- -w- -
Held At Home Trouble
Avenue November 29December 1, 1935
- -w- -
lII eeting was called to ord er at 6
p. m. , with special instruction by the
Di strict Overseer assisted by the State
Overseer. All officers were requested
to be present. At 7 p. m. the se rvice
began wi t h song , prayers, and music,
red hot testimoni es and everyone happy, filled an d t hrill ed wi th the power
from on high. Man y that were sic k
ca me to be prayed for.
The Introductory Addre s was truIy wond erful, the Welcome Address
was very, very t hrillin g. Truly we ca n
a y that God is favoring Zion.
Our State Oversee r, A . . Mos,
was filled and thrilled througho ut the
District Convention . His preaching,
teachings, and exhortation' were truly wond erful. Surely we can say like
th e Apostl e Pa ul in Acts 20 :20 "And
how I kept back nothing that was
profitable unto you, but have shewed
you , and ha ve taught you publickly,
and from house to house." Oh, how
we wa nt to esteem our Over eer for
hi s good work, truly we can sa y that
he is God's ano inted.
The Di strict Ovel'seer a nd Moder ator, Frank Cunn ingham, was full of
pep a nd zeal. W e co uld see that the
power of God was upon him an d the
Holy Gho t led him to condu ct the
Convention from t he begi nning until
tre en d. Everything \Va. w(\nderflll
and God got the glory and Our sou ls
we l'e edified.
This was the f irst District Convention held in Nassau . Many ouls were
blessed. It was just one food t id e
day and night. The W. 1\1. B . isters
were on their job. The program began at 4 :30 p. 111 . , a ll marching in
fro nt of the tabernacle with the V.
L. B's and band following. Th e W.
M. B. lead er a nd officers ta lked abo ut
the wo rk and our State Overseer came
behind and clinched the n a il s. The
mIssIOnary sisters> by hard work
ra ised $13.7 5.
There were more t han a thousand
peop le attended the District Convention. Only heaven's r e cor d can
te ll all the glorie of the meeting.
At the close of t he convention the
Overseer a ked a ll that had a church
f lag to display it. Oh, what r ejoicing,
s houting, lea ping and dancing while
we all marched aro und singing the
Church of God Flag Song. The con"ention closed by the Di strict Oversee t" while everybody shouted, "Meet
me at the n ext convention!"

thirty years. I feel no worse for the
strain. I don't ask anyone to key up
tighter than I do, but I do want my
men and women too, to press up close
to me in this wonderful service for
our King. I stood the strain of direct
and cross examination of the lawyers
for seventeen days for this cause I
am giving my life for, and I am expecting a million men and women to
whip themselves in line along side of
me to do a work that will fulfill
prophecy and cause the ears of people
to tingle as they listen in, and hear
the good news.
In my letter to the overseers I injected another sentence that I will
drop in here so others will get it as
well a s the overseers. In mentioning
about some of the churches and ministers not r eporting, and operating as
required by the assembly I said:
"1 do not want to let these matters
drag along this year as we have been
forced to do in past years. And I
want to know if you can assist me in
some way in getting all of this business to going in regular order as
marked out by the Assembly rulings."
I want all of our fighting force to
get stirred up above measure. I have
already started a drive to get al\ of
our ministers to be regular readers
of the White Wing Messenger. A
goodly number have decided they can
raise the dollal' and read the paper.
I am going to make another checkup
soon to see how we are getting along.
I want every mini ster to read these
fiery messages. It is very important.
This is one way to keep up with the
front lines. And I want the fire to
blaze up hotter and higher. This is to
be a wonderful year for fulfilling
prophecy. I want al\ hands to "get
the flam e." Indeed, I fee l that they
must. I think I feel a littl e like Genera l Stark of Revolutionary war fame
when he sa id to his men on e morning
a s they went out to battle-"We mu st
beat the enemy today or Mollie Stark
is a widow."
I do not say it just that way because
I am not counting on falling on the
battle field, but I say, We mu st beat
the en emy and round up a more g lorious victory this year than any year
in our past history. And I n eed the
help of every mini ter, both men and
women. I need full timers. And I am
not aslcing more than our great leader
Paul, whom I must follow. Read the
way he puts it!
"Even so hath the Lord ordained
(it's on His program) that they which
preach the gospel should live of the
gospel." (1 Cor. 9:14)
"'1:)1"" therefore endure (bear patient\y:...'.:.to be permanent---continuance) hardness, as a good soldier of
Jesus Christ.
"No man that warreth entangleth
himself with the affairs of thi s life;
that he may please him who hath chosen him to be a soldier." (2 Tim.
2 :3, 4)
Yes indeed, I think of nothing else
but to have every country in a flame.
To do that I must have a live, wideawake man in charge of every country
with a corps of fiery workers to assist
him. Get the flame. Listen I The revival fire must break out and burn
to the extreme end of the earth. This
s not saying too much. I am not
making my words too stout. To make
them more moderate or weaker would
limit the power of the Holy One, and
this I refuse to do. A few sentences
from my annual address before the
thirtieth Annual A ssembly come in
place here while I feel the flame as
it gets hotter and hotter . I am not one
bit contrary to the Book we have obligated to follow as our only l'ule of
faith and practice.
"I tell you, my beloved fellow-laborers for God and His truth, I believe
what Jesus says about the every creature message, and the all nations activities. I absolutely l'efuse to limit
the power of the Holy One. That is
just what the Children of Israel did
when Moses was leading them from
Egypt to Canaan. W e are warned
against doing the thing that caused
them to fall in the wilderness. I am
going to believe God and His word.
You are going to do the same thing.
In Moses' time the unbelievers a nd
idolaters were destroyed under the
wrath of God but now, in these days,
God is working differently. A f ew
may be slain like Ananias and Sap-
THE WHITE WING MESSENGER, CLEVELAND , TENNESSEE, FEBRUARY 1, 1936
phira were, but the masses are going
to be walked into the Church of God
in a similar manner to the way God
walked the animals into Noah's new
ship. I tell you, they had to come.
And God has just as much power over
men as He had to convert wild, ferocious, blood-thirsty beasts into docile
creatures so they could go into the
ark. They could not go into the ark
until they were saved from their fighting di sposition and bloodthirstiness.
And we are not supposed to take people into the Church till they are saved
and promise to go on into all the Bible
teaches. And they are not supposed
to be always about getting sanctified
and baptized with the Holy Ghost and
fire besides.
"When the multitudes get into the
Church, then comes the time for perfecting the Church. This, then, is the
work of the ministers. 'For the perfecting of the saints,' say Paul. And
these saints are to be made up of the
'all nations' that are to be baptized.
It is the 'all nations' that are to be
taught to observe the all things." And
they are to be brought right up to just
what Paul sa ys:'Till we all come in the unity of the
faith, and of the knowledge of the
Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the
fullness of Christ.'
"Now I wou ld have you to understand that this mass of human flesh
is not going to be just a few as some
would try to have us believe, but rather the all nations. Agreeable to this
statement is Paul as he visions the finishing up time of the last days, 'Warning every man.' Where is any left out
(that is not warned?) 'And teaching
every man.' Again I say , whe re is
a ny left out? Do esn't this correspond
to the all nations that J esus says
must be baptized and taught to observe the 'all things?' And fini shing
Paul's verse it plainly states : 'that
we may present eve ry man perfect in
Christ J es us.' You all know this is
true. I am not alone. But traditions
would have us limit this perfected
rna. s of p eo pl e to only a few. But we
mu st break away from tradition s and
embrace and cling to the Bible as it
is for us today in this great and
mighty last days movement. The few
would do for the past, but nothing
short of multitudes are marked out
for us today. 'They shall not be few'
says the prophet. And this refers to
those who are to be glorified. 'I will
a lso glorify them, and they shall not
be small.' Who is He going to glorify? That mass of people that shall not
be few and shall not be small. Paul
says, 'that we may present every man
perfect.' He also says, 'that he
(Jesus) might present it to himself
a glorious church, not having spot or
wrinkle or any such thing, but that it
should be holy and without blemish.'
And we all know this is the Church of
the Bible. Thi s is the only institution
that we know of that is to be g lorified.
"Our work then is made clear. . Our
duty is plainly seen. Gathering into
the Church the multitudes instead of
only a few. All nations instead of a
few from a ll n ations. No wonder the
mi ssionary zeal is eating us up. No
wonder the states have been having
the spirit of friendly rivalry in trying
to rai se the most mon ey. And when
thi s spirit, like a garment, is thrown
over the people they give of their
means when they don't want to and
when they do not aim to. Some have
acknowledged that very thing to m e.
Thi s is like God getting into the legs
of those wild beasts of the forest and
walking them into Noah's new ship
that had never before been loaded
with a cargo. Neither has the Church
ever been filled, but it WILL BE
FILLED, and the last method to be
employed to f inish filling it will be
the compell ing method. This principle
was shown by the cows that were
yoked up to the new cart loaded with
the 'ark of the covenant,' taking it
back to its rightful owners. The cows
did not want to go and leave their
calves and their home. But they went
anyhow. They had to go, God got in
their legs and made them go, just
lik e He got into Mr. and Mrs. Lion and
Mr. and Mrs. Giraffe and made them
go into that big ship that had to be
filled. To show that the cows did not
want to go the record states that they
went along the highway, lowing as
they went.' This is the work of our
Lord . And HE IS OUR GOD.
"I wond er if we may have some
doubters and incredulous mini ters in
our ranks who are helping us pull the
load and yet they grumble as they
pull. I wonder if God makes them
help us when they prefer not to. I
wonder if they low like the cows and
still help us pull the Church and its
work a I ong. They may not like the
W. ilL B. and say-'money, money,
money, everything is money.' Still
they pull and keep right on the highway that leads to the goal. The cows
took the ark to the big harvest field of
Joshua before they stopped, even if
they did low and grumble and long to
be back at home with their calves.
Some of these grumblers, if there
should be any, are malcing a bee line
for the big harvest field where the
golden grain must be r eaped. Thank
the Lord for the helpers whether they
want to help or not. God makes them
help. They have to help or they
wouldn't. Just this year a man called
me and gave me money for our missionary work and grumbled as he
gave it. I held out my hand and
smiled while he grumbled and pulled
the money out of hi s wallet. As he
handed me the money I had a spell
and thanked him for it while he looked
grum and so ur. I knew the Lord made
him do it. But he was buying souls
and by and by he will get his reward
when he sees the souls his money purchased. His grumbling will cease
when he gets his eyes fully open so
he can see the blessedness of service,
and fully recognizes the power of
God, and the great work for which we
are responsible. With J esus, let u s
a ltogether say, 'My Father worketh
hitherto, and I work.' (John 5 :17) 'I
must work the works of him that sent
me, while it is day: the night cometh,
when no man can work.' (John 9 :4)
And I shall never expect to be satisfied until I have the assurance and
evidence that every member in the
Church of God is a worker."
I feel like renew ing my appeal to
a ll men to stop your idle talk, an¢
work and fight fot' souls. Fill every
country with the flam e. In order :~
get the work done that's necessa ry to
fulfill prophecy the revival f ire mu st
break out and burn to the extreme
end of the earth. Pray to this end.
Wh en Daniel und er stood by books
and otherwise that the seventy years
of the desolation of Israel was about
up he began to pray. W e understand
by books and otherwi se that this revival flame shall spread in all countri es of the world, then let us pray
and work to th is end. Why not expect the flame to correspond with the
one mentioned by the writer of Hebrews who said :
"And of the angels he saith, Who
maketh his angels spirits, and his ministers a f lame of fire." (Heb. 1 :7)
The Syric version r eads ,
~~~
"But of the angel s he thus sai :
Who made hi s angels a wind, and h s
ministers a flaming fire." (Heb. 1 :7)
In r eferring to a great p eople and
a strong by the prophet Joel he says,
"A fire devoureth before th em; and
behind them a flam e burneth. Continuing on down in the chapter it
shows the great people and a stroop;
are going to make a clean sweep.
Nothing shall esca pe them. Can this
be a picture of the Church of Go~
becoming so powerful and strong and
its mini st er s such a burning flam ~,
that will cause all faces to gather
blackness? Can this be the means of
moving the wide world toward the acceptance of our Chri st? Is there anything too hard for the Lord when the
time comes to .fulfill Scripture?
When H e could speak this world into
existence with no material with which
to make it, surely H e can kindle a
revival flam e in every country. Just
as well have the Evan Roberts' lcind
of a flam e in every country as to have
it in Wales alone. Then it only continued a f ew years in Wal es, and we
may expect this worldwid e flame to
continue until the work is finally
finished, and the sa ints perfected, and
the Church r ead y for presentation to
Him who purchased it at such a high
cost-His own precious blood. Get
the flame! 0, get the flame!

Once a year, arrangeme.nts should
be made for a special Hom e Department Day. One day in the early autumn is usually considered the best
time of year. Sometimes it is good to
take the entire day, but when this is
not convenient, the Sunday school
hour can be used with a short program
besides the r egular lessons briefly recited. And also the hour for worship
can be an extension of Home Department day and the songs can be appropriate, and the discourse by the pastor
can be suited to the occasion to encourage the Home Department members. If the whol e day is taken a more
extensive program can be prepared.
But every thing must be suited to the
spiritual uplift of both the church and
school.

BETTY JOYCE STOVER, Va. Our darling littl e Betty Joyce was
called away to be with Jesus, January
8, 1936 . She was born December 13,
1935. She was one of the sweetest
babie. in the world. She had long
black hair and dark eyes and seemed
to love ever yon e t hat ministered to
her in any way. We labored and
prayed and did all we could in every
way but all in vain. When we received word that sh e was gone, we
knelt down and prayed. This Scripture came to our mind, "For the time
is come that judgment must begin at
the house of God: and if it first begin
at us, what ,hall the end be of them
that obey not the gospel of God?"
How I wi sh everyone that read s this
would write me your vision on this
three fold Scripture. God bl esses us
financially on this sad occasion. We
thank everyone that helped
rlifierent ways.
Fun eral services were h ela January
9th, conducted by Brother A. C.
McKeown. The Lord gives and the
Lord takes away. Yet though H e slay
