CONFERENCE PROCEEDINGS FIRST SITTING

The third annual conference of the Arizona District of the Pilgrim Holiness Church convened July 11, 1958 at 9:1.5 a.m. in the tabernacle of the Church of God (Anderson) Camp Ground at Prescott, Arizona.

The session was called to order by Reverend L. W. Quinn, District Superintendent. Mr. Denzel Clouse led the congregation in singing, "The Solid Rock" and "I am Thine, 0 Lord." Mrs. Garth Shay presided at the piano. Rev. Garth Shay led in prayer.

Superintendent Quinn then presented Secretary of Church Extension Dr. R. C. Hawkins who gave appropriate remarks and presented the Senior General Superintendent and our Con-ference Presiding Officer, Dr. William H. Neff.

Brother Neff read a scripture lesson from the fourth


chapter of Philippians. Highlighting the fact of the redemp-tive ministry that has been passed on to us and the great joy of the soul winner in heaven, he urged a wholehearted spiritual unity that will dissipate hurtful divergencies over marginal matters and give us one mind in the Lord to get out the Gospel. He urged that moderation or "sweet reasonableness" be prac-ticed in all things.

The roll was called. A motion carried that the left side of the tabernacle and the

platform serve as the conference bar. It was decided by common consent to adjourn the present

sitting at 11:45 and reconvene at 1:30. District Supeerintendent L. W. Quinn presented a splendid

resume of last year's work and accomplishments throughout the district. The report was received with a rising vote of ap-preciation.

Two new churches, Phoenix, Calvary and Yuma were pre-sented to the Conference. Reverend Howard W. Rogers and the lay delegate from the Calvary Church along with Reverend Charles L. Cooper and the Yuma Delegate were introduced to the Presiding Officer and the conference as they were welcomed by the Secretary of Church Extension.

A motion carried that the lay delegates from the above two churches be seated in the conference bar.

New ministers and their wives in the persons of Reverend and Mrs. Richard Miller, Tucson, Parkview; Rev, and Mrs. Andrew Amos, Tucson, Trinity; and Rev, and Mrs. Gaylord Jordan, Flagstaff, were introduced by the Reception Committee and welcomed by Dr. Neff. A motion carried to receive these ministers as members of the conference.

Rev. S. I. Emery, Camp Evangelist was also introduced. By motion he was given an honorary seat within the Confer-ence bar.

A motion carried to have the report of the District Trea-surer after the lunch hour.

The excellent report of District Statistician Denzel Clouse was accepted with a hearty "Amen".

It was moved, seconded, and carried that Brother Clouse be given the full privileges of the Conference Bar.

Reverend Herman E. Underwood was introduced to the conference as the new pastor at Apache Junction. A motion carried that he be received by the Conference as an ordaind minister and that the Apache Church be taken into the Con-ference.

Rev. Charles L. Cooper gave an outstanding report of the Sunday School and Youth work in the District. It was received with a strong "Amen".

The District Superintendent presented awards of appre-ciation to Reverends Seelig, Shay, and Cooper for their fine leadership in the fields of sign publicity, Advocate subscriptions, and Sunday School and Youth work respectively.


The Report of the EducatiOnal and Examining Board as ratified by the District Council was read by the District Secre-tary. By motion the report was adopted.

Charles L. Cooper, Secretary of the Ways and Means Committee, read Ways and Means Numbers I through IV to the conference.

Ways and Means No. I, creating a District Budget on the same basis as last year, carried.

Ways and Means No. II, clarifying the matter of traveling expense for the District Superintendent as listed in Ways and Means Number 2 for 1957, was carried by motion.

Ways and Means Number III, increasing the mileage rate for travel to council meetings, was carried.

Ways and Means Number IV providing a $5.00 budget per member for Western Pilgrim College was adopted. It was noted that the District averaged close to four dollars per member last year.

The District Superintendent appointed Dick Hawkins and Paul Hamilton as tellers.

The Secretary of Church Extension announced the reap-pointment of the Executive Officers of the District: L W. Quinn, Superintendent; Harold R. Crosser, Secretary; B. Ivan Williams, Treasurer.

An open ballot for two advisory members to the District Council resulted in the election of Howard W. Rogers with 13 of 23 ballots.

SECOND SITTING General Superintendent Neff called the afternoon session to

order. Denzel Clouse led the conference in singing, "My Burdens Rolled Away," while Sr. Quinn presided at the piano. Reverend Herman E. Underwood petitioned the throne of grace.

General Superintendent Neff commented briefly on a short portion of scripture found in II Corinthians 3 ". . . but our sufficiency is of God." He pointed out that this is our genius of success and basis of operation.

CONFERENCE REPORTS

District Superintendent's Report

To our chairman, General Superintendent Dr. William H. Neff, our General Secretary of Church Extension Dr. R. C. Hawkins, pastors, licensed ministers, delegates and friends of the Third Annual Conference of the Pilgrim Holiness Church of the Arizona District, greetings in the Name of Jesus our Saviour, our example and our coming King!

I want to thank each of you for your prayers and cooper-ation that you have given me. We have been conscious through-out this year of the abiding presence of the Holy Spirit.

New Churches Organized Three new churches were organized this past year and are

ready to be formally received by this Conference. Apache Junction:

Rev. Herman Underwood is the capable paster. We or-ganized with eight members in the midst of the fast growing area of Apache Junction. Some would drive through Apache act. and fail to realize that there are 1,980 families in this area. Our membership is alive, aggressive, and desiring to grow.


They have purchased a beautiful one acre location just one block off the highway. Cash was paid for this location and the people have plans to build their new church this Fall. Finances have been arranged for by the local people. We appreciate this fine group for their initiative. Phoenix Calvary:

After prayerful consideration the Lord made it possible for us to purchase our Calvary church with its large parking lot, three auditoriums and eleven classrooms, a masonery build-ing only 9 years old, for the sum of $10,500. The Lord has done a wonderful work this year through our very capable pastor Rev. Howard W. Rogers. Our thanks and appreciation goes to Detroit First Church for supporting Miss Nellie Linder who has been such a blessing in the Calvary church.

We organized the church this Spring with thirty-one mem-bers, a Sunday School averaging 75 for the year and the local congregation carrying all of their own load except a partial pastor salary underwrite. Yuma:

Rev. Charles L. Cooper has done an excellent job for the Pilgrims in Yuma. Rev. Cooper has been able to get a hold of the city through more free radio and newspaper advertising than any man that I have ever met. The church was organized this Spring with fifteen members. Everyone seemed so glad that they could be an organized church. We are looking to Yuma to be one of our stronger churches in a few years. Tempe:

We have a beautiful new brick tile 33X72 building with a lovely three room apartment and four fine lots for future ex-pansion. We are located in the midst of a large new housing unit. We are ready' for growth. Rev. G. L. Keene is the pastor.

Sunday Schools Our Sunday Schools are making good gains. Our average

net gain for the entire district is 18%. Some of our schools have made phenominal gains. These will all be recognized as our very capable District Sunday School Secretary, Rev. C. L. Cooper reads his report.

District Youth Work Rev. Charles L. Cooper is also our Youth Secretary. Rev.

Cooper led our District into a very splendid Youth Camp pro-gram with sixty-four campers plus the staff. Each night's evangelistic service was characterized by a real visitation of the Spirit and some of the most glorious altar services we shall always remember. Our Youth work is showing good response to its leadership.

New Camp Ground Our 20 acre camp grounds have been built on this year.

We now have seven buildings up, 10 large trusses for the taber-nacle, and 6,000 ft. of lumber. Interest is mounting in the churches to build their cabins. The quicker we build the quicker we can have services on our own camp grounds.


Church Improvements Tucson First:

Rev. Harold R. Cresser pastor has led his people to pay $500. extra on their debt retirement. This has given us an ex- cellant credit rating with the Tucson Federal Savings and Loan. Tucson Parkview:

Rev. R. S. Miller has done a fine job this year. They have done a landscaping job at their lovely new brick church. Phoenix First:

Rev. B. Ivan Williams as pastor has purchased new blonde pews and pulpit desk, remodeled their nursery. They have also launched a very successful 30 minute radio broadcast over KHEP every Sunday at 4:30 p.m. Phoenix Westside:

Rev. G. A. Shay pastor has secured a fine building lot to build a new parsonage. The present parsonage would be sold or turned into a Sunday School annex. The church owes ap-proximately $200.00 on their fine lot. Cottonwood:

Rev. Robert Seelig has done well at Cottonwood. They have placed hi-way signs around their church until it would be impossible to go through their city without seeing the Pil-grim signs.

Special Committees 1. Rev. Robert Seelig Hi-way advertising: Rev. Seelig has

done a real job. We have 29 new signs up over the state. 2. Rev. G. A. Shay — Advocate subscription chairman:

Rev. Shay has given leadership to increase our subscription list from 60 to 125.

3. Rev. H. W. Rogers — Newspaper Advertising: Rev. Rogers has given much aid to some of the brethren in revival planned advertising.

District Parsonage

We now have a very adequate District parsonage with three bedrooms, one and a half baths. The material used is brick tile, plastered throughout. The evaluation is $11,500. and built at a cost of $9,500.

New Works Flagstaff:

Rev. Gaylord Jordan is our pastor. The district bought a three year old home for the Jordon's to live in and also worship in the living room. We have been in operation four weeks now with 26 in Sunday School. The future is very bright for us in Flagstaff. Tucson Trinity:

Rev. Andrew Amos is our pastor. We have purchased an acre of land and a six room house to worship in. Believing for a strong new church in the Northwest section of Tucson.

Church membership gain 102-; Sunday School membership gain 18%; Pastor's salary increase 30%; Equity increase $10,000.00.

Sunday School and Youth Report Sunday school and youth greetings to the assembled! It affords your secretary a great deal of pleasure to submit

the following report to the 3rd annual conference of the Arizona District of our beloved Zion. However, before giving a summary of the activities of these departments, I quote a statement made by Dr. William H. Neff: "This is our day, not yesterday, not tomorrow." I firmly believe this is our dty in the great state of Arizona. Thus, if we will establish solid foundations relative to Sunday school. and youth work, only God knows the actual fruitage we shall he reaping in just a few years.

During the conference year 4 district Sunday school and Youth rallies were conducted. The General Secretary of Sunday Schools and Youth of the Pilgrim Holiness Church, Dr. Paul F. Elliott, was the speaker at the first rally held in the Phoenix 1st church. He was not only pleased with the 134 in attend-ance, but his personal remarks also inferred that he was strong-ly impressed with the fine attitude in the district toward Sun-day school and youth work. Also during the year the District Superintendent and I visited all the churches in which rallies we strongly emphasized that these are days of FORWARD MOVEMENT in our district, and to enlarge our borders we must use visitation, organization, and conservation coupled with a deep passion for lost souls. -

In January the first issue of "Arizona's Sunday School Reporter" was sent to the churches. This is a mimeographed monthly report which is divided into 4 sections: monthly Sun-


day school averages, news notes from the schools, choice bits of advice from "masters" in the field of Sunday school work, and editorial remarks either dealing with a general church promotional request or information concerning a particular month's activities.

From September to May church headquarters launched the Sunday School Enlargement Campaign in which 5 of the 6 eligible schools in the district were enrolled. This church-wide contest was a promotional blue print to help all schools to show a 10% or more gain in Sunday school attendance for the 7 month period. A blue print of activities were used month per month and points were computed on the basis of compliance with a month's activities. Tucson, Parkview, accumulated a total of 869 points for the 7 months, thus receiving the general conference certificate for churches in the "D" classification. May I also add here that the conference awards for the schools showing the highest numerical and percentage gains are res-pectively, Tucson, First and Yuma.

The Sunday school department of the district shows an 18% gain. Although this only means that the average monthly attendance was 458 or a numerical gain of 69, it is a gain! Con-sidering the recent flu epidemic and current fluctuation in popu-lation, the gain bespeaks of the fact that Arizona is showing signs of becoming, or better still, it is one of the fastest growing and strongest districts in the entire Church Extension Depart-ment. Personally I would like it referred to as the model home missionary district!

Now, in regards to the youth department, I merely express the feeling of the district when I say that our 1st district youth camp was a fine accomplishment. We enrolled 64 campers who thoroughly enjoyed the schedule of the day which consisted of excellent meals, good classes, recreation, clean entertainment, and wonderful evening services.

The district was highly complimented by Dr. Elliott for its good response in securing 50 Pilgrim Youth News subscriptions. Mrs. Elwood O'Neil, president of Tucson, 1st, youth society, was the district winner having received 22 of the total 50 sub-scriptions. As an award Dr. Elliott sent her a $5.00 gift certificate to be used as she wishes in the purchase of merchandise from the Pilgrim Book Store. Your secretary was given a $7.50 certi-ficate for exceeding the goal of 35 subscriptions for the district.

The district youth project, to erect an evangelist's cottage on our new camp grounds, has not been accomplished due to the lack of funds. According to the district youth treasurer, Jack Conn, the total receipts were $139.85. I sincerely wish we would make a special effort during the ensuing conference year to finish this project and begin preparations to send a charted bus load of district youth to the national youth con-vention which meets in two years.

In the light of preceeding accomplishments, then, I believe by God's help our district can comply with the wish of the dis-


trict council that we have this next year 125 new Sunday school members, average 750 in attendance in April and 1000 scholars in attendance on Easter.

Yours For Kingdom Enlargement, Charles L. Cooper

Ways and Means BE IT RESOLVED, that the district budget be computed on the basis of $1.35 per member per month for all mem-bers of voting age.

ference year and 25 each succeeding year until the dis-trict is paying its budget in full BE IT THEREFORE RESOLVED that each pastor strongly urge his members to pay their share, and furthermore, that each church set up a systematic method of raising the budget.

vii. INASMUCH as the paying of the tithe is the divinely ap-pointed method of financially supporting and advancing the kingdom of God on earth, BE IT THEREFORE RESOLVED that 50 of the min-isterial tithe be sent monthly to the district treasurer de-signated as ministerial tithe for district budget.
