Prefatory Notes
"This has been a good Assembly." As the 72nd Annual General Assembly
was nearing its conclusion, this remark was being constantly voiced by the
25,351 registered delegates who had gathered &#6684786;om throughout the world &#6684783;r
this great conclave.
Even in the preliminary services at the local churches in the area there was
felt a spirit of closeness-of unity-that was to continue in evidence
throughout the entire week. In addition to the sunrise prayer services in the
Tabe&#7471214;acle many of the State and National Overseers met together early each
morning for special prayers. I understand these prayer meetings were powerful
and were permeated with a sense of closeness among the brethren. This
wonderful feeling then continued in the entire body of delegates throughout
the day.
The record registration of members and friends consisted of people from
around the globe. Nations represented were: Argentina, Australia, Bahamas,
Bermuda, Botswana, Brazil, Canada, Costa Rica, Cyprus, Dominican
Republic, Egypt, El Salvador, England, Germany, Greece, Haiti, Honduras,
Israel, Jamaica, Leeward Islands, Mexico, Netherlands Antilles, Nicaragua,
Paita:: ... �-, Puerto Rico, South A&#6684786;ica, Trinidad, Turks and Caicos Island,
Venezuela, Virgin Islands, and Zambia.
Every day we were made to feel the sweet presence of the Holy Ghost and
were assured that God's eyes were upon this great gathering of His Body. We
surely felt we were made to sit together in a "heavenly place" as we blended
our spirits in worshipping our wonderful Lord. And the same good spirit which
prevailed in the preaching, singing, and praying was also present in the
transaction of business presented to the Assembly.
Pre-Assembly events included: The Eighth 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.
We appreciate the good coverage provided by the news media as well as the
welcome extended by o&#6684774;icials of Cleveland and Bradley County.
Commendation is due all those individuals and departments who labored
&#6684769;ithfully to make this Assembly the success it was. To God be the glory for all
that was accomplished.
The 73rd Annual General Assembly will be held, God willing, September
12-18, 1978.

8:35 A Greater Than Solomon or Jonas Is Here-message and altar call
by R. B. Finlayson, Jr., Field Secretary. Excerpts: Matthew 12:38-42.
When Jesus came along they didn't recognize Him. They said Jonas was
great, but Jesus said that one greater than Jonas is here. The Queen of
Sheba heard about a man named Solomon. His fame went throughout the
world. One night in a dream God said to Solomon, "Whatever you want, I
wiH give it to you." Solomon asked for wisdom and understanding and this
pleased the Lord. The people remembered Solomon. Jesus said that Solomon
was a g&#7274607;d man, but a greater than Solomon is here.
Jesus asked the woman at the well for a drink of water. The woman asked
Him if He were greater than Jacob. Jesus told her, if you drink of what I have,
you shall have a well of water springing up in you unto life everlasting. She
wanted it; but, Jesus told her to go call her husband. She said she didn't have
one and Jesus told her she spoke the truth. You have had &#6684777;ve and the one you
have now is not your own. She told others to come see a man greater than
Jacob.

10 MINUTES OF THE 72ND ANNUAL ASSEMBLY
After an all-night prayer meeting, he &#6684783;und the mountain which we know
as Mt. Hittin. The sixth chapter of Luke tells of Jesus' picking the twelve
disciples. If you are going to stay in this, you can't go with the crowd. If you
abide in this, you are going to have to deny yourself and take up your cross
daily-not ideas nor opinions, customs, traditions, but the Word of God. I love
the Church because we take the whole Bible rightly divided. That is why the
brother in Jamaica could feel good-it is not an American Church. No more
Jews, no more Gentiles; but we are made to sit together in Christ Jesus.
Jesus said, after organizing the Church, "The works that I do, ye shall do
also." I am starting something on earth that is going to do greater works than I
did. When this Gospel goes, Christ is not leaving heaven and taking it. He is at
the right hand of the Father. While He was in the world, He was the light of
the world, but now "Ye are the light of the world." Some get evangelistic
minded and preach Christ cruci&#6684777;ed and &#6684783;rget about the Church. You can't
forget a man's body. The Church and Christ go together. The devil would love
to destroy the Church of God. The devil gets on the inside. That is how it was
destroyed the first time.
Paul says men are going to creep in unawares. They will shout with you;
speak in tongues with you; but &#6684783;rget the Advice to Members. But pastors, if
you allow your members to wear finger rings, ear rings, lockets, and you say
God will take care of it-&#6684783;rget it! Let us stand &#6684783;r the Church and the
doctrine. This is our safety. It is dangerous when we know more than the
Church. Some say, I will die for the Church. If you can't live for the Church,
you will never die for the Church. Hebrews 11 tells of some great men who
died in the faith. Abraham looked through faith and saw it, but here we are
in the last days Church of God.
Some say the Church is going down. You may be, but the Church is going
up. We are in the washing machine. It might hurt; but stick to the machine.
He is washing it and cleansing it by the washing of the water of the Word. It is
easy to misinterpret some things in the Bible. We say the Bible is infallible
and I believe it. Who wrote it? Men. Angels didn't write it. They were inspired
by God and wrote as the Holy Ghost moved upon them. Yes, we have Holy
Ghost &#6684777;lled leaders today. When they get a beep from God, that is just as
holy as when God told Peter to write. I know we have hypocrites, but they
will get washed out. Stick with it!

business &#6684783;r God and His Church. You have made a special effort to be here.
No doubt, you have had hindrances, but the Lord has kept us with the
victory. We give God the glory &#6684783;r all the things He has done. He has brought
us this far by faith.
"The General Overseer nor Sta&#6684774; could have the Assembly without you. You
are an important part of the Church of God. Your being here helps to make
the General Assembly of the last days. Many of you have read the Scripture
about the Church in the early days going to Jerusalem once a year to the &#6684773;ast.
We want this to be the yearly feast for the Church of God in these last
days. We want to feast on the Word of God. With us working together with
God we can have a glorious feast." Read James 1:2-17. All stood and prayed
silently.

Excerpts: Genesis 28:11-18; Luke 24:44. I am going to speak about the gap
between earth and heaven. Most of us are familiar with the story of Jacob
and his brother because it is pertaining to the Church of God. Another

12 MINUTES OF THE 72ND ANNUAL ASSEMBLY
thing in this Scripture is the promise of God to patriarchs Abraham, Isaac,
and Jacob. Most of the time we think of prophecy as prophets speaking words
that God has given to them. In this incident, the Lord chose to speak about
the Church to Jacob and make him realize His program. When God revealed
the Church to Peter and the other Apostles, He spoke out the truths of
heaven. God intervened and assisted Christ in declaring what the revelation
was. Here God not only takes care of giving this message to Abraham and
Isaac, but He suddenly comes into the life of Jacob and he realizes fully what
he is in.
Re&#6684773;rred to Genesis 28. Jacob's &#6684769;ther decided he should be care&#6684789;l in
marriage. Jacob moved along to find a wife. He was traveling and stopped
and took some stones for a pillow and lay down to sleep. The Bible says,
"Behold a ladder set upon earth." Jacob saw this ladder, and it was in
relation to the Church. Only God can design such a ladder. "And behold the
angels of God ascended and descended on it." We always think of a ladder
in terms of going up and don't stop to think we are going to come back
down. On the top of the ladder the Lord stood above it. God didn't need a
ladder to talk to Jacob because He had talked to him many times. God had a
program and He was divulging His intentions &#6684783;r us.
Jacob awoke and said, "Surely the Lord is in this place and I knew it not."
He said, "This is none other but the house of God, and this is the gate of
heaven." God's families through Jacob had to be housed. He looked up this
ladder reaching all the way to heaven, and Jacob realized this was a big
program of God. He arose in the morning and took the stones he had used as
pillows and set it up &#6684783;r a pillar. Here we have ground and a pillar. In the
New Testament, 1 Timothy 3:15, God speaks about His House as the Pillar
and Ground of the Truth. This had to be an exact type of the New Testament
Church. Jacob poured oil on top of the pillar. Oil in the Bible represents the
Holy Ghost and the oil is to lead us into all truths. Jacob had to exemplify the
leader of truth, the third person of the Trinity.
He established the Church on earth-the pillar and ground of truth. He
began to prepare the Church because He was going to pour a little oil on the
Church. Here we sit this afte&#7471214;oon in the Church of God. Do we really under
stand what we are involved in? Do we think of the immensity of the honor
that God has bestowed upon us to take God's program into all the world, to
actually finish the time for this world and its existence? We can't do this
mission by ourselves.
Let's go back to Jacob and consider what else he experienced in that
place. He poured oil upon top of it and called that place Bethel. Jacob vowed
a vow: If God be with me and will keep me in this way that I go and will
give me bread to eat and raiment to put on so that I can come again in my
father's house in peace, then shall the Lord be my God. And this stone which
I have set forth as a pillar shall be God's house. And of all thou shall give me I
shall surely give a tenth unto thee.
We made a vow with God when we joined the Church. We took the covenant.
We got a vision of this Church and realized God has set up a ladder. This is the

MINUTES OF THE 72ND ANNUAL ASSEMBLY 13
way God works in His Church-through the General Assembly, the highest
tribunal in the Church. Jesus asked those men, "Whom do men say that the
Son of Man is?" Some wonder why did God reveal the Church introducing
Jesus? That is the way He did to Jacob-He presented Himself to Jacob. The
head of the Church was going to be Jesus Christ, and God wanted men to
understand who was going to be the head of the Church of God.
Jesus declared the house. He told Peter, "Upon this rock, I will build my
church." You have to dig down until you hit solid ground &#6684783;r a pillar. God
reached the ground, and He set a ladder on it. He established a church on this
earth. We haven't reached the top. We are still building. There is still a gap
there as far as we are concerned, but not God. It is a divine institution.
That ladder hasn't gone away. All the time angels have been ascending and
descending, ministering to the program. God is ministering to His Church.
God has allowed Jesus to stand at the top of that ladder and watch what goes
up and down. Jesus said, "I am the door." You can't get in that gate unless
you go up that ladder just right, and He has revealed the fundamentals of the
Church through the General Assembly.

Flippo at piano. Testimony by Chip Hawkins.
3:33 Comments by Director: We have heard a lot recently about retiring
&#6684786;om the ministry. For Biblical examples of possible parallel to retirement,
we go to the Old Testament which is a type and shadow of things to come. The
duty was given to the tribe of Levites and they were to serve the Lord and the
Israelites through their ministry in the tabernacle. The tabe&#7471214;acle was what
we call today a worship center, or the church. But there, the presence of God
dwelt among the people. Sacrifices were o&#6684774;ered &#6684783;r the atonement of sins,
and the people were annually reconciled with God through the blood sprinkled
on the Mercy Seat by the High Priest. The priests were trained men set apart
for priestly duties of God and as a mediator between God and the people.
Their speci&#6684777;c duties are stated in Exodus, Leviticus and Numbers. Numbers
8:24-26.
It appears that these brethren, after the age of &#6684777;fty years, didn't quit serving
the Lord or per&#6684783;rm service in the tabe&#7471214;acle, but they took up lighter
duties. Their advice was sought and they were asked to look after the younger
ministers. God didn't want their knowledge wasted. This should be an
example for us. They were not cast aside, but their knowledge was sought
after. We need to honor the good service of these brethren who marched
down the aisle. Ifwe follow the type and shadow of the Old Testament, we will
&#6684777;nd there is truly a place for these people to continue to serve in the Church.
I am a&#6684786;aid we oftentimes want to relegate these people into oblivion. We can
lea&#7471214; many things from them.

Report of the Tomlinson Home for Children Board of Directors
We, the Board of Directors of the Tomlinson Homes for Children, express
our sincere thanks to God and the local churches for the spiritual and material
support rendered this past Assembly year. We thank our State and National
Overseers, state and national Sunday school secretaries, pastors, superin
tendents, members and &#6684786;iends of the Church &#6684783;r their wonderful response
to the immediate needs of our homes. May God richly bless you for this
display of love.
During this year the Superintendent visited all the Tomlinson Homes for
Children which now have a total of 258 children.
We appreciate the directors of the homes for their faithful work: INDIA,
Brother D. Joseph and wi&#6684773;; INDONESIA, Brother Sontang Pardede and

Due to your faithful support with these special projects along with the
regular convention and Assembly o&#6684774;erings, we have been able to make the
&#6684783;llowing improvements:
CLEVELAND-Carpeted each home, purchased a new van &#6684783;r girl's home.
INDIA-Built a new dining hall, purchased a new refrigerator, cots &#6684783;r the
boys to sleep on, and a van and bicycle.
INDONESIA-Built a new kitchen, purchased appliances and a van.
MEXICO-Sent money to purchase farm equipment to cultivate the land,
also purchased a van.
KOREA-Built a new library.
Sister Anna Jensen contacted us about the property at Keeline, Wyoming.
She has donated the property to the orphanage so that it may be used for a
new home for children. Superintendent John A. Stubbs made two trips to
Wyoming to see the property. The State Human Service Department was
contacted about the possibility of a &#6684783;ster home, and they replied that there
was a need for one there. They also stated that they would &#6684789;lly co-operate
with us in a new home &#6684783;r children. They also suggested that a ranch setting
was a good idea for a home, and that it has proven to be very successful in
other areas.
We are having title research done. We also have plans for title insurance,
and plans to have something done toward the development soon. A new well
and house need to be constructed &#6684783;r this project. The ranch and the
buildings are in good condition.
We have satisfactorily complied with state regulations regarding housing
and administration and have been relicensed with an "A" rating &#6684783;r the year
1977-78. The Board of Directors desire your continued prayers that God will
grant us wisdom and knowledge in the supervision and direction of the
operations of the homes. &#7929974; e continually strive to upgrade and properly direct

18 MINUTES OF THE 72ND ANNUAL ASSEMBLY
4:28 An Inspirational Flag Drill by Virginia Victm:y Leaders. History of the
Church Flag was read as portions of songs were intermingled for emphasis.
4:48 "I Pledge Allegiance to Our Church Flag and to the Doctrine for
Which It Stands ... "-message by Larry Bell. Excerpts: There are so many
false causes that today we are afraid to pledge our allegiance for any cause
for &#6684773;ar it might be a false cause. Allegiance is the tie of a person to his
government. It's easy to say we love the Church, but this is a very unfaithful
generation. To be like-minded means to have the same purpose-the same
desire and the same goal. We have come to this Assembly to renew our
allegiance to the Body of Christ and our subjection to Jesus and the Church
of God of Prophecy. We are admonished in the Scriptures to love one another.
When the body of Christ is not loved, the Church is in trouble.
An army needs to be unified in purpose and objective. Joel 2:7. Joel wrote
a prophecy about the army of God which we are a part of. He said not one of
them would break their ranks. God's army must be unified to successfully
fight this present day battle against &#6684769;lse doctrine. 1 Timothy 4:16. What the
Apostle Paul was getting through to Timothy was to continue. The Apostle
Paul said that after he departed that men would arise speaking perverse
things to draw disciples after them. In 2 Timothy 2:16-18, we can see what
some of these things were. False doctrine has a way of sneaking in on us.
We must guard false doctrine so it will not rub off on us.
Recently a young man came to me who used to belong to the Church. He
asked me if the Church is as strict today as it used to be. I said, "Yes, it is."
The Church has not changed. The doctrine has not changed. The advice to
members has not changed. We can go to movies if we want to; go mixed
swimming, but the Advice to Members still says it is wrong. It is not the
standard that has gone down; but it is you and I who have gone down.
Jeremiah said, "Set up a standard in the land." Our standard today is the
whole Bible. There is a spirit of rebellion today-rebellion against the
government, rebellion against the o&#6684774;ice of the President. The tragedy of it all
is that rebellion has found its way into the hearts of God's people. When
peo
p
le rebel against Church of God doctrine, against the Church teachings,
agamst every leader and all the Church represents, this rebellion has gone too
far.
Our &#6684780;ag represents the Bible and truth-not false doctrine nor man's
creeds. We can grumble and complain about our teaching on divorce and
remarriage, but the truth is going to stand. The Word of God will not change.
Lowering our standard would mean changing the Word of God. Our &#6684780;ag
stands &#6684783;r truth. The truth will stand. The truth will stand when all the
blind have been led into the ditch by the blind, when all the itching ears will
have been scratched, when satan will have done all he could to overthrow
it-the Banner of truth will still be waving a sign to the world. 5:25 Announcements and Adjournment.

8:42 Live Voice of Salvation Radio Program. Grace Does Much More
Abound-message by Communications Minister, Robert J. Pruitt. Excerpts:
The Apostle Paul had an unusual experience when he was caught up into the
third heaven called paradise. It was an exalting experience, and the apostle
was aware of the temptation to exalt himself above his fellow believers. God
was aware of the disruptive dangers involved in such an experience, so in His
wisdom, He allowed a governor placed upon Paul to remove the threat. Paul
called this governor a "thorn in the flesh," and defined it as the messenger
of satan to bu&#6684774;et him. This "thorn in the &#6684780;esh" must have been a grievous
experience because Paul sought God three times to remove it. God's answer
to Paul's prayer was, "My grace is su&#6684774;icient &#6684783;r thee." That grace is what
this message is about.
One hears so much about deliverance today that it would seem it is
desirable above everything else. God reminded Paul that the thorn in the
flesh was necessary to the right relationship between him and God and others.
It never overcame him because of the all-sufficient grace of God.
We are reminded of His grace throughout the Old and New Testaments.
It is manifested in many ways to all people. Even those who reject God are
recipients of His grace because every breath comes only by it. The abundance
of sin in the world is no problem to God because where sin abounds, grace
abounds more. The abundance of sin only exposes more of His grace. It is as
real to the individual as it is to the multitude or the nation. Whosoever will
may draw upon it. When doubts, discouragements, threats to the marriage

20 MINUTES OF THE 72ND ANNUAL ASSEMBLY
and home abound, grace does much more abound. When everything else &#6684769;ils,
the all-su&#6684879;cient grace of God is still there. Isaiah 59:19. You may take that as
a personal promise &#6684786;om Almighty God. Yes, sin abounds in the world, but
there is the grace of God. It is the answer to all man's problems and it is
the assurance of ete&#7471214;al life. Titus 2:11. The grace of God can recapture that
love &#6684783;r companion, children, loved ones, &#6684786;iends and to God. (Brother Pruitt

Several of our older films have been repaired with new inserts.
One church in South Carolina was 100% in C.P.M.A. membership for this

forward and paid their membership for this next year.
In Pennsylvania some of the film has been shown in the United Church

We hope the films have been a blessing to each who have seen them.

10:07 What's Happening in Fields of the Wood-Nelson Raburn. In August
of last year, some members of the Open Bible Church came to Fields of the
Wood to do a documentary &#6684777;lm. They took the film to any church who
would receive it. Others coming to view Fields of the Wood with exclamations
of its beauty were: a dairy farmer from New Zealand, a Dutchman and his
wife, a priest &#6684786;om the Catholic church with some nuns and other people. The
Public Relations Director of Rock City, Lookout Mountain, Tennessee, goes
to Fields of the Wood for his days o&#6684774;.
Coming to Fields of the Wood this year: 291 buses consisting of 9,757
people from 256 groups; 124 have been baptized.
10:50 June 13 on Mt. Hittin described by Darrell Creel and Terry Mahan.
They took turns telling highlights. T&#6946874;iey had a van and volkswagen full from
the Jerusalem church. Coming over the hill, we saw the Israeli and Church
flags waving beautifully in the breeze. At the bottom of the hill was an army
truck. There were fifty Israeli soldiers sitting there with machine guns and
rifles. Our lawyer was there and he said that the captain of this group wanted
them to be there during the service if agreeable. We had arrangements for
the service to be translated into Arabic and we had to get a translator &#6684783;r
Hebrew. Brother Mahan preached about a hand&#6684789;l of corn on top of the
mountain. Brother Creel told about our other markers in Israel. They wanted
to know why we were there. They told of the possibility of having a marker
at Bethel. Their eyes lit up because that is their territory. The thing they
questioned the most and looked at during the whole program was the Church
flag. It was a thrill to tell them that we worship the same God they do.
Continue to pray &#6684783;r this door that was opened to us. A guide said he
wanted more information about our flag and our organization. He goes there
every week with at least fifty soldiers and many of his friends are leaders
of groups of soldiers. We have sent them some information on the flag and
plan to send a small Church flag to the gentlemen. We thank God for the
miracle that transpired on Mt. Hittin June 13.

10:58 Weighed and Found Wanting-Demonstration by C. S. Pennington,
interpreted in Spanish by Felix Garcia. (A large balance-type scale was on
the platform.) Excerpts: Daniel 5. Belshazzar had gone to the house of God
and taken vessels. He put the wrong material in them to drink. Belshazzar
knew better because his father had failed God. We have seen people fail, and
we know better than to walk in the same tracks. Belshazzar went in the
same rut his grandfather had gone. Proverbs 16:25. We need to go God's
way. The value of the human body is very little, but "God has chosen man
and ordained man that he should go and bring &#6684783;rth fruit, and that his &#6684786;uit
should remain." John 15:16; 1 Samuel 5:3.
Saul went under the command of Samuel and smote the Amalekites. He
brought the king alive. He was supposed to have gotten rid of the king and
destroyed everything. Everything looked so good he had to bring it back. Saul
confessed that he had transgressed the commandment of the Lord. His reason
was because he feared the people and obeyed their voices. He was &#6684783;und
wanting. We can't try our ideas and opinions and please God Almighty nor
the Church of God.
Joshua 7. I can imagine many times we find ourselves bogged down and
unable to move because of hindrances among us. We need to be up and about
our Father's business and not staying in the same place. Achan was weighed
by his testimony, "I have sinned against the Lord God oflsrael." He took some
of the spoil for himself. One man had the whole thing tied down. Joshua
went on his face begging God &#6684783;r deliverance.

MINUTES OF THE 72ND ANNUAL ASSEMBLY 25
11:10 Let's Go On Again-message by C. S. Pennington, General Secre
tary. Excerpts: In the General Assembly in 1943, A. J. Tomlinson encouraged
more attention to be given to "on to per&#6684773;ction." I &#6684773;el today we should do
more about it. A. J. Tomlinson went on to say that a part of the standard
requirement would be every member saved, sanctified, filled with the Holy
Ghost, trusting the Lord &#6684783;r healing, tithing, emergency dollars, raising
attendance in auxiliaries, reasonable o&#6684774;erings, pastors operating properly,
and whatever else it required to meet the standard of a perfect church.
When I review the Honor sheets, I find some churches not having the
Sacrament service or feet washing in one year. Others do not have the
auxiliaries organized and some have never reported to General Headquarters.
We need to move.
Ephesians 4:11. No need &#6684783;r people to be in the dark. The Church has a
standard we must meet be&#6684783;re we become a member. They must be saved,
willing to walk in the light, and not wear gold &#6684783;r ornament. The Church is
against the use of tobacco, opium, morphine; teaches total abstinence from
liquor or strong drinks; against belonging to lodges; against divorce and
remarriage. Isn't it strange how all of these are laid aside to become a member
of the Church, and right away some will go back to the same things. I am
talking about getting away &#6684786;om those things. I wonder, are we a&#6684786;aid to
preach the truth? The minist&#7471225; is given &#6684783;r the per&#6684773;cting of the Church.
Somebody is going to be responsible. Sometimes our people begin dabbling
in the ways of the world, and feel that they can do just like other people. We
are heading for perfection, and there comes a time when perfection must
outweigh the imperfection. How about getting on the scales? Galatians 5:7.
We have good people who, at one time, ran with all their lives &#6684783;r the Church.
Many of them quit running that way and are trying to tear down everything
they can. Philippians 2:5-7; 3:15. We have made it this far. I am glad for
the experiences I have had. I am glad I have a pure heart. Let the world have
its own, but let us go on to perfection.
Have you ever noticed Uncle Sam's training program? The Army, Navy,
Marines and Air Force prepare men for special service. It is hard sometimes.
We may not understand it all, but if we will fall in line and be obedient to
those over us in the Lord, we will walk by the same rule, we will mind the
same thing, and you will find us moving along with the right group. Colossians
1:28. Jesus loved the Church of God and gave Himself for it that He might
sanctify it with the washing of the water by the Word; that He might present
it to Himself a glorious Church without spot or wrinkle or any such thing; that
it should be holy and without blemish. (Jean Coalter led in singing, '' 'Tis A
Glorious Church" and "When the Church of God Arises.")

Overseer.

7:26 Song by Betty Lawrence and son. But What Are They Among So
Many?-message by Benjamin Lawrence, General Home Mission Worker.
Excerpts: The ultimate goal of the Church is to win the lost to Christ
and the other sheep to the one &#6684783;ld. Ephesians 10:10; John 10:16. The Church
of God is here, and the Church must preach the message. We have to have
con&#6684777;dence in ourselves and con&#6684777;dence in what we believe. We must think
and preach positively. There are organizations who have more people, more
money, but that does not change the fact that we are the Church.
God wants us to present our bodies·as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable
unto Him. The same Jesus who blessed the &#6684777;ve loaves of bread and the two
&#6684777;shes is the Head of the Church. He gave us an epidemic of soul saving
and growth of the Church. Psalm 72:16. He is saying, don't be deceived
because they are going to start out with just a hand&#6684789;l. They are going to
&#6684780;ourish like the grass of the earth. He didn't call everybody, but He called
whom He would. Some say this is not where the Church was organized, but
the Scripture said that He ordained twelve that they should be with Him
that He might send them to preach. This had to be it. You don't ordain
somebody in something that is not organized. If it took men inspired by the
Holy Ghost to write the Bible, it is going to take men with the Holy Ghost

M&#10354850;ES OF &#5505096;E 72ND ANNUAL ASSEMBLY 29
to understand it. Isaiah 28:10. The Bible is like a puzzle. When you slide the
pieces in place, it is a picture. No wonder the writer said, "Where there is no
vision the people perish."
When Jesus asked, "Whom do ye say that I am?" Peter rose up and got hold
of a piece where it says, "out of Galilee have I called my Son." Peter got
another piece where it said, "Thou shall be called A Nazarene." Another
piece says, "They shall give sight to the blind. He shall cause the lame to
walk and the dumb to talk." Matthew 16: 16-18. Some say He built a church
upon Peter's &#6684769;ith, but He didn't because Peter, after that, denied the Lord
three times. He built the Church upon divine revelation and a mutual
understanding. In the midst of different doctrines, God can help you slide the
pieces into place and see the divine Church.
In theocracy, you only have one General Headquarters, one highest tribune
of authority. Each of their interpretations were di&#6684774;erent which divided them.
Isaiah prophesied about the falling away. Constantine made a cross and put
it on his shoulder; walked through the streets and said, "Your God shall be
my God." The bishops in a meeting with Constantine, accepted the Nicene
Creed. The Church became a part of the Roman government and it was
covered over with creeds and doctrines of men. It plunged into the Dark Ages.
About 1,600 years passed and God began to let a little light shine. Martin
Luther began to preach justi&#6684777;cation by faith. People were saved, revivals
broke out and the light of justi&#6684777;cation was shining.
A little later God began to let a little more light shine. John and Charles
Wesley preached sanctification by the blood of Jesus Christ. Somebody got
over zealous. Christ was to build the Church. A little later the Holy Ghost
&#6684773;ll; churches sprang up everywhere and that is where the Pentecostal
churches came from. The full gospel is to be preached by the Church and
the plan of salvation is just a part of the gospel. The Church must preach
salvation and the one fold. The Church was still covered with creeds and
doctrine&#3801199; of men.
It happened as the prophets prophesied. A. J. Tomlinson came &#6684786;om
Indiana to western North Carolina to Burger Mountain under heavy anoint
ing. Psalm 132:6. A. J. Tomlinson, under heavy anointing, climbed the
mountain. When he got to the top, he did not organize it; he &#6684783;und it. The
same thing happened to him that did to Peter when he got the pieces in
place. A. J. Tomlinson got the pieces together. God revealed it to him. And
he became the first member this side of the Dark Ages. Isaiah 60:1 was
fulfilled. The light is here. When it started out, it was just a handful. The
Church has grown. We must win the lost at any cost and the other sheep to
the one &#6684783;ld. All the sheep are going to be brought into the one &#6684783;ld.
(Asked General Overseer to stand.) This is not just another bishop, this is
the General Overseer of the Church of God. (General Sta&#6684774; stood.) This is
the General Overseer's Staff. (Overseers stood.) These are not just other
bishops, but they are appointed leaders. The Church is not struggling-we
may have many problems, but we are going to have victories on top of
victories. Don't worry about what they are doing on the outside, the gifts are

8:20 Who Shall Build the House?-message by Felix Garcia, World
Language Secretary. Excerpts: We are in a glorious work which is building
God's house. Haggai 1:1-8. For approximately seventy years Israel had been in
captivity and Judah suffered the same situation. The Lord's house was

MINUTES OF THE 72ND ANNUAL ASSEMBLY 35
destroyed. They were scattered throughout and taken into captivity. Psalm
137:1-6. They made a promise unto the Lord if He would forgive them. Now,
God is changing the scene and is allowing them to return to their beloved
Jerusalem which had been destroyed.
Seventy years passed, and sounds that were unfamiliar began to be heard.
They knew that God was again with Israel, and He began to move among
His people. When God is doing great things, everybody wants to get in the
act. When the adversaries of Judah and Benjamin heard that the children
of captivity builded the temple, they came to Zerubbabel and to the chiefs
and said unto them, "Let us build with you for we seek your God." The
chiefs of the fathers of Israel said unto them, "Ye have nothing to do with
building a house unto our God. We will build under the Lord God of Israel
as King Cyrus had commanded." They had heard the sounds of joy for what
God was doing with Israel; they made fun of them. They didn't have any
interest until God manifested His power, and everybody wants in the picture.
The men of Israel knew that the world couldn't have any part of building
the house. This prophetic word is applicable to the Church today, because
the Church of God is the house of God and the work is going to be &#6684777;nished.
We must build without the contributions of the world. It won't be according
to our will, but according to God's theocratic will. Many would like to contri
bute, which seems sound advice; but God has a plan and we don't need to
add anything to this plan. We have to build according to His will and use
whatever He wants in the building. The success of this construction job
depends on the kind of material we use and where we get it. We have to
avoid man-made creeds and practices in the Church of God. Haggai 1:5-7.
What is this mountain? Hebrews 12:22-24. That is the mountain you and I
have to go to get our materials. We must be willing to contribute to its total
completion, using only material &#6684786;om this mountain which is the Church of
God. This is God's holy mountain, and you are at the top. There are people
in the house who belittle the covenant they have taken with God. I fear in
some areas we are accepting help from worldly denominations, and some are
disregarding the Church teachings and practices. Please do not take in a
member without explaining the twenty-nine teachings. Don't get in a hurry
to bring members into the Church without them being aware of what kind of
material they need to be to fit in God's house.
Many disregard the Advice to Members. Where did the Advice to Members
come &#6684786;om? They came &#6684786;om the top of the mountain-the General Assembly.
Don't say they are old-&#6684769;shioned and put together by some old bishops with
radical minds. I rebuke that spirit in the name of Jesus. They came &#6684786;om
inspired leaders. I am afraid that some of our pastors have never read the
Advice to Members in their churches. It is your fault if the members go astray.
I am worried about you who accept the customs and practices of the world
in exchange for the rulings and practices of the General Assembly. It has been
recommended by the General Assembly that we use our Sunday School
literature. The last days Church of God must be as decisive to keep the
world out as was Joshua and Zarrubabel. If we deviate &#6684786;om the Church's
teachings, God becomes displeased. It is sad for a faithful church to become

36 MINUTES OF THE 72ND ANNUAL ASSEMBLY
wanting because of internal decay and corruptness. I have joined with the
Church of God to renounce worldliness. We cannot live in harmony with the
world and expect the spirit of God to be mani&#6684773;sted in the Church. I am in
&#6684769;vor of public relations to inform the world of what we stand for. Never
mislead anyone to believe we are seeking outside help to build the Church
of God. This does not mean we are not gathering together the children of God
into one &#6684783;ld, but we must teach them what the Bible requires of the Church
of God. Lukewarmness will be rejected by God. Christ does not want any
member of the Church lost, but He wants us to build the Church with the
pure doctrine of the Bible. Let the mighty Holy Ghost come into your life
and guide you into all truth. Who, then, will build the Church of God?

me my people, draw close. I will bless you and lead you and direct all of your

9:15 Stirred to Remember-message by C. L. Summerall. (Prayer)
Excerpts: 2 Peter 1:13-21. We have a tendency to &#6684783;rget the things we
should remember and sometimes remember things we should &#6684783;rget. Paul
spoke to us about &#6684783;rgetting the things that are behind us; he pressed toward
the high calling of God. Matthew 17:1-6. Peter &#6684769;iled to tell that which
preceded the voice coming from the Father acknowledging Him as His only
begotten Son. Peter was a witness there with James and John. The raiment
of Jesus was glistening as the light and His face was shining as the sun,
a wonderful thing to see. Peter made some suggestions that he did not
especially want to be reminded of, so he didn't put it in his account of
this incident. With the appearance of Jesus on the mountain and also Moses
and Elias appearing with Him, we see the length of the law and the prophets
and the ones who brought grace and truth into this world. We see the
harmony of our blessed God exhibited here throughout the entire ages of
man's existence.
Out of a cloud, a voice was heard: "This is my beloved son, in whom I am
well pleased. Hear ye him." Peter did not. give an account of the last part
of that message-"Hear ye Him." He wanted the people to know that the

MINUTES OF THE 72ND ANNUAL ASSEMBLY 37
day of the law and the prophets had passed. He wanted them to hear
Jesus, the Son of God, the mediator-Him and the new covenant that was
established through grace. A more sure thing than a vision is the Word of
God that changes not. God has not given a vision contrary to His divine
Word. We are living in a time when we need something that will stand
when everything else may be changing. The Scripture was given by Holy
men of God as they were moved by the Holy Ghost. So many times people
try to interpret the Word of God when they are not holy men of God. If you
and I as ministers of the Church of God execute our duties, we will help
people understand these teachings of our blessed Lord. Let us walk in the
light of our understanding.
The message of the Church of God must go into all the world. Some
generation will do it. If not this generation, then another will do it. Are we
moving too slowly? How do we know the Lord doesn't want an early wedding?
Maybe we'd better hurry. The wise man said that the king's business
requires haste. Proverbs 22:13. So many times hindrances come. Some are
imaginery and some are real. We may say that the time is not right, or we
don't have the finance, or we don't know the right people. God knows the
right people. He can touch the hearts that He wants to do something for Him.
There are many adversaries out there who will oppose the truth of God,
but God has always made a way, and He will today if we take the initiative
and go forth in His Word and in His name. If we will go &#6684783;rth in the name
of the Lord, we can do what God wants us to do. God has worked through
one man &#6684783;r the bene&#6684777;t of all of His people. Abraham, Jacob, Isaac, Moses,
and Joshua appointed their committees and they had elders who were quali
fied to serve, but God worked through one man. When God got ready
to do something in the church in the wilde&#7471214;ess, He did not say I want to
&#6684783;rm a committee; He did not say sit down and we can talk this thing out.
He dealt with one man, yet in the interest of an entire nation. God's plan
has not changed.

INTRODUCTION
When we consider the goodness of the Lord in allowing us to come together
for this 72nd Annual General Assembly this side of the Dark Ages, we might
well say with the prophet Jeremiah concerning God's mercies and compas
sions:
"They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness." (Lamentations
3:23)
We know the Lord is faithful. We are assured of the faithfulness of His
promises as far back as the covenant He· made with Abraham, which still
holds good today. The writer to the Hebrews tells us:
"For when God made promise to Abraham, because he could swear by no
greater, he sware by himself,
"Saying, Surely blessing I will bless thee, and multiplying I will multiply
thee.
"And so, after he had patiently endured, he obtained the promise.
"For men verily swear by the greater: and an oath for confirmation is to
them an end of all stri&#6684773;.
"Wherein God, willing more abundantly to shew unto the heirs of promise
the immutability of his counsel, confirmed it by an oath:
"That by two immutable things, in which it was impossible for God to lie,
we might have a strong consolation, who have fled for refuge to lay hold upon
the hope set before us:
"Which hope we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and stedfast .... "
(Hebrews 6:13-19)
Many years earlier, David wrote:
"I will sing of the mercies of the Lord for ever: with my mouth will I make
known thy faithfulness to all generations.
"For I have said, Mercy shall be built up &#6684783;r ever; thy faith&#6684789;lness shalt thou
establish in the very heavens.
"I have made a covenant with my chosen, I have sworn unto David my ser
vant,
"Thy seed will I establish for ever, and build up thy throne to all genera
tions. Selah." (Psalm 89:1-4)
While we can rejoice in saying of God, "Great is thy faithfulness," we are
aware that a way has been made through His Son's death and resurrection for
us to be faithful also. While it is all of mercy and compassion, it is no less ours
by grace through faith. Hallelujah!
This does not mean that the way is always smooth. Discouragements
struggle to lay hold upon us and devour us: But, 0 thank the Lord, He is
faithful to His covenant, and His unfailing word of promise gives us hope as an
anchor of the soul!
Many here today have traveled a rough road through the years, but you
have been faithful. Many have preached the sound doctrine of the Bible and
the Church of God while the enemy walked about as a roaring lion seeking to

MINUTES OF THE 72ND ANNUAL ASSEMBLY 39
devour you. But today you can say to the Lord, "Great is thy faithfulness."
There is coming a time when all who cling to that blessed hope will hear the
joyful sound, "Well done, thou good and faithful servant: thou hast been
faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou
into the joy of thy Lord." (Matthew 25:21)
Let us go back to the prophet Jeremiah-the man w&#6881434;o, in a period oflamen
tation over the failures of the unfaithful, could look beyond it all and declare,
"The mercies of God are new every .mo&#7471214;ing: great is thy &#6684769;ithfulness."
Jeremiah was a &#6684769;ithful prophet. He was young when the Lord called him. He
said:
"Ah, Lord God! behold, I cannot speak: &#6684783;r I am a child.
"But the Lord said unto me, Say not, I am a child: &#6684783;r thou shalt go to all
that I shall send thee, and whatsoever I command thee thou shalt speak.
"Be not afraid of their faces: for I am with thee to deliver thee, saith the
Lord.
"Then the Lord put forth his hand, and touched my mouth. And the Lord
said unto me, Behold, I have put my words in thy mouth." (Jeremiah 1:6-9)
Jeremiah was anointed most often to expose the people's sins and to give
them warnings from the Lord. No doubt he would have enjoyed delivering a
more positive message, but God had put His words in His prophet's mouth.
On one occasion he cried, "Oh that my head were waters, and mine eyes a
fountain of tears, that I might weep day and night for the slain of the daughter
of my people!" (Jeremiah 9:1) He has been called the weeping prophet.
But his message was scorned, and one time he was put in a dungeon for
preaching truth that the rulers did not want to hear. One incident makes us to
know that Jeremiah tasted the bitterness of an unappreciated ministry. They
had put him in the stocks, and in the morning they brought him out, possibly
hoping he would bow to their demands and preach smooth things to them. The
prophet was faithful to his calling and pronounced their doom; however, the
enemy must have been standing close by with his weapon of discouragement,
for we read Jeremiah's testimony in his 20th chapter:
"O Lord, thou hast deceived me, and I was deceived: thou art stronger than
I, and hast prevailed: I am in derision daily, every one mocketh me.
"For since I spake, I cried out, I cried violence and spoil; because the word of
the Lord was made a reproach unto me, and a derision, daily.
"Then I said, I will not make mention of him (the Lord), nor speak any
more in his name. But his word was in mine heart as a burning fire shut up in
my bones, and I was weary of &#6684783;rbearing, and I could not stay."
Here was a man faithful to his calling. Discouragement could not prevail
when the &#6684777;re of God's Word began to burn in his bones. For a moment he was
weary with preaching to his persecutors, but very shortly he was even more
weary with &#6684783;rebearing. So he took up the armor and performed the will of the
Lord. On every side they dared him, then watched to see what he would do.
They sought to entice him that they might take revenge on him, but notice his
encouraging words:
"But the Lord is with me as a mighty terrible one: therefore my persecutors
shall stumble, and they shall not prevail: they shall be greatly ashamed; &#6684783;r

40 MINUTES OF THE 72ND ANNUAL ASSEMBLY
they shall not prosper: their everlasting confusion shall never be &#6684783;rgotten."
Jeremiah prophesied in the day of Judah's decline, which in some ways was
similar to the decline of the early Church prior to the Nicene Council. We are
notJiv-ing in the time of "the great falling away," which is past; but we are
grieved to see individuals &#6684783;rsake their once faithful stand, evidently
forgetting how great is the faith&#6684789;lness of God. Those of us who still have the
&#6684777;re of God's truth in our bones have lived to see the day when some who were
once of like precious faith with us now deride us and endeavor to make our
message a reproach unto us. They would entice us away &#6684786;om the truth if our
faithfulness should lose its grip on that blest anchor of the soul.
But, thank the Lord, we know whom we have believed, and we are per
suaded that He is able to keep that which we have committed unto Him
against that day when the rewards will be given! Hallelujah!
Oh, we need tens of thousands of faith&#6684789;l Jeremiahs, who will &#6684773;ar God
rather than men-who will preach the doctrine of righteousness and true
holiness, and at the same time warn the unfaithful of their impending doom!
Let every &#6684769;ithful warrior in the Church of God keep the words of the Lord in
your mouth! Don't draw back, saying, "I am a child." The Lord told His
prophet not to say that, &#6684783;r He was with him to deliver him.
If we will preach and teach Church of God doctrine, and never change our
message to suit the times, the Lord will see us through. Our hearts may bleed
at times, and we may wish our heads were waters and our eyes a &#6684783;untain of
tears, so that we can weep as we feel like weeping over the-unfait&#7077993;&#6684789;l. But, 0
how wonderful it is to know that God has swo&#7471214; by Himself to ful&#6684777;ll His
promises to those who continue to believe!
THE ONE CHURCH OF PROPHECY
Since the beginning of our history in these last days, the Church of God has
taught that there is only one Church spoken of in the Scriptures. The Old
Testament bears this out in type and shadow, as well as in the positive
declarations of the prophets. The New Testament is the record of that one
Church, which was set in order by Christ Himseff and functioned as a visible
body of &#6684780;esh and blood members.
Most Christian groups recognize that the Bible teaches one Church, but
most of those groups think of the Church as an invisible body composed of all
believers in Christ. Without a divine revelation of the one Church, that theory
may seem satis&#6684769;ctory. The division among Christian groups today has .a ten
dency to make one visible, functioning Church seem impossible: but condi
tions do not alter the Scriptures.
In the type and shadow, Israel was not always the one holy nation we have
come to think of her as being. Israel in Egypt and at Mount Sinai is a clear
type. Though they were children of God, they were not a holy nation under
covenant until the events of Sinai. There God said to them, through Moses,
who was a type of Christ:
"Now therefore, if ye will obey my voice indeed, and keep my covenant,
then ye shall be a peculiar treasure unto me above all people: &#6684783;r all the earth
1s mme:

MINUTES OF THE 72ND ANNUAL ASSEMBLY 41
"And ye shall be unto me a kingdom of priests, and an holy n�tion. These
are the words which thou shalt speak unto the children of Israel.
"And Moses came and called for the elders of the people, and laid before
their faces all these words which the Lord commanded him.
"And all the people answered together, and said, All that the Lord hath
spoken we will do. And Moses returned the words of the people unto the
Lord." (Exodus 19:5-8)
My &#6684769;ther, A. J. Tomlinson, said it this way in the 35th Annual Assembly in
1940:
"Israel was Israel in Egypt while they were under the Pharaoh govern
ment, but they were not recognized as the church in the wilde&#7471214;ess until
God gave them the laws at Sinai to govern them. 'Church in the
Wilde&#7471214;ess,' said the sainted Stephen, the first martyr. (Acts 7:28) It
could have been said, 'God's government in the wildernss.' "
Many groups today are made up of Christians-children of God: but this
does not make them the Church of God, because He has already chosen His
Church. Since there is but one, these other children of God must come under
the one covenant and submit to God's Government.
It is a matter &#6684783;r concern today that there are some in the Church, by cove
nant, who do not accept the truth that they are in the One Church of the Bi
ble. One time the Lord spoke to the prophet Ezekiel concerning Israel's lack or
loss of vision. They were in captivity at the time. They had &#6684783;rsaken theocracy
and were no longer "The church in the Wilde&#7471214;ess," but God never ceased
reminding them of His will. Ezekiel says:
"And he said unto me, Son of man, the place of my throne, and the place of
the soles of my &#6684773;et, where I will dwell in the midst of the children of Israel for
ever, and my holy name, shall the house of Israel no more defile .... "
(Ezekiel 43:7)
Then the Lord mentioned some of Israel's defilements, saying that they
would have to put those things away be&#6684783;re He would dwell in their midst.
Then notice verses 10 and 11:
"Thou son of man, shew the house to the house of Israel, that they may be
ashamed of their iniquities: and let them measure the pattern.
"And if they be ashamed of all that they have done, shew them the form of
the house, and the fashion thereof .... "
In His foreknowledge, God knew what Israel would do; therefore, it is possi
ble that His words carried more meaning &#6684783;r the Church that would be es
tablished by His Son, since the Church would be His dwelling place &#6684783;rever,
and must be without spot or wrinkle, holy and without blemish.
It is true that some in the Church do not see it as the prophetic house of
God. In all fairness and love, we should do our best to show them the house, or
the Church. Then, if they will acknowledge the Scriptural vision, and the
necessity of accepting and obeying the Word of God in its entirety, perhaps we
can go on and show them the particulars of the Church's government and
operation in accordance with the Scriptures.
If they are to remain in the Church, they should be helped to understand
that not only are they Children of God by the new birth, but that the sacred

42 MINUTES OF THE 72ND ANNUAL ASSEMBLY
covenant they took in the presence of God and the witnesses present made
them members of the Body of Christ. If they can see the Church as that one
body, they will be glad to measure the pattern.
I am afraid that the Church is not being preached and taught as generally
and as thoroughly as it once was. Possibly some think that this will tu&#7471214; peo
ple away. Although some may turn away because we seem too churchy, what
about the many others who are earnestly searching for the one Church? Those
who turn away are just ilOt ready to accept the whole Bible as the Word of
God; but others are ready, and we must not fail to give them the truth. This is
our distinctive responsibility. Nobody else is going to preach this, &#6684783;r it is not
given them to preach.
It is almost impossible for new members and young people to see the Church
unless we show it to them from the Scriptures. The divine revelation has the
Word of God as its authority. Operating the organizational part, without
preaching the Church as the divine organism or body, could be more blinding
than revealing. We cannot afford to withhold any part of the full vision of the
pillar and ground of the truth. We have to see the house ourselves be&#6684783;re we
can preach it clearly to others.
Just as there was only one Chrisi of prophecy, so is there just one Church of
Prophecy. Jesus proved Himself to be Christ by His per&#6684773;ct fulfillment of all
things written of Him in the volume of the Book. Many failed to recognize
Him because they were so steeped in Jewish tradition, but Jesus came to
reveal the Father's perfect will and to set it in motion.
The Apostles met opposition &#6684786;om the Jews almost everywhere they went
preaching Christ and the Church. This opposition sprang &#6684786;om a reluctance to
accept that which was so di&#6684774;erent &#6684786;om the customary pattern. The Gentiles
were more ready to listen than were the Jews. As a rule, it is easier to show the
Church to one who has just been saved than it is to one who has been indoc
trinated in men's interpretations of the Scriptures.
If the Church is not being preached and taught according to the divine
revelation, somewhere along the line we will have to do much of our work over.
It is much easier to be thorough as we go along. Jesus did this when He led the
apostles to commit themselves as to whom He was. When Simon Peter spoke
&#6684783;r the group, saying, "Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God," Jesus
declared, " ... Flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my father
which is in heaven." (Matthew 16:17) Then He declared that His Church
would be built upon the same divine revelation and mutual understanding.
It was a visible church that Jesus set in order when He called unto Him
whom He would, ordained the ministry, gave them their commission, had a
record made, and sent them &#6684783;rth. (Mark 3:13-19) It was a visible church that
walked with Him &#6684786;om then until His ascension. It was a visible church that
was endued with power on the Day of Pentecost; and it was a visible church
that "Went forth, and preached every where, the Lord working with them, and
con&#6684777;rming the word with signs following." (Mark 16:20)
All the local churches spoken of, or written to, in the New Testament were
visible, functioning churches, subject to the central government at Jerusalem.
Paul and the others set churches in order with &#6684780;esh and blood members just as

MINUTES OF THE 72ND ANNUAL ASSEMBLY 43
we do today. All the teachings concerning the Church's growth, operation, and
perfection were given to visible memberships, either in person or by letters ad
dressed to them at their various locations. For instance, "Unto the church of
God which is at Corinth." (1 Corinthians 1:20)
History has left us a record of the visible Church of God, going forth with the
truth, being accepted by hundreds of thousands of flesh and blood members,
thousands of whom died as martyrs for the cause during many years of terrible
persecution. History gives the record of &#6684769;lse teachers drawing away followers
after them; but there was always that one visible church which was the target.
History tells of a division which resulted in an eastern and western head
quarters, bringing about a breakdown in the unity of the faith. Finally, history
tells of the Nicean Council which met in A.D. 325, at which time theocracy
was rejected and the business was done by a representation of bishops, who
moved more at the will of the Roman Emperor than by Church authority. It
was at that time that the Church of God of the Bible ceased to &#6684789;nction, being
covered over by creeds and heresies. That which remained was not the Church
of God of divine revelation, but only another department of the Roman
Government. They continued to call themselves the Church, though totally
lacking in Scriptural identity.
The theory of an invisible Church developed during the Dark Ages as a
result of the confusion of denominationalism. Zealous groups received in
dividual rays of light and began to build up organizations on isolated doc
trines. They knew that they were not the Church they read about in the Bible,
so they concluded that the Biblical Church was invisible, or a spiritual
church, the membership of which was kno&#7798894; only in heaven. Eventually they
became so steeped in the denominational theory that they refused to break
with tradition when the due time arrived. Just as the Jews had done when the
Church was first established by Jesus.
But the Church had to arise &#6684786;om its covering of creeds and erroneous
teachings that had been heaped upon it through 1578 years of the Dark Age
Period, because prophecy had decreed both its falling away and the "Arise,
Shine." (Isaiah 54 and 60) It was the Church of prophecy just as Jesus was the
Christ of prophecy. Just as Christ the Head took on visible flesh and blood in
order to purchase the Church with His own blood, even so is His Body (the
Church) visible flesh and blood.
When the Church arose in fulfillment of prophecy on June 13, 1903, it was a
visible body which began &#6684789;nctioning under the principles of theocratic
government just as in the early days. The arise, shine would not have been
possible without accepting the whole Bible as the Word of God, including
theocratic government, and the covenant principle as individual commitment
for membership.
The doctrinal interpretations of men could not be accepted. Without a
diligent searching of the Scriptures, the direction of the Holy Ghost, and even
tually the acceptance of the General Assembly as the one central tribunal of
authority, it would not have &#6684777;t prophecy, and therefore could not have been
the one Church of the Bible.
Some may not understand the theocratic principle, and why we conduct
business by unanimous agreement, with the proper obedience and submission

44 MINUTES OF THE 72ND ANNUAL ASSEMBLY
to those over us in the Lord. Other groups use di&#6684774;erent types of government
and business procedures as it seems good to them: but the Church of God does
not make this choice. We do our best to abide by that which is outlined in the
Bible &#6684783;r the Church. This is a part of being the Church.
The perfection program is another prophetic requirement for God's Church.
David and others made mention of this, but the instructions left us by the
Apostle Paul make it clear that the Church must be perfect when Jesus returns
to present her unto Himself. We work at this program because the Word
reveals it, and we could not be the Church without it.
I feel I must repeat that if the Church is not being preached and taught &#6684786;om
the viewpoint of prophecy and the New Testament pattern, we will have more
and more people who will not understand our reason for operating as we do. It
is very important that the truth of one Church &#6684783;r all, functioning just as it did
from the time of its establishment by Jesus until the time of the apostasy, be
taught and preached without the slightest compromise or deviation. It is not a
matter of being either like or di&#6684774;erent from the commonly accepted practices
among Christian groups. Our concern is to &#6684783;llow the early Church pattern,
which God set forth in the law and the prophets.
It seems it would be worthwhile &#6684783;r every minister to get alone with the Lord
and the Bible, and satisfy his heart by tracing the identity of the Church of
God in much the same manner by which Jesus identified Himself to the two
brethren on the road to Emmaus:
"Then he said unto them, 0 &#6684783;ols, and slow of heart to believe all that the
prophets have spoken:
"Ought not Christ to have su&#6684774;ered these things, and to enter into his glory?
"And beginning at Moses and all the prophets, he expounded unto them in
all the scriptures the things concerning himself." (Luke 24:25-27)
Shortly after this, as He broke bread and blessed it, "Their eyes were
opened, and they knew him .... "
"And they said one to another, did not our heart burn within us by the way,
and while he opened to us the scriptures?"
It is evident that we are going to have to prove the identity of the Church by
Scriptural authority, no matter how much its uniqueness clashes with the ac
cepted religious systems of our day. We are responsible to teach our younger
members these truths. We cannot keep our hearts and hands clear if we do
otherwise.
It is true that some denominations have accepted portions of Scriptural
truth because they have read the Bible intelligently on these points. While we
appreciate all the good they have done, we must proceed with the "all things"
of Church of God doctrine and practice. In this way, those who are asking their
way to Zion (the Church) with their faces thitherward will be able to see what
they are searching for.
THE CH&#5570642;CH COVENANT
Joining the Church of the Bible by covenant is a mystery to those who do
not have a divine revelation of the Church. It is possible that many members
of the body have taken the covenant without this revelation because they had

MINUTES OF THE 72ND ANNUAL ASSEMBLY 45
con&#6684777;dence in the doctrine of the Church and enjoyed the spirit prevailing in
our services. Taking the covenant is a serious matter, and it seems good to talk
about it.
When taking members into the Church, every minister should do all he can
by the Spirit of the Lord to help the candidates to understand what they are
doing. They are not becoming members of a denomination, but they are being
added to the Body of Christ-the Church of God that was organized by Jesus
Himself, which functioned into the &#6684783;urth century as what we refer to-the
Early Church.
It seems we may have failed in thoroughly explaining the importance of the
covenant. When one is considering membership in the Church, we should be
sure that he understands the twenty-nine important Bible truths and the
responsibility of accepting the perpetual covenant. Perhaps we have not
preached this as much as we should. A good understanding of this sacred cove
nant plays a· great part in showing that the Church &#3866828;f God is the Body of
Christ-the only Church recognized in the Scriptures. The mystery of the
Church was hid in God &#6684783;r many ages, but it is not hidden anymore from those
who will hear and believe. Paul said:
"How that by revelation he made known unto me the mystery .... which in
other ages was not made known unto the sons of men, as it is now revealed
unto his holy apostles and prophets by the Spirit.
"And to make all men see what is the &#6684773;llowship of the mystery, which from
the beginning of the world hath been hid in God, who created all things by
Jesus Christ:
"To the intent that now unto the principalities and powers in heavenly
places might be known by the church the manifold wisdom of God." (Ephe
sians 3:3, 5, 9, 10)
Being hid in God, the mystery was also hidden in the Word of God. The
Holy Ghost has opened our understanding to many things in recent years that
were not revealed to men of earlier times. When the Church was in the Dark
Ages, the covenant relationship was lost to view; but when the Church arose,
the understanding of the covenant was restored.
"Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to
be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth." (2 Timothy 2:15)
Perhaps the prophet Isaiah was showing us our duty to study the Word
when he wrote:
"Whom shall he teach knowledge? and whom shall he make to understand
doctrine? Them that are weaned from the milk, and drawn &#6684786;om the breasts.
"For precept must be upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line,
line upon line, here a little, and there a little." (Isaiah 28:9, 10)
The covenant relationship is prominent throughout the Bible. When there
were only two people to be involved, the marriage covenant was instituted in
the Garden of Eden, as shown in Genesis 2:22-24:
"And the rib, which the Lord God had taken &#6684786;om man, made he a woman,
and brought her unto the man.
And Adam said, this is now bone of my bones, and &#6684780;esh of my &#6684780;esh: she
shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man.
"Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave

46 MINUTES OF THE 72ND ANNUAL ASSEMBLY
unto his wife: and they shall be one &#6684780;esh."
There were other covenants initiated by the Lord. Those most closely
related to the prophetic vision of the Church were probably God's covenant
with Abraham, which has been extended through the proper lineage even to
our day; and the covenant at Mount Sinai, when Israel became "The Church
in the Wilderness," a type of the Church of God and its government, which
Jesus would establish in due time. These two great covenants, along with the
marriage covenant, provide some of the "precepts" which are &#6684783;und "here a
little, and there a little" throughout the Bible. It is the work of the Holy Ghost
to bring these precepts together as men of God are moved on to search out the
truth.
The covenant at Sinai, making Israel a holy nation, was observed until the
people demanded a king and threw off theocratic government. God allowed
this departure from truth, but He was not pleased. The covenant was broken,
but it was not forgotten. For the law that went with that covenant continued
on, even though Israel was no longer a holy nation in the same sense as
previously. We know of her constant decline until she was scattered
throughout the earth.
The prophet Jeremiah gave a prophecy concerning the everlasting nature of
the Church covenant, with an interesting preview of its acceptance in these
last days. He said:
"They shall ask the way to Zion (the Church) with their &#6684769;ces thitherward,
saying, Come, and let us join ourselves to the Lord in a perpetual covenant
that shall not be forgotten." (Jeremiah 50:5)
All of these prophecies have their place, but the one most prominent per
tains to the marriage covenant; and the prophets were not silent about it.
Isaiah wrote:
"For as a young man marrieth a virgin, so shall thy sons marry thee: and as
the bridegroom rejoiceth over the bride, so shall thy God rejoice over thee."
(Isaiah 62:5)
This comes out clearly in the New Testament revelation of the mystery. In
dealing with the subject of adultery and &#6684783;rnication, Jesus re&#6684773;rred to the
covenant in Eden, then added an interesting conclusion-"Wherefore they
are no more twain, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let
not man put asunder." (Matthew 19:6)
The "what" that was joined together was the "one &#6684780;esh." Only God could
do that; therefore, only God could law&#6684789;lly put it asunder by death. Under
stand that the woman was made, "Bone of his bones, and flesh of his flesh."
The apostle Paul declares that the same thing happens to the Body of
Christ. Notice his words carefully:
"For no man ever yet hated his own &#6684780;esh; but nourisheth and cherisheth it,
even as the Lord the church:
"For we are members of his body, of his &#6684780;esh, and of his bones.
"For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall be joined
unto his wife, and they two shall be one &#6684780;esh.
"This is a great mystery: but I speak concerning Christ and the church."
(Ephesians 5:29
-
32)
Since he was speaking concerning Christ and the Church, it is evident that

MINUTES OF THE 72ND ANNUAL ASSEMBLY 47
He had reference to a covenant by which God the Father made them one flesh.
By that mysterious work of God, "We are members of His (Christ's) body, of
His flesh, and of His bones." Nowhere in the Scriptures is it indicated that
this can be done apart &#6684786;om a covenant.
Since denominationalism did not have to be reckoned with in Paul's day, it
is very probable that the revelation of this mystery was more readily
accepted-that the taking of the covenant was so commonplace that it did not
have to be mentioned over and over. A statement written by Paul to the
church at Corinth would indicate that coming under covenant was generally
understood to be the Biblical way to be added to the Church.
"For as the body is one, and hath many members, and all the members of
that one body, being many, are one body: so also is Christ.
"For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body, whether we be Jews or
Gentiles, whether we be bond or &#6684786;ee; and have all been made to drink into
one Spirit." (1 Corinthians 12:12, 13)
Here Paul shows the one Church made up of many members, into which the
Holy Ghost will lead all who submit to His direction through the truth. The
word "baptize" has a number of meanings in the Word, but all refer to some
kind of submitting to, or coming into or under something-water, suffering, a
covenant, or the Holy Ghost. The &#6684783;rmer General Overseer A. J. Tomlinson
explained this passage in the 8th Assembly in 1913 as follows:
"Jesus baptizes with the Holy Ghost, and nowhere in Scripture does it
teach that the Holy Ghost baptizes with Himself. This cannot refer to
the experience obtained evidenced by speaking in tongues. But this ex
perience puts both Jews and Gentiles into one Body. Paul, in finishing
up the chapter, shows that this Body into which both Jews and Gentiles
are baptized is the Church. Then at Acts 2:47, we read that the Lord ad
ded to the Church daily. Now what is the difference in adding to the
Church, Acts 2:47; set in the Church, 1 Corinthians 12:28; and baptized
into the body (the Church), 1 Corinthians 12:13? Verse 14-'For
the body is not one member, but many,' Gives the reason for the
statement in verse 13. Verse 18 puts the final conclusion clear when he
says, 'But now hath God set the members every one of them in the body,
as it hath pleased him.' Baptized them into one Body, one Church. Set
them in one Body-one Church.
"When you were baptized, the minister put you into the water. Every
man who submits wholly to the Holy Ghost will be put, set, added, or
baptized into the Lord's Church which is His Body. Ephesians 1:22, 23
and Colossians 1: 18, 24 show that the Body and the Church are the
same."
We understand &#6684786;om all of these Scripture passages that the second man
Adam (Christ) isto have a wi&#6684773;, and that wife is the Church. Those who make
up the Church are members of Christ's Body, of His &#6684780;esh, and of His bones,
just as the &#6684777;rst woman Eve was bone of Adam's bones, and flesh of his flesh.
Just as this was the pronouncement of God by covenant, even so do we become
members of the Church by covenant.
We understand that we are at this time espoused to Christ, as Paul said,

48 MINUTES OF THE 72ND ANNUAL ASSEMBLY
" ... For I have espoused you to one husband, that I may present you as a
chaste virgin to Christ." (2 Corinthians 11:2) Paul was reminding them of the
sacredness of their espousal, lest they betray their loyalty, as Eve was beguiled
through the subtility of the serpent.
The wording of our covenant assures uni&#6684783;rmity in accepting members into
the Body. It says what should be said, in the light of the Scriptures, and, by
being stated uniformly, it leaves no room &#6684783;r partiality. It says much in just a
few words: but to say less would be to lower our standard.
In the final analysis, without a covenant, that mysterious relationship of
becoming mem hers of His Body, of His &#6684780;esh, and of His bones, could never be
claimed. It is the work of God in the same manner in which He works when" A
young man marrieth a virgin." Without this there is no oneness of body-no
membership in the Church of God of the Bible.
OUR CHILDREN NEED A&#4784251;ENTION
It is becoming increasingly evident that our Church children need more at
tention &#6684786;om their parents. I say this because we are losing too many &#6684786;om the
Church. There has been plenty of talk about saving our children, but we may
be talking too much and doing too .little. If our children's future with the
Church of God means as much to as it should, we will do our duty, and start in
time to bring results.
It takes more than quoting Proverbs 22:6: "Train up a child in the way he
should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it." Train means more
than tell or warn. It means to guide the mental and moral developments: to in
struct so as to produce understanding; to discipline or condition; to prepare, or
make &#6684777;t. In teaching we stress that we have not really taught another unless
we have caused him to learn. Training goes beyond teaching. We have not
completed the training until we have caused the person to do what he has
learned. The Bible is very specific in declaring that doing must &#6684783;llow hearing
and saying. James says:
"But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own
selves." (James 1:22)
If we want our children to enjoy that blessed reward, we will be more sober
about our duty to train them until it becomes a way of life &#6684783;r them. Our
Church of God parents must teach and train their children so thoroughly that
they cause them to learn and to practice what they are taught. It is important
to start the training early, and never grow careless along the way. Parents who
are saved after their children have some years on them will need to begin their
teaching and training at once, while the whole &#6684769;mily is adjusting to the new
life.
When Moses was instructing the Children of Israel shortly before he left
them, he said:
"And these words, which I command thee this day, shall be in thine heart:
"And thou shalt teach them diligently unto thy children, and shalt talk of
them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way, and
when thou liest down, and when thou risest up." (Deuteronomy 6:6, 7)
Diligent teaching means teaching again and again until they have been

,HNUTES OF THE 72ND ANNUAL ASSEMBLY 49
made to understand: also, teaching by example as well as by word of mouth.
The above Scripture shows this teaching was to be done by the parents,
probably by the father as the head of the house, around the family altar daily.
It is not Scriptural for parents to make the church responsible for all the
teaching and training of their children. Those whose schedules are so full of
outside activities that there is scarcely any time left for their children may lose
them from the Church later.
The same Scripture shows that the training is to be done "in thine house,"
or in the home. The parents were to talk to their children about the Com
mandments of the Lord as they sat together in their homes; or when they were
walking together along the way; and at bedtime and getting-up time. It is not
enough to assume that children will learn about the Church simply by listen
ing in on adult conversation. Children need to feel that their parents think it is
important to teach and train them specifically and directly.
I realize some contend that it is not wisdom to talk too much religion to
children. Wisdom is good ifit is the wisdom of God. Paul tells us that there is a
difference between the wisdom of the world and the wisdom of God. He shows
us that the world cannot know God by its own wisdom. (1 Corinthians 1:19-21)
I am afraid too many have depended too much on the kind of wisdom read
from books written by worldly psychologists and others. Some of their advice
is good, but we must depend upon the Spirit of the Lord directing us in train
ing our precious children.
Some of our ministers stay so busy at church activities that their own
children are almost strangers to them. It is important for ministers to win and
hold their families for Christ and the Church of God. What activity is worth
more than this? If a man can win his family, he can win others. It is good to
keep our children in church regularly, and to be firm with them; and we need
to take our children into our confidence in spiritual matters and make them
feel they are a p&#6357106;t of the Church. It cannot be denied that the divine revela
tion of the Church must come from the Lord, but it is very important to teach
and train our children according to the Word, and to give God a chance to
make His Word live in their daily lives.
Farther along in the chapter referred to above, Moses called attention to
what parents should do when the time should come that their children would
ask, "What mean the testimonies, and the statutes, and the judgments, which
the Lord our God hath commanded you?" The parents were expected to have
the answers &#6684783;r their children, and to be able to give those answers in a manner
so that the children will be proud to &#6684783;llow in the footsteps of their elders.
Sometimes about all the children hear about the Church is its problems, or
the failures of some. Our children must know that the Church of God is the
one and only Body of Christ, established by Christ Himself. They must be
taught to pray &#6684783;r all who are overcome, rather than to think of the Church as
a failure because all the members are not per&#6684773;ct. Then they will understand
that it is the Church which has the promise that the gates of hell shall not
pravail against it.
Fathers, mothers-whether ministers or laity-your children need your at
tention now. They need the kind of attention that draws them in instead of

50 MINUTES OF THE 72ND ANNUAL ASSEMBLY
shutting them out, and let them know you have time not only to instruct them
but to show them the way. When you have a duty in the local church, en
courage that son or daughter to be interested in what you are doing. If possi
ble, let them have a part. Encourage them to o&#6684774;er ideas and prepare them &#6684783;r
the time when adult responsibilities will rest upon them�
Remember Paul's words: "and, ye fathers, provoke not your children to
wrath: but bring them up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord." (Ephe
sians 6:4) It seems good to remind ourselves that more children today are
provoked to wrath because their parents will not communicate with them
than because their parents insist on the observance of guidelines. Nurture
means training and discipline. Admonition relates to the &#6684773;ar of the Lord. In
the light of this verse handed down to us by the �arly Church, we should see
our duty clearly.
PREACH THE GOSPEL TO THE·POOR
Early in Christ's ministry, following the temptation in the wilde&#7471214;ess, the
&#6684777;rst Scripture He used in His hometown synagogue identi&#6684777;ed Him in
prophecy according to the ministry He was sent to perform. Let us read the
story from Luke 4:16-21:
"And he came to Nazareth, where he had been brought up: and, as his
custom was, he went into the synagogue on the sabbath day, and stood up &#6684783;r
to read.
"And there was delivered unto him the book of the prophet Esaias. And
when he had opened the book, he found the place where it was written,
"The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach
the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach
deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at
liberty them that are bruised,
"To preach the acceptable year of the Lord.
"And he closed the book, and he gave it again to the minister, and sat down.
And the eyes of all them that were in the synagogue were fastened on him.
"And he began to say unto them, This day is this scripture fulfilled in your
ears."
Later when John the Baptist sent men to inquire as to whether Jesus was
the One "that should come," Jesus sent back this word:
" ... Go your way, and tell John what things ye have seen and heard; how
that the blind see, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the
dead raised, to the poor the gospel is preached." (Luke 7:22)
Now, Christ is the Head of the Church. I believe we know that the head
directs the body; there&#6684783;re, ifwe will study Christ's ministry while He had the
Apostles in training, we will understand what our ministry must be. I am not
mentioning this because we do not know; but it seems good as Peter once
wrote, " ... to stir up your pure minds by way of remembrance." (2 Peter 3:1)
Notice that the first thing mentioned by our Lord was His anointing to
preach the gospel to the poor. He went on to mention the brokenhearted, the
captives, the blind, and the bruised. To John He called attention to His
minist&#7471225; of healing and deliverance; then He speci&#6684777;cally pointed out that to

MINUTES OF THE 72ND ANNUAL ASSEMBLY 51
the poor the gospel is preached.
Today there is great interest in healings and other miracles. Revivals are be
ing conducted in an e&#6684774;ort to get people set free who are in captivity to sin.
There is much counselling for those who are bruised and discouraged by the
pressures of life, but have we become-too selective about those to whom we
preach?
Many of us remember when numbers of our local churches were located in
areas populated largely by poor people. When we went into a town or city to
work out a new church, it seems that God led us into those areas. Our doctrine
was generally despised and rejected by many religious organizations.
We are grateful to God for helping our economic conditions so that many of
us enjoy a higher standard of living. In all of these blessings, let us not &#6684783;rget
&#6684786;om whence we came. We must still make every e&#6684774;ort possible to preach the
Gospel to the poor. When the Lord permits us to locate our churches in better
areas, we need to fervently try to retain our members who do not have much
material goods. Sometimes it may be necessary to furnish transportation &#6684783;r
them. Many of our local churches are operating successful bus ministries to
aid in this. Others of our precious people who have means of transportation are
happy to go out of their way if need be to take others with them to church. We
desire everyone to be in the house of God so they can receive soul food. We
should make these feel just as needed in the Church of God as we do those 'who
have financial means to contribute liberally.
I am not condemning anyone &#6684783;r their status in li&#6684773; nor their church
facilities, but I am very concerned about more of the poorer people being
reached. On one occasion it was said of Jesus, "And the common people hear
him gladly." (Mark 12:37) On that same occasion, the scribes and Pharisees
had been opposing Him. The multitudes who &#6684783;llowed Jesus were mostly the
hungry souls who had been neglected or forgotten by those in authority.
Oftentimes all of our preaching is to those of our level, because they are the
ones we come in contact with; but Jesus admonishes us to go out into the
highways and the hedges and compel them to come in. We know that our com
mission is to go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature. It
seems easier to preach about telling every creature than to go to every
creature. Whether they are on the other side of the globe, or the other side of
town, the poor have a tendency to &#6684773;el out of place among those who have a
higher status. It is up to us to let them know that Jesus died for them and that
He loves them and He is no respecter of persons.
If Christ, the Head, fulfilled Scripture in preaching the gospel to the poor, I
believe His Church will fulfill Scripture by doing likewise. Multitudes
&#6684783;llowed Jesus, and we read of multitudes coming together in the days of the
apostles. They suffered terrible persecutions. '!:hey had to depend completely
upon the Lord &#6684783;r their existence. With some of us, since our material goods
are more plentiful, we may not seek the favor of God as &#6684769;ithfully as in the
past.
In spite of our financial blessings today and our improved material stand
ards in our churches, we are not enjoying increase as we desire. Seemingly
certain things have crept in unawares among us, both &#6684786;om the secular and

52 MINUTES OF THE 72ND ANNUAL ASSEMBLY
religious worlds. The Lord blesses His people when they are separated from
the world. I believe we will have greater growth and fewer problems if we will
diligently preach the gospel to the poor, and do everything we can by the
power of God to make them welcome in our midst. In order to be a blessing, we
must go where the people are.
"For the poor shall never cease out of the land: therefore I command thee,
saying, thou shalt open thine hand wide unto thy brother, to thy poor, and to
thy needy, in thy land." (Deuteronomy 15:11)
Ministers, we will always have the poor in our midst, but an important part
of our commission is to preach the gospel to the poor.
THE FAMILY ALTAR
The family altar, or family worship, is of great importance to the spiritual
victory of our people. This has been promoted editorially and through the
White Wing Messenger articles by the General Overseer quite frequently in the
past. I will give here some excerpts &#6684786;om one of those articles entitled, "The
family-stronghold of the nation," which appeared in the White Wing
Messenger dated June 13, 1976:
"Excuses abound as to why the family altar is no longer practical. It
is true that the times have created conditions very different &#6684786;om those
of a few decades ago. But it is also true that God's Word has not changed
... it is our responsibility to cope with the changing conditions without
compromising the will of God for ourselves and our children.
"No, it is not easy every time: but it is easier than to wake up in hell,
or to stand by while your children go out of this life unprepared and to
know that they are lost-just because we excused ourselves from family
duty! How long will it be be&#6684783;re the people of God awaken to the awful
evidences of this neglect before their eyes every day and hour? The Bible
declares that all the nations that forget God will be turned into hell.
(Psalm 9: 17) ...
"Those who have neglected their family's spiritual welfare must ex
pect to reap what they have sown, even after they have set out to correct
their mistakes. Some children will be resentful and rebellious. Their
many involvements with secular and worldly things and people may
already be so deep rooted that they will &#6684773;el embarrassed at the new and
greater emphasis· on religion. They may resist everything that threatens
their already established way of life. This is the price parents must pay
for their neglect.
"At this point, it goes almost without saying that the adult members
of the family will have their own problems reordering their lives; It will
take a good measure of maturity to say, with Joshua of old,' ... As for
me and my house, we will serve the Lord.' (Joshua 24:15) ... "
Many will recall the message on this subject by Brother Perry Gillum during
the Sunday School Program in the 71st Annual Assembly last year. From that
time, a &#6684769;mily altar project has been going on with steadily increasing interest.
Periodic reports in the White Wing Messenger have shown the response of our
people. The most recent word indicates that approximately 2,266 homes have

MINUTES OF THE 72ND ANNUAL ASSEMBLY 53
reported having family worship regularly.
It is so wonder&#6684789;l that this many of our families are reading the Bible and
praying as a family. It is not known how many families are represented in our
world-wide Church of God membership. In some families, only one is a mem
ber of the Church: in others there are two or more: and in some homes every
one is a member of the Church. Some may have reported participation from
non-church homes. It is encouraging to note that the President of the United
States, James Earle Carter, was pleased to have his family represented in this
project.
Some homes have been having &#6684769;mily worship &#6684783;r many years. It is possible
that many families are carrying on this practice but have neglected to report
their participation. There is reason &#6684783;r concern, because many families are
evidently not engaging in this all-important practice. I suppose most of our
members pray in secret, individually. This is wonderful, and it should be con
tinued, but we know that the Lord commanded the Children of Israel to get
their families together and teach them His Word; and that prayer was com
mon among them when they were walking in the &#6684773;ar of the Lord. We know
also that Jesus prayed openly, and that His disciples asked Him to teach them
to pray.
The Early Church was a praying Church, and the history of the last-days
Church is a witness to the power of prayer. Family worship was the rule, and
not the exception, in the early part of this century. It was almost impossible
for children in Church of God homes to grow up in ignorance of the Word of
God and the manifestations of His power, because they heard the Bible read
every day-in many homes twice a day. They heard the parents calling their
names in prayer, and seeking the Lord for their daily needs. Many times the
children took an active part, and they grew up scarcely knowing what it would
have been like not to pray.
I am thrilled about this current family altar response, and I want to en
courage every Church of God member and friend to have a family altar.
Brother Gillum is to be commended for promoting it so earnestly. A family
altar certificate has been designed, signed by the General Overseer and the
General Sunday School Secretary, and one has been sent to each family
reporting a family altar. A sample &#6684769;mily altar has been designed and is on
display during this Assembly, along with a "do-it-yourself" plan &#6684783;r construc
tion, or to present to a cabinet shop or carpenter. The plan includes complete
directions, a list of materials, and the approximate cost.
Some families have already built or purchased some type of altar, but this
convenient plan will be welcomed by many who would otherwise have dif
ficulty finding one. While it is not necessary to have any particular piece of
furniture &#6684783;r an altar, it is often more meaningful to have one, especially &#6684783;r
the younger members of the family, since they can associate it with the altars
in our churches.
We believe that as more families pledge themselves to home worship, we
will see the effects of it in our local churches, and in the Church in general. We
believe that prayer changes things.

54 MINUTES OF THE 72ND ANNUAL ASSEMBLY
TO&#5046348;INSON COLLEGE
The college has planned to construct a library for many years. The original
plans date back to October 10, 1967, at which time it was decided that con
struction of campus buildings would be on a priority basis determined by es
sentiality and availability of funds.
We first constructed a dormitory to house our students; then a student cen
ter and cafeteria; our third project was the physical education building to in
clude the chapel and music department. Now we would like to build a college
library, which is vital to the continued growth of our school.
We desire to provide the best possible study area, book-selections and
reference materials &#6684783;r our students. In reviewing the requirements for &#6684789;ture
accreditation, we find that the library must be expanded to accommodate
many more books and students. We have outgrown our present facility which
is housed in the administration building. The administration is in dire need of
additional faculty office space, so it seems that the building of a new library is
very necessary and warrants priority attention.
The Board of Trustees, on August 21, 1976, approved the building of
Tomlinson College Library contingent on the consent of the General Proper
ties Committee (which has been given) and that construction could begin
when at least fifty per cent of the total amount required was available in an es
crow account. The Board of Trustees recommends that consideration be given
&#6684783;r special memorial plaques to be placed in the library to honor our loved
ones, relatives, and friends who have passed on. These would be recognized by
contributions specified &#6684783;r this purpose. Donations by one or more persons
may be applied to a selected memorial. The amounts and procedure will be
determined by the College President. The College President and his staff will
introduce fund-raising programs in the near future.
The cost of construction will be approximately $150,000. I encourage the en
tire Church to give your wholehearted support in raising funds to build the
new college library. We welcome all helpful suggestions.
In the Assembly in 1975, recommendation was made by the Board of Direc
tors that we not pursue trying to get the college accredited because it seemed
the route we were taking would not be in line with theocratic government:
however, I am pleased to announce that in view of recent developments it
may be possible for Tomlinson College to become accreditated by a regional or
national agency wherein the college could operate without any outside inter
ference, and that the Church would have full control of the operation of the
college without compromising theocratic government.
Furthermore, the Tennessee Higher Education Commission has strongly en
couraged Tomlinson College to'seek accreditation to insure continued opera
tion. At the present time, the college is authorized to operate as a two-year co
educational institution.
I would like for the Questions and Subjects Committee to thoroughly study
the recommendations of the assembly in the past and bring a recommendation
to this assembly regarding their findings.
I feel we should commend our president of Tomlinson College. This heavy
responsibility was placed upon Emerson Hall suddenly, and he willingly ac-

MINUTES OF THE 72ND ANNUAL ASSEMBLY 55
cepted the challenge of the Presidency and Chief Administrator of the College
and Airplane Pilot for the General Overseer. He has served on the College
Board of Directors for several years and his faith&#6684789;l services have been in
valuable. All of this has been done without Brother Hall receiving a sala&#7471225;
from the Church. He has proven his love &#6684783;r God and His Church by serving
where he is needed in the last days. Commendation to other members of the
board who are giving their time to this worthy cause. Yes, we have many
faith&#6684789;l ministers whom the Church is unable to compensate &#6684777;nancially for
their labors oflove; but God has a record, and each will be rewarded according
to his works. Brother Hall, we appreciate you, and we are praying that God
will reward you mani&#6684783;ld &#6684783;r your good work and devotion. Will each of you
join with me now in giving honor to whom honor is due?
NEW CORRESPONDENCE COURSE
BY BIBLE TRAINING INSTITUTE
I would like to share with you a portion of my Annual Address to the
General Assembly in 1944, entitled "Stick To The Teachings of The Church of
God":
"I feel it is just as important now, and even more so, to stick to the
teachings of the Church of God as it has ever been. We do not want to
lower the standard in the least. We rather want to be stronger than ever
for the Church of God and the teachings we have been taught. Paul said
to Timothy, 'But continue thou in the things which thou hast learned
and hast been assured of, knowing of whom thou hast lea&#7471214;ed them.'
Paul had been teaching Timothy and he didn't want him to get mixed
up with any other kind of doctrine. He wanted him to continue in the
things he had lea&#7471214;ed. And that is what I want to do. We know who
taught us the things we have learned. To make any changes would be a
mistake and we do not want to make mistakes and have to correct them.
The blessings of the Lord have been upon us in the way we are going and
I am sure none of us would want to do anything that would take His
blessings away.
"When we became members of the Church of God we pledged our
selves to take the whole Bible rightly divided and the New Testament as
our only rule of faith and practice. To fail to keep our pledge would be
disastrous to us and to the work. We want to be bold and strong for the
truth as we know it. That which has been good &#6684783;r us in the past and
carried us along in the right way until the present time will be good &#6684783;r
us in the future. We must not deviate in the least from the teachings and
practices of the Church of God as we have been taught. If changes are
suggested by those who may not be fully settled, or by one who has not
been taught as we have been taught, we should give no heed to them. I
remember my father was always on guard against anything that would
take us away from the teachings of the Bible. A &#6684773;w mistakes have been
made through the years, but when he found a mistake had been made he
was bold to correct it. We are &#6684769;r enough along now that we should not
make mistakes. We know enough through the experience of the past and

56 MINUTES OF THE 72ND ANNUAL ASSEMBLY
the teachings and training of those over us until we should be able to go
right on with our work without any side tracking or hindrances.
"We do not want to do anything that would take us away from the
teachings of Jesus and the Apostles. We do not want to do anything that
would put us in the class with those who have a form of godliness but
denying the power thereof. We are living in the last days when Paul
declared that perilous times shall come. When we consider the spiritual
condition of the world today we could easily say we are in perilous times.
There are hundreds and hundreds of different beliefs and religions. We
know that all these doctrines taught can't be right. In fact, only one can
be right, and that is the Bible-just taking the Bible as it reads and
putting it into practice. That is what we are striving to do. We don't
want our own ideas and opinions. We want, 'Thus saith the Lord.' "
Although this discourse was delivered over three decades ago I feel as never
before that we as members need to be rooted and grounded in the truth.
The Bible Training Institute Department is introducing in this General
Assembly a correspondence course called "Bible Truths", which covers the
Twenty-Nine Prominent Teachings of the Church of God along with assembly
&#6684783;otnotes and sections taken &#6684786;om the General Overseer's Annual Addresses.
There are one hundred questions in the back of the book for the student to
answer when he completes the course. Those who satisfactorily complete the
course will be given certificates. For further information contact the Bible
Training Institute Department.

MINUTES OF THE 72ND ANNUAL ASSEMBLY 69
CONCLUSION
Looking back over this assembly year, we realize how good the Lord has
been to us all. While there have been sicknesses and afflictions, along with
some tests and trials, we &#6684773;el that the Lord has meant them for our good. This
present world is not our resting place. It is rather our trial ground. Better
things lie ahead for those who endure.
The Church has grown and prospered, both here at home and in new fields
abroad. Our people have worked so hard to help provide the means that are
necessary in order to reach out and take new territory for Christ and His
Church. No doubt, some sacrifices have been made; but I believe those who
have made them were happy to do so. It is all joy when we see the &#6684786;uit of our
labor. Your General Overseer and his staff appreciate everything that has
been done.
The Lord only knows about the many mighty prayers that have been
prayed in the interest of the work. Those prayers have had much to do with all
the successes the Church has enjoyed. Those who have gone forth bearing the
message have been the instruments of God in the work of sowing, cultivating,
and reaping. Many have labored to build facilities to house our services, so
that the people around about can attend, confident that the Church is in
their midst to stay.
All of this labor has a reward much greater than any we can bestow down
here in this world. That reward lies at the end of our journey, so we must keep
marching on with no thought of anything other than leaving this vale of tears
behind, and entering into the joy of our Lord. Hallelujah!
With this thought in mind, it is appropriate that we all stand together and
sing that great old hymn that we have been singing in every General
Assembly for so many years-"At The Battle's Front." Let us renew the
purpose of our hearts to keep marching &#6684783;rward in the Church of the living
God until the battles will all be over and we receive the crown of life!

2:15 Contenders for the Faith-message by Ray C. Wynn, General Superin
tendent. (concert prayer) Excerpts: 2 Timothy 3:1-3; 13, 14. I believe we are
living in the last days and in perilous times. Jude 1:3-15. It seems Jude wrote
the epistle to excite us, or arouse us to be aware of false . teachers lest
we fall &#6684786;om our stedfastness.
God has always wanted His people to remember Him. Joshua 4:21, 22.
If future generations were to know how Israel crossed Jordan on dry ground,
that present generation must make provisions to pass this truth on. If future
generations are to know about the Church of God, this present generation
must be true contenders for the faith, and we must pass it on. We must not
only be truth keepers, but we must be truth passers. The Church is a dispenser
of the truth. Unfaithful men will not build the Church of God. I don't
believe the Church needs a lot of generals today, we need good soldiers.
It seems a good soldier cannot be involved in the affairs of this li&#6684773;. Jude
12, 13. When man deviates from the Word of God, he has lost the fear of
God. I see different kinds of revivals needed in Zion. One is a return to the
&#6684773;ar of God. We need a revival of praying &#6684783;r honesty and integrity among
us. The Church has to have positions. This is God's program. We should not
put the positions above serving God and living &#6684783;r the Lord. James 1:17. We
need men today who are not for sale. When the spirit of coveting gets on an
individual, and he goes on seemingly shouting the victory, it seems that would
be feeding without fear. We need to be a true contender of the faith. What
God says-that is the way He wants it. When you and I decide to do our own
thing, we are going to get in trouble. Contenders must not be pretenders.
Sometimes we have deviations because some do not think it is important,
but the Church must have men and women who are committed and an
earnest commitment to be a true contender &#6684783;r the faith and in reaching
the world with the last days message.
3:&#3145776; Prayer by M. A. Tomlinson for Bible Training Institutes throughout
the world.

Financial Statement of the
White Wing Publishing House and Press
The Publishing House has completed a successful year of operations for
the past fiscal year. Success at the Publishing House is a result of so many

MINUTES OF THE 72ND ANNUAL ASSEMBLY 77
people in the Church that it is somewhat unfair to mention only a few of those
responsible. But I wish to express appreciation to each member, pastor,
and local church leader who has contributed to the Publishin·g House this
year. We sincerely thank each of you. Also, we wish to thank each Overseer
and General Worker for his interest and contribution to our Publishing
House ministry.
Finally, I want to let the Publishing House employees know that I consider
their e&#6684774;orts, as individuals and as a whole, one of the major reasons &#6684783;r our
success or failure of the Publishing House even more than the work of the
Business Manager. They are a blessing to the Church of God.
We have continued wit&#7077993; physical improvements at the Publishing House this
year. Several new items of equipment have been added to the printing depart
ment such as a &#6684783;lding machine, additional typesetting equipment and book
binding machinery. We are also developing our bookstore space in a little
more e&#6684774;icient manner as you will notice as you visit our sales area. Our
hope is that the Publishing House can continue to serve the Church of God in
an effective manner.
I present you the following financial report with some joy, but also with
some sorrow. We are all thankful &#6684783;r the Lord's blessing to us, but neverthe
less our responsibilities at the Publishing House seem to be accelerating
at a more rapid pace than our ability to meet those responsibilities. Our
message is for the whole world. Oh, Lord, help us go out to possess the land.
Thank God for the power of printing!

4:37 The House-to-House Revival Was A Blessing�Billy J. Siler. Com
ments: (Members of the Durham, NC church, Bragg Street sang "Soon
and Very Soon") I am district overseer; in the district, 21 were added to
the church and 83 baptized in water. Often we feel everything has to be
done &#6684786;om the pulpit, but Jesus used a ship, a mountain, and one time
He taught &#6684786;om the well. Luke 14:23. A lot of Church of God members
don't believe we can have a revival in a home. The ABM means &#6684783;r us
pastors and band leaders to get out into the homes; into the streets and
the highways and compel the people to come in.
4:55 Song by Michael and Christine McMillan.
5:04 The Emergency Fund Was A Blessing-Daryl L. Sha&#6684774;er. Comments:
2 Corinthians 1:8-11. Many people have prayed for me the past two years.
I have been blessed by the emergency fund on two occasions. Paul was facing
a crisis in his life and he mentioned that he received many prayers, and
at the same time a gift had been given. I am thankful that the Church of
God has an emergency fund. (He told of a serious accident he and his wife

MINUTES OF THE 72ND ANNUAL ASSEMBLY 85
were in while in North Carolina.) September 12, 1977, I su&#6684774;ered a heart
attack. Many people were praying for me, and I &#6684773;lt the a&#6684774;ects of those
prayers. Ministers, we should work &#6684769;ith&#6684789;lly to support the emergency fund.
The only reason I want to live is to work for the Church of God; to see
the Church of God grow and to see the perfection mark reached in the Church
of God.
5:20 Solo by Gerdia Shewmaker.
5:26 Make Straight Paths For Your Feet-message by Charles I. Mackey.
Excerpts: Hebrews 12:12-15. This means getting ready &#6684783;r the Lord's return.
When the Lord comes we must lay aside every weight. Weight will break
our speed. We will not be able to meet the Lord unless we have all of
these things out of our pathway. 1 Corinthians 9:27. In order &#6684783;r us to make
straight paths &#6684783;r our feet, we need to stick to the Word of God. To get
preparations completed, you must be obedient to the Word of God and to the
rulings of the General Assembly. We will have to comply to the blueprint
drawn by holy men inspired by the Holy Ghost.
The Church of God is not a legislative body but a judicial body. I lea&#7471214;ed
that the General Assembly searched the Scriptures to bring out the laws
for us to &#6684783;llow. Every church must walk by the same rule and mind the
same thing. That is the only way we can make straight paths for our feet.
This is a holy place, and this is a holy Church-the Church that Jesus
organized. The ABM is &#6684783;r caring and protecting its members. We must be
concerned about all the members to get ready to meet the Lord in the air. The
Word of God says we are to walk circumspectly-meaning carefully. Our
walking includes our talking and thinking.
5:47 Song by the Messengers.
5:50 Getting Ready for the Lord's Return-message by R. Wayne Allen.
Excerpts: We are talking about making preparations for an event that none
of us have ever witnessed-the coming of the Lord. John the Revelator
looked into the future and spoke in the present. Revelation 19:7. Today
people are trying to &#6684777;nd the perfect church. As yet, it has not reached that
mark, but we are getting ready. We must be a separate people. Hebrews
12:14, 15. If the devil can get you to have some thought in your heart
against someone, it will grow and somebody is destroyed because of a little
root of bitterness. If something pops up that is contrary to the Word of God,
we must get rid of that. We must take heed of His Word and live thereby.
Let us think about the knowledge of God. The writer says that it might
be known by the Church the manifold wisdom of God. Recommendations
come through the General Assembly. We accept them, and anything we
promote and do contrary to that is against the knowledge of God. When I
think I know more than the General Assembly, I don't know anything.
We must get rid of every high thing that exalteth itself. Theologians will
reason things out. God doesn't work by reason, but He works by His Word.

86 MINUTES OF THE 72ND ANNUAL ASSEMBLY
He doesn't work by logic. Only Christ should. be seen through our lives.
We must lift up Jesus Christ, and He will draw all men. The only way to
become members of the Church is by covenant. We accept the whole Bible
rightly divided, the New Testament as our rule of faith. Anyone who would
discourage the message of one Church for all of God's Children to be gathered
into, is against the knowledge of God. Jesus has talked to the Father and
He has declared that there shall be one &#6684783;ld and one shepherd. The Church
must be ready. What a glorious time it will be when all of God's children
come home. The time is coming that every child of God is going to be
moved by the Spirit of God, and they are going to come home. We must
get ready. We need spiritual band leaders and pastors to teach the people
as they come. You may say, "How will we ever see eye to eye, and speak
the same thing?" It would be easy if we would get rid of our ideas, opinions
and our revelations and take the approved doctrine just as it is, and go
onward with the same rule and believing the same thing. This is going to
happen before the return of the Lord.
6:28 Closing prayer by Charles Wilson.
EVENING
6:30 Singing led by Ronald Craig; Edna Day, pianist and Wanda Kitchens,
organist. Mark 16:15-20 read by Rex Carroll. Prayer led by Larry Gomez and

Most added to the Church (81)-Walter Skutar.
6:50 Getting Ready Through the World Invasion Campaign-G. A. Wilson.
Excerpts: I am thrilled about this world invasion, because we can all do
the same thing at the same time and it will attract the attention of God.
We want Him to walk in our midst. This is not just a General Headquarters
Program. We have 18 district overseers in Georgia. When we received the
instructions, I had the overseers to come together &#6684783;r an organizational
meeting. Our goal was a new church in every district. We had four or &#6684777;ve
small churches which were inactive. The missionary leader said she would
organize the ladies into prayer bands to pray day and night &#6684783;r God to move
among souls. The Victory Leaders Secretary said, "I've got thirty youth life
teams ready to do whatever you need." The Sunday School Secretary
was ready to have a teaching program. The campaign resulted in the organiza
tion of four new churches. One church was a direct result of the youth
life teams. Two of the inactive churches were reactivated. The campaign
is still working among the people. Just think what God would do &#6684783;r us if the
whole world, wherever the Church of God is located, would move as one
body and make an invasionl

MINUTES OF THE 72ND ANNUAL ASSEMBLY 87
7:00 Song by Tim Charles.
7:10 This Gospel of the Kingdom-message by Ron Hamm. Excerpts:
(Prayer) Matthew 24:14. Jesus gave us this promise. This will happen. There
is no means by which the devil can defeat this promise. How are we going
to get it done'? The last year we had the Assembly in the old tabernacle, our
General Overseer made a plea for evangelists to go on the field. All I could
see were souls dying and going to hell. I would to God that it would settle
over this congregation and touch your hearts and all you could see are
people plunging into hell. Many times the reason we can't see what is be&#6684783;re
us is our vantage point. When you draw closer to God in the beauty of the
Church, you get a di&#6684774;erent vantage point. Those looking from the wrong
vantage point, I beg you to give God the opportunity to open your eyes to what
we need. Other people are telling about Jesus, but I believe this is the day we
need saved people in the Church, and saved people need the Church. I want
to see everybody in the Church saved, and everybody that is saved in the
Church. I want you to pray one more time for these evangelists. I believe
God is about to open the windows of heaven and pour out the greatest
blessing on the Church of God that we have ever known.
7:28 O&#6684774;ering for Evangelism; Songs by: Lovelight Singers; Steve and
Janice Puckett; prayer for evangelists.
7:37 Introduction of Lewis Willis, Public Relations Director of the Church
of God; Cecil B. Knight, General Overseer of the Church of God. Brother
Knight addressed the congregation. He expressed appreciation of our Church
leaders and the emphasis on the family. He told of their church having a
crusade of getting the television sets turned o&#6684774; to protest the ungodly things
on television. Commended us &#6684783;r our spirit of evangelism.
7:50 Restoration of the Gifts to the Church-Message on Divine Healing
by Lawrence Heckert. Excerpts: God can heal. Asked congregation to repeat
with him Job 2:1, 2. God can heal wherever you are. 1 Corinthians 12:28.
This is the Church, and the gift of healing has to be here. We preach the
full restoration of the gifts to the Church. This means we teach the gift of
healing will be completely activated and restored to its original status in
the Church of God. I don't think we can fathom the potential of the gift of
divine healing. When it is fully operating, it can raise people from the dead,
heal blinded eyes, make the lame to walk, and the dumb to talk. I don't
see any reason why the gift of healing cannot operate in the Church like it did
when Paul, John, Peter, and Stephen and the deacons of the Church had
power to heal. We need to say, "God, Thou canst do everything." If God
set the gift of healing in the Church, it is still in the Church. We can't
operate it. The Bible said there are diversities of the gift, but the same
Spirit. There are two elements necessary in divine healing-faith and power.
Stephen was full of faith and power, and did miracles and wonders. Faith
cannot stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God. Romans
9:21. God has power over your body.

9:20 Theocratic Government Is Bible Government-message by J. B.
Reynolds. Excerpts: I believe in the government of the Church, obeying God's
Word, and doing what the General Assembly says. If it has brought us this
far, it will take us on to glory if we abide by the doctrine that Jesus has
given. 1 Timothy 6:1-6.
We have all kinds of gove&#7471214;ments and laws in this world. This is in the
world, but it is not so in the Church. The Church of God is a government by
the Lord for the people. God's government will never fit in the government of
the world or other religious groups. We are a chosen people; a royal priest
hood, a holy nation. The Church in the wilderness was under theocratic
government. The New Testament Church rejected the government of God.
They accepted creeds and doctrines of men and went into the Dark Ages.
The Church wasn't lost-she was covered up by creeds and doctrines of men.
The Spirit of the Lord moved upon A. J. Tomlinson, our former General
Overseer. He came to Cherokee County, North Carolina, to a group called
the Holiness Church at Camp Creek. God revealed the Church to Brother
Tomlinson and the Church was set in order. It operated, and the devil
tried every way to stop her; in the early twenties, he tried to wipe her out.
That man had a vision. It takes a vision of the Church today. God did not
change, so why should we? Some don't like the doctrine. If I didn't believe
in the Church and its doctrine, I would quit letting people &#6684773;ed me Church
of God bread.
It is Jesus' Church, the one He purchased with His own blood. It has

rules and regulations. The reason I came in the Church is because I got
tired of man-made creeds and doctrines. I got a vision of the Church. The
members take a covenant that they will accept and obey the New Testament;
thus, we have divine laws which cannot be amended. The government of the
world changes, but this hasn't changed and it never will: Under the New
Testament order, every question or dispute is settled by God's Word. Brother,
you had better get under the government of the Church because it is sa&#6684773;. The
General Assembly has said how surplus tithes in a local church are to be divid
ed. That is the way the surplus tithes at my local church were divided. 2 John
7-11. It is time we do what the Assembly says. When the Committees bring
things to the tloor and we pass them, we should abide by them. How can you
get up before your congregation on Sunday morning and tell them to obey
them that have the authority over them when you are not doing it? Let us
quit looking &#6684783;r loopholes and walk like we are supposed to walk.

10:42 Buy the Truth and Sell It Not-message by Melvin Cruickshank.
Excerpts: Matthew 25:6-9. You can live without the truth, but you can't
meet God without it. This is the Church of God, and we preach the truth.
Galatians 3:1. You must come to the Church to hear the whole truth. If you
sell out the truth, you had better take down your Church &#7602284;ag, because it
will be displayed because of the truth. This is God's government, and it is still
speaking to His people. If God is not leading you, you are heading &#6684783;r a
crash. When you realize the Church has been preaching the truth and you
have been brushing it aside for customs and attitudes, at midnight it will
be &#7602317;oo l_ate to go back to the Church and get the truth.
The Holy Ghost will lead you into all truth. The other sheep will &#6684777;nd the
Church because the Holy Ghost will lead them to the Church. We had better
be careful that their customs, traditions, likes and dislikes don't cause us to
sell out the truth. We may be different cultures, backgrounds, nationalities,
even different skin; but, we are one race-the human race. Proverbs 23:23.
The &#6684783;olish virgins were waiting &#6684783;r the bridegroom without the truth. If we
don't accept what the Lord says, we will stray from this beautiful Church.
The Bible says that they shall come to Zion and they shall learn the ways
of Zion.
God told Abraham he was going to give him a son. Sarah didn't see how
this could be done unless they helped. She gave Abraham Hagar, her maid.
They had a son and were proud. Some people feel good when their tricks
work. If you build outside the teachings of the Church, you will have to
pull it down. Isaac was born when Abraham was 100 years old. Abraham
said from that day he would follow the Lord and not do anything outside of

God. Church of God, you don't &#6684773;ar God. God told Abraham to take his
only son and o&#6684774;er him &#6684783;r a burnt offering. Abraham didn't question God.
Some are still &#6684777;ghting to make laws contrary to the Church of God. Jesus
said the gates of hell shall not prevail against this Church. This Church
can't go down. He didn't say they wouldn't fight; He said they wouldn't
prevail.

11:32 End Time Happenings and End Time Work-Challenges of the
World Language Department by Felix Garcia. (Prayer) Comments: Mark
13:1-10. There are three key words in this. Publish means to cause to be
printed or put into circulation. "And the Gospel must be preached." First
means be&#6684783;re anything else. Many are concerned about the exact hour of the
Lord's return. We have to observe the signs, but also &#6684789;l&#6684777;ll our responsibilities
that precede the coming of the Lord. The coming of the Lord depends on the
Church's performance in fulfilling our responsibility. There are things that
God will do. We have nothing to do with that. No one else will do the
end-time work but the Church of God. This great commission was given to
His disciples. The coming of the Lord depends on our work.
The coming of the Lord depends on our ability to get the gospel published
to all nations. There are revivals springing up over all nations where we do not
have literature. The doctrine of the Last Days Church can only be published
by the Church of God. We need more than one hundred thousand dollars
this year to supply the needed literature. God is gathering all His children
into one &#6684783;ld. We printed tracts in the Thai Language, and people line up
to read the gospel. People are hungry, and the Church of God must be
stirred to do the work. (O&#6684774;ering received for World Language work

1:12 Testimony by Greek Orthodox Atto&#7471214;ey, George J. Tzangas. He
requested urgent prayer for his children who had never seen anthing like
this. He stated that the Holy Spirit had captivated his soul. You don't
know how I c&#7471225; when I see the youth of this church &#6684777;lled with the Holy
Ghost come forward and speak the name of Jesus openly and hurrah the
Lord. The only place I see this is at a football game with heathens. B&#7471215;ther
Mahan stated that this is what our work and youth li&#6684773; teams are all about.
It is not entertainment, but to reach the lost. (Victory Leaders raised their
hands and asked God to make them better soul winners.)
Interpretation of message by Holy Ghost: "Every nation a special com
mando, and I say unto thee that thou art my storm troopers. Thou shall storm
the world &#6684783;r me. Yea, I say thou shall go in my spirit. Yea, I say learn
my word because I am depending upon thee. Thou art my special comandos."
1:25 Song by Linda Mahan. Prayer led by Terry Mahan. "Renew Their
Strength ... "-message by General Secretary. Excerpts: We are too close to
what we have been praying &#6684783;r; what we have been preaching about; to that
one-fold unity; to that glorious Church to say, I don't want to work anymore.
It is my job to work; it is God's job to bring results. Isaiah 40:30. Even
some of the most powerful youth will grow weary under the strain. The
Word says that they that wait upon the Lord will renew their strength.
The story of Davd tells a bit about waiting &#6684783;r God's strength. As David
stood &#6684783;r God against Goliath, he probably received great advice, but David
wasn't resting in his strength. I believe when he was picking those five
stones, he was waiting on the Lord. It wasn't in David's strength; it was in
God's, and David was sure he had waited &#6684783;r the direction of God. Some feel
after they have one semester of Greek in college, that they are ready to set
the Church straight. If you are not care&#6684789;l, satan will blow your head up so
big that you think you know it all. You have no room &#6684783;r what the Holy
Ghost might impress. Satan gets you &#6684786;ustrated, because you don't see things
happen as quickly as you want them to. You throw up your hands and say
I am not going to work any more. The Bible says, "They that wait upon the
Lord shall renew their strength."
Let us learn a lesson &#6684786;om Jonathan in 1 Samuel. Their leader was
backslidden, the enemy was encamped all about them. They looked at the
odds and many began to run. They ran, &#6684769;inted and got weary, but on the
other side of the camp was Jonathan who wasn't running. He wasn't weary,
but he was waiting upon the Lord. It was God's time, Jonathan had waited,
and God was about to use him. God had renewed him. He could see the
Philistines. Suddenly the Philistines called for them to come up. They began
making a long climb up that mountain. Their strength had been renewed.
When they got to the top of the mountain, their strength had been renewed.
They stood within a half acre, twenty men were slain and God began to
shake that place. God got in the battle and gave a great victory. It was greater
&#6684783;r Jonathan because he stuck with the program when it was unpopular to
stick. It is time to march onward and not faint. I challenge you to renew your
strength in the Lord.

2:58 This Generation Shall ... -message by Elwood Matthews. Excerpts:
One generation is going to see the rapture of the Church of God to the
Marriage Supper of the Lamb. The Bible tells of things that would happen
in the Holy Land in the last days. The Scripture says that the generation
that sees this shall not pass away until all things be ful&#6684777;lled. There is much
work to be done. It hinges on whether we believe this Word of God and
practice what it says.
We hear people talking about peace treaties, and they will report they are
cautiously optimistic. The Church of God is cautiously optimistic. Twelve
men went to check the land. They reported the land flowed with milk and
honey. Caleb was ready to go get it, but the others said we are as a bunch

94 MINUTES OF THE 72ND ANNUAL ASSEMBLY
of grasshoppers; they are stronger than us. The people believed the ten.
Caleb and Joshua &#6684773;ll and rent their clothes, and said, "God said to go."
The problem was not in the young people; it was unbelief. God said that
Joshua and Caleb could go because they believed Him. They stayed in the
wilderness &#6684783;rty years. They kept dying, and one day God led His man upon
the mountain and had Moses to look over. Something was happening to the
Israelites that I believe is happening to the Church of God. There is coming
a time when you are going to go and possess the land. Moses was dead, and
Joshua was to take these people over to Jordan. Joshua had a message &#6684786;om
God.' Forty years ago in this Assembly, the General Overseer used Joshua
1:11. We are &#6684777;xing to go over to Jordan. This is going to start with the
preachers. Israel was going to receive great cities which they builded not;
wells they didn't dig; and vineyards they didn't plant. The Church has been
told to go and minister to lost humanity. I am preaching what A. J.
Tomlinson preached forty years ago. The Lord is telling the Church that ye
may have no place to Jay your head. Church of God, seek first the Kingdom
of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added unto you.
He will supply the needs to do the job when we stop going in circles of
popularity, ,prestige, security, &#6684777;nance or a home. We have circled around long
enough; we know which way to head. We need our attitudes made exactly
right and believe the Word. Seek ye first the kingdom of God. The kingdom
of God is in power. If you get the power of God operating, you will see all
kinds of things happening.

3:40 Mini messages by: Peggoty Autry-Comments: TC is very special to
me. I could share with you many things; the wonderful people who become
your dearest &#6684786;iends, but most of all how it can change your li&#6684773;. There are
some things in li&#6684773; that we young people lack: experience, wisdom, and
knowledge of what God really wants us to do. I found direction and guidance.
Parents, your children will be tested and tried, but they will be under Holy
Ghost-filled people who can guide and love them and share their lives.
Steve Stafford-Comments: 1 Corinthians 12:17-25, 27. Paul is speaking
about &#6684780;esh and blood members who make up the Church of God. Feeble
members need more abundant honor. The auxiliaries are placed in the Body
of Christ. God is setting the body o&#6684774; in other things: miracles, healings
and government. I believe the college is a part of the Body of Christ, a
help that God put in the Church. Just as we wouldn't want a &#6684773;eble member
to lack &#6684783;r anything, I don't believe that TC is any less part of the Church.
Let us use what God has given us, and the college is a very beneficial
part.

student chaplain. This year it was Jerry Shavers, along with the dean of
students, James Stone, to provide spiritual activities. The college encourages
each student to choose a church home in the Cleveland area. Chapel services
are conducted each Tuesday and Thursday in which the students are required
to receive spiritual help. One night a week the student chaplain arranges
a prayer meeting in the dormitory. There is a spiritual emphasis week each
semester along with other services &#6684783;r the students. We need your prayers
to help them.

eligible for federal funds for students. It excites me because some young
people wanted to come who didn't have the money. Last year eighteen
students received approximately $15,000 through this. You should start early;
you will be required to show need of federal funds. I learned that a Patty
Kay Scotton Memorial Scholarship fund is being established to help needy
students attending TC. This is to honor a woman who gave her li&#6684773; to the
Church. I praise God because He is working in and for TC this year.

4:&#3342382;5 I Have Faith-message by James Stone. Excerpts: Deuteronomy
29:29. (Prayer) I have faith that God is directing the great Church of God,
and that the Church of God will be per&#6684773;cted and presented to Jesus as
the glorious Church without spot or wrinkle. It appears to me that the major
areas of concern are: sanctification, the covenant, the exclusiveness of the
Church, the invisible kingdom of God, and the visible Church of God. These
trouble areas to some are simply the lack of &#6684769;ith to believe what "thus
saith the Lord." The Word of God proclaims: "Be thou per&#6684773;ct as your father
in heaven is perfect." I have faith in the Word of God, in Christ; to believe
man can live without sin; man can be sanctified; sanctification is the second
de&#6684777;nite work of grace in the Church of God. We at the college gladly submit
our education to the revelation of God as interpreted by the General
Assembly. The truths of the Church are the truths of the Bible. I have
&#6684769;ith in God, by revelation, to sanctify; in the General Assembly. I can see
victory ahead &#6684783;r the Church.
There are some secrets in the Word of God. Mark 4:11, 13. Paul re&#6684773;rs to
the mystery seventeen times in his writings. Paul tells in Ephesians 3:1-6
what the mystery is. The mystery that Jews and Gentiles might be gathered
together in one bond as stated in Ephesians 1:10; Ephesians 3:6. That the
Gentiles should be fellowheirs, and of the same body. Jesus proclaimed in
John 10:16; John 11:52 that this is so. The mystery is that the New Israel
of God would not be one nation, but a congregation of all people of all
nations and there would be one shepherd. Today it seems hopeless that all
of God's children are going to come into one visible Church. No Scripture
implies that one is bo&#7471214; into the Church nor the idea of an invisible church.

96 MINUTES OF THE 72ND ANNUAL ASSEMBLY
I have faith to believe the Bible just as it is-one &#6684783;ld and one shepherd; a
visible church-the Church of God of Prophecy. You can't receive anything
from God through education. We should not become so alarmed when people
get con&#6684789;sed on the visible church or the invisible kingdom for the apostles
and the early Church were confused at first. They wanted a visible kingdom
and Jesus to be the king. Mark 3:13; Mark 8:31; Matthew 16:22. Peter
had a revelation of who Christ was but he was looking for a visible kingdom.
After the resurrection, he began to understand the mystery. Luke 24:45. After
Peter received the vision at Joppa, and his trip to the Gentiles to take them
into the Church, the truth of the mystery was revealed to him-God would
call those He wanted to organize into a visible Church of God. If we under
stand the truth of the Church, it is because God revealed it to us. John 9:39.
The understanding of the mystery belongs to us &#6684783;rever if we abide by the
covenant. Let us raise again everything we have stood &#6684783;r in the Church of
God, I have the faith.

5:18 The Church Is Not A Child Bride-message by David Risch. Excerpts:
Mark 3:13-15. From the very beginning of the Church of God, it was not a
child to be reconciled with, though many possibly thought of her as an infant.
They saw twelve men compared to a multitude of Pharisees and Saducees
and the other major religious sects of that day. They didn't see the relation
ship between this handful of men and Jesus Christ; the inward emotion
that motivated them to leave their fields of labor and their homes and
follow Christ, nor the anointing that God would give to them, nor the plan of
God or Jesus preparing the Church &#6684783;r His Bride. The Bible says they were
commissioned to go forth and preach. It took men of faith, spiritually strong,
who had a vision. People like Peter and John later could say, "such as I have,
give I unto thee." These men were full of the Holy Ghost.
The early Church members who helped grant the signing of the Nicene

MINUTES OF THE 72ND ANNUAL ASSEMBLY 97
Creed were full of weaknesses and could not stand upon the truth. The ones
who gave their lives rather than deny the great Church of God and her
beautiful doctrine showed spiritual maturity. These proved to us that we can
promote the Church of God under any condition. John 10:10 bears witness
that a man-sized foe is present. We must possess the same qualities of those
who stood upon the truth in the early Church and would rather &#6684769;ce death
than switch their belief. People who are established in the truth are not
children. I am speaking of spiritual maturity that is going to prove to the world
that the Church is the Church. Let us think about a child bride in the
natural. There was a time when mom and dad paid all the bills; but as a
husband and wife, this becomes their responsibility. Many cannot cope with
the responsibility. Mother was forsaken for the new love. Paul said to leave
mother and father and be joined with the wife. They learn to build a house.
The same things that break up a home try to enter in and break up the
Church. When there are di&#6684774;erences in the doctrine, church finance, or what
ever, the matured members will hear each other out and they will bring
peace within the body-the bride. Some feel theocratic government is too
strict, but the Church of God will accept theocratic government.
I believe out of the ranks here, that some ate going to accept a call into
the mission field. The field is the world, and God will work through His body
until the whole world is covered. A minister who will not preach the message
of the Church shows a sign of childishness. If we preach something that is
not outlined by the General &#4259955;sembly, we are spiritually weak. I feel that
we are &#6684783;llowing the divine order of God. The Assembly is helping us stay
in line; the Holy Ghost is working through this great body. Ephesians 4:14.
I believe it is time to put away all childish things and weaknesses and
become one. 2 Peter 1:12 admonishes the Church to be established in the
present truth. This truth has been tried and proven. God has placed all
the necessary things in the Church. He has given us the Holy Ghost; the
ministry for the per&#6684773;cting of the Saints. The Church cannot be considered a
child bride-an infant struggling &#6684783;r survival. She is aware of an inward
glori&#6684777;ed propelling force that is taking her along with the grace of God toward
per&#6684773;ction. It is sad for those who have &#6684769;llen by the wayside, but I encourage
you not to join the ranks of those who have left, but stay in the ship.

7:12 News Briefs &#6684786;om Around the World by Mission Representatives:
Asia, A&#6684786;ica and Australia-Roy D. Mixon: Visited many nations in all
continents of the world. On Sunday morning, I preached on the Church, the
beautiful &#6684780;ag and the 29 teachings, the Advice to Members, and other good
things of the Church. The Holy Ghost placed His approval on everything.
God blessed in a mighty way and I was able to establish the Church in
Malawi SundPy afte&#7471214;oon, June 19, with 500 covenant members who enthusi
astically pledged their allegiance to the ensign of righteousness. Kenneth
Nyamhuka, John Beka Banda, A. R. Graut, David Lodges, Amos Makhu
ludzo, Robinson R. K. Nyrienda, H. Janelo, and Yakobo A. Misoya assisted
in establishing the Church in Malawi.
Churches were established in Swaziland with 682 members. Churches have
been established among the white population of South Africa with the
assistance of C. H. Mngadi and Ben Botha. Eighteen months ago, the Church
was established in Rhodesia with 140 members; it has grown to more than
&#6684783;ur hundred members. I appreciate all the Overseers in my territory and
their host of workers. Special thanks to Absolom Ntshangase, Enock Dlamini,
Isaac Hlophe, Enock Mtshali, Abraham John Zande, Fanwell Simon
Kukaweya, Petros Be&#7471214;ard Botha &#6684783;r their assistance in establishing the
churches in Africa.
Alvin S. Moss, Caribbean Islands-The outlook in this area is encouraging.
Our people are getting more organized and established in the Church. I am
grateful to everyone &#6684783;r their cooperation and assistance. The Lord has
encouraged me in my &#6684773;eble ignorance and shortcomings. In the Dominican
Republic convention they sang a chorus, and the sister who was to interpret
for me received the Holy Ghost. At the end of the service, the Overseer
reported that 14 got the Holy Ghost, besides those who were blessed otherwise
and experiences. That alone seems to pay me for all my itinerary. God is on
the throne and is in the Church. I have no questions about this Divine
institution.
7:45 The Varlack children sang, "All Over the World the Spirit ls Moving."
C. C. Shiakallis, Europe-(Presented George Tzangas, Greek Orthodox
lawyer &#6684786;om Canton, Ohio. He spoke enthusiastically about his contacts with
the Church.)
Brother Shiakallis continued-I had a talk with Brother Tzangas; I come
&#6684786;om Greek Orthodox back
&#6750322;ound, and the Lord opened my eyes and made
His mystery known to me. Those who love God, He will reveal Himself
to them and His great mystery of Christ and His Church. I thank God &#6684783;r
blessing in England and Germany and for helping us to get a new building
in Greece. There is nothing like the message of the Church. Thank the Lord
&#6684783;r progress in many other fields. I have contacts and have visited in
France, Belgium and Holland. The Lord helped me visit some nations behind
the Iron Curtain. God wants us to take the message to all the world. I visited

MINUTES OF THE 72ND ANNUAL ASSEMBLY 99
in Bulgaria, Hungary and others, and took some Bibles, clothing and food. I
came to know some o&#6684774;icials of the Communist party, and the Lord helped
me to give them Bibles. Some expressed great appreciation because they had
never had a book like that. In their homes, we had the privilege of praying
with them. The Bible says the Word of God is not bound.
Raul Torres, South and Central America and Mexico-(Edson do Rosario,
Overseer of Brazil spoke. He was unable to be present for representing the
nation Wednesday.)
Brother Torres continues-I visited Spain to do some follow-up work with
some contacts which had been made by the youth mission team. Catholicism
is their predominent religion, but there is a great spiritual awakening in that
nation. God is pouring out His Spirit upon all flesh as He said He would.
South America is also experiencing a mighty move of the Holy Ghost.
Brazil is one of the &#6684769;stest growing gospel countries in Latin America.
Uruguay has experienced approximately 72 per cent increase in membership.
Chile is progressing rapidly. The Church was organized there on June 13,
1975 with twelve members. In the convention this year, the overseer reported
288. I have only mentioned a &#6684773;w Latin American countries; but according
to reports, there has been substantial growth in each country. Yes, the
Church of God is alive and well in Latin America and is maturing so that I feel
we will see tremendous results in the near future. Five years ago a total of
5,744 membership was reported. Today there are approximately 13,440. I have
never seen so many young people so dedicated and so willing to serve the Lord
wherever the Church needs them. Don't &#6684783;rget the words of Jesus, "If you
are going to be Abraham's children, you have got to work the works of
Abraham." The Lord let me establish a Church of God in a new country this
year-Paraguay, South America, by the help of Jose M. Rivera. There are
hungry people there.

down aisles, each with a flag of a nation where the Church is established. They
circled platform, and shouts of "Welcome Home" resounded as these new
nations were welcomed: Malawi, Paraguay, Swaziland, and Zambia. Adrian
Varlack read Isaiah 52:1, 2; 7-10. Congregation joined in singing, "Great

9:20 Coming of Age-message by Adrian Varlack. Excerpts: Ephesians
2: 14-20. The Apostle expounds a doctrine that sent shock waves through the
early Church, especially in Jerusalem. It caused Paul to be shunned and
ridiculed by his peers, and he became an object of constant attack. He spent
fourteen years as the lonely, radical preacher from Tarsus, after which he
made a visit to Headquarters to have his gospel ratified or rejected. He was
given the right hand of fellowship, making him an equal partner in the
ministry and his gospel a part of the message of the gospel. No longer was
Paul the revolutionary re&#6684783;rmer, but he was "our beloved brother." After
fouteen years of hesitancy of the Apostles at Jerusalem, they could no longer
withstand the progress of the Church and the evolvement of its message.
The all-encompassing message of the Church had matured so that the
governmental side had to mature quickly or the Church would fall behind.
The Church as a body must keep pace with the march of world events.
Time is a continual motion and can neither be stopped nor delayed.
For several years, we have preached an all-nations message. We have
taught equality, justice and &#6684769;irness and perfection. We have preached a
great in-gathering; stressed Bible government and obedience; stated our goal
of evangelizing the world. Are we thriving upon a dream, or do we intend
to pay the price? The initial period of the Church's Arise Shine is over,
and we are brought face to &#6684769;ce with reality. We are witnessing the coming
of nations, and we must face consequences. Citizenship carries grave responsi
bilities which they must shoulder and share in the financial and governmental
burdens of the Church. One of our distinguishing marks as the Church is
our willingness to constantly review what we have done in the light of the
unchangeable Word of God. We must develop an approach to our message
that creates a willingness to listen on the part of our hearers. We must
constantly strive to avoid discrimination and have a willingness to admit our
errors. The call of this message is &#6684783;r maturity in every phase of the Church.
We are on the verge of a glorious golden opportunity. Let the Church be
truly the Church of all Nations-the Church of the Bible!

10: 15 Spreading Beyond Our Borders-Pat Fisher, OK. Comments: A few

102 MINUTES OF THE 72ND ANNUAL ASSEMBLY
years ago we were dissatisfied �ith what we had, and we formed a home
mission team of young people &#6684786;om various churches. We were trying to spread
our borders to gain new souls and build up weak churches. The last six years,
approximately fifty young people have come to this team, trained, serviced
and now serving in many other capacities. The work goes on because other
young people have taken their places. If those in larger churches could just get
the vision like Paul-come over and help us, we would not be satisfied
anymore. A few years ago, I was one of the other sheep. I remember the thrill
when I found that the Church was not in heaven, but that it was really here on
earth and I could be a part of it. God, stir us that we might spread beyond our
borders.
RESPONSE-Shirley Bock: Isaiah 6:8. He didn't give Isaiah any indication
of where to go, what he would do, the cost, nor how long it would take. So
many times we ask questions, but Isaiah answered with: "Here I am, send
me." We have a great work to do in our state. It is small, but the power of God
is in South Dakota. Souls need to be saved. 2 Timothy 2:23; John 15: 16; 2. God
not only chose us; He ordained us to bring &#6684783;rth fruit. He said our fruit should
remain. If there is something within you, let God use it. We need laborers &#6684783;r
God's harvest &#6684777;eld, and we are living in faith that God will take care of us.
Many in the Old Testament had excuses when God called them-Moses
couldn't speak; Jeremiah said he was a child. If He expected work out of them,
He expects it out of us.
10:28 Song in Greek by Tony and Ellie Charalambou.
10:32 Spreading Out Costs-Janice Varlack. Comments: Spread out costs
through dedication and commitment to Christ. Queen Esther is a good
example. Esther 4:13-16. She was committed to saving her people-the Jews.
The 8th chapter tells that the Jews were saved because the queen committed
herself to saving her people-not valuing her li&#6684773;.
Spreading out costs through finance-last year the total mission budget was
over $780,000. The greater portion maintained the work we already have.
Millions have never heard of Christ's love &#6684783;r them. Let us help to reach them
through our giving.
Spreading out costs socially and culturally-several years ago my husband
was appointed to work at General Headquarters. Coming &#6684786;om the Virgin
Islands, there were many adjustments. The Lord has been with us through it
all. 1 Corinthians 9:19-22. Let us take Paul as an example of becoming all
things to all men. Christ h·as commissioned us to spread the Gospel to every
creature. It will cost us through dedication and commitment; through giving
of our means and to make cultural and social adjustments, but the costs
cannot be compared with the glory that shall be revealed in the end.

10:58 Prayer by Frank Howard. Elva Howard told of her personal
experience. She told how she was called into the ministry at the age of twelve
years; huge replica of a rock was placed on platform, and Reed North built
upon it as the message progressed. (Representing lively stones in the Church
were placed upon the rock with Apostles and Prophets, Jesus Christ the Chief
Cornerstone.)
Spreading the Truth-message by General Secretary, interpreted by
Edward Padialla. Excerpts: Acts 7:38; 1 Timothy 3:15. God from the
beginning has sought a people to whom He could commit His oracles. God
&#6684783;und that people in Israel, and He made them His chosen. Acts 7:39. The
people had the oracles, but they would not obey that which had been
committed to them. Physically they did not return to E
&#6750329;pt, but in their
hearts they did. Work halts when the heart is not in it. For God's will to be
done in earth as in heaven, these oracles must be maintained through people on
earth.

104 MINUTES OF THE 72ND ANNUAL ASSEMBLY
It was no happen-stance that Jesus said to His disciples, "I will build my
church." It was ordered in the eternal plan of the ages. Abraham was
convinced of this. He speci&#6684777;ed whose Church-"my church." Jesus said, "The
gates of hell shall not prevail against it." 1 Corinthians 3:10, 11; Ephesians
2:20.
The writing of the prophets and the doctrine, acts and writings of the
apostles &#6684783;rmed the &#6684783;undation &#6684783;r this Church. The apostles were the eye
witnesses of Christ and His glory; the prophets &#6684783;retold. Both had unity with
Christ. The building, this habitation of God through the Spirit, was
beginning. It would be visible; its stones would be people; it would be
spiritual; in it would dwell the Spirit and power of Christ. 1 Peter 2:5. The
Church is composed of these lively stones. Ephesians 2:21, 22. God places us in
the building, and thus the building is constructed. Just as the stones of
Solomon's temple were precision-cut and fitted into the building, we will be
cut, fitted and tried. Only the best will qualify &#6684783;r this building as it must be
faultless. 1 Timothy 3:15. A pillar supports a super structure. The Church is
great, but it supports something greater-the Word. The Church must not only
print the Truth, but it must propagate and live the Truth. "Send the Light" is
a powerful mission hymn. It inspires us because the light is the Word. "Thy
word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path." We must send the
light and we must take the light. Funds are needed on the mission field and so
are witnesses of Christ needed on the home front and throughout the world.

28:19; Genesis 1:26. I see people as God's divine preachers. People have been
made by God superior to all other creatures. People are complex masterpieces
with body, soul and spirit. Man is &#6684773;arfully and wonder&#6684789;lly made, said David,
and that is how I see people as I teach. People are nations; members; and in a
class, fixed assets. We are in the end time, and I realize as I stand be&#6684783;re my
class that I have precious souls be&#6684783;re me, and they must be ready and perfect
for the coming of the Lord. I say this prayer when I am preparing to go to my
class: "Lord, speak to me that I may speak in living echoes of Thy Word as
Thou has taught, so let me teach Thy erring children." I want to be a teacher

MINUTES OF THE 72ND ANNUAL ASSEMBLY 105,
like Jesus. He had compassion on the multitudes and fed them; He was a
master teacher.
Superintendent, Keith Thomas-I was born into the &#6684769;mily of a bishop in
the Church of God. Sunday school was expected of me. I lived in many places,
visited a lot of churches and Sunday schools. I was exposed to a variety of
conditions and to the doctrine of the Church of God. I didn't go because I was
expected to go, but because I wanted to go. I enjoyed the fellowship as a child;
enjoyed listening to my teacher. Today as superintendent, I have a special
challenge; and I realize the importance of our people receiving something
when they come into the house of God. They must feel the love &#6684786;om our
Sunday schools and receive inspired teaching. The Church of God has a real
message. Our Sunday school is to build people &#6684783;r the Church of God; to teach
them. As our Sunday school grows, so does our Church. We must go to all
people and up with Sunday school that we shall be out to the people of the
world.
Pastor, Winston Gonia-That zeal began to work on me as a boy. I sat on
the &#6684786;ont seat. My teachers a&#6684774;ected me. Some would tell about the ballgames
and I liked that, because I was interested in ballgames like any child. What
really stuck in my heart was a teacher who stood before me and preached the
Word of God and the doctrine of the Church of God. It a&#6684774;ected my life, and I
pray it will continue to do so.
State Secretary, Betty Fisher-Sunday school has had a bearing on my
future since I was a small child. My parents saw that I attended Sunday
school. The training I received, even &#6684786;om another church, has had a de&#6684777;nite
affect on my li&#6684773;. After I found the real way of salvation and the Holy Ghost
and the Church of God, Sunday school training has been there to aid me in
Christian living. Sunday school made me a believer: in it, in God, in the Word
of God, in reading the Word of God and trying to apply it, in the importance of
attending church. These things were taught me before I was a Christian.
These things I esteem very highly because they have been given to me through
the Sunday school work. At the age of &#6684783;urteen years, I found the Church and
these things were taught in the Church of God Sunday School. I &#6684773;el it so very
important today to be able to say up with Sunday school and out to other
people, because if it can a&#6684774;ect my li&#6684773;, think of the millions who are being
a&#6684774;ected through Sunday school.
State Overseer, Lawrence Heckert-My first contact with God and His
Spirit came through a Sunday school class in a little Pentecostal church. A
neighbor boy invited me. The teacher told how Jesus loved me and wanted to
take me in His arms. I went my way not knowing how to accept the Lord. My
second contact with Sunday school was a Church of God Sunday School. In
my hometown, they were putting on a campaign. The superintendent was out
on Sunday morning, and I had been out all night. There came a knock on my
door. I managed to get to the door. He told me that the Lord needed me in
Sunday school. I thought that God didn't need me, but I needed Him. I went
to Sunday school that morning. The lesson was on, "The wages of sin is death,
but the gift of God is eternal life." I felt that same stirring that I &#6684773;lt when I
was a child. One morning our lesson was on the Will of God &#6684783;r your life. I

looked at the lesson and went to a corner of the church and prayed through and
said yes to God for my ministry.

2:21 Song by Tom Grif&#6684777;n.
2:24 Special People program, directed by Caroline Ledbetter. I hope you
have been listening to what has been said to you about trying to speak to you
about people, their needs and that our Lord Jesus Christ came and died that
people might have life and that they might have it more abundantly. The
devotional stressed that He came to all people no matter their race or
nationality. In this program, we will speak to you about all kinds of people and
ways we have within the Sunday School ministry to meet their needs and
share with them about the love of the Lord.
Facsimile of a television broadcast over Station WSSB, using puppet
announcer, Walter Concrete. Characters Barbra Wa-Wa and Harry Seasoner
gave statistics of Sunday School enrollment, salvation experiences, rally day
activities and number enrolled in "Called to Teach" courses. They inter
viewed people about: Cradle Roll, Home Extension, Children's Church, and
Vacation Bible School.

MINUTES OF THE 72ND ANNUAL ASSEMBLY 107
2:50 Song by: Betty Barker; Verlin and Joy Thornton and Ann Rickard.
3:00 Comments by General Secretary (congregation rejoicing) I appreciate
Brother Tomlinson's emphasis on the &#6684769;mily. We are in troubled waters and
we need the strength of our &#6684769;milies. If we have weak families, we are going to
have weak churches. Psalm 127:1. I can't build this boy (his son), but God can
build him through me.
Interpretation of Holy Ghost message-"My truths, my truths were dug out
by people on their knees. And I say unto thee, thou shall not reach glory unless
thou walk through this life on your knees. Thou art standing too tall be&#6684783;re
me. Thou art subject to fall within thyselves. I say unto thee, my people, get
upon thy knees and walk and thou shall find it is not hard to &#6684783;llow me. Oh,
my people, my people, I am with thee. I am with thee. I love thee. I will be
with thee, only keep my commandments. I will be with thee. I love you, only
do my will."
(Asked General Overseer and wi&#6684773; to come on plat&#6684783;rm.) Our General
Overseer has been inspired in promoting the family altar. Last year on this
Assembly platform, the Holy Ghost launched this project. I want, as the
Church of God, this year to bolster this project. (Presented the Tomlinsons
with an altar at which they knelt and prayed.)
Interpretation of Holy Ghost message-"! say unto thee that this man I
have placed over thee shall lead thee and bless thee and shall be thy leader,
yea, until his death ... thou hast plenty and is planned for years for other
things. I say, unless thou shall repent, thou shall not be here, thou shall not be
in my body, but; yea, I say unto thee, those of thee that will receive a crown I
say unto thee, tend to thy business, and thy business is to be faithful to me
unto death. Yea, this is my body and I have made plans; I have made plans &#6684783;r
her to &#6684777;nish the work. And who, who shall be of her and of her leader when I
retur&#7471209;, that is my business."
(Scott Gillum came &#6684783;rward and expressed appreciation of his father rearing
him in the Church and his love for his father.)

John A. Stubbs. Comments by Superintendent; introduction of staff and
houseparents. Children sang and read poems. Superintendent continued
appreciates support given the homes. In India and Indonesia the children's
homes are used as outreach for the local church. They have school facilities,
and they teach all types of children. Their parents don't mind because it is
school. The Lord said that He was going to plead with all &#6684780;esh. In India, the
Overseer takes the children and visits villages. I saw an outpouring of the Holy
Ghost in the convention and some of the villages. Your coupons are very
valuable and helpful to the Church. The Lord bless you.

Promoting Good Public Relations Through Television-J. E. Singleterry.
Comments: It has been my joy the past two years to be in the television
ministry. It is not only a medium of promoting public relations, but it is one of
the greatest vehicles &#6684783;r soul winning. The past .two years, I have had the
pleasure of working with the PTL Club of Charlotte, North Carolina, and in a
local television station in Canton, Ohio. I made trips to Mississippi working on
television there where the station covers most of the state as well as Arkansas
and Louisiana. Many times I used Ephesians 1:10. In my local church, some
have come from across town saying they had watched television. Thousands
are waiting for someone to show them the way to Zion. They cannot ask unless
you put yourself out there. You are the one who knows the way to Zion.
I was in a telethon for the PTL Club in Greenwood, Mississippi with all
expenses paid. We had twelve telephones, and at one session, every counselor
was a Church of God member except one. In February, I was invited to
Charlotte, North Carolina, as a guest &#6684783;r five days. Jose Reyes was a guest
also. When he was announced as Overseer twenty million people knew there
was a .Church of God of Prophecy in Puerto Rico.
For some time, I co-hosted a program in Canton, Ohio. I have sat on talk
shows with Anita Bryant and others. They will say, your teachings and
doctrine are tops, but why don't your pastors work with us? We have a
world-wide maternity ward a·nd no one to take care of the babies. Pastors, this
is our job. If they were already per&#6684773;ct, you wouldn't have a job. We are given
for the per&#6684773;ction of the saints. I was at one of the charismatic conventions and
one group that I worked with are putting up a satelite. They said that if your
Church will produce their program, we will show _it weekly, world-wide at no
cost to you. Until a month ago, it would have been impossible to get a
pentecostal-type program on national television, but two weeks ago it began in
Youngstown, Ohio on CBS, and God is opening doors.
7:15 Promoting Good Public Relations Through Radio-Dan Howell.
(Five-minute taped radio broadcast of "This Is Today With Religious World
News" was played.) Brother Pruitt interviewed Brother Howell. The purpose
of the broadcast is to give a cross-section of in&#6684783;rmation &#6684786;om around the world
of all churches. It presents the name of the Church to the public. Most of the
information is received from the religious news service. To get the broadcast
accepted by stations, they are supplied weekly &#6684786;ee of charge &#6684786;om the Public
Relations office.
7:22 Joanna Taylor sang, "Trust and Obey."
7:28 Providing Good Public Relations Through Chaplaincy Programs
Johnny Bragg. Comments: As a pastor, I have &#6684783;und many open doors in
community agencies to minister to people I would otherwise not know. Places
where chaplain programs can be instituted: hospitals, mental health centers,
prisons, police departments, sheri&#6684774; departments, rescue squads and almost
any senior citizens group. Community agencies are open to a community

110 MINUTES OF THE 72ND ANNUAL ASSEMBLY
pastor who will minister in the capacity of a chaplain. If you need help in
setting up Chaplaincy programs, this may be obtained &#6684786;om chaplaincy
departments in other community agencies. There are general hospitals, health
centers and chaplaincy departments of prisons. Most are very eager to reach
out in the community. Chaplaincy work is growing and receiving more
recognition. I presently work with the general hospital and help in directing all
the volunteer chaplains with the five hospitals in the system; work with
mental health centers and direct all the volunteer Chaplaincy work with the
Marshall I. Pickens Hospital.
7:35 Song by Lynn West.
7:38 What Is Good Public Relations-Robert J. Pruitt. Theme: The Golden
Rule-Luke 6:31. Comments: Suppose the Spirit is dealing with you
concerning the Church. You might ask, "Would you be a living example of
your faith," and "do you practice what you pro&#6684773;ss and preach?" Could you
show Scriptural &#6684783;undations &#6684783;r your faith? John 14:6. You would seek
literature or other sources of in&#6684783;rmation; would not expect the person to joke
about the observances and practices he professes; be patient, because it takes
time to shake o&#6684774; former training. Almost every day you will meet somebody
who is a prospect for salvation and the common faith, as Jude spoke of it. The
Apostle Peter was not apologizing to the lame man at the gate when he said,
"Such as I have give I thee." The world is looking &#6684783;r reality. There is a
tendency to put on a show, but we really need the Spirit of God behind what
we do and say, and that will convince men who are looking &#6684783;r truth. Do not
apologize for our faith. Let us believe in what we are and what we do. Let us be
real.

As SERVICEMEN'S REPRESENTATIVE, I visited with Chaplains:
Kurbis, Crews, Stephenson and Brown. I attended and spoke in four retreats.
I gave a luncheon for the military personnel attending BTI in Cleveland,
Tenn. I visited and was in worship se&#7471222;ices with servicemen in Germany,
Colorado, Hawaii, Guam, Korea, Alaska, Wyoming, North Carolina and
South Carolina; sent the monthly "Servicemen's News" to approximately
600 military families, gave attention to many letters and answered
Bible questions for several. I worked in the o&#6684774;ice 171-1/2 days and 112 even
ings at home, also served as Editor of the Servicemen's News.
My association, fellowship and work with the military families has been an
enjoyable experience. I trust I have been an inspiration and have encouraged
several to become more active in witnessing and opening missions for Christ
and His Church.
AS TOMLINSON COLLEGE CHAPLAIN AND TEACHER, I taught a
weekly class in Orientation in the Church of God of Prophecy, moderated two
Spiritual Emphasis Revivals and supervised Communion and Feet Washing
Service, moderated Tuesday and Thursday Chapel Services and scheduled
the speakers. I attended weekly sta&#6684774; meetings, the baccalaureate and
commencement services. I set up after school o&#6684774;ice hours on Tuesdays and
Thursday evenings at the Chaplains' o&#6684879;ce on campus. Jerry Shavers, the
student Chaplain, and I worked together with the Dean of students, James
Stone, in providing the proper spiritual activities at Tomlinson College.
My work and travels took me into 6 nations, 12 states and· 22 local
churches. Along with my duties I served on the World Mission Committee, the
World Construction Committee and Its Inner Committee and as secretary to
the Editorial Committee on Doctrine and wrote articles &#6684783;r both the "Service
men's News" and the "White Wing Messenger". I sent out a pastor's mailing.
It has been an enjoyable and educational year for me.

8:10 Gospel Mirror and Laver of Looking Glasses-message by William H.
Brooks. Excerpts: Exodus 38:8. When Moses smote the rock, water came
abundantly. Numbers 20:11. Paul referred to this experience in 1 Corinthians
10:4. David foretold Christ's resurrection in Psalm 16:10. Daniel 3:25. When
the Israelites marched through the wilderness, they carried their church with
them and called it the tabernacle. The laver in that ancient tabernacle was a
basin in which the priests washed their hands and feet. The basin was made of
looking glasses of the women who attended the tabernacle. They were made of
a superior quality of brass, which served a two&#6684783;ld purpose: furnished water in
which the priests washed themselves and showed the spots of pollution on the
face which needed cleansing.
The gospel is the only mirror of looking glass in which a man can see himself
as he really is. There are mirrors that flatter; others that distort &#6684773;atures. This
gospel mirror shows the soul its need of divine cleansing. I am not talking
about bad habits; but about a sinful nature, the source of all bad thoughts and

MINUTES OF THE 72ND ANNUAL ASSEMBLY 113
actions. If you could catch a glimpse of your natural heart, you would cry in
amazement. The gospel &#6684777;rst cuts down our pride and self-su&#6684774;iciency. John
12:42, 43. No wonder Jesus spoke so strongly about the duty of confessing
Him. If a person does not &#6684773;el his lost condition, he has no desire for the gospel.
Some have been made to believe they are good and only need a little fixing up.
We ministers need to proclaim the truth that this race is on the verge of ete&#7471214;al
disaster and torment. The Word of God declares the sinners are lost.
The !aver of looking glasses in which the priests washed was filled with &#6684786;esh
water every mo&#7471214;ing. The gospel of Jesus Christ is &#6684786;esh every day. 1
Corinthians 10:4. When you stand be&#6684783;re the gospel mirror, do you see one who
is spiritually asleep? The prophets vainly tried to awaken the people out of
spiritual drowsiness, but their warnings went unheeded. If you have lost your
vision of Christ and His Church, you need to wash in the basin of the gospel
mirror. James 3:11. Paul was of a band of murders. He assisted in the
execution of Stephen; yet Paul was saved. We have one choice: to continue in
our sins and perish or to wash in the laver and live. The Lord spreads out both
hands. From one hand He &#6684786;eely gives pardon, peace, li&#6684773; and the treasures of
heaven; &#6684786;om the other, punishment, sorrow, woe and the lake of fire. If you
cause the pastor or overseer problems, what do you see in the looking glass? 1
Timothy 1:18, 20. If you preach contrary to the Bible and the Church, what do
you see in the gospel mirror? 2 Timothy 2: 17, 18. If you misplace church funds
or property, what do you see in the gospel looking glass? Joshua 1:6. If you
should defy God's government for His Church, what do you see in the gospel
mirror? 2 Peter 2:9, 10; Jude 4. If you are guilty of such actions, Christ o&#6684774;ers
His saving grace.

Grif&#6684777;th led in concert prayer. Excerpts of message: The Word of God is
our standard. This is the guidelines of the Church. We have the positive and

114 MINUTES OF THE 72ND ANNUAL ASSEMBLY
the negative. Paul said to withdraw yourself from every brother that walketh
disorderly. We are not to retain stri&#6684773;, division nor sin in the Church. The
Word of God is right, and it a&#6684774;ects you and me. Compliance means in
accordance or agreement. I believe we have to love God and keep His
commandments to receive the Holy Ghost. You cannot receive salvation
without godly sorrow.
I have gone too far to preach contrary to the Bible. Instead of getting
weaker, we should become stronger. There is no use talking about the stand
ard if we don't practice it. God loves the world, but not all the people in the
world are saved. It is not how much God loves us that will save us, but it is
how much we love God. We must humble ourselves in the sight of God.
Love is &#6684777;rm. Are we supposed to let people destroy the Church? If we allow
people to disturb the standard of the Church, we will destroy it. We must
continue to practice the things we know are right and continue to agree on
what we have accepted in the Word of God. We must continue to practice
theocratic gove&#7471214;ment-not talk about it, but practice it. It is time to stand
up &#6684783;r the government of the Church. Exodus 33:13-15. This gives the
sequence in which the government of God operates. Moses didn't want to
go if the Lord didn't direct him. This is theocratic government. The General
Overseer is under the immediate direction of God, which is the operation
of the Holy Ghost. The Holy Ghost should be in every appointment. Our
General Overseer is our guide. It is all right to counsel and get recommenda
tions, but the final decision should be left to the General Overseer. Let us
pray &#6684783;r the Holy Ghost to give the General Overseer direction-not criticize
him. This is theocratic government. He has a heavy load.

I have utilized my time and ef&#6684783;rts to encourage and organize &#6684783;r greater
results in new field endeavors and working with small churches to help them
increase their memberships. Our new-field approach has given greater results
by working through the State Overseer's office-with revivals being held in
new fields with district ef&#6684783;rts. Where there is unity, there is strength.
Without the cooperation of the State Overseers, district overseers, pastors,
ministers and members who laid the ground work in many areas, we would
not have had as great results and impact on the community.
I made personal contact in 5 new-field areas. The workers in these areas
are &#6684783;llowing up to get missions organized.

MINUTES OF THE 72ND ANNUAL ASSEMBLY 117
I have realized and see the need of the ministry to evangelize &#6684783;r the
other sheep and not just wait for them to come to us. While we are
waiting, somebody else may get them. There are people who are saved,
sancti&#6684777;ed and &#6684777;lled with the Holy Ghost and starving &#6684783;r lack of spiritual
food. They are searching &#6684783;r the Church of God message.
I taught in a Minister's Seminar Convention in Michigan along with other
Headquarters sta&#6684774;, which proved to be a great blessing to all who attended.
I am grateful &#6684783;r working with Bible Training Institute this year in two
schools. In the Virgin Islands I served as Principal and instructor; in Cleve
land school, I served as an instructor.
There is great concern among our workers &#6684783;r guidelines &#6684783;r working in
new fields with a systematic approach. With this in mind, we are continuing
to seek the will of the Lord to direct. I have prepared a report form to be
approved &#6684783;r a mission leader or new-&#6684777;eld worker to the State Overseer and a
mission treasurer's report to the State Overseer.
I have compiled data that would be useful to all State Overseers and
National Overseers &#6684783;r the year 1975-76. It includes the number of ministers,
number of churches, number ministers not pastoring, number of membership
in the church, population of state or nation and the percentage of people
reached.
I prayed &#6684783;r sick, spoken and unspoken requests and anointed handkerchiefs
giving them to the ones that desired them during the 71st Assembly
in the northeast con&#6684773;rence room. I conducted a business conference in a
local church with delegated authority &#6684786;om the State Overseer.
The zeal is running high among our ministry for Christ and the Church.
Some State Overseers are appointing district overseers in areas where we don't
have any work &#6684783;r the purpose of starting missions and &#6684786;om the missions,
organizing churches.
This has been a good year, and I appreciate the prayers and' cooperation
of everyone who has helped to promote Missions.

Report of the Public Relations Department
August 1, 1976 through July 31, 1977
Through the month of May, we maintained a monthly column in the White
Wing Messenger entitled " 'Good' Public Relations". Using this means of

118 MINUTES OF THE 72ND ANNUAL ASSEMBLY
communication, we were able to provide pointers on "Good" public relations
on a local level.
We continued the weekly radio news broadcast sponsored by the PR Depart
ment, "This Is Today With Religious World News". The program was greatly
enhanced by the use of sound e&#6684774;ects and the professional tone given it by
Dan Howell as newsman. An increase was shown in this project and we have
risen &#6684786;om two stations to five now subscribing to this program.
"The Pro Report" was a new project begun this year which was sent
monthly to all state and national PR directors as well as to Overseers.
It provided both suggestions in improving our image among others and
samples of materials available to directors around the world.
Two tracts produced by the Public Relations Department were revised and
up-dated: "Introducing The Church of God of Prophecy" and "This Is The
Church of God of Prophecy". Two new tracts were written and published
this year: "The Chaplain" and "Have You Ever Prayed A Prayer", the
latter of which was used for the World Invasion Campaign.
Now on sale at the White Wing Publishing House as a merchandise item
is a new appreciation card designed by this department. The card carries
the words "Congratulations &#6684786;om: The Church of God of Prophecy" on its
&#6684769;ce and serves well as a personalized means of remembering others during
their special occasions.
Our general correspondence included hundreds of letters asking &#6684783;r more
information about the Church of God which we answered readily. We also
filled all requests &#6684783;r special news releases on various subjects.
We arranged for the Associated Press to visit our camp grounds in North
Carolina for a pictorial coverage of a baptismal service.
We wrote copy and designed new lay-outs for ads appearing in the local
newspaper &#6684783;r special occasions; namely, Christmas, the Progress Edition,
Easter and the General Assembly. We also provided coverage of Youth
Mission Teams, Thanksgiving and the June 13th programs at Fields of The
Wood, along with extensive coverage of Bible Training Institute and the
General Assembly.
During the 71st assembly the Public Relations Department acted as host
to special guests from outside the Church; coordinated all services provided
by the news media; wrote news releases for feature articles; maintained a
manned broadcast booth which provided 17 1/2 hours of live coverage &#6684783;r
area listeners; organized and operated a staff of photographers; worked with
the Chamber of Commerce in providing bus service for assembly delegates;

MINUTES OF THE 72ND ANNUAL ASSEMBLY
and arranged &#6684783;r special transportation as well as motorcades.

Report of World Language Secretary
August 1, 1976 through July 31, 1977
Read Colossians 1:2b-6, 9-12.
119
I count it a great and glorious priviledge to be a minister in God's Church,
especially this being the last days Church of God. I thank the Lord &#6684783;r the
opportunity to serve as World Language Secretary. This has truly been
an exciting year for this department. God is moving in His Church in the
translating ministry. He is opening up new and exciting doors in areas where
the Church must move swiftly to provide the literature in their own language.
The translators working for the Church around the world are to be com
mended for their most valuable contribution to God's work. We now have very
competent teams of translators in various strategic languages.
I want to thank every member &#6684783;r the outstanding response given to the
challenge placed before us by our General Overseer in his Annual Assembly
Message of 1976. The youth of the Church around the world are to be highly
commended for accepting this challenge and which are rising up with such
zeal and force to raise the necessary funds to do this most vital "End Time
Work". Now we can begin in earnest with our task to "Conquer a Language"
with the last days message in published form.
Personal Report
During this year, I have been privileged to serve the Church as Managing
Editor of the Spanish White Wing Messenger. I am a member of the &#6684783;llowing
committees: Tomlinson Home &#6684783;r Children Board of Directors, Church
Publishing Committee and Communications Committee, and served as
member and secretary of World Mission Committee. I am thankful &#6684783;r the
opportunity to have a part in these exciting committees.
In the pursuit of my duties as World Language Secretary I was blessed with
the opportunity to visit some of the Church work in 13 nations and14 states.

Report of Communications Department Business Manager
August 1, 1976 through July 31, 1977
It is with much gratefulness to the Lord and with praise and honor
to His name &#6684783;r accomplishments that we make the &#6684783;llowing report:
For the first time, the Voice of Salvation is now being broadcast in &#6684783;ur
languages. From international shortwave station, WINB, Red Lion, Pa., the
programs are beamed to Europe and the Middle East in English, French
and Greek languages. From the same station, the Spanish program is being
beamed (daily, Monday through Saturday) to Cuba and South America.
The English Voice of Salvation has recently added a national network of
four stations in Sierre Leone, which covers that nation and reaches other
areas of A&#6684786;ica. Several stations have been added in the United States for
the English broadcast.
We have enjoyed excellent cooperation with State and National Overseers,
State Communications Directors and other church workers in maintaining
established broadcasts and adding new outlets.
The financial support for the broadcast outreach has included funds from
Broadcast Distributors, Broadcast Record Club, an appropriation of Free
Literature funds, and the commercial recording activity of the Church re
cording studio.
Majestic Records has made good progress and now has distribution in

MINUTES OF THE 72ND ANNUAL ASSEMBLY 123
record shops throughout Jamaica by way of Record Specialists Distributors
of Kingston, Jamaica. This distribution promises to expand to alf English
speaking islands of the Caribbean.
We have increased the recording capabilities of the Voice of Salvation
studio in San Juan, Puerto Rico by installing additional equipment including
one &#6684783;ur-channel tape recorder, one four-channel mixing console, a stereo
monitor system, microphones and other accessories. This studio is becoming
more active and will soon be handling a variety of recording work.
I have traveled this year in Venezuela, Colombia, Chile, Brazil, Puerto
Rico, Jamaica, Bahamas and in several states in behalf of the Communica
tions work; handled on-location recording sessions in Jamaica and
Bahamas; attended one district convention, two state conventions, the
convention of National Religious Broadcasters in Washington, D.C., and have
taught in Communications Seminars in San Juan, Puerto Rico, and
Cleveland, Tenn. Participated in the overseer's seminar following the 71st
General Assembly.
I have supervised the Department's engineering operations and the work of
the office staff; answered the correspondence received at my office; operated
Broadcast Distributors and Broadcast Record Club technical and business
activity and served on the Communications Committee.

I am very pleased that the recording studio of the Church in Puerto Rico
has been very well equipped this year. A four channel console, a four
channel tape recorder, stereo monitors and other pieces of equipment have
been added. In addition to the recording of tapes this will make possible
the recording of master tapes &#6684783;r the production of records.
The radio program is broadcast in Mexico, Central America, South
America and the Carribbean Islands and some of the states in the USA.
Sixty-&#6684777;ve radio stations in Spanish-speaking territories are broadcasting
our Voice of Salvation. Recently a powerful radio station, WINE, in Red
Lion, Pa., began broadcasting our program daily. This station reaches
&#6684786;om the Caribbean Islands to Brazil. By means of this station we are

126 MINUTES OF THE 72ND ANNUAL ASSEMBLY
thankful to announce that we reached the country of Cuba. For the
first time we have received letters from this country. A radio station in
Puerto Rico broadcasts our program every day, which covers all the island.
Our o&#6684774;ice facilities in San Juan handles all the correspondance of the
Spanish program. Thousands of letters have been received and many of these
give testimonies of how God has delivered them from sickness and oppression.
The &#6684786;ee correspondance course, the Body of Christ, o&#6684774;ered through the
program, has proved to be a blessing to the listeners. Courses distributed were
1,067 units and 92 certi&#6684777;cates were issued. This year we o&#6684774;ered the General
Bible Knowledge in Spanish and 31 units have been distributed.
The television ministry is moving on also. This year we translated two
more movies-one about the General Assembly and the other one entitled
"The Awakening of a Nation."
I was blessed this year while attending the National Religious Broadcasters
Convention in Washington, D.C., along with other brethren from the Com
munication Department.
On July 29, I was invited to participate in a television program, which is
viewed throughout the nation. This program was sponsored by P.T.L. Televi
sion Network in Charlotte, N.C.
It was a blessing for me to organize a Communication Seminar in San
Juan, P.R. This seminar was about program production, &#6684783;rmats, history of
broadcasting, basic electonics, recording studio operation and acoustics.
Many Church members and others were bene&#6684777;ted as well as giving the
Church a good promotion. The classes were taught by Robert J. Pruitt,
Thomas Duncan, Olfa and Jose A. Reyes.
It has been a wonderful year of work &#6684783;r Christ and the great Church of God.

JOSE A. REYES
Report of the Minister of Music
August 1, 1976 through July 31, 1977
The apostle Paul gave good advice to the Church of God when he said
to sing, "Psalms, hymns and spiritual songs". It has been most rewarding
this year to hear our people singing psalms, hymns and spiritual songs, and
to sing them with the Spirit and with the understanding also. Music is
intended to glorify God and many of our members are &#6684777;nding their calling
in the ministry of music.
I served as Music Director for the Voice of Salvation Broadcast; directed
recording sessions &#6684783;r the Broadcast Record Club. Music arrangements f&#7274610;

MINUTES OF THE 72ND ANNUAL ASSEMBLY 127
these releases were written, arranged, sung and played by my of&#6684777;ce sta&#6684774;
members, Donna Phillips and Ron Scotton. The Broadcast Record Club
continues to exemplify the fine musical talent in the Church of God through
the means of records and tapes and cassettes. We now have available a book
of the arrangements as sung on the &#6684773;atured Bicentennial album last year
titled SWEET FELLOWSHIP.
I served on the Youth Mission Board; Music Committee and the Communi
cations Committee; taught music and speech in the Cleveland Bible Training
Institute; taught in the National Overseers Seminar; made 12 area tours
representing the Music Department of Tomlinson College and directed the
Tomlinson College Chorale where I served as part-time tnusic instructor.
We have published several songs this year through the Voice of Salvation
Music Company and have made these arrangements available to our congre
gations. My office provided materials, handbooks, and songs to the state and
national music directors.
The HORNS FOR MISSIONS project has been a blessing to many nations
in providing needed musical instruments &#6684783;r their worship services. Our goal
is to have each local church in the United States to provide one musical
instrument each year for missions to help meet the needs in these nations.
When this goal is attained we will realize more than 1,800 musical instruments
&#6684783;r missions each year.
Gospel Music Camp continues to meet a need &#6684783;r specialized music
training for our local church leaders. Our goal is to provide training to each
local church music director each summer at Gospel Music Camp on our
Tomlinson College campus. I visited 9 nations and 15 states in my work this
year, served as the sponsor &#6684783;r the Greece and Cyprus Youth Mission
Team, visited 4 State and National Conventions and the Mid-America
Sunday School Convention and several national music conferences, attended
2 Youth Conventions and 1 Winter Retreat.

World Mission Committee Report
August 1, 1976 through July 31, 1977
It is with a profound sense of gratitude to God, the Father and our Lord
Jesus Christ that we con&#6684777;rm the organization of the Church of God in the
countries of Zambia, Malawi and Swaziland in Southern A&#6684786;ica and in the
country of Paraguay, South America. This Committee wishes to recognize
the hard work and cooperation of Bishop C. H. Mngadi of South
A&#6684786;ica (Bantu) and Brother Kenneth Nyamhuka of Rhodesia, who laid the
groundwork in Swaziland, and Malawi respectively, and of Brother Jose

Rivera of Argentina who was instrumental in laying the &#6684783;undation in
Paraguay. The work in A&#6684786;ica was set in order by Mission Representative,
Roy D. Mixon, and in South America by Mission Representative, Raul
Torres. Both of these faithful brethren have traveled many thousands of
miles and worked long and hard. The Committee wishes to commend them
highly for their untiring e&#6684774;orts on behalf of Missions.
The Church in the various nations has shown good increases in most
areas of the work, and we are very grateful &#6684783;r the dedication and hard
work of the Overseers, missionaries, and mission representatives. We have
had several inquiries about the mission field and some have expressed
a willingness to serve. We are grate&#6684789;l &#6684783;r this interest and concern
and trust that the revised World Mission Corps program will provide a
channel of service for our young people.
The October and March World Mission Drives show a substantial in
crease. Last year the combined total &#6684783;r both drives was $312,030.15 and
this year it jumped to $366,161.37 an increase of $54,131.22. We are
greatly indebted to all our Overseers, pastors and members &#6684783;r their unfailing
support of the mission work throughout the year.
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, speci&#6684793;ing to whom or
&#6684783;r what purpose or project the contribution is made.

Report of the World Mission Secretary
August, 1, 1976 through July 31, 1977
In the course of the 27 visits I made to 16 countries and 4 states, I
preached 80 sermons, visited and prayed in 25 homes and witnessed 14
experiences. I attended 14 conventions (11 national and state and 3
ministers) and spoke at New York State 50th Anniversary Banquet. I con-

130 MINUTES OF THE 72ND ANNUAL ASSEMBLY
ducted the funeral of the late Petrus J. Gwebu of Botswana, A&#6684786;ica, and
made one three-week tour of easte&#7471214; Canada with Overseer, E. E. Van De
venter. I organized and coordinated an orientation seminar for National and
Territorial Overseers immediately &#6684783;llowing the General Assembly and
assisted in organizing and coordinating the 1977 Youth Mission Teams.
In addition to attending to administrative work of the department, it was
my privilege to serve the Church on the &#6684783;llowing boards and committees:
Youth Mission Board, World Missions, Bible Training Institute, Tomlinson
Home for Children, and Ministerial Aid.
I attribute the progress and success of the work to the outstanding
e&#6684774;orts, cooperation and dedication of the Mission Representatives and Over
seers, and to the e&#6684774;icient sta&#6684774; of the Mission Department.
I wish to thank our General Overseer and his sta&#6684774; for the invaluable assist
ance, advice and instructions received this year. The various department
heads and other appointees have shown us much consideration and under
standing.

RAUL TORRES
Report of the European Mission Representative
August 1, 1976 through July 31, 1977
With a thankful heart to our Lord for another year of service for His
Church I wish herewith to give this report &#6684783;r His glo&#7471225;.
During this year I have visited the &#6684783;llowing countries: Belgium, Holland,
Germany (three times), France (twice), Italy, Greece and Cyprus (twice),
Turkey, Bulgaria, Yugoslavia, Hungary, Czechoslovakia, Austria, Portugal,
Switzerland and Canada. Much experience was gained and many contacts
have been established in these nations with many opportunities to present the
Church of God message.
I took part in the winter retreat with the servicemen in Germany, attended
the ministers convention in England, attended two district conventions and
five national conventions. Also, attended the World Pentecostal Con&#6684773;rence
in London and had the opportunity of getting acquainted with a number of
leaders in the movement &#6684786;om both the Communist and Western countries.
I have taken care of all my office work, keeping in touch with all those
connected with the Church work in my area and with the many contacts and
acquaintances in the various countries we visit; contacted a number of Voice
of Salvation listeners who responded to the broadcasts &#6684786;om Radio Manse
in the Isle of Man. While at home in London, besides my other duties, I
devoted part of my time to the Greek work.
I wish to express my great appreciation to our General Overseer, to the
World Mission Department, to the Overseers in my territory and to all the
Departments of the Church &#6684783;r their brotherly love, their kind cooperation and
encouragement which helped me to ful&#6684777;l my duties.

PERSONAL REPORT
Read Isaiah 2:2, 3.
By the grace of God and no strength of my own, I am indeed glad to

daining six Bishops and seven Deacons, assisted in Water Baptism services
and other Church duties and services. Wrote monthly letter to 11 Parish
Overseers of Jamaica and 11 National Overseers in Caribbean Area; con
ducted Jamaica's National Convention and served that country as Overseer.

Questions and Subjects Committee Report
This Committee wishes to praise God for sustaining our General Overseer
throughout the past year. We feel that the zeal and enthusiasm with which
he delivered his timely Annual Address was an inspiration to the entire
Assembly. May we offer opportunity for a voluntary expression of love and

MINUTES OF THE 72ND ANNUAL ASSEMBLY 135
appreciation for our anointed leader by a standing ovation at this time.
SECTION 1
Whereas Bishop Ray C. Wynn has served faith&#6684789;lly as a member and chair
man of this Question and Subjects Committee through the last Assembly, we
wish to express our appreciation to him for his invaluable service to the
Church of God while serving on this committee. His good spirit and words
of wisdom are missed in our committee meetings. May God continue to bless
Brother Wynn in all his work is our sincere prayer.
SECTION 2
Bishop J. W. Reeves, Sr. has &#6684769;ithfully served as a member of the Question
and Subjects Committee &#6684783;r several years. He won the admiration and
respect of those who served with him. We wish to express our appreciation
to him for his invaluable service to the Church of God while serving on this
committee. His good spirit and words of wisdom are missed in our committee
meetings. May God continue to bless Brother Reeves in all his work is our
sincere prayer.
SECTION 3
In the 56th Assembly, 1961, a "Home Mission Worker" was appointed. We
recommend this title be changed to "Home Mission Representative".
SECTION 4
In the 55th Assembly, 1960, a General Bible Training Camp Principal was
appointed by the General Overseer. In the 63rd Assembly, 1968, the title
was changed to "General Bible Training Institute Principal". We recommend
this title be changed to "General Bible Training Institute Representative".
We further recommend that the "Bible Training Department Committee"
that was accepted in the 63rd Assembly, 1968, be changed to read, "Bible
Training Institute Committee" and that the General Overseer appoint said
committee at the same time he appoints the other Headquarters Committees.
SECTION 5
In the 57th Assembly, 1962, the General Overseer was authorized to set
the dates &#6684783;r the General Assembly. Inasmuch as those pastors changing
churches begin their new pastorate the &#6684777;rst Sunday in August, the expense of
moving plus the attending of the Assembly immediately tends to impose a
financial hardship on them. Also, when the Assembly is conducted so soon
following the state convention, there is very little time for our churches to
prepare their Assembly offerings. We there&#6684783;re recommend that the General
Overseer give consideration to setting the time for the Assembly at a later
date.

136 MINUTES OF THE 72ND ANNUAL ASSEMBLY
SECTION 6
We recommend that the name of the present "Editorial Committee on
Doctrine" be changed to "Editorial Committee on Church Doctrine, History
and Polity" in the interest of Church unity; and that this committee make
final decisions on all materials published by the Church, through any of its
official departments, relative to Church Doctrine, history or polity. We
further recommend that all such materials be duly approved be&#6684783;re they
are used in any official way and that such designation be stated on the printed
item.
SECTION 7
The Cleveland Cable TV Company submitted to the Church some possibili
ties regarding cable television for the General' Assembly on their system in
the Cleveland area. Included will be coverage of the General Assembly to over
&#6684780;ow crowds at some of the local churches. This would require the
purchase and installation of equipment and use of the cable system for the
week of the Assembly at a feasible cost. Should the system be used between
Assemblies, an unlimited time could be acquired at a very minimal cost.
Projections relative to the potential number of homes served in the Cleveland
area through this cable TV service would be 9,200. The Manager of the
system has been very cooperative and displays a keen interest in having us use
the TV Cable transmissions. Communications Committee members will be
glad to assist in any way possible in e&#6684774;ecting the cable coverage desired.
This committee recommends that the General Properties Committee give
this proposal further consideration and if they deem it wise, proceed with
arrangements for this project.
SECTION 8
In the Assembly of 1975, recommendation was made that we discontinue
the pursuit of accreditation of Tomlinson College, inasmuch as the require
ment of accreditation appeared to limit the operation of the college in the
context of theocratic government. In view of recent developments, it now
seems there is a possibility for the college to become accredited wherein the
college could operate without any outside interference and that the Church
would have full control of its operation without compromising theocratic
government.
The Tennessee Higher Education Commission has strongly encouraged
Tomlinson College to seek accreditation to insure its continued operation.
The present authorization by the Tennessee Higher Education Commission to
operate for the 1977-78 academic year is contingent upon the college's con
tinuing to seek accreditation.

MINUTES OF THE 72ND ANNUAL ASSEMBLY 137
We there&#6684783;re recommend that the Tomlinson College Board of Directors be
authorized to further explore the possibilities for accreditation of the College.
SECTION 9
In view of the questions that are constantly being raised with regards to the
uniqueness of the Church as the "One Fold," we recommend this Assembly
rea&#6684774;irm its position that we are "The Church of God" as recorded by the
Apostle Paul in 1 Corinthians 1:2 and by Luke in Acts 20:28, and that this is
"The Body of Christ".
SECTION 10
We wish to commend the Ministerial Aid Committee on its New Retire
ment Income Plan. We would like to encourage our ministers, where possible,
to participate in it.
The Church is experiencing increasing needs in the field of insurance. Since
the Church Bene&#6684777;t Association was set up for the purpose of working to pro
vide for these needs, we recommend that consideration be given to work
toward coordinating where practical, all insurance programs connected with
the Church through the Church Bene&#6684777;t Association.
SECTION 11
In view of the fact that the Church is now on the threshold of experiencing
phenomenal growth, and such growth will no doubt bring an increase in
problems to be dealt with as Satan steps up his attacks against the Body
of Christ, it is apparent that the workload of the General Overseer is increas
ing yearly. We feel that this Assembly should make some provision &#6684783;r
special assistance to him with his work.
Inasmuch as there is a large number of retired ministers living in Cleveland
who could render e&#6684879;cient se&#7471222;ice as emissaries of the General Overseer
on special occasions as the needs may arise, we recommend he be authorized
to select and use any of these or others whom he &#6684773;els would be suitable to
assist him when needed.
Since there would likely be some expense incurred in their work, we re&#6684773;r
the matter of providil1g for their expenses plus any remuneration &#6684783;r their
services to the Ways and Means Committee &#6684783;r their consideration.
All subjects presented to this committee have been prayerfully considered,
some of which we &#6684773;lt deserved further consideration be&#6684783;re 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 the entire
body. The committee expresses appreciation to all our people who have
prayed for our deliberations.

Report of Counseling Committee
August 1, 1976 through July 31, 1977
We met in seven counseling sessions and were able to speak to a number
of persons, but there were many whom we were not able to meet because
of some not knowing where the Committee was meeting; and, also, the time,
even though we met for over twenty hours.
We apologize for our inability to meet with all those who desired counseling,
with the hopes the necessary facilities could be provided for any committee
which might be appointed in the future for this purpose.
All parties presenting subjects to this Committee have been counseled
with and the subjects have been prayerfully considered, some of which we felt
deserved further consideration before being presented to the Assembly or
other executive branches. Other subjects which we felt would be a blessing to
the entire body have been passed on to the Committees to be disposed of at
their discretion.
We wish to commend all those who came before this Committee for the
good spirit mani&#6684773;sted. We found a great concern among the ministry, a
great love for the Church of God and It's teachings, and a strong desire to
promote the doctrine of the Church instead of ideas and opinions.
It should be of interest to the Assembly to know that the Editorial
Committee on Doctrine is a standing committee throughout the year and may
be contacted any time on doctrinal questions not clearly understood.

The world-wide Sunday school ministry has been a tremendous challenge

MINUTES OF THE 72ND ANNUAL ASSEMBLY 141
this General Assembly year. As a result of the outstanding and dedicated
leadership of our State and National Overseers, Secretaries, pastors, superin
tendents, teachers and Sunday school sta&#6684774; members, this department
continues to show encouraging net gains both spiritually and numerically.
With the capable assistance of my staff, I have prepared and directed
for the first time a church-wide Rally Day attendance campaign with the
challenging theme, "Vote Sunday School", and that is exactly what our
Sunday schools did around the world. We had a beautiful and successful
campaign with 7,623 visitors in attendance to our Sunday schools on this
special day.
I have prepared our 1977 Rally Day campaign which is slated for November
6, with the theme, "Up With Sunday School-Out to People."
I have prepared and directed the 1977 Sunday School Enlargement
Campaign which resulted in significant gains &#6684783;r our Sunday schools. The
total number of new members added to our Sunday school enrollment during
this campaign was 3,290.
I have also prepared the 1978 Enlargement Campaign with the theme,
"Everybody Ought to Know." Sample promotional packets have been sent
to each State/National Overseer. The Enlargement Campaign and Rally Day
materials are published in both the English and Spanish languages.
I planned and prepared a church-wide project spotlighting our teaching
ministry through a proclamation by our General Overseer and General
Sunday School Secretary declaring July 17, 1977 as Sunday School Teachers
Day in the Church of God throughout the world. The Sunday schools at
large responded beauti&#6684789;lly in honoring the teachers on "their day."
The Sunday School Department has enlarged its teacher-training program
by adding a new teacher-training group study course entitled, "24 Ways to
Improve Your Teaching." This course is available to Sunday schools that have
previously conducted "Called to Teach."
The Sunday School Department has several "firsts" to report to this
General Assembly: We have introduced for the first time, Vacation Bible
School material in the Spanish language. The Sunday School Teacher's
Commentary in Spanish will be available &#6684777;rst quarter, 1978. A new teacher's
manual &#6684783;r our children's department teachers of the "Still Small Voice" and
"Chums for Good" has been published. This teacher's book, "Teacher's
Manual for Little People" written by Bessie Hardin, was in the hands of our
Sunday school teachers, third quarter, 1977. A large-print adult quarterly for
our Sunday school class members who have eyesight difficulties will be
available to our Sunday schools first quarter, 1978.

142 MINUTES OF THE 72ND ANNUAL ASSEMBLY
Our Sunday school publication, "Helps and Hints" which is inserted
quarterly in the "White Wing Messenger", has been enlarged to eight pages.
This doubles the number of pages of "helps" &#6684783;r the local Sunday school
superintendents, teachers and staff members ..
I have prepared two Sunday school issues of the "White Wing Messenger"
and have encouraged the monthly reporting of local Sunday school
attendance averages and the number of persons ministered to each month
through the Extension Department.
I have joined with the General Overseer in promoting family altars which
has been enthusiastically supported by many of our wonderful church
families. We presently have 2,524 church &#6684769;milies united; hand-in-hand,
heart-in-heart, spirit-in-spirit through regular family devotions. Thank God
for such a wonderful response to this project. I appreciate so much our
General Overseer's section in his annual address with regard to &#6684769;mily altars.
It is our prayer that during the year 1977-78 every state and nation can report
significant participation in this church-wide campaign.
In compliance with the 71st General Assembly's ruling regarding a World
Language and literature outreach program, I have prepared a comprehensive
analysis of Sunday school literature in other languages of the world, where we
have organized Sunday schools, and presented this report to the Church
Publishing Committee for their directive study.
A new Sunday school literature study curriculum has been planned begin
ning first quarter, 1979 and continuing through fourth quarter, 1981. I have
prepared the 1979 lesson outlines for our Sunday school literature writers.
These lessons will be Old and New Testament character and book studies
of the Bible.
As General Secretary, I have managed the general affairs of the Sunday
School Department. As Sunday Schpol Literature Editor, I have directed all
the editorial responsibilities relative to our Sunday school literature. I have
directed all our Sunday school literature writing through a dedicated group of
writers.
I express appreciation to the Editorial Committee on Doctrine for their
countless hours, days and weeks spent in reading and approving doctrinally all
our Sunday school literature be&#6684783;re it is presented to the press for printing.
We want our Sunday school literature to be 100% in line with the General
Assembly. Our Sunday school literature is not the voice of the editor, nor the
writer; rather the voice of the General Assembly regarding doctrinal subjects.

coordinator and assistant teacher. I served as board member of the Inter

I count it an honor to have served on the committee with such a wonderful
group of men who have had the vision and foresight to impliment a retirement
income plan &#6684783;r our ministers that will answer the future needs of our faith&#6684789;l
workers. I &#6684773;el this is only the beginning and with this essential framework
for a retirement income plan, we will be able to extend this to our fellow
labourers in the other parts of the world.
I visited 12 states on behalf of the new retirement income plan and was
Headquarters Representative to two State Conventions. I also attended the
Bahama National Convention.

It has been a pleasure to serve as your college president from October 19,
1976 through July 31, 1977.
God has been good to us and has blessed abundantly.

MINUTES OF THE 72ND ANNUAL ASSEMBLY 149
I served as a member of the Board of Directors and performed
duties of the president.
We have been approved &#6684783;r federal financial assistance for qualifying stu
dents. This will greatly assist by paying for or supplementing the students'
tuition cost.
We have established state boosters and alumni associations in many states.
These are a great aid in public relations for the college.
The long-awaited textbook on the History and Polity of the Church,
written by James Stone, is presently being printed and will be on the market
in approximately six weeks.
We are working on an exte&#7471214;al study program designed primarily &#6684783;r
ministers. A pilot program should be ready by early 1978.
The school enrollment is at an all-time high. This year we plan to house
approximately one hundred o&#6684774; campus. This is not desirable because stu
dents will be removed from the center of campus fellowship activities. Also
busing to and &#6684786;om o&#6684774;-campus dorms will add another extra heavy expense.
I sincerely believe it is urgent that we consider contructing another on
campus dormitory to accommodate at least 150 students.
I was privileged to attend seven state conventions and spoke at five of
these. I flew the General Overseer as he requested.
The M. A. Tomlinson Scholarship Fund banquet was a great success. The
response was outstanding. Because of this, many needy and deserving
students will receive tuition assistance. We thank all the participants and
contributors.
The circumstances leading to and surrounding my appointment were very
unusual and difficult to manage; but thanks be to God, &#6684783;r He gave me the
wisdom, guidance, and strength to overcome all of these, thus enabling me to
successfully serve out my appointment.

Report of the Tomlinson College Board of Directors
August 1, 1976 through July 31, 1977
1) We commend our beloved General Overseer for his outstanding and
inspiring Annual Address to this 72nd Annual General Assembly. We praise
God &#6684783;r his leadership and devotion to the Church of God.
2) We praise God &#6684783;r what is happening at Tomlinson College! The student

150 MINUTES OF THE 72ND ANNUAL ASSEMBLY
enrollment for this &#6684769;ll term is at an all time high! The dorm which houses
144 students is filled to capacity! It has become necessary to find o&#6684774;-campus
accommodations for many of our students. The Board feels that it is in the
best interest of our single students to house them on the college campus.
Therefore, we highly recommend that provisions be made &#6684783;r additional dorm
&#6684769;cilities at the earliest possible date.
3) Tomlinson College President Emerson Hall has done a superb job at the
college this year. We commend him, the sta&#6684774; and faculty for the quality
of devotion, loyalty, and leadership which they have demonstrated.
4) The Board is happy to report that the textbook by James Stone entitled:
History and Polity of the Church has been completed and approved by the
Committee on Doctrine and is now being printed.
The Board greatly appreciates the tremendous amount of time and effort
that the writer and the White Wing Publishing House and Press are expending
in order to have this textbook.
5) We are in full agreement with that section of the General Overseer's
Annual Address entitled: "Tomlinson College" regarding the Tomlinson
College Library and Accreditation.
6) We extend our appreciation to H. 0. Callis and the maintenance
department &#6684783;r their contributions in keeping the college grounds beauti&#6684777;ed
and the buildings in good repair.
7) We also extend our sincere thanks and gratitude to each General Worker,
State and National Overseer, Pastor, minister and member of the Church
for their increased interest and support of Tomlinson College. Our appre
ciation is also extended to the General Properties Committee, World Mission
Department, Bible Training Institute, Tomlinson Home for Children, and all
other departments which have so graciously and generously assisted the
College this year.
8) The response to the M. A. Tomlinson College Scholarship Banquet was
tremendous! The banquet hall was &#6684777;lled to capacity with over 230 in
attendance! Several states and some individuals are now offering scholarships
for deserving Tomlinson College students. All of this support is very much
appreciated.
9) The term of E. H. Gri&#6684879;th expires during this General Assembly. He
has been an invaluable member and chairman. His presence on the Board
has made it much easier to solve dif&#6684777;cult problems. He is a man of quality,
integrity, devotion and leadership. He has been a source of strength and
inspiration to the faculty, sta&#6684774; and Directors of Tomlinson College during
his seven years of service. We are greatly indebted to him for his outstanding
contributions.

MINUTES OF THE 72ND ANNUAL ASSEMBLY 151
We o&#6684774;er tribute to the late President of Tomlinson College, Harry Lee
Moore for his labor of love in behalf of the college. In addition to serving
as President, he was instrumental in the formation and early development
of the college and served as a member of the Tomlinson College Board of
Directors. Let us bow our heads in a moment of silent tribute.

154 MINUTES OF THE 72ND ANNUAL ASSEMBLY
Church Boosters Committee Report
Whereas, Bishop Roy H. Phipps, departed this life August 6, 1977, to be with
the Lord, and whereas, Brother Phipps served faithfully on the Church
Boosters Committee &#6684783;r many years; therefore, be it resolved that this General
Assembly, in recognition of his faithful service, stand in sacred silence in his
memory.
DOCTRINAL LIGHT
We in the Church are blessed with a bountiful flood of understanding and
light on the doctrine. Our ministry is authorized to publish, preach, and de
fend this Gospel (doctrine). Such authorization has allowed the doctrine to
flow &#6684786;eely in our churches, so as to keep our people spiritually in tune with
Bible Truths. It is only when this responsibility of the ministry is treated as
selective rather than as a commission, do we find our members deprived of
the necessary doctrinal meat one needs to fulfill the task of The Church.
As long as there is light, there will be no place for darkness-As long as there
is clarity, there will be no obscurity-As long as the ways of the Lord are
apparent, the devil and all his ways will be exposed.
Ministers, the words of Jesus, "My meat is to do the will of him that sent
me, and to finish his work," should be mixed into the very fiber of our li&#6684773;'s
ministry. Since Christ said, "My word shall not pass away," and our hope is
in eternal things, to do nothing less than to embrace all the doctrine shows
wisdom on our part.
Remember Paul admonished Timothy to "Preach the Word," and in
another incident to "Labor in the word and doctrine."
We are very proud that our BTI Department has prepared a Bible Truths
Study Course, which covers the Twenty-nine Prominent Teachings of the
Church. Included are care&#6684789;lly selected footnotes and vital sections pertinent
to the doctrine from the General Overseer's Annual Addresses. Again, the
General Overseer in his address has stirred up our pure minds on this matter,
calling this new course to our attention which we joyfully and zealously en
dorse. We encourage your participation.
This course may be taken individually or by a group. Why not determine a
doctrinal start &#6684783;r your local church this year and continue complimenting it
by a regular release of the voltage of that heavenly light in your preaching of
this sacred doctrine entrusted to The Church?
AUXILIARIES
We wish to express appreciation to every pastor and auxiliary leader for

MINUTES OF THE 72ND ANNUAL ASSEMBLY 155
their diligence in promoting all the work of the respective auxiliaries. We
must always promote each auxiliary in harmony with its purpose as outlined
by the General Assembly. Let us be encouraged to continue our labors
in behalf of t_he auxiliaries, always keeping foremost in mind the Spirit and
purpose of these auxiliaries. The spiritual and &#6684777;nancial growth of the Church
can be contributed to the faithfulness of our leaders and members who
properly operated these auxiliaries. The Church has prospered, both spiritually
and financially, where these helps have been properly operated.
TOMLINSON COLLEGE LIBRARY
We are grateful to God for the tremendous growth and expansion of our Col
lege. More than two hundred and fifty students have enrolled for
the upcoming school term 77-78. This is more than double over the previous
year.
We commend our leaders on planning and erecting the necessary
facilities to accomodate the college. Now the time has come to build a library.
We desire to provide the best possible study area, book selections and refer
ence materials &#6684783;r our students. In reviewing the requirements &#6684783;r accredita
tion, we find that the library must be expanded to accomodate many books
and students. We have outgrown our present facility which is located in the
administration building. So it seems that the building of a new library is very
necessary and warrants priority attention.
The board of trustees recommended that consideration be given &#6684783;r special
plaques in memory of our loved ones, relatives and &#6684786;iends who have passed
on. These plaques to be placed in the library. These would be recognized by
contributions specified for this purpose. Donations by one or more persons
may be applied to a selected project. The amounts and procedure will be
determined by the college president. The college president and his sta&#6684774; will
introduce fund-raising programs in the near future.
This committee encourages the entire Church to give your wholehearted
support in raising funds to build the new college library.
GENERAL PROPERTY
We are very grate&#6684789;l to God, and our people &#6684783;r the good work and for
all the accomplishments, gifts and all the progress on our new world and
General O&#6684774;ice Building which will soon be completed. We can see that we are
getting ready for all that are soon coming into the fold, "God's Fold". We want
all of our people to take pride in our Property and to see to it that it is
respected by all and kept in good condition.

Ways and Means Committee Report
SECTION 1
Accolade
"And they said, Let us rise up and build. So they strengthened their
hands for this good work." Nehemiah 2:18.
We are grateful to our Heavenly Father for His wonderful providence in the
operation of the government of the Church of God, &#6684783;r our anointed General
Overseer and all of our &#6684769;ithful ministers and members in the Church through
out the world.
And we commend you for faithfully contributing to the General Properties
Fund, enabling the World Headquarters Construction Committee to proceed
with the building plan.
We wish to encourage all to contribute to the General Properties Fund.
SECTION 2
Section 11, Item 8 of Ways and Means Report of 71st Annual Assembly
Minutes reads: We recommend that $100.00 be contributed &#6684786;om the general
funds for each $100.00 contributed from the state funds &#6684783;r the purpose of
opening up new fields, and that the amount &#6684783;r any one state be limited to
$1,&#3145776;0.00, with special consideration given to not self-supporting states for
additional help. In case a state has no funds &#6684783;r this purpose and desires help
&#6684786;om the General Headquarters to open a new field, the General Overseer
and the General Treasurer may use their discretion in assisting in such cases.
We recommend that there be a second paragraph to Item 8, reading: That
the larger states not request the fund unless it is especially needed and that
special consideration be given to the states with less than 500 members by in
creasing the contribution to $1,500.&#3145776; and $2,000.00 to states with 300
members or less if funds are available.
SECTION 3
What is surplus tithes in the local church? Surplus tithes in the local church
is that amount of tithes left after 10% has been paid to General Treasurer, 10%
to State or National Treasurer and the monthly allotment to the Pastor.

MINUTES OF THE 72ND ANNUAL ASSEMBLY 157
This accruement of surplus tithes each month in the tithing fund of the
local church is not to be used but left in the treasury until the last Sunday in
June.
In other words, only the 10% of the tithes that goes to the General Treasurer
and the same amount that goes to the State or National Treasurer and the
Pastor's allotment is to be disbursed monthly from the tithe &#6684789;nd of the
local church. After the last Sunday in June, the accrued surplus tithes are to
be disbursed as already defined in the Church Business Guide.
SECTION 4
Section 11, Paragraph 3 of Item 12 of Ways and Means Report of the 71st
Annual Assembly Minutes reads: 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:
We recommend that the words "and these are set according to the
economic standard of each country," be changed to read: "allotments be set
according to the average prevailing wage rates of each country and the finan
cial resources of the World Mission Committee".
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.
SECTION 5
Since the Radio Department has been receiving an annual allotment from
Free Literature &#6684789;nds and since the General Assembly Free Literature o&#6684774;ering
is now being used &#6684783;r translation and printing, we recommend that this
annual Radio Department allotment be paid from the General Funds, and
the allotment be $16,000.00 &#6684783;r this next Assembly year.
SECTION 6
We wish to commend the Ministerial Aid Committee on its Retirement Plan.
Its limitations are due primarily to insu&#6684879;cient income to provide incentive
to those entering the plan. There&#6684783;re, we recommend that a percentage of
tithes paid by the ministers entering the plan be applied to the individual
Minister's Retirement Plan and paid to the Ministerial Aid Fund, and that
this percentage be determined at the discretion of the Executive Committee
and the Ministerial Aid Committee.

158 MINUTES OF THE 72ND ANNUAL ASSEMBLY
SECTION 7
Section 11, Item 11 of Ways and Means Report of the 71st Annual
Assembly Minutes reads: The Assembly recommends that sufficient amount
of the general funds be used to pay for the first reprinting of tracts &#6684786;om the
translations which were salvaged from the White Wing Publishing House
fire of February, 1967 and new translations and the first printing of each in
order for the demands to be met more quickly. Those that are most urgent
can be printed first.
We, therefore, recommend that the amount to be used &#6684783;r this work be
left to the discretion of the Executive Committee.
We recommend that this be changed to read: "That su&#6684879;cient amounts of
the General funds be used to pay &#6684783;r new translations and the first printing of
each in order for the demands to be met more quickly. Those that are most
urgent can be printed first. The amount due determined at the discretion
of the Executive Committee and the Church Publishing Committee."
SECTION 8
With reference to Section 11 of the Questions and Subjects Report conce&#7471214;
ing the service of emissaries selected by the General Overseer for special
service when the need arises, we recommend that their expenses plus re
muneration for their services be left to the discretion of the Executive Com
mittee.
SECTION 9
With reference to all other sections of the Ways and Means Committee
Report printed in the Minutes of the 71st General Assembly we recommend
that these be carried over this year and be included in this report.
We feel more prayer and consideration should be given to all other matters
brought to the attention of this Committee and we beg and ask you for your
patience and prayers while we search God's will &#6684783;r an answer.
SECTION 10
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.

MINUTES OF THE 72ND ANNUAL ASSEMBLY 159
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 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 11
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 &#6684783;r their substantial assistance.
Commendations are extended to those states whose overseers and finance and
appropriation committees are using state funds to help weak churches, needy
pastors, and new fields.
This committee has given serious thought, consideration, and time to the
problems confronting those ministering to our smaller churches. We realize
that, without the sacrifices made by these ministers, there would be no longer
churches. We do appreciate those who lay the &#6684783;undation, and recommend
that portion of surplus tithes received by the state or country from 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 pro&#6684783;und concern and sympathy with the operation of
our local churches and the heavy financial responsibilities which they face.
With re&#6684773;rence to this knowledge, we refer to the financial system as recorded
in the Assembly Minutes which says, "The tithes are &#6684783;r 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 defined as the
office, duties or functions of a minister; the building in which the business of a
ministry is transacted; thus, the ministry includes any and all phases of the
Church ministry, such as church property, equipment, maintenance, etc.
SECTION 12
Some have experienced di&#6684774;iculties when filing 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.

160 MINUTES OF THE 72ND ANNUAL ASSEMBLY
Also, that the General Church account carry the logo, "Church of God of
Prophecy, General Treasurer's Account."
SECTION 13
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 Publishing Commit
tee. (Ways & Means Com., Minutes of 69th Assembly.)
SECTION 14
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
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 15
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 &#6684789;nds 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 O&#6684879;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 field of labor.
Furthermore, we would both invite and encourage any or all individuals to
make voluntary personal contributions to the Church of God of Prophecy
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 deficit occurring
in the General Properties Fund in making the monthly payments, such deficit
be paid &#6684786;om the General Fund.

MINUTES OF THE 72ND ANNUAL ASSEMBLY 161
SECTION 16
1. The Assembly recommends that the Executive Committee be author
ized 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 recomends that 10 per cent of the tithes received each
month by the local church treasurer be sent with his report to the General
Treasurer, and that the same amount be sent to the state or national treasurer
along with the fourth Sunday offering. In view of the fact that the pastors are
paid by the local church treasurer and the General Workers are paid by the
General Treasurer, it seems logical and consistent to have the State or
National Overseer paid by the state or national treasurer.
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 for countries outside the
U.S.A., that this matter be left to the discretion of the World Mission
Committee.
4. Since the Assembly has left 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 government &#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 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 &#6684773;asible, this is also applicable to pastors and
full-time evangelists. (Note: This recommendation is for 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 re&#6684773;rred to as the Communications Department, we
recommend that, when it is &#6684773;asible to produce television programs, the mat
ter of finance be left to the discretion of the Executive Committee.
7. The Assembly recommends the continuance of the Overseer's conven
tion love offering, and we encourage everyone to stand by your Overseer with

162 MINUTES OF THE 72ND ANNUAL ASSEMBLY
your o&#6684774;ering. It has been brought to our attention that in a few cases there was
exercised some extremity in raising the convention o&#6684774;ering &#6684783;r the Overseer by
making it to become competitive and compulsory giving. We feel that this ef
fort should be a genuine love offering rather than it becoming competitive or
compulsory. We do not intend to discourage the Assembly Band Movement
Secretary's planning which would help to boost the Overseer's love offering;
however, any such planning should be executed by voluntary response. Also,
that emphasis be given by the pastor to the Overseer's fourth Sunday o&#6684774;ering
when receiving it. Should there not be sufficient &#6684783;urth 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 left to the discretion of
the Executive Committee.
8. 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.
9. 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 offering received go to the evangelist.
If a church is too small to sufficiently support an evangelist, we recommend
that special fund raising projects be instituted prior to a scheduled revival, to
supplement the nightly o&#6684774;erings.
10. 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 di&#6684774;erent 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 fees and the amounts of
dues, etc., involving the different auxiliaries and the various departments of
the Church and be sent to the Overseers and pastors of the churches in the
territories involved. It is felt by this Committee that the churches outside the
United States must be as well informed concerning the financial system of the
Church as those in the United States since we are only one Church.
Since the Church is world-wide, there should be no difference shown be
tween an Overseer outside the United States who is a member of the Presby
tery and one in the United States; there&#6684783;re, this Committee recommends that

MINUTES OF THE 72ND ANNUAL ASSEMBLY 163
wliere our international banking system is adopted, the Overseer come under
the tithe system reporting the amount of tithes received from his churches to
the General Overseer on the special report form, and when necessary the allot
ment be supplemented from the general tithes of each respective country or
territory.
We further recommend that the World Mission Department prepare a
notice of this amount in the native currency of each country and forward same
to the National Overseer for the information of the pastors.
When there is not sufficient 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.
11. 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.
12. 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.
13. The Assembly recommends that 20 per cent of the state or national con
vention offerings of the Womens Missionary Band, Victory Leaders Band,
Sunday School, and Church of Prophecy Marker Association be left in the
state or national treasury for the purpose of state or national work.
14. The Assembly recommends that in case of any additional general
workers being appointed by the General Overseer, their allotments be deter
minded by the Executive Committee.
15. The Assembly recommends that if there should be a de&#6684777;cit incurred in
printing and mailing the White Wing Messenger, such deficit be paid &#6684786;om the
General Fund.
16. SUNDAY SCHOOL TITHES: It has been called to our attention that
several churches with the approval of their Sunday Schools, in receiving the
Sunday School offering, receive only one offering; with portions of the offering
to be used for di&#6684774;erent projects.
For example: A portion for the operation of the Sunday School; a portion &#6684783;r
the flower fund; a portion for the building fund; etc.
The Assembly recommends only the money that is used for the operation of

164 MINUTES OF THE 72ND ANNUAL ASSEMBLY
the Sunday School is the portion that is to be tithed. This Committee calls to
your attention that Tomlinson Home for Children money should not be tithed
by the local church.
17. The Assembly has recommended that 10 per cent of state and national
convention offerings and Assembly o&#6684774;erings of the Tomlinson Home &#6684783;r
Children Fund be sent to General Headquarters &#6684783;r the General Property
Fund, and the same amount to Tomlinson College.
18. The General Treasurer send 10 per cent of the Assembly Mission and
Tomlinson Home for Children offerings from each state or country to the
respective state or national treasurer for the general state or national fund.
The Ministerial Aid Fund receives 10 percent 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 from each state or country to the respective state or
national treasurer for the general state or national fund.
19. 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 perform a duty involving considerable expense, the
State Overseer will be responsible &#6684783;r such expense.
20. 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 for other departments.
21. This committee wishes to commend each one who has been &#6684769;ithful in
working in and raising funds through the auxiliaries, as it is by these efforts
that the message of the Church has spread throughout the world.
We urge each local church to operate each auxiliary as recommended by the
General Assembly, Keeping the spiritual bene&#6684777;ts and financial needs before
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
each local church and the Church world-wide in carrying out the commission
of the Church. (Section 3, Minutes of 69th Assembly.)
22. We recommend that on Outreach Sunday (White Wing Messenger
Day), when a special offering 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.)
23. The Assembly recqmmends that each pastor, state and national over-

MINUTES OF THE 72ND ANNUAL ASSEMBLY 165
seer see to it that all monies received in his or her church, state or nation be
handled exactly as stated in the present financial system of the church with
which they should be fully familiar and also be responsible to see that all
monies are used only for the purpose &#6684783;r which it was given or raised. (Section
6, Minutes of 69th Assembly.)

Watchmen Committee Report
We your Watchmen Committee wish to submit the following report:
Our Assemblies are growing from year to year in attendance, and with the
increased attendance, there is a demand &#6684783;r increased supervision. We, your
Committee are but a &#6684773;w among so many, which makes it impossible &#6684783;r
us to have the knowledge as to where we are needed at all times. There
fore, we request that the Overseers, Pastors, and especially the parents accept
a portion of the responsibility of keeping good order and protecting our
beautiful tabernacle and its contents.
There have been many problems, most of which were of a minor nature.
With the splendid cooperation of our people, all have been taken care of in a
satis&#6684769;ctory manner.

After attending the 71st General Assembly, I attended 2 ministers conven-

166 MINUTES OF THE 72ND ANNUAL ASSEMBLY
tions in Idaho and Alaska; 1 district convention in Wyoming; 1 state
convention in Arkansas; 5 national conventions in Australia, India, Guyana,
Virgin Islands and South Mexico. I have preached in 39 local churches, con -
ducted 4 weekend revivals and I was also the speaker at 1 state auxiliary
seminar in Alabama.
I have made two trips to Keeline, Wyo., in behalf of Tomlinson Home for
Children concerning property there. I have also spent considerable time
helping with the home in Cleveland, and have visited all the homes outside
this nation. In addition to visiting the homes in Mexico, India, Indonesia,
and Korea, I visited and preached in Israel, Greece and England.
I wish to thank those who have worked with me. Due to the failure of many
companies to accept some of the coupons that were good in the past, our
help from this source has been less than in previous years, however, the girls
have done remarkably well in redeeming many of the coupons for merchan
dise. The display room has done very well in converting these into cash.
The houseparents and other help in the homes have been most faithful in
looking after the children. The Board of Directors have been most co-operative
in counseling and working with me.
We are encouraging each home to grow as much fruit and &#6684783;od as possible,
and we feel the programs of development in these fields will prove invaluable
in the future. With the unsettled economic situation in the world, I think
the Tomlinson Home for Children Board has planned well and we are headed
in the right direction. It has been a pleasure to work with them.
Respectfully submitted,
JOHN A. STUBBS

The Assembly recommends that the Executive Committee be authorized to

170 MINUTES OF THE 72ND ANNUAL ASSEMBLY
adjust the allotments for pastors, State Overseers, and General Workers &#6684786;om
year to year, based on the previous year's cost of living index.
The Assembly recommends that the allotment of the General Overseer and
that 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 percent of the tithes received each
month to the treasurer of his state or nation. 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
Appointees and the State Overseers 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 feasible, this is also applicable to
pastors and full-time evangelists. (Note: This recommendation is for income
tax purposes only, and involves no extra allotment.)
Surplus tithes accruing in any local church are 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 &#6684783;r those ministering to not supporting
churches or missions, including pastors, evangelists, and others appointed by
the overseer; the 50% that is left in the local church to be used at the discretion
of the pastor and the local church committee appointed by the pastor.
The Assembly recommends that the following words be added to this
paragraph. "That &#6684777;rst consideration be given to the pastor's expense in the
ministry; said expenses being already defined in the Church Business Guide."
The Assembly recommends that all local church treasurers mail their
reports to the state or national treasurer no later than the 5th of each month.
From the funds received, the State or National Overseer would receive his
allotment and expense (if funds are available) according to the rulings of the
General Assembly.
The Executive Committee agrees that all General Appointees receive an
allotment of $1,053 a month, if funds are available; and that incidental
expense incurred by these General Appointees be left to the discretion of the
Executive Committee.
Overseers in the United States are to receive no more than $1,053 a month,
plus an amount not to exceed $200 a month for o&#6684774;ice expenses from the tithes
received from the churches, if funds are available. Any funds in excess of this

MINUTES OF THE 72ND ANNUAL ASSEMBLY 171
amount received by the treasurer are to be kept in the state treasury to be
placed in the general state fund for the state work, especially to assist pastors
of weaker churches.
The Executive Committee agrees that the pastor receive an amount not to
exceed $1,053 a month from the tithes of the local church after General
Headquarters and the State Overseer have received their portions, if funds are
available. This does not include offerings and poundings received by the
pastor.
Allotments for Overseers outside the United States are to be set according to
the average prevailing wage rates of each nation and the financial resources of
the World Mission Committee.
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 General Headquarters. We recommend that the tithes of non-members
that are paid into the local church treasury be paid through the regular
channel the same as the tithes of members.
The Committee calls your attention to the fact that it does not say of
ministers only; rather, of the ministry only. Ministry is defined as the of&#6684777;ce,
duties, or functions of a minister; the building in which the business of the
ministry is transacted; thus, the ministry includes any and all phases of the
Church ministry, such as church property, equipment, maintenance, etc.
SUNDAY SCHOOL: The local church treasurer sends 10 per cent of all
Sunday School o&#6684774;erings to the General Treasurer with his monthly report and
10 per cent to the state treasurer &#6684783;r the general state fund.
TOMLINSON HOME FOR CHILDREN: All Tomlinson Home for
Children offerings remain in the local church treasury and are turned in at the
state or national convention and Assembly. For improving, building, and
maintaining the state headquarters, 20 per cent of the state convention
Tomlinson Home &#6684783;r Children offering remains in the state treasury. The
General Treasurer is sent 10 per cent of the balance and the state treasurer
keeps 10 per cent, or an equal amount. Send balance to the General Treasurer
for the support of Tomlinson Home &#6684783;r Children. The General Treasurer sends
10 per cent of the Assembly o&#6684774;ering &#6684786;om each state or nation to the respective
state or national treasurer &#6684783;r the general state or national fund. The
Assembly has recommended that 10 percent of state and national convention
offerings and Assembly offerings of the Tomlinson Home &#6684783;r Children be sent
to General Headquarters for General Properties, and the same amount for
Tomlinson College.
EMERGENCY FUND: All ministers and members are to pay one dollar a

172 MINUTES OF THE 72ND ANNUAL ASSEMBLY
year, or the amount set by the World Mission Committee where applicable,
into the treasury of the local churches where their memberships are, and the
treasurer sends the emergency dollars as collected with his monthly report.
The Ministerial Aid Fund receives 10 per cent of all emergency money sent to
General Headquarters.
GENERAL PROPERTIES FUND: The Assembly recommends that the
General Properties Fund be continued and 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 a

World Must Be Evangelized
It will take good organization and systematic methods to accomplish this
task.

178 MINUTES OF THE 72ND ANNUAL ASSEMBLY
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 &#6684773;llowship, 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 ef&#6684783;rts.
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 &#6684783;r special prayer are made. Each 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.
Lo&#6488161;l Church O&#6684774;i&#6488165;rs and Leaders
1. Pastor: It is the duty of the State or National Overseer to supply every
church under his jurisdiction with a pastor. Pastors are to be appointed at the
state or national convention and vacancies will be filled as they occur. The
duties of the pastor expire at midnight the last Sunday in July at the church he
is leaving and automatically begin at the same time at the church to which he
is moving.
2. Clerk: The clerk &#6684783;r the local church is appointed by the pastor and this
appointment should be made in the October quarterly con&#6684773;rence. Either a
man or woman may serve. Care should be taken in appointing a qualified
person as the clerk is responsible to keep accurate records of the business and
work of the church, make a record and give date of organization, record the
name and date of everyone who joins, the name and date of each one excluded
and &#6684783;r what cause, and keep a record of deaths.
3. Treasurer. The treasurer is appointed in the same manner as the clerk. It
is advised that one person serve as b-oth clerk and treasurer when satis&#6684769;ctory to
the local church. The treasurer will receive and disburse all funds of the local
church including tithes, auxiliary funds and special funds and will maintain
an accurate record of all receipts and disbursements.
4. Aux&#7078098;ary 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 &#6684777;rst Sunday of August to the October
conference.

MINUTES OF THE 72ND ANNUAL ASSEMBLY 179
Each pastor, with the assistance of the 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 &#6684783;r the
mutual, spiritual, temporal, and social benefit of the members. The pastor
should keep in close touch with the band leaders.
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 O&#6684879;cers and Leaders: The Assembly has authorized the pastor
to appoint a church literature representative, song leader, pianist, organist,
ushers, Public Relations Director, and Bible Training Institute booster any
time &#6684786;om the first Sunday of August to the October conference.
Business Meetings
Each local church should hold a regular business con&#6684773;rence quarterly. It
has been the practice to observe the first Monday night in January, April,
July, and October for the con&#6684773;rence. A meeting may be called any time by the
pastor or State Overseer. A short business meeting may be held at the
beginning or close of a meeting for worship.
The pastor should act as moderator of all business meetings. If there is no
pastor, the State Overseer has authority to act or appoint a licensed male
minister to preside. Where one pastor has the care of several churches, he may
arrange the business meetings for his convenience.
Every member should 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 obsti
nate and contrary, do not run the matter over him, but take up his case
and investigate the cause of his obstinacy; if he shows a 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

180 MINUTES OF THE 72ND ANNUAL ASSEMBLY
satisfactory conclusion, it should be re&#6684773;rred 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.
Suggested Arrangement and Order of Business
Moderator, clerk, treasurer should occupy seats on the plat&#6684783;rm. Deacons
and other ministers seated nearby.
Song service and prayer. Scripture lesson, and prayer by the moderator
asking for wisdom and direction. Song.

The Sunday School Superintendent give report of the work and progress of
the school, including finances, receipts and disbursements.

Un&#6684777;nished business.
New business.
Miscellaneous business.
Adjournment by prayer.

MINUTES OF THE 72ND ANNUAL ASSEMBLY 181
Advi&#6488165; to Members
As a member, you count one and should attend every regular service as far
as possible. &#5374053;member no one can &#6684777;ll your place and the service will be that
much dwar&#6684773;d and crippled without your presence.
Show love and &#6684773;llowship to everyone without partiality. Don't wait &#6684783;r
others to greet you but you greet them.
Show special courtesy to strangers who may attend one of your services.
As a rule, take part in the singing.
Be ready, &#6684783;r vocal prayer when called on or prompted by the Spirit.
Be ready &#6684783;r testimony when such is in order.
Stand by your pastor or appointed leader and assist him in every way you
can.
Always pray silently &#6684783;r the preacher while he delivers the message. Always
live a consecrated li&#6684773; at home and abroad so no one can justly think or speak
of you as a hypocrite.
Guard your conversation. Be careful what you say about a brother, sister, or
anyone else.
Don't be a critic and try to find something in others to criticize.
Examine yourself occasionally and see if you are in the faith.
Don't yield to discouragement or despondency.
Be cheerful and happy and try to make others the same.
Spend as much time as you can in secret prayer. Give yourself all you can to
intercessory prayer. Daily prayers and study of God's Word are necessary and
very important for the spiritual wel&#6684769;re of each child of God; .there&#6684783;re,
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 &#6684783;r 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 &#6684769;brics 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,

182 MINUTES OF THE 72ND ANNUAL ASSEMBLY
lockets and large showy pins-these are also unbecoming to a saint of God.
Rouge, lipstick, nail polish and extremely costly per&#6684789;mes are used to satisfy
the pride of life and there&#6684783;re 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 pro&#6684773;ssional 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
o&#6684774;erings other than your tithes.
Younger members should not keep company or associate too intimately
with worldly outsiders.
Because of the ever-increasing number .of broken homes, separations,
divorces and remarriages, the greatest care should be taken with much prayer
and consideration regarding proposed matrimony.
A member who may have a living companion should not marry another
under any circumstances even if divorced. Neither should a member marry
anyone who has a living companion although such a person may be divorced.
Children are an heritage &#6684786;om 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 be&#6684783;re 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 ea&#7471214;est worker for our church paper-the White Wing Messenger.
These are the last days and perilous times have come and it will require
much 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.

MINUTES OF THE 72ND ANNUAL ASSEMBLY 183
Never form to close an intimacy with the opposite sex even if they are
brothers and sisters in the Lord. Give no place to the adversary. Abstain &#6684786;om
the very appearance of evil.
These kindly instruction and advices are given by those who are watching
&#6684783;r 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 State and National Overseers
Each overseer is to have the oversight of his state, nation or territo&#7471225;, and
together with the General Overseer, will form the presbytery in his respective
area. In addition to his general responsibility &#6684783;r the work under his
jurisdiction, he will be responsible for specific duties:
To conduct or order a general evangelistic campaign during the year. If
there are only a few churches in the state or area assigned 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.
To divide his state or territory into districts and place over each district an
overseer as previously practiced. This is not a rule, but it is considered best
when there are suf&#6684777;cient churches to make it practical. He should conduct
district meetings at intervals during the year where special instructions
concerning the work can be given.
To hold one general convention each year in the area most convenient for
members from all the churches to attend.
To secure the name and address of every bishop, deacon, and evangelist
under his jurisdiction and keep a record of these so he can report to the
General Overseer, if necessary. He will also issue lay minister's certi&#6684777;cates
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 in&#6684783;rmation to the overseer. All new organizations should be
reported to the overseer ..
To visit every district and church, if possible, and look after the interests in
every way, as a pastor over a large circuit.

184 MINUTES OF THE 72ND ANNUAL ASSEMBLY
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 male pastors who are not licensed.
To do evangelistic work in his district. If he has a district with no churches,
it is his duty to evangelize and organize churches.
To conduct 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 he is subject to the State Overseer.

you will accept this Bible as the Word of God-believe and practice its
teachings rightly divided-the New Testament as your rule of faith and
practice, government and discipline, and walk in the light to the best of your
