070;

4:30 TC Chorale sang intermittently as testimonies were given by these
students: Ron Roberts, Martha Allen and Sophia Lewis. Benny Finlayson,
Jr. was speaker for Spiritual Emphasis Week, and he commented: The third
week in October, I came here, which I thought of as next to heaven. I had
visited &#6553705;fferent colleges, but I had never had the privilege of visiting our
Church College. I had never been in a college where the students read the
entire Bible through in one week. Souls prayed through in the dormitories.
We need an education, but we also need an experience with God. Many of the
students fasted for the revival. Now I see the need of sending my children to
Tomlinson College.
4:55 What's New at TC: The President told of the beginning of the third
year course this year; 33 out of 114 courses are Bible related; continuing the
mini-semesters in September and January; the Bible Training Institute will
have use of college facilities; BTI is offering a graduate a scholarship to
attend Tomlinson College; have a Big Brother and Sister Program for the
Tomlinson Home for Children; Gospel Music Camp convened at the College
this year; have a new gymnasium, b&#6357100;lfield and Music Department rooms;
some new members of the faculty; Phil Barker and Daniel Preston who served
the college seven years have resigned; Jim Whittaker will teach in the Music
Department; James Stone is joining the Social Studies Department;
Raymond Brown will teach Bible. The President introduced remaining Staff
and members of the Tomlinson College Board of Trustees.
5:02 Report of Tomlinson College Bo&#6357106;d of Trustees was accepteci as read,
Report of Tomlinson College Board of Trustees
To the 68th Annual Assembly of the Ch&#7667826;ch of God, Greetings:
We, your Board of Trustees of Tom&#7077993;nson College, submit the following
report.
(1) Anticipated enrol&#7077997;ent for the 1973-74 Fall Term is approximately 175
students, a substantial increase over the previous year. Degrees were
conferred on 40 students during the May Commencement exercises.
(2) Completion of the remodeling of the Classrooms and Administration
Building has added greatly to the improvement of the facilities. Also, the

120 MINUTES OF THE 68TH ANNUAL ASSEMBLY
completion of the Music and Physical Education Building has proved a
blessing. The facilities have been made available for other Church
Departments such as Bible Training Institute, as well as making the facilities
available for Assembly activities. All delegates are encouraged to visit the
Campus facilities while at the Gen&#6619250;al Assembly.
(3) A third year Bible oriented program is now offered with a degree for
completion of 100 semester hours. This permits greater study in the areas of
Bible and Church related subj&#6619235;ts for ministerial students.
(4) The response to the M. A. Tomlinson Scholarship Fund Banquet was
excellent. Over $2,200.00 was grossed from a participation of 169 attendees to
the banquet. The Merchants Bank graciously presented a contribution of
$1,000.00 to the Schol&#6357106;ship Fund, for which we express our thanks and
appreciation.
(5) The Board of Trustees wishes to welcome several incoming instructors.
Namely, Jim Whittaker-Music Department; Raymond Brown-Bible
Instructor; and James Stone-Social Studies. Appreciation is also expressed
to those not ret&#7667826;ning to Tomlinson College this ye&#6357106;. These are Phillip
Barker, Dan Preston, Patricia Minter and Harold Hammond. Their years of
faithful service and their contribution to the advancement of Tomlinson
College can hardly be expressed in words. We wish them the best in their new
work for the Lord.
(6) The Board of Trust&#6619237;s has directed that the College Administration take
the necessary steps to assure that every Tomlinson College Student receive
teaching on basic Church Doctrine including: Advice to Members, The 29
Prominent Teachings, The Body of Christ, and The Prominent rulings of the
General Assembly in their regular class schedule.
(7) The Board of Trustees greatly appreciates the continued support of the
College by local churches, states, countries, and individuals. However, due to
&#7667822;paid tuition by some of the previous students, we &#6684777;nd it n&#6619235;essary to
request that additional funds be made available to the College. The Board
feels that each student, past and present, has a moral commitment to see
that their financial obligation to the College be taken care of. Failure to pay
these outstanding accounts is hindering the ability to serve additional
students. Due to this situation, the Board has had to incorporate a new po&#7077993;cy
regarding payment of student accounts requiring payment in fu&#7077996; within
ninety (90) days after registration.
(8) The term of Damous E. McGee expires during t&#6815849;s General Assembly.
Brother McGee has served Tomlinson College faithfully for many years. His
expert leadership and devotion to the work of the College has been an

inspiration to many during his term of office.

5: 15 Recognition and Awards by President. He commented: Thank each of
you who have supported the College in many ways. Overs&#6619237;rs, pastors,
parents, friends, and students have blessed the College. With this year's
enrollment, each of the United States will have been represented at TC and
approximately 20 countries. I feel that this is being a blessing to many places,
and you are boosting the college. Many others have been helpful, but this wi&#7077996;
give an idea of the kind of help that people have given the College. Ray Hyden
has bought &#6684783;r the College a slide and tape presentation on the Dead Sea
Scrolls, two books; he has contributed approximately $100; Jim Hay passed
away leaving his short-wave ham radio set to the College. Ray Hyden
arranged with a company in Ohio to send us a check for $1,100, which we used
to purchase a mower from that company. Chris Kounnas conducts seminars
at the College, and the company he is affiliated with sends about $4,000 to the

5:21 Called to Be Faithful-message by David F. Risch. Excerpts: I think
of a bride as she faithfully awaits that
·
day when she will be united with the
groom. She has a desire to be faithful to her one and only. Isaiah 43: 1. There
was a day in the history of the Jewish people that they were a little of nothing.
It was a miracle how they survived and stayed together. God heard their
cries, and you might say He adopted th&#6619245;-not because they were &#6750322;eat in
number and strong, but because they were weak and small. God did many
miracles and wonders in their lives. He created them and He was redeeming
them. We, the spiritual Israel of our day, are the creation of Almighty God.
He formed us and called us by His name. My dad was one of the first
members of the Church in Pennsylvania. He tried to explain to us children
about the Church of God. He was faithful when it looked impossible, but he
had something that caused him to be faithful. I looked up at h&#6881389; and said,
"Daddy, I don't know what you have." A few years later when I began to
mature spiritually, I saw what my daddy had; it was the calling of God &#6357102;d he
showed to me the Church of God. It didn't come when I was sleeping nor after
a full meal, but God's Spirit and His Word were revealed to me. He called me
into the Church of God, and by covenant I became a member. The third step
places us in a unique position. We are not of those who are saved by the grace
of God, but have not the vision of the Church of God. There is a great
responsibi&#7077993;ty upon us to be faithful to the Church of God, because He has
called us from all others and showed to us His Bride. Are you grateful that
God has called you to be faithful as a part of His Bride? It is not something to
take &#7077993;ghtly, but God requires everyone of His Body to be faithful in all
things. In II Corinthians 11 :2, Paul says, "For I have espoused you to one
husband." Espoused means engaged. &#5439599;ng of Solomon 6:9 tells of the great
love between Christ and the Ch&#7667826;ch, and He said, "My dove my unde&#6684777;led is
but one." Ephesians 5:30, 32. Accepting the perpetual covenant of the Church
makes us members of the Body of C&#6815858;ist-the Church. Because of this
covenant, God expects us as parents, or young married men or women to do
as we are expected to do-leave father and mother and cling to our own. There
comes a separation time in our children's lives. No longer should mom and
dad determine the course of their lives. They might want .to when the children
go wrong; but when they leave home, no longer are mom and dad able to
provide the do's and the don'ts in their children's lives.
I see the Church of God in the Scripture as the Bride of Christ. I am
persuaded that she does not n&#6619237;d any intervention from outside sources. She
can get all she needs &#6684786;om the Head. God has connections in the Church of

MINUTES OF THE 68TH ANNUAL ASSEMBLY 123
God through Christ and the Holy Ghost. When the Church needs something,
He will feed it to the Church in the right channels. I be&#7077993;eve that God gives to
the Church of God exactly what He wants it to receive. I believe when we can
see the Bride as ·she is, we w&#7078101; have the program. We already have the
program that the whole world needs. When we lose this special feeling that a
Bride shot'have, we get in trouble. As long as the young lady is
anticipating the forthcoming marriage, she thinks of no one other than the
bridegroom. Let us think about the relationship between an espoused couple.
No d&#6619235;ent thinking young man wants his intended wife playing around with
another man or vice versa. In my courtship days, there was something special
betw&#6619237;n my girl and I. Before the engagement, she was free to do whatever
she wanted to; I was free to do whatever I wanted to. After the engagement,
we were responsible for our conduct to each other. I believe God, as we are the
intended Bride of Jesus Christ, expects us to be trtL'and faithft.'in all things
to Him. When faithftt&#7798894;L'exists, all is well in the family. When unfaithft."
ness exists, it is another story. The enemy has placed good looking objects
before us. Cot.'we liken them to a beautift.'woman or a handsome man?
They are placed there to woo members of the Church of God away from the
Groom. He wants to hinder the Church and cause you to lose your sot.'These
girl friends and boy friends have been placed there to woo you. Satan has his
eyes on the Ch&#7667826;ch of God. We are the Church of God following the patte&#7471214;,
and he can't do much with the patt�&#7471214;. The enemy can hurt you, and he can
hurt o&#7667826; local churches. Let us talk about one of his friends that is beautift.'
that has been placed before the Church. Compromise and evil are before the
Church of God in this day. The spirit of &#7077993;b&#6619250;alism, or the force of wanting to
become radical is wooing our people. Satan will want things changed. I
believe in the Church of God; if we don't do what has already b&#6619237;n laid down,
it will turn to bitterness. For a season it might look and smell good; you
might think you have it made, but in the end it will tu&#7471214; to bitte&#7471214;ess. This
force wott'like for us to change our great program. Israel in that day said to
the king, "You go to the old men that stayed under Moses." We can go back
to the prophets, apostles, and Jesus Christ. We don't have to depend upon a
prophet today. Ours is laid out in the Scriptures. We need to rebuke the devil
for causing us to think about changing the teachings and advice of the Church
of God. We only need to put them in practice. Called to be faithft.'to the
program that has been initiated-not to make our pro&#6750322;ams. Sometime ago
the General Overseer sent out a message saying that the Advice to Members
is just as important as the teac&#6815849;ngs of the Church of God. We need to be
faithftn'to the &#6684783;undations already laid. The Bride is making Herself ready,
and only those who are faithftt'will be in the Bride on that great day.

speaking with more than three hundred million English-speaking p&#6619247;ple. The
Church has reached twenty of these sixty countries. Revelation 7:9. I have
graduated from Canaan to the Isle of Patmos. John saw the four

7:42 Eye Witness On What Is Happening in: INDIA-T. M. Mathew.
Remarks: When I attended the Assembly last year, I was a visitor. Today I
am an official delegate from India of the Church of God of Prophecy. I called a
great convention and more than three thousand five hundred people were
taken into the Church. Acts 2: 30 tells of 3,000 being added to the Church; but
we now have 100 churches with 6,000 members. The command is given to the
Church of God to feed the lambs, to feed the sh&#6619237;p, and in obeying we will add
thousands to the Church of God of Prophecy. The just shall live by faith, and
on this faith, we are going to victory. Thank you for supporting India, and
pray for the work.
COLOMBIA-Fernando Galvis B. Remarks: I am the first representative
from Colombia to be in the Assembly. I found the Church of the Bible in a
little mission in Bogota, where the Church was estab&#7077993;shed this year. I hope
next year in the Assembly we can have representatives like the states.

8:49 The Macedonian Call-message by Charles G. Hawkins, Sr.
Excerpts: Historians estimated that in the first cent&#7667826;y there were one
hundred million people who inhabited the known world. By the end of the
century, the Church claimed approximately one-half million adherents.
Counting &#6684786;om the first year of Christ's ministry to the close of the cent&#7667826;y
would mean that it took the Church approximately seventy-four years to gain
one-half million. It has been seventy years since the &#6357106;ise shine, and the
membership in this Assembly has been reported 150,000. We have a

126 MINUTES OF THE &#3539000;TH ANNUAL ASSEMBLY
challenge. The world is inhabited with three billion souls. Will we be able to
claim one-half million of them in the next four years? I believe we can. The
early Church &#6553705;d a tremendous job of spreading the gospel under seemingly
impossible odds. The known world at that time reached from Spain to the
Black Sea. A plane can travel that distance in a matter of hours. In Apostolic
times, the same distance would have required weeks and months, and some
areas were almost inaccessible. The ministers of the early Church met the
challenge. Peter preached in Jerusalem, Lydia, Joppa, Antioch, Babylon and
Asia Minor; John preached in Jerusalem, Samaria, and Ephesus. He was
exiled to the Isle of Patmos in his last years. Thomas is said to have
established the Church in India. Tradition says that he set the Church in
order in Kerala, where Brother Matthew, who is in the Assembly, is &#6684786;om.
Phillip witnessed in Samaria and preached in Caesarea. It cannot be
determined how far-reaching were the results of his witnessing to the
Ethiopian eunuch. It is believed that Mark carried the message to Egypt and
eventually a missionary school was established in Alexandria.
The greatest missionary was the Apostle Paul, who carried the good news
throughout Asia Minor and Greece, establishing the Church in strategic
places. Eventually he went to Rome, and some believe he reached as f&#6357106; as
Spain. It was not just an off-handed remark by Paul when he said, " ... be
not moved from the hope of the gospel, which was preached to every creature
which is under heaven ... " Colossians 1:23. All of these New Testament
preachers seemed to have a willingness to suffer any hardship or bear any
reproach necessary in order to bring the message of truth to a lost world. To
withstand the fiery trials, they had to be convinced that they were in the
perfect will of God. Their being at a particular place at a given time was
because they had heard an angel of the Lord speak saying, "Arise and go
toward the south"; "Separate me, Barnabas and Saul"; "Preach not the word
in Asia"; "Go not into Bithynia, preach the gospel in Macedonia"; "Be not
afraid, hold not thy peace for I am with thee and no man shall hurt thee in this
city." These words of divine guidance were not just for those early
missionaries. It has been estab&#7077993;shed forever the truth of the Lord's promises,
"Lo I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world." Acts 16:9. One of
the greatest ex&#6357101;ples of the directing will of God was Paul's vision known as
THE MACEDO.NIAN CALL. This represented the initi&#6357100; move of the gospel
into Europe, which was the seat of political power. The Macedonian life was
representative of the corrupt state of that society, the loss of liberty, the
inte&#7077996;ectual failure of Greece. They were in need of help that could only come
through divine intervention. God commanded &#6357102;d God's ministers obeyed.
Ecclesiastes 3: 1 tells that to everything there is a season and a time to every
purpose under the heaven. When Paul and Silas were traveling through
Phrygia and Galatia, they were forbidden of the Holy Ghost to preach the
Word in Asia. They traveled to Mysia and sent to Troas, where Paul received
his vision. ". . . There stood a man of Macedonia, and prayed him saying

MINUTES OF THE 68TH ANNUAL ASSEMBLY 127
Come &#7209006;ver into Macedonia, and help us." Acts 16:9. Immediately they went
to Macedonia with confidence that God had sent them, and no hardship could
turn them &#6684786;om their task. Because they were in the will of God, they began to
change the lives of the people they came in contact with. Have you ever
considered that two men can meet and from that moment the course of their
lives is changed? The eunuch of Ethiopia was traveling the road from
Jerusalem toward the G&#6357114;a desert, perhaps, on his way to Ethiopia. Phillip
was on the same road because the Lord moved upon him to go. Acts 8:29, 30.
How many of you can recall when the direction you were traveling changed
because someone obey&#6619236; God? Why is it that in one place the work prospers,
while in &#6357102;other efforts seem to bring no favorable results? Can we imagine
what the results of Paul's ministry would have been if he had gone to A.sia
instead of setting a straight course to Samathracia? His testimony would
have been quite different. It is difficult for us to see beyond our persecutions
and trials. When Paul.and Silas were languishing in prison for preaching the
gospel, I'm sure they wondered what glory God could gain from that. Because
they knew they were in God's will, songs and praise began to fill the prison,
and God shook the jail with an earthquake. Thus a wonderful testimony to
the whole city followed, and the lives of the jailer and his family were
changed. The signific&#6357102;t point seemed to be the absence of any wasted
motion. Their every move seemed to bring results. Undoubtedly, this was due
to their knowing and &#6684783;llowing the will of God. I am not saying that we wi&#7077996;
see an angel or a man from Macedonia saying, "Come over and help us," but
the call is still ringing. Lost humanity is still in need of help, and I am
convinced that just as s&#7667826;ely as He directed the workers of the early Church,
He will direct us in order to accomplish His divine purpose.

9:49 Invasion, The Inner Man-message by Edna Rye. Excerpts: Before
we can really excel in helping other souls, we n&#6619237;d an invasion of the Spirit.
Read II Corinthians 4:16. We give a lot of attention to the outward man. The
inner man is our spirit, and the outer man is our flesh. We must give the most
attention to the inner man. Some might have more than others, but we all can
have more of the Spirit of God. Let's be determined that the inner man &#7798889;ll be
strengthened and filled with the Spirit of God that we might excel in our
mission work in reaching other souls. Related incidents in Isaiah 6. When
Isaiah saw the King, the Lord of Hosts, he got an upward vision. We can
stand a greater upward vision. We all want to see the King in His beauty. We
may not see Him as Isaiah did, but we can see Him through the eyes of our
souls. When we look at the King of Kings in a greater measure, we will have
an inward vision that will cause us to see the inner man. We need men,
women, boys and girls with tongues of fire who will go to the lost world and
tell them about Jesus Christ and His power to save. Isaiah got an inward
vision, and then he got an outw&#6357106;d vision. He saw the world and heard the
Lord speaking, "Whom shall I send, and who &#7798889;ll go for us?" Isaiah was
ready to go, and he said, "Here am I; send me." Gideon lived in a critical
time. Israel had departed &#6684786;om the Lord and her enemies were invading. God
looked down and saw a farmer boy he could use. He had to get the inner man
fixed up first. God told Gideon that he was a mighty man of valor, but there
was something else. Thank God for our Church of God people, but we c&#6357102; all
have more of the Spirit of God, and get that inner man strengthened. God told
Gideon to tear down the idols in his father's yard. He feared his father, but he
feared God more. God helped Gideon as he relied upon God. He tore the idols
do&#7798894; in his father's yard, and then the i&#7209070;er man was fixed up. God used
Gideon as a great leader in Israel with only three hundred men. Job in his

MINUTES OF THE 68TH ANNUAL ASSEMBLY 129
search for God began to look to the right and to the left. Job 23:3; Job 42:5.
David saw the mighty handiwork of God, and he said, "When I consider the
heavens, the work of thy fingers, the moon and the stars, which thou hast
ordained; what is man?" Psalm 8:3, 4. What are we? Little creatures, but we
are God's representatives. You cost the blood of Jesus Christ Who died for a&#7077996;
the world. Job 42: 6. Job kept searching, and he found a place he hadn't found
before. Job 28:7. "There is a path which no fowl knoweth, and which the vt."
ture's eyes hath not s&#6619237;n." There is a place in God that none of us have
reached, but we are on our way to higher heights. God wants men and women
who &#14876885; be emptied of self and filled with the Sp&#7471314;t. Sometimes we pray for a
filling when we shot.'pray for an emptying. Job abhorred himself, and he
repented in dust and ashes, but he found a path. There are over three and one
half billion sot.'in this world for whom Christ died. PatF'experienced the in
vasion of the inner man be&#6684783;re he became the great light to the Gentiles. PatF'
found Christ on that dusty D&#6357101;ascus road. He conferred not with flesh and
blood, but he had a conference with God. He went into the Arabian Desert,
and he did some sot.'searching. He died out to Pat.'and became a great light,
and he was one of the world's greatest missionaries. God help us to have an
invasion of the Spirit to see the Lord, see ourselves and then the world. The
King of Kings is commanding us to find that man, woman, boy or girl. They
may be in the hospitals, in the gutter because of drugs, in the penitentiary but
our commission is to &#6684777;nd them. God help us as we go back to our &#6684777;elds of
labor to be filled with compassion and the Spirit of the living God. There is
too much of ourselves, and the world isn't looking for us. The cry of the world
is as it was when the Greeks came to Philip and said, "Sir, we wot.'see
Jesus." I want to win sotl'before Christ retu&#7471214;s in the clot'of glory to
catch away His own, don't you?
10:05 SotF' Searchers sang "Won't It Be WonderftF'There?"
10: 12 Invasion, The Community- message by Marie Scotton. Excerpts:
It seems some of our churches have stayed small too long. It may be just a
little easier to raise missionary money than to do missionary work. The
community is where our local church is. Invasion means to make ent&#7471225; into
for the purpose of conqtL'or victory. Too many of our communities have
been untouched. We need to go into our local communities and make entry for
the purpose of victory. If we go with the Word of God and His power, we can
expect nothing but victory. The only way we are going to have victo&#7471225; is by
being equipped with the Word of God and the power of the Holy Ghost. When
we fight against sin and Satan he is going to put up a fight. Jesus said,
"Greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world." I John 4:4. General
Patton, &#6684783;rmer General of the First Division of the American Army said,
"Nothing must delay or stop the First Division." Nothing must delay or stop
the Church of God. We must go against all opposition, because Christ said the
gates of hell shall not prevail against His Church. If we go forth with that

130 MINUTES OF THE 68TH ANNUAL ASSEMBLY
thought nothing will stop us. We can invade our communities and get the
victory. Romans 13:12. Don't you feel that the &#7209065;ght is far spent and that the
day is at hand for us to invade our communities in a greater ef&#6684783;rt than ever?
There are areas within our localities that we have not even trampled upon.
They don't even know about Christ, much less His Church. They may have
heard of Christ, but they don't really know Him in the power of His resurrec
tion. The Bible tells of the conquest of Canaan, and Joshua, who had been
closely associat&#6619236; with Moses since Israel had been delivered &#6684786;om Egypt,
was divinely chosen. He had the qualities of an ideal soldier. God is looking
for an ideal soldier, who will put up with hardships; who will suffer if
necessary. We are going to have to do this to invade our local communities.
Joshua assumed the leadership of Israel with courage and he was brave. We
need to be brave and declare the Word of God without fear. Joshua conquered
Canaan with unfaltering faith in God. He had rigid obedience to God's
command. He was a&#6684786;aid of no man and a genius in military strategy. Joshua
1:5b. We can say as Joshua, God is with us if we take Him with us. The
&#6684783;rmer General Overseer said that there is more in you, put it in operation for
the Church of God. Joshua 1: 9. Let us be strong realizing that God is with us,
and He wi&#7077996; never leave us nor forsake us.
10:26 Testimony and prayer by Isabel Pacheco, Peru.

10:43 Frank How&#6357106;d prayed.
10:45 The Spirit of Invasion-message by Elva How&#6357106;d. Exce&#7471216;ts:
Joshua 14:7-12. Numbers 13:30. The spirit of invasion causes one to desire to
possess or to invade. Moses pied for God to pardon Israel. God told Moses He
would pardon them and continue to confirm His Word. ''But as t&#7471221;ly as I live,
all the e&#6357106;th shall be fill&#6619236; with the glory of the Lord." Numbers 14:21. All the
while, God desired that the earth be filled with His glory. They had turned
back; they had tempted God. When God made this magnificent statement,
He made a separation as told in Numbers 14:23-29. They would not see the
promised land, because they didn't have the same spirit with Caleb. They
were not willing &#7602287; go and possess the land. They thought they were too weak.
Caleb said, "We're well able to possess it." Caleb was blessed with the spirit
to fully follow the.Lord. The Israelites had the spirit to stay in the wilde&#7471214;ess
and eat the manna God provided, where there were no enemies to overthrow;
no walled cities to invade. It was a continuous cycle of observance of Holy
Days; a short jou&#7471214;ey now and then; always manna and a leader to bl&#6357101;e
when things didn't suit them. I don't want us to have the spirit of Israel, but
we need the spirit of Joshua. We keep Holy Days; go to district, state and

MINUTES OF THE &#3539000;TH ANNUAL ASSEMBLY 131
ministers conventions and assemblies. We shout and eat the spiritual manna,
but we need not be satisfied. We need the spirit of Caleb to conquer the land
promised by God. We are far behind because we don't take hold of the
promise of God. It was the spirit to go forward that kept Caleb's bones from
bleaching in the wilde&#7471214;ess. Moses and everyone else from twenty years old
and upward died. Joshua was in command of the process of possessing
Canaan's land. Joshua 1:3; Joshua 14:6-12. There are plenty sitting around
who make the hearts of our people melt, but we need to wholly &#6684783;llow the
Lord. Moses said that surely the land whereon the soles of thy f&#6619237;t shall trod
shall be thine inheritance. The Lord has kept me alive, but the people who
grumbled and complained, their bones are bleaching in the wilde&#7471214;ess. Caleb
said we can do it by us fully following the Lord. If people are going to come
they are going to have to work. Caleb felt that God could give him a
mounta&#6881390;, and that is the spirit of invasion. The area that Caleb wanted was
inhabited by giants. During those forty days that Joshua and C&#6357100;eb had been
in Cannan spying, Caleb set foot on the land of the giants. He saw the fruit of
their land; he &#7012462;ew God would &#6684777;ght for him, and he knew according to the
Word of God that their defense would be weakened. Moses had promised him
the land whereon he had walked. He believed God wanted Israel to have that
mounta&#6881390;.
God wants the Church in all the world; if we ever put it there, we've got to
have the invasion spirit. There is a world out there that God wants His
Church to possess. We can't do it by remaining in the same place and doing
the s&#6357101;e things for the same people. Deuteronomy 2:2, 3. I don't know how
many times the children of Israel went around Mt. Seir, or how many
ministers' conventions they went to, or how many ladies aid they had, or how
many district conventions they had; but they just kept going around the
same mountain. It is time to move on. We are going to have to get into new
vistas. We preach a world-wide doctrine and don't do anything about our
community. We preach loving the world and can't stand our next door
neighbor nor the young people in our local church. Sometimes it seems that
we enjoy the "around the mountain" experience. There are two predominant
spirits that will promote the Church if used properly-the spirit of in&#6684780;ow and
the spirit of missions. The spirit of inflow is the coming together which will
work on God's children in the world to bring them into one fold-the "come
ye" spirit. Jeremiah 50:5. The spirit of missions is the spirit of "go ye." The
spirit of the inflow works outside the Church to bring them in. The spirit of
missions works in here to go out there. That is the spirit of inva&#7536745;on. The early
Church had it. The promise still remains, every place the sol&#6619251; of your feet
shall tread. It makes me feel uneasy when I see the spirit of the inflow
working on us. It makes us lazy about building church buildings. God never
gave a lazy man anything, and He is not going to give a lazy church any
thing. There is much said about the third generation in the field of religion.
Students of theology and religion say that a religion cannot stand through the

132 MINUTES OF THE &#3539000;TH ANNUAL ASSEMBLY
third generation. They mean that the &#6684777;rst generation was the founder; they
were fervent, zealous &#6357102;d sacrificing to promulgate their faith. The s&#6619235;ond
generation carries on in the shadow of the first. They remember the forebear
ance and faith of the founding fathers. The third generation knows only from
the first generation what they glean &#6684786;om the second generation. This new
faith falters and folds in their hands. This was not true of Israel. N&#7667821;bers
14:31. Those who had been babes in arms the day God tu&#7471214;ed Israel back into
the wilderness grew up and became the leaders in Joshua's invasion m&#6357106;ch.
The Last Days Church is moving into the third generation from the Arise
Shine. Will they carry it forth strong, or will it crumble? From my experiences
on the mission field, I think they will do it. I have watched in this Assembly. I
have been so stirred about the zeal of our young people. I believe the third
generation will give the General Overseer and the General Church a great
amount of loyalty. We are on the invasion march. In the orientation for the
1973 Youth Mission Teams, the spirit of invasion worked. Thirteen colonies
wanted their independence from England. It apparently looked impossible,
but the spirit carried them to victory. We can do &#6357102;ything through God. How
could the colonies win when a&#7077996; the odds were against them? England was
&#6684777;ghting with hired soldiers to hold the land. Very few came from the
homeland. The soldiers had nothing to gain but a pay check. The colonists
were fighting for a cause. They envisioned their land on which to form a
nation. We are talking about a world invasion for the Church of God. The
Scripture tells us it will happen-not by someone else in our places, but by
possessing the ground where we are standing. We are &#6684777;ghting for a cause, so
let us stop going around the mountain and go northward. God's promises are
only realized by those who reach out and take hold of them. The world is ours;
let's possess it for the Church of God.
11:30 Music by Wildwood Brass Band as the members of 1973 Youth
Mission, YES and AIM Teams went to platform. Volunteers with a spirit of
missions joined the Teams in carrying pennant signs bearing the names of
countries. Eighty-seven young people marched around platfrom, and they
yelled, "Look out world, here we come with the Church of God."

1:45 Advance-message by Darel Lee Talbott. Excerpts: Philipians 3: 1.
Advance means to move forward or make progress; to help hasten the success
or completion; to improve or develop. It is time for our Sunday Schools to
make greater progress. I believe the auxiliaries were placed in the Church as
helps &#6357102;d gove&#7471214;ments as outlined by the Word. I like to believe that the
Sunday School is one of the governments to help in the completion of the last
days Church of God. Nature of man is to be apprehensive to anything that
upsets his mode. We get in a channel, and we can't change. We in the Church

134 MINUTES OF THE 68TH ANNUAL ASSEMBLY
of God need to be flexible, workable, and useable to the power of the Holy
Ghost. If we advance, we will have to make some changes. I'm not satisfied
with the Church of God staying just like it is. I have a vision of something
greater, but I'm not calling for doctrinal changes. I believe the teachings that
we have taken &#6684786;om the Word of God are sufficient for our needs. If God
wants us to have more, He will take care of that. We need direction of
methods and techniques. A hindrance to advancement are the obstacles which
we con&#6684786;ont. Negative attitudes are major obstacles. Don't be satisfied with
the s&#6357101;e number. I dream of churches with thr&#6619237; to five hundred in Sunday
School. All things are possible with God. Another obstacle is our inability to
teach. Teachers, if we will get stirred, we can do something about having the
ability to teach. Much of this is due to our unpreparedness-spiritually and
materially. Lack of fa&#6488169;lities often create obstacles to sound growth-ill
equipped rooms, poor lighting and ventilation, or the absence of classrooms.
The fourth obstacle is our failure to recognize the potential for growth
through the teaching ministry. It is estimated that 80 per cent of people in the
Church have been won through the Sunday School. Let us realize this
potenti&#6357100; to build the local church. Where there is no vision the p&#6619247;ple perish.
If you have no vision for gain and a feeling of apathy has gripped you, you
wi&#7077996; probably remain that way. The children of Israel had come out of Egypt
and God had performed many miracles in their behalf. They camped in the
wilderness of Paran and Moses sent spies into the land of Canaan. His
commission is in Numbers 13:17-33. Notice how many times Moses pointed
out the land to them. It was time for the first ripe grapes, which meant that it
was h&#7471319;est time in Canaan.
We need to lift up our eyes and look at the land and the people who dwell
therein. We need to send some spies and see if there are some grapes ready for
harvest. The spies went and after &#6684783;rty days, twelve men brought back what
Congress would call a majority and minority report. Ten reported seeing
giants, and it was the land of the Hittites, Amalekites, Jebusites, and
Amorites. They feared going into a land of strangers who were stong. Further
negative attitudes gripped them that became obstacles l&#6357106;ger than the giants.
They reported the great city of war had massive iron gates and walls. They
were already looking at the facilities, forgetting that God had brought them
out of the land of Egypt and the miracles He had wrought. God had a man
who was not concerned about age. He was eighty-five years of age, but he was
ready to advance into Canaan's Land. He sought no favors, demanding
nothing of his leader save the right to go into battle and win the victory.
Caleb didn't say, let G&#6619247;rge do it. He cl&#6357097;med it as his right by promise to
drive out every one of the giants and take possession of the land. Caleb was a
conqueror; a man of advancement. There is a saying, "Young men for battle,
old men for counsel." This did not apply to Caleb, for he had learned the
secret of maintaining spiritual youthfulness. To keep youthful, Caleb must
have had a reservoir of life, and that life was in God. He had a telescopic view

MINUTES OF THE &#3539000;TH ANNUAL ASSEMBLY 135
of the future and found his pleasure in serving God. Sometimes I wonder if we
in the Church get so concerned about what we are having to do when the
superintendent or pastor asks us to go out and knock on doors, we stay at
home because we have lost our pleasure in serving the Lord. People who
twiddle their fingers are those who murmur and complain and have lost the
joy. Caleb was like Paul, and he was looking to the author and &#6684777;nisher of his
faith. He stated, "Let us go up at once, and possess it; for we are well able to
overcome it." The men who went with Caleb said that we are not able, and
they concocted an evil, slanderous report. Verse 33: "And there we saw the
giants, the sons of Anak, which come of the giants: and we were in our own
sight as grasshoppers, and so we were in their sight." We don't need the
grasshopper spirit in the Church. Paul said, "I can do all things through
Christ which strengtheneth me." If we look in our sight as grasshoppers, we
are not going to reach many. If we &#7798889;ll remember that we have taken a
covenant; that we are blood-washed Christians and that God is going before
us to prepare the way in Canaan's land, we won't look like grasshoppers. Let
us not forget that we are God's covenanted people-the Bride of Christ.
Those who murmured among the Israelites died with a plague. Joshua and
Caleb &#7077993;ved because they had faith and a vision. They were looking beyond
obstacles with the memory of the miracles of what God had done and what He
had promised in the future. It is time to look up. We are aw&#6357106;e that in the last
days perilous times are upon us. We are going to have to have the
determination that Caleb and Joshua had. We cannot have less vision and
determination if the S&#7667822;day Schools grow. Let it be said of us as it was of
Caleb that he had another spirit. Many p&#6619247;ple are getting filled with the Holy
Ghost. I believe the Church of God has another spirit. If we wi&#7077996; get that spirit
operating to its fullest, we will &#7798889;n more people to the Sunday School, to the
Church, and to the Lord. Big achievements are never easy, but victories must
be won. To be more than a conqueror· is not just to conquer. It is to snatch
victory out of defeat and to walk in the very &#6684777;re that would destroy us. It
takes a person who will be conqueror to snatch victory out of the hands of the
devil, who would defeat him, and and dare to w&#6357100;k with God into the fire that
would destroy the victory. Caleb waited a long time for his ch&#6357102;ce. Let us
possess the Spirit of the Lord in our ciasses and in our teaching. His time to
put down the giants and possess the lands for our Sunday Schools and the
Church. Our potentials and instruments of war are great. There are Vacation
Bible Schools, Children's Church, the bus ministry, week-day Bible Studies,
the cradle roll, home extension, and the Sunday morning class hour. God is
going to be with us, and we need to move forward. The hour in which we live
demands immediate invasion of the land to reach the people. (State
Secretaries led in a concert prayer.)

2:28 Developing Our Natural Resources-message by Bessie Henshaw.

136 MINUTES OF THE 68TH ANNUAL ASSEMBLY
Excerpts: Natural is pertaining to Nat&#7667826;e, or something that was built at the
time of creation. God created the world into vast deposits of coal, a great
&#6357101;ount of oil, and He caused mighty forests to grow. O&#7667826; resource is
available property resorted to for aid in time of need. After God created the
world, He created man to develop the resources. He did not give man gaso&#7077993;ne
by the gallon nor lumber by the &#6684783;ot. It has been said that this or that nation
is wealthy because of its natural resources, but it really becomes wealthy
when it develop&#6619251; its resources. No other way can a nation properly care for
its people. Let us consider the natural resources of the Holy Nation. Genesis
1:27, 28. God knew that Adam and Eve would not do all the replenishing and
all the subduing, but He knew that their children and their children would
replenish and subdue the earth-not for the glory of man but for the glory of
God.
A nation must recogn&#6881402;e its natural resources before it can develop them.
Children are the natural resources of the Holy Nation. We are responsible to
develop the natural reso&#7667826;ces that He would be glorified. Psalm 127:3. Our
children properly developed will multiply and subdue the nation, who will
subdue the enemy. Many nations are destitute because they have not
develop&#6619236; their natural resources. They are unable to feed, clothe, or protect
their p&#6619247;ple from the natural elements that would destroy life. The Holy
Nation is suffering and is unable to perform its duties in its fullness because
of the ret&#6357106;ded development of its natural resources. Children are the natural
resources that God has given us to develop. Some people have an idea that
building a large building is a great development. It will never feed, clothe nor
prot&#6619235;t the Holy Nation. The inte&#7471214;al development of the people will protect
and glorify God's Church. Many places are a&#7077997;ost destitute for Sunday
School teachers, band leaders, pastors. We have failed to develop the natural
resources. You and I have worked for years on the job expecting to finish the
program of God, but it is the development of o&#7667826; natural resources that will
edify and build up the Holy Nation. A nation cannot reglect the development
of its natural reso&#7667826;ces and be great. It is time to develop our natural
resources so we will have something to draw on to build and glori&#6684793; this
Church. Samuel needed guidance, even though he had been dedicated,
He was not ready to fulfill his service to the Lord. When he was left in the
temple &#7798889;th the old priest and heard the voice of God, he had to be de
veloped to he&#6357106; God and to know His Spirit. Do you know what spirit is
talking to you? God is still calling boys and girls. They need to be instructed
and developed so they will answer the call of God. This idea that they must
sow their wild oats, and must taste the world is unscriptural. Children's
church is not trying to show what good government will do, nor what great
activity will do for the children. It is presenting Jesus Christ on their level of
understanding. Jesus said to do it this way, and until we develop our natural
resources the way that Jesus said to we will stand as a destitute nation. The
Bible says that all who believe on the name of the Lord Jesus Christ should be

MINUTES OF THE &#3539000;TH ANNUAL ASSEMBLY 137
saved. It didn't put an age limit. I believe it is easier for children to &#6684777;nd the
Lord b&#6619235;ause their hearts are not overcharged with the desire for worldly
things, nor are they encumber&#6619236; with the cares of life, and they need to know
God. The Word says that all thy children shall be taught of the Lord and
great shall be the peace of thy children. Good government and good
activities will not give spiritu&#6357100; food; it will not clothe them spiritually,
neither will it protect them from the natural elements that desire to destroy
them. The power of Ch&#7471209;st is in His message-in His Word is saving and
overcoming power for whosoever would believe in Him. Some say that
children don't keep their experiences. Some adults don't keep their
experiences. Generally the reason a child fails is because he does not receive
nourishment which he can digest. A baby in the natural is bo&#7471214; with a desire
for food, and he will die without it. Read I Peter 2:2. When a baby is born,
God plants something in his heart to make that soul want to worship his
Maker. He will die if he doesn't get spiritual food. Food is prepared for the
natural child the way he can take it. Our children will develop into strong
Christians when they are fed food they can handle. We need able ministers to
assist in perfecting the Body of Christ. Read II Peter 1:2. As children gain
knowledge of the Lord their peace and grace is multiplied. They are
overcomers and great workers for the Lord. Let us develop our natural
resources and fulfill the words of Isaiah when he said, that they shall call
them the Holy Nation and redeemed of the Lord, and they shall be called,
sought out, a city not forsaken. A city that will feed, clothe, and protect its
people from the elements that would destroy-in other words a healthy nation
because it developed its natural resources.

3:02 Opportunities for Advancement Through the Bus Ministry-C. E.
Hyatt. Comments: There is opportunity for advancement through the bus
ministry. When we began this, our average attendance was between 85 and
95. This past month our average attendance was 184. We have two 60-
passenger buses and planning to buy another one. You will waste money if all
you are thinking about is buying a bus. You have to invite people to ride. This
works better than anything else I have tried of getting people to go to Sunday
School. Go from house to house. The type of people in the area is the kind you
will get in your Sunday School. The age group who will ride the bus is &#6684786;om 6
to 14 years. In our area most of the people are Catholics. We tell the parents
that we are from the Church of God of Prophecy and our bus passes by your
house. I notice you have children, and would you allow them to come to our
Sunday School and Children's Church?

all who assisted and encouraged everyone to save coupons and stamps. He
introduced the houseparents; the girls and boys of the homes told their names
and ages. Two songs by the children of the homes. Forty-seven Tomlinson
College Students formed a Brothers and Sisters Club and planned activities
&#6684783;r the children in the homes. Marie Wilson was president for the club, and

"All Over The World The Spirit Is Falling." Superintendent requested all
who had been reared in the homes to come to platform with their families. The
Board of Directors of the Tomlinson Home for Children gave $10,000
Scholarship fund to the President of Tomlinson College, who accepted
gratefully. David Kim told of the Korean Home where one hundred and fifty

Bill Akers spoke conce&#7471214;ing Making The Church Known In Tennessee.
Comments: Isaiah prophesied that the Church would be full of the knowledge
of the Lord as the waters cover the sea. Habakkuk prophesied, "For the earth

140 MINUTES OF THE 68TH ANNUAL ASSEMBLY
shall be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the LORD, as the waters
cover the sea." Jesus said, "Ye are the salt of the earth." That means we are
the salt of Tennessee; we are the light of the world. We must take advantage
of every means available to make the Church known: the news media offer
public. service spots; serve as hospital and institutional chaplains; join local
ministerial groups; coffee house ministry; volunteer work at hospitals; visit
schools and business establishments. Ephesians 3:8, 9. Paul is saying that it
is not only my calling to preach, but I must make known to all men about the
Church of God in these last days. Acts 13:49. When the Word of God is
published and we expose the truth to p&#6619247;ple, they will come because this is
the Church of God. Our commission is to make &#6357100;l men know that this is the
Body of Christ-the Church of God.
Michael Hopkins spoke on Making The Church Known in Ohio. Comments:
Every time the early Church went into a new town, the whole town knew it.
Paul went to someone's house, and the owner had people gathered there. Paul
preached, and the people gathered there. Paul preached, and the people were
saved and joined the Church. Why can't we do it in the last days Church?
Have you every bought a product that was not advertised? A manufacturer
must let people know that his product is on the market, and it is the same way
with the Church of God. We must advertise a revival; a sign in front of the
church, pass out printed material, advertise all of our activities at the local
church; personWx'visitation; local ch&#7667826;ch public relations director.
The Benny Finlayson, Jr. Family sang. Tom Cowart told of Making the
Church Known in South Carolina. Comments: Psalm 68:11. Acts tells on the
day of Pentecost that men were there from all over the world to carry the news
that the Comforter had come. Of the twelve Apostles, Matthew, Mark, and
John were information specialists. They took the Church message the best
possible way for that time. Let us use every means of communication
regardless of cost. Our real target should be those outside the Church. We are
encouraging full-time ministers; 31 stations in South Carolina air the Voice of
Salvation; monthly statements were mailed to those who promised to
contribute; also promoted the Broadcast Record Club. Song by Dave S&#6357106;tin
Singers.
8:25 Servicemen's Progr&#6357101;, directed by William H. Brooks,

9:12 A Mighty Spiritual Awakening-message by William H. Brooks.
Excerpts: Malachi 3:1; Isaiah 70:3. I don't believe the Church is dead. It is
the most spiritual thing on earth. We need a great spi&#7471209;tual awakening to
encourage us to action in a greater way and at a more rapid sp&#6619237;d. The whole
world has not yet been evangelized. We have the right program and God
behind us to get it done. A few things may speed us up, but the Holy Ghost
will move us to action. The Messiah in speaking to the prophets Malachi and
Isaiah said, "I will send my messenger." In that day when a king was to enter
a city, a messenger was sent to tell of his coming. Christ chose John the
Baptist to prepare the way for His coming. We are the foreru&#7209070;ers of the
second coming of Christ and the establishment of His kingdom upon the
earth. We need the same spirit that John had when he preached in Palestine.
From the last prophets until John there had been no great spiritual stir upon
the earth. The Law and the prophets were until John; John preached the
Kingdom of God. There was a change in message, but John came in the Spirit
and power of E&#7077993;as to turn millions of the children of Israel unto the Lord. He
rocked the Palace of Palestine; he prepared the way for the Lord and many
turned to God. John informed his followers that Christ must increase and I
must decrease. Jesus preached and walked the shores of Galilee and
performed many signs and wonders. Before Christ left, He organized His
Church and gave the commission to go into all the world and preach the
gospel unto every creature. Related incidents from Acts 1 and 2. Everywhere
the disciples went they preached, God working with them and confirming the
Word with signs following. They fulfilled the commission, and the Church
plunged into the Dark Ages.
This side of the Dark Ages, other men prepar&#6619236; the way of God's coming:
Robert McShe&#6357102; shook Scotland by preaching the Word of God; Richard
Baxter shook England by preaching the Word of God. In 1857, most of the
banks in New York closed; commercial houses went down with a crash and
anxiety swept this country. Fire stations and theatres were opened &#6684783;r
religious services; the James Hall noon prayer meeting was established.
Philadelphia heard about the prayer meeting and telegraphed greetings to
New York. The answer was printed in the mo&#7471214;ing paper-400,000 entered
the Kingdom of God. Near the beginning of the 1900's another great spiritual
awakening shook part of this country, which later resulted in the organization
of the Church this side of the Dark Ages. The gospel swept several states and
thousands entered the kingdom of God, and many were added to the Church

142 MINUTES OF THE &#3539000;TH ANNUAL ASSEMBLY
of God. It is time that you and I get down on our knees and talk to God until
we shake the glory world and cause revivals. I am tired of mediocre meetings
with half-way preaching and anointing. I want God to shake this country with
the moving of the Word of God. Ephesians 5:14. "Awake thou that sleepest
and arise from the dead, and Christ shall give thee light." The Church at
Ep&#2556008;esus was asleep, but Patt'felt that God's Word wott EI'them up and
stir them to action. I wot.'like to hear the stringed instrtI'the
cymbals, the drums, and the trumpets in the Church of God. Does not Joel say
"Blow ye the trumpet in Zion"? Like Jacob of old, we need a momentt'
reached in an all-night prayer meeting wrestling with God. These lost sot.'
are like houses aflame with no ladder to escape, or like ships going do&#7798894; with
no life boat. I wott'to God that He wott'blast us awake to these realities;
take us &#6684786;om the couches of ease and hurl us to the front of the battle. I wott'
that God with a torch would set all the pt.'in the Church of God on fire.
God answers prayer. Hezekiah's life was lengthened fifteen years; Elijah
prayed down great rain; the Apostle James' knees were calloused by much
prayer. Remember the time you needed Christ and got on your knees and
stayed until God answered, or when your child was sick and you stay&#6619236; on
your kn&#6619237;s until your child recovered? Paul advised us to give ourselves living
sacrifices, wholly acceptable unto God which is our reasonable service. When
we have awakened, made proper sacri&#6684777;ces, and prayed the prayer of faith,
only then can we teach, preach and publish the gospel with enthusiasm to
reach lost sott'The Spirit of God is moving in the Church and in the world.

9:00 Message by C. T. Davidson, Church Historian. Excerpts: The Lord
established His Church and left it in the hands of the Apostles and He went to
glory and expected the Apostles to reach the whole world. They were unable
to reach the whole world in those days, although Pat.'said in I Corinthians
10:11 that the ends of the world were upon my shot.I'so to speak. The
Church disappe&#6357106;ed from view about 1,578 years before it reappeared. Other
people did their best to reach others with the message. Praise the Lord &#6684783;r

MINUTES OF THE &#3539000;TH ANNUAL ASSEMBLY 143
justification by faith found by Martin Luther. John Wesley appeared
preaching on sanctification, the second definite work of grace. G&#6619247;rge Fox
established the Friends Church in 1647. He did a wonderful work. He
preached reli&#6750313;ous &#6684786;eedom, and he taught that women could enjoy this as
well as men. W. J. Seymour landed in Los Angeles and stitred that area
because of the Baptism of the Holy Ghost. Almost ten years before that, in
Cherokee County, North Carolina, more than one hundred were baptized with
the Holy Ghost and &#6684777;re. Then A. J. Tomlinson found the Church of God in
the Fields of the Wood. Some people say it was found before that. The Church
of God is what we are interested in promoting. Ephesians 4:11-15. These
phases of the work have been i&#7077996;ustrated during this Assembly. Ephesi&#6357102;s
3:9, 10. We haven't reached all of it yet, but we are on our way. The complete
wisdom of God will be known by the Church. The outreach among our youth
is a stimulant to the Church. We can't remain true and loyal to any p&#7471333;ose
unless we see something that will challenge our souls, and we are moved by
the Spirit of the Lord. It takes the power of the Spirit of God to move us.
The ministry is given for the perfecting of the saints. No Scripture says that
He gave the members for the perfection of the ministry. Sometimes things may
touch us a little, but thank the Lord and go on. Ministers, we need to be in
condition where we can counsel the membership of the Church. The dignity of
the ministry n&#6619237;ds to be hoisted and enhanced because of the presence and the
power of God. Our ministers have a great responsibility of moving on to
perfection. Paul said in Hebrews 6: 1, "Let us go on to perfection; not laying
again the foundation of repentance from dead works, and of faith toward
God." Unfortunately some p&#6619247;ple don't get involved deep enough in the
spiritual life that they are able to stand. Maybe you or I have fa&#6881388;ed
sometimes to help somebody. As we end this final race &#6684783;r God and His
Church, we need to be able to counsel people in the spiritual life that they
might combat the spirit of the world. We have a specific challenge to move to
perfection. It is handed to us, we are different from other people, and we can't
be like other people. Others will come to see what our worship services are
like. If our se&#7471222;ices are the s&#6357101;e type they left, they won't see much. The
Public Relations Program thrilled me when literature was mentioned.
Publishing is a part of the ministry. I believe we are entering into the world
revival that will shake the whole world. Be a Church of God man or woman
wherever you are. We are in this for God and let's do our best, because He
said that the ends of the world are upon our shoulders. Anywhere there is a
soul that doesn't know about the Church of God, he needs to know about it.
We need to remember that the ministry was given for the perfection of the
saints. Accurate records should be kept of all the local churches, report to
your State Overseer and to Headquarters. Ministers, God set the ministry in
the Church &#6684783;r the perfecting of the saints. You have a tremendous
responsibility. The General Overseer may make changes, and it is the
prerogative of the State Overseer to change pastors when he feels like it.

144 MINUTES OF THE &#3539000;TH ANNUAL ASSEMBLY
There are Church of God people wherever we are. This is part of God's work,
and we are all in it together. The mani&#6684783;ld wisdom of God is going to be made
known to the Church. Let's stick together and watch the Church move.

Report of Field Secretary

To the 68th Annual Assembly of the Church of God, Greetings:
It has indeed b&#6619237;n a great honor to serve God and His Church in this
&#6488161;pacity. The Lord has b&#6619237;n so wonder&#6684789;l to me &#6357102;d I never cease to marv&#6619244; at
the mighty workings of the Holy Ghost in His Church.
In addition to my duties as General Field Secretary, I have also se&#7471222;ed as
Overseer in the Dominican Republic since November 21, 1972 to this date. I
thank the Lord for His help in this work.
It was a privilege for me to have accompanied the General Overseer to the
&#6684789;neral of Bishop J. H. Ladoo. The presence of the General Overseer at the
funeral of this great leader was appreciated by the Ladoo family; every
member of the Church in the Dominican Republic was encouraged with his
presence.
I have enjoyed the following activities in my work as Spanish Field
Secretary. I have attended the following conventions as Headqu&#6357106;ters

I thank the Lord for His great blessings. This year we have been able to win
for the Church, Russian people in Argentina, thus providing for His Church,
workers that will be useful when the Church enters beyond the Iron Curtain.
The possibility of a large number of an independent church joining the Church
of God is pretty sure.
This has been a wonderful year. Thank the Lord. I also thank each of the
Overseers for their hospitality and cooperation. I appreciate the Lord for the
opportunity to work in His Glorious Church.

missions will be convert&#6619236; into organized churches soon. I corresponded and
sent materials to workers on the &#6684777;eld to &#6357097;d the work.
New &#6684777;eld enthusiasm is increasing among our ministers. Some states are
striving to organize a mission in each district. According to in&#6684783;rmation I
have r&#6619235;eived, there has been approximately 81 missions organized this year;
&#6684786;om these missions, 10 have been converted into organized churches.
I prayed for the sick, prayed for requests and anointed h&#6357102;dkerchiefs
during the General Assembly in our new tabe&#7471214;acle. I performed two
marriages and assisted in thr&#6619237; funerals.
I have enjoyed my work for Christ and the Church, and I appreciate the
cooperation of everyone that has worked to help promote missions.

Volume One of our Church History is being released at this Sixty-Eighth
Assembly. To some it may seem like a long lapse of time, but to attempt to
explain this along with the voluminous efforts, research and prep&#6357106;ation
seems next to impossible. The writing of this Church History, the task
assigned me by the General Overseer at the Assembly in 1970, has resulted in
what I f&#6619237;l is one of the greatest and most conscientious assignments I have
had in a whole lifetime. If my res&#7340143;nse and approaches to this noble cha&#7077996;enge
prove to be successful then I shall be humbly grateful. If not, then I shall be
very greatly disappointed. Besides completing this Volume One of our Church

There is a tremendous move on effecting Christian people all over the
world. God's spirit seems to be motivating the other sheep to look for and
&#7667822;derst&#6357102;d God's plan. It has been our f&#6619237;ling that the Church of God must
be made known in a far greater way than at any time before.
This year the Public Relations Director has represented the Church at
&#6488175;nventions and meetings where this move of God was evidenced. It was
rewarding to share with these Christian people the message of Christ and His
Church.
I have visit&#6619236; Christian colleges and pen&#6357100; institutions introducing the
Church and the Happy Harvester; served Tomlinson College as Public
Relations Director, working very closely with President J. D. Wilkinson, Jr.,
in public relations proj&#6619235;ts; produced weekly radio broadcast, "News in the
World of Re&#7077993;gion"; produced regular monthly column in the White Wing
Messenger, "Religious News of the World"; appeared on television several
times introdu&#6488169;ng the world ministries of the Church.
I have visit&#6619236; radio &#6357102;d television station managers with regard to
scheduling the Voice of Salvation and the color television specials, "Worship
in the Outdoors," and "Youth Afl&#6357101;e." It is imperative that the Church be
made &#7012462;own and we must use every available means to spread the Church
message. It is to this end that we in the Public Relations Department of the
Church of God are dedicated.
I express personal appreciation to my competent secretary, Betty Talbott,
who has fulfill&#6619236; her responsibilities splendidly.

As WORLD LANGUAGE SECRETARY, I worked in the of&#6684777;ce 171 days,
supe&#7471222;ised the working staff, served as managing editor of the Spanish White
Wing Messenger, took care of the correspondence and other business in
connection with this of&#6684777;ce. The dedicated and capable assistance of the
translators, Margaret and Gabriel Montijo, Sr., E&#7471214;esto Reyes and Tony
Charal&#6357101;bou along with the o&#6684879;ce secretaries, Phyllis Watson and Diann
Stewart have b&#6619237;n invaluable to the World Language Department.
As SERVICEMEN'S REPRESENTATIVE, I attended the graduation
exercise of Chaplains Douglas Stephenson and Ronald Crews. Later I visited
Chaplain Stephenson at Ft. Leonard Wood, Mo. where I preached at his
chapel and showed slides on missions. I moderated the Servicemen's Retreat
at Berchesgaden, Germany and later had a lunch&#6619247;n with the servicemen who
attended the Cleveland Bible &#5505138;aining Institute. I visited and was in worship
service with servicemen in Germany, Thailand, Taiwan, Korea, Okinawa,
Guam, Hawaii and Alaska; sent monthly newsletters to approximately 1,000
servicemen and women and gave personal attention to their many letters. The
dedicated assistance of Sister Roberta Matthews is certainly an asset to the
Servicemen's Department.
My association, fellowship and work with the servicemen has b&#6619237;n an
enjoyable expe&#7471209;ence. I only trust I have been an inspiration and have
encouraged several to become active in witnessing and opening new missions
for Christ and His Church.
My work and travels in conn&#6619235;tion with both departments took me into 8
countries, 11 states and 21 local churches. Along with my duties, I served as
Overseer of Ge&#7471213;any and moderated a Fishers of Men Crusade, a Youth
Mission Crusade, the National Convention and took care of co&#7471218;espondence
with the help of my office staff. I also served on the following committees:
Tomlinson Home for Children, World Mission and Editorial Committ&#6619237; &#6684783;r
Doctrine. It has been an enjoyable and educational year for me. Many thanks
to the Lord and all the good Church &#6684783;lks on the field.

World Mission Committee Report
To the 68th Annual Assembly of the Church of God, Greetings:
The "Great Commission" is still the predominant factor in our mission

us for distribution.

&#6750322;owth.
The total offerings collected were $180,771.60, an increase of $42,037.75
over 1971�72.
The World Mission Committee wishes to th&#6357102;k every local church and

As World Mission Secretary, I have visited 29 countries and 6 states on
behalf of the work. Much of this travel has been to take care of business
connected with the Ch&#7667826;ch in the areas where we have work. Also, I have
made some preliminary visits to prospective new fields. I've also attended
several Ministers and National Conventions.
Each month I've prepared a letter to each Overseer and answered the
regular correspondence. Messages have been prepared for each Mission Cry
plus promotional material for the March and October World Mission Drive.
I've se&#7471222;ed as Committeeman on the World Mission Committee, Ministerial
Aid Committee, B.T.I. Committee and Ch&#6357097;rman of the Youth Mission
Board.
The demands of the work of this Department would not be met without the
untiring efforts of my private secretary and office manager, Nellie Walker,
and the other workers in the Mission Office: Vera Herring, Cheryl Malone,
Olfa Reyes, Linda Martinez, and Jean Vital He&#7471214;e. I also wish to express my
appreciation for the faithful work of the Mission Representatives, Adrian
Varlack, Jose Reyes, and C. C. Shiakallis.

I have traveled thousands of miles on behalf of the Mission work, t&#6357099;ing
care of business &#6684783;r the Church, while teaching and instructing as much as
possible. All correspondence related to this office has been answered and
many of the problems involved in doing world-&#7798889;de business for the Church
has been satisfactorily concluded. God's guiding hand has b&#6619237;n evident,
piloting me sa&#6684773;ly through the past year &#6357102;d I am very &#6750322;ateful.
Thanks to our General Overs&#6619237;r, the World Mission Secretary, the staff of
the World Mission Department, and to the General workers and numerous
others of the Church who so willingly gave me advice and assisted us (my
family and I) in getting settled in Cleveland. Because of such love and
dedication, my work was not hindered in any way.
My sincere appreciation to my fine wife, Janice, who contributed so much
to my ministry by so ably being all things to our family d&#7667826;ing my sometimes
extended absences, and supporting me with her prayers.

I attended 9 National Conventions and seven Ministers Conventions; and
taught in Bible Training Institute in Puerto Rico and El Salvador. I served as
evangelist for the Mission Crusade in Puerto Rico. In coordination with the
World Mission Committee and National Overseers, I worked in the
preparation of legal documents called "juridical personality" with the
purpose of registering the Church in the local governments of Latin
America. This year we have finished the proper registration of the Church in
the following countries: Mexico, Guatemala, El Salvador, Nicaragua, Costa
Rica, Panama, Brazil and Colombia. The proper registration of the Church in
the gove&#7209183;ent is very important for the right transaction of business and for
securing the properties for the Church.
I served this year as Spanish Communication Minister and with the help of
my wife prepared the program format and recorded the program for the
Spanish Voice of Salvation.
I have maintained contact with all the National Communication Directors,
and also wrote and visited many radio stations in behalf of the work. We also
prepared material to boost the radio work in the Spanish churches. Actually
we are broadcasting the Spanish program in 58 radio stations in Latin
America. Through the Spanish Voice of Salvation we distributed 1106 units of
the Body of Christ correspondence course and certificates were issued to 75
persons. The majority of the Spanish Voice of Salvation mail came from
people outside the Church. We have received numerous testimonies of salva
tion and healing. All Voice of Salvation correspondence was answered. The
Spanish broadcast totaled 2784. The radio program has been a great blessing
to the Church work in Latin America. I attended the National Religious
Broadcasters Convention.
In addition to my duties and functions as Spanish Mission Representative
and Spanish Radio Minister, I served this year as overseer for the country of
Colombia, S.A.
In my office we also did the following translation work: 33 letters and 40
radio messages.
I appreciated the help of my wife who has been a blessing to my ministry.
She had also served as announcer and script writer for the radio program. I
would like to express my appreciation to Linda Martinez who has served in a

I visited our Greek work in Australia where special meetings were held and
also a Greek convention. I also visited the Greek Church in Toronto for
special meetings.
I attended the Conventions in Cyprus and Greece and visited the work in
Turkey. Continued prayer is requested for our work in these countries.
I keep publishing the Greek quarterly magazine "Messenger of Truth" and
this year we have printed nine different tracts on some of the important
teachings of the Church.
There is a great need for dedicated workers among the Greek p&#6619247;ple and we
covet your earnest prayers for God's intervention in sending out labo&#7667826;ers
into His havest field.
One of our ministers, Brother George Kaisharis has come to the states to
work among the Greeks here in this country. Let us pray that the Lord will
use him for His glory.

166 MINUTES OF THE 68TH ANNUAL ASSEMBLY
Questions and Subjects Committee Report
Greetings to the 68th Annual Assembly of the Church of God of Prophecy.
We, your Questions and Subjects Committee, after much prayer and
c&#6357106;eful consideration, wish to submit the following report:
SECTION 1
Whereas Bishop M. T. Linkous has served faithfully as a member and
chairman of this Questions and Subjects Committee until his appointment as
General A.B.M. Secretary we wish to express our appreciation to him for his
inv&#6357100;uable service to the Church of God while se&#7471222;ing on this committee. His
smile, good spirit and words of wisdom are missed in our committee meetings.
May God continue to bless Brother Linkous in all his work is our sincere
prayer.
SECTION2
Bishop Herman E. Dean has served faithfully as a member of the Questions
&#6357102;d Subjects Committ&#6619237; for many years. He won the admiration and respect
of those who served with him. B&#6619235;ause of injuries in a traffic accident he was
&#7667822;able to serve on this committee this year. We are praying for his soon
complete recovery. May we ask this assembly to stand and say with us, "God
bless Brother Dean and heal his body."
SECTION3
The businessmen and other residents of Cleveland as a whole have been
very nice over the years in providing housing, food and other
accommodations to our Assembly delegates at reasonable prices; however, in
a few cases some have r&#6357097;sed their prices during Assemblies as suggested in
recent &#6619236;itorials of the two local Cleveland papers. We wish to thank the
Editors of the Cleveland Daily Banner and the Cleveland Press for the above
mentioned editorials in which they called the attention of the public to rumors
of price increases during Assembly week and admonished all Clevelanders to
recognize our delegates as friends.
This committee recommends that it be brought to the attention of the
Chamber of Commerce through the channel of the Public relations
Dep&#6357106;tment, the fact that prices are raised by some in the city of Cleveland
during the period the Assembly convenes. We feel it should be known that we
are aware of this and something should be done through this medium to
rectify this matter.
SECTION 4
It has been brought to the attention of this committee that the General
Assembly has never of&#6684777;cially approved the pledge to the Church of God Flag
which we have used for so m&#6357102;y years; therefore we recommend that this

MINUTES OF THE 68TH ANNUAL ASSEMBLY 167
Assembly place its approval on the pledge in use, which is as follows:
"I pledge allegiance to our Church flag and to the doctrine &#6684783;r which it
stands-one God, one faith, one mind, and one Church &#6684783;r all. Amen."
SECTION 5
We r&#6619235;ommend that this Assembly endorse the action taken by the Board
of Directors of Tomlinson Home for Children to support the children's home
in Korea, and that this Board be authorized to establish and operate homes in
other countries at their discretion.
SECTION6
There is an obvious need &#6684783;r young ministers to receive some practical
training before beginning their respective ministries. Some overseers have
used the plan of assigning young ministers to serve as ministers-in-training
with experienced pastors. This has bee&#7471220; done with the consent of the pastor
with whom they have been assign&#6619236; to work. It might be that other overseers
would like to consider this plan as a means of providing valuable training for
these young ministers. At the same time, such a plan could be a blessing to
the local church and to the pastor with whom these student-ministers &#7798889;ll be
working.
SECTION7
Since some countries have their National Conventions so early in the
Assembly year, we recommend that for all countries outside the United
States having conventions prior to June, the pastor's year end the last
Sunday of the month in which the convention is conducted; and in such
situations the pastors would have th� privilege of appointing their local
leaders during the first month of their pastoral year.
We further r&#6619235;ommend that the time of the appointing of the national and
territorial auxiliary s&#6619235;retaries outside the United States be left to the
discretion of the overs&#6619237;rs.
QUESTION: Should a member always have his membership at the church
nearest to his residence?
ANSWER: In previous r&#6619235;om&#6881384;endations concerning the transfer of
members, it is the understanding of this committee that the Assembly did not
mean to imply that in every case a member or minister not active in the
ministry should have his membership at the church nearest his residence, but
that his membership be at a local church near enough to his residence that he
can attend regularly.
Other subjects have been prayerfully considered which we have not deemed

1&#3539000; MINUTES OF THE 68TH ANNUAL ASSEMBLY
best to present to the Assembly at this time.

To the 68th Annual Assembly of the Church of God, Greetings:

MINUTES OF THE 68TH ANNUAL ASSEMBLY 169
Quite a number of consents have been granted for the sale or purchase of
state and local properties.
We commend the CPMA Department on the beautiful park and marker on
the front lawn of the Assembly Tabernacle. Their donation and financing of
this nice project is deeply appreciated.
We appreciate our Tabernacle Custodian and Director of General

enjoyed in all areas of our responsibility.

World Headquarters Construction Committee
To the 68th Annual Assembly of the Church of God, Greetings:
The committee met a number of times this year making arrangements for
the completion of many of the finishing touches to the Assembly Tabernacle
and to the parking lots, outside lighting, and grounds. We gratefully
acknowledge the C.P.M.A. construction of the p&#6357106;k and marker and sign at
the Keith Street entrance to the tabernacle and the cooperation of the various
contractors, the architect, and others who helped this year.
The committee urges the continued financial support of the Tabernacle
Fund by the Church membership so the indebtedness can be removed at the
earliest possible date. We thank each one who has given throughout this year
and hope that many more will join with the more than one hundred who have
made $1,000.00 and $500.00 personal contributions to this worthwhile &#6684789;nd.

I have promoted the work of the department through WMB training
sessions, mission breakfasts, rallies, and ministers retreats. I have taught
mission classes in winter retreats and youth conventions, assisted with the
Youth Mission Teams orientation and served as sponsor for the Puerto Rico
Team. Also, it was my privilege again this year to teach for BTI &#6881390; both the
Cleveland and West Coast schools.
I wish to express my appreciation to those involved in making the Mission
Festiv&#6357100;s a success. There were 3 this year which included a number of state
overseers, state secretaries, and many individuals who conducted workshops
or performed other duties. Many pastors, leaders, and members drove many

MINUTES OF THE &#3539000;TH ANNUAL ASSEMBLY 175
miles to attend. Because of this cooperation I report the venture "Mission
Festival" a most rewarding success.
Also, I appreciate my secretary, Linda Hughes. Her efficient work has
enabled me to correspond with state and national secretaries regularly as well
as answer daily correspondence.

Report of the President of Tomlinson College
September 1, 1972 to July 31, 1973
To the 68th Annual Assembly of the Church of God, Greetings:
I spoke seventy-six times representing Tomlinson College and the Church
in area &#6357102;d state-wide m&#6619237;tings in twelve states and visited various meetings
of professional and educational organ&#6881402;ations and associations representing
the College. I also served as clerk of the World Headquarters Construction
Committee and as a member of the inner committee responsible for the direct
supervision of construction.
I gratefully acknowledge the assistance of the General Overseer, the Bo&#6357106;d
of Trustees, the many Church Department Heads, Overseers, pastors, and
members and the College faculty, staff, and students in making 1972-73 a
record-breaking term and for their respective p&#6357106;ts in the upcoming 1973-74
term's applications which indicate we will have our largest enrollment ever.
The donations to the College from individuals and groups have been greatly
appreciated. The growing assistance from the state and local churches has
encouraged many of our Church youth to take advantage of Tomlinson
College. The offering brought to the Assembly is greatly appreciated.
According to our records to date, the leading offerings are Tennessee ( Billy
Murray) $328.59; Oklahoma (Omer C. Lawson) $108.39; and California
(Damous E. McGee) $105.00; and Alabama (James Staggs) $100.00. By
membership the highest was Delaware and New Jersey (Hubert Vicars) with
$0.28 per member and North Dakota (R. L. Lane) second with $0.24 per
member. Also the following states gave assistance this past term for students
attending from their state: Colorado (Clive Jared); Florida (Buford Johnson);
Georgia (A. J. Creel); Kansas (Fred S. Fisher); Michigan (Boyd Tho&#7471214;ton);
Mississippi (Joseph Martin); North Carolina (A. J. Coalter); South Carolina

176 MINUTES OF THE 68TH ANNUAL ASSEMBLY
(M. S. Curry); and Virginia (Roy H. Phipps). I understand a number of other
states have made arrangements for this assistance to students for the
upcoming year and appreciate it very much.
Special recognition and thanks are given to Superintendent Debnar
Spurling and Board of the Tomlinson Home For Children for the $5,000
scholarship endowment presentation in December of last year and the
additonal $10,000 contributed to this fund this Assembly; to Chris Kounnas
for again arranging for a $1,000 donation to the College, to Ray Hyden for his
efforts in arranging for the presenting of a $1,100 mower to the College; to the
World Mission Committee represented by Charles G. Hawkins, Sr., for their
assistance in providing housing for married students, and the many others
that helped in various ways. The contin&#7667817;ng prayers of every member of the
Church is appreciated and solicited.

I have written monthly letters to the State and National Secretaries and
have carried on regular correspondence with all State Overseers. Rallies were
conducted in the states of Pennsylvania, Georgia, Tennessee, Kentucky and
Virginia. I participated in a joint seminar with all General Secretaries in
Kansas and taught in the Bible Training Institute conducted in Cleveland.
Took the oversight in restoring and renovating Tomlinson House on Gaut
Street. All the rooms have been redone, as far as possible, to their natural
setting. A great deal of improvement was done on the Union Grove property
with the painting of the entire building as well as putting in all new windows

and frames. I conducted the Thanksgiving program in the Fields on the
Wood, attended the First Assembly anniversary program January 17th,
conducted the Pre-dawn Easter Pageant, and attended the June 13th
Program in the Fields of the Wood. I worked with Public Relations Director,
Perry E. Gillum, in placing an Airport Display of the phases of the Church at
Lovell Field in Chattanooga. I assisted in promoting the Assembly
Tabernacle Marker and Park Area on the Assembly Tabe&#7471214;acle lawn.
I sincerely appreciate the cooperation and support of each local leader,
pastor and state and national secretary and overseers. I would also like to
express my grateful appreciation to my office staff that has worked so
faithfully and efficiently in helping to make this year the greatest in the
history of C.P.M.A. membership.

Conducted district meeting in Missouri and boosted my work. Made one
trip to Israel to promote the Marking Program. Was invited and spoke to one
class in a religious department at Springfield State College in Springfield,
Missouri.
I supervised the work in Fields of the Wood and worked along with the men
in clearing up after the tornado.
I feel I must express my appreciation to Anita and her helpers for carrying
on the work in the lounge and to B. C. Bell and the Fields of the Wood
workers for the great amount of work they have done this year. Lee Garrett is
due special commendation along with Brother Bell.
For improvement we planted grass and set out three thousand pine
seedlings along with improving the road to the altar.

178 MINUTES OF THE 68TH ANNUAL ASSEMBLY
The biggest news and the one thing that made the maintenance much
heavier than usual was the tornado that struck on March 16 at 3:30 P.M. By a
special miracle from God, the property damage to buildings, m&#6357106;kers and
equipment was practically none. The damage to the trees was heavy. We
estimate that at least between &#6684783;ur and &#6684777;ve hundred trees were blown down,
broken, or damaged; and have been or will have to be removed.
The road up to the altar has been improved to an all weather gravel road
with a parking area by the altar.
I regret to report that we encountered unexpected delays in regard to the
completion of the Hittin road, the Caesarea Marker and the marker at
Jethro's Tomb. Part of this was due to a lengthy illness of our advocate
Shlomo Sharon and partly to the fact I was not able to visit Israel in March as
planned. We have to reopen negotiations and plans are to follow through as
quickly as possible.
It is with regret I inform you the November dedication trip is postponed.
Further information will have to be given later.
I need your prayers in behalf of these markers; and we must keep in mind
that we are working together with God and this is His program and His
Church.
Great things are happening in the religious world and the Marking
Program is very important for this time on God's program.

The Church Boosters Committee Report
To the 68th Annual Assembly of the Church of God. Greetings:
We, your Church Boosters Committee, after prayer and deliberation submit
our report:
THE AUXILIARIES-A HELP
'' And God hath set some in the church, first apostles, secondarily prophets,
thirdly teachers, after that miracles, then gifts of healings, helps,
governments, diversities of tongues." I Corinthians 12: 28.
God, in His wisdom, has given to the Church the various auxiliaries, which
are helps in the Church of God,
The Womens Missionary Band, a mighty army of women, raise funds to
send our missionaries.
The Sunday School, a mighty force in the teaching ministry.
The Victory Leaders Band, with a threefold purpose-win the youth to
Christ-train them in the ways of God and the Church-raise money to print
the Gospel in all languages of the world.

182 MINUTES OF THE 68TH ANNUAL ASSEMBLY
Assembly Band Movement-able men and women assisting the pastor in
keeping the members.
Church of Prophecy Marker Association-" And to make all men see what
is the fellowship of the mystery."
Bible Training Institute-striving to establish our people in the doctrine of
the Church, which is the Bible.
The Committee urges each local church to operate each auxiliary as
recommended by the General Assembly.
TABERNACLE
We are grateful to our people for giving so freely to assist in the building of
our tabernacle. With this modern building, we are able to conduct our
Assemblies in any kind of weather. Therefore, we urge all to give liberally,
and freely in the upkeep and for the paying for the tabernacle, which will save
us many dollars in interest.
EVANGELISM
In this assembly, it has been evident that the Church is experiencing a t&#6881389;e
of revival. In each evening service, the altars have been filled to overflowing.
We heartily agree with our General Overseer's statements, "No means nor
methods must be spared in our efforts to win souls and get them added to the
Body of Christ. "
We urge each member to, "Get all excited," and go tell everybody about
Christ and His Church.

12:25 Report of Ways and Means Committee was accepted as read:
Ways and Means Committee Report
To the 68th Annual Assembly, Greetings.
We are grateful to almighty God for His wonderful providence in the
government and its operation in the Church of God, for our faithft.'General
Overseer and for his outstanding address before this Assembly. After careft'
and prayerftF'deliberation, we submit the following report:
SECTION 1
We wish to express our appreciation to Bishop Alvin S. Moss, who served
on this committee thirty-seven years, and six years of this nt I'as its
chairman. Appreciation also is given to Bishops Cecil J. Cunningham and A.
B. Woodrt'who served eight and seven years respectively as committeemen.
SECTION 2
This committee wishes to commend the youth of the Church who have
participated in the Youth Honor Club Plan for their outstanding contribution

184 MINUTES OF THE 68TH ANNUAL ASSEMBLY
to the White Wing Publishing House.
We wish to endorse the section of the General Overseer's Annual Address
in reference to the Youth Honor Club Plan: That those who have not
completed the 5-year plan to date., be given the opportunity to do so this
Assembly year and thereby be eligible to receive their certificate.
We further recommend that on Outreach Sunday (White Wing Messenger
Day), when a special offering is boosted, that the people be enco&#7667826;aged to give
even more generously in support of the White Wing Publishing House and its
ministry.
SECTION 3
We recommend that, if there should be any deficit occurring in the
Tabernacle Fund in making the monthly payments, such deficit be paid from
the General Fund.
SECTION 4
We r&#6619235;ommend that the sum of $200 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. (Note: This recommendation is for income tax purposes only, and
involves no extra allotment.)
SECTION 5
Due to the high cost of material and postage being experienced or realized
by the Publishing House in printing and mailing the White Wing Messenger
to its subscribers, we recommend that the subscription rate be increased to
$4.50 cash, or $5.00 charge, per year.
SECTION 6
We wish to call your attention to the last sentence of the first paragraph on
page 164 of the 67th Assembly Minutes, which reads, "The Assembly has
recommended that 10 per cent of state and national convention offerings and
Assembly offerings of the Tomlinson Home for Children Fund be sent to
General Headquarters for the Tabernacle Fund," to be revised to read as
follows:
The Assembly has recommended that 10 per cent of state and national
convention offerings and Assembly offerings of the Tomlinson Home for
Children Fund be sent to General Headquarters for the Tabernacle Fund, and
the same amount to Tomlinson College.
SECTION 7
It is the desire of this committee to call your attention to Section 4, No. 13,

MINUTES OF THE 68TH ANNUAL ASSEMBLY 185
on page 155, of the 67th Assembly Minutes, the 1st paragraph, which reads,
"We recommend that the State Overseer and the state finance and
appropriations committee give earnest consideration to pastors of our smaller
churches, thereby working out a plan for their substantial assistance.
Commendations are extended to those states whose overseers and finance and
appropriations committees are using state funds to help weak churches,
needy pastors, and new fields."
And furthermore this committee has given serious thought, consideration,
and time to the problems confronting pastors of smaller churches. We realize
that, without the sacrifices made by these ministers, there would be no larger
churches. We do appreciate those who lay the foundations and recommend
that, as soon as possible, each state or country try to implement a plan to give
substantial assistance to help our laborers at the grass roots.
SECTION 8
It has been brought to the attention of this committee that some have
experienced difficulties when filing their income tax &#6684783;rm pertaining to the
subject of contributions. The difficulty has been experienced when checks
have been made payable to individuals rather than to the Church of God of
Prophecy. There&#6684783;re, we recommend in the future that all checks, such as
tithing, contributions, etc., be made payable to the Church of God of
Prophecy.
Also, that the General Church account carry the logo, "Church of God of
Prophecy, General Treasurer's Account," after the present supply of checks is
exhausted.
SECTION 9
Does the pastor alone have the authority to disburse the local church's
portion of the surplus tithes? Answer: No. We refer to the 67t&#6226133; Assembly
Minutes, 1972, page 154, paragraph 3. (Quote) "Surplus tithes accruing in
any local church are left in the local church treasury until after the last
Sunday in June, at which time it is properly divided into three equal parts:
one part is sent to the General Treasurer to be used at the discretion of the
Executive Committee; one part is sent to the state treasurer to be used at the
discretion of the state finance and appropriations committee; one pllr� is left
in the local church to be used at the discretion of the pastor and local church
committee appointed by the pastor."
We recommend that the following words be added to this paragraph. ''That
&#6684777;rst consideration be given to the pastor's expense in the ministry; said
expenses being already defined in the Church Business Guide."
SECTION 10
With reference to all other sections of the Ways and Means Com&#7143529;ttee
Report printed in the Minutes of the 67th General Assembly, we recommend
that these be carried over this year and be included in this report.

186 MINUTES OF THE &#3539000;TH ANNUAL ASSEMBLY
And since the mission of the Church is world-wide, the words "General
Field Office, National, Island or Territorial Overseer or Treasurer" be
included where necessary or applicable and also, where the dollar is not the
monetary system, that it be left to the discretion of the World Mission Com
mittee to set that amount accor&#6553705;ng to the economic and monetary system of
that particular country.
In regards to all other matters brought to the attention of this committee,
we feel more time and consideration should be given and we beg and ask you
for your patience, while we search God's will for an answer.
SECTION 11
We recommend that the Tabernacle Dollars (Tabernacle Fund) be
continued; that each local church raise or collect one dollar per member,
(where the dollar is not the monetary system--the amount is to be set by the
World Mission Committee according to the economic and monetary
condition) and that these funds be collected at the beginning of the Assembly
year with the last Sunday of December being set aside as a rally day to
finalize the collecting of these funds. These Tabe&#7471214;acle Dollars (Tabernacle
Funds) should be mailed to the General Overseer or General Field Office,
immediately after the last Sunday of December.
Since this is such a great and worthy cause, it is recommended that each
State, National or Territorial Overseer and pastor be responsible to promote
this in their respective field of labor.
Furthermore, we would both invite and encourage any or all individuals to
make voluntary personal contributions to the Church of God of Prophecy
Tabe&#7471214;acle Fund. Any amount contributed by individuals should be sent
direct to M. A. Tomlinson, Bible Place, Cleveland, Tennessee 37311, or the
General Field Office.
SECTION 12
1. We recommend that the Executive Committee be authorized by the
Assembly to adjust the allotments for pastors, State Overseers, and General
Workers from year to year, based on the previous year's cost of living index.
2. 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 Treasurer, and
that the same amount be sent to the state or national treasurer along with the
fourth Sunday offering. In view of the fact that the pastors are paid by the
local church treasurer and the General Workers are paid by the General
Treasurer, it seems logical and consistent to have the State or National
Overseer paid by the state or national treasurer.
We also recommend that all local church treasurers mail their reports to the
state or national treasurer no later than the 5th of each month, and from these
&#6684789;nds received, the State or National Overseer would receive &#6815849;s allotment

MINUTES OF THE 68TH ANNUAL ASSEMBLY 187
and expenses (if funds are available) according to the rulings of the General
Assembly.
3. Whereas, by an act of this Assembly, the Radio Department has been
changed and now is referred to as the Communications Department, we
recommend that, when it is feasible to produce television programs, the
matter of finance be left to the discretion of the Executive Committee.
4. 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 Committee.
The Executive Committee agrees that all general workers appointed by the
General Overseer receive an allotment of $770 a month, if funds are available;
and that the question of pay for incidental expense incurred by these general
workers be left to the discretion of the Executive Committee.
The Executive Committee agrees that the State Overseers receive an
allotment of $770 a month, if funds are available. For his office expense, the
Overseer may receive the sum of $200 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 remain in
the state treasury for the purpose of the state work, especially to help pastors
of weaker churches.
We recommend the continuance of the Overseer's convention love offering,
and we encourage everyone to stand by your Overseer with your offering. It
has been brought to our attention that in a few cases there was exercised some
extremity in raising the convention 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 Assembly Band Movement Secretary's
planning which would help to boost the Overseer's love offering; however,
any such planning should be executed by voluntary response. We further
recommend that the SOPA be discontinued and that the offerings received in
the band prayer meetings by the band leaders be used by the local church at
their own discretion. Also, that emphasis be given by the pastor to the
Overseer's fourth Sunday offe&#7471209;ng when receiving it. Should there not be
sufficient fourth Sunday offering funds to cover his expense as Overseer, it is
recommended that the surplus tithes, if there be any, be used to supplement
the expenses of the Overseer. The expenses of the Overseers of non
supporting states be left to the discretion of the Executive Committee.
The Executive Committee agrees that the pastor receive an amount not to
exceed $770 a month from the tithes of the local church after General
Headquarters and the State Overseer have received their portions, if funds
are available. T&#6815849;s does not include offerings and poundings received by the
pastor.

188 MINUTES OF THE 68TH ANNUAL ASSEMBLY
Surplus tithe accruing in any local church is left in the local church treas
ury unt&#6881388; after the last Sunday in June at which time it is properly divided
into three equal parts: one part is sent to the General Treasurer to be used at
the discretion of the Executive Committee; one part is sent to the state or
national treasurer to be used at the discretion of the state or national finance
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.
5. We recommend the following portions be designated as Tabernacle
fund:
1. Not less than 50 per cent of the CPMA membership each year after 10
per cent is deducted for Ministerial Aid;
2. 50 per cent of the CPMA state convention offerings which presently
remain in the state treasury;
3. 10 per cent of the state and national convention offerings and Assembly
offerings of the Orphanage and Bible Training Institute; and 10 per cent
of the national and international accounts of Ministerial Aid and Mis
sions.
6. We recommend that $100 be contributed &#6684786;om the general funds for each
$100 contributed from the state funds for the purpose of opening up new
fields, and that the amount for any one state be limited to $1,000. In case a
state has no funds for this purpose and desires help from the General
Headquarters to open a new &#6684777;eld, the General Overseer and the General
Treasurer may use their discretion in assisting in such cases.
7. Since the Assembly has left the decision to the Executive Committee 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 Emergency Fund be continued and that each
member pay $1 or the amount set by the World Mission Committee where
applicable into the Fund annually and that the present system of collecting
emergency funds be continued. We further recommend that since these funds
are urgently needed, each local church collect these funds in full as soon as
possible and send them as collected with the local church treasurer's monthly
report.
9. We recommend that when an evangelist is engaged by the pastor to
conduct a revival in his local church, that each member be encouraged to give
a good offering each night of the revival and that the total &#6357101;ount of the
offering received go to the evangelist.
If a church is too small to sufficiently support an evangelist, we recommend

MINUTES OF THE 68TH ANNUAL ASSEMBLY 189
that special fund raising projects be instituted prior to a scheduled revival, to
supplement the nightly o&#6684774;erings.
The White Wing Publishing House announces that a &#3211345; per cent discount
will be given to licensed ministers on all cash merchandise orders, except
church signs, flags, and accessories. This includes licensed evangelists'
printing supplies such as business calling cards, stationary, 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.
10. 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 fire of February, 1967, and
new translations and the first printing of each in order for the demands to be
met more quickly. Those that are most urgent can be printed first.
We therefore recommend that the amount to be used for this work be left to
the discretion of the Executive Committee.
11. We recommend that the allotments 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
these amounts in the minutes as supplement to the Ways and Means
Committee Report. We also recommend that the financial system of the
Church be compiled according to the economic conditions of the various
countries by the World Mission Committee listing all fees and the 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 financial system of the
Church as those in the United States since we &#6357106;e 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
recommends that where our international banking system is adopted, the
Overseer come under the tithe system reporting the amount of tithes received
from his churches to the General Overseer on the special report form, and
when necessary the allotment be supplemented from the general tithes of each
respective country or territory.
When there is not sufficient tithes to cover the allotments, we then
recommend that the remaining portion be supplied by the Mission
Department, if funds are available. It is the feeling of this Committee that
each Overseer should receive an allotment in the currency of the country or
the territory he represents in keeping with the economic conditions of that
country.

190 MINUTES OF THE 68TH ANNUAL ASSEMBLY
12. We recommend that all Victory Leaders Bands, Sunday Schools,
Mission, Church of Prophecy Marker Association, White Wing Publishing
House, Orphanage, and Bible Training Institute tithes be placed in the
General Tithe Fund.
13. 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 Treasurer and
that the same amount be sent to the state or national treasurer.
14. We recommend that the tithes of non-members that are paid into the
local treasury should be executed through the regular channel the same as
tithes of members.
15. We recommend that 20 per cent of the state or national convention
offerings of the Womens Missionary B&#6357102;d, Victory Leaders Band, Sunday
School, and Ch&#7667826;ch of Prophecy Marker Association be left in the state or
nation&#6357100; treasury for the purpose of state or national work.
16. We recommend that each Overseer see to it that all state or national
convention offerings raised in his state or country be executed only as
authorized by the Assembly.
17. We recommend that in case of any additional general workers being
appointed by the General Overseer, their allotments be determined by the
Executive Committee.
18. We recommend that if there should be a deficit inc&#7667826;red in printing and
mailing the White Wing Messenger, such deficit be paid from the General
Fund.
19. We recommend that the World Headquarters Construction Committee
be given opportunity to study, introduce and promote feasible plans that
would implement the advancement of our projected building program. We
further recommend that this Committee receive and consider any and all
plans that may be presented by individuals pertaining to the financing and
development of our new headquarters complex.
20. 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
offeri&#2556012;�s to be used for different projects.
For example: A portion for the operation of the Sunday School; a portion
for the flower fund; a portion for the building fund; etc.
We recommend only the money that is used &#6684783;r the operation of the Sunday
School is the portion that is to be tithed. This Committee calls to your
attention that Orphanage money should not be tithed by the local church.
21. The General Treasurer sends 10 per cent of the Assembly offering from

MINUTES OF THE 68TH ANNUAL ASSEMBLY 191
each state or country to the respective state or national treasurer for the
general state or national fund. The Ministerial Aid Fund receives 10 per cent
of the mission money sent to the General Treasurer.
The White Wing Publishing House sends 10 per cent of the Assembly
offering from. each state or country to the respective state or national
treasurer for the general state or national fund.
The General Treasurer sends 10 per cent of the Orphanage Assembly
offering from each state or country to the respective state or national
treasurer for the general state or national fund.
22. We further recommend that a love offering be received for the district
overseer in his district convention. If the district overseer is requested by the
State Overseer to per&#6684783;rm a duty involving considerable expense, the State
Overseer will be responsible for such expense.

Watchmen Committee Report
To the 68th Annual Assembly of the Church of God, Greetings:
We, your Watchmen Committee, wish to submit the following report. We
count it a privilege to serve you in this manner, even though we miss much of
the soul-stirring messages and spiritual excitement, we count it an honor to
serve you in this capacity.
We are glad to report that there is a sweet spirit of unity prevailing among
our people, with much excitement about the move of God throughout the
Church, and the signs are appearing everywhere pointing to the coming of our
Lord.
We wish to thank this great body of people for your splendid cooperation;
however, the problems have been many. Most of them were of a minor nature,
which were settled in satisfactory manner. Others have been more difficult to
deal with, and these have to do with "Sin and Shame" that was a part of our
esteemed General Overseer's Annual Address. Being so few, and the crowd
twenty thousand strong, we humbly solicit the assistance of every state
overseer, pastor, minister, member and friend to accept a portion of the

for yo&#7667826; children.

The treasurer of the local church sends 10 per cent of tithes received each
nonth to the Treasurer of his state, co&#7667822;try or territory. The balance of the
.ithes, after General Headquarters and the State or National Overseer have
·eceived their portion, remains in the local church treasury to pay the pastor.
rhe Assembly a&#6750322;ees that the pastor r&#6619235;eive $770 a month from the tithes, if
unds are available.

196 MINUTES OF THE 68TH ANNUAL ASSEMBLY
We recommend that the sum of $200 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
&#7667822;der 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. (Note: This recommendation is for income tax purposes only, and
involves no extra allotment.)
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 properly
divided into thr&#6619237; equal parts: one part is sent to the General Treasurer to be
used at the discretion of the General Overseer and General Treasurer; one
part is sent to the state treas&#7667826;er to be used at the discretion of the state
finance and appropriations committee; one part is left in the local church to be
used at the discretion of the pastor &#6357102;d local church committee, appointed by
the pastor.
The Assembly recommends that all local church treasurers mail their
reports to the state or national treasurer no later than the 5th of each month.
From the funds received, the State or National Overseer would receive his
allotment and expense (if funds are available) according to the rulings of the
General Assembly.
Overseers in the United States are to receive no more than $770 a month,
plus an amount not to exceed $200 a month for o&#6684774;ice expenses from the tithes
received from the churches, if &#6684789;nds are available. Any funds in excess of this
amount received by the treasurer are to be kept in the state treasury to be
placed &#6881390; the general state fund &#6684783;r the state work, especially to assist pastors
of weaker churches.
Overseers outside the United States receive an allotment in the currency of
the country or territory they represent in keeping with the economic
conditions of that country. These allotments are set &#6357102;nually by the World
Mission Committee and World Mission Secretary.
The Assembly has ruled that tithes &#6357106;e for the support of the ministry only.
Surplus tithes receiv&#6619236; at General Headquarters are disbursed at the
discretion of the Gener&#6357100; Overseer and General Treasurer to aid Overseers in
states not self-supporting. The Mi&#7209065;sterial Aid Fund receives 10 per cent of all
tithes sent to headquarters. We recommend that the tithes of non-members

regular ch&#6357102;nel the same as the tithes of members.

MINUTES OF THE 68TH ANNUAL ASSEMBLY 203
World Must Be Evangelized
It will take good organization and systematic methods to accomplish this
task.
God's power is demonstrated in proportion to the unity and oneness of His
people.
The members of the early Church were all of one accord, steadfast in the
apostles' doctrine and fellowship, and the multitude that believed were of one
heart and one soul, and great grace was upon them all and &#7143529;ghty results
followed as a consequence of their perfect unity and careful organization.
We must banish from our minds the thoughts of individual or local
independence and haphazard spasmodic efforts.
Pull together, pull at once, pull steadily all the time is the road to success.
All members should 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 responsibi&#7077993;ty, remembering that when one member f&#6357097;ls,
it cripples or dwarfs the body until the matter pending may fail.
Loca I 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 filled 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. 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 appointing 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, givi_ng 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 treasurer, when
convenient and satisfactory to the local church. The treasurer &#7798889;ll receive and
disburse all funds of the local church including tithes, auxiliary funds and
special &#6684789;nds. An accurate record of all receipts and disbursements will be
kept by the treasurer.
4. Auxiliary Leaders. Leaders for the five auxili&#6357106;ies-Sunday School,
Womens Missionary Band, Victory Leaders Band, Church of Prophecy

204 MINUTES OF THE 68TH ANNUAL ASSEMBLY
Marker Association, Assembly Band Movement-are appointed at the
pastor's discretion any time from the first 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 member of the band,
and if &#6357102;y should move away, communication should be kept up by
correspondence. This is for the mutual, spiritual, temporal, and social benefit
of the members. The pastor should keep in close touch with the band leaders
in all the work.
5. Local Trustees. Trustees to hold title to local church property are
selected by the local church in a regular or called business meeting and are
authorized to bargain, buy, sell, convey or enc&#7667821;ber the local property only
when authorized to do so by the local church in a regular or called business
meeting, and with the written consent of the General Trustees.
6. Other Of&#6684777;cers and Leaders. The Assembly has authorized the pastor to
appoint a church literature representative soon after his appointment in
August. The song leader, pianist, organist, ushers, P. R. Director, and Bible
Training Institute booster are appointed by the pastor any time from the &#6684777;rst
Sunday of August to the October conference.
Business Meetings
Each local church should hold a regular business conference once a quarter.
It has been the practice to obse&#7471222;e the first Monday night in January, April,
July, and October for the regular quarterly meetings. If there is a demand for
it, a m&#6619237;ting 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 m&#6619237;tings. 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
&#6357106;range the business meetings to suit his convenience.
Every member, male and female, should take an interest in and attend
every business session if possible. Women are to take no open part in
discussing or deciding questions, but should always be there and silently pray
that God will give wisdom and direct the men.
Matters should be discussed with love, humility and meekness. No votes
should be taken to decide questions. Everything should be done with one
accord and questions settled by mutual agreement. If there is division on a
matter, hold it over until a&#7077996; can agr&#6619237;. If one should seem obstinate and
contrary, do not run the matter over him, but take up his case and investigate

MINUTES OF THE 68TH ANNUAL ASSEMBLY 205
the cause of his obstinacy; if he shows the good spirit so that he can be heard,
then show h&#6881389; 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 settled satisfactorily by the local 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.

MINUTES OF THE 68TH ANNUAL ASSEMBLY
Advice to Members
As a member, you count one and should attend every regular service as far
as possible. Remember no one can fill your place and the service will be that
much dwarfed and crippled without your presence.
Show love and fellowship to everyone without partiality. Don't wait for
others to greet you but you greet them.
Show special courtesy to strangers who may attend one of your services.
As a rule, take part in the singing.
Be ready for 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 find something in others to criticize.
Examine yourself occasionally and see if you are in the faith.
Don't yield to discouragement or despondency.
Be cheerful and happy and try to make others the same.
Spend as much time as you can in secret prayer. Give yourself all you can to
intercessory prayer. Daily prayers and study of God's Word are necessary
and very important for the spiritual welfare of each child of God; therefore,
everyone is urged to faithfully maintain as far as is possible family worship at
home at least once a day.
Your dress should be with moderation, neat and clean, but not for show.
Moderation includes paying moderate prices for clothing, wearing dresses of
high-enough necklines, low-enough hemlines, sleeves of reasonable length.
The wearing of extremely sheer fabrics is unbecoming to a saint and the
wearing of shorts in public should never be practiced. You should never wear
gold for o&#7471214;ament or d&#6619235;oration. Finger rings, bracelets, earrings, necklaces,

MINUTES OF THE 68TH ANNUAL ASSEMBLY 207
lockets and large showy pins-these are also unbecoming to a saint of God.
Rouge, lipstick, nail polish and extremely costly perftI'are used to satisfy
the pride of life and therefore they shot.'have no place in the lives of those
who love God. Please read and stt$'these Scriptures often: I Peter 3:3, 4; I
Timothy 2:9, 10 and I John 2:15-17.
You shot.'not permit yourself to be trapped by worldly attractions. The
Bible says, "Neither &#6750313;ve place to the devil." Dabbling with worldly
amusements like professional ball games, horse races, stock car races,
wrestling arenas, skating rinks, motion picture houses or drive-in theaters.
bowling &#7078093;eys and going swimming where men &#6357102;d women both use the same
bathing area wot.'give the devil a foothold or place in your life.
Always tithe your income and put it in the church treasury. Make freewill
offerings other than your tithes.
Younger members shot.'not keep company or associate too intimately
with worldly outsiders.
Because of the ever-increasing nt I'of broken homes, separations,
divorces and remarriages, the greatest care shot.'be taken with much prayer
and consideration regarding proposed matrimony.
A member who may have a living companion shot.'not marry another
under any circumstances even if divorced. Neither shotE'a member marry
anyone who has a living companion although such a person may be divorced.
Children are an heritage from the Lord. Those who have children are
responsible to teach them at an early age to reverence the house of God. This
shot.'be done by setting a good example before them and by instructing
them with such a good spirit that they &#7798889;ll have a strong desire to serve the
Lord. MINISTERS are to meet all of the requirements in being examples to
the members by keeping their children under reasonable control at all times
and by restraining them from running about over the house of God, especially
while the services are in progress.
The White Wing Messenger is a very important part of the Church of God.
It shot.'be read regt.EF$'by every member and your interest in advertising
the Church shot.'be so great that when you have finished reading your copy,
you wot.'pass it along to someone else. Every member who possibly can
shotE'subscribe, and each minister is asked to be a "paid-up" subscriber and
an ea&#7471214;est worker for our church paper-the White Wing Messenger.
These are the last days and perilous times have come and it will require
much watchftF&#7798894;I'and ht I'prayer for you to so live and act that you wi&#7077996;
never bring reproach on the worthy name of Christ and His Church that you
so much love.
Never form too close an intimacy &#7798889;th the opposite sex even if they are

208 MINUTES OF THE 68TH ANNUAL ASSEMBLY
brothers and sisters in the Lord. Give no place to the adversary. Abstain from
the very appearance of evil.
These kindly instruction and advices are given by those who are watching
for your soul as they must give an account (Hebrews ·13: 17 ), and it is hoped
they will be received with the same meek, gentle spirit in which they are
given.

his power.
To &#6553705;vide his state or territory into &#6553705;stricts and place over each district an
overseer as previously practiced. This is not a rule, but it is considered best
when there are sufficient churches to make it practical. He should order or
conduct district meetings at intervals during the year for the mutual bene&#6684777;t
of all. Special instructions conce&#7209179;ng the work can be given in these district
meetings.
To hold one general convention each year in the area most convenient for
members from all the churches to attend.

under his jurisdiction and keep a record of these so he can report to the
General Overseer, if n&#6619235;essary. He will &#6357100;so issue lay minister's certificates
and keep the necessary records conce&#7209179;ng them.
Keep an accurate record of the location of every church and the number of
members in his territory, keeping a record of the increase so this information
can be reported each year. This can be done by keeping in touch with the
clerks of the churches. Every minister and clerk should take an interest in
imparting this information to the overseer. All new organizations should be
reported to the overseer.
To visit every district and church, if possible, and look after the interests in

To moderate business conferences for women preachers who may be acting
as pastors, and &#6684783;r men who may not be licensed if they are taking care of
churches in his district.

&#7798889;th no churches, it is his duty to evangelize and organize churches.
To hold district conventions according to the instructions of the state
overseer.
To assist the state overseer when called upon in all things relating to
church work and the district overs&#6619237;r is subject to the state overs&#6619237;r.
