Prefatory Notes
By the bounti&#6684789;l providence of God, the 71st Annual Assembly goes on
record as "a feast of fat things," both in blessings and edification of the
Church. We give God the praise &#6684783;r His favor in every session, in every
auxiliary program, and in the business that was transacted. The unction and
in&#6684780;uence of the Holy Ghost was evident &#6684786;om the beginning to the end.
Another record was set in the registration. The total on the registrar's book
was 25,350-an increase of 2,936 over the 1975 registration. There were dele
gates from the following countries around the world: The United States,
Bahamas, Bermuda, Brazil, Canada, Chile, Costa Rica, Dominican Republic,
Egypt, El Salvador, England, Germany and Holland, Guatemala, Israel,
Haiti, Honduras, Jamaica, Korea, Leeward and Windward Islands, Mexico,
Netherlands Antilles, Nicaragua, Nigeria, Philippines, Puerto Rico, Sierra
Leone, South Africa, Trinidad, Turks Islands, Turkey, Venezuela, and Virgin
Islands.
Pre-Assembly activities included: The Seventh Annual Tomlinson College
Scholarship Fund Banquet; the Annual Presbytery Meeting and Dinner,
hosted by the General Overseer and his wife; and the Fields of the Wood
program.
An outstanding high light this year was the official Groundbreaking Cere
mony, on Friday afternoon, August 27, &#6684783;r the new World Headquarters
Building. This was preceded on Tuesday night by the paying off of the
Church's indebtedness of the World-wide Assembly Tabernacle and the
mortgage-burning. There was great praise and thanksgiving to God for
enabling us to make this accomplishment in just four years, thereby opening
the way for construction to be started on another much-needed edifice.
The Church is grateful for all the kind words and other expressions of
warm welcome by the o&#6684774;icials of the City of Cleveland and Bradley County,
and for the excellent coverage of the Assembly by the various news media.
All of those individuals and departments who rendered such dedicated
service in making this a great Assembly are due commendation. We give God
the glory for all that was accomplished.
The 72nd Annual General Assembly will be held, the Lord willing, August
16-22, 1977.

7:35 G. A. Wilson, Tabe&#7471214;acle Manager, spoke brie&#6684780;y welcoming delegates
&#6684786;om around the world. Hebrews 18-24.
7:58 Our War&#6684769;re-message by Aaron R. Waggett, OH. 1 Timothy 12.
8:25 Song by Betty Lawrence. To Have the Holy Ghost Means You Are
Filled-evangelistic message and altar call by Benjamin Lawrence, General
Home Mission Worker. Excerpts: 1 Corinthians 6:19; Acts 2:4. Every one of
the one hundred and twenty was &#6684777;lled with the Holy Ghost. The Holy Ghost
is not a mixer; He is a filler. The Holy Ghost does not mix with hatred nor
envy, but will operate love, joy, peace and longsu&#6684774;ering.
. -• -
The writer spoke about the Holy Ghost falling in Jerusalem, and they were
witnesses unto the Lord. Then it spread out &#6684786;om Jerusalem to Samaria and
Gallilee-others being &#6684777;lled and becoming witnesses. Then, " ... to the utter
most part of the earth." Some people are worried about power to raise the
dead; some are worried about power to cast out devils and lay hands on the
sick, but we need power to live right; power to treat our neighbor right and to
be obedient. When we get this kind of power, God will give us power to cast out
devils and raise the dead. This proves a man can get rid of an unclean spirit.
When the unclean spirit cannot &#6684777;nd rest, he will return to the house that he
came &#6684786;om. When he returns, he &#6684777;nds there has been a change. Some people
try to receive the Holy Ghost and not have the dust out of the cracks. When
dust is stirred, it will find a cobweb in the co&#7471214;er. A house cleaner who looks
down does not see cobwebs. You have to look up. Some people are trying to get
the Holy Ghost with cobwebs or little ''no harm" things, so they say, in their

10 MINUTES OF THE 71ST ANNUAL ASSEMBLY
lives. God will have to &#6684777;ll you with the Holy Ghost. Be&#6684783;re one can be &#6684777;lled, he
must &#6684777;rst be emptied. We must be sancti&#6684777;ed. The house or temple has to be
swept and garnished. Jesus gets the temple ready &#6684783;r the Holy Ghost. We ex
pect our home to be clean when company comes &#6684783;r a weekend. How much
more should our temples be clean for the Holy Ghost, because He is not just
coming &#6684783;r an overnight stay. He is coming to abide &#6684783;rever. We need to get
ready for Him. Matthew9:16, 17. When you are &#6684777;lled with the Holy Ghost and
you are walking in the light to the best of your knowledge and ability, He will
abide &#6684783;rever. When every one of the one hundred and twenty got their tem
ples in order, Jesus took them as far as Bethany, lifted His hand and blessed
them, and they returned to Jerusalem with great joy and they were waiting &#6684783;r
the Holy Ghost. There are three who bear witness in heaven-the Father, Son
and Holy Ghost. There had to be perfect unity there. The day of Pentecost was
fully come, the Holy Ghost was ready, there was an agreement with God and
the Son. The Holy Ghost passed by the Son; the Son recognized the Holy
Ghost. The Holy Ghost will not fall on one and skip over somebody else that is
ready and &#6684769;ll on somebody else. The Holy Ghost passed by the drunkard's
house; the whormonger's house. He came to the Upper Room, and the Bible
said they were sitting, but they were sitting in the Spirit. The Holy Ghost
came down like a mighty wind and filled all the house. When He &#6684777;lled the
house, they began to speak; and somebody rose up and said, "Men and
brethren, these men are not drunk as ye suppose, but this is that that was
spoken of by the prophet Joel." God is ready to fill you with the Holy Ghost.

1:15 Organ music by Betty Hayes. Song arrangement by Michael Hopkins.
Psalm 133 read by Bill White; prayer at pulpit by R. L. Puckett, followed by
concert prayer.
1:44 Opening of the Assembly by the General Overseer. "This is a continua
tion of the general assemblies held in Jerusalem in the early days. The Lord
has made it possible &#6684783;r you and me to live in this generation. There are more
people in the world than ever, and we have the great responsibility of getting
the last days' message and let the world know where His Church is. Many of
you have received blessings this year, but we count the blessings at the
General Assembly greater because a greater number of our people are
together. Numbers make strength. Prophecies are being ful&#6684777;lled. It is going to
be shortened, the Scripture says, to save some people; because the enemy is
going to come in like a flood. We want the Church to be ready to go when the
time comes. 1 John 5:1-21." The General Overseer prayed. Then remarked,
"We are getting ready for any business that might come be&#6684783;re us. We are
ready &#6684783;r action, and we declare this General Assembly open &#6684783;r business."

2:27 Spiritual Things-message by E. H. Grif&#6684777;th, Field Secretary. Ex
cerpts: We do not want to lean too &#6684769;r to the right nor to the left. I feel
desperately in need of spiritual things. Surely God has power to deliver us
&#6684786;om the unnecessary temporal things that we may not seek those things to ex
treme, but we may turn away from those things which are contrary to the
spirit. Unless we are spiritual minded we will never accomplish the work for
God. I want to preach the right thing; say the right thing. I want to have the
right spirit and attitude.
We need ministers filled with the spirit whose minds, souls, and hearts are
for God and His Church. Some say the Body of Christ consists of all Chris
tians. The Church of God is exclusive. When we become spiritually minded,
we believe all the Bible; believe and stand for the Church. When we believe
the Word of God and walk accordingly, there .is no condemnation. 1
Corinthians 2:11-14. Knowledge is wonder&#6684789;l, but it is no good without the
Spirit. You cannot see the covenant with a natural nor ca&#7471214;al mind. Ifl cannot
be Church of God, I cannot be anything. If we accept license in the Church of
God, we should preach Church of God. When a minister preaches the Church
of God, preaches on the auxiliaries and you say you do not see it that way, you
are not spiritual minded. When you change the de&#6684777;nition of the auxiliaries,
you are wrong, because they were inspired and given by the Holy Ghost. Let us

12 MINUTES OF THE 71ST ANNUAL ASSEMBLY
leave things in the Church of God in the proper context. When ministers
criticize the General Overseer on down, you are not spiritual. God does not
work against Himself. There is no con&#6684780;ict with the Holy Ghost'. The Holy
Ghost will not condemn the office of the General Overseer nor criticize the
leadership of the Church of God. If some other church believes it like you do,
that is where you should go. A lot of people think the auxiliaries are
&#6684783;olishness. You need to &#6684777;nd a place to pray. We either believe in the Church
or we do not. We cannot believe something and &#6684777;ght it.
Solomon exceeded all the kings of the earth for riches and wisdom, but his
heart was turned &#6684786;om the Lord. Because of God's anger with Solomon, He
rebuked him and the Children oflsrael. He rebuked the Children oflsrael for
going after the things of the world. We cannot per&#6684773;ct the world in nor out of
the Church. You cannot love God and the world at the same time. You can
stay in the Church of God if you want to. You can believe its teachings and
practices if you want to. You can be humble and submissive if you want to.
You can be haughty and high minded if you want to. Let's go to heaven
together. I want to die believing in the Church of God. The Holy Ghost in due
time is going to rebuke everything that is not right in the Church of God. The
Church of God is not dead. When you think the Church of God is not where it
should be, you had better examine your ministry. We need to stay on solid
ground and preach the Church of God with victory. I don't know of anybody in
the world who has more victory than the Church of God. God is no respecter of
persons. What He requires of you, He requires of me.
3:17 Ministerial Aid Program, A. T. Wagar, Director. Grand march of 96
senior ministers and their wives, led by C.R. Payne; Mike Flippo, pianist. A.
T. Wagar read Psalm 1; prayer by Jess F. Pruitt; song by Jill, Steve and Dale;
Director gave SALUTE TO THE VICTORY LEADERS:
We, the Victory Leaders of yesteryear, salute the Victory Leaders of this
generation, because of their courage, strength, dedication, and vision of the
Church, adherence to the doctrine and their dedication to the ultimate pur
pose of subjugating the world to Christ and His Church.
We salute the Victory Leaders because we believe they have accepted the
challenge of the General Overseer which he so aptly expressed in his Annual
Address in 1971, and I quote: "I challenge you to be different &#6684786;om the world
by holding to the Church's standards and advice. Also as Church of God young
people, I challenge you to be di&#6684774;erent from others in the religious world."
We salute the Victory Leaders for preparing themselves &#6684783;r greater Chris
tian service by participating in Youth Life Teams, Youth Camps, World Mis
sion Corps, Bible Training Institute, and Tomlinson College.
We salute the Victory Leaders whose faithful and unflagging zeal not only
helped .provide &#6684783;r erection of a great publishing house, but continue to
provide funds &#6684783;r printing and distribution of free literature to all nations so
they may know about God's glorious Church and the doctrine.
There has always been an age gap, and always will be, but there is not a doc
trinal gap. Age and youth can work together, and the Church of God is the

MINUTES OF THE 71ST ANNUAL ASSEMBLY 13
only place that can achieve it, because we are one body. The uniting of the
strength of youth with the wisdom of &#6684769;ithful fathers enables us to work e&#6684774;ec
tively to accomplish the great task. This same principle was observed during
our youth and it has contributed greatly to the growth of the Church during
the last several decades.
During the 1973 Assembly, Brother Frank Hughes spoke prophetically:
"This is a chosen generation of young people. I believe that God is going to use
this generation to shake this world in the last days." We salute this statement
and believe future history will prove its truth.
Young people, we salute you with our prayers, faith, and confidence,
because we know that the propagation of the Church doctrine is safe in your
hands, and that you will fulfill the Great Commission, and finish the task in
subjugating the world to Christ and His Church. This is our legacy to you.
RESPONSE BY BROTHER TERRY MAHAN:
We appreciate this salute; and with the prayers of everyone, the youth of the
Church will uphold the doctrine. The youth of the Church are not looking for a
new doctrine; they are not asking for a new government, but they are just say
ing, "Watch us and we are going to do our part on this great program of Christ
and His Church." This is the first time I have ever experienced an older person
giving a younger person a tribute. We appreciate this. I sat and watched many
here, and some bodies are crippled with pain. I thought, Oh, God, how many
miles are on some of these bodies; how many hours of prayer and fasting. I felt
so small and insignificant and I prayed, "Oh God, just help me to be faithful;
and if You tarry, one of these days I could be a witness that I have stood
through the years like some of these." Brother Wagar, we appreciate this.
(Senior members stood and prayed for the Victory Leaders as they stood. Vic
tory Leaders extended hands to the senior members and prayed &#6684783;r God to
bless them until He takes them home and gives them a crown of li&#6684773;.)
3:45 Song by Teresa Shull. A. T. Wagar gave TRIBUTE TO OUR
DECEASED MINISTERS:
It is most fitting &#6684783;r a grate&#6684789;l Church to honor the memory of the sacri&#6684777;cial
labors of their precious ministers, who gladly expended their'lives in response
to the Call of the ministry, that others may know the glorious truth. Thou
sands, yes, uncounted thousands are now among the redeemed, because these
ministers did not count their lives dear unto themselves.
God wants us to remember. The Bible has much to say about memory. The
word, "Remember" and synonyms for it will be &#6684783;und more than 300 times in
the Bible. So much is said about remembering in the Book of Deuteronomy
that it is &#6684786;equently re&#6684773;rred to as, "The Book of Remembrance".
Our Lord was eager that His disciples remember Him in a proper manner.
He knew that certain memories could serve as the motivating force &#6684783;r faith
and faithfulness. Contrary to popular opinion, it is not bad to remember the
days of old. Deuteronomy 32:7 encourages us to, "Remember the days of old,

14 MINUTES OF THE 71ST ANNUAL ASSEMBLY
consider the years of many generations: ask thy father, and he will shew thee;
thy elders, and they will tell thee."
This is not to recommend that we abandon the present to live in the past. It
is to emphasize that a memory of the past can enrich the future. It is to the
Church's advantage to retrace their steps and see again the abounding glory
and accomplishments of their precious ministers, our brothers and sisters in
the Lord, who have completed their couse on earth and into whose inheritance
we have entered.
What some of these precious ministers may have lacked in training was sub
stituted by zeal, dedication and determination. I can safely vouch that most of
them did not plan a pleasant retirement future, but trusted God for their
future. In the sunset of their lives, their diminished strength forced them to
slow down, but their physical weakness was overshadowed by a bu&#7471214;ing fire to
continue their God-called ministry.
A grateful Church will always recall the sacrifices of these great soldiers and
lest we forget, a remembrance of their names is entered into our historical
documents so all posterity may know.
Philip Wagar read names of ministers who have been promoted to heaven
this Assembly year. Congregation stood in silent tribute while C. R. Payne
lowered Church Flag to half-mast. Taps played by Randy Howard, answered

As TOMLINSON HOME FOR CHILDREN SUPERINTENDENT, I
worked in the of&#6684777;ce 184 days, supervised the working sta&#6684774; and took care of
correspondence and other business in connection with this office. I visited all
of our homes both in this nation and abroad, and held meetings with the
houseparents.
As SERVICEMEN'S REPRESENTATIVE, I attended the graduation ex
ercises of Raymond Brown and Guy Lindsey &#6684786;om the Chaplaincy Basic
Course. I have visited and spoken in the Servicemen's Retreats in Germany,
Hawaii and Alaska; had a luncheon with our Servicemen attending BTI in
Cleveland and dined with a group of Servicemen attending the North Carolina
Convention; visited and was in worship service with Servicemen in Germany,
Cleveland, North Carolina, Korea, Hawaii and Alaska. Serving as Editor to
Servicemen's News, I sent them to approximately 700 Servicemen and
women and gave personal attention to their many letters. My association,
&#6684773;llowship and work with the Servicemen has been enjoyable. I trust I have
been an inspiration and have encouraged several to become more active in wit
nessing and opening new missions &#6684783;r Christ and His Church.
My work and travels in connection with both departments took me into 7

MINUTES OF THE 71ST ANNUAL ASSEMBLY 19
nations, 13 states and 26 local churches. Along with my duties, I served as a
part-time teacher at Tomlinson College. I also served on the following head
quarters committees: Tomlinson Home &#6684783;r Children Board of Directors,
Editorial Committee on Doctrine, World Mission Committee, and World
Headquarters Construction Committee. It has been another enjoyable and
educational year &#6684783;r me. Many thanks to the Lord and all the good Church
folk on the &#6684777;eld.

4:32 Demonstration by West Texas Victory Leaders. Reading giving origin
of United States Flag. "The Star Spangled Banner" and "My Country 'Tis of
Thee." U.S. Flag Pledge; "The Church of God Flag Song", "The Banner of
Love" and "The Battle Hymn of the Republic."
4:51 Why the Banner-message by Robert Hanna. Excerpts: There has
been much blood shed to protect the truth. The &#6684780;ag doesn't cost much money,
but what it stands &#6684783;r is worth everything. The Bible tells us that He has given
us a banner to display because of the truth. Psalm 60: 1. Many people have
become enemies of God because they did not uphold the truth. I am happy to
display the &#6684780;ag. I have several around my home. They come in di&#6684774;erent sizes.
As long as it is the Church &#6684780;ag, it represents the truth. We need to fear the
Lord with-afCof our souls and-hearts, and we should not become enemies of
God. If we love and fear the Lord, we will love the Church. We need to keep the
whole truth.
In the religious world, there is much heresy. We need to guard against this
entering into the Church. We know the Church as a whole can proudly display
the truth and hold the banner high because we believe in it. Many people have
been in the Church and not upheld the truth. Ifwe don't uphold the truth and
hold the banner high, if we don't love the Lord and fear Him, we for&#6684773;it our
privilege to fly the &#6684780;ag. I love the &#6684780;ag, and I am going to fly it boldly and
proudly because of the truth. The Church is not going to be defeated; but ifwe
as individuals fail to uphold the truth, we are standing on dangerous ground.
Isaiah 59:14, 19. It looks like the Word of God is going to stand forever. Truth
is going to last throughout ete&#7471214;ity. All heresy and error are going to be
destroyed and truth is going to come out on top. John 8:31, 32. Jesus said, "I
am the way and the truth .... " His Body is still in the world and it represents
the truth.
Jesus said, "Ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you &#6684786;ee." If
anything will make us &#6684786;ee, it is knowing the Church and Christ as our
Saviour. If we try to make it on our own, we are going to fail. We had better
stick with the Church because it is the pillar and ground of the truth. He tells
us He is going to lead us into His green pastures and beside the still waters
where He will restore our souls. The world does not have it to offer; we can't
get it &#6684786;om &#6684769;lse prophets. The only place we can get it is from the Church
the &#6684789;ll truth. We cannot produce just hanging around the edge and watching

20 MINUTES OF THE 71ST ANNUAL ASSEMBLY
what everyone is doing and waiting to find fault in someone's life. We need in
the midst of the pasture field where we can feast and help somebody else. You
can buy the truth, but it costs a great price. It cost Jesus His life. Some have
died for the truth, and some people count it as nothing. To be obedient to the
Lord, we must obey all the truth.
There is one body but many members. The Church and the Assembly hold
the banner high, but we as individuals can let it drag on the ground. Let's go
&#6684786;om this Assembly and hold it higher than ever because we have had a little
more truth revealed than we had. When we accepted the obligation for Church
membership, we accepted Christ as our Saviour. This did not put us into the
Church, but it put us into tl:e family of God. IT we are going to display the &#6684780;ag,
we need to live it. The truth is &#6684783;r sale, but He told us not to sell it. IT we do
anything to desecrate the &#6684780;ag or bring disgrace upon the Church, we are going
to be held accountable. He gave a banner unto them that fear Him that it may
be displayed because of the truth. I am thankful for the truth.

World Headquarters Construction Committee greeted o&#6684879;cials as they depar

9:02 Live Voice of Salvation Radio Program. The Trying of Every Man's
Work-message by Communications Minister Robert J. Pruitt. Excerpts: The
Bible is very clear that we are saved by grace through faith in the Son of God,
who shed His blood on the cross of Calvary that we might be redeemed from
the power and captivity of Satan. Ephesians 2:8-10. We do not work our way
into salvation. One cannot take part of the Scriptures and destroy the validity
of another. In light of other related Scriptures we will endeavor to emphasize
not only is man saved by grace through faith, but that his works play a vital
part in maintaining his relationship with God. Much is said in the Scriptures
about rewards, which indicates their importance. Paul did not brush aside the
matter of works. Every individual's work will have to stand the test of fire. If
fire cannot destroy it, it will survive and that individual will receive a reward;
but if the quality is of wood, hay and stubble, it will be destroyed and there
will be no reward.
In the process of regeneration, the soul that was dead in trespasses and sins
receives a new nature when it is born again. It is just as natural for that new
nature to bear the fruits of good works as it is for a &#6684777;g tree to bear figs. Yes, you
are saved by grace through faith, and not by works; because salvation is a gift
&#6684786;om God purchased by the blood of the Son of God. Let us forever praise God
&#6684783;r that unspeakable Gift, but let us not dispense with works. Another matter
must be considered in relation to works. The quality and acceptability of that
work is determined by the attitude and spirit in which it is done. 1 Corinthians
9:17.
Two men built houses, one on the rock, and the other on the sand. There
was a major fault in the one built on the sand-the storm destroyed it. Psalm
11:3; 1 Corinthians 3:10. There have been many impressive religious struc
tures manifesting the works of individuals and organizations which are going
to disappear when they are tried in the fires of God's testing furnace. There are
those who, in the name of Jesus, emphasize the appealing religious benefits
who despise godly government. God has pronounced judgment against those.
There are those who see primarily the applause and favorable responses of
men, particularly that response which promotes their programs. Such a struc
ture is destined for complete destruction. The material will not stand fire, and

22 MINUTES OF THE 71ST ANNUAL ASSEMBLY
the foundation will not stand the storm. Every man's work is going to be tried.
The tragic fact is that many are going to the time of testing, not only having
their works destroyed, but they will be rejected; because they will be found to
be workers of iniquity. Matthew 7:21. (Altar invitation; music by VOS Choir.

10:06 A Progress Report on Fields of the Wood-Bob Jackson: This has
been another great year in Fields of the Wood, and thousands of people have
visited and been blessed of the Lord. Groups have come for baptizings; some
schools brought children for &#6684777;eld day. Many have been saved, sanctified,
filled with the Holy Ghost and healed while visiting. People are seeking the
truth, and they come to see what it is all about. They are not disappointed,
because there is something to receive. Vacationers will not ordinarily read the
Bible, but they will read what is written on stones.
10:19 The Remembrance Stone-G. A. Wilson. Mark 3:13, 14. As I stood on
Mt. Hittin June 13, I though about just how much concern Jesus put into that
program. The Scriptures say He prayed all night. That has been nearly two
thousand years ago. Mt. Hittin rises out of the land like a knot on a log with

very little vegetation. When standing on the top, you can count stones down
the mountain as far as you can see. He goeth up into the mountain and looked
down on that crowd and said, Peter, John, Bartholomew, etc. In picking these
stones, He did such a good job, He said, "The gates of hell shall not prevail
against it." It has withstood many storms, but it is more real today than ever.
We had a beautiful service with thirteen in attendance. An unidentified
Jewish man was present, and he testified. He could not speak English; being
interpreted by the atto&#7471214;ey, he said, "We want to welcome you people from
America for bringing to us in Israel the spirit of love and peace and tells us the
truth about what you are doing."

10:55 Demonstration by James Stone. A portrayal of the Arise Shine of the
Church. A representative for A. J. Tomlinson came on platform; large globe
suspended &#6684786;om ceiling. This was intermingled with trio singing "Make
Room," "The Children of God Are Coming Home" and "One Fold." Lynn
West sang "The Great Speckled Bird," as a large speckled bird was brought
&#6684786;om back of auditorium to the balcony where Jesus received the Church into
His arms. Rejoicing and Brother West led in singing the song.
11:25 We Hold These Truths-message by C. S. Pennington. Excerpts: The
second paragraph of the Declaration of Independence begins with, "We hold
these truths to be self-evident that all men are created equal, that they are en
dowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights." In this bicentennial
year, I feel it good that we hold these truths in the Church of God. All through
time, people have misused the truth. They have camouflaged it, sold out to
many, been led astray and even lost their souls because they believed a lie and
were damned. We hold the truths that we are the Church of God of the Bible.
The reason we believe it is because the Bible is truth. John 17:17. (Repeated

26 MINUTES OF THE 71ST ANNUAL ASSEMBLY
the Church covenant.) I think of the promises we have made in bygone years.
We promised to walk in the light to the best of our knowledge and ability.
When the flag was given to the Church, many would not accept that truth; but
they had promised in the presence of God and the witnesses that they would
take the whole Bible rightly divided. A few years ago some could not accept
the name given to us "of Prophecy," to separate us from others. When we take
our twenty-nine important Bible truths, we take the whole Bible, rightly
divided, the New Testament as our rule of faith, gove&#7471214;ment and discipline.
Many have turned aside &#6684786;om the truths in this Book. I think of the ring situa
tion. I believe the minister who took you in instructed you if you had a ring on
it was supposed to come off. Anything we had to lay down to have this salva
tion, we had better keep it wiped out to retain that joy. I am going to abide by
the Bible and stick with the Church of God. When I started out as a Christian,
some of my close friends would look at me and say, "He has got so much
religion he can't do this. That made me want to put on a little more of God and
be a little more like Him.
If we will support the Church of God of the Bible of which we are members;
if we will get behind the program and promote it according to the Scripture,
God will work everything in due season exactly like it ought to be done.
Proverbs 14:12. I think of Ananias and Sapphira. When the agreement was
made, the whole church was going to have a sale to bring the price and lay it at
the Apostles' &#6684773;et. I can imagine some bringing all and laying it down, because
they were going to stick to what they had promised. I can see Ananias and
Sapphria getting together and deciding each will take so much and lay it
down. When they laid it at the Apostles' feet, Ananias kicked the bucket. We
promise, and a lot of times we will change it just a little. If we are not careful,
we will slip away &#6684786;om the truth. Sapphria came in and down she went. They
had a way that seemed right to them. Lots of things may sound good; but if
the Church does not stand for it, don't do it. John 16:13. Let's abide by the
dear Book; let's abide by the teachings of the Church. We have advice to
members that is good to stand by. It is a safety in the time of storm.

Vision-message by Felix Garci&#6357050;. Excerpts: Proverbs 29:18. John 15:16.
Daniel 2:20-22. Usually you can verify a fact by logical reasoning, but Bible
truth requires a hunger to know and the intervention of divine revelation
because it deals in the spiritual realm beyond human senses and comprehen
sion. Divine revelation comes &#6684786;om God.
God can make known to man what otherwise man could never know. He is
the very source of light and enlightenment. 1 John 1:5. If you are in tune with
God's Church and have received a divine revelation, there is no darkness for
you. This is the Church of God, and where God is, there is no darkness. I know
we have not reached per&#6684773;ction. We have problems to settle within ourselves,
but that does not mean we are in darkness. The Church of God is not headed
for doomsday; it is not going down the road of defeat. The Church of God is
getting ready &#6684783;r the rapture.
Abraham received his calling &#6684786;om God. In his heart, was that burning
desire to continue in spite of opposition. It will take a vision of God's Church,
the Bible Church, to keep us going, because this is God's plan for the human
race. Elisha was able to forsake everything that he had to follow the old
prophet, but he didn't do that until he received a divine revelation and a call
ing from God. Peter received divine revelation of Christ. Matthew 16:13-18.
Paul kept on going because of a vision in the &#6684769;ce of tremendous adversities. 2
Corinthians 11:22. Romans 8:35. The Church of God is not a denomination. It
is a divine institution. The disciples had been with Christ, felt His calling, and
they left what they had been doing, but that was only salvation. That was ac
cepting Jesus Christ as their personal Saviour, and they were ready to follow
Him.
A divine revelation is not a gradual thing. This divine revelation and
mutual understanding had not been achieved by the disciples until that
glorious moment in which He gathered His apostles and asked them a few
questions. "Whom do men say I am?" They were trying to tell Him that they
didn't believe John the Baptist was John the Baptist, that Jesus was John,
and John was an imposter. Right after the interrogation, something came over
those men and they were aghast. There before them was the glory of God.
Peter immediately jumped up and said, "Thou art the Son of God." This is

30 MINUTES OF THE 71ST ANNUAL ASSEMBLY
the way divine revelation comes. It comes when all conditions are met. The
day is not far o&#6684774; when the saints of God outside the sheep&#6684783;ld will be so hungry
they are going to want this so bad they are going to humbly yield to God. Not
long ago I stood in a little log cabin where the &#6684777;rst General Assembly was held.
Those people had the vision of the Church that you and I have today.
Stephen had such a vision of the Church that he willingly gave his li&#6684773; for
the Church of God. As he stood looking at the angry &#6684769;ces with the stones
clutched in their fists, he continued preaching with power and virtue &#6684786;om
Almighty God. When the first stone came, he knelt and prayed. The heavens
opened and a heavenly scene appeared: there was God the Father and on His
right hand was His Son, Jesus, the Lamb of God, the King of kings, ready to
dispatch the angels to bring him home to glory. This is the same Church of
God of which Stephen and the Apostles were members. (Great rejoicing in the
congregation.) This might be the right moment &#6684783;r you to receive divine
revelation. (Altar invitation; people came running and &#6684777;lled the altar space.)

10:12 R. B. Finlayson, Jr. in charge. Genesis 3:1-7, 21 read by Mary Sue
Flippo. Singing by New York State Choir.
10:27 Message by R. B. Finlayson, Jr. Excerpts: Re&#6684773;rred to Genesis 3. God
created them in His own likeness. There was good communication between
God and Adam, who was a godly and righteous man: "Righteousness exalteth
a nation but sin is a reproach to any people."
This is God's house just as much as when God drew Moses up on that moun
tain and said, "Moses, take the shoes &#6684786;om o&#6684774; your feet. The ground you are
standing on is holy ground." We are on holy ground. The prodigal left because
things looked greener on the other side of the &#6684773;nce. It looked good at first. The
Father's house had government, and the prodigal didn't want to stay. He
wasted his living; he got into trouble; but, he came to himself. Many have left
the Father's house, but wish they could get back. They left because they can't
do some things in the Father's house. It is the straight gate; the narrow way
that leadeth unto life.
The devil is out to capture our young married, middle-aged married, old
married. If we are to love our enemies and do good to those that despitefully
use us, what about your &#6684780;esh and blood? "For you are no more twain, but
one." The union of marriage God compared to Christ and His Church. Don't
let the devil make you think you can have the victory. If one is a devil and hin-

36 MINUTES OF THE 71ST ANNUAL ASSEMBLY
ders you, move out and serve God. I am talking about two professing Chris
tians. We could use more healings. The Christian world outside the Church is
waiting &#6684783;r something. They don't understand the principles of God. The
Church of God knows. We want to be like Lazarus, he was alive after God
called him back. Some have left the Church because of certain conditions.
They want to hold on to salvation. There is a question in my mind how people
can hold on to salvation when they turn their backs on the truth and light. I
am not saying people outside the Church are not saved, but I am saying people
who have been in the Church, get a divine revelation of the Church, turn their
backs on the teachings, they are lost.
When you are saved, sanctified, and filled with the Holy Ghost, you are just
ready to work and witness &#6684783;r the Lord. To be saved is good. Every member a
worker-not the faithful few. Lazarus was alive, for Jesus said, "Come forth!"
What was the good of just being alive if he was bound? We must be careful
when Jesus looses us; when He puts clothing on us. We must be careful not to
be entangled with the yoke of bondage. God put the manifold wisdom in the
Church. When you think you know more than the Church, you know too
much. This comes &#6684786;om God. Some of us need to be loosed &#6684786;om our ideas, our
opinions, and let our will crumble to the will of God-to the will of the Church
of God. Half-heartedness won't do. Some of us need to be loosed from getting
on the borderline with the world. If God in His wisdom gave it to the Church
members, stay away &#6684786;om those drive-in movies. The world will sap your
strength. The advice to members to some people seems &#6684783;olish, but when the
Lord saved you, He saved you &#6684786;om sin. This is the Father's house. Looking
like a child of God, going where a child of God will go and believing it like a
child of God, then we will talk to the Lord. Young people, don't get the spirit
that the older people are against you. In the Church of God, there is no genera
tion gap. God will supply your need.

Need." Altar invitation by Brother Finlayson. Altar music by Mike Flippo

a church with spirit; we are alive; we are God's army on earth. The Church
strives to be of one mind and one spirit, maintaining the one faith that was
delivered to the saints. We take the whole Bible rightly divided. Israel was
restless to move, and I believe that is the picture of the Church of God today.
Let's go on to perfection-to the Promised Land. Numbers 10:28-30. Hobab
held up that &#6684783;rward march for some time. There came a time when God gave
the marching orders in spite of Hobab, and they marched o&#6684774; and left him. The
Church is going to march o&#6684774; and leave these things that are not consistent
with the true spirit and government of the Church. The true spirit of the
Church must be revived in every member. Representative of our Church is our
lively music, singing, shouting and marching. We are an army marching on. In
recent years, many have cooled to these outward expressions of the Church of
God spirit. The fire that charges our zeal is &#6684786;om God. We have brought too
many things in from the world to excite our people, but we do not need man
made gimmicks. We need fire from above. I believe God has had about all of
some things He can take and His fire is going to consume things not according
to His Word. Paul said that the fire would try every man's work.
Jesus said, "The gates of hell shall not prevail against the Church."
Theocratic government is the most beautiful gove&#7471214;ment in the world, govern
ment by the immediate direction of God. It calls for counseling, discussion and
prayer which the Holy Ghost uses to lead us to a unanimous agreement-when
necessary a submission to authority. Theocracy requires dedication to God.
Acts gives a beautiful thesis of theocracy settling questions on doctrine and
practices. The secret is, they were filled with the Holy Ghost. In Acts 15, men
of di&#6684774;erent opinions were discussing the issues a&#6684774;ecting the Church, but the
meeting was summed up with, "Then pleased it the apostles and elders, with
the whole church." In Acts 13, the Holy Ghost said,
1
' ••• Separate me Barna
bas and Saul for the work whereunto I have called them." In local churches,
conventions, the General Assembly, we come to decisions after prayer, coun
seling, discussion and a unanimous agreement as the Holy Ghost directs us to
find the mind of God.
The Early Church prospered under theocracy. Acts 6 tells of the leaders be
ing overcharged with secular aspects of the Church, and they corrected that by
appointing deacons so they could give themselves to prayer and study of the
Word of God. Overcharged men have a tendency to run the Church in their
wisdom, abilities, logic, and talents. Consecrated men try to determine how
God wants it run. God calls some to be pastors, evangelists, teachers and
singers. The authority of the Church works with God through the theocratic
process to help them &#6684777;nd their places in the Body and fulfill their calls. Our
job as pastors is to help every member find his place in the Body. Paul made it
clear that he did not abuse his authority in 2 Corinthians 1:24. Paul worked
with them. He didn't like abusing members. Paul was not teaching rebellion
against authority or government. We operate under grace with love. We must
submit or we are in trouble with God. As David submitted to Saul so must we
submit to God. Disciples are servants one of another-not masters. Matthew
23:8. You are my brother. In theocracy, a servant cannot order another servant
around. In the political world, you can. We had better get back to the Sermon

on the Mount and Jesus' teachings on government. Any deviation &#6684786;om the
divine plan of theocracy produces weakness, division, strife, resentment,
repression, exploitation, increasing fruitlessness and finally rebellion and
death. The desire of the Lord is to show the world authority by grace and not
law. The end result of abuse of theocratic government is in 1 Samuel 8. May
we never hear the cry in the Church of God, make our gove&#7471214;ment like
denominational churches. Those in authority were taking advantage and
lording over the people and abusing the financial system of that day. Isaiah
9:7. There is to be an increase of government in the last days-not an abuse of
government. Proverbs 29:2. I am listening for the words that Moses heard
when God said, "Speak unto the Children of Israel that they go forward. God
aims to bring His Church in one piece, not in fragmented denominations. He
brought us out of the Dark Ages, and He will bring us into the Promised Land.
Th.e Holy Ghost has the Arise-shine banner leading us on. Let's get behind it
and go on.

General Overseer's Annual Address
Before the Seventy-first Annual Assembly
of the Church of God
THE CHURCH OF GOD FLAG PLEDGE
I pledge allegiance to our Church &#6684780;ag, &#6357102;d to the doctrine &#6684783;r which it
stands-one God, one Faith, one Mind, and one Church for all. Amen!
THE BIBLE PLEDGE
I pledge alle&#6750313;ance to the Bible, God's Holy Word. I &#7798889;ll make it a lamp
unto my f&#6619237;t and a light unto my path. I will hide its words in my h&#6619233;rt that
I might not s&#6881390; against God.
INTRODUCTION
When Jesus and the apostles were a&#6422639;ut to leave the upper r&#7274607;m where
He had instituted the Lord's Supper &#6357102;d wash&#6619236; their feet, He prayed a
mighty prayer for the Church. He was on His way to the G&#6357106;den of
Gethsemane, the infamous trial, &#6357102;d the cross of Calvary, where He would
purcha&#7536741; the Church with His own blood. This last prayer is weighty with
meaning &#6684783;r us. Everything was being committed into the hands of the
Father. A portion of this prayer seems fitting as a beginning for this
address, since we feel we are so near to our Lord's ret&#7667826;n, and in view of the
Scriptural goal of oneness and unity. In John 17:21-23, He prayed:
"That they a&#7077996; may be one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that
they also may &#6422629; one in us: that the world may believe that thou hast sent
me.

MINUTES OF THE 71ST ANNUAL ASSEMBLY 39
"And the glory which thou gavest me I have given them; that they may
be one, even as we are one:
"I in them, &#6357102;d thou in me, that they may be made perfect in one; and
that the world may know that thou hast sent me, and hast loved them, as
thou hast lov&#6619236; me."
This is no new doctrine to us. All who are in the Church should under
stand that this is our goal. It doesn't matter that it seems impossible. It is
according to the Bible, and according to Jesus' prayer, so that makes it
possible. Luke 1:37 says: "For with God nothing shall be impossible." This
is not to say that God is going to do all the work: but He will s&#6619237; that it is
done by the Church.
We are reminded of &#6357102; incident which took place perhaps around a hun
dred years after the Flood. I will read it &#6684786;om the 11th chapter of Genesis:
"And the whole earth was of one language, and of one speech.
"And it came to pass, as they jou&#7471214;eyed from the east, that they found a
plain in the land of Shinar: and they dwelt there.
"And they said one to &#6357102;other, Go to, let us make brick, and burn them
thoroughly. And they had brick &#6684783;r stone, and s&#7077993;me had they for mortar.
"And they said, Go to, let us build us a city and a tower, whose top may
reach unto heaven; and let us make us a name, lest we be scattered abroad
upon the face of the whole earth.
"And the Lord came down to see the city and the tower, which the
children of men builded.
"And the Lord said, Behold, the people is one, and they have a&#7077996; one
language; and this they begin to do: and now nothing will be restrained
&#6684786;om them, which they have imagined to do.
"Go to, let us go down, and there confound their language, that they may
not understand one another's speech.
"So the Lord scatter&#6619236; them abroad &#6684786;om thence upon the face of &#6357100;l the
earth: and they left off to build the city.
"Therefore is the name of it called Babel; b&#6619235;ause the Lord did there con
found the language of a&#7077996; the earth: and &#6684786;om thence did the Lord scatter
them abroad upon the face of all the earth."
The people who pro&#7340143;sed to build the city and tower were one all right:
even the Lord confirm&#6619236; that fact. And it was not their oneness that dis
pleased Him, but rather their purpose. God declared that, because they were
one, nothing would be restrain&#6619236; &#6684786;om them that they had set out to do.
They were one in mind &#6357102;d one in language. In other words, they were all
agreed upon their task, and they all s&#7340143;ke a&#7077993;ke conce&#7471214;ing it. And they
could carry out their purpose b&#6619235;ause they had but one l&#6357102;guage and one
speech.
But they were at cross-purposes &#7798889;th the commandment of God, who had
told them to &#6684777;ll the earth, and who had promised them a redemptive way to
heaven. Much could be said about this, but it is not my &#6357097;m to enlarge upon
their m&#6357102;-made program. It is enough to say that the confusion of tongues,
and therefore the confusion of understanding, resulted in a complex situa
tion with which we must cope even to this day.

40 MINUTES OF THE 71ST ANNUAL ASSEMBLY
The confusion of tongues and spe&#6619235;h would not have been n&#6619235;essa&#7471225; if
they had scattered abroad in the beginning, as the Lord had willed. B&#6619235;ause
of their disob&#6619236;ience, the Church's task has b&#6619237;n made more di&#6684879;cult-but
not impossible .. In Christ, the children of God that are scattered abroad
must be gathered together in one and made ready for His ret&#7471331;. This does
not mean,that all the children of God will gather to one e&#6357106;thly location, but
that they will &#6422629; one in faith and doctrine.
Of course, we are aw&#6357106;e that the denominational system does not s&#6619237; this.
But the t&#7471221;e sh&#6619237;p among them are beginning to see it; and, just as Jesus
said, " ... Them also I must b&#7471209;ng, and they shall hear my voice; and there
shall be one fold, and one shepherd." (John 10: 16) Although He says that
He will bring them, &#6357102;d that they will h&#6619233;r His voice, it is clear that the
Church is His voice since He went away, &#6357102;d that the Holy Ghost will
unctionize the Church &#7602287; do the work. In other words, we must work and
keep working at the job.
The Church is not being built with man-made brick, as was the Tower of
Babel. Neither is it being bond&#6619236; with s&#6881497;e or pitch. The Church is built of
"lively stones" (1 Peter 2:5), and the mortar is the "bond of pea&#6488165;"
(Ephesi&#6357102;s 4:3), and the "bond of perfectness" (Colossians 3:14), and is
"knit together in love." (Colossians 2:2)
All confusion conce&#7209179;ng the truth must cease, and &#6357100;l must s&#6619237; eye to eye
&#6357102;d speak the same thing. This leaves no room for personal opinions and
men's th&#6619247;ries. The c&#6881492;dren of God will come together as perf&#6619235;tly in one as
Jesus and the Father are one, according to His prayer, as well as according
to prophecy.
Some have misunders&#7274723;d us, thinki
&#7209063; that we teach that no one is saved
but Church of God members. If any of our ministers have taught this, they
must not continue doing so. The Church does not save. Only Christ can
save. In fact, p&#6619247;ple are not eligible for membership in the Ch&#7667826;ch until they
are saved. But the teaching of S&#6488178;ipture is very clear that all of the red&#6619237;med
will come together into the one &#6684783;ld be&#6684783;re Jesus comes in the air to call the
saints away.
At t&#6815849;s time, the children of God are scatter&#6619236; abroad in every nation of
the world. But not only in every political nation. They are fo&#7667822;d in the con·
fusion of denominationalism, some believing one thing and some another.
This is far &#6684786;om one language &#6357102;d one speech. This is far from the unity of
the Faith and being one even as the Father and the Son are one. But the
move is on! The Holy Ghost is doing His work of leading the sh&#6619237;p of God's
pasture into the one fold-the Church.
We who are in the Church &#6357106;e fortunate to be among the ones who are
privileg&#6619236; to help preach and teach the "a&#7077996; things" to every &#6488178;eature, but
only those who believe in this oneness themselves will be successful in
bringing others in. There are those &#6357101;ong us who seem to be having
problems about leaving fo&#7471213;er beliefs and private interpretations behind,
but they must do so if they hope to be i&#7209018; the Church when Jesus comes.
Those who have a city or tower of their own to build will surely be left
behind in the confusion of this world system when the &#15270111;pet sounds. The

MINUTES OF THE 71ST ANNUAL ASSEMBLY 41
way is clear and simple. Truth is the watchword, and when the confusion is
all cleared away, the truth will still be saying the same thing it was saying
when it was crushed to the earth so long ago.
The Church is the pillar and ground of the truth, and we cannot afford to
give time or strength to personal proj&#6619235;ts. Let's build the Church of God!
MEASURING TO THE DOCTRINE
Perhaps it would be assuming too much to say that all who have b&#6619237;n
added to the Church of God by &#6488175;venant understand the unique and divine
nature of the Church. Sometimes people request membership in the Church
because they &#7077993;ke the good, &#6684786;&#6619237; spirit they find among us: or perhaps they
have read our teachings and have found them in line with the Bible. This is
all right up to a point, but being a member of the Body of C&#6815858;ist means
much more than simply agreeing that our teachings &#6357106;e sound. They are also
to be lived, or practiced gladly and· willingly.
The Lord is not double-minded. His plan &#6684783;r time and ete&#7471214;ity was
ordain&#6619236; from the foundation of the world. All are called to embrace His
Plan, but not everyone accepts it. Others accept it half heartedly, but there
is a perfect unity about the plan of God, and the Holy Ghost will guide all
men into that unity if they will submit and follow Him. It is written:
"Endeavouring to keep the unity of the Spirit (the Holy Ghost) in the
bond of peace.
"There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of
your calling;
"One Lord, one faith, one baptism,
"One God and Father of all, who is a&#6422639;ve all, and through all, and in you
all." (Ephesians 4:3-6)
Since it is this way, there is no room &#6684783;r doing as we please. The Church is
here to preach and teach all things that Christ has commanded us, and it is
every individual's duty to accept sound teaching and preaching. By ac
cepting, we mean putting it into practice.
Since there is just one body, or Church, there is just one General Assem
bly with the authority to administer the affairs of the Church. The Assem
bly not only recommends sound business practices in the light of Scripture,
but, even more importantly, it interprets the doctrine when such becomes
necess&#6357106;y.
Not every Bible doctrine requires Assembly &#6881390;terpretation; however,
through the centuries men without God-given authority have corrupted
certain basic doctrines to such extent that they have become controversial,
confusing the minds of p&#6619247;ple as a whole. In the interest of truth, the
Church searches the Scriptures and studies these doctrines: then the
findings &#6357106;e brought before the Assembly for decision. We have &#6684783;und
Solomon's words to be wise:
"Where no counsel is, the p&#6619247;ple fall ( or err): but in the multitude of coun
sellors there is safety." (Proverbs 11:14)
"Without counsel purposes &#6357106;e disappointed: but in the multitude of
counsellors they are establish&#6619236;." ( Proverbs 15: 22)

42 MINUTES OF THE 71ST ANNUAL ASSEMBLY
In the case of doctrine, our pu&#7471216;ose is to be right with the Bible and to be
established in the truth.
I believe we can see the importance of all our local churches teaching and
practicing the same thing. We &#6357106;e trying to make the Church &#7012462;own to the
other sheep, as well as through evangelism. Our Voice of Salvation Radio
Broadcasts are reaching hundr&#6619236;s of thousands of p&#6619247;ple. They hear our
doctrine preach&#6619236;, and they r&#6619235;ognize it as Bible truth. We tell them of the
theocratic gov&#13828319;ent by which we operate. We preach the gathering
together in one of all the children of God that &#6357106;e scatter&#6619236; abroad, pointing
out the Scriptures that prove our stand. Up to this point, we get along very
well, &#6684783;r we are doing the Lord's w&#6881388;l in pr&#6619233;ching &#6357102;d t&#6619233;ching these things,
but it doesn't stop there.
It is not unusual to hear of p&#6619247;ple looking up our local churches after
hearing our broadcasts or attending some special ch&#7667826;ch gathering, such as
a convention or a revival crusade. Thousands visit Fields of the Wood and
read o&#7667826; markers. Some have noticed a local church in their area list&#6619236; on
the "On To Perfection Honor Ro&#7077996;." They have b&#6619237;n enthused that a church
with so high a standard is located near enough to their homes that they can
attend, so they have searched out those local churches, exp&#6619235;ting to s&#6619237; in
operation the doctrine we teach through our markers. All too often they are
disappointed in what they see &#6357102;d hear in the local church.
It makes one wonder just how that local church came to be r&#6619235;ognized on
the Honor Roll, or why it has ret&#6357097;ned &#6357102; honor stone if the members are no
longer measuring to the standard. Som&#6619247;ne has given their word that the
Church is eligible, but the evidence seems not to be there.
Now, I am not taking the Honor Stone program as my subj&#6619235;t. I &#6357101; only
using these things to show that every local church, and every member of the
Church should be measuring to the doctrine we teach-&#6684783;r their own soul's
good as well as &#6684783;r a witness to others. It is just not enough to preach a vic
torious Church, &#6357102;d one Church for all. We must m&#6357102;ifest that victory and
conduct ourselves &#6357102;d our services in such a manner as to show others that
we are that one Church.
Since we preach the &#6684786;uit of the spirit-love, joy, peace, longsuffering,
gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, and temperance, the people will
expect us to have enough love, joy and other virtues to give them a hearty
welcome to our services and to manifest an enthusiasm that agrees with
what they have heard about us.
Since we preach sancti&#6684777;cation as a second definite work of grace that
eradicates the adamic nature, p&#6619247;ple &#7798889;ll exp&#6619235;t us to manifest the sweet
spirit of, ''the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true
holiness." (Ephesians 4:24)
Since holiness is one of our prominent teachings, people will expect to s&#6619237;
holiness in our speech &#6357102;d conduct. Since holiness is op&#7340143;sed to the ways
and things of this world, p&#6619247;ple &#6357106;e going to be disappointed if they walk
into o&#7667826; services and &#6684777;nd our people l&#7274607;&#7012457;ng like the world and resorting to
worldly practices in the promotion of our pro&#6750322;&#6357101;.
Sup&#7340143;se people attend our services several times, then it comes time to

MINUTES OF THE 71ST ANNUAL ASSEMBLY 43
observe Communion and feet washing, but they notice that &#7340143;ssibly no
more than half of the membership take part, or maybe &#6357106;e not even present.
Can we blame them &#6684783;r wond&#6619250;ing about this?
These are just a few of the t&#6815849;ngs to which attention might be c&#7078093;ed.
Others might include disorg&#7209162;zed services, unanointed preaching &#6357102;d
teaching, or more interest in material things than in the spiritual. Don't you
agree that new p&#6619247;ple who come among us should find us just as zealous and
dedica&#6619352; in our local churches as they saw us to be in some sp&#6619235;ial service,
or heard us to be on our radio broadcasts? They &#7798889;ll be continually evaluat
&#6881390;g us-sizing us up.
I hope I am making it clear that we are not merely putting on a show of
zeal or holiness or good works. Doesn't it seem that we should be what we
preach b&#6619235;ause of the grace of God in our &#7077993;ves that provokes us to love and
good works? (Hebrews 10:24) I don't think we should pretend to be some
thing we are not, but sometimes it is necessary to stir ourselves up and let
the spirit of God demonstrate what we are. We should be much more than
puppets in the hands of anoth&#6619250;. We have life in ourselves to enable us to be
up and doing! Hallelujah!
The apostle Paul &#7798898;ote to the church at Corinth that he had boasted
about them to some others whom he was bringing their way. He said:
"For I know the forwardness of your mind, for which I boast of you to
them of Macedonia ...
''Yet have I sent the brethren, lest our boasting of you should be in vain in
this behalf . . .
"Lest haply if they of Macedonia come with me, and &#6684777;nd you unprepared,
we (that we say not, ye) should be ashamed in this s&#6357101;e con&#6684777;dent
boasting." (2 Corinthians 9:2-4)
I know this pertain&#6619236; to &#6357102; o&#6684774;ering &#6684783;r the &#7340143;or, but how much more
should it pert&#6357097;n to the doctrine! We must bew&#6357106;e lest the good things said
by us, or about us, are not fo&#7667822;d true of us u&#7340143;n investigation. The Lord
knows about us, even if no one else ever comes our way. In this s&#6357101;e letter,
the apostle made a similar application to their inward affairs:
"For I fear, lest, when I come, I shall not find you such as I would, and
that I sha&#7077996; be found unto you such as ye would not: lest there be debates,
envyings, wraths, strifes, backbitings, whisperings, swellings, tumults." (2
Corinthians 12:20)
To the Philippians, the same apostle &#7798898;ote: "Only let your conversation
(conduct) be as it becometh the gospel of Christ: that whether I come and
see you, or else be absent, I may hear of your affairs, that ye stand fast in
one spirit, &#7798889;th one mind striving together for the faith of the gospel."
( Philippians 1: 27)
This is what we call really be&#6881390;g Christians and members of the Body of
Christ. If we really quali&#6684793;, it &#14876885; not matter if p&#6619247;ple come among us;
whatever they have heard of our affairs, they will &#6684777;nd us to be; but if they
do not come, we will still be conducting ourselves as b&#6619235;ometh the gos&#7340133;l.
Remember the story of the Queen of Sheba visiting Israel b&#6619235;ause of what
she had heard? She came to prove King Solomon with hard questions. In the

44 MINUTES OF THE 71ST ANNUAL ASSEMBLY
end, we are told that there was no more spirit in her. Notice what she said:
". . . It was a true report that I heard in mine own l&#6357102;d of thy acts and of
thy wisdom.
"Howbeit I believed not the words, until I came, and mine eyes had s&#6619237;n
it: and, behold, the half was not told me: thy wisdom and prosperity
exceedeth the fame which I heard." (1 Kings 10:6, 7)
What if she had &#6684783;und that only half of what she heard was true? Think of
the reproach to the glory of God! Think of the shame it would have been to
Solomon and those who attended him! But, thank the Lord, she found
things more than twice as wonderful as she had heard them to be! I ask you:
can we a&#6684774;ord to be outdone today?
"GIVE YE THEM TO EAT"
The story of a great miracle is recorded in the 6th chapter of Mark-the
f&#6619237;ding of the &#6684777;ve thousand. Jesus and His disciples had withdrawn into a
desert place for a little rest, but the p&#6619247;ple fo&#7077996;owed them, hungry for the
word of God. Jesus was moved with compassion because they were as sh&#6619237;p
having no shepherd; and He spent a good part of the day teaching them.
"And when the day was now far spent, his disciples came unto him, and
said, This is a desert place, and now the time is far passed:
"Send them away, that they may go into the country round about, and
into the villages, and buy themselves bread: &#6684783;r they have nothing to eat.
"He &#6357102;swered and said unto them, Give ye them to eat .... "
This rather t&#7274607;k the disciples by surprise, but Jesus instructed them to
bring to Him the five loaves and two &#6684777;shes that were available. Then,
seating the p&#6619247;ple in companies and ranks by hundreds and by &#6684777;fties, He
blessed &#6357102;d broke the loaves &#6357102;d divided the &#6684777;shes, and had the disciples to
set them before the people.
"And they did all eat, and were &#6684777;lled."
Was Jesus more interested in feeding the physical man than the spiritual?
No, He had b&#6619237;n giving out the spiritual meat, possibly most of the day.
Though this was truly a wonderful m&#6881394;acle, performed only by the power of
God, we must agr&#6619237; that giving out the spiritual meat is greater. It calls to
mind the Master's words in His Sermon on the Mount-"But seek ye first
the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be
added unto you." (Matthew 6:33)
The things He refe&#7471218;&#6619236; to were the natural needs, such as food and rai
ment. In these words, He is telling us that the natural things are not to be
sought after, but rather the spiritual things. He knows we have natural
needs while we are in this life, but He provides those things even for the un
just. He has better things for His children.
Considerable conce&#7471214; is expressed &#6684786;om time to time because we do not ex
perience more miracles. It seems to take the miraculous to keep some of our
good p&#6619247;ple encourag&#6619236;, but we can't &#6684783;rce miracles. The Lord is the only
One who can perform them. I wonder if the lesson taught in the verse above
should be taken more seriously. We ne&#6619236; to put &#6684777;rst things in first place. He
said, "Seek ye &#6684777;rst the kingdom of God and his right&#6619247;usness.'' We take

MINUTES OF THE 71ST ANNUAL ASSEMBLY 45
this to mean that the thing of &#6684777;rst &#6881389;portance is God's &#6750322;eat salvation and
the holy, righteous life that belongs to it. These we are to seek.
The p&#6619247;ple followed Jesus to the desert place seeking that which the Lord
has to teach them. Physical hunger seemed secondary: but this great
feeding was added, evidently b&#6619235;ause Jesus recognized it as a natural n&#6619237;d.
While it met the need, the miracle was also edi&#6684793;ing.
The Church of God, the Body of Christ, is here to give the people spiritual
meat. We have had this spiritual meat &#6684783;r them all along, but it seems that
only recently they have begun to realize their under-nourished condition.
Some of our people have wondered about so many receiving the Holy Ghost
outside the Ch&#7667826;ch. It seems clear that it is b&#6619235;ause honest-hearted p&#6619247;ple
need the Holy Ghost to lead and guide them into all truth.
The Church doesn't save p&#6619247;ple. In fact, we teach that each one who takes
the covenant must &#6684777;rst be sav&#6619236;. The Church doesn't sanctify p&#6619247;ple, or fill
them with the Holy Ghost. These blessings are all a part of God's great
salvation. They &#6357106;e for all who will receive them, wherever they will accept
them. The Church teaches these experiences, and thousands of people have
received them in our se&#7471222;ices, or under our ministry. The Church's com
mission includes the ev&#6357102;gelization of the world, but it extends beyond this
to include, as Jesus said, "Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I
have commanded you."
When we go out to the p&#6619247;ple, or when they come to us, we start teaching
them wherever the n&#6619237;d begins. If they are still in sin, we begin with the
saving grace of God. Giving the p&#6619247;ple spiritual meat is definitely the
mission of the Church. This is not to be left to individuals-popular person
alities or f&#6357101;&#6619236; c&#6357101;paignists. We do not bemean their work, but we do say
they cannot do the work which God has reserved &#6684783;r the Church alone to do.
The people who are saved under their ministry &#6357106;e usually advised to join
the church of their choice, or perhaps to refrain &#6684786;om asso&#6488169;ating themselves
with any organization. This is about the only advice that a minister without
a divine revelation can give.
The p&#6619247;ple &#6357106;e left adrift with nothing to establish them in all truth. It is
true at this very hour that many who have received the baptism of the Holy
Ghost &#6357106;e alr&#4522023;.ady inquiring &#6684783;r God's Church. Evidently they c&#6357102; see &#6684786;om
the Scriptures that God has a Church in this world, and there are some
things which &#6357201;not be accomplished without system and gove&#7471214;ment.
They seem not to know where the Church is at this time. Who &#14876885; tell them?
It is true that the Holy Ghost will lead and guide them, but the Holy
Ghost does His preaching and teaching through hum&#6357102; vessels which He
anoints for this ministry. Perhaps we have become so involved &#6881390; the thrill
others are experiencing that we have failed to realize that we have known
and had these experiences all along. Could it be that we have become so con
ce&#7471214;ed with the principles of the doctrine of Christ that we have forgotten
our res&#7340143;nsibility to leave these &#6357102;d go on unto perfection? (Hebrews 6:1)
The gathering program and the perf&#6619235;tion message &#6357106;e unique with the
Church. If there are &#6357102;y others who preach these things, you will obse&#7471222;e
that they give them a different meaning. Their gathering is more union than

46 MINUTES OF THE 71ST ANNUAL ASSEMBLY
unity; &#6357102;d their perfection is more love than the &#7340133;rf&#6619235;t man of Ephesians
4:13. At this time, it s&#6619237;ms the Church has meat to eat that they know not
of, just as Jesus had meat to eat that the disciples knew not of in the e&#6357106;lier
part of His ministry.
Would it be t&#7274607; much to say that we need to take more pleasure and
satisfaction in o&#7667826; Church of God meat, and thereby make others hungry for
the all truth that the same Holy Ghost they have has given to us? I don't
think we should act ashamed of our loaves and &#6684777;shes. In the hands of the
Lord, they contain everything the hungry multitudes have n&#6619337; of. Instead
of saying among ourselves, "What are these few loaves and fishes among so
many people?" We sho&#7667820;d do as Jesus s&#6357097;d-"Give ye th&#6619245; to eat."
In a number of instances recently, we have seen others were happy &#3014883; h&#6357207;
the Church of God message. They had been studying the Scriptures and
praying, and the Holy Ghost revealed many t&#6815849;ngs to them. Some groups
had alr&#6619233;dy come to the place they could accept every one of the prominent
teachings of the Church, and they were only waiting &#6684783;r us.
If we go out preaching only the things everyone else is preac&#6815849;ng, we will
be considered one among many, which is the de&#6684777;nition of the word denomi
nation. This must not be. If we preach all truth, the hungry p&#6619247;ple &#6881507;l
follow us even &#6881390;&#3014883; the desert places to hear what we have to tell them.
In the days of Christ on earth, the crowds gathered around Him. After He
had ascended to the Father, they gather&#6619236; around the apostles. Where are
they gathering today? The Church is the Body of Christ. T&#6815849;s we know. If
the p&#6619247;ple are not gathering aro&#7667822;d the Body, we should ask ourselves why?
Then we should face up to the answer.
Could it be that too many have b&#6619235;ome a bit &#3014883;o sop&#6815849;sticat&#6619236; &#3014883; a&#7143629;t
the small lad with his lunch basket has the makings of what t&#6815849;s world
needs? H&#7667822;gry people don't quibble so much about who holds the basket.
They want to know what is in it! Hallelujah!
When we begin to speak to the multitudes as no other m&#6357102; speaks, the
people will be astonish&#6619236; at what the Church has &#3014883; o&#6684774;&#6619250;! I say, "Give ye
them to &#6619233;t!"
OUR FAITHFUL ONES
Steadfastness is a premium quality in any minister. It is de&#6881492;&#6619236; as being
&#6684777;rm, &#6684777;x&#6619236;, settled, or establish&#6619236;; const&#6357102;t, without ch&#6357102;ging or wavering.
One must know what he be&#7077993;ev&#6619251;, hav&#6881390;g faith and trust that he is right, in
order to quali&#6684793; for steadfastness. I esp&#6619235;ially like that part of the de&#6684777;nition
that says "constant, without changing or wavering." To be const&#6357102;t me&#6357102;s
to be the same all the time. It means going st&#6619233;dily &#6684783;&#7471223;ard, even when
others falter or entertain doubt or &#6553705;scouragement.
Sometimes con&#6553705;tions develop which try the soul. When Paul was in
prison, facing ex&#6619235;ution by order of Nero, conditions were far &#6684786;om bright,
naturally speaking; but notice his words in a letter to Timothy:
" ... Nevertheless I am not ashamed: &#6684783;r I &#7012462;ow whom I have believed,
and am persuad&#6619236; that he is able to keep that w&#6815849;ch I have co&#7143638;tted un&#3014883;
him against that day." (2 Timothy 1:12)

MINUTES OF THE 71ST ANNUAL ASSEMBLY 47
Then, instead of showing discouragement, he continued with the words of
encouragement to Timothy:
"Hold fast the &#6684783;rm of sound words, which thou hast heard of me, in faith
and love which is in Christ Jesus.
"That good thing which was committed unto thee keep by the Holy Ghost
which dwelleth in us."
I suppose most ministers have had to face situations that the enemy was
using to discourage them. Sometimes the Lord permits these things, for this
is one way He has of &#6684777;nding out what we &#6357106;e made of. The work of God can't
be done in the kind of world in which we live except by men and women who
&#6357106;e steadfast and constant in the truth of God. Even the bravest warriors
sometimes have to go through the fires of testing to prove their mettle.
I believe we will agree that the prophet Elijah was one of the most faithful
ministers in Old Testament times, but he had his moments of trial. He
prophesied in a t&#6881389;e when I�rael as a nation had tu&#7471214;ed away &#6684786;om God &#6357102;d
was worshipping Baal. The Bible gives the story of what seems to have b&#6619237;n
Elijah's greatest hour of testing. There is strong indication that he became
greatly discouraged; not in his love &#6684783;r God, but in his ministry. It may
serve as w&#7471311;ing to us that this &#6750322;eat trial came immediately after one of his
greatest victories.
Elijah had challeng&#6619236; the prophets of Baal to prove their god on Mount
C&#6357106;mel in the presence of the p&#6619247;ple. The god who could answer by fire &#6357102;d
consume the sacri&#6684777;ce was to be the true and living God. The people said, "It
is well spoken." The story is familiar. There was no answer &#6684786;om Baal, but
when Elijah prayed, God sent &#6684777;re down &#6684786;om heaven, consuming the sacri
fice, and even the altar. The p&#6619247;ple fell on their faces crying, "The Lord, he
is God; the Lord, he is God." (1 Kings 18:39)
Then E&#7077993;jah said, "Take the prophets of Baal; let not one of them escape."
It was done. S&#7274607;n after this, the hand of the Lord came upon His prophet
and Elijah outran King Ahab's chariot to Jezreel, some twenty miles
&#6553705;stant.
When Ahab's wicked wife, Jezebel, l&#14090447;ed of the slaying of the prophets
of Baal, she sent word to Elijah that she would s&#6619237; that his life was taken by
tomorrow at the same time. T&#6815849;s evil woman had had all the prophets of the
Lord slain, except a hundred who were hidden in caves, so Elijah ran &#6684783;r his
&#7077993;fe, going to Beer-Sheba in the land of Judah, more th&#6357102; a hundred miles to
the south. There he went out into the wilde&#7471214;ess, sat down under a tree, and
asked the Lord to let him die. Of course, the Lord did not grant his request,
but He miraculously fed him, &#6357102;d Elijah went on the strength of that meat
&#6684783;rty days and &#6684783;rty nights. (1 Kings 19:5-8)
The next we read of the prophet, he was at Mount Horeb, perhaps another
hundred and &#13369565;y miles farther south, and that much farther away &#6684786;om
Israel &#6357102;d the wicked Jezebel. He was lodging &#6881390; a cave, &#6357102;d the Lord came
to him and asked, "What doest thou here, Elijah?" The prophet's discour
aged answer was:
"I have been very jealous &#6684783;r the Lord God of hosts: for the children of
Israel have forsaken thy covenant, thro&#7798894; down thine alt&#6357106;s, and slain thy

48 MINUTES OF THE 71ST ANNUAL ASSEMBLY
prophets with the sword; and I, even I only, am left; and they seek my life,
to take it away." (1 Kings 19:10)
After God had shown the prophet His glory in a wind, an earthquake, and
a fire, He spoke to him in a still small voice asking him the same question,
and receiving the same disco&#7667826;ag&#6619236; &#6357102;swer. This time-the Lord continued
with some instructions which made Elijah to know that he sti&#7077996; had work to
do. He was to return &#6684786;om this far-away hiding place and anoint a king over
Syria and a new &#7012457;ng over Israel. He was also to anoint Elisha to be prophet
in his stead by and by. These two kings and the new prophet would be used
in God's own way and time to perform God's wi&#7077996; conce&#7209179;ng Israel.
Then came some surprising words of encouragement: "Yet I have left me
seven thousand in Israel, all the knees which have not bowed unto Baal, and
every. mouth which hath not kissed him.'' ( 1 Kings 19: 18) .
Evidently the manifestation of God's glory, the still small voice, and the
heartening words with the commission to go on with his duties as a prophet,
were just what Elijah needed, for he immediately departed from Mo&#7667822;t
Horeb and began the work assigned to him.
We often remind ourselves-that the Lord has not changed. David tells us
over and over that God's mercy endureth forever. Many people do become
discouraged at times, but the Bible assures us that the Lord knows His o&#7798894;.
In 2 Timothy 2:19, we read: "Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth
sure, ha&#7733353;ng this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his." We must trust
Him; and when we do, everything &#6357100;ways works out for our good and for His
glory.
Thousands of p&#6619247;ple in the Church of God today have seen God work in
wondrous ways. Many have gone through the rough places and were taught
to live by the Bible. Some of them came from groups who were not very
careful about obeying the Word. They wanted something better-some
t&#6815849;ng with life, and not so much form. They studied the Bible, praying and
fasting, and going to church every time the doors were opened. They disci
plined themselves and let the Holy Ghost guide them into all truth. Their
lives were so a&#6684774;ected that they would now feel backslidden even to think of
&#7077993;ving any other way.
The present worldly trend grieves and troubles their hearts. They can't
understand how people can testi&#6684793; to being wholly sanctified and baptized
with the Holy Ghost, &#6357102;d yet contend for such a liberal interpretation of the
Word of God. Perhaps there are times when they feel very much as Elijah
felt-that he was the only prophet of God that was left, and they were
seeking his life, to take it away. I wonder if the Lord's words on that
occasion might apply at this t&#6881389;e: "I have left me seven thousand ... a&#7077996;
the knees which have not bowed to Baal."
It seems that the Lord's instructions to Elijah are in season &#6684783;r us now.
These faithful ones have much to offer the Ch&#7667826;ch of God. It could be that
some have grown quieter than they would like to be, feeling that they have
been outnumbered by those holding more lenient opinions of Christian
living, orwho have been able to outdo them educationally. They may be suf-

MINUTES OF THE 71ST ANNUAL ASSEMBLY 49
fering inw&#6357106;dly because they know that the old paths are the good way, but
who are backward and a&#6684786;aid to speak out as they once did.
They may feel alone, but the Lord has many more faithful ones in rese&#7471222;e.
He knows where and who they are. He has not let them down, &#6684783;r He under
stands their hearts. Perhaps a few E&#7077993;jahs need to step out with a renewed
anointing &#6684786;om God and begin going up and down through the land once
more, proclaiming the unchangeable Word and will of the Lord. Wouldn't it
be wonderful if every one of today's Elijahs could stir seven thousand more
faithful ones to &#6488175;me out of hiding, as it were, and begin to preach the truth
with the holy boldness of the e&#6357106;ly apostles? Hallelujah!
I think we should encourage every one of our faithful ministers and
members &#7602287; come forward and let their dedication be kno&#7798894;. This is no time
to remain silent, or to sit quietly in hiding, so to speak, when so many are
seeking &#6684783;r greater light and are looking &#6684783;r a p&#6619247;ple who are not asham&#6619236; to
let it shine. This is no time to run away &#6684786;om o&#7667826; responsibility just b&#6619235;ause
others so brazenly de&#6684793; us.
Some of us may not live to see the victories God has promised His Church
right here in this world, but we may have to go &#6684783;rth with the holy anointing
oil of the Holy Ghost and help prepare others to fill our places and finish the
work.
Faithf&#7667820; mi&#7209065;sters and members are the only ones who can teach others
how to work for God. Those who insist on imposing their own ways upon the
Church are not qualifi&#6619236; to teach others. Very soon now, they will &#6684777;nd them
selves beating the air, but with no fire falling &#6684786;om heaven upon their altars.
All who &#7798889;ll stand for and live according to the Holy Word of God must
go everywhere preaching and witnessing, and the Lord will work with them,
confirming His word with signs following. Then hungry souls in search of
the truth will fall on their faces crying, "The Lord, he is God! The Lord, he is
God!" Oh, hallelujah!
OUR YOUNG MINISTERS
We th&#6357102;k the Lord for the many young people who &#6357106;e willing to answer
the call of God &#6357102;d prep&#6357106;e and quali&#6684793; themselves to carry the message of
Christ and His Church to others. We feel that this is the Lord's doing;
because, as the apostle John said, yo&#7667822;g men are strong, and they have a
life of valuable service be&#6684783;re them to render unto the Lord.
These young people must be encouraged to do the Lord's will, but such
encouragement must be seasoned with wisdom, and sound advice and
instructions. The call of God is a sober calling; something that the in&#6553705;vid
ual must be very sure about. A mistaken calling can result in discourage
ment and failure. For this reason, it s&#6619237;ms good to o&#6684774;er some suggestions
for the good of all -both the young persons and those who are responsible to
get them started in their ministries.
First, the ability to give a g&#7274607;d, fiery testimony should not be taken as
sufficient indication that the Lord has called, or is about to call one into His
ministry. It is better to let the Lord do the calling. When the Lord puts His
hand on an individual for this purpose, it involves much more than the th&#7471209;ll.

50 MINUTES OF THE 71ST ANNUAL ASSEMBLY
It is safe to say that there will be a real sense of burden, responsibility, and
the fear of God. The one called will probably feel almost totally unquali&#6684777;ed.
While he may readily accept the ca&#7077996;, it is almost certain that he will ap·
proach the actual exer&#6488169;se of duty with fear and trembling. I believe the
ex&#6357101;ples of God-called men in the Scriptures w&#6881388;l be&#6357106; t&#6815849;s out.
Take the apostles for examples. When Jesus set the Church in order, it is
written that ''He ordained twelve, that they should be with him, and that he
might send them &#6684783;rth to preach." ( Mark 3: 14) There is no indication that
He sent them forth imm&#6619236;iately. In chapter 6, we have the record of their
being s&#6619246;t &#6684783;rth; they had been in training for some time before.
Moses, with 80 ye&#6357106;s of prep&#6357106;ation, so to speak, pl&#6619236; his great insu&#6684879;
ciency when the Lord called him. At least two of the Major Prophets, Isaiah
and Jeremiah, confess&#6619236; their weaknesses in the face of their call. In fact,
Jeremiah said, "Ah, Lord God! behold, I cannot speak: &#6684783;r I &#6357101; a child."
(Jeremiah 1:6) Of course, he was not actually a child, though he may have
been yo&#7667822;ger th&#6357102; some who were call&#6619236;: but he felt like a child in the &#6684769;ce
of the sobering assignment. The Lord did not accept his excuse, but be&#6684783;re
He sent him forth as a prophet, He touched the young man's mouth and put
the words of God in it, signi&#6684793;ing that He was sending him &#6684783;rth, not to
preach his o&#7798894; opinions, but what "Thus saith the Lord."
Isaiah had already preached a while before he was made to realize how un·
done and unquali&#6684777;&#6619236; he was. Then the Lord purged the prophet's lips and
posed the question, "Whom shall I send, and who will &#6750319; for us?" We s&#6619237;
&#6684786;om this that God was l&#7274607;king for a m&#6357102; who would go &#6684783;r us, &#6357102;d not in his
o&#7798894; personal interest. After this thorough purging, Isaiah was ready to say,
"Here am I; send me."
In this dispensation, the ministry is sent forth by those over them in the
Lord. This is New Testament order. There are opportunities &#6684783;r training
even in the local ch&#7667826;ch. The God-call&#6619236; yo&#7667822;g person could o&#6684774;er to accom
pany his pastor in visitation work and to assist in whatever other ways he
can. Band leaders could give opportunity for these younger ones to begin
&#7798889;th short messages in the band meetings. The younger minister may make
his services available, then wait u&#7340143;n the Lord to lead the way.
In addressing the minist&#7471225;, the apostle Peter says, "Likewise, ye
younger, submit yourselves unto the elder. Yea, all of you be subj&#6619235;t one to
another, and be clothed &#7798889;th humility: for God resisteth the proud, and
giveth grace to the humble." (1 Peter 5:5)
It is clear that the spirit of submission and subjection is one of the chief
qualifications for all ministers; and we can well understand why the apostle
would f&#6619237;l it wise to call this to the sp&#6619235;ial attention of the younger, since
they were inex&#7340133;rienc&#6619236;. He points out the danger of ordaining men be&#6684783;re
they are quali&#6684777;&#6619236;, in experience as well as in other ways. He says: "Not a
novice, lest being lifted up with pride he fall into the &#6488175;ndemnation of the
devil." (1 Timothy 3: 6)
A novice is an apprentice, or a beginner, new in a particular occupation.
There is nothing wrong with being a novice. All are such in the be&#6750313;nning of
their ministry, regardless of age; but they must be &#21758275;g to serve as ap-

MINUTES OF THE 71ST ANNUAL ASSEMBLY 51
prentices until those over them in the Lord f&#6619237;l they &#6357106;e qu&#13762867;ed for ad
vancement. Those in authority must use· great wisdom in giving assign
ments to beginners.
The reason for care and wisdom is clear. It is not a matter of exercising
lordship over younger ministers. It is rather a matter of conce&#7471214; for their
souls and for the success of their ministry. Pride is a favorite tool of the
enemy, perhaps because it is so adaptable. It can ado&#7471214; itself in the gar
ments of humility for at least a short time; but when pride lifts a person up,
he will fall into the condemnation of the enemy.
We are living in an a&#6684774;luent society today. For example, young mar&#7471209;ed
couples start out in life with a well-fu&#7209179;shed house, a car, and just about all
the things which once required a lifetime to accumulate. The worldly pre
valence of protest and rebellion has resulted in impatience and a demand &#6684783;r
recognition. It is probable that these attitudes carry over into the lives of
young ministers who quickly b&#6619235;ome restless for advancement &#6881390; the
Church, but God's plan has not changed. The call of God is more than
merely going &#6684783;rth. There is a total ministry to be fulfill&#6619236;.
Paul wrote one yo&#7667822;g minister: "Let no man despise thy youth; but be
thou an example of the believers, in word, in conversation, in charity, in
spirit, in faith, in purity, till I come, give attendance to reading, to exhorta
tion, to doctrine." ( 1 Timothy 4: 12, 13)
No man will &#6684777;nd fault with the youthful minister who makes himself an
example in the things Paul mentions, then waits for the one who is over him
in the Lord to come and give him further direction.
Long-time warriors and soldiers in the Church will not accept anything
that is not sound doctrine; they are afraid of things that have &#6357102; uncertain
sound. The young mi&#7209065;ster wi&#7077996; do well to let his ministry be temper&#6619236; by
the advice of those who have b&#6619237;n over the road &#6357096;ead of him. Some have
made shipwreck early in their ministry and have never been able to make a
total recovery.
Our younger ministers are to be encourag&#6619236; and given op&#7340143;rtunity to
develop, but they must also be taught. Then. they must apply themselves
and accept teaching in submission and h&#7667821;i&#7077993;ty. This a&#7077996; makes &#6684783;r spiritual
safety and a successful ministry. We want eve&#7471225; young minister to become
successful for the glory of God.
OUR BICENTENNIAL EVENT
I want to commend all the overseers, pastors, and other ministers and
members who took part in the Church's Bicentennial Event t&#6815849;s year. Great
interest was shown, and I feel that the results have been encouraging. Many
new communities have b&#6619237;n made acquainted with the Church of God, and
much interest has been shown in what the Church has to offer the people.
Many homes have been opened for prayer m&#6619237;tings; m&#6357102;y have welcomed
the White Wing Messenger and "Body of Christ" course; &#6357102;d some new
missions have been started.
This was an extensive project, and the &#6684783;llow-up wi&#7077996; continue for some
time. Some areas have not had time to establish missions or churches, but

52 MINUTES OF THE 71ST ANNUAL ASSEMBLY
prosp&#6619235;ts are good, &#6357102;d no doubt much more g&#7274607;d &#14876885; yet come &#6684786;om t&#6815849;s
event. Many thousands of tracts were distributed, leaving the Church
message and doctrine with the p&#6619247;ple to read and pond&#6619250;.
Some states invaded sever&#6357100; new cities and counties. One state reported
invasions in 37 new &#6684777;elds, and some others reached as many as 13 and 14.
The approach that was made gained for us the favor of the mayors and other
o&#6684774;icials of these cities and communities. There was good cooperation &#6684786;om
the news me&#6553705;a also.
The interest was so great in this Bicentenni&#6357100; Event that it has reached
outside the United States. This was a sp&#6619235;ial observan&#6488165; as our part in this
nation's 200th anniversary of independence, but inquiries have b&#6619237;n made
conce&#14352604;g a world-wide invasion for the year 1977. The overs&#6619237;rs of the
other nations have caught the zeal that was demonstrated in the States this
year. Perhaps an all-nations invasion could be launch&#6619236; to begin on Easter
Sunday and &#6488172;imax on Pent&#6619235;ost Sunday. The planning stages and the
&#6684783;llow-up would cover a longer time period. This would be a mighty mis
sionary endeavor, and it would need the backing of the Church's mission
efforts everywhere, both in prayers and &#6684777;nance.
According to Bible proph&#6619235;y, it appears that this generation has &#6357100;ready
s&#6619237;n m&#6357102;y things take place which Jesus said would identi&#6684793; the time &#6881389;
m&#6619236;iately before His return. Notice His words:
"Now lea&#7471214; a parable of the &#6684777;g tree; When his branch is yet tender, and
putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is nigh:
"So likewise ye, when ye sha&#7077996; see &#7078093; these things, know that it is near,
even at the doors.
"Ve&#7471209;ly I say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till all these things
be fulfilled.
"Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away."
(Matthew 24:32-35)
We must do in a hurry whatever we expect to do to &#6684777;nish the work. Being
ready for the Lord's ret&#7471331; is having the work all done: which means having
the Church ready for the Rapture. Since this includes an a&#7077996;-nations, eve&#7471225;
creature responsibility, we are going to have to be up and doing! We just
cannot take for granted that things are going to continue on and on as they
are. Prophecy c&#7078093;s for some drastic changes, and the Church is on pro&#6750322;am
to be the Lord's instr&#7667821;ent in doing the things prophecy declares must
come about. If we exp&#6619235;t others &#7602287; be attracted by what the Church is to do,
we &#6357106;e &#6750319;ing to have to be about the things that &#14876885; cause this attraction.
I f&#6619237;l that a world-wide thrust, such as would be necessary &#6684783;r an all
nations invasion, should have the approval of the Assembly. Perhaps the
Questions and Subjects Committee can bring a recommendation for the
Assembly's consideration.
OUR WORLD LANGUAGE WORK
O&#7667826; World Language Depar&#7602285;ent carries the burden of provi&#6553705;ng the
nations with printed Church literature in the different l&#6357102;guages. In his

MINUTES OF THE 71ST ANNUAL ASSEMBLY 53
address to the 30th Annual Assembly in 1935, the former General Overseer
said:
"The work of translating and printing in foreign languages has already
commenced, but our means is limited so the work can only be carried on
quite slowly. By the enthusiastic assistance of all of our local Victory Leader
Bands, the work c&#6357102; soon be carried on more extensively and with greater
speed."
In the 35th Annual Assembly in 1940, he said:
". . . I feel a s&#6619235;retary of lan&#6750325;ages is needed to assist the General Over
seer in that work the same as other s&#6619235;retaries are needed &#6684783;r their different
departments. In fact, this work is of such vast importance, and must be
done, that it will not only require one s&#6488279;etary, but other secretaries, tr&#6357102;s
lators, inspectors ; and in fact, this will develop into a colossal department."
It must be confessed that the Church has s&#6619237;m&#6619236; slow in developing this
vision of the fo&#7471213;er Gener&#6357100; Overseer. Other groups have outdone us in
printing and distributing their literature, but we must a&#6750322;ee that the Lord
has &#6553705;rected His Church in ways not &#6684789;lly understood at times.
Our Victory Leaders &#6357106;e to be highly commended &#6684783;r all they have done in
raising Free Literature Funds. God has greatly blessed the Church through
their labors, and I believe they can be count&#6619236; on to continue, and to in
crease their ef&#6684783;rts according to the n&#6619237;d. With the cle&#6357106;er vision of the
Church which they are receiving through our teaching programs, no doubt
they stand ready to do whatever they may be asked to do in helping to
spread this vision throughout the world by way of the printed page.
Our World Language Department has done its b&#6619251;t with the allotted
&#6684789;nds it has had to work with. All of the General Secretaries who have
serv&#6619236; in that department have carried a heavy burden because they could
see the great ne&#6619236;. Incr&#6619233;ses in printed matter in a few languages have b&#6619237;n
made &#7340143;ssible recently, but the need, or the demand, so greatly surpasses
the supply that it is evident something must be done. It seems that addi
tional &#6684789;nds sp&#6619235;i&#6684777;cally &#6684783;r this purpose is the answer.
I &#6357101; sugges&#7602281;ng that the Ways and Means Committ&#6619237; in this Assembly
bring a r&#6619235;ommendation to help pro&#7733353;de additional funds. Of course, enco&#7667826;
agement toward greater effort to increase the state convention Fr&#6619237; Litera
ture O&#6684774;ering would help; but &#7340143;ssibly a month-long drive could be made to
raise funds exclusively for the tr&#6357102;slation &#6357102;d printing of o&#7667826; Church litera
t&#7667826;e-similar to o&#7667826; World Mission Drives, the funds &#6684786;om which are sp&#6619235;i
fied &#6684783;r mission endeavors in other nations.
It s&#6619237;ms that we can hardly wait any longer to make a positive step in this
&#6553705;rection. Surely the Lord will help us if we will fu&#7209179;sh the willing heart and
the ready mind.

CONCLUSION
We thank the Lord &#6684783;r the way He has bless&#6619236; the Church in these last
days. As the Church has gro&#7798894; &#6881390; membership, He has provid&#6619236; the means
and the facilities with which to keep moving &#6684783;rward. He has helped us to
advance a long way from the time the General Of&#6684777;ces were just a room or
two in the General Overseer's home. He has provid&#6619236; buildings for our
General Assemblies according to the need.
Oh, it was so wonderful when the tabe&#7471214;acle on Central A venue was en
larged to where several thousand delegates could be accommodated, and it
was such a blessing when the Headquarters Of&#6684777;ces and Publishing House
across the street &#6684786;om the tabe&#7471214;acle were provided. Those facilities served
the Church well and had their part in helping the work to expand to where
bigger and better quarters were required. We must never forget how the
hand of the Lord has h&#6619244;ped us along. Oh, He has been so wonderful!
Now we have come &#7602287; the time and place that it s&#6619237;ms good to make
another major move in developing our General Headquarters Complex on
our Keith Str&#6619237;t property. The Assembly Tab&#7471315;acle indebtedness is well in
band, &#6357102;d the &#4980847;rd has helped us to where it seems pleasing to H&#6881389; for the

MINUTES OF THE 71ST ANNUAL ASSEMBLY 67
General Office Build&#6881390;g to be constructed • next to the White Wing
Publishing House.
Last year, the Ways &#6357102;d Means Com&#7143529;ttee r&#6619235;ommended that the World
Headquarters Construction Co&#7143533;itt&#6619237; proceed with the plans for this new
building and that the &#6488175;nstruction begin as soon as funds were available,
&#7798889;th the &#6750322;oundbreaking ceremony being a part of an Assembly pro&#6750322;am.
The committ&#6619237;'s recommendation has b&#6619237;n honored, &#6357102;d they have now
&#6750313;ven their approval &#6684783;r the gro&#7667822;dbrea&#6881497;g to be held and the construction
to be st&#6357106;ted.
It seems fitting and proper that the &#6750322;ound should be broken in the pre
sence of this &#6750322;eat assemblage of God's p&#6619247;ple who represent thousands of
others who have so nobly supported the Church's bu&#6881388;&#6553705;ng programs &#6881390; the
past; there&#6684783;re, it is our p&#7471209;vilege today to make this event a very spe&#6488169;&#6357100;
part of this 71st A&#7209070;ual Assembly.
We &#6357106;e going to sing our Battle Hymn, "At The Battle's Front," as we
have done annually &#6684783;r many years; then we are going to have a gr&#6357102;d
march to the site of the groundbreaking &#6684783;r the new General O&#6684879;ce Bu&#6881388;&#6881490;g.
We w&#6357102;t this to be a mighty &#7733353;c&#7602287;&#7471225; m&#6357106;ch, with praise and glo&#7471225; to the One
Who makes all good things possible. To God be the glory! Amen &#6357102;d Amen!

This places a responsibility upon each of us who would be teachers to under
stand the material well enough to teach it by precepts and ensamples. 1
Timothy 3: 15. We who are employed in the House of God must remember that
our performance is in the presence of God. We must per&#6684783;rm our jobs well lest
we bring a reproach upon the house of God. Psalm 132:13, 14. We didn't just
happen to become the Church of God-the Bride of Christ. This was the
Church of God before I was born and before we had many things that we have
today. God chose Zion. We are to teach that we are indeed the Body of
Christ-not will be, but we are today. The Bible and the Church of God
preach unity, and we are earnestly contending for the faith that was once
delivered to the saints. Time will come when every Church of God minister
will preach the same thing.
It would be good for all brethren to dwell together in unity. It has got to
begin with the ministry, because the ministry is given &#6684783;r the perfection of the
saints. Ephesians 4:3, 4. If there is one body, there should be one message. Un
ity will enable us to develop into the measure of the stature of the fulness of
Christ. When we submit to the spirit of the Holy Ghost, we will realize again
what was accomplished in Noah's Ark, and we will accept that He is able to
unite the most contrary dispositions in the bond of Christian love. It would be
wonderful if each would get into the same posture as Samuel, "Speak, Lord,
thy servant heareth."
Paul had a message that Rome needed. Many times we are only interested
in preaching to those people in our immediate area. Rome was considered the
gateway to the known world. Rome was a&#6684774;ecting the world, and the Apostle
Paul felt that if he could win Rome, he would have a pretty good chance to win
the world. Since he was prevented &#6684786;om going to Rome, he felt he must write
this letter. He said to the Greeks and to the barbarians, to the wise and those
that are not so wise. They have a right to hear the gospel. Church of God, we
are in debt to the world. 1 Timothy 1:12. I am happy to be a Church of God

70 MINUTES OF THE 71ST ANNUAL ASSEMBLY
preacher. I don't know of anything within the doctrine and the gove&#7471214;mental
procedure of the Church that I wouldn't be happy to preach. It is no problem
&#6684783;r me to preach that this is the one Church. It is no problem &#6684783;r me to preach
that God gave the vision to A. J. Tomlinson in this last day. I believe in the
things that happened in the mountain of North Carolina. Every appointment
made in the Church is divine because it is o&#6684879;cial. Many times an individual
preaches the Church of God, the Body of Christ, as long as they are in what
they like; but as soon as they are changed, something is wrong with the
system. There is nothing wrong with the system. We haven't reached it yet,
but we are well on our way to per&#6684773;ction, and I believe we will get there. I pray
we will go back to our fields of labor and, "Teach to observe all things what
soever the Lord hath .commanded us." Matthew 16:19. The Church of God has
been given the key. I believe the gospel of the Church of God will take you to
heaven if you follow it.
2:40 Prayer for Bible Training Institute throughout the world, led by the
General Overseer.

Financial Statement of the
White Wing Publishing House and Press
Our annual audit has been completed by the firm of Randolph and Kersey,

MINUTES OF THE 71ST ANNUAL ASSEMBLY 75
Certified Public Accountants, in Cleveland, Tennessee.
The success of the Publishing House this year, as in all previous years, is the
result of the cooperation of many members, pastors, overseers, general
workers, and &#6684777;nally the Publishing House employees. I personally am indeb
ted to all these people, particularly the Publishing House employees, who
have worked so conscientiously this year in behalf of promotion and printing
in the Church of God.
This year I think it appropriate to mention brie&#6684780;y the labors of past
Business Managers who have brought the Publishing House to where it is to
day. While reflecting on many past Business Managers' reports to the General
Assembly, I could sense at times the grave responsibility that these men had
&#6684773;lt to the Church of God. I am sure they have &#6684773;lt, as I do today, the tremen
dous unreached potential that is before us with the printed page. My heart
cries for God to give us wisdom and means by which to accelerate His message.
We must move swifter!
To this Assembly, may I mention a few other things brie&#6684780;y?
Equipment: In the press department, another new o&#6684774;set printing press has
been added. Also, a new electronic paper cutting machine has been installed
along with several smaller items of equipment. In bookkeeping, additional
computer equipment has been put into operation to help expedite Sunday
School literature and merchandise orders. At this point, I would like to men
tion the importance of early Sunday School literature ordering. We are just
not getting many Sunday School orders early enough to meet your delivery
requirements. We have no control over the postal system delivery time. You
must allow time for this service. Please order Sunday School literature earlier.
Accounts Receivable: We appreciate your charge order business. I really
mean this. However, we beg your understanding of our concern &#6684783;r the
Publishing House &#6684777;nance. At the annual audit, May 31, 1976, the accounts
receivable had reached nearly $80,000.00. Even though some of this is reflec
ted growth, it requires an ever increasing vigilance on our part to be good
stewards of Church of God monies, particularly in this amount. We are trying
to keep abreast of this. It necessitates constant account verification by letter
&#6684786;om the bookkeeping and Business Manager's o&#6684774;ices. If you do not pay, we
need to know what is wrong. Is that all right? Hopefully, you agree with me.
Merchandise: On tape we have several new items this year
New Testament on 8 tract tape
Basic Bible Beliefs on cassette tape
New books indude-
Upon This Rock, Volume III-by C. T. Davidson
Yet Not 1-L. S. Rhodes' General Assembly sermons edited by R L.
Black

76 MINUTES OF THE 71ST ANNUAL ASSEMBLY

Voice of Salvation, but in stock now at the Publishing House.

These Necessary Things

Operation in England: Also this year, we have made a &#6684789;rther commitment
to our printing needs outside the United States. Several new pieces of equip
ment have been purchased in England. We sincerely desire your prayers and
support in order to make this endeavor a success.
I wish to thank each one &#6684783;r your support of the publishing ministry in the
Church of God.

4:40 The House-to-House Revival Was a Blessing-Junior Fleming. Com
ments: I am convinced we are in the largest business on earth. It is the purest,
cleanest-nothing equal to it. Mainly the revival was a blessing because of
love and obedience. Jesus came into the world and carried the Gospel to the
people. When He started back to the Father, He left the entire ministry in
charge of the Church of God. Behold all souls are our responsibility. We do not
think it degrading to become servants and serve the Word of God to a lost
world. We have the commission, and we have the obligation to carry the Word
of God. Colossians 4:5. Hebrews 13:13. Ifye salute your brethren only, what do
ye more than others. We have a message, the power, and the permission. John
4:35. The &#6684777;nest crop ever produced is of no benefit to the owner as long as it
stands in the field. The gathering takes place in the &#6684777;eld. Are you interested in
keeping the souls we have? Are you interested in doing some harvesting? If you
are, raise your hands and let us pray together as Isaiah, "Here am I, send me."
(Prayer)
5:00 Song by Spiritual Rhythms, Birmingham, England.
5:10 The Blessing of the Emergency Fund-LaFoy Parker. Comments:
There is a blessing in giving and knowing that others have been blessed by
our giving. I was taught to give unto the Lord of whatever I had. You who paid
your emergency dollar this year helped a pastor who was laboring in a new
&#6684777;eld and was injured on the job, other dollars went to Indonesia for the &#6684769;mine
area; others went to Guatemala to assist those who were in the earthquake.
Let's continue to give and let not this zeal die. Let it increase until every mem
ber has given an emergency dollar that someone may be blessed.
5:24 Prayer; song by the Keith Street Singers.
5:30 Ye Which Are Spiritual-message by L.A. Fritts. Excerpts: Galatians
6:1. Spiritual doesn't mean the one who can jump the highest or shout the
loudest, but one who can bring a soul to God. A fault doesn't necessarily have
to be sin, but after awhiie that fault will overtake us and it will become a sin.
You will have to get down on your &#6684769;ce before God and get the answer. Souls
are precious. We need enough of the spirit of God to restore people. I am not

and help them to enjoy the blessings of God in their lives. Ezekiel 34:10-16.

have a great responsibility.
5:45 "Speak Words of Kindness"-song by Shirley Ball.
EVENING
5:53 Compassion-message by Wayne Allen. Prayer. Excerpts: Jesus was
our chief example of compassion. Matthew 9:36. Jesus was moved with com
passion: when He saw the widow's son on the way to the cemetery, He said,
"Rise," and He presented the son to his mother; He healed the blind man; He
fed the multitude. There are many people in need offeeding &#6684786;om the Word of
God. 1 Corinthians 12:24-27. We are members one of another, and we must
care &#6684783;r one another. True compassion is willing to suffer one with another.
Many members of the Body of Christ are away from God and su&#6684774;ering; we
must rescue them. "By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples if you
have love one &#6684783;r another." God instituted a plan in the wilderness that will be
a great blessing to the Church today when operated with the true spirit in
which it was recommended. Moses was· chosen by God. We think of the
Assembly Band Movement; and we &#6684777;nd in the Scripture that God began to
move in the proper channel so God's people could be cared &#6684783;r. Moses was do
ing his best to care &#6684783;r the people, but they were too great in number. Jethro
was observing the work of Moses, and God inspired him to advise Moses on a
program that would assist all Israel in having a greater understanding and
unity.
The one requirement of Moses was to teach the ordinances and laws and
show them the way they were to walk. The qualifications to be used when
choosing a leader were: to be able men. If God required that of leaders in the
wilderness, how much more today we need able workers; men who &#6684773;ared God.
Today people will fear what the neighbor would say more than they &#6684773;ar God.
Moses was to choose able men, those that fear God, and men of truth. This is
an entire body responsibility-not just the pastor's. The Church of God has
the plan today whereby We have spiritual leaders working with the pastors,
assisting in keeping the &#6684780;ock spiritual. Exodus 32:31-33. Job was another ex
ample. Job 29:15, 16. He was a man of compassion, concern, dedication; he
had su&#6684774;ered and had been tried; his neighbors made light remarks about him.
The devil thought he could make Job curse God. Job lost everything, but he
did not curse God. Job was dedicated fo the cause; he knew he had not sinned.
We need some spiritual seekers. There are people who have problems that
we don't know, but God knows; the Holy Ghost can show us if we will seek
Him. I believe compassionate band leaders will seek. We need help &#6684786;om God.
Ezekiel 3:17-19. Ezekiel was moved in behalf of the keeping program. Three
aspects of keeping program: If the wicked sin and you don't warn them, they
will die in their wickedness, but I will require their blood'at your hands. We
have a responsibility; we must preach salvation to the wicked; we must warn
those who have gone astray; we niust counsel and encourage. We have lost

MINUTES OF THE 71ST ANNUAL ASSEMBLY 85
some good men who from the outside looked like they were doing good. Band
leaders, you have a responsibility, and to think you can be eyes to the blind,
you can be feet to the lame, you can be a &#6684769;ther to the poor. I am talking about
pastors and band leaders after God's own heart. When we have compassion, I
believe we will have an internal revival. We need outside and internal revival.
If a great percentage of our membership are backsliders, why should God give
us new people? An internal revival will help us rescue the lost sheep in the
Church of God. God wants to bless the Church of God. He is going to, and I
want to be right in the middle of it.

Family.
7:04 I Directed a Bicentennial Outreach-Ellsworth Van Deventer. Com
ments: The General Overseer asked me if I would work in this Bicentennial
Event as a pilot project with the Evangelism class at Tomlinson College. I was
delighted because I believe it is time for God's Church to reach out into the
world. This is a people program, and we need to go where people are. This was
a challenge to me and to the Evangelism class. I contacted the State Overseer
for a target city, and Sweetwater, Tennessee, was chosen since we have no
church there. We began Sunday, March 1, and worked the remaining Sundays
in the month. We chose times of fasting and prayer. Our training classes were:
How to Conduct a Religious Census; How to Win a Soul to Christ (not just the
Church); What to Do in the Follow-Up. Follow-up seems to be the weakest
link in our Church program. We introduced ourselves to the city officials; we
met the news media and let the people in town know the days we were going to
take the census. Each worker wore a name card. Each team was assigned a
captain and an area of the city to cover. Day of Attack-March 14, we had
brunch and prayer; went in a caravan to Sweetwater. The General Overseer
knocked on doors just like the other workers. Our command post was the Chief
of Police office. If anybody was in trouble, they called the command post. We
returned to our base, and evaluated what we did: the best prospects, those
who wanted prayer meetings and Bible studies. Several young couples went in
teams to the most likely contacts. We had Bible studies and prayer meetings.
People Were saved; people studied the Word. A mission is still being operated
there. We trans&#6684773;rred our operation into the hands of the district overseer and

those staying for whatever &#6684783;llow-up such as a crusade or setting up a mission.
7:15 Steve Jordan told of helping in the Outreach: Today millicns are
questioning what life is all about. Does the Church have the answer? Christ is
the answer. The responsibility to show the lost the way has been given to us by
our Lord in Mark 16:15. To reach out is the work; it is the mission; it is the
responsibility of the Church, but &#6684783;llow-up is as important as going. Christ
said to go; He also said to baptize and to teach. I was privileged to work in
Sweetwater, and the need &#6684783;r laborers in this great harvest &#6684777;eld is so great.
Time is running out. Can we get together and fulfill the commission to go ye to
preach to and reach the world?
7:23 They Ceased Not to Teach and Preach Jesus Christ-message by Eva
Gilmore. Excerpts: Daily in the temple and in every house they ceased not to
teach and to preach. No way can a human be saved other than through the
name Jesus. Are we trying to lift ourselves up instead of the name of Jesus?
You can,do nothing without Jesus. The angel of the Lord opened the prison
doors. They ceased not, they didn't compromise. When you got the Holy
Ghost, you got all the power you will ever need. The Bible said He will lead,
guide and teach you. They went from house to house even though they knew
their lives were at stake. They went back to the temple and taught and
preached the Word of God. They preached the Word in season and out of
season. Preach it when they want to hear you, and preach it when they don't.
God confirmed what they were saying. They had the backing because Jesus
told Peter, "The gates of hell shall not prevail against it."
The high priest thought he had authority to do what he wanted. They didn't
know they had a man who had more authority than they ever had. God could
have spellbound those people. He could have shut their mouths, but He said,
"I told you to preach." It is time to preach. God told us to preach the Word.
Peter and John, just because they were in trouble, didn't stop. The Lord told
me, "If I am for you, who can be against you?" As long as I know I have the
Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost working with me, I have you whipped
every time. I know who is with me. I am not preparing for dying; I am prepar
ing for living. If you are preparing to die, you are already whipped. One day I
am going to sleep and God is not going to have trouble waking me up, just
touch me. He said, that the same spirit that quickened His mortal body shall
bring me out of the ground. Acts 5:41 (Great rejoicing; all thanked the Lord for
His presence.)

MINUTES OF THE 71ST ANNUAL ASSEMBLY 87
Spirit is at work. We walked with Jesus through the Gospels. We walked with
this miracle worker through Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. In the Gospels,
we walked with Him as He restores sight to the blind, as He heals those
withered limbs; as He causes the lame to walk. In the Gospels, we see maniacs
cured, lepers cleansed and the dead raised. Thomas Je&#6684774;erson was thirty-three
years old when he gave to us the masterpiece of Declaration of Independence. I
know another Man who was about thirty-three years of age when He wrote
with His precious blood the greatest declaration of &#6684786;eedom that history has
ever known. There is still power in the name of Jesus Christ. The Bible is first
and foremost a book to be believed. Joshua 31:1. Israel became satisfied with
too little. It was God's intention that they &#6684789;lly possess Canaan land which
flowed with milk and honey. He had already told Joshua that everywhere the
sole of your feet shall tread upon is yours.
Church of God folk, we have been blessed, but we have been satisfied with
too little. We are living beneath our privileges. The Children oflsrael failed to
possess what was rightfully theirs. Let us possess our God-given authority over
sickness and satanic oppression. Luke 10:19. Through Jesus Christ, we have
power over the devil. I don't believe sickness is of God, because He sent His
Son to die on the cross to provide a remedy for sickness and sins. I don't want
us to limit God. Luke 5:17. The power of the Lord was present to heal them
and my Jesus has not changed. Release your faith. The Son of righteousness
with healing in His wings is sweeping through here tonight. "But this kind
goeth not out but by prayer and fasting." Some have fasted; let's pray again.
In the name of Jesus they lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover. With
His stripes we are healed. Believe the Lord.
8:42 Stan Wright led congregation in singing; Jill Gibson, organist. Lines
were formed to pray for the sick. Music by Bahamas Band as 2,502 were
anointed and prayed for; the National Evangelists prayed over and anointed
approximately 12,000 cloths which were distributed to the congregation by

9:28 Building According to the Pattern-message by John M. Sands. Ex
cerpts: Nobody knows the fulness of the Church of God like God knows. We
are probing to le&#7471311; more of the will of God concerning the Church. John 17:8;
John 12:49, 50. The whole thing is divine. Those who &#6684777;nd it difficult to con
form to the Word of God are in trouble. Not one of the regulations are grievous
if the heart is right. Jesus did not lie when He said, "My yoke is easy;" the
Word of God is our patte&#7471214; and when we came into the Church we promised to
accept this Bible as the Word of God, our rule of &#6684769;ith, practice, government
and discipline and to walk in the light to the best of our ability. When we do
this, we can teach others to observe all things that the Lord had commanded
us. Our teaching will be more effective when we stick to the pattern.
The world has heard a great deal; it is time for them to see living patterns of
the Word of God. He was instructed to see that you make all things according
to what Jesus said, "Teaching them to observe all things." Many precious
folks are coming this way because they are tired of being where only some
things are taught. Who else is teaching all things? To whom did Jesus give the
all-things pattern? Father, what you gave me, I have given them and they
have accepted it." Exodus 25:27. In this dispensation all of us are to be holy,
but the ministers are expected to be examples of holiness. Teachers ought to
practice what they preach ..
Holiness is more than a talk. Aaron was called of God. Did God call you into
the ministry? If God didn't call you, you had better get out. It looks
glamorous, and a person could call himself. This is a great responsibility, and
we cannot afford to be disobedient, arrogant nor walk in pride. Amos 7:14.
Every member must put on garments of holiness that we might present every
member perfect in Christ Jesus. This spirit of love that permeates the Church
of God saturates your soul. God had something to say about the pattern of the
tabernacle which He gave to Moses. Moses had to be reminded to stick to the
pattern. Just as forces in those days were working to divert them &#6684786;om the
divine pattern, so the wiles of Satan are still determined to make us deviate.
Thanks to God and the General Assemblies-of the Church of God-in the mul
titude of counsellors there is safety. Everything that the pattern calls for is
tremendously important. John 13:14. To obey is better than all the explana
tions we can give for not obeying.
Jesus was truthful. It was according to the pattern, and Peter said that no
guile was &#6684783;und in His mouth. I believe we have people interested in speaking
the truth and not getting so close to the borderline. When Jesus was in
terrogated by the best of investigators, they had to testify they &#6684783;und no fault
in the man. Everything of Him spoke of the will of His Father and holiness.
Building according to the pattern is our safety. All other ground is sinking
sand.
10:00 White Wing Publishing House Program, directed by Henry O'Neal,
Business Manager. Brother O'Neal commented that printing is one of the
most powerful elements. in communications that has ever been developed. It is
one of our most capable sources of extending the Church of God message
around the world.

10:40 " ... We are not children of the bondwoman, but of the free" (Gala
tians 4:31)-message by Eugene Weakley. Excerpts: Galatians 4:22, 23. Paul
relates that there is a natural birth that is of the will of man. John 1:13. John
3:6. Not long in life we realize we are born in bondage. Psalm 51:5. Romans
3:9, 13. Job 15:16. Ishmael is our type of the natural, a wild man, but Jesus
said, "If the Son there&#6684783;re sets you free, you shall be &#6684786;ee indeed." Galatians
4:24, 25. We are bo&#7471214; in bondage, but there is a master plan whereby men and
women can be set &#6684786;ee. The Law was holy but man was in a natural state try
ing to carry out the commandments. Jesus came on the scene and made pro
visions for our liberation.
Just as people are born of flesh and blood, there is a spiritual birth. Jesus
said, "Ye must be born again." There is an atonement by the precious blood of
the Lamb. Being justi&#6684777;ed through His blood, we have the forgiveness of sin.
This comes through repentance and faith. The devil doesn't care too much
what you preach until you get on sancti&#6684777;cation. Galatians 4:23, 28, 29.
Romans 9:21, 24. Christ meant &#6684783;r us to serve Him all the days of our lives in
righteousness and holiness. Sanctification must come before the Holy Ghost.
The Church has set the pace. Other groups try to minimize it, but we hold on
to sanctification. A lot of people say when they get the Holy Ghost, they have
reached their zenith. The Holy Ghost is given to go on to perfection. Galatians
5:1. I am not preaching we don't have our human nature. I am preaching that
the old man of sin can be destroyed through sancti&#6684777;cation. 2 Corinthians 7:1.
We need a show of Jesus Christ working in our midst. Our precious people liv
ing holy lives is evidence that we have contended for sanctification, and I
believe that the reason the Holy Ghost is falling like it is, is because the
Church of God has stood fast in the liberty. Real government does . not
bind you, it liberates you.

11:35 The Printing Challenge We Face in the Church of God-by Felix Gar
cia. Comments: God knew the value of the written Word. For many days, God

had been talking to Moses. God knew that man could &#6684783;rget, and He wrote
with His &#6684777;nger what He intended &#6684783;r man to &#6684789;l&#6684777;ll, and He gave it to Moses in
stone. If it were not &#6684783;r the Assembly Minutes, we would &#6684783;rget what is
preached in the General Assemblies. I see the Church ready to conquer the
world, but we must have the Word printed in their languages. We are in
terested in getting the message to the people so they can practice what the
Church teaches. This is God's Church-a Church &#6684783;r all the world.
The Missions Department is striving to conquer countries; and by the grace
of God we are conquering a language &#6684783;r God. We are gojng to need more in our
budget if we take these giant steps &#6684783;r God. I believe we have youth in our
church with the Spirit of Progress to go out and work &#6684783;r God. I &#6684773;el we have
pastors and leaders who have this vision to reach the world. We must take it to
the world by writing so they cannot &#6684783;rget it. I see the language department
and the publishing division of the Church as tools absolutely necessary for the
conquering of the work &#6684783;r the Church of God. Pray &#6684783;r us in this work. We
desperately want to provide the world with their literature.

1:19 Words of Wisdom &#6684783;r a Whole New World-Larry Biggers. Excerpts:
John 8:31, 32. The Church of God-its salvation is God's Word rightly
divided. When Columbus set sail &#6684783;r a new world, people thought he was
crazy. When everybody else turned against him, he cried the louder, "Sail on,
Sail on," there is a new world out there. We must beware how our sails are set
and our foundation must be firm and steady upon God's eternal Word. That
world is there if you are willing to challenge life. I saw a new world as I read
about Stephen looking up and seeing the heavens open and the Son of God on
the right hand of God. I caught a glimpse of the new world in Revelations 21 :2.
2 Corinthians 5:17.
That day when Jesus Christ saved my soul all things became new: new
world of spiritual adventure and advancement. God's Word contains the in
structions, directions, the precautions, the joys and the promises of a new
world. There is going to be a mighty move of dedication to God's Word. Many
will try to redirect the course of the Church of God, but Christ promised in His
Word that the gates of hell shall not prevail against His Church. When you
become obedient to God's Word, you can know you are a chosen generation, a
royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people. Dedicate your life to God,
imagine God's Word is in your hand, lay hold on eternal life!

1:34 Words of Wisdom for a Whole New World-by Gleaner Advisor,
Adrian Varlack, Jr. Excerpts: Paul did his best to make the Church grow. The
Church is one body-all colors are one body. We fight &#6684783;r the Church because
we want more souls to be in the Church so they can have &#6684786;eedom. George
Washington, Abraham Lincoln, and Grant fought because they wanted a na
tion where they could serve God. We want more Victory Leaders in the
Church; we want some in other lands-USSR, Greenland-the nations we
have not reached. Christ is the head of the Church. This is God's house and we
worship Him. Jesus died on the cross to save man. If Jesus had not died, we
wouldn't be here, because it was Jesus' blood that made us healthy. Jesus was
resurrected so we can be healthy. (Brother Varlack prayed.)
1:40 Solo by Linda Mahan; concert prayer led by State&#3080270;ational
Secretaries.
1:49 A Whole New World-message by Terry Mahan. Excerpts: Genesis
1:1-3. God created a beautiful world out of total darkness. If we open our
spiritual eyes, we can see God's hand prints on a whole new world. The Church
is at a major turning point. There is a cry: in your local community, across the
sea in Africa, India, Asia, South America, all around the world. The cry is
coming &#6684786;om the rich, the poor, the black, the white, the red, the brown, doc
tors, lawyers, the blind and deaf. There is a cry for somebody to bring the
truth that the truth might set them &#6684786;ee.
God is opening up so many opportunities. Let's not sleep through the battle.
When has any door been closed to God and to His Church? Since when has
God quit working miracles when we step out by faith? Some of our churches
are so full of laborers that the pastor has to add a new job just to give them
something to do, while in other parts, others are crying in agony, "Send me
laborers." Are you willing to say, "God, wherever you want me to go"? We
have work to do. A race to run. You are invited to run in a race to a whole new
world, to appear in a stadium of life, and that invitation has been signed by
the blood of Jesus Christ. There is a huge crowd, and in Hebrews 11, they call
this group a cloud of witnesses. They are not spectators. In that crowd, you
will see Noah. He built a boat because God told him to, even though
everybody laughed at him. There is Abraham who left by faith to go to a land
that he had never seen before. On the other side, you will see Peter and Paul,
Luther, A. J. Tomlinson, J.B. Wright, your grandfather, your grandmother,
and perhaps your mother and father. Sometimes, we get upset if we are the
only young person at our church. We don't have time to cry, we must run. You
may not be running with another young person; you may be running with one
of our senior members, but we need to run arm in arm holding up the Church,
the Word of God. God is forming opportunities that the Church has never ex
perienced before. (Young people stood and joined in prayer that God would
help them run the race. Brother Mahan urged all Victory Leaders to accept
any challenge God puts upon their hearts.)

92 MINUTES OF THE 71ST ANNUAL ASSEMBLY
2:21 On Target-A Whole New World-Ken Baker. (Regina Filer did
message in sign language-a needed ministry.) Excerpts: The Apostle Paul
talked about this race, ones in the Bible talked about it, Brothers Tomlinson
and Mahan talked about this race. I think of Jesus Christ when He called unto
Him whom He would and went into the &#3014772;op of the mountain. He sent them out
and told them to preach this gospel &#3014772;o every individual. Talking about run
ning, I &#3014772;hought about a river. The gospel seems to be &#6684780;owing all over the world
today but most rivers &#6684783;llow the path of least resistance. If we are not careful,
we will let language barriers become a stumbling block and we will tum
around them. We were given &#3014772;he commission to the deaf people, and &#3014772;o the
blind, just as we were white and Anglo-Saxons, that we would present every
man perfect in Christ Jesus. Another ministry is going to prisons. Some of our
greatest works in the New Testament were written &#6684786;om prisons and there are
men and women just as capable of doing the Lord's work in prison if we can
reach them. I leave you with a challenge-that great torch, the eternal &#6684780;ame
of God's program is beginning to pass on to &#3014772;his generation. You can run with
it, or you can follow the course of least resistance.

3:12 It's Hard to Be a Saint-David Riggs. Comments: A young boy read a
biography of Simon Stylance, who tried to be a saint by perching atop a pillar
and staying for 35-40 years. Food was passed up to him on a long stick, and
history recorded him as a saint. The little boy decided he would try to be a
saint in the same way. He perched on top of the kitchen stove, but at supper
time his mother had him to get off. In his bedroom, he wrote in his diary, "I
have found it is extremely di&#6684774;icult to be a saint while living with your family."
You have been challenged to go into a whole new world, but I believe you are
going to have to lea&#7471214; to live in the one that God has given us before we can
conquer the new world.
The home is God's proving ground for that new world. God instituted the
home. Young people, the Lord's &#6684777;rst command is to go home and show your
testimony, and then go into the world. If you cannot get along with those at
home, how do you expect to get along in this world of sinners who need God?
The Bible says the town had turned the man away, but he went home and
began to declare, "Thus saith the Lord, this is what the Lord has done for

MINUTES OF THE 71ST ANNUAL ASSEMBLY 93
me.'' When Jesus came back to town, He was received gladly because the man
was a witness to his household. If you are not a Christian at home, you are not
a Christian.

3:21 Tomlinson College Program, directed by Harry Lee Moore. Theme:
Scholarship With Spirit. Prayer led by Brother Moore. Singing directed by
Jim Whittaker as present and &#6684783;rmer students marched in. Two musical
selections by TC Band. Prayer led by Jim Garner. Introduction of f�culty and
sta&#6684774; by H. L. Moore.
3:51 My Vision of Our Church College and Your Children Who Are
Students-Jackie Moore, Instructor. Comments: I love young people and es
pecially our church young people. My philosophy is when a child reaches 18
years of age, you as a parent have done as much teaching and training as you
are going to. It is time for that child to start on his own. That does not mean he
does not need you anymore. He needs you &#6684783;r guidance, to weigh his ideas, o
pinions and decisions. TC is a nice place to send young people. The instructors
and the majority of the students are filled with the Holy Ghost. A freshman
coming in sometimes needs a substitute mother or father for a few months.
Who could be better than Holy Ghost filled individuals? When they come to
TC and &#6684777;nd most of the students have the same type of background, parents,
and local church, they feel at home. They fit in. Children are an heritage of the
Lord. It disturbs me when I realize how little time our minister fathers spend
with their children. Some say they have to devote their full time to church
work, and they have to answer to the State and General Overseer. This is true,

MINUTES OF THE 71ST ANNUAL ASSEMBLY 95
but they are going to answer to God at the Judgment for their children. The
&#6684769;ther buys his son a &#6684777;shing rod and never takes him &#6684777;shing; buys him a rifle
and never takes him hunting; buys him a &#6684783;otball and equipment and never
attends one of his games; he buys him a horn and never attends one of his con
certs; buys him a basketball and never attends a game. They need your un
divided time; your genuine love. They need you to really listen with your ears,
eyes, and your heart. They are trying to tell you something. Listen to their
ideas and opinions. They too can think. You might learn something from
them. No matter how old that child is or where he may be, show him that you
made mistakes and ask his forgiveness. Parents are human too. It is no sin to
admit making mistakes. It is a virtue. We at TC do not have all the answers,
but we are still searching, seeking and by the grace and help of God, we too are
learning daily.
3:54 Education in a Christian Environment-speech by Patricia Minter,
instructor of Biology: Sometimes I feel our young people would like to get out
of certain environments. We cannot have much control over the heredity
part-the adamic nature. Some children appear to have inherited more than
others. Immediately environment plays its part. Most parents have read
enough Scripture and books to know something about the ingredients
necessary &#6684783;r growth, but I will mention two extreme attitudes. One extreme
let's keep an attitude of detached, cool, aloofness toward the young. Let them
sow their wild oats. Allow them to try all the things you missed growing up.
Try to serve them happiness on a silver platter by allowing participation in the
worldly events. Maybe when they get older they will decide to live &#6684783;r God.
The opposite extreme is-mother the young with protection. Keep them tied
to the apron strings. Put blinders on their eyes making them feel the devil is
going to grab them if you don't personally shield and protect them. I &#6684773;el we
must find a middle ground, and provide our young with an atmosphere where
they can grow up without extreme. Some will live &#6684783;r God in spite of either ex
treme. Proverbs 22:6.
Environmentalists tell us we are living too high; and if we don't educate our
selves on how to conserve, our natural resources will run out. We don't want to
run out of our valuable resources; we don't want to run out of our valuable
resources in the Church. Our young are our valuable resources. In the Church
we want to train them in the way they should go.
Brother Moore commented about Tomlinson College credits being
transferrable. The current catalog lists 200 colleges and universities where
transcripts have been accepted.
4:06 How I Feel About Tomlinson College-&#5374063;n Scotton, &#6684783;rmer student.
He expressed appreciation of attending TC and that it gave him a strong
Church background. Two songs by TC Chorale, directed by Phil Barker.
4:21 Awake, 0 Sleepy Giant-message by James Stone. Excerpts: 1
Corinthians 13:9-12. Hebrews 8:1-5. Moses, in building the earthly tabernacle,

96 MINUTES OF THE 71ST ANNUAL ASSEMBLY
was instructed to build by the pattern. In the center of the tabernacle was the
Holy of Holies. It was the most sacred place in all of Israel. It represented the
dwelling place of God upon earth. The Holy of Holies was so sacred it was &#6684783;r
bidden for anyone to enter at the penalty of death. The High Priest was the ex
ception, but he could enter only &#6684783;r a short period of time, and then only after
a special sacrifice was o&#6684774;ered to make him worthy of entering the earthly-type
dwelling place of God upon this earth. When the high priest entered, he went
out of sight of the people, and they anxiously awaited his return. Not until
they saw the high priest through the veil coming back did they know the
sacrifice had been accepted.
This is the earthly tabernacle of the heavenly reality or pattern. Hebrews
8:1. Our High Priest, Jesus Christ, o&#6684774;ered a perfect sacrifice-Himself. He is
now making intercession for everyone. In a sense, the new Israel-the Church
of God-has been anxiously awaiting almost two thousand years to see if the
sacrifice will be accepted. When Jesus Christ splits the easte&#7471214; sky we will
know in reality. 1 Corinthians 13:12. The doctrine of the Church of God is a
giant among man's puny understanding. The theocracy of the Church of God
is a giant among man's &#6684780;imsy, political shennanigans, but we need this giant
to come alive. "Lo I am with you alway even unto the end of the world." Jesus
Christ is the life of the Church. That is the reason I cry, "Arouse thyself 0
Zion. Stir thyself, 0 Church of God."
One of the greatest needs of the hour is to train our people how to yield to
the Holy Ghost and the ministry of the Spirit, which provides the total struc
ture of the spirit-filled Church. To get the work done, we need nothing more
than the full restoration of the gifts to the Church. Tomlinson College plays
the same part as all the other auxiliaries and helps in the Church. We all
believe there is anointing that goes with every of&#6684777;ce in the Church of God.
There are auxiliaries and helps, but they are nothing without people. When a
person is appointed to an o&#6684774;ice in the government of the Church, the
anointing is there to help you do your job. There are various callings of the
ministry and services in the Church of God. I believe there are God-called
ABM leaders, Gleaner leaders, evangelists, pastors, state secretaries, general
secretaries, state overseers. I know of only one God-called man to be the
General Overseer of the Church of God. When God gets ready and we let him
manipulate us and Theocracy works in its purest, the Church of God will be
like a jigsaw puzzle-the pieces will begin to fall into place. God's power will
sweep throughout the Church and the giant will come alive. That is the reason
I cry, "Awake O sleepy giant." There is victory out there. Paul tells us that
just as life is opposite to death, the Spirit is opposite to flesh. Awake and
crucify the practices of the flesh. The Church will be a glorious, victorious,
triumphant Church. She will be the center of the spiritual universe; she will
be the Bride of Christ.
5:05 Closing Comments by President H. L. Moore. Our church in Greer,
South Carolina, donated $250 &#6684783;r microscopes.

5:06 "When he the spirit of truth is come, he will guide you into all truth"
message by Willie Boone. Excerpts: God wants to get us together. I don't
worry too much about the people in other organizations because they are going
to come. I am interested in being ready when the other sheep come. John 16:13
and 8. The leading of the Spirit is related to the work of the Church. It is going
to bring the Church to perfection. The Holy Ghost is to let all know and be
brought into focus of the knowledge of the true Son of God.
No other organization can do the Church's work. We have got to make them
understand what is the fellowship of the mystery. I am so glad that Jesus sent
His Spirit, not to the other organizations, but to the Body of Christ. There is
healing in the Church, but we don't put all emphasis on healing, nor
predicting what is going to take place, but we take the whole Bible rightly
divided. Other organizations cannot hold the other sheep back. All we have to
do is to get the Church ready so when they come, we have a place for them.
Church of God, use what you have. You have advice to members, the 29
teachings-use them. We have a powerful God. It reminds me of Noah. God
told Noah to build an ark. Noah didn't complain. God gave him the pattern.
Noah preached 120 years. He preached repentance. They didn't believe Noah,
but he built the ark. Do you believe we are building the ark? Do you believe we
are building the Church of God? I don't know how big the Church of God is.
The ark had a pattern. One place had to be 30 cubits, but God looked at it and
said, take one out. Twenty-nine teachings are all you need. Some people don't
obey the Ten Commandments.
The Church of God has a plan-that plan is to reach perfection. She is going
to reach it when the Spirit of truth is come. We have got to preach the Word.
When Jesus called His disciples into the mountain, He ordained twelve that
He might send them forth to preach the Word of God, and He organized His

98 MINUTES OF THE 71ST ANNUAL ASSEMBLY
Church and told us to go into all the world. The Church is getting right &#6684783;r the
mighty outpouring of the Holy Ghost. The Church is getting right to leave this
world. We don't know how much longer we are going to be here. I look around
and see them coming from afar; when the Spirit hits them they are coming
home. Noah didn't worry about them. He built the ark and when the Spirit hit
them, the animals came into the ark. The in&#6684780;ow is going to come. We get our
selves ready, and we are going to take a &#6684780;ight. All at once the Church is going
to reach the fulness of perfection. The Church is going to be taken away from
this earth. When I look around in this auditorium, I see nothing but the Spirit
of love, the Spirit of the Church of God. When the Spirit of truth is come, He
will guide us. We will make mistakes, but the Spirit is going to help us correct
those.

music by Mikey Jones and helpers.

Brother Barker boosted Gospel Music Camp and encouraged all in the Church
interested in writing gospel music to do so. A musical featuring instrumentals;
singing by Bill Hu&#6684774;man and West Greenville Youth Choir; Voice of Salvation
Singers and narration by Joe Bathe.
6:45 WORLD MISSION PROGRAM directed by Adrian L. Varlack.
Theme: "Lift up your eyes and look on the &#6684777;eld." Romans 13:1-7 read by
Janice Varlack; prayer for missions by Kenneth C. Nyamhuka, Rhodesia.
6:45 Mission Representatives review their work: Asia, Africa and
Australia-Roy D. Mixon of Egypt: It was my privilege to establish the
Church of God in Rhodesia. I visualize a great growth there. One of the
greatest highlights of my year was to go to Moscow, Russia and stay &#6684783;ur days.
I was privileged to speak to more than 7,000 people attending the services, and
they responded with great warmth and tears of joy. The Russian people
treated me very gracefully. Toured some churches in India with Overseer, D.
Joseph. My visits this year have been the most fruitful and rewarding year of
my ministry. God has given me over 300 souls, and let me add 142 inembers to
the Church of God.
In the fulness of time, the Saviour of the world came and from that day
forward God distinguished between the Jews and the Gentiles. It is the mis
sion of the Church to reach the saved and the unsaved and gather all of God's
children into one fold; even though we speak different languages, we can all
speak the one pure language of the Church-walking by the same rule and
minding the same thing, seeing eye to eye concerning the doctrine and govern
ment of the Church. It is amazing how we are able to communicate by the
selfsame spirit of the Church so that we understand each other through our

MINUTES OF THE 71ST ANNUAL ASSEMBLY &#3735609;
hearts and become as one big heart throughout this whole world. Revelations
22:17. (introduced overseer of Nigeria, P. A. Okoligwe, and he greeted the
Assembly.)
Caribbean Islands Representative-Alvin S. Moss. The Almighty God has
been extremely good to us; enabled us to conduct 13 national conventions in
this area, 5 Bible Training Institutes; a number of youth camps and Vacation
Bible Schools; we have around 559 churches, 712 ministers. Some of the work
done by the ministers: Sermons-34,714; Saved-4,397; Sanctified-1,969;
Baptized in water-3,321; Baptized with the Holy Ghost-797; Added to the
Church-1,897. I kept my duties related to the Caribbean o&#6684774;ice in Nassau,
Bahamas, while supervising the work in Jamaica. God is the author of
languages, and just like He is the author of languages, at the tower of Babel He
confounded the language of the people and they were all scattered. As quickly
as that, He can cause something to happen that the language will be tran
sisted again. Changed-this is going to happen when the trumpet sounds and
when the dead in Christ be raised, when the saints of God shall come from the
grave. In the twinkling of an eye, the Church of God will all speak. That is the
reason Paul said, See that you all speak the same thing, mind the same thing.
There is one password-Alleluia. That is the keyword for the Church of God.
In all languages it is the same. It is gratifying and rewarding to work with
these people.
Europe-C. C. Shiakallis. The continent of Europe is truly a mission &#6684777;eld.
After the Assembly last year, I went to Italy and took part in the Full Gospel
Businessmen's Conference. It was a thrilling experience to go around the
streets of Rome distributing tracts and witnessing to the people. Rome is the
capital of Italy, and the Romans ruled the world when Jesus was born.
Romans crucified Jesus. Many of them believed in the Lord, and the early
Church was under the Romans. The Lord has put a great burden on me &#6684783;r
Italy. In Athens, we are in the process of purchasing a national headquarters
building. When I came for the General Headquarters meeting, I visited some
Greeks in Canton, Ohio. I met an attorney who had accepted the Lord and has
been baptized with the Holy Ghost. There were about seventy people then
who had received this experience. A few days ago I visited again, and they
have 136. I got them in touch with our pastors in Canton and Brecksville.
Brother Garcia and I visited Portugal and the Lord helped us to get a work
started there. This is a new nation. They are the &#6684783;refathers of millions living
in Latin America. We went to Spain, and the Lord helped us and opened
doors. Later a team from Headquarters went there, and they had a wonderful
time. We need to pray about Holland. We have a wonderful group of people
there. The Dutch people are very hospitable. I attended conventions in
Greece, Cyprus, Germany, England, Egypt, and Sierra Leone.
Mexico and Central and • South -A�erica-Raul Torres. -It -has been an
exciting and challenging year. There is a mighty move of God sweeping
throughout our churches. Many of our people have had the thrilling ex
perience of seeing the words of the Prophet Jeremiah being ful&#6684777;lled, "They
shall ask their way to Zion." People are being moved by the Spirit of God.
Many who have come to the Church have had to pay a precious price. Persecu-

100 MINUTES OF THE 71ST ANNUAL ASSEMBLY
tion got the early Church moving. Many of our ministers are moving up to the
system and operation of the Church. It is thrilling to me to see the Church
begin to get that same mind, that same spirit it will take to finish the work.
The ministry and laity have been able to comprehend the beauty of
Theocratic government. Jesus said, "Teaching them to observe all things,"
and I believe the Church is striving to do her best to perform this task.
In many Latin American countries, the Government is placing great
emphasis on education. The world has recognized the importance of having a
higher standard of living. This is not new to the religious world &#6684783;r Jesus said,
"If the blind lead the blind, both shall &#6684769;ll in the ditch." God has blessed the
Church in Latin America because of the wonderful love by our people
throughout the Church and in giving financially to the cause of missions. We
have been able to purchase mission homes in several of our Latin Countries.
Congratulations to our national overseers of Latin America for their out
standing World Mission o&#6684774;erings this past year. Unity of purpose-that is one
of the Church's goals. Keep up the good work. (He requested Joreg Marrero,
the Overseer of Nicaragua to speak briefly.)
PARADE OF NATIONS-Bahama Brass Band played as a young lady
dressed as a bride and carrying the Church Flag, came to the platform. Young
ladies marched down aisles, each with a flag of a nation where the Church is
established. Jordan, Portugal and Rhodesia are new this year.

8:25 Tools of the Harvest-message by Adrian Varlack, interpreted in
Spanish by Felix Garcia. Excerpts: The Word of God is powerful, and this is
the heart of the Church. John 4:35. Jesus emphasized to the disciples, "Lift up
your eyes." The &#6684777;elds seem to be typical of the Nations-God's people being
the wheat that should be gathered into the garner.
Can every minister say, "My Father's work is what re&#6684786;eshes me"? A Jew
was sitting on Jacob's well drinking water out of a Samaritan bucket. That
had never happened before, but Jesus sat on the well and said, "Give me
something to drink." It was clearly established that there would be a harvest
of all nations and the Church must reap that harvest. The commission Jesus
gave to the Church is not an impossible task. The commission says, "Go ye
therefore and teach. all nations." There are no implications of similarities
among the nations, but there is an emphasis on differences-races, cultures,
governments; economic systems. They are there because these are tools of
God's harvest. Romans 13:3. Help us to understand, Lord, how to drive these

MINUTES OF THE 71ST ANNUAL ASSEMBLY 101
vehicles for this is the machinery that God called us out from in order to make
us a peculiar people who could handle these things to finish His purpose. The
Early Church was organized, and it thrived on the convergency of three
civilizations: Hebrews, Greeks, and Romans. Jewish monotheism provided
the seed bed for the Gospel. Greek culture and philosophy became the
medium of communicating the message of the gospel. Roman policy provided
an umbrella of stability so that the Church could go into every country in that
world and promulgate its message.
When the Church was rejected by a city or nation, it was not a time of
defeat, but an opportunity to go to others. The world will not change to
facilitate the Church. Germans will always be Germans; English will always
be English, but the Church must go to every country, to every race and every
nation, every culture and learn their ways in order that we could preach the
message to those of the harvest. We say, "Lord, when are we ever going to
print in 3,000 languages?" It is not a matter of when we are going to finish, but
when are we going to begin? We are going to learn how to get on our knees
before God. The Bible tells us that the Church agreed. The problem of Jew
and Gentile was a thorn in the &#6684780;esh of the Church, but when the matter came
before headquarters, they gave to Paul the right hand of fellowship. They were
partners-Peter with the commission for the circumcision and Paul with the
commission for the nation in the same company. We might say in political
terms they agreed to segregate. Circumcision was a vehicle for the Church,
and Peter was the most qualified man to drive that. Uncircumcision was
another vehicle for the Church to ride. Paul was the most qualified minister to
drive that, but they were going to the same end. As long as they were talking
about methods, it was all right for Peter to go to Jews and Paul to the Gentiles,
but when the vehicle came to the end, they had to be abandoned. There is
neither Jew, nor Greek, nor bond, nor free, nor male, nor female, &#6684783;r we are all
one in Christ Jesus.

10:05 Mission Bells Ring &#6684783;r Service-Joy Belt. Excerpts: I thank the Lord
that many years ago I heard the mission bells ringing for service. Some people
think it is a hardship, but I count it a great privilege to work &#6684783;r the Master
the creator of all things-the God of the universe. The Church of God has a
great commission to reach the ends of the earth with God's Word. There is so
much to tell about God's great plan and God's great Church. Yes God's
Church is going through, but we might not be a part of that Church ifwe don't
wake up and do the work that God has given us to do. Church of God people
love the Church, but we have got to have it within us-power and motivation
to stir ourselves to work &#6684783;r God. We need total commitment to God. We are
not our own, but we are bought with a price. We need to forget our houses and
lands; our personal ambitions. Brother, we are passing by a dying world, and
we need to realize that they need us to get involved. God requires top priority.
John 12:24. If you don't have any &#6684786;uit, you have never died, because He said
you would bring forth &#6684786;uit if you die. Lord, help us to realize that we too can
hear the mission bells ring &#6684783;r service.

Retreat is; Pat Vaughn testi&#6684777;ed of attending a Ladies &#5374053;treat at Lake

Junaluska, NC. God answered prayer, and she received deep spiritual bless
ings. Testimony by Lydia Santiago, wife of Overseer of Dominican Republic;
interpreted by Naomi Gandia. Sister Santiago told of God's blessings as they
serve Him in the Dominican Republic.
10:34 Mission Bells &#6684783;r Giving-Gerdia Shewmaker: We hear many bells
ringing throughout our land. When we hear a missionary giving a plea &#6684783;r some
great need, this is God ringing a mission bell in our hearts. Aren't you glad
God has prospered you that you can give when you hear the mission bells peal
ing in your local church? 1 John 3:17; 1 Timothy 6:17, 19. The 17th Chapter of
1 Kings is a great example of a widow woman who heard the mission bells ring
ing and she responded. Verses 3 and 4. It doesn't matter how small you may
feel that your giving is, God has the record, and He is going to sustain you. I
am going to give according to my income lest my income become according to
my giving. Luke 6:38.

For.Whom The Bells Toll-message by Elva Howard. Excerpts: It is a custom
in some places for a large bell to ring on di&#6684774;erent occasions. The villagers know
it is for an emergency or it is to proclaim some news. Bells attract attention.
The Church has a mission and it is ringing the bells calling all the members to
service. We must have workers. Everybody is excited about the Holy Ghost
and what's happening all over the world. People are experiencing all-night
prayer meetings, being slain under the power &#6684783;r hours; the thrill of the
Holy Ghost in the middle of the street.
When Jesus went away, He said, "Tarry in the City of Jerusalem until it
comes." They were supposed to tarry because it was power for service. Joel
says, "Sound an alarm." We are sounding an alarm, for God's people need to
be on the alert. We need to be awakened to a cause. We are waiting for the in
flow; for the gathering time. God is wanting His people to get ready to do
something. I believe we are the bride that is going to make the midnight cry.
We know that we are the Church of God, that we are the one fold that
everybody is going to come to; but when the blessings of God are being poured
out, we are going to have to get them at the altar like all the other good folk.
We are going to have to humble down. Prayer is the language of the soul. It is
communion with God. It takes a man &#6684786;om where he is into the realm of God.
The bells are calling us to stop what we are doing and bow in humble submis
sion before the Lord God omnipotent. "Be still and know that I am God."
Prayer is leading away &#6684786;om the self-worlds and into the abundance of God.
Ezekiel describes this experience in Ezekiel 47:5. There is a way to turn loose
and have complete faith and that is giving yourself humbly and completely
over to God-trusting Him all the way-that's getting where your feet don't
touch bottom. There is more to this than letting loose of finance. We need
prayer-closet experiences where we will throw ourselves before God until we
are lost in the ocean of God's mighty love. We are too busy. When we get that
extra spiritual touch which is really required, we will see clearly the work to be
done and be empowered to do it. (Referred to Isaiah 6) He had a vision of the
work. When he saw God in all His power, he saw there was a work to do. When
you see God and all his power personally, you will find a job. Isaiah was un
done until he was touched, and you and I are too.
This is the day that Joel talked about in which the Spirit would fall upon all
&#6684780;esh. Spiritual people will be awakened to a cause. Their vision will be
enlarged. When Isaiah became aware of what was to be done, he said, "How
long, Oh Lord?" A service bell has rung &#6684783;r you-God's service, and this is not
limited to preachers, singers, or evangelists. God needs every born-again
Christian. You are chosen of God. Jesus Christ, Head of the Church, has
chosen you. Where is that individual who will consecrate his service to the

MINUTES OF THE 71ST ANNUAL ASSEMBLY 105
Lord-not just your talent, but your service to the Lord? What service can you
render? Who needs you? A child, the blind, sick, deaf, your neighbor, the voice
on the phone. Who will take the light? Ring the bells. "Who then will con
secrate his service unto the Lord?" Giving of ourselves is true discipleship.
Let's give ourselves to God.

1:15 SOMETHING NEW-Bessie Hardin. (E. H. Grif&#6684777;th cut ribbon &#6684786;om
the Teacher's Manual &#6684783;r Little People.) I am thrilled to present this new ad
dition to our Sunday School Literature. Matthew 14:14-20. Jesus said, ''You
feed them." I don't believe Jesus wants us to depend upon others to feed His
people. We feel the need of teaching more e&#6684774;ective lessons to establish more
souls in the doctrine of the Lord Jesus Christ. There are varied activities and
teaching aids for each lesson. It is hoped that the teaching aids will stimulate
the teachers to greater dedication for preparing to teach God's souls lessons
with a message.

2:30 I Believe in Sunday School-message by Perry Gillum. Jeremiah
16:16. The textbook of the Sunday School is the Bible. It has been suggested
that our literature is too heavy with the Church message. When will our people
be taught about the great Church of God if they are not taught in our Sunday
Schools? The Sunday School is a flame which will help dispel the darkness of
spiritual ignorance. The &#6684780;ame was ignited by Christ, and the torch was passed
by Him to His Apostles. In our communities there are people who do not know
who Jesus, Peter, Paul, or James or John are. A challenge for Church of God
Sunday Schools! God, the Father, the creator of all living things, is with us to
day through His Son, Jesus Christ, who commissioned the Church, the Body
of Christ, to preach the gospel to every creature and to teach them to observe
all things. The Church has a dual ministry-preaching and teaching. Some
&#6684783;lk only want to evangelize the poor sections of town. Every section of town
needs to be invaded. The Church of God need not have a hang-up. Don't be
afraid to witness to a lawyer, or a doctor. We need to go where people are and
tell them about the gospel message of Christ and His Church.
We must not neglect the poor but I am afraid those middle class and higher
class are neglected more than the poor by the Church. Don't be a&#6684786;aid to invite
your Mayor or any other professional to Sunday School. The darker the world
gets in this preparation time for the second coming of Jesus, the brighter the
Church of God should shine. While other religious groups are denying the
virgin birth of Christ-the power of His blood-the Bible miracles, the Church
of God must believe and practice God's Word. Our goal is to &#6684777;t the New Testa
ment pattern completely. One problem in the Church of God, we have stopped
having family devotions. That pro&#6684773;ssor down town or that TV box are
teaching your children. I don't curse nor use foul language, but I walked in
&#6684786;om the o&#6684879;ce, and the television is going with &#6684777;lthy language. I tell my
&#6684769;mily, "Let's cut it off and get the Bible." We have to build a &#6684783;undation for
this &#6684769;mily. Our General Overseer is begging us to build that family altar in
the home. We won't have so many backsliders in the Church. When the
Church of God collectively will rebuild the altars in our homes, there will be
victory in our revivals, in our Sunday Schools, and in our churches. This is

MINUTES OF THE 71ST ANNUAL ASSEMBLY 107
God's Church, and we are chosen by God. What will God do for us when we
build those altars in the home and we say, "This is a Church of God home,
God you are welcome"!
It is time to let down our nets for a draught of &#6684777;sh. Church of God, we need
to get on our knees. The Church started on its knees. A. J. Tomlinson and
those great early pioneers on their knees sought God. We can't do this work
mechanically. We will never build our Sunday School without the Spirit of
God. I don't care how many degrees you have, how many workshops and semi
nars you have attended. I believe in these functions and participate in them;
they are tools to be used, but they have to be unctionized by the Spirit of
Almighty God. I can&#2555950;t understand why we want to turn away Church of God
literature for other literature. We are working with all our heart, mind and
soul to make it what it ought to be. The only way we are going to be the
Church of God is to subscribe to everything the Church of God and the
General Assembly provides for us.

are coming. I asked lay minister Dorothy Delaney to see about prospects of
new &#6684777;eld work in Altoona, Pennsylvania. She found a congregation of Pen
tecostal people who loved God. They invited her to worship with them. Soon
another lay minister and her husband moved there. They are leaders in the
church, and they are telling them about the Church of God. I preached in a
week-end revival for them, and they are hungry &#6684783;r the Word of God. Brother
Stubbs was with us in a district convention and we. visited our church in Six
Points. During the lenten season, they joined with two Presbyterian and two
Methodist churches &#6684783;r six weeks of community services. Brother Stubbs and I
both preached to large congregations in Six Points. The Presbyterian and
Methodist ministers have requested that at Thanksgiving they be permitted
to come back to the Church of God for their community service. The Spirit is
drawing them.

MINUTES OF THE 71ST ANNUAL ASSEMBLY 109
7:26 Testimony by Joe Rickard: Last November, an acquaintance in
Michigan called me and asked me to speak at a Jewish luncheon. They want
ed me to speak about the Baptism of the Holy Ghost and Jesus Christ as the
Messiah. There were professors, doctors of law, a&#7471209;d about everyone of them
were very educated and wealthy. My good friend looked so poverty-stricken
one time that I drove him home, and &#6684783;und out he was on President Nixon's
Cancer Society and donates one million dollars a year for this cause. He and
many others had received the baptism of the Holy Ghost, and the &#7471218;ian who
was supposed to speak at this meeting couldn't come, so he said, "I know of a
Spirit-&#6684777;lled man." That is how I got there. After the luncheon, I went into a
room to answer any questions. They have had a lot of threats by their party,
and it is such a security problem to get into their meetings. I passed out the
book, This Is The Church of God of Prophecy. They called me and asked me
to speak at their April meeting. I have heard all my li&#6684773; about the inflow. One
told me, "You have a beautiful plan, but you have more customs and creeds
than the Pharisees. It looks like you have a southern doctrine, a northern doc
trine, etc." We in the Church of God should have a world-wide doctrine and
preach the same thing. Let us not slam the door of opportunity in newcomers'
&#6684769;ces.
7:40 Testimony by Larry Wilson: Ezekiel 34:6. This year we have been
seeking and searching after the Lord's sheep. A saved lady was involved in an
inter-community Bible study. She met our Victory Leaders Director, and was
invited to come to our services. She came on Victory Leaders night, and went
to the altar. She was sanctified and filled with the Holy Ghost. She soon
became a member of the Church of God and she was responsible &#6684783;r us getting
into some home prayer meetings where there were several denominational
people. I was invited to speak at their church. Before the night was over, they
were wanting to know if we could pastor them.
7:46 Brother Stubbs told of telegrams received from Senator Howard
Baker, the Jewish brethren, and the Governor.of Tennessee. He then read one
from the President of the United States, Gerald R. Ford: . "My warmest
greetings to the delegates of the 71st World-Wide General Assembly of the
Church of God of Prophecy. The presence of so many individuals from abroad
attests to the vitality of your organization in honor of the great American
tradition of religious liberty in which we take such special pride. During our
bicentennial year, I welcome your members from other lands and hope that
their visit here will be a memorable experience. May your reunion strengthen
your noble purpose and your great humanitarian achievement."
The Whole World in the Valley of Decision-message by John A. Stubbs.
Excerpts: We are to carry the gospel, believe the gospel, let God work His
Word. The Spirit of Christ is typified in the example of the woman taken in
adultery. He said, "Neither do I condemn thee." Those who condemned the
practices of Jesus and the fulfillment of Scriptures did not become believers
and were destroyed in Titus' day. The way our preachers are preaching-the

110 MINUTES OF THE 71ST ANNUAL ASSEMBLY
washing of the water by the Word will cause people to make a decision to stay
with the Church or to leave. Mark 13:10.
This gospel is salvation-the Church-the Rapture-the coming together of
the children of God-the world is making their decision. The great controversy
has been about the Church. There is a recognition among Holy Ghost-filled
people that we have got to come together in one Church. Haggai 3:6, 9. We &#6684780;y
the ensign of the Holy Nation. Time will come when judgment must begin at
the House of God. The spots and blemishes have to go. There is no place for
them in a glorious Church without spot or wrinkle. We have to have a shaking
up. You can't have a house full of glory and personal ambition. How can His
glory be seen on me? The Old Testament tells that there will come a time
when people who are not living right will not be good to those who are. The Old
Testament said, "The righteous are an abomination to the wicked." The New
Testament says, "These people are not only self-willed and lovers of self but
they despise those that are good." The religious world is divided. Inside the
Church, we have a valley of decision. Are we going to preach the Word in the
right attitude? The letter killeth, but the Spirit maketh alive. "Blessed are the
pure in heart." Your attitude; your motivation. Let us go on to per&#6684773;ction.
"Open the gate that the righteous nation that keep the truth may enter in."
We want to be a holy nation keeping the truth; living the truth. Haggai 2:22.
The greatest loss we have had was the Civil War. The Lebanese are killing the
Lebanese in Lebanon. The Irish are killing the Irish in Ireland in the name of
religion. In all of these overthrowing of gove&#7471214;ments, who is killing who? In the
take over of Communism, Russians killed the most Russians. In all the other
countries-brothers killing brothers. This is God's doing. He is shaking all
nations. The God of love turns in to a God of justice and retribution in the
Church and out. "The sinners of my people shall die by the sword." God has a
program, and there will be a harvest. Before that there will be a gathering out.
Every disloyalty in the kingdom and in the Church is going to go, and the
righteous will shine forth in the kingdom of the Father as the Son. Isaiah
45:22, 23. The world is going to recognize God. The promise to the Church,
"His glory shall be seen upon thee. Therefore thy gates shall be open continu
ally. They shall not be shut day nor night that men may bring unto thee the
wealth of the Gentile and that the king may be brought." Isaiah 60:12.
8:06 Servicemen's Program, directed by William H. Brooks. Prayer led by
Representative; 34 servicemen marched in to the tune of "Star Spangled Ban

Crews, Raymond Brown.
8:15 Testimonies by Chaplains: Ron Crews: The Lord is blessing in Ft.
Bragg, North Carolina, and it is a privilege to work with Doug Stephenson,
another of our chaplains. We desire a greater outpouring of the Spirit, but
thank God for the souls that have been saved; some are being &#6684777;lled with the
Holy Ghost. We really encourage prayer, because we know any work that is
done is because of praying people. Our greatest desire is the Spirit of God mov-

ing so that army posts would stop training in order to pray. Through God's
power and His plan, that is possible.
Dan Kurbis: Camp Pendleton, Cali&#6684783;&#7471214;ia, is a Marine Corps base. When I
went there a year ago, approximately four or five attended morning services.
We are now running in the 50's. The Lord has blessed and a revival is on the
verge of breaking out. We have had to make the chapel available 24 hours a
day. Lots of guys pray at night and fast, and some spend a whole week-end
locked up in the chapel. We have two Bible studies going and our Wednesday
night services. We appreciate your prayers for the 1st Marine Division in
Camp Pendleton.
Raymond Brown: I am proud to represent the Church of God in the Air Force.
I was stationed within the year at Loring Air Force Base in Maine; presently at
Shaw Air Force Base in South Carolina. My job as a chaplain is much like that
of a pastor. I am responsible for the youth, the Sunday School; visitation. I
began a Pentecostal service on Wednesday nights where we are &#6684786;ee to worship
God as we please. In a New Year's Eve service, we observed communion and
feet washing. Some had never washed feet before. We are helping to spread the
full gospel to the people on military installations. I put tracts out for them to
read more about God's Word and the proper interpretation. We are there to
represent the Church and we don't have to compromise. We ask you to pray
that we might be fruitful in our ministry in the military.
8:23 Offering was received for Servicemen's Department activities. Brother
Brooks expressed appreciation to the congregation for their support.
8:30 Freedom Is Not Free-It Requires Vigilance-message by William H.
Brooks. Excerpts: John 8:32. The Church believes in the whole Bible rightly
divided. People have a right to know the truth. This is a free country. It houses
the General Headquarters of the Church of God. No other nation has roots so
grounded in the commitment of religious &#6684786;eedom. At the turn of the century,
the Church of God arose to take her place on God's divine program. Much of
our nation's growth can be attributed to religious leaders who helped open the
Midwest by making rounds on horseback and preaching; opening missions in
the West, exploring the upper Mississippi River basin and laying the &#6684783;unda
tion of our educational systems. The opening words of the May&#6684780;ower Compact
are, "In the name of God." Christianity is the root of our history and nation.
While this country has not always lived up to its standards of morality and
justice, the religious convictions of America run deep. If we didn't have
freedom, we could not worship like we feel, nor feel this spirit. We are liv&#3014761;&#7209006;g in.
a great nation. We have God's divine Word and freedom by the Church to
preach it just like it is.
We should &#6684773;el proud to be citizens of such a great country permitted by
God to have its origin established on religious freedom and principles. In the
structure of the Lord's work and His Church, we are accountable to someone.
The Bible says that we should submit to those over us in the Lord. Men sh�uld
seek freedom to become men with purpose in their lives. Let us seek God that
He will direct our people in our local worship services that our spiritual needs

112 MINUTES OF THE 71ST ANNUAL ASSEMBLY
may be supplied. Sometimes it is almost unbearable to see sinners sit through
revival after revival and conviction never touch them. We need to reach that
place in the Lord that conviction would take its course. Freedom to preach
and practice the Bible has been purchased by the blood of Christ. Without
fear, we should love and support the Bible and the Church and give the people
of this generation the &#6684786;ee opportunity to hear this message. Some people
think this generation might not want to hear the message of salvation or the
Church, but they deserve the right to hear this message. You are obligated to
speak the truth and preach the whole Bible.
Elijah could not stand idly by without calling the hand of Ahab who had set
himself against God. The prophets were &#6684773;arless when pointing out the sins of
Israel and Judah. Their strong stand against sin incurred the wrath of the peo
ple. I would rather have people stirred up with me than to have God stirred up
at me. We have the freedom and authority of the Bible to take a stand against
those who &#6684777;rmly set themselves against Christ and His Church. The success of
John's message is recorded in the New Testament. John preached the baptism
of repentance for the remission of sins. People were baptized to show they had
accepted the gospel and were determined to change their lives to
righteousness. The full gospel must be spread into all the world and then shall
the end come. We must open our hearts and our ministry &#6684783;r God to use us to
the fullest extent of carrying out the full gospel of Jesus Christ. Paul's
preaching was not with enticing words of man's wisdom, but through
demonstrations of the Spii]iand the power. The Bible tells us it is now time
for you and I to awake out of sleep. I pledge myself to be more responsive to the
Spirit. God chose this country in which to have His Church come up this side
of the Dark Ages. Who .am I to decide who needs what? Use wisdom which
cometh from God to direct us when and how to apply the Word. We must ap
ply it and give them opportunity to accept or reject.

9:05 "Thy will be done in earth ... " (Matthew 6:10)-message by Jacob
Montijo. Excerpts: Luke 11:1; Matthew 6:9-13. (Bro Montijo prayed.) There
are a lot of things we don't know about God, but He is great. God wants us to
become totally attached to Him. He wants us to have assurance and to be con
fident about our God and Creator. All the time Jesus was on earth, He shared
the information that God had given to Him. He related to us and unfolded the
mysteries of God and introduced God to man.
People could feel God coming into their lives. This intense desire grew in the
disciples. Many times as they fixed their eyes on the Lord and He would per
&#6684783;rm the miracles, they would be astounded by the things He did, and they
would cling to him so much the more. We have to think many times when we
perform for God. We have to study and we have to prepare. We have to put it
next to the Scripture to solidify it and see if it is right and if it will stand the
test. Jesus didn't need to do that. He was representing the testor-God, and
He answered immediately, "After this manner there&#6684783;re pray ye." He is your
God. Don't hesitate to claim Him. It doesn't matter the distance. Recognize
His name. The Kingdom of God was at hand. Jesus was asking them to give
way completely to God. They liked the part, "Our Father which art in
heaven." Then commitment began to join with them, "Thy will be done in
this earth." Commitment got stronger as the prayer went along. Jesus wasn't
telling those disciples to pray for a far-o&#6684774; thing. They wanted a prayer for their
lives, &#6684783;r their ministries, for their time on earth. I don't believe there is any
hesitation when God desires something. I believe that before He speaks, the
desire of God is felt by celestial beings in heaven. He asked these disciples to
pray that as His will is being done in heaven that it be done in earth. If it is im
possible, why ask? I believe His Church is exercising closer to the will of God
than any other religious group. As God is being obeyed, "Give us our daily
bread and forgive our debts-we are going to get on with your work." God, we
are doing your will. I believe God is delivering so His will will be done in earth.
The only thing that can hinder is evil. I believe God takes the same pleasure in
delivering a saint of God on earth as He has defended the saints in heaven.
The Bible is full of the defense and promises of God for the saints on earth.
Can you say with me, "Thy will be done in earth as it is in heaven?"

Much of my time and e&#6684774;orts have been spent encouraging and organizing
for greater results in new field endeavors and working with small churches
to help them increase their membership. We have had greater results by work
ing through the State Overseers' of&#6684777;ces with revivals being held in new &#6684777;elds
with district ef&#6684783;rts. I would like to thank the State Overseers, district
overseers, pastors, ministers and members &#6684783;r their cooperation in laying the
ground work in di&#6684774;erent areas which enabled us to have greater results.
I personally labored in three new &#6684777;eld endeavors; contacts were made in
each of these areas and the workers in these areas are following up to get mis
sions organized. One mission has been operating and is being organized into a
church right after the Assembly.
God has sheep in other folds who are starving for the message of the Church.
I thank God for the privilege to preach to some of these and reports from the
pastors that some have joined the Church and others say they are coming.
I made a tour with the Overseer of New York boosting and encouraging
workers for greater new field efforts. He has workers who are asking to be
moved to smaller cities, and he is granting their requests with no guarantee of
income because the state doesn't have the finance; but they are moving and
financing themselves, so they can work up missions.
I am grateful for working with Bible Training Institute this year in the
school in the Virgin Islands, where I served as teacher and principal. Also, I
taught in a seminar in a ministers' con&#6684773;rence in North Carolina.
There has been conce&#7471214; among our workers for some guidelines &#6684783;r working
in new &#6684777;elds. With this in mind, Steps In the Right Direction to Organize a
Mission was prepared and sent to the State Overseers, English speaking
national overseers, with translation of the languages of the countries of the
remaining national overseers to be completed soon, and the same materials
sent to them.
Zeal is running high among our ministry to work &#6684783;r Christ and the Church.
Some states have set as their goal a mission in every district and from these
missions, new churches.
I have enjoyed working as Home Mission Worker this year and I appreciate
the prayers and cooperation of all who have helped to promote missions.

I thank God for His wonderful blessings, and &#6684783;r making it possible for me to
complete Volume Three of our Church History, "Upon This Rock", released at
this 71st Annual Assembly. We have persevered at this task despite some dif
ficulties that had to be surmounted in order to avoid lengthy interpretations
that might inject doubt or tend to hinder the equasion of the usual historical
checks and balances essential to such a ten-year episode. I have searched and
researched and perused along different avenues of source in&#6684783;rmation in an ef
&#6684783;rt to bring events alive in their own perspectives. It has been indicated that
such an informative, exhaustive history of the Churchis long over-due. If this
is so I trust that "Upon This Rock" will, in a measure, help satisfy at least a
portion of the quest for such an informative and historical expose, with pre
judice toward none.
In addition to writing this history I have tried to respond to some other
duties devolved upon my ministry.
I participated in the Tomlinson College Scholarship Banquet, August 17,
1975; attended the 70th Annual Assembly, August 16-25, 1975; attended two
General Headquarters Sta&#6684774; meetings in the Upper Room, Cleveland; atten

This has been a very busy and very rewarding year. In addition to the of&#6684777;ce
work, attended 1 Ministers' Convention, 5 District Conventions, several
special district services, and 29 local churches. I visited 4 states: Indiana,
Ohio, Southern New England and New York. Representative in 3 state con

Taught the "Body of Christ" course for churches in the local Cleveland dis

Conducted 5 week-end revivals and have been interviewed on 4 television
stations, several radio stations and by various newspaper personnel.
Was active in the Bureau of Tourism in the Cleveland Chamber of Com
merce, and represented the Church in a number of local functions as well as
participated in inter-&#6684769;ith meetings with the Full Gospel Business Men's
Fellowship in Cleveland and Chattanooga.
Attended the Mid-American Sunday School Convention, and several other
religious conferences of various Pentecostal and Charismatic groups. I was
guest speaker at a special Prophecy Conference in which we made contact
with two groups-one small and the other with a congregation of over 5&#3145776;. The
National Religious Broadcasters Convention and National Association of
Evangelicals Con&#6684773;rence in Washington, D.C. were outstanding. We were able
to grasp the magnitude and extent to the millions-even billions-who are
reached by radio and television. Also the Statisticians Meeting proved help&#6684789;l
in our work.
Participated in a revival campaign with Chris Shiakallis in Rome which was
sponsored by the Full Gospel Business Men's Fellowship. We distributed
thousands of pieces of literature in Rome without interference during the
revival. It was my privilege to preach in the Rome revival and Brother
Shiakallis and I both spoke brie&#6684780;y in the European Con&#6684773;rence which followed
the revival campaign.

Contacts have been maintained with the PTL (Praise The Lord) Club and
the 700 Club television programs. The management of both have encouraged
our pastors to participate more &#6684789;lly in the &#6684783;llow-up of contacts in the local
areas. Another outreach was witnessed at the Gospel Mission Conference in
Greenwood, Mississippi.
I have been in a number of conferences and can report that Joel's predicted
revival is well under way. In addition, I have furnished copy &#6684783;r the White
Wing Messenger each month and kept the weekly newscast, "This Is Today
With Religious World News," current.
Served on the Communications Committee.
The o&#6684774;ice work has been quite heavy at times. The interest of our people in
this Public Relations outreach has been most inspiring and encouraging.

Report of World Language Secretary
August 1, 1975 through July 31, 1976
My heart is filled with gratitude for the privilege God has given me to serve
this year as World Language Secretary. This has been the most exciting year
&#6684783;r me. The work in this department has been very interesting and challeng
ing. The personnel in this department have stood by me and because of their
loyal and faithful service we've been able to accomplish many wonder&#6684789;l
things &#6684783;r God and His Church. The translators working &#6684783;r the Church in
many di&#6684774;erent parts of the world are to be commended &#6684783;r their excellent con
tribution to the advancement of the Church. Surely, we must provide the
literature of the Church and in so doing we are &#6684789;rnishing the necessary tools
and material &#6684783;r our Mission Department and their conquest of nations. We
will work toward our goal, "The Conquest of a Language". This department
will endeavor to have translated in different languages the Church literature
and have it ready &#6684783;r printing when needed.
During this year I served the Church as: Managing Editor of the Spanish
White Wing Messenger; as Secretary of the World Mission Committee; as a
member of Tomlinson Home for Children and the Church Publishing Com ..
mittees.
In conjunction with my duties in this department I was blessed with the
privilege of visiting the Church work in 12 states and 11 nations.

I want to express my gratitude to those in the World Language offices. I
thank God and our General Overseer for allowing me to serve the Church. I'm
grate&#6684789;l for the support and prayers of the Church in general. All that has been
done is &#6684783;r God. To God be the glory.

Report of Communications Department Business Manager
August 1, 1975 through July 31, 1976
During the past twelve months, the Lord has bestowed marvelous blessings
upon the communications work of the Church. To Him we give glory, honor
and praise &#6684783;r all that has been accomplished. I am especially grateful for the
health and strength, guidance, protection, and spiritual blessings the Lord has
given in the year's work.
The Voice of Salvation English program has gained much additional broad
cast coverage in Central America, Africa, Eastern United States and the
Plains States. Some of the added coverage includes a powerful channel station
in Cleveland, Ohio, &#6684786;om which our broadcast is now reaching approximately
38 states and portions of Eastern Canada at 10:30 p.m. Eastern Time each
Sunday. Also, the program now has primary coverage of Washington, D.C.
&#6684786;om a radio station in Potomac, Maryland. The Spanish Voice of Salvation
has been blessed with increased broadcast coverage in Central America and
South America. This has been made possible t&#6815858;ough the splendid coopera
tion of the State and National overseers of the Church in those areas; by the
operations of Broadcast Distribtitors and Broadcast Record Club and ap
propriation of Free Literature &#6684789;nds for this purpose.
Majestic Records has become established this year as a commercial record
label, having received the trademark for the name "Majestic" last October.
Since that time, we have signed contracts with one distributor of phonograph
records in Jamaica and one in Trinidad. These serve all the English speaking
nations of the Caribbean.
We have been able by the help of the General Properties Committee and the
Puerto Rican state office to install a &#6684777;ne recording studio in San Juan, Puerto
Rico, &#6684783;r producing the Spanish Voice of Salvation.
I have traveled extensively during the year on behalf of the communications

have handled four on-location recording sessions, and participated in several
church rallies. My traveling has been in Ohio, Georgia, Kansas, Alabama,
Michigan, Tennessee, Bahamas, Virgin Islands, Jamaica, Puerto Rico, and
several countries in South America. I have attended one district convention,
three state conventions, the convention of the National Religious Broadcasters
in Washington, D.C., the convention of Audio Engineering Society in New
York City and a technical seminar in Chicago, Illinois. I attended the Easter
program and June 13th program in Fields of the Wood.

Report of the Minister of Music
August 1, 1975 through July 31, 1976
125
Music in the Church of God is according to the word of God as recorded in
Hebrews 2:12, "In the midst of the Church will I sing praise unto thee". As
Minister of Music I served as Music Director for the Voice of Salvation Broad
cast; also directed the recording sessions &#6684783;r the Broadcast Record Club and
assisted in the music arrangements &#6684783;r these releases. We &#6684773;el this has been
our finest year musically &#6684783;r the Broadcast Record Club. Our last release fea
tured special arrangements for brass instruments and vocal music parts that
will be available to our Church people for use in their local churches.
I served on the Youth Mission Board: Music Committee and Communica
tions Committee; taught music in the Cleveland and West Coast Bible Train
ing Institutes; made 8 area tours with the Music Department and staff of
Tomlinson College, directing the Tomlinson College Chorale in rallies and
youth conventions and served as part-time music instructor at Tomlinson
College.
We published several songs this year &#6684783;r the Voice of Salvation Music Com
pany and made these songs available to our congregations; assisted the state
and national music directors with materials, handbooks, music and promotion
in our states and countries.
Our Horns &#6684783;r Missions project is continuing to meet a growing need for in
struments in the Church. Since the inception of this program we have collec
ted horns for needy areas of the world, valued at more than $11,000.00. Many
countries are still in desperate need of musical instruments and any contribu
tions are greatly appreciated.
We had a record attendance in our Gospel Music Camp this year at Tomlin
son College. This week-long activity is designed to improve the music in our
local churches and we urge all who are sincerely interested in music to attend
Gospel Music Camp. Training is provided in each area of church music.
I would like to express my appreciation to Bill Hu&#6684774;man of Mark V Studios
for his untiring efforts and contributions to the Record Club and recording
work of the Church these past four years. He has given unselfishly to directing
the music in these recording sessions as well as providing his own studio
recording &#6684783;r the Record Club and the Church television programs. His time
and studio contribution has saved the Church several thousand dollars this
year. His e&#6684774;orts are largely responsible for making our Broadcast Record Club
a first class music ministry with quality and spirit.

I am very pleased to report that the Church has its radio studio for the
production of the Spanish program. On the construction of this studio I served
as administrator. The studio will be o&#6684774;ering facilities to record master tapes
for the production of records, besides the tapes we can already do and other
recording work.
The radio program is broadcast in Mexico, Central America, South America
and the Caribbean Islands and. some of the States in the USA. We have 65
radio stations throughout the Spanish speaking territories broadcasting the
Spanish Voice of Salvation.
We also have office facilities in San Juan to handle correspondance for the
Spanish program. Thousands of letters have been received with many
testimonies of healing and salvation. The &#6684786;ee correspondance course, Body of
Christ, offered through the program has proved to be a blessing to the
listeners. We have distributed 981 units and 153 certificates this year.
I gladly report that the communication ministry in Spanish has been ex
panded to television programs, by translating the English programs produced
by the Church. The first one was televised on four stations in Puerto Rico,
with very good response &#6684786;om the public and the television managers.
I am very grateful to our Communications Manager, &#6684783;r his wonderful sup
port to the Spanish radio work; also Henry Cailis and the General Church con
tribution for making possible the studio construction in Puerto Rico.

World Minion Committee Report
August 1, 1975 through July 31, 1976
127
Through the providence of Almighty God and the mercies of our Lord Jesus
Christ, the Church of God was organized this year in the countries of Portugal,
Rhodesia and Jordan. The Committee wishes to commend Brothers Felix Gar
cia, Christos Shiakallis, Roy D. Mixon and Joe T. White, who were instru
mental in setting the Church in order in these new countries.
We praise the Lord &#6684783;r the dedicated e&#6684774;orts of the Overseers, Missionaries
and Mission Representatives, and commend them highly &#6684783;r their work. Their
patience, cooperation and understanding has made the job of the Committee
much easier. We wish to thank all those who inquired about the Mission
Work, and those who have o&#6684774;ered to serve the Church through Missions.
This has been a banner year &#6684783;r the October and March World Mission
Drives. The combined total was $312,030.15, an increase of $69,541.34 over
1974-75. We highly commend our Overseers, Pastors and members &#6684783;r the out
standing response.
World Harvest Funds are also on the increase, and continue to be of great
assistance to our workers abroad. All funds &#6684783;r special purposes should be
mailed directly to the World Harvest Fund, specifying to whom or &#6684783;r what
purpose the contribution is made. The response to the Guatemala Earthquake
Relief Funds was overwhelming and the Committee expresses its thanks to the
precious members and &#6684786;iends of the Church whose generous donations
totalled $12,577.88. May God richly bless our people &#6684783;r their faithful and un
selfish support of our Mission e&#6684774;ort:

It has been very rewarding to serve the Church of God in the World Mission

ings. In carrying out my duties, I have made 31 visits to 19 nations and states,

In addition to attending to the administrative work of the Department, I
served as Overseer of Haiti since the death of Bishop J. Vital Herne in Oc
tober, 1975, and wish to express my deep appreciation to Brother Jean E. Vital
Heme and all our ministers and members in Haiti &#6684783;r their splendid coopera

It was also my privilege to serve the Church on the &#6684783;llowing Boards and

This year my travels have taken me across the Atlantic, Pacific, and Indian
Oceans several times, traveling approximately 100,000 miles by air and many
thousands of miles by other means of transportation. I have traveled in Africa,
Asia, Middle East, Australia, Pacific Seas and Europe.
I have attended the following Church &#6684789;nctions: 8 National Conventions, 1
Ministers' Convention, 1 Youth Camp; taught BTI in both Canada and
Cleveland, Tennessee; attend the Mission Festival in West Texas; visited In
dia for 7 days, visiting a di&#6684774;erent church each night with approximately 5,000

dia, 1 in Indonesia. Laid corner stones &#6684783;r 3 churches in Sierra Leone. Broke
ground &#6684783;r new tabernacle in India.
I spent several days in Rhodesia with ministers and Committeemen and es

there four days, attending services at the 5,000 member Evangelical Church in
Moscow. Approximately 7,000 people were present. The Russians gave me a
very warm welcome, a standing ovation and a hearty invitation to return to
them. I encountered no dif&#6684777;culties.
I served as National Overseer of Egypt and Sierra Leone visiting Egypt &#6684783;ur
times this year and Sierra Leone two times. Organized and moderated two
conventions in Egypt, one in Alexandria and one in Assuit; organized and
moderated convention in Freetown, Sierra Leone. Assisted the Overseers with
their administrative work, preached, taught and attended to the general
Church business. This involved various investigations, property, finance and
government relations.
In my of&#6684777;ce, all correspondence has been answered, reports written and
follow-up work done. I thank the National Overseers in my assigned territory
and the General Headquarters sta&#6684774; for their splendid cooperation.

Report of Caribbean Mission Representative

"The light of the eyes rejoiceth the heart: and a good report maketh the

report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these
things." (Proverbs 15:30, Phil. 4:8).

Questions and Subjects Committee Report
SECTION 1
Whereas Bishop Lawrence Heckert has served the Assembly faith&#6684789;lly for 5
years as a member of the Questions and Subjects Committee, we wish to ex
press our sincere appreciation &#6684783;r the dedicated contribution he has made to
the Church of God by serving on this Committee.
SECTION 2
It is gratifying to see the progress which has been made in retiring the in
debtedness on our Assembly Tabernacle within such a short period of time, so
that already we are ready to begin the construction of our General Office
building. There is little doubt that such accomplishment would have been im
possible without the wholehearted dedication to this project of a new head
quarters complex by our General Overseer. We &#6684773;el these buildings will not
only stand as markers for the Church of God but they will also stand as a
memorial to a great leader who was able to inspire the Church to "rise up and
build." For this contribution of leadership provided by our General Overseer
may we o&#6684774;er opportunity &#6684783;r a voluntary expression of love and appreciation
by a standing ovation at this time.
SECTION 3
The Questions and Subjects Committee's report to the 66th Assembly in
1971 contains the &#6684783;llowing question and answer:
QUESTION: "Can a person be transferred by the State Overseer after the
church is disbanded?"

MINUTES OF THE 71ST ANNUAL ASSEMBLY 135
ANSWER: "If the State Overseer discovers that, due to circumstances
beyond his control and knowledge, a worthy member who was in good
standing was not transferred at the time of the disbandment, he may grant
that transfer by power invested in him as a member of the presbytery."
It is the &#6684773;eling of this Committee that this answer implies that at least for a
time a person can be a member of the Body and yet not a member of a local
church; inasmuch as the church where his membership was, has been dis
banded, and to disband means to render nonexistent. We believe every mem
ber of the Body is a member of a local church somewhere and that there are no
"&#6684780;oating" members.
Disbanding a church by the presbytery has the same effect upon those
members who have not been transferred as the action of a local church dis
&#6684773;llowshipping a member in business conference. In either case such action
renders a person no longer a part of the Body, and to become a member again
would require that he take the covenant thus becoming a member of a local
church.
In light of this explanation we recommend the answer to the above question
be restated as, "no."
SECTION 4
The 65th Assembly in 1970 recommended that the pastor appoint his
church leaders and officers any time at the pastor's discretion, from the first
Sunday of August to the October conference.
Inasmuch as these appointments are sometimes made outside a church
business conference, we urge that care be taken to see that a care&#6684789;l record is
made by the church clerk of this action by the pastor. The date of the appoint
ments along with the names of each leader should be recorded as a matter of
good business.
SECTION 5
We wish to commend our General Overseer for his inspiration in planning
and promoting the Bicentennial Event this year which has resulted in many
new people becoming acquainted with the Church and its message. It is en
couraging to learn that the zeal manifested in this country with regards to this
endeavor has taken hold of our people in other nations.
We heartily endorse that section of the General Overseer's Address propos
ing an all-nations invasion. May we urge each member to give his prayerful
support to our General Overseer that God will inspire him as he sets forth the
plans for this gigantic undertaking.

136 MINUTES OF THE 71ST ANNUAL ASSEMBLY
SECTION 6
"Not slothful m business; fervent in spirit; serving the Lord." Romans
12:11.
It seems necessary that we continually remind ourselves of the importance
of diligence in conducting business in God's Church. It has come to our atten
tion that in many places cashing checks made payable to the Church of God of
Prophecy is being done in ways not considered as sound business procedure. It
seems unwise &#6684783;r an endorsement to cash a check be made by someone other
than an authorized o&#6684774;icer of the church to which the check is made payable.
In fact it would be a better policy for all checks made payable to the Church of
God of Prophecy to be deposited in the proper church account rather than to
cash them. Then, authorized of&#6684777;cers could write checks to cover necessary ex
penditures. Such authorization for si
&#6750318;ing or endorsing checks should be
made official in the local church business conference. The conference itself
may designate the o&#6684879;cers to be authorized or it may grant permission to the
pastor to make such designation. Of course, the treasurer would have such
authorization by virtue of his o&#6684774;ice, yet it would be good if this could be so
stated in the conference.
SECTION 7
"Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you
... " Matthew 28:20.
To assist us in ful&#6684777;lling this commission to go and teach all nations to ob
serve the "all things" commanded us by our Lord, God has given to the
Church an auxiliary geared especially to teaching-the Sunday School.
We accept the fact that the textbook for our Sunday Schools is the Bible,
God's holy Word. Inasmuch as the Assembly is the authority for interpreting
the Bible, we are fortunate to have literature available &#6684783;r our schools to assist
the teacher in his teaching which is in harmony with the Assembly's inter
pretation of the Bible.
We. feel it is important that all our Sunday Schools use literature produced
and approved by the Church. Where this is not being done we strongly urge
that our pastors see to it that their schools discontinue the use of materials
which fall short of teaching the "all things" our Lord commanded His Church
to teach and begin using our own approved literature.
At the same time we feel it is imperative that our writers and our Editorial
Committee on Doctrine continue with diligence their e&#6684774;orts to make certain
that no "unsound" doctrine appears in the printed materials produced by the
Church.

MINUTES OF THE 71ST ANNUAL ASSEMBLY 137
"It is our hope that we will soon have available to us, Vacation Bible School
literature produced by the Church in addition to our regular Sunday School
literature.
All subjects presented to this Committee have been prayerfully considered,
some of which we felt deserved further consideration before being presented to
the Assembly. Several letters have been written to individuals giving answers
we did not deem necessary to bring to the attention of this entire body. The
Committee expresses appreciation to all our people who have prayed for our
deliberations.
QUESTION: "Would it be Scriptural &#6684783;r a pastor to appoint a husband and
wife team as one band leader?"
ANSWER: "Inasmuch as we have accepted the order of government outlined
in Exodus 18:21 in which there were to be rulers of thousands, and rulers of
hundreds, rulers of &#6684777;fties, and rulers of tens, as a type for the Church's govern
ment of state or national overseers, district overseers, pastors and band
leaders, it is the feeling of this Committee that only one person should &#6684777;ll each
of these offices."

It has been an honor and pleasure to direct the General Sunday School
ministries world-wide which, this past year, have included the Sunday School
Literature Editorial responsibilities. As a result of the dedicated leadership of
our State and National Overseers and Secretaries, this department continues
to show a very good increase.
I prepared and directed the 1976 General Sunday School Enlargement
Campaign and reported campaign results to the Church through the White
Wing Messenger; also prepared the 1977 Enlargement Campaign and
processed the sample packets to each State and National Overseer in this
General Assembly. These are available in both English and Spanish.
With approval of the General Overseer, the General Sunday School Depart
ment has prepared and introduced in this General Assembly a Church-wide
Rally Day attendance campaign entitled, "Vote Sunday School." The date is
set &#6684783;r November 7, 1976. Sample promotional packets were provided at the
Sunday School booth for every pastor. The White Wing Publishing House has
these promotional materials available for your ordering convenience.
The General Sunday School Department has published a new organiza
tional guidelines book &#6684783;r Sunday School development and growth. This is
available in both English and Spanish and has been processed to all State/
National Overseers in this General Assembly.
I have prepared two Sunday School issues of the White Wing Messenger
and published quarterly the Sunday School "Helps and Hints" publication, a
center part of the White Wing Messenger. Beginning with the November issue
we are doubling the size of "Helps and Hints." Presently it is four pages; the
next issue will be an eight-page publication.
I have managed the general a&#6684774;airs of the Sunday School Department. As
Sunday School Literature Editor, with the capable assistance of our General
Sunday School sta&#6684774;, I have edited all of our Sunday School iiterature and
directed the Sunday School writing through a dedicated group of writers. I ex
press appreciation to our current Sunday School writers who are: J. J.
Steward, Raymond Pruitt, Caroline Ledbetter, Kathy Howard, Bessie Har
din, Anita Sue Leader, Darrell Creel. Other writers whose materials are pre
sently being used are: Buford Johnson, Ora Mae Willing, Dan Preston, Oma
Lee Murray, Dee Ann Scheurer.
The Sunday School Department has introduced to this General Assembly
its newest member of the Sunday School literature family, which is the

MINUTES OF THE 71ST ANNUAL ASSEMBLY 141
"Teachers Manual &#6684783;r Little People." We are indebted to Bessie Hardin &#6684783;r
her inspiration and authorship of this material.
I express appreciation to all the Editorial Committee on Doctrine &#6684783;r doc
trinally directing our Sunday School publication work. We want our literature
to be 100 per cent in line with the General Assembly.
I taught in the Cleveland and Cali&#6684783;&#7471214;ia Bible Training Institutes and ser
ved: as devotional coordinator for both schools; as board member of the Mid-
. America Sunday School Association; on the board of directors of Tomlinson
Home for Children; on the Editorial Committee on Doctrine; on the board of
directors of the Cleveland Family Y.M.C.A.; on the World Headquarters Con
struction Committee, and functioned as an inner committeeman working
closely with our architect and contractor. It has been a pleasure to work
closely with Brothers E. H. Griffith, G. A. Wilson, H. 0. Callis on World
Headquarters Construction Committee assignments.
I express appreciation to our Assistant Publisher and Business Manager of
the White Wing Publishing House for the Sunday School publication work,
the World Language Secretary and his staff &#6684783;r their efforts in the translation
of Sunday School publications, and my o&#6684774;ice sta&#6684774;.

Ministerial Aid Committee Report
August 1, 1975 through July 31, 1976
The Ministerial Aid Committee is very thankful to God &#6684783;r His unsparing
generosity in providing funds for the care of our deserving &#6684773;llow ministers who
have given so much of themselves for the Gospel of Christ.
"In Appreciation" Certificates have been awarded our retired ministers,
who have served the Church 25 years or more and who reached their 65th
birthday, in recognition of their service to the Church. The Committee recom
mends the same recognition be extended to ordained Deacons who have served
at least 25 years and have reached their 65th birthday. Recognition is also
recommended to our other ministers who may not have served 25 years full
time service in the ministry, but are considered pillars in the Church, and who
by their influence and services in their community have contributed greatly to
the growth of the Church in their areas. They are required to have been licen
sed at least 25 years and have reached their 65th birthday. The same Standard
Requirements as stated in Section II of the Purposes and General Policies of
the Ministerial Aid Committee will be required of all ministers when applying
for an "In Appreciation" Certificate.
"In Appreciation" Certificates have been awarded to the following
ministers: Dewitt T. Caldwell, Ga.; Sydney A. Cooley, Calif.; Joe C. Crews,
Fl.; Elsie Curry, Tenn.; Andrew W. Davis, Ky.; Paul J. Ion, Penn.; Henry K.
Peek, Ga.; 0. D. Smith, Calif.; John L. Sullivan, Tenn.; John W. Taylor, Fl.;
Luther M. Bivens, Va.; William A. Grant, Va.; M. K. Kounnas, Cyprus;
Joseph Martin, Va.; Sebastian McGee, Va.; Posey Shupe, Md.; and Ronald
G. Thompson, N.Y.
Your Ministerial Aid Committee has held 12 meetings and approved 10 ap
plications for retirement, 13 for modified retirement and 21 &#6684783;r disability
retirement. Two &#6684783;rmer recipients were reinstated, 15 recipients have passed
away and allotments for 6 were cancelled.
Applications were approved &#6684783;r nine widows of &#6684783;rmer recipients of
Ministerial Aid benefits to receive fifty per cent of their deceased husband's

MINUTES OF THE 71ST ANNUAL ASSEMBLY 145
allotment. Three applications were approved &#6684783;r widows of deceased full time
ministers to _receive assistance, also the application of one lay-employee was
approved, making a total of 59, a decrease of 14 &#6684786;om last year.
We now have 75 ministers receiving retirement bene&#6684777;ts; 69 receiving
modified retirement bene&#6684777;ts; 145 receiving disability bene&#6684777;ts; 91 widows of
ministers receiving assistance; 8 lay-employees are receiving retirement
benefits, making a total of 388 receiving assistance &#6684786;om the Ministerial Aid
Fund, an increase of 40 over last year.
This year 54 of our ministers passed away and there was one additional
death reported for a prior year. The Ministerial Aid Committee approved 37
Proo&#6684787; of Death with a total of $30,100.00 paid &#6684786;om the Ministerial Aid Fund
to the bene&#6684777;ciaries.
The Committee provided 25 Church Flags to be presented by the o&#6684774;iciating
ministers to the next of kin, as a Memorial Tribute on behalf of the deceased
minister, and 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
$123,125.36. We have 57 ministers enrolled as active participants.
The Annuity Plan that was announced last Assembly has 14 participants
with a total investment of $8,668.80.

We thank God &#6684783;r the progress experienced this year at Tomlinson College.
In addition to normal duties required of a college president, I am pleased to
report that we have made progress in accomplishing the desires of the General
Assembly in our college program.
Our Bible and Christian Education departments have been enlarged by ad
dition of &#6684769;culty and courses. We are better quali&#6684777;ed to o&#6684774;er courses in these
areas to serve our people.
One of the new and exciting courses we are o&#6684774;ering is History and Polity of
the Church with James Stone, instructor. This course will also be available in
correspondence &#6684783;rm in January, 1977.
In the Assembly report last year of the Tomlinson College Board of
Trustees, it was recommended that the college set up an extension depart
ment and a correspondence division of that department. I am pleased to an
nounce that we have three courses ready &#6684783;r you in correspondence form. You
may now earn college credit at home in these courses &#6684786;om Tomlinson College.
A Bible course, an English course, and Church Music are available. Brochures
on these courses may be picked up at the Tomlinson College booth or at the
school.

148 MINUTES OF THE 71ST ANNUAL ASSEMBLY
Moreover, in the Extension department we are ready to o&#6684774;er an extension
class this year. Lloyd Black, one of our &#6684783;rmer instructors, is prepared to begin
extension classes at McMinnville, Tennessee, &#6684783;r people within commuting
distance of that city. Textbooks, syllabi, and courses will be the same as are
taught on campus, will meet our academic standards, and will carry college
credit.
The dormitory rooms have been repainted, and new carpet has been placed
in the rooms and halls. Other buildings have been repainted. A new tennis
court will be &#6684777;nished in approximately one week.
Appreciation is expressed to all those who have contributed in funds,
prayers, or equipment, including the M.A. Tomlinson Scholarship Fund ban
quet.
Special appreciation to Chris Counnas who has been responsible for sizeable
donations to the college in time, lecturing, and in funds &#6684786;om his company.
Textron Corporation has donated several thousand dollars in the past several
years, matching contributions that Brother Counnas has given. Moreover,
Brother Counnas has done a tremendous amount of research on the college
program.
As Church pilot I have &#6684780;own the General Overseer and other Headquarters
workers when the occasion called for it.
As president of Tomlinson College, I wish to express my appreciation to the
Board of Trustees who have worked so untiringly with me this year, to the
faculty of the college, which, in my opinion, is the greatest group of instructors
anywhere, and to the sta&#6684774;.

Report of Tomlinson College Board of Directors
1) In support of the General Overseer's Annual Address to the 70th Annual
Assembly where he requested greater emphasis be placed on Bible, Church
Doctrine, Church History, Business, Theocratic Government, and other
related subjects, the Board is happy to report that considerable progress has
been made.
Course #262 titled "Church Polity and History" is a new subject o&#6684774;ered this
year. The course incorporates an in-depth study of the Church. The syllabus is
very comprehensive. This course is mandatory and without exception will be
taught to every Tomlinson College student.

MINUTES OF THE 71ST ANNUAL ASSEMBLY 149
We highly commend the President, Staff and Faculty for this great advan
cement.
2) In response to the great number of requests, an Extension Department
has been established within the College to provide courses of interest for in
dependent study. This will enable those who cannot attend resident classes on
the Cleveland Campus to receive credit and non credit courses of study. This
will strengthen the students in the various areas of the Church's operations
and ministries. A brochure has been prepared and is in distribution.
3) In order to permit e&#6684774;ective formulation and utilization of committees to
work more closely with the College President and Administration on matters
such as budgets, planning, curriculum, student affairs, buildings and grounds,
we hereby recommend that consideration be given to increasing the number of
board members from 7 to 9.
The Board of Directors would reduce the number of regular meetings from
three to two. The various committees, within the Board, would work closely
with the College Administration on assigned projects and would supply
reports at the regular meetings of the Board.
4) In our report to the 70th Annual Assembly, we recommend that pursuit
of accreditation be discontinued based upon a study made of the standards of
the College Delegate Assembly of the Southern Association. These standards
as interpreted indicated that they would limit, restrain, forbid or abridge the
operation of the College in the context of theocratic gove&#7471214;ment.
Subsequent to this, information has been made available whereby it may be
possible to be accredited by an appropriate agency whose standards and rules
would not place the Church in a position of compromise, nor would they limit
or restrict the Church from having &#6684789;ll control of the operation of the College.
If this be so, we would improve our position at Tomlinson College to allow
for more student enrollments, because more avenues of financial assistance
could be made available for them. Also, this would enhance the transfer of
credits to other schools.
The Board has appointed a committee to thoroughly study this matter.
5) We extend our thanks and appreciation for the significant increased
support by the entire Church. It is very gratifying and inspiring to see the
College rapidly progress as a result of your enthusiasm for its success.
The annual M. A. Tomlinson Scholarship Banquet was a tremendous
success. Thanks to all of you for your generous contributions and participa
tion.

6) The term of Virgil Van Deventer expires during this General Assembly.
He has been an invaluable member and chairman. His high qualities in devo
tion and leadership have been an inspiration to the College sta&#6684774;, faculty, and
trustees. We thank him &#6684783;r his seven years of excellent service.

Church Boosters Committee Report
Whereas the city o&#6684879;cials of Cleveland have &#6684783;r many years welcomed the
delegates to the General Assembly; and whereas other men of prominence
have joined the city of&#6684777;cials in welcoming us to Cleveland; and whereas the
Chamber of Commerce and businessmen of this city have provided bus
transportation &#6684783;r hundreds of our delegates this year; therefore be it resolved,
that this Assembly, in appreciation &#6684783;r the warm welcome we have received,
the bus transportation, and all expressions of good will, express our deep ap
preciation with a standing ovation.
THE DOCTRINE OF THE CHURCH
"Take heed unto thyself, and unto the doctrine; continue in them: for in do
ing this thou shalt both save thyself, and them that hear thee," 1 Tim. 4:16.
We wish to emphasize the fact that the doctrine of the Church is the doc
trine of the Bible. It is not a man-made doctrine, but one given by the inspira
tion of God to the holy men of God who wrote the Scriptures.
Since Timothy was instructed to take heed to the doctrine and himself, we
believe our ministers, both preachers and teachers, should do likewise. This
will require them to set a good example before the world and their hearers, as
well as spending much time in the study of the Bible so that they may be able
to teach the truth to others.
In these last days there are a great many false doctrines going around which
have deceived multitudes of people. We, who know the truth, can escape these
errors, &#6684783;r Jesus said, "And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make
you &#6684786;ee."
Let us all, both ministers and members, stick to the doctrine of the Church
of God without even a hint of wavering. We &#6684773;el that this is the sa&#6684773;st and best
way to keep the victory and move steadily onward toward the goal.
OUR TABERNACLE AND PROPOSED NEW GENERAL OFFICE
BUILDING
Special commendation is due each minister and member of the Church for
your splendid cooperation in paying for our Assembly Tabernacle. This has

154 MINUTES OF THE 71ST ANNUAL ASSEMBLY
been realized because God has been good to us, and your united e&#6684774;orts.
Now we have a vast new challenge-paying &#6684783;r our new General Of&#6684777;ce
Building. We urge each State Overseer, pastor, minister and member to sup
port our General Overseer and the World Headquarters Construction Com -
mittee by rallying to this challenge. Come on Church of God! Let us pay &#6684783;r
this building. We can do it!
WORLD LANGUAGE DEPARTMENT
The World Language Department is responsible for all the translation of
Church literature in the di&#6684774;erent languages of the world. We have Church
literature available in over twenty languages and the White Wing Messenger
is prepared in six of these. We have translators in the Philippine Islands,
Korea, Indonesia, India, E
&#6750329;pt, Israel, Germany, Brazil, South Africa, Mexico
and Haiti. Also, we have translators in French, Spanish, Indonesian, Hindi,
Arabic and Greek.
The newest achievements in the World Language Department have been
the General Assembly Minutes of the 71st General Assembly and "These
Necessary Things" in Spanish. This Department has prepared manuals &#6684783;r
Sunday School Department and the Womens Missionary Band, Guidelines &#6684783;r
Public Relations work, Evangelism Department and various other auxiliary
materials.
The World Language Department is responsible for the translation of all
correspondence to and from General Headquarters and the White Wing
Publishing House.
AUXILIARIES
We wish to encourage every local church to &#6684769;ithfully operate each aux
iliary, using the name adopted by the General Assembly, in full harmony with
its purpose as outlined by the General Assembly. Auxiliary names or purposes
cannot be altered or changed by anyone other than the General Assembly. The
Church has prospered spiritually and financially where these helps have been
properly operated. To &#6684769;il to promote our auxiliaries as they have been out
lined by the General Assembly, is to weaken and hinder the spiritual and
&#6684777;nancial growth of the Church.

Accolade
Ways and Means Committee Report
SECTION 1
"Where there is no vision the people perish ... " Proverbs 29:18a.
Because of the vision of our General Overseer, Bishop M.A. Tomlinson, we
are here today worshipping God in a mortgage-&#6684786;ee Assembly Tabe&#7471214;acle. His
vision was great enough to lead us to higher ground and bring us this far by
&#6684769;ith.
The 71st Annual Assembly will go down in Church history as one that
broadened our vision and we wish to include this accolade to our General
Overseer for future generations to read, should the Lord tarry.
SECTION 2
We wish to commend our General Overseer for his wonderful Annual Ad
dress to this 71st Assembly of the Church, and ask this delegation to show our
appreciation for his leadership by reiterating what was accepted last
Assembly in regards to a &#6684777;nancial plan to pay for our new General Headquar
ters O&#6684774;ices. Namely: That the financial plan that is now used for payment of
the Assembly Tabernacle be continued, calling it the General Properties
Fund.
SECTION 3
This Committee fully concurs with our General Overseer and his words con
cerning the need &#6684783;r a forward thrust in regards to the work of our World
Language Department and wishes to recommend the &#6684783;llowing:
I. That the Assembly Free Literature O&#6684774;ering be designated to go for the
translation and printing required &#6684783;r this enlarged Church Literature
Publishing Program.
2. That the Church Publishing Committee be responsible for deciding what
materials are to be translated and printed and for the complete utilization
of the program and funds.
3. That the General Victory Leaders Secretary spearhead a drive to inform
our people in general and the youth in particular of the value of the

156 MINUTES OF THE 71ST ANNUAL ASSEMBLY
printed word in spreading the Last Days' Message and that he encourage
each one to help swell the Convention and Assembly Offering to aid in this
purpose.
We believe when our wonderful young people know of the great need for
more printed material in more languages and how vital it is to the fulfilling of
our Great Commission that has been given to the Church, they will rise to
meet this new challenge of the mission for which they have already accom
plished so much.
SECTION 4
With reference to all other sections of the Ways and Means Committee
Report printed in the Minutes of the 69th and 70th General Assemblies 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 for your
patience and prayers while we search God's will &#6684783;r an answer.
SECTION 5
SURPLUS TITHES: 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 Sun
day 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 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 &#6684783;llowing words be added to this
paragraph. "That first consideration be given to the pastor's expense in the
ministry; said expense 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 tithes? 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 6
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 &#6684777;nance and
appropriation committees are using state &#6684789;nds to help weak churches, needy
pastors, and new fields.

MINUTES OF THE 71ST ANNUAL ASSEMBLY 157
This committee has given serious thought, consideration, and time to the
problems con&#6684786;onting those ministering to our smaller churches. We realize
that, without the sacri&#6684777;ces made by these ministers, there would be no larger
churches. We do appreciate those who lay the &#6684783;undation, and recommend
that portion of surplus tithes received by the state or country &#6684786;om the local
churches as of the last Sunday in June each year to be used only &#6684783;r the sup
port of those ministering to non-supporting churches or missions, including
pastors, evangelists, and/or others appointed by the Overseer.
This committee is in profound conce&#7471214; and sympathy with the operation of
our local churches and the heavy financial responsibilities which they face.
With reference to this knowledge, we re&#6684773;r to the financial system as recorded
in the Assembly Minutes which says, "The tithes are for the support of the
ministry only."
This Committee wishes to draw your attention to the fact that it does not
say of ministers only; rather, of the ministry only. Ministry is de&#6684777;ned as the
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.
SECTION 7
Some have experienced di&#6684774;iculties when &#6684777;ling their income tax form per
taining to the subject of contributions. The difficulty has been experienced
when checks have been made payable to individuals rather than to the Church
of God of Prophecy. There&#6684783;re, we recommend in the future that all checks,
such as tithing, contributions, etc., be made payable to the Church of God of
Prophecy.
Also, that the General Church account carry the logo, "Church of God of
Prophecy, General Treasurer's Account."
SECTION 8
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. We also recommend that the multi-year
subscription rate be left to the discretion of the Church Publis.hing Commit
tee. (Ways & Means Com., Minutes of 69th Assembly.)
SECTION 9
Since the mission of the Church is world-wide, we recommend that the
words "Field Office, National Overseer or Treasurer" be included where
necessary or applicable and also, where the dollar is not the monetary system

158 MINUTES OF THE 71ST ANNUAL ASSEMBLY
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
country.
SECTION 10
1. The Assembly recommends that the General Properties Fund be con
tinued; 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 &#6684777;nalize the
collecting of these funds. These General Properties Funds should be mailed to
the General Overseer or General Field Of&#6684777;ce, immediately after the last Sun
day of December.
Since this is such a great and worthy cause, it is recommended that each
State or National Overseer and pastor be responsible to promote this in their
respective &#6684777;eld of labor.
Furthermore, we would both invite and encourage any or all individuals to
make voluntary personal contributions to the Church of God of Prophecy
General Properties Fund. Any amount contributed by individuals should be
sent direct to M.A. Tomlinson, Bible Place, Cleveland, Tennessee 37311, or
the General Field Office.
2. The Assembly recommends that, if there should be any de&#6684777;cit occurring
in the General Properties Fund in making the monthly payments, such de&#6684777;cit
be paid from the General Fund.
SECTION 11
1. 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.
2. The Assembly recommends that the allotment of the General Overseer
and that the question of pay &#6684783;r incidental expenses plus any and all personal
necessities be left to the discretion of the Executive Committee.
3. The Assembly recommends that 10 per cent of the tithes received each
month by the local church treasurer be sent with his report to the General
Treasurer, and that the same amount be sent to the state or national treasurer
along with the &#6684783;urth Sunday o&#6684774;ering. In view of the fact that the pastors are
paid by the local church treasurer and the General Workers are paid by the
General Treasurer, it seems logical and consistent to have the State or
National Overseer paid by the state or national treasurer.

MINUTES OF THE 71ST ANNUAL ASSEMBLY 159
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 &#6684789;nds are available) according to the rulings of
the General Assembly. Where this is not feasible &#6684783;r countries-outside the
U.S.A., that this matter be left to the descretion of the World Mission
Committee.
4. Since the Assembly has le&#6684788; the decision to the Executive Committee to
determine the incidental expense incurred by the general workers, and in
asmuch as there is a set amount by the gove&#7471214;ment &#6684783;r an executive worker to
receive, we recommend that this matter be left to the Executive Committee to
act as circumstances may necessitate.
5. The Assembly recommends that the sum of $200 received each month by
the General Headquarters Workers and the State Overseers appointed by the
General Overseer be designated &#6684783;r 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 &#6684783;r income tax purposes
only, and involves no extra allotment.)
6. Whereas, by an act of the Assembly, the Radio Department has been
changed and now is referred to as the Communications Department, we
recommend that, when it is feasible to produce television programs, the mat
ter of finance be le&#6684788; to the discretion of the Executive Committee.
7. The Assembly recommends the continuance of the Overseer's convention
love o&#6684774;ering, and we encourage everyone to stand by your Overseer with your
offering. It has been brought to our attention that in a &#6684773;w cases there was ex
ercised some extremity in raising the convention o&#6684774;ering for the Overseer by
making it to become competitive and compulsory giving. We &#6684773;el that this ef
&#6684783;rt should be a genuine love o&#6684774;ering rather than it becoming competitive or
compulsory. We do not intend to discourage the Assembly Band Movement
Secretary's planning which would help to boost the Overseer's love o&#6684774;ering;
however, any such planning should be executed by voluntary response. Also,
that emphasis be given by the pastor to the Overseer's &#6684783;urth Sunday o&#6684774;ering
when receiving it. Should there not be sufficient fourth Sunday o&#6684774;ering 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 ex
penses of the Overseers of not self-supporting states be le&#6684788; to the discretion of
the Executive Committee.
8. We recommend that $100 be contributed from the general &#6684789;nds &#6684783;r each
$100 contributed &#6684786;om the state &#6684789;nds for the purpose of opening up new &#6684777;elds,
and that the amount for any one state be limited to $1,000, with special con
sideration given to not self-supporting states &#6684783;r additional help. In case a

160 MINUTES OF THE 71ST ANNUAL ASSEMBLY
state has no funds &#6684783;r this purpose and desires help from the General Head
quarters to open a new &#6684777;eld, the General Overseer and the General Treasurer
may use their discretion in assisting in such cases.
9. The Assembly recommends that the Emergency Fund be continued and
that each member pay $1 or the amount set by the World Mission Committee
where applicable into the Fund annually and that the present system of
collecting emergency funds be continued. We further recommend that since
these funds are urgently needed, each local church collect funds in full as soon
as possible and send them as collected with the local church treasurer's
monthly report.
10. The Assembly recommends that when an evangelist is engaged by the
pastor to conduct a revival in his local church, that each member be en
couraged to give a good o&#6684774;ering each night of the revival and that the total
amount of the o&#6684774;ering received go to the evangelist.
If a church is too small to su&#6684879;ciently support an evangelist, we recommend
that special fund raising projects be instituted prior to a scheduled revival, to
supplement the nightly o&#6684774;erings.
11. The Assembly recommends that sufficient amount of the general funds
be used to pay &#6684783;r the &#6684777;rst reprinting of tracts from the translations which
were salvaged from the White Wing Publishing House &#6684777;re of February, 1967,
and new translations and the &#6684777;rst printing of each in order for the demands to
be met more quickly. Those that are most urgent can be printed first.
We, therefore, recommend that the amount to be used for this work be left
to the discretion of the Executive Committee.
12. The Assembly recommends that the allotments of the Overseers outside
the United States continue to be set by the World Mission Committee ac
cording to the economic and monetary system of the different countries in
volved and that it be left to the discretion of the World Mission Committee
whether to print these amounts in the minutes as supplement to the Ways and
Means Committee Report. We also recommend that the &#6684777;nancial system of
the Church be compiled according to the economic conditions of the various
countries by the World Mission Committee listing all &#6684773;es and the amounts of
dues, etc., involving the di&#6684774;erent 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 &#6684773;lt by this Committee that the churches outside the
United States must be as well in&#6684783;rmed concerning the &#6684777;nancial 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 di&#6684774;erence shown be
tween an Overseer outside the United States who is a member of the Presby
tery and one in the United States; therefore, this Committee recommends that

MINUTES OF THE 71ST ANNUAL ASSEMBLY 161
where our intemationaf banking system is adopted, the Overseer come under
the tithe system reporting the amount of tithes received &#6684786;om his churches to
the General Overseer on the special report form, and when necessary the allot
ment be supplemented from the general tithes of each respective country or
territory.
Since the allotments of Overseers in other countries come under the
jurisdiction of the World Mission Committee, and these are set according to
the economic standard of each country, that the maximum allotment &#6684783;r
pastors in said countries, from tithes received in their local churches, be the
same as the allotment set by the World Mission Committee for the Overseer of
that country, if funds are available. Tithes received in excess of this amount
by the local churches be reported as surplus tithes, and treated as provided in
the Church's financial system outlined by the General Assembly.
We further recommend that the World Mission Department prepare a
notice of this amount in the native currency of each country and &#6684783;rward same
to the National Overseer for the information of the pastors.
When there is not su&#6684879;cient tithes to cover the allotments, we then recom
mend 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.
13. The Assembly recommends that all Victory Leaders Bands, Sunday
Schools, Mission, Church of Prophecy Marker Association, White Wing
Publishing House, Tomlinson Home for Children, and Bible Training In
stitute tithes be placed in the General Tithe Fund.
14. 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.
15. The Assembly recommends that 20 per cent of the state or national con
vention o&#6684774;erings of the Womens Missionary Band, Victory Leaders Band,
Sunday School, and Church of Prophecy Marker Association be left in the
state or national treasury &#6684783;r the purpose of state or national work.
16. The Assembly recommends that in case of any additional general
workers being appointed by the General Overseer, their allotments be deter
mined by the Executive Committee.
17. 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.

162 MINUTES OF THE 71ST ANNUAL ASSEMBLY
18. SUNDAY SCHOOL TITHES: It has been called to our attention that
several churches with the approval of their Sunday Schools, in receiving the
Sunday School o&#6684774;ering, receive only one offering; with portions of the o&#6684774;ering
to be used for di&#6684774;erent projects.
For example: A &#3014768;ortion &#6684783;r the operation of the Sunday School; a portion &#6684783;r
the &#6684780;ower fund; a portion &#6684783;r the building fund; etc.
The Assembly recommends only the money that is used &#6684783;r the operation of
the Sunday School is the portion that is to be tithed. This Committee calls to
your attention that Tomlinson Home &#6684783;r Children money should not be tithed
by the local church.
19. The Assembly has recommended that 10 per cent of state and national
convention o&#6684774;erings and Assembly o&#6684774;erings of the Tomlinson Home for
Children Fund be sent to General Headquarters for the General Property
Fund, and the same amount to Tomlinson College.
20. The General Treasurer send 10 per cent of the Assembly Mission and
Tomlinson Home &#6684783;r Children o&#6684774;erings &#6684786;om each state or country to the
respective state or national treasurer &#6684783;r 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 send 10 per cent of the Assembly Free
Literature o&#6684774;ering &#6684786;om each state or country to the respective state or
national treasurer &#6684783;r the general state or national fund.
21. The Assembly recommends that a love o&#6684774;ering be received for the dis
trict overseer in his district convention. If the district overseer is requested by
the State Overseer to per&#6684783;rm a duty involving considerable expense, the
State Overseer will be responsible &#6684783;r such expense.
22. We recommend that all Tomlinson College funds be received and dis
bursed by the General Church Treasurer, with the Executive Committee han
dling the matters of expense in the same way as &#6684783;r other departments.
23. This committee wishes to commend each one who has been faithful in
working in and raising funds through the auxiliaries, as it is by these e&#6684774;orts
that the message of the Church has spread throughout the world.
We urge each local church to operate each auxiliary as recommended by the
General Assembly, keeping the spiritual bene&#6684777;ts and financial needs be&#6684783;re
our members.
We want to urge each leader to continue to make known the purpose of each
auxiliary and to make known the blessings and helps the auxiliaries are to

MINUTES OF THE 71ST ANNUAL ASSEMBLY 163
each local church and the Church world-wide in carrying out the commission
of the Church. (Section 3, Minutes of 69th Assembly.)
24. We recommend that on Outreach Sunday (White Wing Messenger
Day), when a special o&#6684774;ering is boosted, that the people be encouraged to give
even more generously in support of the White Wing Publishing House and its
ministry. (Section 4, Minutes of 69th Assembly.)
25. The Assembly recommends that each pastor, state and national over
seer see to it that all monies received in his or her church, state or nation be
handled exactly as stated in the present &#6684777;nancial system of the Church with
which they should be fully &#6684769;miliar and also be responsible to see that all
monies are used only &#6684783;r the purpose &#6684783;r which it was given or raised. (Section
6, Minutes of 69th Assembly.)

Watchmen Committee Report
There have been several problems of a minor nature, which have been set
tled in a satisfactory manner. We wish to thank the Overseers throughout the
United States and other nations around the world, along with their wonderful
people for your understanding as the Committee performed the duties for
which we have been appointed.
Because of your kind cooperation we are able to report that the problems
have been less than in the past and that more respect has been shown to our
wonderful tabernacle that is now debt free. We continue to solicit the help of
everyone in keeping good order and showing respect to this beauti&#6684789;l building
as the house of God. We believe God gave it to us. Listen to the words of the
prophet:
"When the Lorq shall have washed away the filth of the daughters of Zion,
and shall have purged the blood of Jerusalem from the midst thereof by the
spirit of judgment, and by the spirit of bu&#7471214;ing.
"And the Lord will create upon every dwelling place of mount Zion, and
upon her assemblies, a cloud and smoke by day, and the shining of a flaming
fire by night: for upon all the glory shall be a de&#6684773;nce.
"And there shall be a tabernacle &#6684783;r a shadow in the daytime from the heat,
and for a place of refuge, and &#6684783;r a covert &#6684786;om storm and &#6684786;om rain," Isaiah
4:4-6.

1&#3538996; MINUTES OF THE 71ST ANNUAL ASSEMBLY
Since it proved so e&#6684774;ective last year, we would like to request again that
before next Assembly a letter be sent &#6684786;om the Superintendent of Operations
and the Tabernacle Manager to the Overseers explaining the need for better
order in our assemblies and continued respect be shown for our tabernacle and
its contents. Then, it would be well for the Overseers to write to each pastor
under their supervision requesting their help in continuing to improve the or
der in our assemblies.

The Assembly recommends that the Executive Committee be authorized
to adjust the allotments for pastors, State Overseers, and General Workers
from year to year, based on the previous year's cost of living index.
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 oniy, 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 for those ministering to non
supporting churches or missions, including pastors, evangelists, and/or others
appointed by the overseer; 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.

MINUTES OF THE 71ST ANNUAL ASSEMBLY 169
The Executive Committee agrees that all general workers appointed by
the General Overseer receive an allotment of $988 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.
Overseers in the United States are to receive no more than $988 a month,
plus an amount not to exceed $200 a month for office expenses from the
tithes r&#6619235;eived &#6684786;om 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 &#6684783;r the state work, especially
to assist pastors of weaker churches.
The Executive Committee agrees that the pastor receive an amount not to
exceed $988 a month from the tithes of the local church after General Head
quarters and the State Overseer have received their portions, if funds are
available. This does not include o&#6684774;erings and poundings received by the
pastor.
Overseers outside the United States receive an allotment in the currency
of the country or territory they represent in keeping with the economic
conditions of that country. These allotments are set 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 treasury 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
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.

ginning of the Assembly year with the last Sunday of December being set
aside as a rally day to &#6684777;nalize the collecting of these funds. This General Prop
erties Fund money should be mailed to the General Overseer or General Field

World Must Be Evangelized
lt 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

MINUTES OF THE 71ST ANNUAL ASSEMBLY 177
midnight the last Sunday in July at the church he is leaving and
automatically begin at the same time at the church to which he is moving.
2. Clerk. The clerk for the local church is appointed by the pastor and this
appointment should be made in the October quarterly conference. Either a
man or woman may serve as clerk and the same person may continue to serve
year after year. Care should be taken in appointing a person 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 receipts 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 his members into bands of ten or twelve and appoint a leader for
each band. The leader should keep in touch with each member of the band,
and if any should move away, communication should be kept up by
correspondence. This is for the mutual, spiritual, temporal, and social benefit
of the members. The pastor should keep in close touch with the band leaders
in all the work.
5. Local Trustees. Trustees to hold title to local church property are
selected by the local church in a regular or called business meeting and are
authorized to bargain, buy, sell, convey or 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 first
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.

178 MINUTES OF THE 71ST ANNUAL ASSEMBLY
July, and October for the regular quarterly meetings. If there is a demand for
it, a m&#6619237;ting may be called at any time by the pastor or state overseer. A
short business meeting may be held at the beginning or close of a meeting for
worship.
The pastor should act as moderator of all business m&#6619237;tings. If there is no
pastor, the state overseer has authority to act or appoint a licensed male
minister to preside. Where one pastor has the care of several churches, he may
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.

Advice to Members
As a member. you count one and should attend every regular service as far
as possible. Remember no one can fill your place and the service will be that
much dwarfed and crippled without your presence.
Show lo\'e and fellowship to e\'eryone without partiality. Don't wait for
others to greet _vou 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 \'Ocal prayer when called on or prompted by the Spirit.
Be read�· for testimony when such is in order.
Stand by �·our pastor or appointed leader and assist him in every way you
can.
Always pray silently for the preacher while he deli\'ers the message.
Always live a consecrated life at home and abroad so no one can justly think
or speak of you as a hypocrite.

180 MINUTES OF THE 71ST ANNUAL ASSEMBLY
Guard your conversation. Be careful whaL you say about a brother, sister,
or anyone else.
Don't be a critic and try to find something in others to criLici&#2883628;e.
Examine yourself occasionally and see if you are in the faith.
Don't yield to discouragement or despondency.
Be cheerful and happy and try to make others the same.
Spend as much time as you can in secret prayer. Give yourself all you can to
intercessory prayer. Daily prayers and study of God ·s Word are necessary
and very important for the spiritual welfare of each child of God; therefore,
everyone is urged to faithfully maintain as far as is possible family worship at
home at least once a day.
Your dress should be with moderation, neat and clean, but not for show.
Moderation includes paying moderate prices for clothing, wearing dresses of
high-enough necklines, low-enough hemlines, sleeves of reasonable length.
The wearing of extremely sheer fabrics is unbecoming to a saint and the
wearing of shorts in public should never be practiced. You should never wear
gold for ornament or decoration. Finger rings, bracelets, earrings, necklaces,
lockets and large showy pins-these are also unbecoming to a saint of God.
Rouge, lipstick, nail polish and extremely costly perfumes are used to satisfy
the pride of life and 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 everi if divorced. Neither should a member marry
anyone who has a living companion although such a person may be divorced.

MINUTES OF THE 71ST ANNUAL ASSEMBLY 181
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 all of the requirements in being examples to
the members by keeping their children under reasonable control at all times
and by restraining them from running about over the house of God, especially
while the services are in progress.
The White Wing Messenger is a very important part of the Church of God.
It 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. Every member who possibly can
should subscribe, and each minister is asked to be a "paid-up" subscriber and
an earnest worker for our church paper�the White Wing Messenger.
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
given.
Duties of Overseers

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.

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 &#7340143;ssible, 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 &#6815849;s 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 overs&#6619237;r.
