DEDICATIONS

This yearbook is dedicated to the memory of Brother A.D. Compton Jr.

Bro. Compton was born Dec. 17,1929 and passed from this walk of life

June 10, 7972.

In taking up pen to write those lines in memory of him who was so

much to us, we are

thankful that we can say that we will not be lacking in that which one would

wish to pen in memory of him. We have known him for many years. We

have been with him in the pulpit, upon the highway, in the home and we

have learned from this association with him that he was a “man” with all

that this word implies; we go farther and say that he was an exemplary man.

He had his “faults and weaknesses,” as is common in the human family,

and from which no man has as yet escaped either before or since Christ was

here upon the earth in person. We have loved him because he has always

stood for truth, justice, and virtue; we have love him because his was an

influential life but we do not stop here as though his influence had died with

him as some would love to think but we go farther and say that his influence

will live on as long as mankind is permitted to remember him.

His work has been such in the ministry that none can question his as

having been a christian life.

And so we await the time when with the redeemed of earth we shall all

stand both small and great before God, and there we are assured through the

hope we have in Christ that we shall see him who was so dear to us crowned

with a crown which the Lord, the Righteous Judge shall give to him in that

day, and there it seems to us the many souls led to Christ by him shall rise

up and call him blessed.

This 1973 yearbook is dedicated in memory of Bro. and Sis. L.S. Cotton,

charter members of the Visalia Missionary Baptist Church.

Bro. Cotton passed from this life in 1960. Sis. Cotton passed on in 1973.

Both of these fine people had given many years of service to the Lord and

His Churches in this area. Bro. Cotton was a deacon and served faithfully

in that capacity. Sis. Cotton was the highest example of a deacons wife in

every way.

The Cottons came to California in 1937 and settled around Earlimart.

They joined the Corcoran Missionary Baptist Church and were members

there for several years. At the 1940 State Association held in Corcoran Bro.

Cotton served as a messenger and on the Divine Services Committee. Sis.

Cotton spent most of her time at that associational meeting cooking for the

people.

In 1952 at the 1st meeting of the Calif. Cooperative Assoc. Bro. and

Sis. Cotton were on hand to assist in the organization. Bro. Cotton was a

messenger from the Corcoran Church.

Bro. and Sis. Cotton are the kind of people who are truly missed in our

church and associational work. Our prayer should be, “Thank you Lord for

sending the Cottons our way and for the privilege of working with them in

the church. And please Lord if you see fit send us two more just like them.”

DOCTRINAL STATEMENT

1. We believe in the verbal inspiration and infallibility of the whole Bible

as originally written, and that the Bible is the all sufficient rule of faith and

practice, II Timothy 3:16,17.

equal in Divine perfection, Matthew 28:19.

4. We believe in the virgin birth of Jesus Christ, Matthew 1:20.

death, until He comes again, I Corinthians 11:26.

“CHANGING TIMES”

Annual Address by DWIGHT PATTERSON

Today we are living in “changing times” I’m confident that many pre

sent here today have seen great changes in their lifetime. The change from

using horse drawn plows and wagons to driving tractors and automobiles;

from raising your own vegetables and dressing your own meats to shopping

in ultra-modern supermarkets; from riding in trains to flying in super-jets;

from listening to the old battery-powered radios to becoming enslaved to the

super console color television.

We have seen the flash of the atomic and hydrogen bombs that inspire

fear in the hearts of the bravest men as they realize that just one of these

bombs of destruction can obliterate whole cities in one gigan-

We have seen men land and walk on the moon in our own living rooms

by way of color televisions and radio satellites in the sky.

We have seen the language of our times change. Now words have been

coined to accommodate the “space age”. Words that were once considered

vulgar and profane are now used openly, and accepted as the norm by the

masses.

We have seen changes in the fashion world. The dress length goes up

and down from year to year similar to a child’s yo-yo! It seems as the dresses

get shorter, menJ

dresses get shorter, men’s hair gets longer! The trend of the ‘times is “Uni-

sex”.

With all these changes at such a fast pace, it makes one cry out, “Even

so come Lord Jesus”!

There is no doubt that many of the recent changes have been to the bet-

terment of man...especially in the field of medicine and technology.

However, the most startling changes have been in the field of religion.

The ecumenical movement is gaining ground daily. Expo ‘72 and Key

‘73 programs have added new fuel to the fires of unity and compromise!’

Unity seems to be the cry of the times. Recently the Catholics, in con-

junction with 150 assorted Protestant groups, featured Pat Boone in an “All

Together Sing” in Los Angeles.

Religious groups that were once considered sound in their theology but

irregular in some of their practices, (even to the point of wearing the name

“Baptist”) have begun to ordain women to the ministry in direct conflict

with Bible truths!

Truly there can be no doubt that we are living in the Laodecian era! If

there were ever a time that we should take a strong stand against error and

heresy, and “earnestly contend for the faith that was once delivered to the

saints”, it is NOW...when man’s programs have been substituted for God’s

way!

Christendom cries out, “We are rich”, “Our number is growing”, “We

have need of nothing”. But, in all reality, they are “blind”, “poor”, “wretch-

ed”, and “naked of the imputed righteousness of Christ.

May I quote the words of the Apostle Peter as a reminder of our needs

and dependence upon the Lord

II Peter 3;1-4, “This SECOND EPISTLE, BELOVED, I NOW

WRITE UNTO YOU; IN BOTH WHICH I STIR UP YOUR

PURE MINDS BY WAY OF REMEMBERANCE: BY THE

HOLY PROPHETS, AND OF THE COMMANDMENTS

OF US THE APOSTLES OF THE LORD AND SAVIOUR;

KNOWING THAT FIRST, THAT THERE SHALL COME IN

THE LAST DAYS SCOFFERS, WALKING AFTER THEIR

OWN LUSTS AND SAYING, WHERE IS THE PROMISE OF

HIS COMING? FOR SINCE THE FATHERS FELL ASLEEP,

ALL THINGS CONTINUE AS THEY WERE FROM THE

BEGINNING OF CREATION.”

Those days that Peer spoke of are here NOW.

May we remember that our God whom we serve and one day will stand

before and give an account to HAS NOT CHANGED.

Mal. 3:6. “ FOR I AM THE LORD, I CHANGE NOT

The purpose of our meeting here today HAS NOT CHANGED.

“The object of this Association is to encourage co-operation and Chris-

tian activity among the churches, to promote interest in and encourage mis-

sions on a New Testament basis among all people, to stimulate interest in

Christian literature, general benevolence, and Christian education and to

provide a medium through which the churches may cooperate in these en-

terprises.”

May we remember that our purpose in meeting here today in Visalia

remains the same as it was twenty-three years ago.

May I emphasize to you as strongly as possible, that we are here as

messengers of the Lord’s Churches to deliberate and council messengers

of the Lord’s Churches to deliberate and council with one another, and that

above all else, we must depend upon the leadership of the Holy Spirit and

thus saith the Word of God!

The Commission has not changed. The task of preaching the Gospel to

every creature is still the commandment of the Lord for today, and for EV-

ERY day, until He returns to claim his Bride.

Missionary Baptists have not changed. It is true that there are some who

claim, and perhaps wear that name that have changed, but they are so much

in the minority that they are hardly noticed. However, that group of people

who, in doctrine, practice, and perpetuity from the days of Christ down to

this present time, have not changed, nor will they change, as the Master has

promised to be with us always. The sovereignty and independence of each

local church has not changed. We recognize only one law giver and head,

and that is the Lord Himself. We believe that each church is equal in ev-

ery respect, whether it has 10 members or 1,000, whether it is wealthy and

meets in elaborate facilities, or poor and meets in a rented building. As we

have outlined in our articles of agreements.. “This Association shall recog-

nize the freedom of speech as essential to the achievements in its work. It

shall stand or fall on its own conformity to truth!”

The need of co-operative work has not changed. We recognize the dif

ficulties of one church preaching the gospel to every corner of the

earth. But together the gospel is being carried to new fields of labor, and for

the first time, the truth is to be heralded to the lost in regions beyond.

Each year it becomes more and more difficult for new churches to se-

cure property and erect buildings because of the restrictions of city ordi-

nances and the prohibitive coasts of property and building materials. We

must join together in sharing the burden. What better way than the church

endorsed “California Mission Development?”

In whatever difficulties the Lord’s churches have found themselves

faced with in the past, they have always been victorious.. We too, in the

ages to come, will also face new challenges, w in the ages to come, will also

face new-challenges, and with the help of the Almighty God that is with us

always, we will be Victorious.

I have not changed. I am still a sinner, though one saved by grace. I

still need your understanding and patience and cooperation as I endeavor

to moderate this twenty-third meeting of the messengers of the Cooperative

Association of Missionary Baptists Churches of California.

FOREIGN MISSION REPORT

We your committee on foreign Missions are happy to present the following

report:

We believe that a mission report should properly be something more

than a miniature thesis on the Great Commission. Rather, a mission report

should be a relating to the messengers of what God is doing through His

churches in the realm of foreign missions.

We truly rejoice in the knowledge that churches in California area

spiritual seedbed for mission work throughout the world. We believe that

more foreign mission work emanates from Calif. than from any comparable

number of churches in Missionary Baptist ranks.

Rather than boast of this, may we give the glory to Jesus; and

dedicate ourselves to doing more, and more and more to carry the gospel to

the regions beyond.

We present for your prayerful consideration the following foreign

mission activities sponsored by California’s Missionary Baptist Churches:

W.S. Goulding, sent out by the First Baptist Church of Dominguez (working

in Costa Rica) Neil Morley, sent out by the Antioch Baptist Church of

Lynwood.(working in Gaudalcanal) Jim Gage, sent out by Grace Missionary

Baptist Church of Anaheim(working Colombia S.A.) Antonio Artavia, sent

out by the South Gate Missionary Baptist Church(working in El Salvador)

Inwon Choye, Kyung Chul Cho, Chal Park, Zai Sok Chae, Young Ha Kim,

sent out by the First Missionary Baptist Church of Bellflower. (working

Korea) Richard Andres, sent out the the Sharon Missionary Baptist Church

of North Long Beach. (working in Canada) George Crombie, sent out by the

Landmark Baptist Church of Barstow. (working in Canada) Ford Bryant,

sent out by the Norwalk Missionary Baptist Church (working in Canada) Al

Soderberg, sent out by the San Diego Missionary Baptist Church (working

in Tiajuana Mexico) Bro. Bolzoduo, sent out by the Fortuna Missionary

Baptist Church (working in Mexico) And such other missionaries working

in foreign fields who are sent out and supported by California Missionary

Baptist Churches.

CHRISTIAN EDUCATION

Christian education, properly defined, is the pursuit of truth, which, when

applied, result in the solution of the problems of this present life and the life

hereafter. Consequently, it is the process of logical thinking in a disciplined

manner.

With these thoughts in mind, the words of Paul in Timothy 2:15

take on a more vivid meaning. “Study to shew thyself approved unto God,

a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of

truth.” Thus, in the spectrum of Christian education, it is to be recommended

that, first of all, the pastors should remain students of the Word of God.

Disciplined, systematic Bible study on the part of the ministry, is the key-

note which will introduce a love for genuine pursuit of spiritual truth within

the local assembly. As a result of true discipleship (a perpetual state of

being a learner) on behalf of God-called preachers, the example is provided

for the teaching staff, and ultimately the whole congregation, to become

disciples (learners) of Christ, which is called “Christian education.” Hence,

we recommend that constant programs of meaningful, planned studies of the

doctrines of the Bible be taught to God’s people within the local churches

and church-sponsored Missionary Baptist Schools. Furthermore, we

recommend that Christian education should not consist of mere acquisition

of biblical facts, but that the truths of the Scriptures be applied to set forth

the practicality and necessity of the Christian experience. The Word of God

is not a theoretical hypothesis but it presents a practical, God-approved way

of life. Consequently, true Christian education must prepare each Baptist to

be able to testify intelligently and spiritually of the hope within him, as Peter

admonished: “But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts; and be ready always

to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is

in you with meekness and fear.” I Peter 3:15

STATE LADIES AUXILIARY

The sixteenth annual session of the State Ladies Aux. was called to

order at 3: P.M. by Sister Pat Smith, President.

The welcome was given by Sis. Frances Dillion, Visalia and the

response by Sister Virginia Bynum, Oroville. The devotional from Galatians

2:20 was given by Sister Martha Housewright, Redding.

The program “I Know He Lives” was presented by Sister Betty

Keeling, First VicePresident.

There were sixty eight auxiliaries represented. Total funds received

were $563.00. The 1973 goal “California Mission Development” received

$228.25, with 18 auxiliaries giving toward the goal. $735.00 was given

through the auxiliaries during the year for C.M.D.

The 1974 goal is “California Mission Development.”

The purpose of this auxiliary is to encourage activity among the

ladies in all phasis of the local church work. We seek to encourage churches

without auxiliaries to join us in serving Jesus Christ through this medium.

Respectfully Submitted,

Pat Smith, President

Lois Stevens, Sec. Treasurer

HOME MISSION REPORT

We, your Home Missions Committee, wish to recommend to our churches

that we major on the quality of mission work rather than on the quantity of

missions to be started. We encourage our churches to set the precedent of

establishing churches that are self-supporting before the Missionary enters

a new field of labor.

We further recommend that more churches become involved in local

mission support true to the biblical pattern found in Acts. 1:8. In this way

the foundation for all phases of mission work will become firmer and more

effective.

We further recommend the faithful and full support of all our church-

endorsed local missionaries, including the following:

David Housewright of Shasta M.B.Church, Redding

Fred Bronscum of Shatter M.B. Church, Shaffer

James C Nye of First M.B. Church of Bellflower laboring in Huntington Beach

John Peach of Faith M.B. Church, Concord, laboring in the Clearlake area

Douglas Rogers of Landmark M.B. Church Southgate, laboring in Escondido

Clay Hunsucker of First M.B. Church, Fresno, laboring in Blythe Gregory

Andino of Landmark M.B. Church Freedom, laboring in Tehachapi.

Al Soderberg of First M.B. Church, San Diego, laboring in Tijuana

We further acknowledge that as associations we are not empowered

to send missionaries, the sponsoring churches assume the responsibility of

their missionaries and have a substantial share in their support.

Respectfully Submitted,

John Peach

David Housewright

Fred Branscum

James C. Nye

CHRISTIAN LITERATURE COMMITTEE

Last year the Christian Education Committee recommended that:

“Every means possible should be used (according to God’s word) to provide

on education in biblical teachings that will enable every child of God to be

successful for the cause of Christ.”

The best means of accomplishing this objective is our Baptist

literature---Sunday School, B.T.C. Vacation Bible School, and other

teaching help----written by Missionary Baptist writers, published by and

for Missionary Baptist Churches. We your committee recommend that (1)

We commend our writers for their labors; (2). We encourage our churches

to use this literature in every way possible; (3) We encourage more of our

people to use their tallents and knowledge to write more helps; finally (4)

We encourage our people to buy the publications as they become available.

Respectfully submitted,

Royece Smith

Resolution

Whereas, Brother William “Bill” Havens has dedicated himself to assisting

and promoting the cause of scriptural mission work wherever the Lord may

lead;

And, whereas, the church where Brother Havens holds membership,

Glendale Missionary Baptist Church, has endorsed Bro. Havens for this type

of mission activity,

Therefore be it resolved that we, the messengers of the churches, composing

the California Cooperative Association, do hereby go on record as approving

and endorsing Bro. Bill Havens for this special work. With such approval

we pray God’s blessings upon him.

Resolution Regarding X-Rated Movies

Whereas the press has carried news of a declaration of intent of the T.V.

network to show on television movies classified as “X-Rated” and whereas

such rated films are held by God-fearing people to be immoral and totally

unfit for family entertainment,

Therefore be it resolved that we, The Glendale Missionary Baptist

Church of Glendale, California, register our complete disapproval of the

aforementioned movies by presenting this resolution to the Cooperative

Association of Missionary Baptist Churches of California when convened

at Visalia, California, April 16 - 18, 1973.

Be it further resolved that we send to the management of the T.V. networks a

letter of protest stating our convictions regarding the showing on television

of “X-Rated” movies.

RESOLUTIONS

Resolution On Committee Reports

Whereas: our committee reports have become so routine that they are often

of no real value in helping our churches; and whereas, the associational

meeting and all reports should be designed to meet the needs of our churches

today; BE IT RESOLVED, that the practice of appointing various committees

at the annual messenger meeting be changed to provide for reports and/or

workshops which give the messengers helps and aids in various ministries

of the local church.

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the moderator and the two assistant

moderators serve as a committee to set up the various reports and/or

workshops.

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that this committee prior to the association

seek out brethren from churches who have been successful in various areas

of church work to give these reports and / or conduct these workshops.

BE IT FINALLY RESOLVED, that the reports and/or workships include the

following:

1 .

Missions--Foreign and Home

Christian Education

Christian Literature

Ladies Work

Youth Work

Junior Church

Bus Ministries

California Mission Development

Other ministries which the association may deem

helpful and profitable.

Respectfully submitted,

Royce Smith

Resolution

Whereas the California Missionary Baptist Pastor’s Conference has proven

its benefits both to churches and pastor’s. To churches indirectly and to

the pastor’s and their wives directly by both spiritual uplift and physical

invigoration. We recommend to the churches of California the value of

providing the financial mean where by their pastor and wife attend the

conference. We also recommend that the churches consider the advisability

of providing his travel expenses as well.

Kenneth Hooper

Thomas L. Counts

Resolution

Whereas, several of the larger California cities frequently express an interest

in being the host city to the annual messenger meeting of the American

Baptist Association, Whereas it is now a requirement that no invitation to

the American Baptist Association will be considered unless such invitation

has the approval and sponsorship of local churches in the vicinity of the

inviting city;

And, Whereas it is to the advantage of churches in the California Cooperative

Association to have the annual messenger meeting of the American Baptist

Association anywhere within the State of California;

Therefore be it resolved that we, the messengers of the churches composing

the California Cooperative Association of Missionary Baptist churches,

hereby go on record as approving and offering official sponsorship for any

California city which desires to extend an invitation to the American Baptist

Association.

Be it further resolved that we appoint our moderator or our recording clerk

to convey assurances of such local sponsorship whenever and wherever it

may be required.

GLENDALE. CALIFORNIA 91205

April 16, 1973

TO, The Missionary Committee and Messenger Assembly, California

Cooperative Association of Missionary Baptist churches when convened at

Visalia, California, 1973

Dear Brethren:

Some of my preacher brethren feel that my work in the promotion

of missions is worthwhile but that it should not be conducted by a state

missionary elected by the messengers. I respect their feelings in this matter,

even though I do not share them.

If this opinion is still being held by some (and I am persuaded that

it is), then I just might unintentionally be involved in the straining of a very

fine fellowship, and the very thought of such a thing brings me pain, When

something poses a problem in our service to the Lord, I want to be a part of

the solution rather than be a part of the problem. The work is important, I’m

not. The work must increase; I must decrease.

Therefore, I am requesting that our missionary committee remove

my name from the list of missionary candidates for the work’s sake, As

a missionary endorsed and sent out by one of the Lord’s churches I plan

to continue my work in the promotion of missions within the limitations

imposed by school teaching duties and the distance which I am able to travel

during school sessions. Any of our associated churches who, may want to

assist me in offsetting the expenses of my ministry are, of course, free to do

so as I endeavor to hold up the hands of our missionaries on the field.

Yours for a greater mission effort,

C. WILLIAM HAVENS
