Prefatory Notes
A record registration of 21,588 delegates was a mark of the 69th Annual
General Assembly, the third to be held in the large Assembly Tabernacle
audito&#7471209;um. Countries represented were: The U&#7209065;ted States, B&#6357096;amas,
Bermuda, Canada, Curacao, Dominican Republic, Egypt, England, El
Salvador, Germany, Israel, J&#6357101;aica, Leeward and Windw&#6357106;d Islands,
Mexico, Puerto Rico, Philippines, South Africa, Turks and Caicos Islands,
and Virgin Islands.
This was pur&#7340143;rtedly one of our greatest Assemblies. The u&#7209065;ty and
harmony reflected in all phases of the work was outstanding. At times, the
power of the Holy Ghost was present in what seemed like waves of glory.
The old and the young rejoiced together with victory in a common cause.
Activities immediat&#6619244;y prec&#6619236;ing the of&#6684777;cial opening of the Assembly
included: The Fi&#6684788;h Annual M. A. Tomlinson Scholarship Fund Banquet for
Tomlinson Coll
&#6619239;e; the Presbytery Meeting &#6357102;d Dinner hosted by the
General Overseer and wife; the dedication of the Tomlinson House Marker
at the home of the &#6684783;rmer General Overseer, A. J. Tom&#7077993;nson, and his family,
on Gaut Street; and the annual service in Fields of the Wood, with a record
crowd attending.
Tape recordings were made of all sessions, thereby making any program
or activity available for review, and providing an accurate record &#6684786;om which
to compile these Assembly Minutes. Newspaper, radio, and television
coverage kept area residents in&#6684783;rmed concerning the Assembly's
proceedings as they occurred.
Many departments and individuals joined hands and forces in pla&#7209070;ing
and conducting this great Assembly, with the help of God and the unction of
the Holy Ghost. These &#6357106;e to be commended for &#6750313;ving of themselves, that
the purposes of God for t&#6815849;s present time might be sho&#7798894; &#6684783;rth.
The 70th Annual General Assembly will be held, the Lord willing, August
19-25, 1975.

2:19 GOD'S PLAN IS CONDITIONAL-NOT FORCE-message by E.
H. Griffith, Field Secretary. Excerpts: Ex. 19:3-8. God's plan is not
conditional in His p&#6357106;t, but ours. God doesn't force us. His plan will bless
us. In the fore&#6750319;ing chapter, Moses met in counsel &#7798889;th Jethro, and he
introduced a system of government. He wanted to bless His p&#6619247;ple and give
them peace. He implied if his p&#6619247;ple wo&#7667820;d meet the requirements they
would be blessed. There is no peace when there is confusion. Thus the
C&#6815849;ldren of Israel became the Church in the Wilde&#7471214;ess. Acts 7: 38. The
covenant of the Church is conditional on our part. God's plan &#7798889;ll not work

MINUTES OF THE 69TH ANNUAL ASSEMBLY 11
without man, but we must be willing to comply. God is waiting on us to fall
in place with His plan. I was not forced to join the Church. I willingly
accepted the covenant taking the whole Bible, rightly divided. Are we going
to thrust the covenant &#6684786;om us as the Children of Israel did? Some would
like to change things, but to oppose what you have accepted is opposing
yourself. We ministers must be examples in what we teach and practice and
what we have accepted. You can't go contrary to the advice and teachings of
the Church and get by forever. Why did you take the covenant if you didn't
see it that way? I willingly accepted the whole Bible rightly divided with the
New Testament as my rule of faith, practice, gove&#7209183;ent and discipline. The
Church and its doctrine have stablized me. It doesn't pay to be "Mr. know
it-all" and try to make inroads on Church doctrine. There are more than
thirty-two thous&#6357102;d promises in the Bible, and I believe they are all
condition&#6357100;. We want to reach out for the promises and receive the blessing
before we reap the condition. Deut. 28:1-3. With every promise, there is a
condition. For the Ch&#7667826;ch as a whole to receive the promise, it must be
subject to Christ in everything. Eph. 5:25. As the Church is subject to
C&#6815858;ist, so let the wives be to their o&#7798894; husbands. He is coming after a
perfect Church with NO DIVISION. There must be no division in the
Church. Eph. 4:16. Some are saying how the Church should be run. You had
better settle down. You are treading on Holy ground. The Church was here
before you came. It is still here &#6357102;d functioning as shown in the Scriptures.
Are you suppl&#7929961;ng, or are you blocking the channel? It doesn't d&#6881389;inish the
body, but it brings an increase. Rev. 19:7. Even the coming of the Lord is
condition&#6357100;-the Church must be ready. He wi&#7077996; resurrect the saints, but He
is coming after a &#7077993;ve Church. We will be ready!

4:13 COUNTDOWN 5-4-3-demonstration by James Stone. A replica of
a rocket was on platform bearing the All Nations Flag. A huge clock ticked
away the seconds as James Stone comp&#6357106;ed the beginning of the Church,
the going into the Dark Ages, &#6357102;d how she began to rise and shine. The
Church came out of the Dark Ages, and the Spirit of God fell and people in
the North, East, South and West heard the message of the Last Days
Church.
4:25 Message by General S&#6619235;retary, Charles S. Pennington. Excerpts:
Gen. 1: 1; Gen. 1: 8 and 20. God created e&#6357106;th and man. Man has dominated
that he might rule the &#6684777;rmament of the &#6684777;rst heavens. In 1903, the Wright
Brothers invented the airplane so man could go up into the heavens. Man
began to explore and go a &#7077993;ttle higher. According to man's tec&#6815854;ology, the
first heaven is where the fowls are. The second heaven is where the moon,

14 MINUTES OF THE 69TH ANNUAL ASSEMBLY
stars and sun are. Febru&#6357106;y 20, 1962, John Glenn made the first orbital
flight into space, and man set out to conquer that part of the heavens. Man
has a plan where p&#6619247;ple can go into space and return safely. On July 20,
1969, m&#6357102; made his &#6684777;rst landing on the moon. Man's program is earthly,
but God's program is beyond the sun, moon and stars. God has a plan &#6684783;r a
spaceship where gravitation will lose hold, and man will take o&#6684774;. 2 Cor. 12:2-
4. Paul was caught up into the third heaven. I'm planning to go beyond
where man has gone. I'm getting ready for that trip we're talking,
preaching, and singing about which is beyond the spaceship area. Man may
conquer space in some areas, but Paul was writing regarding the third
heaven. I do not know who he was talking about, but in Acts 7:55, 56, he
mentioned being full of the Holy Ghost. He saw the heavens opened, and the
Son of God standing on the right hand of God. Man can only go so far. Col.
3:1, 2. I thought of our program in Fields of the Wood this mo&#14352604;g, and
looking back to 1903 at Kitty Hawk, NC, when the Wright Brothers
develop&#6619236; something that would fly in the air. While that was going on,
there was a man in Fields of the Wood named A. J. Tomlinson, whom God
had b&#6619237;n dea&#7077993;ng with and led him into this remote area. On June 13, 1903,
God was talking to him, and he went up yonder mountain and prayed and
travailed. God began to roll back creeds of man, and on top of the mountain,
God revealed to him the Glorious Church of God, which is going to bypass
all man-made ships. This old ship of Zion is going to take off, and I want to
be on board. If you will stay in the middle of the ship, you won't fall
overboard. The zeal of the Lord of hosts is working me over. We are
preparing &#6684783;r that jou&#7471214;ey. We think of what the Church is doing in this age.
Things may have slowed the Church do&#7798894; just a little, but it is still making
progress. We &#6357106;e making ready for the coming of the Lord. Let us unite,
walk &#6357102;d talk as we should and do the things we should so God can use us
&#6684783;r His glory. We are doing Judgment Day work. We are not just raising
&#6684789;nds, nor just working on the tabernacle, not just trying to beautify Fields
of the Wood. We are building a foundation which will be an enlightenment
to the p&#6619247;ple. I am pleas&#6619236; to have a part in this and to labor in the Church
of God.

Benton presented the General Overseer the balance of his $25,000 pledge on
the tabernacle. He told of his close association with the Tomlinson family
through the years and expressed his high respect, as well as the other
businessmen in Cleveland, for the Church. Interpretation of a message in
tongues: "Oh, you say he is respected on earth, he is our General Overs&#6619237;r of
the Church, but I say unto you, he is respected in heaven, as was Moses and
the mighty men of old, was he not good to them?"
8: 50 Music by Bahama Brass Band. Handkerchief wave.
9:00 Voice of Salvation Program in charge of Staff. Where is Jesus?
message and invitation by Elw&#7274607;d Matthews, Communications Minister.
Excerpts: Jesus came to seek and to save that which was lost. His
invitation extends to humanity. "Come unto me all ye that ... are heavy
laden, and I will give you rest." When Jesus fo&#7667822;d people in need, He set
them &#6684786;ee of sin, sickness, or evil spirits. Because of these supernatural acts,
His fame spread abroad. Those needing deliverance sought Jesus. Zaccheus,
a wealthy Jewish publican, had an emptiness; and he looked for Jesus. Due
to his being little of stature, it was necessary to climb up a tree to catch a
glimpse of Jesus. Jesus looked up and told Zaccheus to come down &#6684783;r He
was going to visit him. Zaccheus made haste and received Him joy&#6684789;lly.
Zaccheus promised he would sell half of his goods and give to the poor; and
if he had taken anything by false accusation he would restore four&#6684783;ld. Jesus
said, "This day is salvation come to this house." Your life may be filled with
materialism, yet an emptiness. Why not inquire "Where is Jesus?" A man
had a lunatic son. Wh&#6881388;e Jesus was on the mount of transfig&#7667826;ation, this
man brought his son where he thought Jesus was. Jesus, Peter, and John
had gone to a mountain to pray. The disciples tried in vain to cast out the
devil. Jesus ret&#7471331;ed, and the man said, "Master, I have brought unto thee
my son who has a dumb spirit." Jesus cast the devil out and the boy was
normal. Is some member of you family in n&#6619237;d of Jesus? Following the
triumphal entry of Jesus into Jerusalem, there was an exceptionally large
crowd for the feast of the passover. A few days prior, Christ had r&#6357097;sed
Lazarus &#6684786;om the dead, and m&#6357102;y people came to the feast because they
heard Jesus was there. Certain Greeks came to worship at the feast. They
crone to Philip saying, "Sir, we would see Jesus." These gentiles c&#6357101;e to the
most Holy Jewish Feast to worship. I t&#7471221;st that you came a§_t_&#7077996;ose Greeks

16 MINUTES OF THE 69TH ANNUAL ASSEMBLY
-to worship Jesus Christ. These men had seen the religious leaders who
were arrogant and envious of Jesus, and were se&#6357106;ching ways to put Him to
death. These Greeks witnessed sacrificial offerings and rituals of Jewish
worship. They had seen the inconsistency of the law, as interpreted by the
priest. They came to Phi&#7077993;p and said that they wanted to see Jesus. Did you
come to see Jesus? After you have been here a week, will some of you ask,
"Where is the anointing of God"? The world has its programs and talents,
but it does not have Jesus. The world, even religious people, are searching
&#6684783;r a church united to propagate the message of Jesus Christ. I challenge
you, not only this week, but in all of your de&#6357100;ings &#7798889;th others to point
people to Christ. Any who need something &#6684786;om God, I urge you to come to
the altar.

9:50 We Care Because We Love-message by Archibald Coble.
Excerpts: he prayed. We can do a lot of things in the Ch&#7667826;ch by plans, but it
takes the favor of God which w&#7078101; be increased by our love for one another.
The Lord wants us to line up with His Word. I Cor. 12:25, 26. For every
member to receive the same care in the local churches, we have bands. Gen.
11:6. God wants to give us His favor. The further we get away &#6684786;om God,
the further we get away &#6684786;om each other. I Cor. 12:27. You are in the Church
of God, and there are certain responsibilities, as well as favors, to be
members. The Bible says, "This is the Church of God." Many times we are
not thoroughly convinced. The devil would have us believe this is not the
Church mentioned in the Bible. You might have some hang ups, but this is
the Body of Christ. Even though we see the Church, we need to see Christ

MINUTES OF THE 69TH ANNUAL ASSEMBLY 17
t&#7274607;. Christ is the head of the Ch&#7667826;ch. Prayer changes some things, but I
don't believe it will ch&#6357102;ge what Christ has said. We might as well &#6684783;llow the
plan outlined by Christ. t Tim. 3:15. When God made this body, He put
everything in its proper place, and God can put every member in his proper
place &#6881390; the Church of God. We n&#6619237;d each other, and we n&#6619237;d the Lord. John
13:34, 35. We can love one another, but sometimes we can't resist doing
each other &#7798898;ong. Jesus said, "Love one another as I have loved you." Luke
10:30-34. Not only are we to love church members, but also sinners. Matt.
10:34-38. We have to work out our salvation with fear and trembling. The
devil &#6881507;l try to stop us &#6684786;om doing God's will. The Bible mentions the way
we &#6684783;rgive is the way God for&#6750313;ves us. I John 3: 11. Sometimes we might be
ve&#7471225; dutiful to God and forsake our brothers. Cain had everything for God,
but he had murder &#6684783;r his brother. Matt. 25:31-40. Along with that mission
o&#6684774;ering or anything else you do, God expects us to care &#6684783;r one another.
10:20 Eva Morrison sang "If I Can Help Somebody."
10:30 "Safely Sh&#6619244;te&#7471205;d"-d&#6619245;onstration by Steve Fisher. Narrator
Ruby Hughes. Ezek. 11:30, 31. The state overseer and ABM se&#6488178;etary had
consultation reg&#6357106;ding the strays. They agreed to work until every stray in
the state was safely sheltered in the &#6684783;ld. There was much prayer and
&#6684769;sting, as eve&#7471225; pastor and band leader united in this cause. The theme of
each church was "Every Member Saved." In April, each church had a two
weeks' re&#7733353;val. The June reports were r&#6619235;eived except one. It was time to
make the convention report. The pastor of this church call&#6619236; the state
s&#6619235;retary and &#20644172;lly report&#6619236;, "We have one stray in our church."
Another revival was conducted. ("Win the Lost At Any Cost" was sung.)
Every church in the state was praying &#6684783;r this lost sheep. The local ch&#7667826;ch
united their ef&#6684783;rts in winning this one to the &#6684783;ld. ("The Ninety and Nine"
was sung.) The stray was won to the Lord, and one week before the
convention the state s&#6619235;retary report&#6619236; every member saved. The joy of
every member safely sheltered will live on. The pastor who won this sh&#6619237;p is
now a state overseer, and the stray who was restored is district overseer and
pastoring Muskog&#6619237;, Oklahoma. Strays must be brought back.
( Congregational prayer &#6684783;r all strays.)
10:55 We Had &#6357102; ABM Training Program Because We Care: Mildred
Tollison. We in Maryland &#6357102;d D.C. had a training progr&#6357101; because we care
about souls. Some members of the Church have slipped away. Oftentimes
band leaders don't know how to conduct a band service and visit. I John 2:6.
We n&#6619237;d to &#7012462;ow the why and how.
Lottie McTaggert-Psahn 142. Our band leaders and pastors will be
motivated by love through training programs. Matt. 4 tells of Jesus
realizing the n&#6619237;ds of His people. Matt. 5th through 7th chapter tells of
Jesus being in a training pro&#6750322;am. The needs of the p&#6619247;ple were made
&#7012462;own, and He prepar&#6619236; these &#6684783;r their work. A beautif&#7667820; Bible example of

18 MINUTES OF THE 69TH ANNUAL ASSEMBLY
inspir&#6619236; leadership is Nehemiah, a man of prayer who had communication
with God and a genuine conce&#7471214; &#6684783;r the &#7340133;ople. Neh. 2: 10 and 18; The results
in Neh. 6: 16 shows the w&#6357100;l was &#6684777;nished because someone cared.
11:15 Two songs by B&#6357106;bara &#6357102;d Beverly Br&#6357102;tley.
11:25 True Greatness-message by Alvin Brantley. Exc&#6619250;pts: Matt.
20:20-28. People have sought greatness in di&#6684774;erent ways. The mother of
James and John was conce&#7471214;ed about a position of greatness &#6684783;r.her sons.
Jesus m&#6881390;istered, He served, and He did what the Father had &#6684783;r Him to do.
He did not ask the Father to send som&#6619247;ne else to do His work. He was
willing to take the &#6684783;&#7471213; of h&#7667821;an flesh b&#6619235;ause of His love &#6684783;r man. M&#6357106;k
13:34. There is work &#6684783;r every Christian. All are not called to preach. If we
&#6357106;e to be honored, we must work. Calvin Coolidge said that no person was
&#6619254;er honored for what he received. Honor is the reward &#6684783;r what he gave. We
are in the Church to build the Church of God of the Bible &#6357102;d to be a
blessing to the world. How could anyone be dissatisfied when God has set
the members in the Ch&#7667826;ch as it pleases Him? Paul compar&#6619236; the Body of
Christ to the body of a person. All members have not the same of&#6684777;ce, but
there is work &#6684783;r each member of the body, and it is important &#6684783;r each to
&#6684789;nction properly. The &#6684777;ve auxili&#6357106;ies in the Ch&#7667826;ch do not compete with
one another, but they work together. One auxiliary cannot be at its best
without the help of the others. Members of the Church of God are not to
compete with one &#6357102;other. We are laborers together with God. Jesus
&#6684777;nished the work the Father gave Him. In due time the Body of Christ will
&#6684777;nish the work that God has given her. I am conce&#7471214;ed about doing my
part. Each should be con&#6488165;&#7471214;ed that he does his part to &#6684777;nish the work prior
to the return of our Lord. We cannot hurt another member without hurting
ourselves. Each member of the Church is import&#6357102;t. Your o&#6684879;ce in the
Church is important. Each member should be cons&#6619235;rated to God and
dedicated to the task at hand. It is important that we have the proper
motivations. The Apos&#7602284;e Paul was a w&#13959381;ng worker &#6684783;r. God. There were
times when he was not where he want&#6619236; to be, such as when he was in
prison; but he was working &#6684783;r God and through his services to God he
obtain&#6619236; true greatness. It is e&#7864432;ected according to what a man hath and
not according to that which he hath not. I believe as we &#6750319; on, the Church of
God will look better. It is loo&#7012457;ng pretty g&#7274607;d, but there is room &#6684783;r
improvement. Enough of the love of God will solve our problems. When we
love God, we love one another. If we love material things, we will put them
ahead of other things. If we love souls, we will endeavor to win souls &#6684783;r God
&#6357102;d His Church. The things we love rule our lives. Campbell Morgan said,
"The &#6684777;nal demonstration of love is not for the vision of any save the loved
one." Jesus taught that we are not to do things to be s&#6619237;n of men. If we do,
that will be our reward; but the things done to be seen of God, He will
reward openly. The child has no lust &#6684783;r power nor position. He treats others
as his equals, and he is natural and honest. The Lord wants us to possess
these qualities. The child can be trained, and he has capacity for growth and

development. Jesus was asked who was the greatest in the &#7012457;ngdom of
heaven. He said that the kingdom is heavenly and the king is heavenly . We
might be surprised if God should name some of the great ones among us. We
are se&#7471222;ants. Paul said that servants must be gentle unto all men, patient
&#6357102;d apt to teach. We can't teach what we don't know. It is important that
those who are called to teach prepare to be teachers of the Word of God.
(Relat&#6619236; parable in Matt. 21:28-30.) I feel that you and I are serving the
Father in &#6357102; honorable way in His vineyard. (Related Luke 18:28-30.) The
spiritual riches are so much greater than our natur&#6357100; riches. Let us strive to
reach heaven and to help others, for we are our brother's keeper. Let us con
tinue to work for God and hear Him say, "We&#7077996; done, thou good &#6357102;d faithful

8:56 Being Established in the Faith-message by Wayne Allen.
Exce&#7471216;ts: Acts 16:4, 5. At the Assembly in Jerusalem, the Jews desired the
Gentiles to be_circumcised. Paul's message was salvation through faith in
Jesus-not the works of the law. The Apostles and elders gather&#6619236; to
consider the matter. Acts 15. The General Overs&#6619237;r said they were not told
to preach this. Some things today may be preached that are not sound
doctrine. It was not the desire of the Church in general to require the
Gentiles to come under the Law. There was a n&#6619237;d for b&#6619241;ng established in
the doctrine. Do we have that same n&#6619237;d today? We c&#6357102; walk by the s&#6357101;e
rule, mind the same thing and edi&#6684793; the Church of God. The whole Ch&#7667826;ch
was in agreement, and they chose brethren to deliver the r&#6619235;o&#7143533;endations.
When we hear the Word of God rightly divided, coming through the proper
channels, &#6684786;om the General Assembly on down in the right way, we can be
established in the faith or doctrine. Wouldn't it be wonderful if we would be
established so that when a problem c&#6357101;e up, m&#6357102; couldn't shake us? When
the d&#6619235;rees went &#6684783;rth, they were r&#6619235;eived. There is a difference in being
established in the present truth &#6357102;d one that's not up to date. I believe we
can say the present truth is the doctrine that is being made known to the
Church. The G&#6619246;tile Christians rejoiced to hear and to a&#6488163;ept the approved
doctrine-no record of their being self-willed nor negl&#6619235;ting the
recommendations of the Assembly. I don't know of anything that would
bring greater victory than being faithful to the covenant we took when we
became members of the Body of Christ. (Relat&#6619236; I Sam. 15:1-11.) Wh&#6619246; we
&#6357106;e faithful, God will bless. II Peter 1: 12. We should not have a d&#7274595;trine but
teach and preach the doctrine of the Ch&#7667826;ch. If we deviate &#6684786;om the doctrine,
we will have trouble. A few ye&#6357106;s ago, all many of our p&#6619247;ple preached was
Church. Then we didn't hear much about the Church &#6684783;r awhile, only the
ev&#6357102;gelistic side. It takes evangelistic efforts to get us ready to become a
part of the Church, but we must declare God's Church. It is &#6684789;nctioning
under the dir&#6619235;tion of the Holy Ghost. II Peter 1:5-7. If as much time were
spent studying the doctrine of the Church as theo&#7471209;es and p&#7471209;vate
interpretations, there would be a greater knowledge and vision of the
Church. S&#6357100;vation is more than a profession-it is a change of life. Some
present truths are: being bo&#7471214; into the family of God; sancti&#6684777;cation, which
purifies the heart (I Thes. 4:3; Rom. 6:6); Water Baptism (Matt. 28:19); the
baptism of the Holy Ghost (Acts 1:8). The one &#6684783;ld is anoth&#6619250; part of the
truth. John 17:4. Jesus &#13893842;shed the work the Father gave Him to do. John
20:21. Jesus org&#13238504;ed the Church and left it here to c&#7471315;y out God's divine
plan. It is time &#6684783;r the children of God to be gathered into one &#6684783;ld. John
10: 16. Some ministers are preac&#6815849;ng that Jesus may come before mo&#14352604;g,

MINUTES OF THE 69TH ANNUAL ASSEMBLY 26
or He may come &#6684783;r the Church any time. The Lord could call me or you
before mo&#14352604;g by death, but the Church must &#6684777;nish its work. The&#7471205; a&#7471205;
members who are not paying tithes. How can a church be perf&#6619235;t with
somebody robbing God? The Church is to reach the measure of the stature
of the &#6684789;lness of Christ. Acts 3:21. God's pro&#6750322;am was outlin&#6619236; be&#6684783;re the
foundation of the world. He &#14876885; not change it. The Holy Ghost will see that
everything happens as has been for&#6619247;rdained. If we ch&#7274607;se to go our way,
He will have to say, "I don't &#7012462;ow you." I want &#7602287; be where God can use me.
Matt.16:18. Rev.19:7. To be ready for the Lord's ret&#7471331; is having the work
done.

11:10 We Are Ambassadors For Christ-message by B. L. Trogdon.
Excerpts: II Cor. 5: 18-20. A great aw&#6357099;ening has come to the Church
regarding our divinely appoint&#6619236; mission to preach and teach the full gospel
to every creature. The only sustaining motive is Christian love. The
realization of t&#6815849;s has l&#6619236; to a new emphasis on Christian stewardship; even
a professing disciple of Christ is a pledg&#6619236; worker with God. In his covenant
with God, he promises to renounce the world, the flesh and the devil and to
live and die according to the will and Word of God. A right attitude of mind
and heart is fundamental &#6684783;r a sense of t&#7471221;steeship be&#6684783;re one is prepared for
stew&#6357106;dship. If we do not accept that we &#6357106;e t&#7471221;stees, we can never hope to
be worthy stewards. Trusteeship refers more directly to the terms upon
which possessions are r&#6619235;eived, while stewardship is m&#6357097;nly the actual use. I
Tim.1:11; I Thes. 2:4. Paul states that his &#7077993;fe becomes a trust together
with all his possessions. Whatever He bestows upon His creat&#7667826;es is as a
trust. Men are trustees in all they possess. I Cor. 4:1; I Peter 4:10. This
involves a true sense of responsibility &#6684783;r the administration of the trust,
and we &#6357106;e to be led by the Word and Spirit of God. The relationship
between Christi&#6357102;s and God is such that no one who becomes a true trust&#6619237;
&#6357102;d then a true stew&#6357106;d can remain as an impersonal agent with God. The
absolute ownership of God remains, but all the bene&#6684777;ts of ownership are
shared as God raises men from mere stewards to His children. Gal. 4: 7. Here
our Saviour teaches us of our oneness with God through identification with
Him which makes His ours, and ours His. This is the highest p&#7471209;vilege men
c&#6357102; conceive of. II Cor. 5: 18-20. We as ambassadors must move into greater
dimensions. Ezek. 47:3-5. Waters in this case &#6357106;e symbolic of the Spirit.
There is a m&#6357102; today with the &#6881498;e in His hand. He meas&#7667826;ed it for all of us
and Ezekiel had to fo&#7077996;ow the &#7077993;ne in his h&#6357102;d. He had to go the depth that
had b&#6619237;n measured for him. The Holy Ghost is directing the affairs of the
Church of God, and we must move as he moves. When he says this is the
depth for today, we must move to that depth. People who are swimming
don't talk much. When you get that d&#6619237;p, p&#6619247;ple don't see much of you.
They s&#6619237; more water. God and the Holy Ghost are ready to take us into
something. We are going to have to depend upon the power that is gr&#6619233;ter
than we are to support us. If you stay in touch with earth, you can stir up
mud. You c&#6357102; even get a hold of a little and sling it. We must be supported
in the power of the Spirit. Jesus ret&#7471331;&#6619236; in the &#7340143;wer of the Spirit, which

MINUTES OF THE 69TH ANNUAL ASSEMBLY 31
enabled Him to resist the tempter who approached Him imm&#6619236;iately after
His communion with God. You are not your own, and I don't belong &#7602287;
myself. You have heard p&#6619247;ple say what they will not do. You better watch
that statement. (Seekers went to altar.)

9:25 The Fifth Column Within the Church message by Jack R. Pruitt.
Excerpts: II T&#6881389;. 2:20, 21, 25. (Prayer) The Church will get into a realm of
spiritual perfection where God's power is not li&#7143529;ted among us. Something
is preventing our reaching the &#6684777;fth dimension. I think it is the &#6684777;fth column
within the Chur&#6488168;. This is a military term, and it denotes the. existence of an
enemy hidden in the ranks of the Church. There is a malfunction in our
spiritual equipment. I b&#6619244;ieve you can say we are being unde&#7471213;ined
something is wrong. The enemy works through those who are constantly
dissatisfied. Trust in God and things will work out. A proud man is subject
to be us&#6619236; by the devil. He uses the simple and ignorant-I am not ta&#7012565;ng
about formal education. Those who have never studied to show themselves
approv&#6619236; &#6357106;e simple and ignor&#6357102;t. Adolph Hitler said, "Our strategy is &#7602287;
destroy the enemy &#6684786;om wit&#6815849;n." During the Spanish Civil W&#6357106; of 1936, the
General as he was advancing to Madrid boast&#6619236; that he had four columns
advancing on Madrid, and he had a &#6684777;fth column of sympathizers within the
&#6488169;ty, and that would determine the victory or defeat. The devil knows that
he cannot &#6684786;om the outside hinder the Church of God. Other tactics of the
fifth col&#7667821;n are: traitors, espionage a&#6750309;nts and saboteurs. Jude said to
e&#6357106;nestly contend for the faith for certain men crept in unawares. Stay
awake and be aware of what is happening. Paul told &#5505129;mothy to shun
profane &#6357102;d vain babblings for they will increase unto more ungodliness.
Keep away from unholy empty and futile songs, ideas, plans and programs
w&#6815849;ch the enemy uses to break down our integrity. The Navy unde&#7471223;ater
demolition te&#6357101; called Frogmen specialize in sabotage. During the Kor&#6619233;n
War, they went behind the lines at night &#6357102;d quietly in their &#7077993;ttle rubber
rafts put down demolition devices in tunnels and bridges. They would get in
their rafts and quietly move out and pull the detenator. These would be
rebuilt, and in a few days the demolition group would go again. The &#6881484;th

32 MINUTES OF THE 69TH ANNUAL ASSEMBLY
&#6488175;lumn uses pro&#7340143;ganda, rumors &#6357102;d gossip, speaks ideas and info&#7471213;ation
deliberately to damage another person. Most of the c&#7471209;ticism of another
brother is jealousy. A Ch&#7471209;stian should &#6619360;l facts. Too many good p&#6619247;ple are
being ruined by the enemy working through others. II Cor. 10:6. Perhaps
some things and even p&#6619247;ple n&#6619337; to be chang&#6619236; in the Church. Our system
of gov&#13828319;ent will work without you &#6357102;d I putting our hands on it. I am
&#21758275;g &#7602287; let God work it out. We n&#6619237;d d&#6619237;ply sp&#7471314;tual and dedicat&#6619236;
leaders who don't entangle with the affairs of this life. Men who f&#6619233;r God &#6357106;e
not trying to get the favor of other men. We n&#6619337; leaders who do not s&#6619237;k
&#7340143;sitions. Col. 3:22. I believe in th&#6619247;cratic gove&#7209183;ent. K&#6619237;p your hands o&#6684774;
of those who make decisions. Weak men have a tendency to gather weaker
men around them. He is a&#6684786;aid of one more qua&#13762770;ed than he. Strong· men
s&#6619237;k even stronger men. They want the Church to move. We in &#6881389;por&#7602273;nt
&#7340143;sitions set the tone of those und&#6619250; us. We have made the Church what it
is. Children imitate what they look up to. Let us build &#6684783;r ete&#7209179;ty-not &#6684783;r
short-te&#7471213; popularity; Lu&#6488169;fer started this rebellion in h&#6619233;ven. His
sympathizers got togeth&#6619250; and there was war in heaven. II Tim. 3:1-9. This
business is going so far, but God drew a line and His chosen &#6619359;ple were
given op&#7340143;rtunity to handle the &#6684777;fth column. The &#6684777;fth &#6488175;lumn &#6750319;t into the
early Church &#6357102;d took it _into the Dark Ages. After several years of &#6750322;eat
&#6684769;vor with God, they b&#6619239;an to &#7602287;lerate things contrary to sound doctrine.
When the early Ch&#7667826;ch had favor with God, He con&#6684777;rmed His Word &#7798889;th
si&#6750318;s, miracles and wonders. When they got away &#6684786;om the o&#7471209;ginal plan,
they won partial victo&#7471209;es. God has ca&#7077996;&#6619236; us to win ultimate vic&#7602287;ries. We
have .b&#6619237;n promised power over all the devil, over &#6357100;l sickness, &#6357102;d ov&#6619250; all
diseases. If you don't w&#6357102;t to be identi&#6684777;&#6619236; with the &#6684777;fth column, get a g&#7274607;d
case of sanctification &#6357102;d the Holy Ghost and &#6684777;re. In this &#6750322;eat sha&#7012457;ng
time will come a church-wide revival, and a lot of God's true children are
comi&#7209063; &#7602287;gether in one body. Then I b&#7078094;eve the doors of the Church will be
open day &#6357102;d night. The groom is &#6488175;ming after his Bride. Commit to God
those things you don't understand. Be true to the Lo&#7471204;. The Ch&#7667826;ch will
&#6684789;l&#6684777;ll its commission.

THE BIBLE PLEDGE

I might not sin against God.
INTRODUCTION
It has been said, "God works in mysterious ways His wonders to
&#7340133;rfo&#7471213;." Many Script&#7667826;es prove this. Although some of the mysteries of
God have been reveal&#6619236; to His Church, many of God's most wonder&#6684789;l
works are still clothed in a certain veil of mystery. Men remain divided over
the creation of this world, especially the making of man. The miracles of all
time have been attacked and denied by men professing great intelligence;
but when all is said and done, they have to admit that their explanations are
mere theory; and theo&#7471225; is only an idea lacking proof.
The most religious men are still disputing the Holy Trinity, the Virgin
Birth of C&#6815858;ist, &#6357102;d even the Church of God as presented in the Word. The
element of mystery seems a&#7077997;ost irritating to those who &#6357106;e determin&#6619236; to
&#7012462;ow more than the Lord has seen &#6684777;t to reveal. To those of us who are
willing to let God have the pre-eminence, it is wonderful indeed to behold
His wonderful works and to let Him have the glory. Jesus on one occasion,
"Rejoiced in spirit, and said, I thank th&#6619237;, 0 Father, Lord of heaven and
earth, that thou hast hid these t&#6815849;ngs &#6684786;om the wise and prudent, and hast
revealed them unto babes: even so, Father; for so it s&#6619237;med good in thy
sight." (Luke lb:21)
I suppose it is a mystery to some when we speak of the divine revelation
of the Church of God according to proph&#6619235;y, be&#6750313;nning with "an handful of
corn upon the top of the mountains." The story of the Church's retu&#7471214; in
these last days is so simple that many have not been able to accept it,
because this world is gear&#6619236; to worldly wisdom and knowledge. The wisdom
of God works t&#6815858;ough hearts and minds that are h&#7667821;ble enough to accept
the simplicity of Christ. Paul has said to the Church:
"For ye see your calling, brethren, how that not many &#7798889;se men after the
&#6684780;esh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called:
"But God hath chosen the f&#7274607;lish things of the world to confound the
wise; • And God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the
things w&#6815849;ch are mighty;
"And base t&#6815849;ngs of the world, and things which are despised, hath God
chosen, yea, and things which are not, to bring to nought things that are:
"That no &#6684780;esh should glory in his presence." ( 1 Corinthians 1: 26-29)
When the time-table of proph&#6619235;y called for the Church to arise out of the
Dark Ages, it was discovered that God had been gather&#6881390;g a small band of
holy p&#6619247;ple together to accept the revelation that had been out of sight so
long. The country round about what is now Fields of the Wood was full of
religious p&#6619247;ple who undoubtedly considered themselves wise, prudent,
mighty and noble. If God had willed, He could have revealed His Church to
the&#7209065;. He &#7012462;ew they would not accept the revelation-taking the whole
Bible as the Word of God. The little band of spiritually hungry mountain

&#6684783;lk proved themselves to Him by their di&#7077993;gent search of the Scriptures the
past few years. Their tender hearts were open to the truth, and to them it
was given.
From that small beginning, despite strong opposition and terrible set
backs, the Church has grown to what we see here today-and only a small
portion of the membership is in this vast assemblage. It is near a mystery
how the Lord has brought it to pass. We have contended for theo&#6488178;atic
gove&#7209183;ent and holiness of life, and the Lord has honored us &#6684783;r our stand.
Even in the midst of all this blessing there is cause for warning lest we get
our minds too much on our material growth and become careless about our
spirituality. There are evidences of this among us, and I feel it wisdom to
stir up the pure minds to, be on guard about some things that are not so
pure.
I wish to relate a story in the 39th chapter of Genesis, concerning Joseph,
the son of Jacob or Israel, who had been sold by his brethren into Egypt.
Joseph soon found grace in the sight of his master, Potiphar who was
&#6488161;ptain of the gu&#6357106;d under Pharaoh. As with all good men, the enemy was
&#6357094;ter Joseph's reputation, and even his character. Potiphar's wife tried to
entice this young man of God &#7602287; &#6488175;mmit adultery. The record says:
"But he refused, and said unto his master's wife, Behold, my master
wotteth not what is with me in the house, and he hath committed all that he
hath to my hand:
"There is none greater in this house th&#6357102; I; neither hath he kept back any
thing from me but th&#6619237;, b&#6619235;ause thou art his wife: how then can I do this
&#6750322;eat wickedness, and sin against God?"
Day &#6357094;ter day she tempted him, and finally caught him by his ga&#7471213;ent to
compel him, but the Bible says, " ... He left his g&#6357106;ment in her hand, and
fled, and got him out."
Since the former things were written for our l&#13566272;ng and admonition, we
have to wonder if some of those who read and preach the Scriptures are
profiting as much as they should &#6684786;om what they read and preach. Since
some this year have not stood the test as Joseph did, it makes us fear lest
there be others who may be playing with fire, so to spe·ak. On this very
subject, the Scripture asks, "C&#6357102; a man take fire in his bosom, and his
clothes not be burned?" (Proverbs 6:27)
It seems that after their first conversation, Joseph would not listen to this
evil woman, nor even be near her unless he had to take care of his business.
The enemy did not give up easily, and there came a time when he had to &#6684780;&#6619237;.
She even had her hands upon him, but he left his g&#6357106;ment behind in order to
save his soul.
The situation is not always the same, but the sin hasn't changed.
&#5439599;metimes a so-called counselling session can have an evil design, or result
in. evil because a minister is not careful to have his companion with him on
these o&#6488163;asions. Sometimes p&#6619247;ple just get too f&#7471209;endly, with no ev&#6881388;
thought at first. Two or thr&#6619237; couples may get so close that they are
together too much. It is all right to have close &#6684786;iends, and to have Christian
fellowship, but time and experience have taught us that it seldom t&#7471331;s out

MINUTES OF THE 69TH ANNUAL ASSEMBLY 35
well for just a few p&#6619247;ple to be together so much rather than having a
reasonable fellowship with all of our brothers and sisters in the Lord.
Sometimes a member or minister has &#7602332; work among sinners, as was the
case with Joseph. Joseph had too much respect &#6684783;r his master to cast away
his con&#6684777;dence. The same is true when the Church entrusts a man with the
minist&#7471225;. That ministry is more than preaching. Greater still is the
responsibility to live and conduct one's self so as to be worthy of this trust,
and of the cal&#7077993;ng of God.
Joseph was a man of God. Though shut off &#6684786;om his p&#6619247;ple, and
undoubtedly without any encouragement to be true to the God of his father,
he had not lost the fear and love of God. Besides being true to his earthly
master, he was more ho&#7471218;ified at the thought of doing a grave wickedness
and sinning against God.
I am a&#6684786;aid there is t&#7274607; much permissiveness among us today in moral
conduct and conversation. The world promotes openness and frankness, and
some of our people seem to think t&#6815849;s is good among Christians. Some who
do not think this way may have b&#6619237;n accused of hypocrisy; but it is not true
that &#7078093; who outwardly maintain holy standards are doing so just &#6684783;r
appe&#6357106;ance. Perhaps it is time for us to consider that this &#6684786;ankness leads to
undue familiarity, just as it does in the world. When people are &#7274723; &#6684786;ee with
their choice of words, it soon follows that sin no longer appears sinful. It is
as James said: "Every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own
lust, and enticed. Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin; and
sin, when it is &#13893842;shed, bringeth &#6684783;rth death." (J&#6357101;es 1:14, 15)
Fo&#7209179;cation &#6357102;d adultery seemed to plague the church at Corinth. The
Apostle Paul was very strong in his reproof of their conduct, and of those
who defended the guilty. He showed them the abomination of de&#6684777;ling their
bodies. They were members of the Church, and he said they were taking the
members of Christ and making them the members of a h&#6357106;lot. Then he said,
"Flee fo&#7471214;ication." (1 Corint&#6815849;ans 6: 18) Instead of compromising one's
standards to invite temptation, one should run for his life, leaving the
fleshly garments behind.
We want the Church to grow and prosper. We preach a perfect Church.
We teach that the ministry is given for this work of perfection. It is probable
that we would have. to run less often if we would use more plainness of
sp&#6619237;ch in teaching against sin and admonishing our members, both men and
women, to keep the fear of God and stay away &#6684786;om c&#7471311;al involvements.
We owe it to our heavenly Master, Who has called us with a holy calling,
&#7602287; be His honorable representatives. We owe it to ourselves to refuse to sin
against God lest we find our souls ete&#7471214;ally lost.
THE CHURCH, GLORIOUS IN HOLINESS
When the children of Israel had passed safely through the Red Sea, and
the Egyptians had been destroyed, Moses and. the people sang a song of
praise unto the Lord. Let us notice a portion of the song:
"Who is &#7077993;ke unto thee, 0 Lord, among the Gods? who is like th&#6619237;,
glorious in holiness, fearful in praises, doing wonders?

"Thou stretchest out thy right hand, the earth swallowed them.
"Thou in thy mercy hast led &#6684783;rth the p&#6619247;ple which thou hast red&#6619237;m&#6619236;:
thou hast &#6750325;ided them in thy strength un&#7602287; thy holy habitation.
"The people shall hear, &#6357102;d be a&#6684786;aid ...
"Fear and dread sh&#6357100;l fall u&#7340143;n them; by the greatness of thine &#7209167; they
shall be as still as a stone; till thy p&#6619247;ple pass over, 0 Lord, till the p&#6619247;ple
pass over, which thou hast purchased.
"Thou shalt bring them in, and plant them in the mountain of t&#6881494;e
inheritance, in the place, 0 Lord, which thou hast made &#6684783;r thee &#7602287; dwell in,
in the S&#6357102;ctu&#7471322;, 0 Lord, w&#6815849;ch thy hands have established." (Exodus
15:11-14, 16, 17}
These were the people who were shortly to b&#6619235;ome "The church in the
wilderness," which was a type of the Church Jesus would later set in ord&#6619250;.
The words "habitation," "inhe&#7471209;tance," and "p&#7667826;chased," us&#6619236; by Moses
and the children of Isra&#6619244;, were a&#7077996; referr&#6619236; to later in connection with Israel
as "the Church in the w&#6881388;de&#7471214;ess," and to the New Testament Church of
God.
When David was in the spirit, searching &#6684783;r the Church as it would be
near the end of-the Dark Ages, he call&#6619236; it "an habitation &#6684783;r the mighty
God of Jacob." Also, speaking of the Church as Zion, he declar&#6619236; that "the
Lord hath chosen Zion; he hath desired it for his habitation" (Psalm 132:5,
13) Later; the A&#7340143;stle Paul, &#7471328;ting dir&#6619235;tly to the Church, called it "an
habitation of God through the Spirit." (Ephesi&#6357102;s 2:22}
David once said, "Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord; and the
people whom he hath chosen for his o&#7798894; inhe&#7471209;tance." (Psalm 33:12} And
Paul, speaking of the gathering together in one Body, stated that the
Church has obtained its inheritance in Ch&#7471209;st. (Ephesians 1:10, 11)
On another occasion, David pied with the Lord, _ "Rem&#6619245;ber thy
&#6488175;ngregation (Church}, which thou hast purchas&#6619236; of old; the rod of thine
inheritance, which thou hast r&#6619236;&#6619237;med; this mount Zion, wherein thou hast
dwelt." (Psalm 74:2) Also, he m&#6619246;tion&#6619236; that God had brought His p&#6619247;ple
"even to this mountain (Chur&#6488168; or gove&#7209183;ent), which his right hand had
purcha&#6619351;." (P&#6357215;m 78:54) We &#6357106;e fami&#7077993;ar with Paul's words about "the
Church of God, which he hath purchased with his own blood." (Acts 20:28}
Also, his reference to "the r&#6619236;emption of the purchased possession."
(Ephesians 1:14)
In view of all these witnesses, along &#7798889;th the we&#7077996;-kno&#7798894; fact that the
Church is to be &#7340133;rfect-holy and without blemish (Ephesians 5:27), it does
not s&#6619237;m out of order to speak of it as "The Church, Glorious in Holiness."
All that the Church is, or ever will be, is ours through the mercy of the
Father and the sa&#6488178;ifice of His Son, who took o&#7667826; place. Whatever glory or
holiness we wi&#7077996; ever possess belongs to the Lord. He has commanded us to
be holy. John says the time will &#6488175;me when we will be like Him.
Holiness is a prominent doct&#7471209;ne of the Church because it is promin&#6619246;t in
the Bible. Its importance is clearly s&#6619237;n in the statement that without
holiness no man shall see the Lord. I am a&#6684786;&#6357097;d that we have allowed
holiness to become more of a word than a way of life. We claim holiness, but

MINUTES OF THE 69TH ANNUAL ASSEMBLY 37
there seems to be some things missing &#6684786;om our midst that should be in
operation, according to the New Testament.
A lot is being said about the need for signs and wonders, miracles,
healings, signs &#6684783;llowing believers-all of which were very evident in the
early Church. Many are disturbed about the absence of these things when
the need is so great, but we seem to be wanting them on our terms. I don't
suppose we are thinking of it in this way, but the evidence is v&#7471326; strong
that, as a whole, we are not m&#6619237;ting God's requirements so that He can
con&#6684777;rm His Word.
Our p&#6619247;ple don't seem to be seeking to &#6750309;t close enough to the Lord so the
Holy Ghost can work signs and wonders among us. I believe the wonderful
works of God, as r&#6619235;orded in the Bible, sho&#7667820;d be talked about and preached
about in our se&#7733467;ces. Just ta&#7012565;ng will not bring this to pass. Sometimes it
appe&#6357106;s that we are trying ev&#7471326;thing but the most essential thing to get
God to bless us with si&#6750318;s &#6684783;llowing believers. We encourage &#6684786;eedom in the
Spirit, &#6684777;e&#7471225; se&#7733467;ces, praying and fasting, and good works. All of these are
good if they are sanctioned by the Holy Ghost, but they profit us nothing if
. we use them only to b&#6357106;gain with God. The Lord is the only One Who can
perform miracl&#6619251; and wonders, and since we are not seeing as many as we
·would like to should help us to re&#13238502;e that there is something lac&#7012457;ng.
For several years, we have had reason &#6684783;r great conce&#7471214; about the
prevailing worldiness in the Church. Many are trying to stay close to the
world, yet claiming salvation, and the world is sapping their victory. The
Church is one body, and with so many &#6488175;urting the world, the whole Church
is hindered. We are not close enough to the Lord &#6684783;r Him to work with us as
it is written of the early Church:
"And they went &#6684783;rth, and preached every where, the Lord working with
them, and confirming the word with signs following. Amen." (Mark 16:20)
The Lord wants to bless, but there are too many things betw&#6619237;n us and
Him until we can't reach Him. Instead of moving as far away from the world
as we can, some seem to want to stay as close to it as they can. This doesn't
seem right when the Bible decl&#6357106;es that the friendship of the world is enmity
with God. Read James 4:4:
" ... Know ye not that the &#6684786;iendship of the world is enmity with God?
whosoever there&#6684783;re will be a &#6684786;iend of the world is the enemy of God."
When Jesus was getting ready to pay the price for our redemption, He
said to the disciples, "Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not
as the &#7798895;rld giveth, give I un&#7602287; you ...
"Hereafter I wi&#7077996; not talk much with you: for the prince of this world
cometh, and hath nothing in me." (John 14:27, 30)
Can we sincerely say, "The prince of this world hath nothing in me"? Who
else except the prince of this world ceaselessly tries to k&#6619237;p the children of
God and the Church of God in a lukewarm condition by compromising with
the things of the world? Does the prince of this world have anything in the
Church of God? GOD FORBID! How can the Church be glorious &#6881390; holiness
if the evil· one has anything in us?
Holiness means: Cl&#20709691;ess of heart and life; &#6684786;eedom &#6684786;om sin; the state

38 MINUTES OF THE 69TH ANNUAL ASSEMBLY
of being holy, or dedicated and consecrated to the will of God; sanctified by
the blood of Christ. We are made holy by sanctification as a second de&#6684777;nite
work of grace. Then, instead of relaxing on the borderline of the world, we
&#6357106;e admonished to perf&#6619235;t holiness in the fear of God. We do this by
separating ourselves &#6684786;om everything that is unclean. Paui says:
"Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the
Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you,
"And will be a father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters,
saith the Lord almighty.
"Having there&#6684783;re these promises, dearly beloved, let us cleanse ourselves
&#6684786;om all &#6684777;lthiness of the flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of
God." (2 Corinthi&#6357102;s 6:17, 18; 7:1)
Then, there are the words of the Apostle John so plain that none n&#6619237;d
misunderstand:
"Love not the world, neither the things that &#6357106;e in the world. If any man
love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.
"For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes,
and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.
"And the world passeth away, and the lust ther&#6619247;f: but he that doeth the
will of God abideth &#6684783;r ever." (1 John 2:15-17)
Some seem to be putting their personal interpretations on such terms as
"the world," "the unclean thing," "Filthiness of the flesh and spirit," and
such like. This does not change the truth rightly divided. Could the Lord be
chastening us b&#6619235;ause of His love for His Church?
"For they (our earthly fathers) verily for a few days chastened us after
their o&#7798894; pleasure; but he (God) for our profit, that we might be partakers
of his holiness." (Hebrews 12:10)
In his letters to the church at Corinth, Paul made such statements as:
" .. .it has been declared unto me of you, my brethren ... that there are
contentions among you"; and "it is reported commonly that there is
&#6684783;&#7471214;ication among you ... "; and "I hear that there be divisions among you;
&#6357102;d I partly believe it."
When we hear reports like this today, we should recall that Paul rather
sharply reprov&#6619236; the Church for allo&#7798889;ng these things. We can't afford to
condone sin and reproach in the Church of God. Fo&#7471214;ica&#7602287;rs, users of
tobacco, strong drink or drugs, and those who teach strange doctrines w&#6815849;ch
&#7602280;e Assembly has not approved, should not be allowed to continue such
practices and remain in the Church. These sins, along with other things
unbecoming to holiness, are more than &#6684777;lthiness of the flesh and spirit; they
are open sin. The Lord ca&#7209070;ot bless and be true to His Word &#6357102;d holiness
when He sees these things in His Church.
Many seem to have decided that the Lord is not interested in some of the
outward things which our people were so careful about for so many years. I
am a&#6684786;aid they have decided this on their own, &#6684783;r the Ch&#7667826;ch has not
changed its stand. In spite of much distress over dress and other worldly
fashions, many of our p&#6619247;ple &#6488175;ntinue to follow the world in these things.
&#5439599;me who seem to have the victory may not know that, because of their

MINUTES OF THE 69TH ANNUAL ASSEMBLY 39
worldly styles, they appear shameful even w&#6815849;le their bodies are being
moved about in much the same manner as by the power of the Holy Ghost.
&#5439599;me have even boast&#6619236; of their victory in spite of their conformity to the
world, endeavoring to prove that these things do not matter to the Lord. We
c&#6357102;not af&#6684783;rd to hold on to personal feelings at the expense of the progress
of the Church.
God will have a perf&#6619235;t Church; and, in order to be perfect, it must be
holy. Holiness will come t&#6815858;ough &#7798889;lling obedience to the Word of God. bur
Church leaders will have to be obe&#6553705;ent and free &#6684786;om self-will so they will be
eligible to instruct and discipline others. In our Church of God homes, we
must have adult examples of obedience and loyalty in order to bring up a
generation capable of finishing the work. If this starts in the homes and in
the leadership of the Church, it must &#6684777;rst start in our hearts.
Sanctified and holy p&#6619247;ple obey &#6684786;om the heart because they love the
Lord. The Church does not operate by legislation, nor by &#6684783;rced obedience.
We cannot &#6684783;rce people to obey the teac&#6881494;gs of the Bible and the Church;
however, we must help them to understand that certain things cannot be
done and them remain in the Church. We want everybody to be saved and
members of the Body of Christ, but a lar&#6750309; membership and a good showing
on our r&#6619235;ords will m&#6619233;n very &#7077993;ttle if the Lord can't confirm His Word
because of sin and wrongdoing among us.
Faith must be built up in the Lord and His Word, without private
interpretations, The Holy Ghost inspired the Word, and He knows the will
of the Father. He will not confirm personal opinions contrary to the inspired
Word. He tries to work in our midst, but some d.o not have the fear of God.
He will work through those who will draw close enough &#6684783;r Him to use, and
who will not take the glory that belongs to Him. If we live worthy to be
trusted with the gifts of the Spi&#7471209;t, God will manifest them through us. We
will have to struggle along without them being operated unless we are
willing to h&#7667821;ble ourselves, as the Holy Ghost so often admonishes us to
do, and let the glo&#7471225; of God's holiness be seen in us.
Thous&#6357102;ds of us love the re&#6357100; &#7340143;wer of God, with shouting, dancing, and
rejoicing in the Spirit. We love to see p&#6619247;ple moved by that &#7340143;wer that
cannot be imitat&#6619236;. We cannot af&#6684783;rd to stop. We need signs, wonders, and
miracles. We n&#6619337; the kind of power that delivers people from sin, sickness,
disease, af&#6684780;ictions, demon possession, &#6357102;d all &#7012457;nds of oppression. It &#7798889;ll
take more than showers of refreshing. When this mighty delivering power
begins to come, the showers will t&#7667826;n into mighty rains and rivers!
Hallelujah!
THE CHILDREN OF THE KINGDOM
Since all bo&#7471214;-again believers are "call&#6619236; to be saints" (1 Corinthians 1:2),
we somet&#6881389;es refer to these children of God who are not yet in the Church as
"kingdom saints," meaning that all children of God &#6357106;e bo&#7471214; into the
kingdom of God, but not into the Church of God. All of our people should be
familiar with o&#7667826; teaching that members must be added &#7602287; the Church by
covenant.

40 MINUTES OF THE 6&#3735636;H ANNUAL ASSEMBLY
All through the years we have heard of good p&#6619247;ple co&#7143529;ng to our services
for awhile, then leaving because they were made to believe that we teach
that nobody is saved unless they are with us. In some instances, this could
come a&#6422639;ut t&#7471319;ugh our teaching that God will gather all of His sh&#6619237;p into
one fold before Jesus comes. This is so clear in the Scriptures that we have
to teach it if we accept the whole Bible as the Word of God. It is not that
way yet; and if we are to help these people to walk in the light of the t&#7471221;th,
we must be mo&#7471205; careful to make o&#7667826; teaching clear.
Every member of the Church today was first a kingdom saint. The bo&#7471214;
again experience is n&#6619235;essary to make one eli&#6750313;ble for members&#6815849;p in the
Church. &#5439599;me joined the Church very shortly after they were sav&#6619236;, but for
that short time they were kingdom saints outside the Church. Thousands of
our members were saved, sancti&#6684777;ed, and bapt&#6881402;&#6619236; with the Holy Ghost with
the initial evid&#6619246;&#6488165; of s&#7340133;aking in other tongues as the Spi&#7471209;t gave the
utterance through the e&#6684774;orts of some denomination. They were already
walking so close to the Lord that He was able to lead and guide them into
the truth con&#20840769;g His Church.
We must never leave the impression with these kingdom saints that we
t&#6815849;nk we are better than they. Some who come into the Church from a
denomination that teaches sound doctrine, as far as it has the &#7077993;ght, may be
closer &#7602287; the Lord th&#6357102; others who have b&#6619237;n in the Church many years, but
have not been as careful to grow in grace and in the knowl&#6619236;ge of our Lord
and Saviour Jesus Christ as they should.
Many denominations and individuals are doing a great work, and we
should recognize the value of their effo&#7471220;s. Some of them are getting more
&#7340133;ople sav&#6619236; than we are, because it must be admitted that our teaching on
the one Church according to proph&#6619235;y has not yet drawn the multitudes· to
us, although many more are attending o&#7667826; services than in the past. Some
&#6750322;oups have local churches with m&#6619245;berships of many hundreds, and even
thousands atten&#6553705;ng their Sunday School &#6357102;d worship se&#7471222;ices. They
preach the saving grace of God, and some preach the full plan of salvation.
&#5439599;me have large &#6357102;d strong works in several mission &#6684777;elds &#6357106;ound the
world. They work just as hard as we do to reach others. It is not unusual to
read si&#6750318;s and slogans indicating that they have all the world and ev&#6619250;y
creature as th&#6619241;r goals. Somet&#6881389;es we wonder how we will ever &#6684789;&#6684885;ll the
world-wide commission which Christ gave to the Church. We must
acknowledge that God is using many others &#7602287; help us in this s&#6619237;m&#6881390;gly
&#6881389;possible task. Notice what Jesus told His disciples:
"And he that reapeth receiveth wages, and gath&#6619250;eth &#14352603;t unto &#7077993;fe
ete&#7471214;al: that both he that soweth and he that reapeth may rejoice together.
'' And herein is that saying true, One soweth, &#6357102;d another reapeth.
"I sent you &#7602287; reap that whereon ye bestowed no labour: other men
laboured, and ye are enter&#6619236; into their labours.'' (John 4:36-38)
We may not &#7012462;ow all of the ways by which the Lord will bring about the
&#6750322;eat in&#6684780;ow, but we &#7012462;ow that it will be by the moving of the Holy Ghost.
We have already s&#6619237;n what we be&#7077993;eve &#7602287; be the be&#20840773;gs of this mighty
move of God. &#5439599;me organizations with several loc&#6357100; churches have joined

MINUTES OF THE 69TH ANNUAL ASSEMBLY 41
the Church of God. Some of th&#6619251;e_ had several thousand p&#6619247;ple. This means
that these were walking in the light of God's Word and were able to dis&#13959379;
the wor&#7012457;ng of the Holy Ghost. They were already teaching everything in
the way of doct&#7471209;ne just like the Church teaches, with the exception of a few
things which they could readily accept as soon as they were shown these
t&#6815849;ngs in the Scriptures.
These p&#6619247;ple being eligible &#6684783;r membership in the Church is proof that
they had been doing a work that was pleasing to the Lord before they knew
about the Church of God. Notice a passage in which Jesus speaks on this
subject:
"And John answered and said, Master, we saw one casting out devils in
thy name; and we forbade him, b&#6619235;ause he followeth not with us.
"And Jesus said unto him, forbid him not: &#6684783;r he that is not against us is
&#6684783;r us." (Luke 9:49, 60)
We know that there are f&#6357100;se prophets in the world who profess to do
many things in the Lord's name. It is up to us to know the difference by the
&#7798889;tness of the Holy Ghost. We have seen p&#6619247;ple who were converted to the
evange&#7077993;st who came their way. They may have thought that they were
saved; but when the evangelist left, th&#6619257; were not interested in what other
ministers had to say. They immediately went back to their old life of sin, but
they may have kept up a profession. These are not eligible for membership
in the Ch&#7667826;ch, &#6684783;r they were not children of the kingdom. We cannot afford
to offend good p&#6619247;ple, and tum them away from us by intimating that they
&#6357106;e not children of God, or children of the kingdom.
Those who love and serve the Lord must be shown love, and as much
fellows&#6815849;p as we can give them. This does not mean that we are to agree with
them in things they do not understand; but we &#6357106;e supposed to do all we can
to teach them, and to lead them into the Church of the living God. We can
do this by showing a good, sweet spirit toward them, and by being gentle in
our teaching them con&#13828414;ng the things they have not had opportunity to
le&#7471311;. We can lead them by showing our-zeal for the mission of the Church of
God and how happy we are in the Church. It is not so n&#6619235;essary to be
constantly comparing the Church with their organizations. If we truly love
the Church and are happy to be members, they will soon see t&#6815849;s, w&#6815849;ch
c&#6357102;not be hid. Ahnost before we &#7012462;ow it, they &#14876885; begin inquiring their way
to Zion with their faces thithe&#7471223;ard, as the prophet has said.
WE MUST PREACH A BALANCED MESSAGE
The Church of God cannot have creeds and articles of faith to set forth her
be&#7077993;efs &#6357102;d teachings, because we must take the whole Bible as the Word of
God. The "Twenty-nine Important Bible Truths" must not be thought of as
"articles of faith," or a ''d&#6619235;laration of faith,'' or any formal statement of our
be&#7077993;efs such as most organizations have as a basis &#6684783;r their existence.
Quoting the introductory paragraph of our tract:
"These twenty-nine vital points of New Testament doctr&#6881390;e are some of the
prominent teachings of the Church of God of Prophecy. These teachings are

42 MINUTES OF THE 69TH ANNUAL ASSEMBLY
� based on the S&#6488178;iptures; they were taught and practiced by the early
Church; and they have b&#6619237;n searched out in these last days by godly men
not conce&#7471214;ed with their own opinions. However, the Church does not make
a 'hobby horse' of any one teaching or group of teachings but accepts the
whole Bible rightly divided, with the New Testament as the only rule of
gove&#7209183;ent and discipline.''
it is clearly stated that these are only some of the vital points of doctrine
or prominent teachings of the Bible. They are made prominent only because
the Bible makes them prominent, and because they have b&#6619237;n points of
controversy among the denominations through the years. We call attention
to them only to show that we hold to the Bible's teaching in all things.
Again I would like to stress that there is no "creed" nor "articles of faith"
considered more important than the rest of God's Word. I notice that many
of our people, even some of our ministers, refer to these as "the twenty-nine
teachings of the Church." We should not spe&#6357099; nor th&#6881390;k of these in this
manner. It is contradictory to our decl&#6357106;ation that we are the Church of God
because we accept and practice the whole Bible.
This inaccurate reference to these twenty-nine Bible truths has also
tended &#7602287; draw a sort of line between these prominent doctrines and our
"Advice to Members." It is a co&#7143533;on argument that one is the teachings of
the Church, while the other is only advice and does not have to be adhered
to. Our "Advice to Members" is as sta&#7667822;chly grounded on Bible truth as
anything else that we teach. The "Advice to Members" is not my subject
here, but it is an excellent illustration, and we would do well to stop making
a difference in the things we teach, and begin promoting a balanced
message, which requires the whole Bible to make it so.
From time to time individuals or groups have allowed themselves to
become somewhat "c&#7471315;ied away" on some particular teac&#6815849;ng of the
&#5439587;riptures. When this happens, that one thing becomes an obsession with
them, &#6357102;d they generally get into extremes which cannot be proven by the
Bible. The early Church was troubled with this problem, and history shows
that settlements were almost always a matter of compromise, or the
conclusions of men's &#6881499;ds. The fact that some of these same th&#6881390;gs have
come up again &#6357102;d again is suf&#6684777;cient proof that they were not actually
settled. In most cases, it was b&#6619235;ause they were trying to know more about
those particular things than God had seen &#6684777;t to reveal in His Word.
Recently I have heard of two or thr&#6619237; Scriptural doctrines w&#6815849;ch seem to
have been given more attention than the Bible will veri&#6684793;. I have noticed
that this never edifies, but rather causes con&#6684789;sion. When one teaching is
denied or carried to _extremes, it usually becomes necessary to do the s&#6357101;e
with other teac&#6815849;ngs in order to make them seem to be in harmony. Then
most other areas of truth will suffer neglect. I say again, the Church of God
message is a balanced message.
Wherever there is a n&#6619235;essity to rightly divide the Word of t&#7471221;th, it is the
duty of the General Assembly. Some seem hard to please by Assembly
decisions. Sometimes the teachings that the Assembly has spoken out on

MINUTES OF THE 69TH ANNUAL ASSEMBLY 43
are the ones that are distorted in an ef&#6684783;rt to give expl&#6357102;ations not based on
the Scriptures; explanations which &#6357106;e only conjecture, or p&#7471209;vate
interpretation. I believe by close observation we wi&#7077996; find that the things
which b&#6619235;ome an obsession, or as we sometimes say make a "hobby" of, are
things that would have practically noth&#6881390;g to do with the com&#7143529;ssion of the
Church at this time, and they would benefit us little if any even if we could
know more about them than has been given to us.,
By way of example, the Church prayed and se&#6357106;ched the Scriptures &#6684783;r
several years t&#7471225;ing to reach the Bible meaning of adulte&#7471225; and fo&#7471214;ication.
Undoubtedly the Church suffered some unn&#6619235;essary confusion and i&#7077996;
feelings on the p&#6357106;t of some because there were those who s&#6619237;med
determ&#6881390;ed to force the matter to a premature conclusion. In due season, the
Lord clearly revealed His &#7798889;ll, which was accepted by the Assembly with
great victo&#7471225; and confirmation of the Holy Ghost. The amazing thing is that
we had been so close to the same decision for several years; but, because of
personal opinions which some refused to give up, the truth had b&#6619237;n
delayed.
We must take the Bible just as it reads. The perfect will of God is right in
the Scriptures. We do not, and must not, make rules or laws contrary to the
Bible. Most things n&#6619235;essary for us to know can be understood by taking
them just as they read-nothing added, nothing &#6881489;inished. There is
trouble when some are not willing to conform to what is &#7798898;itten, but they
try to make the Word a&#6750322;ee with what they want to do or believe.
When the Assembly has not spoken on issues which are thought to be
controversial, we should limit our remarks on those issues to what the Bible
says. If the Church finds that the Bible is not clearly understood; the
Assembly will take up the matter. Until it does, it is the responsibility of
every member to re&#6684786;ain from speaking with undue authority on that
particular thing. Then, when the Assembly speaks, its voice should be
respected and obeyed, regar&#6553708;ess of p&#6619250;sonal f&#6619237;lings.
Some seem to have the impression that our Assembly Minutes are new
rules and man-made laws. Some insist that many things be discussed and
made a matter of record in the Minutes. Others have a tendency to ignore
that which is already on record. This indicates that the Minutes are not
&#7667822;derstood for what they really are. In the 17th Assembly in 1922, the
General Overs&#6619237;r explained:
"The Minutes of the Assembly never have been regarded as laws to &#6684783;llow
until quite recently. They are only regarded as records showing what had
been dug out of the Book, and the Book was still our law Book, &#6357102;d, thank
God; it is still g&#7274607;d enough today. What would it be for a judicial body or
courts of justice to search out the laws in particular cases and make a record
of all they &#6684783;und and car&#7471225; it off as the law book when it was merely a record
of their findings! No, the minutes of our Assemblies ·are not to be considered
as laws, but only records of our &#6684777;ndings. We must cling to the blessed old
Book for our laws if we keep the favor of God.''
This statement was made when the Church was faced wit4 a constitution

&#3407924; MINUTES OF THE 69TH ANNUAL ASSEMBLY
which threaten&#6619236; to destroy every .Biblical principle of th&#6619247;cratic
gove&#7209183;ent. It was not intend&#6619236; to demean the importance of the Minutes,
nor to encourage disobedience to the Assembly's recommendations, but
rather to make s&#7667826;e that things were not done and r&#6619235;orded that would be a
departure &#6684786;om the Bible. For some, the temptation was strong to get t&#6815849;ngs
on record that would give legal ground to &#7667822;scriptural practices. This would
be changing the Word of God, and wo&#7667820;d be consid&#6619250;ed laws of men. I
repeat, we will do well to stick to the Bible just as it reads; then it wi&#7077996; not be
so necessary to make records of things that the Lord has already made
plain.
In conclusion, it may be in ord&#6619250; to say that anyone who realizes that he is
at variance with the clearly stated Word of God, or the r&#6619235;ommendations of
the Ass&#6619245;bly, should &#6750319; on his &#6684769;ce before the Lord and pray and cry until
that g&#7274607;d sweet sp&#6881394;it of humble submission and obedience bathes his very
he&#6357106;t and soul. When he reaches that point, it will not be difficult to preach
and teach a balanced message, waiting upon the Lord &#6684783;r those things not
revealed as yet.
OUR WONDERFUL MINISTERS
I would like to honor our wonderful Church of God ministers who work so
hard with hea&#7733369; responsibilities that many of us do not realize. They are not
laboring for honor; neither are they asking &#6684783;r it, but the Bible teaches that
we sho&#7667820;d give honor to whom honor is due.
Our regularly licens&#6619236; ministers are Bishops, Deacons, and Evangelists.
We have recently begun to certify lay ministers, as well as teachers who f&#6619237;l
a special call to teach and &#6357106;e wi&#13959386;g to m&#6619237;t certain quali&#6684777;cations.
There are various types of ministry in the Church. These are st4te and
national overseers, dist&#7471209;ct overseers, pastors, auxiliary leaders, teach&#6619250;s,
and others. Each position represents a very important service for the
Church, and those who serve are to be commended. Generally they are
f&#14352597;lling a calling, and they are working in the fear of God. When they are
praying and seeking the Lord's will conce&#7471214;ing their work, they may not do
just as others think they should. The man in the yoke f&#6619237;ls its weight, and it
is always better to pray &#6684783;r the one under responsibility than to be too quick
to judge.
Our overseers have a burden for the work under their supervision. This
not only applies to the established churches, but even more so to the
unreach&#6619236; territory, where they know that the people are &#7798889;thout the
message the Church has to give. An overseer has many decisions to make.
He likes to please his p&#6619247;ple if he can, but his first duty is to please the Lord.
Much of the same can be said of the pastors, though their area of
responsibility is more limited. The greatest portion of the work of the
Church is done in our local churches. The pastor has many things to
promote, and the General Church must depend largely upon the successful
labors of the pastors and their flocks. They and their band leaders are closer
&#7602287; the members than &#6357102;yone else. When a member n&#6619337;s encouragement,
advice, or healing, the pastor is usually the first to be called. This is the way

MINUTES OF THE 69TH ANNUAL ASSEMBLY 45
it should be, and the pastor desires his members to call him so that he can
minister to their needs. We should honor and respect our pastors, and we
should pray for them instead of criticizing them when everything is not done
just as we think it should.
As a rule, the evangelists spend most of their time preaching the gospel of
the saving grace of God, and trying to persuade souls to forsake sin and be
saved. They pray much in the altar, helping s&#6619237;kers pray unt&#6881388; they are
sancti&#6684777;ed and receive the baptism of the Holy Ghost. They have to travel
much, and they do not know just what their &#6881492;ances will be. Many members
in the local churches do not realize this. Unless the pastor or &#6684777;nance
committee has their welfare at heart, they may be laboring by faith more
than many of our other ministers.
The entire ministry shares in the shepherding of the sheep in some way.
Even though the pastors are closest to them, the ev&#6357102;gelists help to incr&#6619233;se
the flocks, and the overs&#6619237;rs are constantly wor&#7012457;ng to broaden the past&#7667826;es
and to &#6488175;-ordinate a&#7077996; efforts for the good of the larger &#6684780;ock on the state or
national level.
Many of our ministers manifest the spirit of Paul when he said, "And I
&#7798889;ll very gladly spend and be spent &#6684783;r you; though the more abundantly I
love you, the less I be loved." (2 Corinthi&#6357102;s 12:15) They have to be
considerate of others, even when they receive little consideration. They
counted the cost before they answered the call to preach. When they filled in
their examination certi&#6684777;cates &#6684783;r &#7077993;censes, they were required to be so they
could honestly say they were &#6684786;ee from self-will. Their ministering is not
merely duties, but they love souls.
Earli&#6619250; this year sp&#6488270;al honor was given to our older mi&#7209065;sters and
members du&#7471209;&#7209063; "Senior Citizens Month." Much was said about the
ministers who have given their best years to the work of the Church of God.
The sacri&#6684777;ces of the lean, hard years were called to mind, along with the
persecutions in those years when holiness and speaking in tongues were
thought a reproach by thousands. It took this to bring the Ch&#7667826;ch where it
is today, and none of our &#7143529;nisters re&#6750322;et any su&#6684774;ering they did for this
cause.
It is somewhat different today, but the Lord's ministers are constantly
being tested by the powerful enemy of God. Prosperity may be a more
dangerous test &#6684783;r the ministry of our day. When reading the accounts of the
Words of Jesus to the seven churches of Asia, as given to John the
Revelator, we observe that most of the churches had some in their midst
who were not doing right. The pastors were admonished to take care of their
.responsibilities to these members. The Church at Laodicea seemed to be in
the most critical condition, and the Lord spoke to the whole ch&#7667826;ch as if all
were sharing in the same gu&#6881388;t. It was a lukew&#7471310; church, and the cause
seemed to be mat&#6619250;ial prosperity. Notice the words from Revelation 3: 17-19:
"Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with g&#7274607;ds, and have n&#6619237;d
of nothing; and &#7012462;owest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and
&#7340143;or, &#6357102;d blind, and naked;
"I counsel th&#6619237; to buy of me &#6750319;ld tri&#6619236; in the &#6684777;re, that thou mayest be

46 MINUTES OF THE 69TH ANNUAL ASSEMBLY
rich; and white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed, and that the sh&#6357101;e of
thy nakedness do not appear; and anoint thine eyes with eyesalve, that thou
mayest see.
"As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous there&#6684783;re, and
repent."
Notice that all the messages were dir&#6619235;ted to the pastors of the churches.
We can see the great weight of responsibility upon the ministry today, as
well as in former years.
There is little reason for the ministry of any era to criticize those of
&#6357102;other &#7340133;riod. All have had and still have their problems. Each have had
the need of prayers for one another. It is very possible that the greatest
work is yet to be done. This will call for a ministry such as never be&#6684783;re.
There may have been failures in the past, but th&#6619250;e will be no room for
failures in the perfection process the last hour be&#6684783;re the cry is made,
"Behold, the bridegroom cometh! Go ye out to m&#6619237;t Him!"
If this should be in our day, the ministers of this day will do their part.
There is no doubt that the cry wi&#7077996; be made and the Church will be ready.
Great preparations are being made, and though there may be some
differences of opinion, all of this must fade away as the seriousness of the
hour calls us away from the less important matters and demands that we be
overs&#6619237;rs, pastors, and evangelists after God's own heart. Hallelujah!
. Ministers, let us say together, with the Apostle Paul-"I count not
myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things
which are behind, &#6357102;d reaching &#6684783;rth unto those things which are before, I
press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ
Jesus." (Philipians 3:13, 14)
VOLUNTEER TEAMS IN NEW FIELDS
Church of God people have always been zealous according to the
Script&#7667826;es. When the Prophet Isaiah wrote of the birth of Christ-the
ministry He was to f&#21430593;, and the Gove&#7471214;ment He was to establish, Is&#6357097;ah
conclud&#6619236; by saying, "The zeal of the Lord of hosts will perform this."
(Isaiah 9:7)
The same prophet &#7798898;ote about certain conditions among the people of
God, and declared that the Lord was displeased and set about putting
t&#6815849;ngs in order. In doing this, it is said that the Lord "was clad with zeal as
a cloke."
" ... Judgm&#6619246;t is t&#7471331;ed away backward, and justice standeth af&#6357106; o&#6684774;:
&#6684783;r truth is fallen in the str&#6619237;t, and eq&#7667817;ty cannot enter.
"Yea, truth faileth; and he that dep&#6357106;teth &#6684786;om evil maketh himse&#7077990; a
prey: and the Lord saw it, &#6357102;d it displeased him that there was no
judgment.
"And he saw that there was no m&#6357102;, and wondered that there was no
intercessor: therefore his arm brought salvation unto him; and his
right&#6619247;usness, it sustained him.
"For he put on right&#6619247;usness as. a breastplate, and an he&#7077997;et of salvation
upon his head; and he put on the garments of vengeance for clothing, and

MINUTES OF THE 69TH ANNUAL ASSEMBLY 47
was clad with zeal as a cloke. (Isaiah 59: 14-17)
This is sp&#6619233;&#6881497;g of Christ acting by the will of the Father. After
ministering to His own for thr&#6619237; and a half years, and being grieved over
their substitution of tradition &#6684783;r truth, He rode into Jerusalem on a donkey,
" ... went into the temple, and began to cast out them that sold therein, and
them that bought;
"Saying unto them, it is written, My house is the house of prayer: but ye
have made it a den of t&#6815849;eves." (Luke 19:45, 46)
On an earlier occasion of cleansing the temple, it is stated, "And his
disciples remembered that it was written, The zeal of thine house hath eaten
me up." (John 2:17)
His displeasure over the disrespect &#6684783;r the temple ce&#21037385;y re&#6684780;ected His
greater displeasure over the irreverance for the spiritual house, or the
religious attitudes that had invaded the ranks of the chosen of God. His zeal
compell&#6619236; Him to express His displeasure, which help&#6619236; His disciples to
identify Him in proph&#6619235;y.
The Lord's zeal is an active zeal. It demands per&#6684783;&#7471213;ance. It is a zeal that
is accor&#6553705;ng to knowledge, not just beating the air. Jesus knew what the
Father had sent Him to do, and He was constantly busy doing it. Much.of
the time when He was teaching His disciples, He used positive action. He
did the actual work while the l&#14090447;ers looked on. When He first sent them
out alone, He called for accomplishment: "And as ye go, preach, saying, The
kingdom of heaven is at hand. Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the
dead, cast out devils: &#6684786;eely ye have received, fr&#6619237;ly give." (Matthew 10:7,
8)
He knew it was time &#6684783;r them to go, and they had t&#6357100;ked about it long
enough. I &#6357101; wondering about us. Is it time &#6684783;r less talk &#6357102;d more action?
What has been the purpose of all of our training progr&#6357101;s for a number of
years? I cannot believe that there is enough going &#6357102;d accomplishing. What
have we been talking about? We have seen some zeal manifested, but so
much is just among ourselves. This kind of zeal can accomplish only so
much. If we don't go into all the world with it, it is bound to grow cold and
die.
In some instances, we may have talked so long that we have gotten onto
sidelines. It is possible that some have forgotten what the Lord has
commissioned the Church to do and have become entangled in t&#7274607; much
theology and criticism of the established doctrine. I think it is time to put
such as this aside and "Go ye into all the world, and preach the gos&#7340133;l to
every creature" as Jesus told us to do.
If you really intend to go, it would be well to let it be &#7012462;own that you are
ready. As in the case of the young prophet Isaiah, if they have humbled and
consecrated themselves, and been purg&#6619236; with coals &#6684786;om the alt&#6357106; of God,
the Church sho&#7667820;d only have to ask: "Whom shall I send, and who will go
&#6684783;r us?" We should have a mighty host, &#6684777;lled with the Holy Ghost, bubbling
with the zeal of the Lord of hosts, ready with 'the answer, "Here am I; send
me.''
If one seriously intends to go, there is nothing wrong in volunteering.

&#3407928; MINUTES OF THE 6&#3735636;H ANNUAL ASSEMBLY
Every li&#6488165;nsed minister is authorized to go and preach the gos&#7340133;l. It is not
necessary to wait &#6684783;r an appointment. Of course, the overs&#6619237;r should know
what ev&#6619250;y worker in his-territo&#7471225; is doing. If a minister is living right &#6357102;d
will abide by the teachings &#6357102;d practices of the General Assembly, no
overs&#6619237;r will obj&#6619235;t to this kind of volunt&#6619237;r service.
Most times it is n&#6619235;essary to begin one's minist&#7471225; on a small scale. A
hospital minist&#7471225; is a great opportunity to lea&#7471214; compassion, to witness for
the Lord, &#7602287; pray for p&#6619247;ple's n&#6619237;ds, and to show a good Chris&#7602281;an spi&#7471209;t.
Person-to-person witnessing, or helping the pas&#7602287;r to follow up contacts in
the community will enable a young minister &#7602287; gain valuable experience.
Conducting prayer meetings or Bible studies often provides openings &#6684783;r a
wider ministry.
I am especially interested in our workers going into new &#6684777;elds. The
pastors are to f&#6619237;d the established &#6684780;ocks. Sometimes these pastors and their
ch&#7667826;ches can work out another church nearby; but what about the f&#6357106;-away
places that have not b&#6619237;n touched with the Church of God message? It looks
as though somebody must leave home and get these u&#7209074;eached upon their
hearts.
It has b&#6619237;n practiced-to go into a new town and rent a building and expect
the p&#6619247;ple to come &#7602287; our announced m&#6619237;tings. This has worked well in some
instances, but I believe we will have to agree that this method fails more
often than it succ&#6619237;ds. I would like &#7602287; suggest a different approach to our
new-&#6684777;eld work.
Sup&#7340143;se we go into a new &#6357106;ea, l&#7274607;k for prospects by making some
contacts, take census, and try to arr&#6357102;ge prayer meetings in new homes.
Stir up some interest, gain the con&#6684777;dence of a group of people, th&#6619246; let them
help plan and a&#7471218;ange &#6684783;r a place of worship, a revival or the opening of a
mission. &#5439599;metimes it does more g&#7274607;d to talk with people heart to heart
than to preach to them at the beginning. Praying with them in their homes
might mean &#3211405;0re th&#6357102; starting public s&#6619250;vices &#7274723; s&#7274607;n. A real
demonstration of personal interest in their spiritual welfare might win th&#6619241;r
&#6488175;n&#6684777;dence much more &#7471205;adily than public services in which it could s&#6619237;m to
them that we are more interested in building up something &#6684783;r ourselv&#6619251;.
When such a proj&#6619235;t is star&#6619352;, it should be pursu&#6619236; diligently· and
regularly until we &#6357106;e &#6684789;lly satis&#6684777;ed whether the prosp&#6488281;s are good enough
to try to establish a church. Haph&#6357114;ard e&#6684774;orts with only occasional interest
will not convince people that we are interested in them. I am stressing the
need for conse&#6488178;ated vol&#7667822;teers who are s&#7667826;e they must take the gospel and
the Church message to others. This requires d&#6619236;icat&#6619236; workers, not just
&#6684783;rmal organization.
The last few years Youth Li&#6684773; Teams have b&#6619237;n organized. While these
have operat&#6619236; mostly in the interest of the local churches, they have done
much good. Could we have volunt&#6619237;r teams who would go into new &#6684777;elds
and do the t&#7340254; of work I have described? It might require some
readjus&#7602285;ent; such as moving into these places, &#6357102;d getting a job &#6684783;r
support, but the work of the gospel would be their m&#6357097;n obj&#6619235;tive.
This might &#6619352;m a bit drastic to some, but it is not a new idea. I am sure

MINUTES OF THE 69TH ANNUAL ASSEMBLY 49
that many of our older ministers &#6357101;ong us could testi&#6684793; to having done this
&#7012457;nd of work in the past. They probably &#6553705;dn't call it volunteer te&#6357101; work,
but the objective was the same. The team was probably a faithful, zealous
minister and his family; but they went by faith and did their best for God
and His Church. Many of o&#7667826; present flourishing ch&#7667826;ches were be&#6750325;n in
this way.
Today there &#6357106;e hundreds of zealous young couples who f&#6619237;l the call of
God. When opportunity is given for consecration, they are in the altar
s&#6619237;king God for guidance. There comes a time when th&#6619257; must launch out.
We can only d&#6619236;icate ourselves so far, and the rest must be done after we get
under the load.
I am stirred about getting the Church message into more new fields!
Those who feel the call cannot afford to t&#6357100;k their zeal away. You &#7798889;ll have to
direct that zeal where it will get the work done. If a few will lead the way,
others will be encouraged to follow. It is still true that the zeal of the Lord of
hosts &#6881507;l perform this.
OUR HEADQUARTERS COMPLEX
The 61st Annual Assembly in 1966 r&#6619235;ommended the appointment of a
Tabe&#7471214;acle Com&#7143529;ttee to s&#7667826;vey possibilities for relocating the facilities for
our Annual Assemb&#7077993;es in the Cleveland area. The Committee was
appointed in that Assembly.
A forty-one acre tract of land was located on North Keith Street w&#6815849;ch
seemed adaptable to our needs and a Headquarters Complex was discussed.
When the White Wing Pub&#7077993;shing House was destroyed by fire in February,
1967, it s&#6619237;med good to the General Properties Committee to take an option
on this property pending a decision of the next Assembly.
The 62nd Annual Assembly recommended that the property be purchased
&#6684783;r the purpose of relocating our General Headquarters buildings. Because
of the urgent n&#6619237;d, it was recommended and approved that a new White
Wing Publishing House be the first structure of the complex. The
publishing house was built and occupied by March, 1969.
Between the 64th and 65th Assemb&#7077993;es, our Communications Center
property was purchased, which is adjacent to the Headquarters Complex
property on three sides.
Our present Assembly Tabe&#7471214;acle was constructed where our 1972
Assembly convened. This leaves only the building for the Headquarters
Offices to complete the proposed complex.
An artist's drawing by C. C. Mayes has been on display in the Tabernacle
lobby during this Assembly. This is only a tentative drawing, and it is
subject to adjustment. The World Headquarters Construction Committee
has met to review the prospects &#6684783;r developing an office build&#6881390;g. The
Committee needs some commitment from this Assembly conce&#7209179;ng the
time schedule des&#6881394;ed &#6684783;r this project. Perhaps the Questions and Subj&#6619235;ts
Committee can bring a recommendation for consideration.

50 MINUTES OF THE 69TH ANNUAL ASSEMBLY
THE WHITE WING MESSENGER
The &#6684777;rst issue of the White Wing Messenger was dated September 15,
1923. For almost 51 ye&#6357106;s this "little minister" has carried the message of
Jesus Christ and the last-days Church into thousands of homes &#6357106;ound the
world. Every issue has been filled with messages, articles of inspiration and
progress reports of God's Church. In some areas, it is probably the only
source of contact its readers have with the Church of God.
The &#6684777;rst issue was printed with borrowed capital, and the caption on the
inside of the first issue read: "Published every two weeks D. V." (Latin for
"God willing"); since that first publication by faith, the White Wing
Messenger has gone forth regularly-at &#6684777;rst bi-weekly, then weekly, bi
w&#6619237;kly for one year, and now each week. Those of us who read it f&#6619237;l that we
cannot do without it.
We &#6357106;e in the final days of a subscription drive in an effort to increase the
circulation of our paper. We desire each of o&#7667826; church homes r&#6619235;eive the
White Wing Messenger. It would be wonderful if everyone in this assembly
would be a subscriber be&#6684783;re you leave. If you are receiving the paper, it
would be good to send a gift subscription to someone. All public libraries,
college &#6357102;d university libraries should receive this paper. Doctor's offices
and other places where the public has to wait are likely places for its
message to be read. New families attending our local churches should
receive it, and you could be a blessing to them in this manner. The spirit of
our p&#6619247;ple as expressed in that first issue is still ma&#7209065;&#6684773;sted today. That
issue said, "Many have expressed their desire to help in some way to get its
ch&#6619237;ring messages into thousands of homes.'' Every minister should receive
the Church paper in order to k&#6619237;p abreast of the Church.
For persons who qualify, the Self-Denial Fund is available to assist them
in receiving the paper. Nearly 2,000 of our subscribers were helped &#6684786;om the
Self-Denial Fund this past year. Outreach Sunday in June of each year is set
aside to raise funds for the Self-Denial Fund and the White Wing Publishing
House. The response t&#6815849;s year was outstand&#6881390;g with $10,021.00. Every
church is encouraged to participate in Outreach 1975. We are thankful that
the fund is available to help the n&#6619237;dy, but a&#7077996; who are financially able
should be paid subscribers.
The subscription price for fifty issues is only $4.50 cash or $5.00 charge. It
has been suggested that a reduced subscription rate &#6684783;r two or three-year
subscriptions might be incentive to subscribe for longer periods. Perhaps
the Ways and Means Committee will give this consideration and bring a
r&#6619235;ommendation before this assembly
The White Wing Publis&#6815849;ng House has a subscription worker at its
display in the tabernacle lobby at the door of aisle 7. There are several
subscription workers who will be happy to take your subscription during
this assembly.
TOMLINSON COLLEGE
There has been much &#6553705;scussion recently on how our Church college can
best serve the interests of the Church. When the college was first

MINUTES OF THE 69TH ANNUAL ASSEMBLY 51
estab&#7077993;shed, it was decided that it would begin as a two-year liberal a&#7471220;s
junior college, offering strong emphasis in Bible and Christian Education.
Any new endeavor introduced into the Church is r&#6619235;eived with some
caution. This is wisdom because experience has taught us to weigh the
merits and virtues of anything affecting the entire membership.
Our college is eight years old, and there are still reservations in the minds
of some. It is evident that the educational arm of the Church cannot be
successful unless it has the wholehearted support of the entire body.
Those directly involved in the college desire that it serve the best interest
of the whole Church. How this can be done may still be debatable, but we are
s&#6619237;king the answer. Some feel that the college will best serve the Church by
offering a two-year liberal arts curriculum, as we are now. The students can
prepare for a secular career while receiving the spiritual in&#6684780;uence and
instruction of the Church. They can transfer to &#6815849;gher institutes of le&#13566171;ng
to complete their training. Those who f&#6619237;l a definite call of God to the
ministry of music, teaching, or preaching could concentrate on courses in
Bible and Christian Education which are being offered.
By continuing the liberal &#6357106;ts route, the college would b&#6619235;ome fully
accredited, and later expand into a four-year liberal arts college, maintaining
strong Bible, Christian Education, and Music Departments. This would
prepare our people for service to God and the Church, as well as training &#6684783;r
a secular career with a strong back&#6750322;ound of Church teaching and Christian
fellowship.
Others seem to feel that Tomlinson College should be a Bible College
without the liberal arts curriculum. They feel it could best serve the Church
by offering strong emphasis on the Bible, Christian Education, and Music to
those who are planning to serve the Lord and the Church in those areas and
do not plan to transfer for further training to another institute.
There are some virtues in each of these pro&#6750322;ams. The liberal arts plan
o&#6684774;ers college privileges to all, in a Christian and Church atmosphere. The
Bible College pl&#6357102; would serve only those interested in the ministry or some
other area of Christian service. Some believe that this would make the
enrollment less; however, the number served would be secondary to the best
interests of the Church.
It is suggested that an extension or correspondence division could be set
up through the liberal &#6357106;ts program for those who cannot enroll &#6684783;r a full
time schedule. If this seems feasible, it could be done through a Bible
College, probably not for cre&#6553705;ts.
Some conce&#7471214; has been expressed as to whether presently we could staff a
Bible College with quali&#6684777;ed Bible instructors who would be doctrinally loyal
to the teachings of the Church, its practices and gove&#7471214;ment. This is a
matter of first consideration. If the liberal arts program expanded its Bible
and Christian Education Departments to emphasize the Church more,
instructors would need to be fully qualified.
Much conce&#7471214; to the membership of the Church is &#6684777;nance. As in most
other ventures, Church or secular, the cost always tends to be greater than
anticipated. In&#6684780;ation has aff&#6619235;ted this as well as the conce&#7471214; in the

52 MINUTES OF THE 69TH ANNUAL ASSEMBLY
di&#6684774;erence betw&#6619237;n the amount which the college provides through tuition,
room and board, and the amo&#7667822;t which the General Church provides by
allotment. As has already been stated, a college cannot be successfully
operated unless it has the complete support of the Church. I believe we
realize that the &#6684777;nancial obligation is a strong factor.
Weig&#6815849;ng both approaches prayerfully, the Assembly must determine
which course the Lord would have us ta&#7077987;e. During this Assembly ye&#6357106;, the
College Board of Directors is reques&#7602277;d to m&#7078084;e a comprehensive inter
Church study to determine the desire of our p&#6619247;ple conce&#7209179;ng which plan
will best serve the Church and to present its findings for consideration in the
next Assembly.

Seemingly the Church has had a good year, and we humbly thank the
Lord &#6684783;r guiding us and &#6750313;ving us the wisdom to carry on the work for Him.
The task is too great for us within ourselves, but we have learn&#6619236; something
of what Paul meant when he said, "I can do all things through Christ which
strengtheneth me." (Phi&#7077993;ppians 4:13) There have been trials and tests, but
we can do whatever falls our lot when we depend upon the Lord. He has
promis&#6619236; never to leave us nor &#6684783;rsake us.
There is much territory yet to be covered for us to reach the uttermost
parts of the earth. It s&#6619237;ms that the &#6684777;elds have never been more ready to
harvest than they are now. This is wonderful, but we must not fail to
consider the storm clouds of world turmoil, letting us &#7012462;ow that time is
short. Thousands are being added to the Church each year, but there are
great m&#7667820;titudes in the valley of decision. Much depends upon what you &#6357102;d
I do as &#7798889;tnesses to the truth as to how soon they will walk in the light. The
Holy Ghost is their Guide, and He is our Guide. We must not fail to move at
His bidding.
A major accomplishment &#6684783;r this year has been the pub&#7077993;cation of
Volume II of our Church history, UPON TlIIS ROCK. Great interest has
been sho&#7798894; in this history. Brother C. T. Da&#7733353;dson Church Histo&#7471209;an is to
be commended for.&#6815849;s hours of rese&#7471247;ch anp. wtiting. Many of you have read

MINUTES OF THE 69TH ANNUAL ASSEMBLY 65
Volume I, which was released last year by the White Wing Publishing
House. Volume II has b&#6619237;n released at this Assembly. One more volume is
plann&#6619236;. Volumes I and II cover the history of the Church through the era of
A. J. Tomlinson, ending in 1943. These books are &#6684783;r sale at the White Wing
Publishing House. Every minister and member will find this history
informative and interesting.
This &#6750322;eat Church of God army is growing, but before our Lord's ret&#7471331;,
it will be, "A mighty host &#6684777;lled with the Holy Ghost," as my father us&#6619236; to
say. We are not in training, but we have en&#7077993;sted in the front of the battle,
eager to take this world for Christ and His Church. Now let us stand and
sing our Mighty Battle Hymn "At the Battle's Front" led by Liston
Pritchard with Mildred Bennett, pianist and Mary Lois Hamm, organist.

1:52 The Urgency of the Harvest-message by Felix R. Garcia.
Excerpts: John 4:35. (prayer) There is a hunger &#6357101;ong the p&#6619247;ple of the
Christian world. They are looking for something they know not how to reach.
They have experienced salvation, sancti&#6684777;cation and the Holy Ghost. Many
of the churches are going through a Holy Ghost revival, but there comes a
time when they need something of greater substance in their spiritual lives.

70 MINUTES OF THE 69TH ANNUAL ASSEMBLY
This indicates that there is a great harvest for the Church of God. Harvest
time is when the grain is matured. An article in the August, 1972, National
G&#6619247;graphic called "Wheatcutters" told of a family dedicated to cutting
wheat. They took contracts through the midwest to harvest wheat. There
was urgency in their work, and they had no regular bedtime hours nor rest.
They only had the summer which was four to six weeks. A brother joined the
Church in Peru who had been a mi&#7209065;ster &#6684783;r twenty-eight years, &#6357102;d he said,
"Now I know God's plan for these last days." We must reach all of Bolivia
with the gospel. I was preaching in an Assembly of God church in
Califo&#7209179;a, and the pastor told the deacon to lock the doors, and keep these
men b&#6619235;ause this is what we have been looking &#6684783;r. The world is tired of
confusion in doctrine. They want something solid and the Church of God is
the only one that can o&#6684774;er these wonderful opportunities. Sometimes I
wonder what p&#6619247;ple are thin&#7012457;ng about. Building multi-million dollar
structures as if the Lord isn't near at hand. I am not against new churches,
but you get so involved in yourself and disregard the harvest. Jer. 8:20. The
Church of God must be alert, because she is destined to harvest every soul
possible for the Body of Christ before His coming. Many sacrifices have to
be made in harvest time. I wish you would reconsider your next vacation
&#6357102;d give us h&#6357100;f of that money to put into missions where we can win
somebody for the Church of God. We could go into every Latin American
country today if there were enough mission money. The harvest must be
gathered soon. When God controls yo&#7667826; lives, you will be willing to make
the necessary sacrifices. Harvest time is so short. Latin America is open
today, but it is said that in less than ten years the harvest will not be
available. There is a h&#6357106;vest in America. We must get out of the spirit of
f&#6619237;ling small. The members in the Chur&#6488168; today are enough to conquer the
entire world for God and His Church. We need to ask God to be with us and
step out boldly. If we don't go to the rescue of our brothers, the devil wi&#7077996;
take them into &#6488161;ptivity; and they will be lost forever. If we don't submit to
the gove&#7209183;ent of the Church and be wi&#7077996;ing to go where the Lord wants us,
the devil will beat us to o&#7667826; brothers who have been washed in the blood of
Jesus Christ. Every nationality in the world must hear the last days
message. If we would submit to the Holy Ghost and the leadership of the
Church, we would have greater results. The Ch&#7667826;ch needs you.

Financial Statement of the
White Wing Publishing House and Press
To the 69th Annual Assembly of the Church of God, Greetings:
The information for our annual audit has been completed by the firm,
Randolph and Kersey, Certified Public Accountants, Cleveland, Tennessee.
We are very grateful &#6684783;r the blessings of the Lord on the publishing house.
We are mind&#6684789;l that the accomplishments attained are a direct result of His

MINUTES OF THE 69TH ANNUAL ASSEMBLY 71
favor and not as a result of our own sufficiency.
The ef&#6684777;ciency of our publishing house employees is commendable. And
the dedication of the publishing house Executive Committee has been most
encouraging to the Business Manager. These individuals, He&#7209074;y O'Neal,
Press Superintendent, Frank How&#6357106;d, Accountant, Louis Sullivan,
Merchandise S&#6357100;es Dir&#6619235;tor, and Melinda Dunn, Executive Secretary to the
Business Manager, have been most helpful in assisting the publishing house
to a record-breaking year, the best in our entire history.
First, our total sales and miscellaneous income went over the $1,000,000
mark &#6684783;r the &#6684777;rst time in our histo&#7471225;. Secondly, the net income was the
highest ever, $152,376.74. Every department achieved new records. We
opened a new bookstore in Dearbo&#7471214;, Michigan this past October. Wanda
Edwards has served as Manager and Gerri P&#6357106;ker is the clerk. Hugh
Edwards and Harold Parker have served as consultants for the Michigan
bookstore. A&#7077996; are to be commended for their work and ministry. We also
opened a bookstore in Hillcrest Heights, Maryland, in cooperation with our
local church in Riverdale, Maryland, where Roy Cantrell is the pastor. I. Q.
Slusher and his wife have managed the store and have spent hours of free
labor to see it go. Both these outlets have helped enlarge our outreach.
We have continued to upgrade our equipment. In addition to the new
presses and stitcher added last year, we have added an automatic film
processor to our dark room whi_ch enables us to develop and dry our
negatives in approximately 4 1/2 minutes. Needless to say, countless hours
of production have been saved with this investment.
We have also installed a computer in our bookkeeping department. The
computer will do invoicing and our accounts receivable all in one operation
which &#6684789;rther speeds up processing of your orders. The computer should
help us to run a much more ef&#6684777;cient business &#6684783;r the Church. Our new

Report of Tomlinson Home for Children Board of Directors
August 1, 1973 through July 31, 1974
To the 69th Annual Assembly of the Church of God, Greetings:
We, the Board of Dir&#6619235;tors of the Tomlinson Home For Children, want to
express our th&#6357102;ks 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, super&#6881390;tendents,
members and friends of the Church have responded wonderfully to th.e n&#6619237;ds
of the home, and we want to take this opportunity to thank each of you.
May the Lord bless you for your labor of love in behalf of this work.
We are now providing care for more children than at any other t&#6881389;e, the
total being 232 this Assembly year. Since the beginning of our orphanage
work in 1945, we have helped to care for approximately 310 children in the
homes in Cleveland. We are now caring for 150 children in Korea, 45 children
in India, and a new home was opened this past December in Indonesia with
15 children. The home is presently under construction and will be completed
appro&#7864425;mately October 1. The home in Mexico was opened August 1. The
first unit will house around 20 children.
We commend the directors of the home in India, Brother and Sister D.
Joseph; the directors in Korea, Brother and Sister David Kim; the directors
in Indonesia, Brother and Sister Sontang Pardede; and the director of the
home in Mexico, Brother Salomon He&#7471214;andez, for the good work they are
doing. The homes in these countries speak well in behalf of the Church.
We appreciate our houseparents here in Cleveland: Brother and Sister
Freddie Hagood, who are serving as relief housep&#6357106;ents; Brother and Sister
Richard Talbott, who are houseparents at the boys home; and Brother and
Sister B. R. Ca&#7209070;on, who are houseparents at the girls home.
Our o&#6684774;ice staff composed of Marie Bryant, secretary; Anna V&#6619237; Spurling,
coupon and stamp coordinator; and Ressie Mae Griffith, assistant coupon
worker, has worked h&#6357106;d this ye&#6357106;. Through their efforts and your sen&#6553705;ng
in stamps and coupons, we have realized $19,494,88.
We want to express our gratitude to Jackie Moore, who spends an
evening a week counseling with the children, which has proved to be very
beneficial.

6:42 The Work of an Evangelist-sermonette by Joe Bathe. Summary:
II Tim. 4: 5. The evangelist is seen most as he stands behind the pulpit, but
generally the time has been preceded by hours of study and prayer. Without
the power of God no souls will be blessed. The deliverance power is needed
for souls to have their spiritual needs met. The evangelist must have a
vision of lost souls; Jude spoke of having compassion. We need more than
just showers of blessings to drive the devil out of the midst; it is time to
take souls from Satan. The work of an evangelist is not just the preac&#6815849;ng,
singing, traveling, the scheduling of revivals. He must get others to give in
to God. You may have f&#7667820;l salvation, and be a member of the Church, but
the evangelist strives to get you where you can say, "Here am I Lord, Send
me."
6:55 Song by: Dennis and Barbara Howard; Terry &#6357102;d Linda Mahan;
Kerry and Linda Murphy while offering was received for Evangelism.
7:15 Mission ,Impossible-message by Elwood Matthews. Excerpts:
Never has such a mission been assigned to such a few by a man called Jesus
Christ. Mark 16:15-17; Matt. 28:18-20; Acts 1:8. The commission was given
to the Church to preach the gospel to every creature. These p&#6619247;ple believed
they could do it because they retu&#7471214;ed to Jerusalem with great joy. The

&#3670068; MINUTES OF THE 69TH A&#5111886;UAL ASSEMBLY
Holy Ghost came, the Jews began to mope; but Jesus s&#6357097;d to Peter, "Go
Preach." When he &#6684777;nished preaching three thous&#6357102;d were saved, and a few
days later healing took place. As he was going to a prayer meeting there was
a man who had been sick &#6684786;om his mother's womb. Peter said, "Silver &#6357102;d
&#6750319;ld have I none, but such as I have give I thee." If people could s&#6619237;
miracles perfo&#7471213;ed here, some would fall on their faces be&#6684783;re Almighty
God. Jesus said to heal the sick, and they went out and healed the sick. He
said raise the dead, and they went out &#6357102;d got busy on that too. Jesus
Christ is the same yesterday, today and &#6684783;rever, and I believe the Church of
God will do what He said. The power of God, the blood of Jesus Christ and
the Holy Ghost are the only things that can do it. They cast out devils and
were put in jail. The Lord shook the jail, and they walked out. They spoke
with new tongues. Paul said, "I thank my God I speak with tongues more
than you all." He took up serpents-he didn't go looking &#6684783;r one; but when
he reached down to get some wood to build a &#6684777;re, the viper latched onto his
hand. He was supposed to have died, but the power that was in the Apostle
Paul killed the snake. You ought to get healed where you are. ( He called &#6684783;r
John Newkirt.) This man was supposed to be dead, but he's healed. You can
be healed right where you are as the Lord &#7602287;uches you. God will work
anywhere if we will let Him. Be healed; reach and grasp the Lord.
7:55 John Newkirt testi&#6684777;ed: I fe&#7077996; thirty feet from the ceiling of the
church where I was pastoring. I suffered inte&#7471214;al injuries, &#6684786;actures,
vertebras j&#6357101;med. I refused to stay in the hospital six months and told the
doctor I had to go home. I was informed that a wrong move would paralyze
me the rest of my li&#6684773;. The hospital staff was not allowed to touch me. My
wife managed to get me home, and I crawled up the stairs. I had the cast cut
off, and f was paralyzed. The saints began praying &#6357102;d life and strength
came into my &#6422639;dy.
Sylvia Hardin was brought to plat&#6684783;rm, and fervent compassionate
prayers went forth for her healing. She thanked everyone &#6684783;r their prayers
and &#6684783;r the Church standing by her.
8:15 Roberta and Kim Matthews sang "Rise Up and Be Healed."
8:25 Verlin Tho&#7471214;ton led congregation in singing as lines were &#6684783;rm&#6619236; to
pray for the sick. Music by Bahamas Band as 1,193 were anointed and
prayed &#6684783;r. More than &#6684783;ur thousand cloths were anointed &#6357102;d distribut&#6619236; to
the congregation. Prayer led by Elwood Matthews.
9:10 If I Be Lifted Up, I Will Draw-message by Benjamin Lawrence.
(His wife Betty sang) Excerpts: John 12:32; John 1:14. Regardless of the
&#6488169;rcumstances, Jesus is the h&#6619244;p. It is n&#6619235;essary for men to be drawn to
Christ because man fell. Man &#6684773;ll in the garden of Eden. Man n&#6619237;ds to be
lifted to a plane of righteousness which only Jesus can do. Gen. 1:26. God
created man holy and placed him in the garden of Eden; and gave him one

MINUTES OF THE 69TH ANNUAL ASSEMBLY 85
law to k&#6619237;p which was not to eat of one tree. Adam fell from that holy state
when he ate the forbidden fruit. Gen. 1:3. Adam's children were bo&#7471214; in the
likeness of him, and they had the Adamic nature. Jesus is able to draw you
&#6684786;om sin unto salvation; &#6684786;om hatred to love; &#6684786;om obscurity to assurance;
&#6684786;om de&#6684773;at to victory; &#6684786;om death to li&#6684773;; &#6684786;om sickness to health. A magnet
can draw anything it comes in contact with. We can be drawn by the power
of Jesus Christ, but we have to get in contact with the drawing power. Jesus
c&#6357101;e in the form of flesh to condemn the works of the &#6684780;esh. In the form of
flesh as a child, He asked questions of the doctors and lawyers. After the
many miracles, He w&#6619246;t to the garden of Gethsemane to pray. When He
came back, the disciples were asleep. He said, "Can't you watch with me
just one hour?" Jesus prayed again. Sometimes you have to pray more than
once, but time spent at the altar is not wasted. Jesus prayed the third time,
and when He came back He let the disciples sleep because He had the
victory. He prayed, "Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass &#6684786;om me."
God was thinking about o&#7667826; souls, and He would not let the cup pass. The
angels came down and ministered to Christ. He said, "Nevertheless not my
will, but thy will be done." Christ was crucified, and He hung on the cross. If
anyone saw Jesus, they had to look up. They didn't know who He was, but
He went through with the plan of God that whosoever will, let &#6815849;m come.
Christ suffered that you and I might have the right to the tree of life. God's
power began to work. Somebody said they were having an earthquake, but
this was because God's Son was hanging on the cross. He had been lifted up
that He might draw all men unto Him. It didn't stop there. God commanded
the sun tQ shine by day, and it was obedient, but the light had gone out.
Jesus was the light of the world. The light can shine again-it can shine in
our hearts and in our lives. No one here has to be lost. Come and give
yourself to God. (Many seekers filled the altar.)

86 MINUTES OF THE 69TH ANNUAL ASSEMBLY
before the flag was created, Jesus promised an ensign or a banner to them
that fear Him, that it might be displayed to the world because of the truth.
Isa. 13:2, 3. We are not to display our flags only inside our buildings, but we
are to be on the mountain top so the world can see. In the 9th Assembly, the
question arose how to select a General Overs&#6619237;r. The Holy Ghost came
down, and the interpretation: "Brother Tomlinson is in his place. I have
placed him there and I will take him away when I am ready." In the 28th
Assembly, General Overseer A. J. Tomlinson recommended a design for the
Church &#6684780;ag. The flag was accepted un&#6357102;imously midst a downpour of the
Holy Ghost with messages and interpretations. A. J. Tomlinson said, "I
had intended to have a &#6684783;rmal de&#6553705;cation of the flag, but since the Lord has
so wonderfully taken control, we will consider it dedicated by the Holy
Ghost." In the 39th Assembly, M. A. Tomlinson was unamiously accepted
as the General Overseer of the Church of God with the Holy Ghost
reassuring the Assembly that His will had b&#6619237;n perfo&#7471213;ed. Men of God
searched the Scriptures and found the ensign and they presented it. That
same Holy Ghost that says he is your leader, said I have given you this
banner. That same Holy Ghost that saw fit to take A. J. Tomlinson away
gave us another leader. Bishop M. A. Tomlinson said to the 43rd Assembly,
" ... in whatever country the &#6684780;ag &#6684780;ies, it shows the Ch&#7667826;ch is established
there." The Holy Ghost has given us two wonderful General Overseers, the
banner and a vision. He has dir&#6619235;ted the Church of God. Num 22:35. As long
as truth is taught, there is a n&#6619237;d for a banner to be displayed. There never
has been a more appropriate time than now for displaying our national &#6684780;ag.
Old Glory is r&#6619235;eiving more recognition today than ever because our nation
and the world are in trouble. From generation to generation we are to
display the flag with pride and honor. If you want the &#6684780;ag honored, you
honor it; if you w&#6357102;t it displayed, you display it. If you want the world to
&#7012462;ow about the truth, you tell the world about it. Sol. 6:4; Psa. 132:8, 9. The
world wants to know who the Church is, and it is our responsibility to tell
them. I appreciate our former workers who have so proudly displayed the
banner. You older ministers are more important to the Church of God than
you ever were. You have a great responsibility. (Asked all members to
stand) Ministers, look at these sheep God has given us. Like David, let's
·tand for the truth and say, "Before you get the sheep that God gave me,
'will have to take my life." Let us display o&#7667826; banners. Demonstration

11:06 So Shall My Word Be-message by Fr&#6619236; S. Fisher. Excerpts: Gen.
1:1; John 1:1; Heb. 4:12; Isa. 55:10, 11. The Word of God must be removed
&#6684786;om the library shelves; it must be moved &#6684786;om the tract boxes and the
pulpit. It c&#6357102;not accomplish its intended purpose when it is contained, but
the Word of God must be applied. It is limited unapplied, and we stand
under an indictment before God when we fail to deliver the &#7077993;fe-giving Word
of God. The Word is self-sufficient; it needs no additives. It is a power to
accomplish God's intended pu&#7471216;ose. Jer. 23:29. The world needs and waits
for the Word of God. Paul was so strongly committed that he said, "I &#6357101; a
debtor, and I stand ready to spend and be spent." He was not only ready to
be bound to Jerusalem, but he was ready to die at Jerusalem. The
introduction of Christ was by a man named John. God chose the rooster to
bring forth His Word &#6684783;r Peter. God used the vocal organs of a jackass and
spoke to the disobe&#6553705;ent prophets. The wind in the mulberry tree was a
message to David. Martin Luther master-minded the Protest&#6357102;t
Reformation wh&#6881379;h changed the history of the world. Luther was a writer
and a speaker, and this c&#6357101;e when printing was possible by a moveable type
press, making the printing of the Word of God practical so it could be put
into the hands of the p&#6619247;ple. Without the p&#7471209;nted message, Luther could
have died in obscurity. God is holding us responsible to make kno&#7798894; the
truth b&#6619235;ause it will set men fr&#6619237;. We are to do our best in this generation.
The Word of God is quick and powerful. It will remove the guilt from the
defendant, give fr&#6619337;om to the condemned, guidance to the newly married
couples. We &#6357106;e in days of uncert&#6357097;nty and in&#6684780;ation. Our Government is
under examination, w&#6357106; and perils spread across our land &#7077993;ke a plague, but
the Word of God is stedfast. Matt. 5: 18. The Apostle Paul said, "The Word
of God shall endure forever." If our f&#6357097;th is &#6684783;unded upon the Word of God,
&#6357102;d we trust in it, we are responsible to carry it &#6684783;rth. Everything contained
in the Bible shall happen.

about 30,000 p&#6619247;ple viewed a p&#6357106;ade promoting Christ in which the Church
had a nice float. Tracts were distribut&#6619236;, and our Ch&#7667826;ch people were in
charge of the evening service. Keep T&#7471221;c&#7012457;n' the Word-Larry Biggers. He
told of the Geor&#6750313;a youth running all night from Macon, G&#6619247;rgia, to Atlanta
and presenting a Bible to Gov&#7471315;or Jimmy Carter. More than $4,000 was

2:05 Identifi&#6619236; With Christ and His Church-sermonette by Kerry
Murphy. Excerpts: II Cor. 5:17; I Cor. 7:31; Mal. 3:6. Styles become
outdated, but the Word of God is as fresh now as when it was given. In this
identity crisis, many &#6684777;nd it &#7340143;p&#7667820;ar to identify with movie stars, s&#7340143;rt
superstars, T.V. celebrity groups, politics, drug cults, but "On Christ the
so&#7077993;d rock I stand." He never changes. We must identi&#6684793; with the body of
Christ which He purchased with His blood. This vast multitude of young
people entrusted with the work of the Son of God is to tell others about His
soon coming. I believe we can be trust&#6619236; to tum the world upside down for
Jesus. Acts 4:31. We can identi&#6684793; through prayer. Don't be a drifter, but
let's get involved and be a part. I John 3:2. I challenge you to identify with
Christ and His Church and let's de&#6684773;at the devil.

2:30 Skit-Marching to the Beat of a Different Drum. Lucifer enticed
youth with worldly &#6357101;usements and glowing promises. &#5374053;presentative for
Jesus said, "It &#14876885; not last. The youth of the Church are marching to the
beat of a different drum. Christ is sounding forth the battle cry urging all
youth to respond with haste. Who will heed the call of Ch&#7471209;st and march in
the army of the Lord?" (drums) "We &#7798889;ll march to the beat of Jesus Christ.
We know where we &#6357106;e going. We don't need the pleasures of this world; we
have been washed by the blood of Jesus Ch&#7471209;st." "The Youth of the World"
was sung and "The Victory Leader Song."
2:52 Message by Frank Hughes. Excerpts: Prov. 30:11-14. Solomon could
have been loo&#7012457;ng into the 70s when he described the generation. Sat&#6357102; is
making a bid &#6684783;r this generation. An unp&#6357106;alelled invasion by the powers of
hell has been &#7667822;leashed against today's young p&#6619247;ple. Rev. 12:12. Young
person, the devil is making a bid &#6684783;r your soul. The evolution th&#6619247;ry is being
taught. The devil has attacked our school systems and our homes. Dave
Wilkerson says that the number one problem facing young people is hatred
&#6684783;r their parents. Drug abuse is a national nightmare. We have gone &#6684786;om
rock 'n roll to hard rock; &#6684786;om the acid rock the hippies came on the scene;
the nude morality. Luke 22:31; I Tim. 4:1. There is a revival of the Occult.
Our society is sick. Never has there b&#6619237;n so many people involved in the
study of occult experimentation with atomic powers, especially true among
the youth. Witchcraft is more prevalent than d&#7471221;g abuse. The devil is on the
rampage, and he is trying to deceive, destroy and captivate this generation.
Satan's drums are beating, but the spirit of God is vibrating t&#6815858;ough the
youth. This day doesn't belong to hell. God is still in control. Isa. 59:19. I
be&#7077993;eve the youth want to march to the beat of the Church of God drum.
Matt. 16: 18 (young p&#6619247;ple stood) I want you young p&#6619247;ple to stomp on
satan. Last year our General Overseer in his annual address challenged the
young p&#6619247;ple to "The Work of This Generation." We have to go on with our
work. We can still lift up a banner against satan. Thousands of young people
over the earth have joined the march for Christ. Congregation s&#6357102;g "Stand
Up For Jesus."

4:48 Evaluating the Curriculum-Raymond Pruitt. Excerpts: The
College is conce&#7471214;ed with development of the student. Our cu&#7471218;iculum is
conce&#7471214;ed with the total person. Tomlinson College recognizes the
responsibility which the Assembly has charged it. Our Curriculum
Committee is spirit-filled and each quali&#6684777;ed in his field. The purpose of our
college is to present the whole truth, to integrate the major &#6684777;elds of
le&#7471311;&#6881390;g, to promote the realization of Christian values and student
character; and the student to use his capabilities for the glory of God and
service of his fellowmen. The curriculum has been expanded, and we now
offer degrees in these major &#6684777;elds: Biblical studies, practical ministries,
-philosophy, th&#6619247;logy, education, Christian education, music, business
administration, secretarial science, physical science, biological sciences, pre
nursing, mathematics, liberal arts. Our philosophy should be Christ, person
&#6357102;d Ch&#7667826;ch centered. The college exists &#6684783;r the student. God is served in the
pulpit, in the cho&#6881394;, in business of&#6684777;ces, or wherever people are. The full-time
work of every Christian is to serve the Lord. "Scholarship With Spirit" is
our motto.
5:00 What's Happening in Student Affairs-Je&#7471218;y Adams. Comments:
The students are taught by qualified p&#6619247;ple. The student affairs involves
everyday life, and the most important is the spiritual aspect. We want the
best in scholarship, and my go&#6357100; this year is for the Spirit of God to sweep
the campus greater than it did on the Day of Pentecost. We need quali&#6684777;ed
young people. Just being quali&#6684777;ed through the books is not enough. They
have to have the Spirit of God inside. ( He led in prayer asking all to join who
desire a revival on the campus of Tomlinson College.)
5: 10 Phil and Betty Barker sang "Scholarship With Spi&#7471209;t"; President of
Student Gove&#7209183;ent Association Roy Miller spoke briefly. Randy Arnold

5:18 Defining Our Role-Robert J. Pruitt. Comments: In 1966, the
Church embarked upon its first endeavor in the area of college education.
Tomlinson College came on the scene late in the progress of the Church this

92 MINUTES OF THE 69TH ANNUAL ASSEMBLY
side of the Dark Ages. Most other religious organizations developed colleges
early. The Church has never made &#6684783;&#7471213;al education a requirement in the
ministry but takes the view that a call into the ministry is between the
person and God. The Church recognizes the call when it is sufficiently
demonstrated. The effectiveness of that ministry depends a great deal upon
the individual. Failure lies with the individual who fails to qu&#6357100;ify.
Quali&#6684777;cations are not inbo&#7471214;. The capacity is natural, but the quali&#6684777;cations
must be developed and trained. An ex&#6357101;ple is God dealing with Moses.
Moses had the inbo&#7471214; capacity &#6684783;r leadership, but it took eighty years of
academic and experimental lea&#14352604;g be&#6684783;re God got him ready for leader of
Israel. The Church must provide leadership to meet the spiritual channel it
faces. The qual&#6684882;cations of its leaders must increase with the demands of
their responsibilities. God has never used just &#6619236;ucated people to do His
work. In order &#6684783;r the Church to &#6684789;lfill its mission, some wi&#7077996; have to have
more highly dev&#6619244;oped skills than others. This is where our Church College
can make its contribution. The Co&#7077996;ege cannot train all of the Church's
youth, but it is inconceivable that an organization as large as the Church
would not have an institution of higher learning for its constituents. Our
College is only one channel of training in the Church. It is not to our credit
that some who have been obsessed &#7798889;th admiration of worldly minds have
been overwhelmed with arguments which con&#6684780;ict with the Bible. True
le&#7471311;ing brings one into &#6488172;oser fellowship with the Church and God. Our
institution gives opportunity to pursue le&#7471311;ing in an atmosphere of
spiritual dedication. T&#7471221;e education recognizes God as the source of truth,
&#6357102;d His Word as the &#6684777;nal autho&#7471209;ty; it &#6619245;bodies Christian qualities which
foster the best relationship with saints of God and courts the favor of God.
The world talks of brotherhood of all mankind, but the Church must prac&#7602281;ce
it. Tomlinson College is struggling &#6684777;nancially. There have been some
mistakes in our brief history in our process of lea&#14352604;g by trial and error.
The College wants to be in step with the Church to prepare our youth &#6684783;r
effective ministries. Our social &#6357102;d spiritual programs are being developed
to enh&#6357102;ce the Christi&#6357102; way of life. Phil. 4:5; I Cor. 10:32. By your prayers
&#6357102;d financial support, we are asking you to give a chance to adjust.

Report of Tomlinson College Board of Trustees
To the 69th Annual Assembly of the Church of God, Greetings:
We, your Board of Trustees of To&#7078102;nson College, submit the following
report:
1. Anticipated enrol&#7077997;ent &#6684783;r the 1974-75 Fall Term is approximately
200. During the May Commencement exercises, degrees were conferr&#6619236; on
31 students.
2. Completion of the Mission Department Apartment Complex and the

MINUTES OF THE 69TH ANNUAL ASSEMBLY
93
new Student Lounge have enhanced the facilities of the college. A co
operative program of maintenance and property improvement between the
General Properties Committee and the college has greatly added to the
physical plant this year.
3. The Board of Trustees shares the concern as expressed by the General
Overseer in his annual address as to the future direction to be persued by the
College and endorses the plan of a comprehensive study in this matter.
4. The third year Bible oriented pro&#6750322;am is now operational and offers a
third year of Bible and Church related subjects &#6684783;r ministerial students.
5. The Board of Trustees wishes to welcome several new incoming
&#6881390;structors and staff members namely: Jacqueline Moore in Social Science
and English; Stanley Lambert in Science Health and Physical Education;
Nieta L&#6357101;bert in Language; Phil&#7077993;p Barker in vocal music; Lester
Wolfgong in Plant Maintenance.
Our most sincere and grateful appreciation is extended to Ellsworth and
Joyce Van Deventer, departing dorm advisors and instructors for their
tireless efforts and devoted service to the college &#6684783;r the past several years.
Their service has touch&#6619236; nearly all areas of college life and has been an
inspiration to many. May God bless them.
6. A new orientation course is required of all TC Students which includes
teaching on basic Church Doctrine-Advice to Members, The 29 Prominent
Teachings, the Body of Christ and the prominent rulings of the General
Assembly.
7. The Board of Trustees greatly appreciates the continued support of the
College by local churches, states, countries, and individuals. The current
policy regarding student account payment is working well. Many
outstanding accounts prior to the in&#6488175;rporation of the new policy have
placed a financial burden on the College hindering our ability to serve many
deserving students.
8. The term of Chester Williams expires during this General Assembly.
Brother Williams has served the college &#6684769;ithfully for the past seven years.
His inspirational leadership and his devotion to this cause will long be
remembered by those of us serving with him.

5:45 Reaching Out to the U&#7209074;eached-message by Arlynn White.
Excerpts: Mark 16:15-20. This is one of the greatest commands in the Word
of God. We have no time to waste. We must respond now to reach the
unreached. People must be reached where they live. This gospel is universal,
and it &#7012462;ows no racial nor language barriers. It will not be supressed by
territorial bound&#7471306;es. God's Word is truth, and it must reach all men be&#6684783;re
His coming. Psa. 24: 1, 2. Man has en&#6750313;neered great networks of super
highways like a giant spiderweb, but he has lost sight of the values on which
this and other great nations were founded. With scientific knowledge and
technology at an all time high, it would seem that m&#6357102; could contribute to
the betterment of this world, but he is faltering, groping his way &#6684786;om
crises to crises. Aren't we glad to be members of the Body of Christ, the
pillar and ground of the truth? The only hope for humanity in this sin
&#7340143;lluted world is Jesus Christ. We must go into the highways and the
hedges and reach them before the retu&#7471214; of the Lord. I challenge us to lift up
our eyes and look on the &#6684777;elds for they &#6357106;e ripe and ready for harvest. World
conditions should challenge every member of the Church of God to greater
action. John 6:5-11. All the Lord is asking of the Church is to be willing to
&#6750313;ve what we have. The Lord needs a willing vessel. Thank God for the
progress that has been made this year in the Church. It was not easy for our
fathers in the faith, but they pressed ever onward. Our commission is to go
unto those who have not been reached with the fulness of the gospel of
Christ. I appreciate the Spirit of God moving on His people and causing
them to want to reach out to the unreached. Isa. 54:2-5. We have the
promise of God, and we are going to have a sweeping revival to cl&#6881389;ax the
ingathering of the other sheep. I thank God that Jesus purchased the
Church of God &#7798889;th His own blood. One day the work will be finished, and
we are go&#6881390;g to s&#6619237; the Lord in His glory.

Greek delegation in singing in their language.
7:33 World Mission Program directed by Charles G. Hawkins, Sr.
Comments and prayer by Sylvia Har&#6553705;n. Overseers &#6684786;om abroad came to
platform as names were called.
7:48 Mission Representatives speak: Adrian L. Varlack: I feel a pressure
on the Church as the coming of the Lord draws near. Church leaders around
the world are b&#6619235;oming bewildered by dr&#6357101;atic changes. One cannot predict
&#7798889;th any cert&#6357097;nty the happenings of tomorrow. Nations are preoccupied
with the survival of their citizens who are threatened by inflation, famine
and disease. Famine has claimed thousands of lives throughout the wo&#7471212;d.
The world situation can be su&#7143533;ed up in one word-chaos. The words of
our Captain Jesus Christ ring &#6684786;om Mt. Olive. Matt. 24:7. While religious
leaders are baf&#6684780;ed, the Church must display soberness and watchfulness.
Our s&#7471339;ival is in the ete&#7471214;al destiny of the Church of God. While the world
preaches economic independence and security, we must preach self-denial
and heavenly treasures. While the world teaches nationalism and racism,
we must teach divine unity in an all-nations' Church. The door is open for
the Church to lead God's p&#6619247;ple out of ceremonies of organized religions into
the glorious liberality of the children of God. Man must hear the last days
message by a Church whose motto is self-denial and its security is in Jesus
Christ.
J. A. Reyes-Latin America is the only area in the world where the
number of p&#6619247;ple converted to C&#6815858;ist is growing faster than the population.
There is a big movement of the Holy Ghost. The &#6684777;elds are ready to harvest,
and 70 per cent of the protestant people have received the Holy Ghost.
Governments of Latin America &#6357106;e friendly to the protestant churches.
Brazil for the &#6684777;rst time has a protestant president, and the first country in
&#5439599;uth America to have a protestant president. In Argentina a group felt
they have to start something new in their worshipping, and they st&#13959383;d
looking for the Church of the Bible. In Chile they are moving ahead with the
gospel of Jesus Christ. I was in Bolivia in April which was closed to the
gospel ten years ago. Last year a revival was started with a young man who

96 MINUTES OF THE 69TH ANNUAL ASSEMBLY
received the Holy Ghost, and he moved that city the way the-early Church
did. I believe the world has to know the Church of God is in the cities where
we have churches. Bolivia is about 55 per cent of the entire population. We
organized a church while I was there in April. In July I visited again and we
organized six ch&#7667826;ches. We need buildings so our people can have places to
worship. Pray for this field. Thank God because the Church of God has
reached &#6357102;other country with the whole message of the last days Ch&#7667826;ch.
C. C. Shiakallis-1 have visited several countries this year; &#6553714;ove across
Europe; went to Greece, Turkey and Cyprus. You have heard about these
countries in the news. The Lord can undertake. War disaster in Cyp&#7471221;s. I
am w&#6619237;ping over my p&#6619247;ple. Most of our Church p&#6619247;ple have lost th&#6619241;r
homes. I &#6357101; hoping to arouse your interest so we can play a more active role
in world affairs by prayer and supplication to God. Luke 21:23, 26; I Thes,
5:3; Luke 21:34-36. Jesus is w&#7471311;ing us of materialism and so ca&#7077996;ed
prospe&#7471209;ty. These and kindred passions &#6357106;e making slaves of Christians. Sin
is a curse and a sure destruction of nations. The immorality we see around us
would make the inhabitants of Sodom and Go&#7143533;orrah blush. The Lord is
going to make material things too hot for us to handle. Lot's wife tried to
handle them. W&#7471311;ings of doom and impending judgment are not popular,
but p&#6619247;ple would rather hear music that lulls their g&#7667817;lty consciences to
sleep. Jesus w&#7471311;ed His generation and ours of the dangers. The Apostle
Paul did repea&#7602277;dly. II Tim. 3: 1. Our loving Saviour would not have us lose
hope, but rather awake and face our responsibilities like sons and daughters
of God. The Word of God is given by inspiration of God. II Tim. 3:16 ; Titus
3: 12, 13. Greeks are scattered &#6357100;l over the world numbering about fift&#6619237;n
million. We have churches in Greece, Cyprus, Australia, C&#6357102;ada and
England. Pray for us and especially for our p&#6619247;ple in Cyp&#7471221;s that the Lord
may intervene.

6:42 The Work of an Evangelist-sermonette by Joe Bathe. Summary:
II Tim. 4: 5. The evangelist is seen most as he stands behind the pulpit, but
generally the time has been preceded by hours of study and prayer. Without
the power of God no souls will be blessed. The deliverance power is n&#6619237;ded
for souls to have their spiritual needs met. The evange&#7077993;st must have a
vision of lost souls; Jude spoke of having compassion. We need more than
just showers of blessings to drive the devil out of the midst; it is time to
take souls &#6684786;om Satan. The work of an evangelist is not just the preaching,
singing, traveling, the scheduling of revivals. He must get others to give in
to God. You may have &#6684789;ll salvation, &#6357102;d be a member of the Church, but
the evangelist strives to get you where you can say, "Here am I Lord, Send
mea"
6:55 Song by: Dennis and Barbara Howard; Terry and Linda M&#6357096;an;

7:15 Mission Jmpossible-message by Elwood Matthews. Excerpts:
Never has such a mission been assigned to such a few by a man called Jesus
Christ. Mark 16: 15-17; Matt. 28:18-20; Acts 1:8. The commission was given
to the Church to preach the gospel to every creature. These people believed
they could do it because they returned to Jerusalem with great joy
&#6225966;
The

&#3670068; MINUTES OF THE 69TH ANNUAL ASSEMBLY
Holy Ghost crone, the Jews beg&#6357102; to mope; but Jesus said to Peter, "Go
Preach." When he &#6684777;nished preaching three thousand were saved, and a few
days later healing took place. As he was going to a prayer meeting there was
a man who had been sick &#6684786;om his mother's womb. Peter said, "Silver and
gold have I none, but such as I have give I thee." If people could s&#6619237;
miracles per&#6684783;rmed here, some would fall on their faces be&#6684783;re Almighty
God. Jesus said to heal the sick, &#6357102;d they went out and healed the sick. He
said raise the dead, and they went out and got busy on that too. Jesus
Christ is the same yest&#6619250;day, today and &#6684783;rever, and I be&#7077993;eve the Church of
God will do what He said. The power of God, the blood of Jesus Christ and
the Holy Ghost are the only things that can do it. They cast out devils and
were put in jail. The Lord shook the jail, and they walk&#6619236; out. They spoke
with new tongues. Paul said, "I thank my God I speak &#7798889;th tongues more
than you all." He took up serpents-he didn't go looking &#6684783;r one; but when
he reached down to get some wood to build a &#6684777;re, the viper latch&#6619236; onto his
hand. He was supposed to have died, but the power that was in the Apostle
Paul killed the snake. You ought to get healed where you &#6357106;e. ( He call&#6619236; &#6684783;r
John Newkirt.) This man was supposed to be dead, but he's healed. You can
be healed right where you are as the Lord touches you. God will work
&#6357102;ywhere if we will let H&#7471319;. Be healed; reach and grasp the Lord.
7:55 John Newkirt testified: I fell thirty feet &#6684786;om the ceiling of the
church where I was pastoring. I su&#6684774;ered int&#7471315;al injuries, &#6684786;actures,
vertebras jammed. I re&#6684789;sed to stay in the hospital six months and told the
doctor I had to go home. I was informed that a &#7798898;ong move would par&#6357100;yze
me the rest of my life. The hospital staff was not allowed to touch me. My
wife managed to get me home, and I crawled up the st&#6357097;rs. I had the cast cut
off, and I was paralyzed. The saints began praying and life and strength
came into my &#6422639;dy.
Sylvia Hardin was brought to platform, and fervent compassionate
prayers went forth for her healing. She thanked everyone for their prayers
and for the Church stan&#6553705;ng by her.
8:15 Roberta and Kim Matthews sang "Rise Up and Be Heal&#6619236;."
8:25 Verlin Tho&#7471214;ton led congregation in singing as lines were &#6684783;rmed to
pray &#6684783;r the sick. Music by Bahamas Band as 1,193 were &#6357102;ointed and
prayed for. More than &#6684783;ur thousand cloths were anointed and distribut&#6619236; to
the congregation. Prayer led by Elwood Matthews.
9: 10 If I Be Lifted Up, I Will Draw-message by Benjamin Lawrence.
(His wife Betty sang) Excerpts: John 12:32; John 1:14. Regardless of the
circumstances, Jesus is the help. It is necessary &#6684783;r men to be drawn &#7602287;
Christ because man fell. Man &#6684773;ll in the garden of Eden. Man needs to be
lifted to a plane of righteousness which only Jesus can do. Gen. 1:26. God
&#6488178;eated man holy and placed him in the g&#6357106;den of Eden; and gave him one

MINUTES OF THE 69TH ANNUAL ASSEMBLY 85
law to k&#6619237;p which was not to eat of one tree. Adam fell &#6684786;om that holy state
when he ate the &#6684783;rbidden &#6684786;uit. Gen. 1:3. Adam's children were bo&#7471214; in the
likeness of him, and they had the Adamic nature. Jesus is able to draw you
&#6684786;om sin unto salvation; &#6684786;om hatred to love; from obscurity to assurance;
&#6684786;om defeat to victory; from death to life; &#6684786;om sickness to health. A magnet
can draw anything it comes in contact with. We can be drawn by the power
of Jesus Christ, but we have to get in contact with the drawing power. Jesus
c&#6357101;e in the form of flesh to condemn the works of the &#6684780;esh. In the form of
flesh as a child, He asked questions of the doctors and lawyers. After the
many miracles, He went to the garden of Gethsemane to pray. When He
c&#6357101;e back, the &#6553705;sciples were asleep. He said, "Can't you watch with me
just one ho&#7667826;?" Jesus prayed ag&#6881487;. Sometimes you have to pray more than
once, but time spent at the alt&#6357106; is not wasted. Jesus prayed the third time,
and when He came back He let the disciples sleep because He had the
victory. He prayed, "Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass &#6684786;om me."
God was th&#6881390;king about our souls, and He would not let the cup pass. The
&#6357102;gels c&#6357101;e down and ministered to Christ. He said, "Nevertheless not my
will, but thy will be done.'' Christ was crucified, and He hung on the cross. If
anyone saw Jesus, they had to look up. They didn't know who He was, but
He went through with the plan of God that whosoever will, let &#6815849;m come.
Christ suffered that you and I might have the &#7471209;ght to the tree of life. God's
power began to work. Somebody said they were having an earthquake, but
this was because God's Son was hanging on the cross. He had been lifted up
that He might draw all men unto Him. It didn't stop there. God commanded
the sun to shine by day, and it was obedient, but the light had gone out.
Jesus was the light of the world. The light can shine again-it can shine in
our hearts and in our lives .. No one here has to be lost. Come and give
yourself to God. (Many seekers &#6684777;lled the altar.)

9:26 Reader gave brief history of United States and Church Flags as both
were &#6553705;splayed. Message by Ken&#7209065;th Staggs. Excerpts: Psa. 60:4; I Peter
2:9, 10; I Tim. 3:15. The Lord has given the Church of God a flag that it
may be displayed to ca&#7077996; attention to the true Word of God. If the flag only
represented the product of some men, we might i&#6750318;ore it. Hundreds of y&#6619233;rs

86 MINUTES OF THE 69TH ANNUAL ASSEMBLY
before the flag was created, Jesus promised an ensign or a banner to them
that fear Him, that it might be displayed to the world b&#6619235;ause of the truth.
Isa. 13:2, 3. We &#6357106;e not to display our &#6684780;ags only inside our buildings, but we
are to be on the mountain top so the world can see. In the 9th Assembly, the
question arose how to select a General Overseer. The Holy Ghost came
down, and the interpretation: "Brother Tomlinson is in his place. I have
placed him there and I will take him away when I am ready." In the 28th
Assembly, General Overseer A. J. Tomlinson recommended a design for the
Church &#6684780;ag. The &#6684780;ag was accepted unanimously midst a downpour of the
Holy Ghost with messages and interpretations. A. J. Tomlinson said, "I
had intended to have a formal dedication of the flag, but since the Lord has
so wonderfully taken control, we will consider it dedicated by the Holy
Ghost." In the 39th Assembly, M.A. Tomlinson was unamiously accepted
as the General Overseer of the Church of God with the Holy Ghost
reassuring the Assembly that His will had b&#6619237;n perfo&#7471213;ed. Men of God
search&#6619236; the Scriptures and found the ensign and they presented it. That
same Holy Ghost that says he is yo&#7667826; leader, said I have given you this
banner. That same Holy Ghost that saw &#6684777;t to take A. J. Tomlinson away
gave us another leader. Bishop M.A. Tom&#7077993;nson said to the 43rd Assembly,
" ... in whatever country the &#7078087;g &#6684780;ies, it shows the Ch&#7667826;ch is established
there." The Holy Ghost has given us two wonderful General Overseers, the
banner and a vision. He has dir&#6619235;ted the Church of God. Num 22: 35. As long
as truth is ·taught, there is a n&#6619237;d for a b&#6357102;ner to be displayed. There never
has been a more appropriate time than now for displaying our national &#6684780;ag.
Old Glory is receiving more reco&#6750318;ition today than ever because our nation
and the world are in trouble. From generation to generation we are to
display the flag with pride and honor. If you want the flag honored, you
honor it; if you want it displayed, you display it. If you want the world to
&#7012462;ow about the truth, you tell the world about it. Sol. 6:4; Psa. 132:8, 9. The
world wants to know who the Church is, and it is our responsibility to te&#7077996;
them. I appreciate our former workers who have so proudly displayed the
banner. You older ministers are more important to the Church of God than
you ever were. You have a great responsibility. (Asked all members to
stand) Ministers, look at these sheep God has given us. Like David, let's
stand for the truth and say, "Be&#6684783;re you get the sheep that God gave me,
you will have to take my life." &#4980837;t us display our banners. Demonstration
by the Mastin Lake, Huntsville, AL, Church. Choir sang "The Church of
God Flag Song" and" 'Tis the Old Ship of Zion." These were brought in: a
large banner "World Church of God of Prophecy"; sceptre, star and crown;
large U.S. and Church Flags; followed by ladies in white carrying small
Church Flags.

11:06 So Shall My Word Be-message by Fr&#6619236; S. Fisher. Excerpts: Gen.
1:1; John 1:1; Heb. 4:12; Isa. 55:10, 11. The Word of God must be removed
&#6684786;om the library shelves; it must be moved &#6684786;om the tract boxes and the
pulpit. It cannot accomplish its intended purpose when it is contained, but
the Word of God must be applied. It is &#7077993;mited unapplied, and we stand
under an indictment before God when we fail to deliver the life-&#6750313;ving Word
of God. The Word is self-sufficient; it needs no additives. It is a power to
accomplish God's intend&#6619236; purpose. Jer. 23:29. The world needs and waits
for the Word of God. Paul was so strongly committed that he said, "I am a
debtor, and I st&#6357102;d ready to sp&#6619246;d and be spent." He was not only ready to
be bound to Jerusalem, but he was ready to die at Jerusalem. The
introduction of Christ was by a man named John. God chose the rooster to
bring forth His Word for Peter. God used the vocal org&#6357102;s of a jackass and
spoke to the disobedient prophets. The wind in the mulberry tree was a
message to David. Martin Luther master-minded the Protest&#6357102;t
Reformation which changed the history of the world. Luther was a writer
and a speaker, &#6357102;d this came when printing was possible by a moveable type
press, making the printing of the Word of God practic&#6357100; so it could be put
into the hands of the p&#6619247;ple. Without the printed message, Luther could
have died in obsc&#7798829;ity. God is holding us responsible &#7602287; make kno&#7798894; the
truth b&#6619235;ause it will set men fr&#6619237;. We are to do o&#7798829;best in this generation.
The Word of God is quick and powerful. It will remove the guilt from the
defendant, give &#6684786;&#6619237;dom to the condemned, guidance to the newly m&#13828315;ed
couples. We are in days of uncertainty &#6357102;d inflation. Our Gove&#7471214;ment is
under examination, w&#6357106; and perils spread across our land like a plague, but
the Word of God is sted&#6684769;st. Matt. 5: 18. The Apostle Paul said, "The Word
of God shall endure &#6684783;rever." If our f&#6357097;th is founded upon the Word of God,
and we trust in it, we are responsible to carry it forth. Everything contained
in the Bible shall happen.

2:05 Identifi&#6619236; With Christ and His Church-sermonette by Kerry
Murphy. Excerpts: II Cor. 5:17; I Cor. 7:31; Mal. 3:6. Styles become
outdated, but the Word of God is as fresh now as when it was given. In this
identity crisis, many &#6684777;nd it popular to identi&#6684793; with movie stars, s&#7340143;rt
superstars, T.V. celebrity groups, politics, drug cults, but "On Christ the
solid rock I stand." He never changes. We must identi&#6684793; with the body of
Christ which He purchased with His blood. This vast multitude of young
&#7340133;ople entrusted with the work of the Son of God is to tell others about His
soon coming. I believe we can be trusted to tu&#7471214; the world upside do&#7798894; &#6684783;r
Jesus. Acts 4:31. We can identi&#6684793; through prayer. Don't be a drifter, but
let's get involved &#6357102;d be a part. I John 3:2. I challenge you to identify with
Christ and His Church and let's defeat the devil.

Jesus said, "It will not last. The youth of the Church are marching to the
beat of a different drum. Christ is sounding forth the battle cry urging all
youth to respond with haste. Who will heed the call of Christ and march in
the army of the Lord?" (drums) "We will march to the beat of Jesus Christ.
We know where we &#6357106;e going. We don't n&#6619237;d the pleasures of this world; we
have b&#6619237;n washed by the blood of Jesus Christ." "The Youth of the World"
was sung and "The Victory Leader Song."
2 :52 Message by Frank Hughes. Excerpts: Prov. 30: 11-1"4. Solomon could
have been loo&#7012457;ng into the 70s when he described the generation. Satan is
making a bid &#6684783;r this generation. An unp&#6357106;alelled invasion by the powers of
hell has been unleash&#6619236; against today's young p&#6619247;ple. Rev. 12:12. Young
person, the devil is making a bid for your soul. The evolution th&#6619247;ry is being
taught. The devil has attacked o&#7667826; school syst&#6619245;s and our homes. Dave
Wilkerson says that the number one problem facing young p&#6619247;ple is hatred
&#6684783;r their parents. Drug abuse is a national nightmare. We have gone &#6684786;om
rock 'n roll to hard rock; &#6684786;om the acid rock the hippies came on the scene;
the nude morality. Luke 22:31; I Tim. 4:1. There is a revival of the Occult.
Our society is sick. Never has there b&#6619237;n so many people involved in the
study of occult experimentation with atomic powers, especially true among
the youth. Witchcraft is more prevalent than drug abuse. The devil is on the
rampage, and he is trying to d&#6619235;eive, destroy and captivate this generation.
Satan's drums &#6357106;e beating, but the spi&#7471209;t of God is vibrating through the
youth. This day doesn't belong to hell. God is still in control. Isa. 59:19. I
believe the youth want to march to the beat of the Church of God drum.
Matt. 16:18 (young p&#6619247;ple stood) I want you young p&#6619247;ple to stomp on
satan. Last ye&#6357106; our General Overseer in his annual address challenged the
young p&#6619247;ple to ''The Work of This Generation.'' We have to go on with our
work. We can still lift up a banner against satan. Thousands of young p&#6619247;ple
over the earth have joined the march for Christ. Congregation sang "Stand
Up For Jesus."

4:48 Evaluating the Curriculum-Raymond Pruitt. Excerpts: The
College is conce&#7471214;ed with development of the student. Our curriculum is
conce&#7471214;ed with the total person. Tomlinson College recognizes the
responsibility which the Assembly has charged it. Our Cu&#7471218;iculum
Committee is spirit-filled and each qualified in his field. The purpose of our
college is to present the whole truth, to integrate the major &#6684777;elds of
le&#7471311;ing, to promote the re&#13238502;ation of Christian values and student
character; and the student to use his capabilities for the glory of God and
service of his fellowmen. The curriculum has been expanded, and we now
offer degrees in these major &#6684777;elds: Biblical studies, practical ministries,
-philosophy, th&#6619247;logy, education, Christian education, music, business
administration, secretarial science, physical science, biological sciences, pre
nursing, mathematics, liberal arts. Our philosophy should be C&#6815858;ist, person
and Church centered. The college exists &#6684783;r the student. God is served in the
pulpit, in the choir, in business offices, or wherever people are. The full-time
work of every Christian is to serve the Lord. "Scholarship With Spirit" is
our motto.
5:00 What's Happening in Student Affairs-Jerry Adams. Comments:
The students are taught by quali&#6684777;ed p&#6619247;ple. The student affairs involves
everyday life, and the most important is the spiritual aspect. We want the
best in scholars&#6815849;p, and my goal this year is for the Spirit of God to sweep
the campus greater than it did on the Day of Pentecost. We need qualified
young people. Just being qualified through the books is not enough. They
have to have the Spirit of God inside. ( He led in prayer asking all to join who
desire a revival on the campus of Tomlinson College.)
5:10 Phil and Betty Barker sang "Scholarship With Spirit"; President of
Student Gove&#7209183;ent Association Roy Miller spoke brie&#6684780;y. Randy Arnold
sang.
5:18 Defining Our Role-Robert J. Pruitt. Comments: In 1966, the
Church emb&#6357106;ked upon its first endeavor in the area of college education.
Tomlinson College came on the scene late in the progress of the Church this

92 MINUTES OF THE 6&#3735636;H ANNUAL ASSEMBLY
side of the Dark Ages. Most other religious organizations developed co&#7077996;&#6619239;es
e&#6357106;ly. The Church has never made &#6684783;&#7471213;al education a requirement in the
ministry but takes the view that a call into the ministry is between the
person and God. The Church recognizes the &#6488161;ll when it is su&#6684879;ciently
demonstrated. The effectiveness of that ministry depends a great deal upon
the individual. Failure lies with the individual who fails to quali&#6684793;.
Qualifications are not inbo&#7471214;. The capacity is natural, but the qualifications
must be developed and trained. An example is God dealing with Moses.
Moses had the inbo&#7471214; capacity for leadership, but it took eighty ye&#6357106;s of
academic and experimental le&#13566171;ng be&#6684783;re God got him ready for leader of
Israel. The Church must provide leadership to meet the spiritual channel it
faces. The qua&#13762770;cations of its leaders must increase with the demands of
their responsibilities. God has never used just &#6619236;ucated people to do His
work. In order &#6684783;r the Church to ful&#6684777;ll its mission, some wi&#7077996; have to have
more highly developed skills than others. This is where our Church College
can make its contribution. The Co&#7077996;ege cannot train all of the Church's
youth, but it is inconceivable that an organization as l&#6357106;ge as the Church
would not have an institution of higher lear&#7209065;ng for its constituents. Our
College is only one channel of tr&#6357097;ning in the Church. It is not to our credit
that some who have been obsessed with admiration of worldly minds have
been overwhelmed with arguments which con&#6684780;ict with the Bible. &#5505138;ue
le&#7471311;ing brings one into closer &#6684773;llowship with the Church and God. Our
institution gives opportunity to pursue le&#14352701;g in an atmosphere of
spiritual dedication. True education recognizes God as the so&#7667826;ce of t&#7471221;th,
&#6357102;d His Word as the final authority; it &#6619245;bodies Christian qualities w&#6815849;ch
foster the best relationship with saints of God and courts the favor of God.
The world talks of brotherhood of all mankind, but the Church must practice
it. Tomlinson College is struggling &#6684777;nancially. There have been some
mistakes in our brief history in our process of lea&#7471214;ing by trial and error.
The College wants to be in step with the Church to prepare o&#7667826; youth for
effective minist&#7471209;es. Our social &#6357102;d spiritual progr&#6357101;s are being developed
&#2883811; enhance the Christian way of life. Phil. 4:5; I Cor. 10:32. By your prayers
and fin&#6357102;cial support, we &#6357106;e asking you to give a chance to adjust.

Report of Tomlinson College Boa&#7471204; of Trustees
To the 69th Annual Assembly of the Church of God, Gr&#6619237;tings:
We, your Board of Trustees of Tomlinson College, submit the following
report:
1. Anticipated enrollment &#6684783;r the 1974-75 Fall Term is approximately
200. During the May Commencement exercises, degrees were conferred on
31 students.
2. Completion of the Mission Department Apartment Complex and the

MINUTES OF THE 69TH ANNUAL ASSEMBLY 93
new Student Lounge have enhanced the facilities of the college. A co
operative progr&#6357101; of maintenance and property improvement between the
General Properties Committee and the college has greatly added to the
physical plant this year.
3. The Board of Trustees sh&#6357106;es the concern as expressed by the General
Overseer in his annual address as to the future direction to be persued by the
College and endorses the plan of a comprehensive study in this matter.
4. The third year Bible oriented program is now operational and offers a
third ye&#6357106; of Bible and Church related subjects for ministerial students.
5. The Board of Trustees wishes to welcome several new incoming
instructors and staff members namely: Jacqueline Moore in So&#6488169;al Science
and English; Stanley L&#6357101;bert in Science Health and Physical Education;
Nieta Lambert in Language; Phil&#7077993;p Barker in vocal music; Lester
Wolfgong in Plant M&#6357097;ntenance.
Our most sincere and grateful appreciation is extended to Ellsworth and
Joyce Van Deventer, departing dorm advisors and instructors for their
tireless efforts and devoted service to the college &#6684783;r the past several years.
Their service has touched nearly all areas of college life and has been an
inspiration to many. May God bless them.
6. A new orientation course is required of all TC Students which includes
teaching on basic Church Doctrine-Advice to Members, The 29 Prominent
Teachings, the Body of Christ and the prominent rulings of the General
Assembly.
7. The Board of Trustees greatly appreciates the continued support of the
College by local churches, states, countries, and individuals. The current
policy regarding student account payment is working well. Many
outstanding accounts prior to the incorporation of the new policy have
placed a financial burden on the College hindering our ability to serve many
deserving students.
8. The term of Chester Williams expires during this Gener&#6357100; Assembly.
Brother Wi&#7078101;&#6357101;s has served the college faithfully for the past seven years.
His inspirational leadership and his devotion to this cause wi&#7077996; long be
remembered by those of us serv&#6881390;g with him.

5:45 Reaching Out to the Unreached-message by Arlynn White.
Excerpts: Mark 16: 15-20. This is one of the greatest commands in the Word
of God. We have no time to waste. We must respond now to reach the
unreached. People must be reached where they live. This gospel is universal,
and it &#7012462;ows no racial nor language ba&#7471218;iers. It will not be supressed by
territorial boundaries. God's Word is truth, and it must reach all men before
His coming. Psa. 24: 1, 2. Man has engineered great networks of super
highways like a giant spiderweb, but he has lost sight of the values on which
this and other great nations were founded. With scientific knowledge and
technology at an all time high, it would seem that man could contribute to
the betterment of this world, but he is faltering, groping his way &#6684786;om
crises to crises. Aren't we glad to be members of the Body of Christ, the
pillar and ground of the truth? The only hope for humanity in this sin
&#7340143;lluted world is Jesus Christ. We must go into the highways and the
hedges and reach them before the return of the Lord. I challenge us to lift up
our eyes and look on the fields for they are ripe and ready for h&#7471319;est. World
conditions should challenge every member of the Church of God to greater
action. John 6:5-11. A&#7077996; the Lord is asking of the Church is to be willing to
&#6750313;ve what we have. The Lord needs a willing vessel. Thank God for the
progress that has been made this year in the Church. It was not easy for our
fathers &#6881390; the faith, but they pressed ever onward. Our commission is to go
unto those who have not been reached with the fulness of the gospel of
Christ. I appreciate the Spirit of God moving on His p&#6619247;ple and causing
them to want to reach out to the unreached. Isa. 54:2-5. We have the
promise of God, and we are going to have a sweeping revival to climax the
ingathering of the other sheep. I thank God that Jesus purchased the
Church of God with His own blood. One day the work will be finished, and
we are going to s&#6619237; the Lord in His glory.

EVENING
6: 10 Praise service directed by Galathia Bowerman, interspersed with
choruses and music by Mickey Jones and helpers.
6:35 Singing by: Stan Wright; Rick Sloan Singers; Jerry Goins Singers;
Tonesmen; the Rossvi&#7077996;eaires; Mike Mangrum; The Bu&#7471214;ing Bush.
6:45 Music From Around the World-Horns for Missions is a program
designed to supply musical instruments to mission fields. Wanda Bell
obtained many instruments in Colorado, and she spoke brie&#6684780;y. Gerdia
Shewmaker told of getting instruments in Georgia. John Metaxas led the
Greek delegation in singing in their language.
7:33 World Mission Program directed by Charles G. Hawkins, Sr.
Comments and prayer by Sylvia Hardin. Overseers from abroad came to
platform as n&#6357101;es were c&#6357100;led.
7:48 Mission Representatives speak: Adrian L. Varlack: I f&#6619237;l a pressure
on the Church as the coming of the Lord draws near. Church leaders around
the world are b&#6619235;oming bewildered by dramatic changes. One cannot predict
with any certainty the happenings of tomorrow. Nations are pr&#6619247;ccupied
with the survival of their citizens who are threatened by inflation, famine
&#6357102;d disease. F&#6357101;ine has claimed thousands of lives throughout the world.
The world situation can be summed up in one word-chaos. The words of
our Captain Jesus Christ ring &#6684786;om Mt. Olive. Matt. 24:7. While religious
leaders are baf&#6684780;ed, the Church must display soberness and watch&#6684789;lness.
Our su&#7471222;ival is in the ete&#7471214;al destiny of the Church of God. While the world
preaches economic independence and security, we must preach self-denial
and heavenly treasures. While the world teaches nationalism and racism,
we must teach &#6553705;vine unity in an all-nations' Church. The door is open for
the Church to lead God's p&#6619247;ple out of ceremonies of org&#6357102;ized religions into
the glorious liberality of the children of God. M&#6357102; must hear the last days
message by a Church whose motto is self-denial and its security is in Jesus
Christ.
J. A. Reyes-Latin America is the only area in the world where the
number of p&#6619247;ple converted to Christ is growing faster than the population.
There is a big movement of the Holy Ghost. The &#6684777;elds &#6357106;e ready to harvest,
and 70 per cent of the protestant people have received the Holy Ghost.
Governments of Latin America are &#6684786;iendly to the protestant churches.
Brazil &#6684783;r the &#6684777;rst time has a protestant president, and the first count&#7471225; in
&#5439599;uth America to have a protestant president. In Argentina a group felt
they have to start something new in their worshipping, and they started
looking &#6684783;r the Ch&#7667826;ch of the Bible. In Ch&#6881388;e they are moving ahead with the
gospel of Jesus Christ. I was in Bolivia in April which was closed to the
gospel ten years ago. Last year a revival was started with a young man who

96 MINUTES OF THE 69TH ANNUAL ASSEMBLY
r&#6619235;eived the Holy Ghost, and he moved that city the way the-early Church
did. I believe the world has to &#7012462;ow the Church of God is in the cities where
we have churches. Bolivia is about 55 per cent of the entire population. We
organized a church while I was there in April. In July I visited again and we
organized six ch&#7667826;ches. We ne&#6619236; buildings so our people can have places to
worship. Pray for this field. Thank God because the Church of God has
reached another country with the whole message of the last days Ch&#7667826;ch.
C. C. Shia&#20971840;-1 have visited several countries this year; &#6553714;ove across
Europe; went to Greece, Turkey and Cyprus. You have heard about these
countries in the news. The Lord can undertake. War disaster in Cyprus. I
am w&#6619237;ping over my p&#6619247;ple. Most of our Church p&#6619247;ple have lost their
homes. I am hoping to arouse your interest so we can play a more active role
in world affairs by prayer &#6357102;d supplication to God. Luke 21:23, 26; I Thes,
5:3; Luke 21:34-36. Jesus is w&#7471311;ing us of materialism and so called
prosperity. These and kindred passions are making slaves of Christians. Sin
is a curse and a sure destruction of nations. The immorality we see &#6357106;ound us
would m&#6357099;e the inhabitants of Sodom and Gommorr&#6357096; blush. The Lord is
going to make material things too hot for us to handle. Lot's wife tried to
handle them. W&#13566171;ngs of doom and impending jud&#6750317;ent are not popular,
but p&#6619247;ple would rather he&#6357106; music that lulls their guilty consciences to
sleep. Jesus w&#7471311;ed His generation and ours of the dangers. The Apostle
Paul did repeatedly. II Tim. 3: 1. Our loving Saviour would not have us lose
hope, but rather awake and face our responsibi&#7077993;ties like sons and daughters
of God. The Word of God is given by inspiration of God. II Tim. 3:16; Titus
3: 12, 13. Greeks are scattered &#6357100;l over the world numbering about &#6684777;&#13304025;n
million. We have churches in Greece, C
&#7929968;rus, Australia, C&#6357102;ada and
Engl&#6357102;d. Pray for us and esp&#6619235;ially for our p&#6619247;ple in C

9:10 What We Need-message by Charles G. Hawkins, Sr. Exce&#7471216;ts:
Prov. 3:5; Prov. 8: 10; Prov. 16:16, 22. Most of us have a large list of things
we would &#7077993;ke to have, but none would be what we really need. We should
give serious thought to what we re&#7078093;y need to push the work of God
&#6684783;rward. We must tum to God. How can any of us think that we have the
answers to what it will take to reach the world with this message when the
task is so great? I Kings 3:7-12. Yes, we have problems, our Church has
problems, our &#6488175;untry has problems; the world has problems. These require
decisions. The results of these depend upon wisdom. We are not to lean to
our own understanding, nor be wise in our own eyes. How often have we
seen men confident of their capacities. We should wholeheartedly trust in
God. If we know we are in His plan, we can move forward with con&#6684777;dence.
He will see that we have all we need; help us to go the way that is best. We
are to acknowledge God by referring everything to Him. The shrewdest and
cleverest men n&#6619337; the guiding hand of a heavenly Father Who will conduct
us to truth, righteousness, wisdom and heaven. If we trust Him wholly, we
can exp&#6619235;t Him to lead our feet along the path of outward life, guide our
minds into the sanctu&#7471322; of heavenly truth and direct our steps to the gates
of the city of God and &#6684777;nally welcome us within its glorious streets. There
are many examples of men throughout Bib&#7077993;cal history that have willingly
put their trust in God. When David faced Goliath, his faith that God would
not fail Israel was unshakeable. We should be no less confident in the
Church today. If we can admit our &#6881390;sufficiency and seek His guidance, we
will reach perf&#6619235;tion. The Church has been compared to a great ship sailing
across the troubled seas of &#7077993;fe. There are many dangers lurking beneath the
waters. The captain must know the dangers that are on the course and must
steer the vessel and anticipate the dangers. This is not only t&#7471221;e of the
Church, but our personal lives. The Church is a great ship. It needs a
Captain (commander) and a pilot (steer the ship through difficult waters) to
make it to the shore safely.

9:54 Reaching Our Neighbors Across the Sea-sermonette by Gealeta M.
Johnson. Comments: Isa. 54:2. It is our duty as the Church of God to reach
our neighbor wherever we can. Our neighbors across the sea are in need of
the gospel and are helpless. Mark 16: 15. Jesus means for me to go. There are
four ways ·we can help our neighbor-personal contact, telephone, &#7798898;ite
letters telling how we and Jesus love them, and send them a helper.
Remember the Great Commission. When you go in the name of Jesus, you
are not alone-you have the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost. If you
cannot go and preach the gospel, you can send a helper. ( Congregation stood
and paused in silent memory of these secretaries who passed away this year:

11 :25 Prayer led by Frank Howard. What In the World Am I Doing &#6684783;r
Heaven's Sake-message by Elva Howard. Excerpts: We are here because
God placed us here. Job 10:8a, 9a. There is a reason for each life. God made
us. Isa. 64:8; Isa. 43:21; John 15:16; John 4:10; Rom. 9:20, 21; Eph. 2:10.
When we were bo&#7471214;, we are His. The song "Bo&#7471214; to Serve the Lord" is an
inspired compilation of the designed life of a Christian. Ex. 21:2-6 gives a
detailed account of what the Master is to do with the servant. For six years
the servant is solely possessed by the master. The seventh year he can go

100 MINUTES OF THE 69TH ANNUAL ASSEMBLY
&#6684786;ee or if he makes a declaration of love and desires to stay with his master,
his ear is pierced. The pierced ear means many things. It is a responsive e&#6357106;,
listening &#6684783;r his voice; it is the ear of obedience &#6357102;d loves to he&#6357106; his voice;
he has no reservations, no retreat, no ret&#7471331;, and no regrets. There is a great
difference in a servant and a slave. A serv&#6357102;t serves his master. A slave is
the master's possession. Psa. 40:6. If we are to be successful workers &#6684783;r
God, we must be the s&#6357101;e. Christ is Lord. We &#6357106;e here to serve the Lord.
Moses commanded the p&#6619247;ple to love the Lord and serve Him only. That is
the only way it will work, because He is a jealous God. Matthew says we
can't serve two masters. Are we as Christians pro&#6684773;ssing this undying love
and each day busily engaged in o&#7667826; o&#7798894; doings? Matt. 6:20, 21; I Tim. 6:9-
12. Paul wanted Timothy to follow after the things that &#6357106;e ete&#7471214;al. I believe
Paul is giving that same charge to us through these words. If we had two
boxes, one marked heaven's sake and the other earth's sake, if there were a
way to tabulate everything we did in a day, which box would contain the
most? Yes, I am alarmed. A lady lay dying who had ministered twenty-five
ye&#6357106;s to the hill people of Kentucky. Her sister asked her, "Is there a final
message you want me to tell those people?" With her last breath, she said,
"Tell them nothing matters but JESUS."

1:30 Clate E. Raymond, Ex&#6619235;utive Director of Mid-American Sunday
School Association. Excerpts: Everybody who comes to Sunday School
ought to stay &#6684783;r church, and everybody who comes to church ought to come
for Sunday School. I am for radio, TV, Mass Media, but revivals will be
through the local church. The &#6750322;eatest medium of reaching men, women,
boys and girls, and all the world is Sunday School. A recent survey showed
one reason for the Church not having in&#6684780;uence is because it is too involved
in political views and not preaching the Word of God. We are called to
preach the Word and not to run a social agency. Planning is knowing where
you are go&#6881390;g. If you don't know where you are going, you will not know
when you arrive. There is nothing wrong with a small Sunday School, but
something is wrong if it stays small. One out of every forty-seven go to
Sunday School in America. Ex. 14: 15. Some things causing growth:
Communication through contact. I was in Florida recently, and the people
had had two all-night prayer m&#6619237;tings, and nothing happened. I told them

MINUTES OF THE 69TH ANNUAL ASSEMBLY 101
to stop praying and go to work. God will assist you in building through
visitation. Acts 5:42. The secret of the 100 l&#6357106;gest Sunday Schools is not
their facilities, not their preachers, but their visitation programs. Visitation
is essential. The kind of example you are is more important than how many
diplomas you have. To communicate and become con&#6684777;dent, you must be
trained. Let's be qualified to commu&#7209065;cate the Word of God. Acts 3:1-6.
There are more young p&#6619247;ple ready to listen to your message from the Word
of God than ever before. We must be concerned. You know why our kids
don't pass out tracts more, why they don't visit more? Their moms and dads
don't do it. It is what you get done that counts. Give us a concern that we
will reach this world for Jesus Christ through the quest for quality
through the Sunday School.
2:15 Song by Betty Rab&#7471331;. Quest For Quality-message by J.C. Cagle.
Excerpts: Acts 6:2, 3, 7. It might seem that many preachers spend much
time telling what is wrong with the Church. Some might wonder if there is
anything right about the Church. In spite of a few weak points, the Church
of God is the greatest force in this world. I believe it is the stablizing factor
which is keeping the world &#6684786;om &#6684769;lling apart. When the early Church had
grown into pro&#7340143;rtions that n&#6619235;essitated the instituting of new offices to
meet the demands of a growing membership, a general assembly was called.
In this assembly they were searc&#6815849;ng &#6684783;r qualified leaders, and the office of a
deacon was instituted. Sometimes to build big Sunday Schools we work on a
yo-yo basis-up and do&#7798894;. The early Church sought quality and they
multiplied. We will have problems as long as we are in the world.
Satisfaction is an inte&#7471214;al enemy at work. We n&#6619237;d to become so dissatisfied
that we will do something about it. Unconcern is an enemy. Some complain
about being overworked, but we are not as overworked as we are under moti
vated. Nehemiah became so dissatisfied with conditions in Jerusalem that
he got the attention of the king, and the king asked him what he desired.
The king gave Nehemiah twelve years leave of absence to go to the holy city
to rebuild the walls of Jerusalem. He gave him requisitions to obtain
material along the way, and man power to help. Nehemiah would never have
convinced the king had he not &#6684777;rst shown he was interested in the program.
We never know what we can do until we try. Moses decided to lead his
brethren out of bondage. He slew an Egyptian, had to flee &#6357102;d was gone
&#6684783;rty years. Then God appeared to Moses and told about the cry of His
people &#6881390; Israel and He would send Moses to deliver His people. Moses said
it wouldn't work; he had tried it once. Moses had the call of God upon his
life, and finally realized he was to deliver the people of Israel out of bondage,
but he tried the program without the direction of God. The direction of God
in what we are doing will bring results. Nowhare in the Bible is there a
command for sinners to go to ch&#7667826;ch, but the Bible is full of commands for
the believer to go where the si&#7209070;er is. We talk about our visitation program
and it won't work; we have already fished the pond. When some people
argued with Jesus that they had fished the lake and there was no need to go
again, He gave sp&#6619235;ific instructions which brought results. A. J. Tomlinson
felt that each had more in him, &#6357102;d he suggested we put it into operation for

102 MINUTES OF THE 69TH ANNUAL ASSEMBLY
the Church of God. Could we be suffering from materialistic things?
Darkness is closing in on the world, and the Church of God has a great job.
When the &#6684777;nal bout is over, the Church will flash the victory sign so all the
world wi&#7077996; see the triumphant Church. The Church may have to be knocked
to her knees one more time. Jacob is a type of the Church, and he tried all
kinds of programs. He finally solved the problem by praying through. I
challenge you to pray t&#6815858;ough and let us get the direction of God in what we
are doing. The search is on for quality leaders in this &#6684777;nal round.

3:10 The Value in Enlargement C&#6357101;paigns-Caroline Ledbetter.
Summary: We could never realize the values of an enlargement campaign
until we recognize the opportunities available and do something about
these. Matt. 13:44-46. The beg&#6881390;ning of the enl&#6357106;gement was on the Day of
Pentecost when 3,000 in one day were added to the Church. From that day
&#6684783;rward they went everywhere sharing the news of what Jesus had done.
Opportunities in enlargement are: evangelism, instructing in holy and
righteous living, and total involvembnt of our congregation. A business man
was asked his personal formula &#6684783;r success, and he said "God." John 3:16;
Let us advance into the &#6684777;elds that are white to harvest.
3:24 Called to Teach Course-Dee Ann Boettcher (Scheurer) told of
teaching the course in the evening during Cleveland's Bible Training
Institute; 100 received certificates.
3:30 Tomlinson Home for Children-Delmar Spurling, Superintendent.
Expressed appreciation for those participating in raising $20,000 this year.
Homes are operating in Cleveland, India, Korea, Indonesia and Mexico with
232 children receiving care this year. Less children are being cared &#6684783;r in
Cleveland, but more in our homes than ever. The Gove&#7471214;ment f&#6619237;ls that
children should be in foster homes rather than institutions. Caring for &#6684783;ster
children is a good ministry, &#6357102;d many of our members are doing this.
Introduction of those who had formerly been in the homes.
4: 10 Arkansas and Louisiana Overseers H. M. Biggers and Thomas M.
Feltman, Jr., assisted by their workers telling ways they are striving to
reach every person in their states with the Church of God message.

&#7012462;own: signs giving locations and welcome; attractiveness of local church
property, use Yellow pages in telephone directory; &#7077993;st church in city
directory and motels; some of our ministers serve as chaplains in motels and
hospitals; ladies can do hospital volunteer work; dial-a-prayer ministry;
advertise through newspapers, radio and television; our ministers can be
made known through the Ministerial Alliance. Each of us are public
relations-we represent the Church of God, and a local church must have a
real spirit of love to have a desirable effect on the community. John 13:35
7:23 Tennessee Choir directed by Larry Duncan. Television Ministry
Verlin Tho&#7471214;ton: On D&#6619235;ember 8, 1973, an exciting new ministry began for
Arizona. Arizona and Nevada singers taped programs &#6684783;r Christmas Eve
and New Years Eve. About a week after the New Year's Program was
broadcast, a couple called asking if we were the people that had the New
Year's special program. They said they enjoyed the program and would like
to know the nearest church. They have been there every Sunday since. The
middle of February we went on television Sunday evening at six o-clock. The
Church of God of Proph&#6619235;y is getting before people who have never he&#6357106;d
about it before, and the four churches in the Phoenix area have had direct
results. This has been done by the grace and glory of God, and we are using
local talent and local p&#6619247;ple.
7:46 Communicating the Gospel Through Better Public Relations-Bill
Randolph. Excerpts: Acts 1:8b. We sing "Rescue the Perishing," but we
can't drop our hymn books long enough to lift the falling. Our commission is
to go into &#6357100;l the world to preach the gospel to every creature. It is not pray
ye, but it is go ye. We boldly proclaim that our Master warned us
against worldly attractions, and the Apostle John instructed us to love not
the world, neither the things that are in the world. It is the spirit of the
world we are to shun, and not the world of men. Doors of opportunity have
opened everywhere, and this is the day for the Church of God of Prophecy to
arise and shine. Not until we can say with Eze&#7012457;el, "I sat where they sat,"
can we offer assistance of God to those around us. We must m&#6619237;t them on
their level and understand their needs. The Apostle Paul declared to Festus
in the court of Agrippa that this was not done in a comer. Again we read
that ifour gospel be hid, it is hid to them that perish. We must assume this
is to be published in the streets, in the market places, on the housetops and
around the world. The task cannot be performed until we establish good
relations with those whom we are endeavoring to reach. Take h&#6619237;d, Church,
that pr&#6619235;ious one whom we treated as a goat and tu&#7471214;ed away might very
well have been a lost sheep. The children of darkness are wiser in their
generation than the children of light. This is most easily disce&#7471214;ed in the
&#6684777;eld of public relations. You don't carry on good business with a customer
&#7667822;less you have proper relations. The world of business has discovered this,
&#6357102;d it is time &#6684783;r the Church, the greatest agency in the world, whose
business it is to deal with immortal souls, le&#7471311; these truths. The Master
demands us to c&#6357106;e. We are His witnesses and His offspring. We cannot

MINUTES OF THE 69TH ANNUAL ASSEMBLY 105
ignore the command of the Lord just be&#6684783;re His bloody ordeal at Calvary.
He washed the disciples' feet and the last supper had just ended, re&#6357100;izing
his time was short John 13:33-35. The world is starving &#6684783;r the bread of life.
It is parched with thirst; we have the water of li&#6684773;; it is lost; we have &#6684783;und
the way; it is dying; we have the life giver; it is at war; we have a peace that
passeth all understanding. These precious things shall never be theirs until
we relate to them. ( concert prayer)
8:05 Servicemen's Program in charge of William H. Brooks. Servicemen
marched in as the trumpet sounded. Concert prayer for our servicemen, led
by mi&#7077993;tary chaplains. Choruses led by Eddie Mounce.
8:24 William Brooks expressed appreciation for the servicemen by
reading excerpts &#6684786;om letters he received during the year. Larry T&#7471331;er
European Coor&#6553705;nator spoke of ministering to the Military in Germany.
Eddie Mounce Hawaiian Coordinator told of the Servicemen's Retreat in
Hawaii and e&#6684774;orts to minister to their needs. Douglas Stevenson, chaplain
&#6357102;d Korean C&#7274607;rdinator, spoke of his work. Roberta Matthews sang as
of&#6684773;ring was r&#6619235;eived.

Romans 12: 1-12 read by Ronnie Prosch; prayer by J. W. Nobles.
9:00 Message by C. T. Davidson. Excerpts: Eph. 4:11, 12. We have our
places in the body; we have our places in the ministry. There are many
phases of the ministry. Some may fit in one facet and some another. Who
gave the apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors and teachers? This is the
work of God and it is not meant for either to criticize or say anything
contrary to what God may move upon us to do. God gave these &#6684783;r the work
of the ministry. The Bible says if a man be great, let him be your minister.
Jesus said, if a man will be chief, let him be your servant. We have to move
toward perfection. The ministry should be first in our lives. We had better
listen to the Lord. A preacher has to seek God constantly._ We need contact
with God no matter how much we know. We shine brightest in the pulpit if
we let God work through us. After the resurrection, Jesus had &#6684783;od prepared
&#6684783;r His disciples who had gone fishing. He t&#7667826;ned to Simon Peter, the
spokesman. John 21:15. Lamb is a young sheep. You will have some young
sheep who don't understand as the older sheep. Unless we feed our sheep,

106 MINUTES OF THE 69TH ANNUAL ASSEMBLY
they &#7798889;ll not be strong enough to withstand the e&#7733353;l that comes. The
ministry is given &#6684783;r the perfecting of the saints. The pastor is about the
closest to you of anybody in the Church. We all have our part in this, but
your pastor deals specifically with the &#6684780;ock. He has to be everything to
everybody. Sunday mo&#14352604;g is feeding time for the saints of God. That is
when he builds them up in spirit and in the doctrine &#6357102;d practices of the
Church. That pastor as he stands at the door and shakes hands with people
leaves an image. He makes contact. People of different vocations come to
&#6684777;nd something for their souls, and he should be so involved in the
deliverance of sp&#7471314;tual things that he s&#6619237;s noth&#6881390;g but Jesus Christ and His
Church. Sometimes we feel inadequate to cope with the situation, but God
will give any minister strength and power if only we can open our hearts to
Him.

110 MINUTES OF THE 69TH ANNUAL ASSEMBLY
Again this year, a considerable amount of my time and effort has b&#6619237;n
utilized to encourage and organize for greater results in working in new
fields, and with small churches. We would not have been able to do this, had
it not b&#6619237;n for the cooperation of the State Overseers, District Overseers,
pastors and members in the states where we were privileged to work.
Through this unity we were able to work as a force in districts that brought
rewarding results. I personally labored in three new fields this year; one
church was organized and I assisted in organizing another. I corresponded
and sent materials to workers on the fields to aid the work.
I thank God &#6684783;r the &#7798889;sdom and broadening of our vision and scope in
Evangelism, that not only is there an evangelization for the "lost or
unsaved" but also an evangelization for the "other sheep." We were able to
witness crusades where God directed our messages for the ministry of
evangelism &#6684783;r other sheep, not knowing that most of our congregation were
already Christians, but through obedience we saw additions to the church.
I made a tour throughout Easte&#7471214; Canada with the Overseer for the
purpose of encouraging the ministers and workers and boosting new &#6684777;eld
efforts.
I coordinated with the Bible Training Institute Department and served as
teacher in the school in Toronto, Canada.
I preached the dedicatorial message for one church and served as
moderator and preached the dedicatorial message for one church parsonage;
I assisted in two funerals.
Greater enthusiasm is increasing among our ministers. Again this year,
some states are striving to organize a mission in each district. According to
the information I have received, there has been a total of approximately 7 4
missions organized t&#6815849;s year; &#6684786;om these missions, 11 have been org&#6357102;ized
into churches.
I have enjoyed my work for Christ and the Church, and I appreciate the
prayers and c&#7274607;peration of everyone that has worked to help promote
missions.

To the 69th Annual Assembly of the Church of God, Greetings:
Following much prayer, study and concentration, and a continued drive in
research for data and factual information that culminated in weeks and

MINUTES OF THE 69TH ANNUAL ASSEMBLY 111
months of composition, I finally completed the manuscript for Volume Two
of our Church History, "Upon This Rock". It is being released at this
Assembly.
I especially want to commend the noble efforts expended by Business
Manager H. L. Moore and Press Administrator Henry O'Neal, and their
able staff of assistants whose tireless and incessant labors have made
possible the hurried release of this Volume Two, so that you may have it in
your libraries this year. It is a great achievement in the publishing field.
This manuscript seemed to become a part of me and my faithful
companion, and is one of the most challenging assignments I have had in
my more than &#6684783;rty years in the ministry and work of the Church. I have
lived with it, slept with it, traveled with it, talked it, preached it ... and with
malice toward none have sought to write it for the future posterity of the
Church.
Besides this assignment I have participated in the &#6684783;llowing:
Attended the Sixty-eighth Annu&#6357100; Assembly in 1973.
Attend&#6619236; the Official Headquarters Staff Meeting, which was conducted

Spent about one month in resident research at Cleveland.
Addressed the Virginia State Staff Meeting, at the State Headquarters
Offices, September 24, 1973.
Addressed the "Men's Day" group in South Carolina, where I taught two
sessions of Church History.
Assisted in one wedding ... one ordination service ... and two church
dedication services at New Castle and Bluefield, Virginia.
Wrote lessons for both Junior and Senior Youth Camps, besides
contributing to our Church periodicals, and preparing history for the local

The glorious Church of God must be made known, as there is a great
spiritual move on all over the world. I have promoted the use of all available
means to propagate the Church of God message. It is thrilling to me to see
more and more mass media used throughout the Church. I long &#6684783;r the day
when the Church of God is on the lips of men all around the world. God's
spirit is now moving on Christians everywhere-they must &#7012462;ow where the
Body of Christ is.
This year, the Public Relations Director has represented the Church at
various conventions and meetings where this move was evidenced. It is

MINUTES OF THE 69TH ANNUAL ASSEMBLY 113
always exciting to share this great Church of God message with other
Christi&#6357102;s.
I made a world tour, visiting many of our ch&#7667826;ches and also independent
church groups in South Africa, Korea, and Thailand who have shown
interest in the Church of God. On this tour, I organized two new churches in
Thailand, and I visited many of our marker sites in Israel.
I have produced the weekly radio news broadcast, "This Is Today With
Religious World News" which is heard over several stations; wrote a regular
column &#6684783;r the White Wing Messenger, "Religious News of the World." I
have produced an audio/ visual pro&#6750322;am which introduces General
Headquarters buildings, the General Overseer, his sta&#6684774; and the world
ministries. This audio/visual program is available for local church use.
I have authored a new Public Relations book, "These Stones Speak,"
which is a book depicting Fields of the Wood markers in color and a history
of the marking projects around the world.
I have worked closely with the media; radio, TV, and newspaper
advancing all news items of the world ministries of the Church which were
newsworthy.
I have served on the World Headquarters Construction, Church of
Prophecy
•
Marker Association and Communications Department
Committees and served as secretary to the first two mentioned. Taught in
Bible Training Institute in Cleveland.
It has been a great joy to serve the Church.
I express my person&#6357100; appreciation to my family; Evelyn, Scott, and
Genise &#6684783;r their understanding and help in my church work responsibilities.
I further express appreciation to my competent secretary, Melva Pohlner,
who has fulfilled her responsibi&#7077993;ties splendidly.

As SERVICEMEN'S REPRESENTATIVE, I visited Chaplain
Stephenson at Ft. Leonard W&#7274607;d, MO. where I preached at &#6815849;s chapel. I
modera&#7602277;d Servicemen's Retreats at Berchesgaden, Germany and Waipahu,
Hawaii. I sponsored a lunch&#6619247;n for the servicemen and companions
attending the Cleveland Bible Training Institute. I visited and was in
worship service with servicemen in Germany, Thailand, Philippines,
Taiwan, Okinawa, Korea, Hawaii. A&#6553709;inistered communion and feet
washing to servicemen in Thailand. Sent monthly newsletters to
approximately 800 servicemen and women and gave personal attention to
their many letters. The dedicated assistance of Roberta Matthews, Hattie
Brooks and those who s&#6619250;ved on the retreat staff has certainly been an asset
to the Servicemen's Department.
My association, fellowship and work with the servicemen has been an
enjoyable experience. I only trust I have b&#6619237;n an inspiration and have
encouraged several to become active in witnessing and opening new
missions for Christ and His Church.
As WORLD LANGUAGE SECRETARY, I worked in the of&#6684777;ce 169
days, supervised the working staff, served as managing editor of the
Spanish White Wing Messenger, took care of the correspondence and other
business in conn&#6619235;tion with this of&#6684777;ce. The dedicated and capable assistance
of the translators, Margaret and Gabriel Montijo, Sr., E&#7471214;esto Reyes and
different overs&#6619237;rs along with the o&#6684879;ce secretaries, Phyllis Watson and
Diann Stewart has b&#6619237;n invaluable to the World Language Department.
My work and travels in connection with both departments took me into 11
countries, 13 states and 36 local churches. Along with my duties I served on
the Editorial Committee for Doctrine and wrote articles &#6684783;r both the English

MINUTES OF THE 69TH ANNUAL ASSEMBLY 115

To the 69th Annual Assembly of the Church of God, Greetings:
The writer of Hebrews stated in Hebrews, chapter two, verse twelve, "In
the midst of the Church will I sing praise unto thee.'' Thus the word of God
placed music right in the middle of church life, and that is where it belongs.
As Minister of Music, I served as music director for the Voice of Salvation
broadcast. As promotional director for the Broadcast Record Club, I
directed the arrangements for the record releases this year. Our financial
increase was considerably more than last year.
I served on the World Mission Corp board and was sponsor this ye&#6357106; for
the South Caicos Youth Mission Team, taught music in the Cleveland Bible
Training Institute and the West Coast Bible Training Institute. Attended
the Mid-America Sunday School Association meeting in Detroit, Michigan,
and made one tour with the music department and staff of Tomlinson
College.
Our Voice of Salvation Music Company has several songs ready &#6684783;r
publication. I assisted the state music directors with materials, handbooks,
music and promotion in our states and countries. We held several music
seminars this year. I assisted with the music in two of the regional mission
seminars directed by Elva Howard. Our "Ho&#7471214;s for Missions" project is
receiving excellent support from our churches. To date we have collected
and forwarded horns to n&#6619237;dy areas valued at more than $7,000.00. Several
states are working directly through the mission exchange country. Many
countries are desperately needing instruments &#6684783;r their growing music
program.
Gospel Music Camp, held at Tomlinson College, was outstanding this
year in the quality music training made available to our people. We urge all
to attend to better qua&#13762786; for the music ministry.

To the 69th Annual Assembly of the Church of God, Greetings:
Our mission work continues to move &#6684783;rward in unpr&#6619235;edented leaps into
new areas. New work has been established this year in Bolivia. The Church
is vitally conscious of the enormous task that she has: preaching, teaching,
and baptizing converts in every nation. Your World Mission Committee
de&#7077993;berates carefully and prayerfully over the funds entrusted to us for
distribution.
The October and March World Mission offerings set new records this
year. The total offerings collected were $226,468.64, an increase of
$45,697.04 over 1972-73. The World Mission Committee wishes to thank
every local ch&#7667826;ch and individual who contributed. We should like to urge
100% participation. All offerings collected for World Missions should be
handled as the Assembly has suggested.
World Harvest Funds continue to be used for unforeseen expenditures
and for individuals and countries for which they are designated. There is an
increasing number of people who are sending in monies for this fund and
these contributions prove very helpful to meet emergencies that &#6357106;ise in our
mission operations. All funds raised by a church or state &#6684783;r some special
need in the mission work should be m&#6357097;led directly to the World Harvest
Fund. Simply designate to whom or to what you wish your contribution
given.

The approp&#7471209;ations &#6684783;r the countries of Korea, Germany, Cyprus,
Colombia and the Dominican Republic are rather high this year due to
allocations toward National Properties in those countries.
The expenditure of $78,044.47 and an additional $15,000.00 Scholarship
Investment with Tomlinson College, is for Headquarter's Mission
Properties which include purchases, construction costs,.improvements, and
maintenance of properties that provide housing for students of Tomlinson
College. These are income producing properties and have an appraised value
of $120,000.00. Income from these properties has resulted an accumulated
Mission Scholarship Fund for qualifying students in the amount of
$9,202.40.

I've made calls on our work in 20 different countries this year. Besides the
teaching and preaching ministry, I have personally handled several business
matters connected with the work. I also traveled in 16 states d&#7667826;ing the ye&#6357106;
boosting the work of missions. I was also privileged to attend some
Minister's and National Conventions.
Besides regular correspondence and the normal work of the office, I've
written letters each month to the National Overseers, prepared messages for
the Mission Cry and promotional material for the March and October World
Mission Drives. I've served as Committeeman on the World Mission,
Ministerial Aid, and B.T.I. Committees. Also, as Chairman of the Youth
Mission Board and President of the Mission Aviation School.
I wish to make public my appreciation &#6684783;r the untiring efforts of my office
�taff: private secretary and of&#6684777;ce manager, Nellie Walker; Vera Herring,
Bookk&#6619237;per; Cheryl Malone and Olfa Reyes, Secretaries. I further
appreciate the loyalty of the Mission Representatives, Adrian Varlack, Jose
Reyes, and C. C. Shiakallis; &#7798889;th their efforts, my work has been much
easier.

Report of English Mission Representative
August 1, 1973 through July 31, 1974
To the 69th Annual Assembly of the Ch&#7667826;ch of God, Greetings:
God has wonderfully blessed me during the past year as I traveled to
twelve different countries, assisting the Overseers with their administrative
work, preaching, teaching, and attending to general church business. This
involved various investigations, property and finance, and governmental
relations. In my office, all correspondence has been answered, reports
written, and follow-up work c&#6357106;ried out.
In the course of my work, I attended nine National and Provincial
Conventions, one State Convention, two Ministers Conventions, one

126 MINUTES OF THE 69TH ANNUAL ASSEMBLY
District Convention, two Winter Retreats and one Youth Convention. I
taught in Bible Training Institute, (Canada), assisted with one Mission
Festival and participated in one Mission Convention.
At these and other activities, I preached one hundred thirty-five sermons,
visited thirty-five homes, held fifty-seven prayer meetings, baptized
nineteen in water and witnessed thirty-two testimonies of definite
experiences.
The office personnel of the World Mission Department has rendered
invaluable assistance throughout the year, and I commend them highly for
outstanding, dedicated service.
Thanks also to the general staff at Headquarters for their help,
cooperation and encouragement, without which my efforts would have been
hindered.
My sincere appreciation to my dear wife, Janice, who has been my faithful
partner in the ministry. Her understanding, patience and love has helped me
over many a hurdle throughout the year.

Served as Ev&#6357102;gelist &#6684783;r the Mission Crusade in Guatemala. I would like
to express my appreciation to E. E. VanDeventer and the group &#6684786;om the
States who contributed to the success of this crusade.
In coordination with National Overseers and the World Mission
Committee, I worked in the preparation of legal documents to register the
Church in the local governments of Latin America. This year we have
&#6684777;nished the proper registration of the Church in the &#6684783;llowing countries:
Venezuela, Dominican Repub&#7077993;c and Peru. The proper registration of the
Church in the government is very important for the right transaction of
business and securing Church p&#7471215;perties.
I served this year as Spanish Communications Minister. With the
assistance of my wife, we prepared the program &#6684783;rmat and recorded the
program for the Spanish Voice of Salvation. I maintained contact with all
the National Communication Directors, wrote and visited several radio
stations in behalf of the work, p&#7471205;pared material to boost the radio work in
the Spanish churches. We are broadcasting the Spanish program on 62 radio
stations in Latin America. Through the Spanish Voice of Salvation 994
units of the Body of Ch&#7471209;st co&#7471218;espondance course were distributed and
certificates were issued to 106 persons. The radio program has been a great
blessing to our people in this area and has helped the public relations of the
Church in Latin America.
In addition to my duties and functions as Spanish Mission
Representative and Spanish Radio Minister this year, I served on the Board
of Dir&#6619235;tors of the Tomlinson Home for Children, World Mission
Committee, and overseer for the country of Colombia.
In April of this year God gave me the privilege to take the glorious
Church of God message to Bolivia, South America, and establish the work
there. I had the honor to serve as overseer for this country since the work
was organized &#6684777;ve months ago. God has already blessed the Church
abund&#6357102;tly in this country.
In my office we also did the following translation work: 26 letters and 20
radio messages. Lessons material were prepared for Youth Camp and
Pastors Seminars.
I appreciate the dedicated assistance of my wife who has been a blessing
to my ministry. She has also served as office secretary, script writer and
announcer for the radio program.

I have visited the work of the Church in Greece and C
&#7929968;rus where I
attended the Conventions; I also visited Turkey and served as overseer.
Our people are serving God in a wonderful way, in spite of the adverse
conditions and many setbacks. We thank the Lord for His blessings
amongst our Greek people and for a greater unity that the Holy Spirit has
brought about.
One tragic event that has filled our hearts with great sorrow has been the
war in Cyprus. Our Overseer, Brother Charalambou and Brother Kounnas
have lost their homes and several other members from the town of Kyrenia
have lost their homes. We don't know as yet the fate of a n&#7667821;ber of our
relations, but we can only pray and trust God for their safety. They stand in
need of our prayers and &#6684777;nancial help as they have lost &#6357100;l their possessions;
they managed to escape with what they had on.
The n&#6619237;d is indeed very great among the Gr&#6619237;k people scattered all over
the world. Your prayers and support throughout the years are greatly
appreciated. We ask you to do even more in face of greater needs, and for the
Lord to send more labourers into His harvest field.

Questions and Subjects Committee Repo&#7471220;
To the 69th Annual Assembly of the Church of God, Greetings:
The Lord has been good to His Church to lead Her through another ye&#6357106;
of victories under the leadership of our General Overseer, Bishop M. A.
Tomlinson. It has been acknowledged many times that God's anointing is
upon him. We commend him for his leadership and especially for his Annual
Address delivered to this Assembly.
May we offer opportunity for a voluntary expression of confidence in our
General Overseer with a standing ovation at this time.

MINUTES OF THE 69TH ANNUAL ASSEMBLY 129
SECTION I
Whereas Bishop V. E. Hall has served faithfully &#6684783;r nine years as a
member of the Questions and Subjects Committee we wish to express our
sincere appreciation &#6684783;r his valuable service to the Church of God.
Appreciation is also extended to Bishop Lucian A. Brantley for his seven
years of service prior to his appointment as General A. B. M. Secretary.
These brethren e&#7471311;ed the resp&#6619235;t of those who served with them, and we
pray God's blessings upon them.
SECTION II
It has been called to our attention that many of our churches do not
conduct Vacation Bible Schools. Since this has been proved an effective arm
of outreach for those local churches employing it, we recommend that our
State Sunday School Secretaries give extra attention to the promotion of
Vacation Bible Schools.
We also reco&#7143533;end that the pastor make the appointment of the local
Vacation Bible School director at the same time he makes his appointments
of the other leaders. This would give the director plenty of time to plan and
promote Vacation Bible School all during the year.
SECTION III
This committ&#6619237; is in a&#6750322;eement with the General Overseer that Tomlinson
College needs and deserves the full support of our people. We endorse his
request that the College Board of Directors, d&#7667826;ing this Assembly ye&#6357106;,
make a comprehensive inter-Ch&#7667826;ch study to determine the desire of our
people conce&#7471214;ing the plan by which the College will best serve the Church
and that this board present its findings to the General Overseer for the
consideration of our next Assembly.
SECTION IV
The 62nd Assembly accepted the following recommendation &#6684786;om the
Questions and Subjects Com&#7143529;ttee report, Section 2 and 3. "After careful
and prayerful consideration of all findings of the Tabernacle Committee in
regards to the possibility of relocating our General Headquarters buildings,
we recommend that the General Properties Committee be advised to
purchase the 41-acre tract of land on Keith Street by-pass, to be used for the
relocating of our General Headquarters buildings .... In respect to the long
range plans of relocation of our World Headqu&#6357106;ters we recommend that
this Assembly place its approv&#6357100; on the building program as has been
proposed by the Tabernacle Committee and that those responsible for the
building program give its first consideration to the construction of a
Publishing House. We suggest that a committee composed of the General
Properties Committee and two or more others appointed by the General
Overseer be in charge of the building program on the new 41-acre tract and

130 MINUTES OF THE 69TH ANNUAL ASSEMBLY
proceed with construction as &#6684789;nds can be made available. This committee
would be called the World Headquarters Construction Committee."
Since that 62nd Assembly in 1967 the land has been p&#7667826;chased and a new
Publishing House has been er&#6619235;ted. The Communications Center property
has b&#6619237;n purchased and a new sound studio was added to the existing
structure. The most recent building to be completed is our new Assembly
Tabe&#7471214;acle.
We give thanks to God that so much has been accomplished in such a
short period of time. We feel our General Overseer is due much credit &#6684783;r
such rapid pro&#6750322;ess w&#6815849;ch probably would not have been realized without
his avid support.
There now remains only the building of the Headquarters Of&#6684777;ces to
&#6488175;mplete the proposed Headquarters Complex. We recommend this
Assembly recommit itself to the completion of this Headquarters Complex
as early as it would be possible to do so while following a sound fiscal policy.
We further recommend that the disposition of our old properties on
Central A venue be left to the discretion of our General Properties
Committee.
SECTION V
Auxiliaries
To retain its uniqueness as the Body of Christ the Church must be certain
it continues to operate according to God's plan for Her. At different
intervals God, through the Assembly, has placed auxiliaries within the
Church which we have accepted as helps and governments as refe&#7471218;ed to in I
Corinthians 12:28. These have been a help to us, both financially and by
nurturing the spirit in which the Church must do Her work.
There seems to be a trend developing to minimize the importance of the
auxiliaries and in some places the auxiliary services are carried out as
"token" services.
It is the feeling of this committee that the auxiliaries need to be
strengthened rather th&#6357102; to be weakened further by neglect. We strongly
urge our pastors to give their full support to the proper development and
utilization of the helps which God has given us.
SECTION VI
On the forms being used for Transfer of Membership, the following is
stated: "Transfers should be made only by order of the local church in
regular business session, or when a church ceases to function the overseer of

MINUTES OF THE 69TH ANNUAL ASSEMBLY 131
state can transfer members." We recommend this be changed to read,
"Transfers should be made only by order of the local church in regular or call
conference, or when a church ceases to function the state or national
overseer can transfer members." We feel there should not be undue delay in
presenting requests for transfers to the conference for action after they have
been received.
QUESTION: Who should take members into the Church after a revival,
the pastor or the evangelist?
ANSWER: We refer to an answer to a similar question in the Minutes of
the 21st Annual Assembly Questions and Subjects Committee report, page
48. "It is proper for the pastor to do this, but it is all right if the pastor
prefers the evangelist to do it. The evangelist is subject to the pastor."
QUESTION: "How is the Gleaner Band leader selected?"
ANSWER: We quote from the Questions and Subjects Committee Report
to the 65th Assembly: "We further recommend that the pastor appoint his
church leaders and officers any time at the pastor's discretion &#6684786;om the first
Sunday of August to the October conference."
It is the understanding of this committee that this would include the
Gleaner Band leader.

134 MINUTES OF THE 69TH ANNUAL ASSEMBLY
I attended the Mid-America Sunday School Association Convention in
Michig&#6357102;, attended a Denominational Executive Secret&#6357106;ies Commission in
Califo&#7471214;ia. Taught in Bible Training Institute in Cleveland and Califo&#7471214;ia,
directed the Fall and Spring Enlargement Campaigns, prepared and edited
several articles for the Sunday School issue of the White Wing Messenger,
&#7798898;ote two lessons for Sunday School Workshops, and edited the new
publication "Sunday School Helps and Hints For Pastors and
Superintendents.''
I have represented headquarters in 20 states and countries this year. I
have written the state and national secretaries monthly, written pastors and
overseers periodically and answered a&#7077996; daily correspondence. I served as
principle speaker in one Mission Festival, taught and preached in t&#6815858;ee
Sunday School and ABM Symposiums, prepared lesson materials in
Spanish and conducted Sunday School rallies and workshops in Puerto
Rico. I attended and assisted in one funeral. In addition to my regular work,
I preached in several local churches as invited, and spoke at the June 13,
Arise Shine Program in Fields of The Wood. I served on the Tomlinson
Home For Children Board of Directors and Music Department Committee.
I sincerely appreciate the cooperation of each of the State/National
Secretaries, pastors and superintendents in promoting the work throughout
the year. We were especially pleased with the extraordinary response of
pastors toward the Spring Enlargement Campaign. This was the first time
for the department to develop its own campaign materials, and the response
was encouraging. Commendation is due State Sunday School Secretary of
G&#6619247;rgia, Carolyn Ledbetter, for the fine work in developing the Spring
Campaign theme, "Let's Go Fishing" and the theme "Jesus Is The
Answer" for our upcoming fall campaign.
I am especially grateful to o&#6684774;ice secretaries, Jan Sullivan and Wanda
Hughes for their efficient work. They have made special contributions
toward any success this department has realized this year. Wanda Hughes,
with the assistance of Barbara Brantley, worked very conscientiously in
making preparations for this General Assembly.
Our appreciation also goes to the office workers, who so faithfully helped
during this Assembly.

The work of the department has been very challenging this year. It has
been a year full of mission activities such as:
Mission breakfasts, rallies, W.M.B. training, Mission Festivals and a
Mission Caravan to Latin America.
I am grateful for the opportunity to teach in Bible Training Institute
Cleveland and Fresno schools and the Body of Christ course in Oklahoma. I
have also taught mission classes in retreats and youth conventions, assisted
with Youth Mission Team orientation and served as sponsor for the Curacao
team.
I wish to express my gratitude to those involved in making Mission
Festivals a success. There were five this year which included a number of
state overseers, state secretaries, and many individuals who conducted

138 MINUTES OF THE 69TH ANNUAL ASSEMBLY
workshops or performed other duties. Pastors, leaders and members drove
many miles to attend. Brother Kendrick very graciously supplied us extra
help in the office. Brothers Varlack, Brantley, Cagle, Barker, and Liberato
contributed by teaching and assisting in other ways. I can well report to you
... this was our most successful mission venture during my tenure of of&#6684777;ce.
I also appreciate my secretary, Juanita Cannon who is not only efficient
as a secretary but assumed other responsibilities while I was in festivals.
Because of this I have been able to keep in contact with the state secretaries
and have a very effective communication with the National secretaries.

Ministerial Aid Committee Report
To the 69th Annual Assembly of the Ch&#7667826;ch of God, Greetings:
We respectfully submit the following Annual Report for your
consideration and approval.
The phrase, "Thank you", is an expression of appreciation for a gift, a
favor, or a deed. We would be much poorer in our lives if we did not say
"thank you" to those who have assisted us. The Committee says "thank
you" to God for His providing the means to carry on the work of the
Ministerial Aid Department, also a "th&#6357102;k you" to our beloved, heroic
ministers who have given so much of themselves to the Call of the Gospel,
but now some of them are unable to respond to the Call as they once had.
It is not only a pleasure but a great honor to help our beloved ministers in
the sunset years of their lives. This Committee feels very deeply about the
welfare of our ministers and is constantly searching &#6684783;r improvements in
the present benefits, as well as setting goals to take care of projected
increases and needs.
One of the goals is to provide a home for our worthy aged ministers who
are not able to care for themselves. The Committee has taken the first step
toward that goal, in purchasing a three-acre tract of land immediately
adjacent to the new Wildwood Church property, Cleveland, TN. It is hoped
that in the near future the Church wi&#7077996; see the &#6684786;uition of this goal through
the erection of a combination Minister's residence and Health Care facility

MINUTES OF THE 69TH ANNUAL ASSEMBLY 139
for our aged ministers. God will help us to achieve this goal as He has helped
us in other areas.
The results of the "Special Survey of Pastors and Evangelists Who are
Employed Elsewhere" that was conducted during the Assembly year 1972-
73, has been evaluated by the Ministerial Aid Committee. In accordance
with the information obtained in the Special Survey, the Committee decided
that the present benefits for pastors &#6357102;d evangelists who are employed
elsewhere in ad&#6553705;tion to their pastorate or evangelistic assignment, are in
line with their ministerial activity, therefore recommendations for additional
benefits could not be quali&#6684777;ed.
There has been a great interest shown for the Church to provide a
hospitalization plan for the ministry and members of the Church. Since
July, 1973, lea&#6553705;ng insurance companies have been contacted and in most
instances proposals were made by th&#6619245;. Most of the proposals required
75&#2883643; participation by the ministry plus 25 % contribution by the Church
toward payment of the premium. These requirements have hindered in most
instances, for the Church to implement a hospitalization plan, as the
participation requirement was most difficult to attain, and the premium
contribution requirement was impossible. Other plans that did not require
the foregoing requirements, either the provisions of the plan were not
adequate, or the premium was prohibitive.
During the past Assembly year, your Ministerial Aid Committee has held
14 meetings in which they approved ten applications for Retirement,
seventeen for Modified Retirement and eleven for Disability Retirement.
Thirteen recipients have passed away and allotments for six recipients were
cancelled for various reasons.
Applications were approved for eight widows of former recipients of
Ministerial Aid benefits to receive &#6684777;fty per cent of their deceased husband's
allotment. Four applications were approved for widows of deceased full-time
ministers to receive assistance. The retirement application of one lay
employ&#6619237; was approved to receive monthly assistance, making a total of
fifty-one applications approved for the Assembly year, an increase of
nineteen over last year.
We now have seventy-one ministers receiving Retirement benefits; fifty
two are receiving Modified Retirement benefits; 121 are receiving Disability
benefits; seventy-five widows of ministers are receiving assistance; six lay
employees are receiving Retirement benefits, making a total of 325 receiving
assistance from the Ministerial Aid fund, an increase of thirty-six people
over last ye&#6357106;.
Appreciation Certificates in recognition of at least twenty-five years of
faithful service were awarded to Paul P. Costas, Greece, and W. J. Rawls of
Kentucky.

140 MINUTES OF THE 69TH ANNUAL ASSEMBLY
This year &#6684783;rty-&#6684777;ve of our ministers passed away. We also r&#6619235;eived late
reports &#6684783;r nine additional ministers who had passed away prior to the 1973
Assembly. The Ministerial Aid Committee approved twenty-seven Proofs of
Death with a total of $24,900.00 being paid &#6684786;om the Ministerial Aid fund to
the beneficiaries.
The Committ&#6619237; provided thirty-eight 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 to each recipient of a Church Flag.
The Church of God of Prophecy Pension Plan now has a total cash value
of $74,698.00. We have eighty-seven ministers enrolled as active
participants.

To the 69th Annual Assembly of the Church of God, Greetings:
The demand for the services as offered by the Ministerial Aid Committee
and Church Benefit Association increased over last year, and we appr&#6619235;iate

Ruth Galloway, Esther Wag&#6357106; and Earlene Bishop, who have rendered
great service in our office. Also appreciation to Linda Higgins, Judy

Church Benefit Association Report
August 1, 1973 thr�ugh July 31, 1974
To the 69th Annual Assembly of the Church of God, Gr&#6619237;tings:
141
The year 1961 was the beginning of your Church Benefit Association.
During these thirteen years, 562 families have been paid $683,838.88 in
death cl&#6357097;ms. In many instances, this was the only insurance coverage they
had.
In the latter part of this assembly year, our underwriters made available
additional ins&#7667826;ance coverage which also included double indemnity that
could total as much as $30,000.00 in case of accidental death for a very low
monthly rate of $4.50. There has been a great response to this offer by our
Association membership, however it was too late to include the results of
the response in this ye&#6357106;'s report.
For those who may not know, the fees which the Association receives
&#6684786;om the insurance underwriters pays all the salaries of the office personnel,
office furnishings and equipment. During the last two years office
equipment has b&#6619237;n purchased to help upgrade our work and service, which
accounts &#6684783;r the small balance in the operating expense. Payments on these
purchases will be concluded this year.

In addition to the regular administrative duties of the college, I taught
courses in Speech and English Literature. I attended four state
conventions-one by assignment &#6357102;d three by invitation-representing the
college. The total number of classes taught and sermons preached other
than the academic classes and chapel talks, was 41. I taught two seminars at
the Mid-America Sunday School Association Convention in Detroit,
Michigan, taught in the Baltimore, Maryland Sunday School and Music
Semin&#6357106;, the Youth and Sunday School Convention in Toronto, Canada and
attended other professional and administrative meetings.
I am deeply indebted to those who have given me counsel and assistance
this ye&#6357106; in this new assignment. Special gratitude is expressed to the
General Overseer, the Bo&#6357106;d of Trustees, Gener&#6357100; Workers, State Overseers,
Pastors, and other individuals who have graciously given of themselves to
further the work. Special recognition is given to the work rendered beyond
the call of duty by the faculty and staff in the many trying and difficult
situations we faced this year. The Curriculum Committee is commended for
its efficient and quality work on the new college catalogue and to the efforts
of Director of Student Affairs Raymond Pruitt in the development and
printing of the Student Guide. I deeply appreciate the experience of having
worked closely with Charles Hawkins and the World Missions Department
in the area of student housing, with Delmar Spurling the Chaplain of the
College and G. A. Wilson, Tabe&#7471214;acle Manager and General Properties
Maintenance. I have depended heavily on the dedication and assistance of
my executive secretary and bookkeeper Linda Bridges, who has been
indespensible in this new and unfamiliar work.
Grateful appreciation is extended to the states and their overseers who
are assisting those attending Tomlinson College from their states with

MINUTES OF THE 69TH ANNUAL ASSEMBLY 143
scholarships. This is a growing source of assistance to the college and to the
young people who receive the scholarships. The increase in the Assembly
offering is gratefully acknowledged and the results will appear in the White
Wing Messenger.
A sp&#6619235;ial word of thanks is due Chester Williams, the retiring member of
the Board of Trustees, and to Ellsworth and Joyce V anDeventer who have
served so faithfully and contributed so much in the years they served as
Resident Advisors.
Other individuals and institutions which have made substantial
contributions either in cash or supplies are:
Betty Tibke
Chris Counnas and Textron Corp.
Sidney Whitlock
Enmerson Hall

Last but certainly not the least in importance are the fine students of
Tomlinson Co&#7077996;ege both past and present who by the testimony of their lives
&#6357102;d faithful service to God have helped to show the virtues of our Church
institution. May God bless each one of them. They are the reason for our
existence. We covet your continued prayers for them and for us.

In addition to the above, I was interviewed on two radio stations; was
guest speaker at the Arkansas Youth Round-up and West Texas Youth
Convention; taught Bible in two classes in the Cleveland, Tennessee B.T.I.;
was guest speaker at a Christian men's breakfast meeting and in
interdenominational m&#6619237;tings in Jerusalem.
In my work of promoting the markers in other countries, I visited Israel
three times and Turkey once, spending a total of nearly four months in
Israel and Turkey; also visited Cyprus and was in their convention.
I am happy to report that we were able to make good progress in the
negotiations for the markers in Israel and the road to the Hittin Marker.
Doors that were closed to us were opened to us after many hours of prayer
and fasting, and the Israeli officials expressed their complete willingness to

MINUTES OF THE 69TH ANNUAL ASSEMBLY 145
assist us in any way they could. I will list the individual projects that God
helped us in special ways to make good progress:
1. The road to Hittin was extended all the way to the highway and the
primary coat or surfacing is at this time &#6684777;nished, or almost so. I am
inserting a paragraph &#6684786;om a letter I received from the Advocate on August
12th:
"I would like to inform you that the work on the road at the Horns of
Hittin is progressing nicely and I hope that within a few days the contractor
will finish the work competely. In the meantime a number of busses with
tourists have already used the road."
This brought to my mind the group of guides in a Jerusalem hotel who
were discussing their groups and trips to Galilee. They were unanimous in
their agreement that the Hittin marker was the most inspiring and
enjoyable of all the places they visited in all Galilee. When they noticed me
standing nearby, they asked when we were going to &#6684777;x the road so they
could take their groups to visit it again. I assured them we were working on
this at the time. This letter makes us know they were sincere in their
discussion. In regard to the proposed new fence of stone around the
monument (marker), the Planning Commission representative has given
verbal consent, as well as the Ministry of Religion through Dr. Colby and
the Park Authority by Mr. Yan&#6357097;-so there seems to be no problem here.
The contractors have agr&#6619237;d to black top the road as soon as the pressing
military contracts are &#6684777;nished, and this should be sometime this fall or
winter.
2. Bethel: Negotiations were successful in securing a plot of ground for
the erection of a marker here on a twenty-&#6684777;ve year lease, with choice of
renewing the lease. The owner and his representative are ready for us to
start. A temporary lease has been sent &#6684783;r translation and when we can go
and sign the permanent lease before an Israeli Notary Public, we can begin
work on a fence and the marker. The lot is in a good location very near the
old village square.
3. Caesarea: We have full support from the Israeli officials for acquiring
property and er&#6619235;ting this marker. The location recommended by the Park
Authority is the property of another church group. We were advised as to
what steps to take, and the Advocate has made the proper start of
negotiations. A letter of information has been sent and we are now awaiting
a reply. Much prayer is needed with reg&#6357106;d to this decision. This is one of
the doors that we had closed to us in the past but now God has moved and
we have hope of success.
4. Nicaea and/or Iznik: In regard to this marker where the Council of
Nicaea was held, the Turkish o&#6684879;cials are in a terrific inte&#7471214;al struggle as to

146 MINUTES OF THE 69TH ANNUAL ASSEMBLY
whether to denounce all religions and their activities and make Turkey a
closed Moslem state, or whether to continue some religious tolerance-a few
years ago the state was 96.7% Moslem, so you can see the tolerance is
&#7078099;eady small. However, our God is able and this is one of the very
important markers in the twelve historical markers that will tell the story of
Christ &#6357102;d the Church. Here again, much prayer is needed, and the lawyer
states that for the moment we must continue to wait.
5. Mt. Ebal: This marker is to be placed in the valley between Mt. Ebal
and Mt. Gerazim near Jacob's well and Joseph's Tomb. It will also be near
the Samaritian Village. This appears to be the Valley of Shechem mentioned
in the Bible.
We had never been able to get an audience with the officials of Noblus,
which takes in all these areas mentioned above, until this year. By God's
help I met twice with the Vice-Mayor and in-between visits, he met with the
city council and gave them a copy of the proposed text in Arabic. They gave
their consent &#6357102;d stat&#6619236; their willingness to assume responsibility for the
watch-care of the monument and referred me to the Moslem Religious
Council. I was unable to arrange a meeting before leaving Israel, so this is
still pending. At the first opportunity this should be carried on to
&#6488175;mpletion, along with the other two markers in Israel. While we have this
favorable attitude from these, both Arab and Jew, this should be pursued
and these historical markers completed so we could move on to the visual
aids to make known the story of "The Written Vision," spoken of by the
prophet.
In general, I found a much greater response and an increased favorable
attitude in response toward our marking program in Israel, and it seems
that now is the time to press &#6684783;rward in this very important work. The
General Overs&#6619237;r, Brother Pennington and the CPMA Committee have
given valuable support to the work this year, and they should be supported
by our prayers and finance so the work &#7798889;ll not be hindered.
In addition to working with the marking program this year, I was asked
to see if I could find suitable property in the Jerusalem Area that the Church
could buy or lease. Much time was spent in prayer and searching, and
property was located both for lease and for sale. This information was also
passed on to the General Overseer and the Committees. One very good and
well located piece of property that is or was for sale would do well for
residence, and also for the proposed picture gallery for tourists. I must also
express appreciation for my wife and myself &#6684783;r your prayers and support
this year. Anita made two trips to Israel this year, and was with me when
the October war broke out. She joined me again in January and February for
a month. It was a rough time with some unpleasantries but God was with
us. She did the secret&#6357106;ial work for me as needed and also kept the home

going while I was away. Again, thanks for your prayers and kind words.

The Church has been given the commission to preach the gospel of Jesus
Christ to every creature. The population of the world is almost &#6684783;ur billion.

is experienced; however, it seems there must be a greater surge of
evangelization in the regions beyond. Indonesia, Korea, and Latin America
&#6357106;e experiencing a fantastic revival. We e&#7471311;estly solicit the support of all of
our members with your prayers and finance to provide an effective
evangelism thrust in all the areas of the world&#3801183;not only to present Christ to
them, but they need the last days' message of the Church of God.

To the 69th Annual Assembly of the Church of God, Greetings:
We are grateful to God for His wonderful providence in the government
and its operation in the Church of God, for our faithful General Overseer and
for his outstanding address before this Assembly. After careful and
prayerful deliberation, we submit the &#6684783;llowing report:
SECTION I
In reference to Section 9, Paragraph 1, of the Ways and Means Committee
Report to the 68th Annual Assembly, the portion which reads as follows:
"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 committ&#6619237;; one part is left in the local church to be used at
the discretion of the pastor and local ch&#7667826;ch committ&#6619237; appointed by the
pastor." We recommend that it be changed to read as follows: "Surplus
tithes accruing in any local ch&#7667826;ch is to be left in the tithe fund account of
the local church treasury until after the last Sunday in June, at which time it
is properly divided: 25% to be sent to the General Treasurer to be used at
the discretion of the Executive Committ&#6619237;; 25 % to be sent to the State or
National Treasurer to be used at the discretion of the State or National
Finance and Appropriation Committee; the 50% that is left in the loc&#6357100;
church to be used at the discretion of the pastor and local church committee,
appointed by the pastor."
The Assembly recommends that the &#6684783;llowing words be added to this
paragraph. "That first consideration be &#6750313;ven to the pastor's expense in the
ministry; said expenses being already defined in the Church Business
Guide."
Does the pastor alone have the authority to disburse the local church's
portion of the surplus &#7602281;thes? ANSWER: No. "This part is left in the local
.church to be used at the discretion of the pastor and local church committee
appointed by the pastor."
SECTION II
Since the allotments of Overseers in other countries come under the
jurisdiction of the Wo&#7471212;d Mission Committee and these &#6357106;e usually set
according to the economic conditions of each country, we recommend that
limits for pastors also be set by the World Mission Committee and the

MINUTES OF THE 69TH ANNUAL ASSEMBLY 153
National Overseer be responsible to relay this information to each clerk and
treasurer.
SECTION III
This committee wishes to co&#7143533;end each one who has been faithful in
working in and raising funds through the auxiliaries, as it is by these efforts
that the message of the Church has spread throughout the world.
We urge each local church to operate each a&#7667832;iliary as recommended by
the General Assembly, keeping the spiritual benefits and financial needs
before our members.
We want to urge each leader to continue to make kno&#7798894; the purpose of
each a&#14549220;iary and to make known the blessings and helps the auxiliaries are
to each local church and the Church world-wide in carrying out the
commission of the Church.
SECTION IV
In re&#6684773;rence to para&#6750322;aph 3, of section 2, in the Ways and Means
Committee Report to the 68th Assembly conce&#7471214;ing "Outreach Sunday",
we recommend that it be carried forward as follows. "We recommend that
on Outreach Sunday (White Wing Messenger Day), when a special offering
is boosted, that the p&#6619247;ple be encouraged to give even more generously in
support of the White Wing Publishing House and its ministry."
SECTIONV
Due to the unsettled cost of material and postage being experienced by
the Publishing House in printing &#6357102;d mailing the White Wing Messenger to
its subscribers, we recommend that the multi-year subscription rate be left
to the discretion of the Church Publishing Committee.
SECTION VI
In ref&#6619250;ence to Section 9, of the Ways and Means Committee Report to
the 51st Annual General Assembly which reads as follows: "We recommend
that each and every state overseer see to it that all state convention
o&#6684774;erings raised in his state be executed exactly as set forth by the ru&#7077993;ngs of
the Assembly, and be treated only as authorized by the Assembly." We
recommend that it be changed to read as follows: "That each pastor, state
and national overseer see to it that all monies received in his or her church,
state or nation be handled exactly as stated in the present financial system
of the Church of which they should be fully familiar with and also be
responsible to s&#6619237; that all monies are used only for the purpose &#6684783;r which it
was given or raised."

154 MINUTES OF THE 69TH ANNUAL ASSEMBLY
SECTION VII
With reference to all other sections of the Ways and Means Committee
Report printed in the Minutes of the 68th General Assembly, we
recommend that these be carried over this year and be included in this
report.
We feel more prayer and consideration should be given to all other
matters brought to the attention of this committee and we beg and ask you
&#6684783;r your patience, while we search God's &#7798889;ll for an answer.
SECTION VIII
"The Assembly recommends that the State Overseer and the state
finance and appropriation 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 appropriation committees are using state funds to help
weak churches, needy pastors, and new &#6684777;elds."
And furthe&#7471213;ore 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.
This Committ&#6619237; is in profound conce&#7471214; and sympathy with the operation
of our local churches and the heavy &#6684777;nancial responsibilities which they
face. With reference to this knowledge, we refer to the financial system as
recorded in the Assembly Minutes which says, "The tithes are for the
support of the ministry only."
This Committ&#6619237; wishes to draw your attention to the &#6684769;ct that it does not
say of ministers only; rather, of the ministry only. Ministry is defined as the
office, duties, or functions of a minister; the building in which the business
of a ministry is transacted; thus, the ministry includes any and all phases of
the Church ministry, such as church property, equipment, maintenance, etc.
SECTION IX
Some have experienced dif&#6684777;culties when filing their income tax form
pertaining to the subject of contributions. The difficulty has b&#6619237;n
experienced when checks have been made payable to individuals rather than
to the Church of God of Prophecy. Therefore, we recommend in the future
that all checks, such as tithing, contributions, etc., be made payable to the

MINUTES OF THE 69TH ANNUAL ASSEMBLY 155
Church of God of Prophecy.
Also, that the General Church account carry the logo, "Church of God of
Proph&#6619235;y, General Treasurer's Account," after the present supply of checks
is exhausted.
SECTIONX
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 XI
Since the mission of the Church is world-wide, we recommend that the
words "General Field Office, National, Island or Territorial Overseer or
Treasurer" be included where n&#6619235;essary or app&#7077993;cable and also, where the
dollar is not the moneta&#7471225; system, that it be left to the discretion of the
World Mission Committee to set that amount according to the economic and
monetary system of that particular co&#7667822;try.
SECTION XII
l. The Assembly recommends that the Tabe&#7471214;acle 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 Tabernacle Dollars
(Tabe&#7471214;acle 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 enco&#7667826;age any or all individuals to
make voluntary personal contributions to the Church of God of Proph&#6619235;y
Tabe&#7471214;acle Fund. Any &#6357101;ount contributed by individuals should be sent
direct to M. A. Tomlinson, Bible Place, Cleveland, Tennessee 37311, or the
General Field Office.
2. The Assembly r&#6619235;ommends that, if there should be any deficit
occurring in the Tabe&#7471214;acle Fund in making the monthly payments, such
deficit be paid &#6684786;om the General Fund.

156 MINUTES OF THE 69TH ANNUAL ASSEMBLY
SECTION XIII
1. The Assembly recommends that the Executive Co&#7143533;ittee be
authorized to adjust the allotments for pastors, State Overseers, and
General Workers &#6684786;om year to year, based on the previous year's cost of
living index.
2. The Assembly recommends 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 Committ&#6619237;.
3. The Assembly recommends that 10 per cent of the tithes received each
month by the local church treas&#7667826;er 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 &#6684783;urth 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 Nation&#6357100; Overseer paid by the state or national treasurer.
4. Since the Assembly has left the d&#6619235;ision to the Executive Committee
to determine the incidental expense incurred by the general workers, and
inasmuch as there is a set amount by the gove&#7471214;ment for an executive
worker to receive, we recommend that this matter be left to the Executive
Committee to act as &#6488169;rcumstances may necessitate.
5. The Assembly recommends that the sum of $200 received &#6619233;ch 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 &#6684789;ll-time evangelists. (Note: This recommendation is for income
tax purposes only, and involves no extra allotment.)
6. 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,
and from these funds received, the State or National Overseer would receive
his allotment and expenses (if funds are available) according to the rulings
of the General Assembly.
7. Whereas, by an act of the Assembly, the Radio Department has been
changed and now is referred to as the Communications Dep&#6357106;tment, we
recommend that, when it is feasible to produce television programs, the
matter of finance be left to the discretion of the Executive Committee.
8. The Assembly recommends 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

MINUTES OF THE 69TH ANNUAL ASSEMBLY 157
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 b&#6619235;oming 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 ex&#6619235;uted by voluntary response. Also, that emphasis be
given by the pastor to the Overseer's fourth Sunday offering 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.
9. The Assembly recommends that $100 be contributed from the general
&#6684789;nds 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 field, the General Overseer and the
General Treasurer may use their discretion in assisting in such cases.
10. The Ass&#6619245;bly recommends that the Emergency Fund be continued
and that each member pay $1 or the &#6357101;ount set by the World Mission
Committee where applicable into the Fund annually and that the present
system of coll&#6619235;ting 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.
11. The Assembly recommends 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 offe&#7471209;ng each night of the revival and that the
total amount of the offering received go to the evangelist.
If a church is too small to sufficiently support an evangellst, we
recommend that special fund raising projects be instituted prior to a
scheduled revival, to supplement the nightly offerings.
12. The Assembly recommends that sufficient amount of the general
funds be used to pay for the first reprinting of tracts &#6684786;om the translations
which were salvaged from the White Wing Publishing House fire of
Februa&#7471225;, 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 &#6684777;rst.
We therefore recommend that the amount to be used for this work be left
to the discretion of the Executive Committee.

158 MINUTES OF THE 69TH ANNUAL ASSEMBLY
13. The Assembly r&#6619235;ommends that the allotments of the Overs&#6619237;rs
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 amo&#7667822;ts in the minutes as supplement to
the Ways and Means Committee Report. We also r&#6619235;ommend 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 conce&#7471214;ing the financial system of the Church as those in the
United States since we are only one Church.
Since the Church is world-wide, there should be no difference shown
between an Overseer outside the United States who is a member of the
Presbytery and one in the United States; therefore, this Committee
recommends that where our inte&#7471214;ational 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 sp&#6619235;ial 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.
14. The Assembly recommends 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.
15. The Assembly recommends that 10 per cent of the tithes r&#6619235;eived 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.
16. The Assembly recommends 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.
17. The Assembly r&#6619235;ommends that 20 per cent of the state or national
convention offerings of the Womens Missionary Band, Victory Leaders

MINUTES OF THE 69TH ANNUAL ASSEMBLY 159
Band, Sunday School, and Church of Prophecy Marker Association be left
in the state or national treasury for the purpose of state or national work.
18. The Assembly recommends that in case of any additional general
workers being appointed by the General Overseer, their allotments be
determined by the Ex&#6619235;utive Committee.
19. The Assembly recommends that if there should be a deficit incurred
in printing and mailing the White Wing Messenger, such deficit be paid
from the General Fund.
20. The Assembly recommends that the World Headquarters
Construction Committee be given opportunity to study, introduce and
promote &#6684773;asible 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.
21. SUNDAY SCHOOL TITHES: It has been called to our attention
that several churches mothe approval of their Sunday Schools, in
receiving the Sunday School offering, receive only one offering; with
portions of the offerings to be used for different projects.
For example: A portion for the operation of the Sunday School; a portion
for the flower fund; a portion for the building fund: etc.
The Assembly recommends only the money that is used for the operation
of the Sunday School is the portion that is to be tithed. This Committee c&#6357100;ls
to your attention that Orphanage money should not be tithed by the local
church.
22. The Assembly has recommended that 10 per cent of state and
national convention offerings and Assembly o&#6684774;erings of the Tomlinson
Home for Children Fund be sent to General Headquarters for the Tabernacle
Fund, and the s&#6357101;e amount to Tomlinson College.
23. The General Treasurer send 10 per cent of the Assembly Mission and
Tomlinson Home for Children offerings &#6684786;om 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
Free Literature 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

160 MINUTES OF THE 69TH ANNUAL ASSEMBLY
offering from each state or country to the respective state or national
treasurer for the general state or national fund.
24. The Assembly recommends that a love o&#6684774;ering be received for the
district overseer in his district convention. If the district overseer is
requested by the State Overseer to perform a duty involving considerable
expense, the State Overseer will be responsible for such expense.

Watchmen Committee Report
To the 69th Annual Assembly of the Ch&#7667826;ch of God, Gr&#6619237;tings:
We &#7798889;sh to submit the following report. In our working throughout the
Assembly and among the many thousands in attendance, we have found a
sweet spirit prevailing, as well as a spirit of expectancy concerning the
retu&#7471214; of our Lord. The thoughts expressed among our people seem to be
unanimous and that is, what is to be done must be done quickly in making
ready for the return of our Lord.
We have had many problems of a minor nature, and some that could be
considered major, but the Lord has helped us, and each have been handled in
a satisfactory manner. We therefore wish to thank our wonderful people &#6684783;r
both their cooperation and understan&#6553705;ng in the efforts put forth by this
Committee to keep good order.

164 MINUTES OF THE 69TH ANNUAL ASSEMBLY
The Assembly recommends that the Executive Committee be authorized
to adjust the allotments for pastors, State Overseers, and General Workers
&#6684786;om year to year, based on the previous year's cost of living index.
The Assembly recommends 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 treasurer of the local church sends 10 per cent of tithes received each
month to the Treasurer of his state, country or territory. The balance of the
tithes, after General Headquarters and the State or National Overseer have
received their portion, remains in the local church treasury to pay the
pastor.
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
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.)
Surplus tithes accruing in any local church is to be left in the tithe fund
account of the local church treasury until after the last Sunday in June, at
which time it is properly divided; 25 % to be sent to the General Treasurer to
be used at the discretion of the Executive Committee; 25 % to be sent to the
State or National Treasurer to be used at the discretion of the State or
National Finance and Appropriation Committee; the 50 % that is left in the
local church to be used at the discretion of the pastor and local church
committee appointed by the pastor.
The Assembly recommends that the following words be added to this
paragraph. "That first consideration be given to the pastor's expense in the
ministry; said expenses being already defined in the Church Business
Guide."
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.
The Executive Committee agrees that all general workers appointed by
the General Overseer receive an allotment of $845 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.

MINUTES OF THE 69TH ANNUAL ASSEMBLY 165
Overseers in the United States are to receive no more than $845 a month,
plus an amount not to exceed $200 a month for office expenses from the
tithes received from the churches, if funds are available. Any funds in
excess of this amount received by the treasurer are to be kept in the state
treasury to be placed in the general state fund for the state work, especially
to assist pastors of weaker churches.
The Executive Committee agrees that the pastor receive an amount not to
exceed $845 a month from the tithes of the local church after General
Headquarters and the State Overseer have received their portions, if funds
are available. This does not include offerings and poundings received by the
pastor.
Overseers outside the United States receive an allotment in the currency
of the &#6488175;untry or territory they represent in keeping with the economic
conditions of that country. These allotments are set annually by the World
Mission Committee and World Mission Secretary.
The Assembly has ruled that tithes are for the support of the ministry
only. Surplus tithes received at General Headquarters are disbursed at the
discretion of the Executive Committee to aid Overseers in states not self
supporting. The Ministerial Aid Fund receives 10 per cent of all tithes sent
to headquarters. We recommend that the tithes of non-members that are
paid into the local church treasu&#7471225; should be paid out through the regular
channel the same as the tithes of members.
The Committee wishes to draw your attention to the fact that it does not
say of ministers only; rather, of the ministry only. Ministry is defined as the
of&#6684777;ce, duties, or functions of a minister; the building in which the business
of a ministry is transacted; thus, the ministry includes any and all phases of
the Church ministry, such as church property, equipment, maintenance, etc.
2. SUNDAY SCHOOL. The local church treasurer sends 10 per cent of all
Sunday School offerings to the General Treasurer with his monthly report
and 10 per cent to the state treasurer for the general state &#6684789;nd.
3. TOMLINSON HOME FOR CHILDREN. All Tomlinson Home for
Children offerings remain in the local church treasury and are turned in at
the state convention and Assembly. For improving, building, and
maintaining the state headquarters, 20 per cent of the state convention
orphanage offering remains in the state treasury. The General Treasurer is
sent 10 per cent of the balance and the state treasurer keeps 10 per cent, or
an equal amount. Send balance to the General Treasurer for the support of
the Tomlinson Home for Children. The General Treasurer sends 10 per cent
of the Assembly offering &#6684786;om each state or country to the respective state
or national treasurer for the general state or national fund. The Assembly
has recommended that IO per cent of state and national convention offerings

166 MINUTES OF THE 69TH ANNUAL ASSEMBLY
and Assembly offerings of the Tomlinson Home for Children Fund be sent
to General Headquarters for the Tabernacle Fund, and the same amount for
Tomlinson College.
4. EMERGENCY FUND. All ministers and members are to pay one
dollar a year, or the amount set by the World Mission Committee where
applicable, into the treasury of the local churches where their memberships
are, and the treasurer sends the emergency dollars as collected with his
monthly report. The Ministerial Aid Fund receives 10 per cent of all
emergency money sent to headquarters.
5. TABERNACLE FUND. The Assembly recommends that the
Tabernacle Dollars (Tabernacle Fund) be continued; that each local church
raise or collect one do&#7077996;ar per member, (where the dollar is not the monet&#6357106;y
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.
The Assembly recommends 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 Missions.
The Assembly recommends that, if there should be any deficit ocurring in
the Tabernacle Fund in making the monthly payments such deficit be paid
from the General Fund.
6. MISSION MONEY. The second Sunday missionary offerings and
mission money raised by other means remain in the local church treasury
and are turned in at the state convention and Assembly. For improving,
building, and maintaining the state headquarters, 20 per cent of the state
convention missionary offering is to remain in the state treasury. The
General Treasurer receives 10 per cent of the balance and the state treasurer
keeps 10 per cent, or an equal &#6357101;ount. Half of the remainder ( 40 per cent of
the balance after the state deducts the state headquarters maintenance
portion) is left in the state for the general state fund, and half sent to the

MINUTES OF THE 69TH ANNUAL ASSEMBLY 167
General Treasurer as world mission money. The General Treasurer is sent 5
per cent of the 40 per cent portion remaining in the state treasury for the
state convention mission funds to assist in the support of widows of
deceased ministers.
The General Treasurer receives all mission money collected in the March
and October drives for world missions. It is to be sent in with the local
treasurer's monthly report. All mission offerings at the Assembly are turned
in to the General Treasurer as world mission money. The General Treasurer
sends 10 per cent of the Assembly offering from each state or country to the
respective state or national treasurer for the general state or national fund.
The Ministerial Aid Fund receives 10 per cent of the mission money sent to
the General Treasurer. The Assembly recommends that 10 per cent of the
national and international accounts of the W odd Mission Fund be sent to
General Headquarters for the Tabernacle Fund.
7. FIRST SUNDAY OFFERING. Each local church receives an offering
&#6684783;r the pastor on the first Sunday of each month.
8. DISTRICT OVERSEERS SUPPORT. The Assembly recommends
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
perform a duty involving considerable expense, the State Overseer will be
responsible for such expense.
9. FOURTH SUNDAY OFFERING. The fourth Sunday is set by the
Assembly for every local church to receive an offering for the Overseer of the
state, country, or territory. The pastor, or other selected person, is to give
the local treasurer the money collected on this day. The local church
treasurer sends 10 per cent of this offering to the state treasurer for the state
treasury; the balance of this offering is sent to the state treasurer for the
expense of the Overseer. If there is not suf&#6684777;cient fourth Sunday offerings to
cover his expense as Overseer, the surplus tithes, if there is any in the state
treasury may be used to supplement the fourth Sunday offerings. DO NOT
send any of the fourth Sunday offerings to the General Treasurer. Each local
Church is instructed to receive a pounding for the Overseer once or twice a
year.
10. VICTORY LEADERS OFFERING. All money raised for the Free
Literature Fund by the Victory Leaders is given in at the state convention
and Assembly. Money for the expense of the band should be received in a

send to the General Treasurer.
a. The Assembly r&#6619235;ommends that churches having less than 50 in

the General Treasurer as collected. The final report of the Assembly expense

MINUTES OF THE 69TH ANNUAL ASSEMBLY 169

the pastors be responsible for conducting weekly classes in the local
churches to acquaint our people with the doctrine and practices of the
Church. Offerings received in the classes are turned in at the state
convention to assist Bible Training Institute in teaching the Church
doctrine in other countries. It is &#7471205;commended that 10 per cent of state and

Deeds for Church Property
The following resolution was adopted by the 58th Annual Assembly of the
Church of God of Prophecy, held in Cleveland, Tennessee, September 10-16,
1963 :
WHEREAS it has been advised by competent attorneys that specific
mention of proper authorities be stated in an effort to ease the complications
arising in our endeavors to be recognized by the courts, and to facilitate the
handling of deeds to our church properties,
BE IT RESOLVED that trustees to hold title to local church property for
the Church of God of Prophecy with international headquarters at Cleveland,
Tennessee, be selected by the local church either in a regular or called
business meeting, said trustees to be vested with authority to bargain, buy,
sell, convey or encumber such property by mortgage or otherwise only when
authorized to do so by the local church in regular or called business meeting,
and with the consent of the General Trustees.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that said consent of the General Trustees
be evidenced by a separate writing or by the signature of the Chief Clerk of
the said General Trustees, such documents to be notarized.
BE IT RESOLVED that state church trustees appointed by the State
Overseer to hold title to property for the Church of God of Prophecy with
international headquarters at Cleveland, Tennessee, be vested with authority
to bargain, buy, sell, convey, or encumber such property by mortgage with
the consent of the General Trustees. This applies to property being held by
state trustees where churches have been disbanded or are too weak to
function and to property which has been given to the state. All other property
with title being held by state trustees may be disposed of or mortgaged only
by the consent of the state convention in session.

World Must Be Evangelized
It will take good organization and systematic methods to accomplish this
task.
God· s power is demonstrated in proportion to the unity and oneness of His
people.
The members of the early Church were all of one accord, steadfast in the
apostles· doctrine and fellowship, and the multitude that believed were of one
heart and one soul, and great grace was upon them all and mighty results
followed as a consequence of their perfect unity and 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 responsibility, remembering that when one member fails,
it cripples or dwarfs the body until the matter pending may fail.
Local Church Officers and Leaders
1. Pastor. It is the duty of the overseer appointed by the General Overseer
to see that every church under his jurisdiction is supplied with a pastor as
much as lies in his power. Pastors are to be appointed at the state convention
and vacancies will be 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

MINUTES OF THE 69TH ANNUAL ASSEMBLY 173
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 qualified for the
position, as the clerk is responsible to keep accurate and careful records of the
business and work of the church, make a record and give date of organization,
record the name and date of everyone that joins, the name and date of each
one excluded and for what cause, and keep a record of deaths, giving date.
3. Treasurer. The treasurer is appointed in the same manner as the clerk.
It is advised that one person serve as both clerk and treasurer, when
convenient and satisfactory to the local church. The treasurer will receive and
disburse all funds of the local church including tithes, auxiliary funds and
special funds. An accurate record of all receip�s and disbursements will be
kept by the treasurer.
4. Auxiliary Leaders. Leaders for the five auxiliaries-Sunday School,
Womens Missionary Band, Victory Leaders Band, Church of Prophecy
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 &#6815849;s 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 any should move away, communication should be kept up by
correspondence. This is for the mutual, spiritual, temporal, and social bene&#6684777;t
of the members. The pastor should keep in close touch &#7798889;th the band leaders
in all the work.
5. Local Trustees. Trustees to hold title to local church property are
selected by the local church in a regular or called business meeting and are
authorized to bargain, buy, sell, convey or encumber the 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 Officers 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 observe the first Monday night in January, April,
July, and October for the regular quarterly meetings. If there is a demand for
it, a meeting may be called at any time by the pastor or state overseer. A
short business meeting may be held at the beginning or close of a meeting for
worship.
The pastor should act as moderator of all business m&#6619237;tings. If there is no

174 MINUTES OF THE 69TH ANNUAL ASSEMBLY
pastor, the state overseer has authority to act or appoint a licensed male
minister to preside. Where one pastor has the care of several churches, he may
arrange the business meetings to suit his convenience.
Every member, 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 all can agree. If one should seem obstinate and
contrary, do not run the matter over him, but take up his case and investigate
the cause of his obstinacy; if he shows the good spirit so that he can be heard,
then show him courtesy. If he proves to be wrong, deal with him as the Bible
directs. Then, take up the original subject and dispose of it in harmony and
love.
If a matter cannot be 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.
Arrangement and Order of Business
(This is only a suggestion and not meant for a rule.)
Moderator, clerk. treasurer should occupy seats on the platform. Deacons

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 &#6357102;d 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.

176 MINUTES OF THE 69TH ANNUAL ASSEMBLY
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 ornament or decoration. Finger rings, bracelets, earrings, necklaces,
lockets and large showy pins-these are also unbecoming to a saint of God.
Rouge, &#7077993;pstick, nail polish and extremely costly perfumes are used to satisfy
the pride of life and therefore they should have no place in the lives of those
who love God. Please read and study these Scriptures often: I Peter 3: 3, 4; I
Timothy 2:9, 10 and I John 2:15-17.
You should not permit yourself to be trapped by worldly attractions. The
Bible says, "Neither give place to the devil." Dabbling with worldly
amusements like professional ball games, horse races, stock car races,
wrestling arenas, skating rinks, motion picture houses or drive-in theaters.
bowling alleys and going swimming where men and women both use the same
bathing area would give the devil a foothold or place in your life.
Always tithe your income and put it in the church treasury. Make freewill
offerings other than your tithes.
Younger members should not keep company or associate too intimately
with worldly outsiders.
Because of the ever-increasing number of broken homes, separations,
divorces and remarriages, the greatest care should be taken with much prayer
and consideration regarding proposed matrimony.
A member who may have a living companion should not marry another
under any circumstances even if divorced. Neither should 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
should be done by setting a good example before them and by instructing
them with such a good spirit that they will have a strong desire to serve the
Lord. MINISTERS are to meet &#6357100;l 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.

MINUTES OF THE 69TH ANNUAL ASSEMBLY 177
The White Wing Messenger is a very important part of the Church of God.
It should be read regularly by every member and your interest in advertising
the Church should be so great that when you have finished reading your copy,
you would pass it along to someone else. Eve&#7471225; member who possibly can
should subscribe, and each minister is asked to be a "paid-up" subscriber and
an earnest worker for our church paper-the White Wing Messenger.
These are the last days and perilous times have come and it will require
much watchfulness and humble prayer for you to so live and act that you will
never bring reproach on the worthy name of Christ and His Church that you
so much love.
Never form too close an intimacy with the opposite sex even if they are
brothers and sisters in the Lord. Give no place to the adversary. 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
&#6750313;ven.
Duties of Overseers
Appointed by the General Overseer
Each overseer is to have the oversight of his state, country or territory, and
together with the General Overseer, will form the presbytery in his respective
area. In addition to his general responsibility for the work under his
jurisdiction he will be responsible for specific duties:
To conduct or order a general evangelistic campaign during the year. If
there are only a few churches in the state or area assigned to him, he will serve
primarily as an evangelist, evangelizing in new fields and endeavoring to
establish new churches. If his area has a large number of churches and
ministers, he will be responsible to organize and direct the evangelistic efforts
of his workers in new fields.
To see that every church is supplied with a pastor, as much as lies within
his power.
To divide his state or territory into districts 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 benefit
of all. Special instructions concerning 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.
To secure the name and address of every bishop, deacon, and evangelist

178 MINUTES OF THE 69TH ANNUAL ASSEMBLY
under his jurisdiction and keep a record of these so he can report to the
General Overseer, if necessary. He will also issue lay minister's certificates
and keep the necessary records concerning 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
every way, as a pastor over a large circuit.
Duties of District Overseers
The district overseers are to be appointed by the state overseer.
To moderate business conferences for women preachers who may be acting
as pastors, and for men who may not be licensed if they are taking care of
churches in his district.
To do evangelistic work in his district if he has time. If he has a district
with no churches, it is his duty to evangelize and organize churches.
To hold district conventions according to the instructions of the state
overseer.
To assist the state overseer when called upon in all things relating to
church work and the district overseer is subject to the state overseer.
Obligation for Membership in the
Church of God of Prophecy
Will you sincerely promise in the presence of God and these witnesses that
you will accept this Bible as the Word of God-believe and practice its
teachings rightly divided-the New Testament as your rule of faith and
practice, government and discipline, and walk in the light to the best of your
knowledge and ability?
The minister who administers this obligation should see that every
applicant replies in the affirmative. In taking the obligation, app&#7077993;cants
should think of it as being a perpetual covenant that shall not be forgotten.
