ANNUAL ADDRESS

By Tom Counts

Messengers, visitors, friends and guests: I am greatly honored to serve as your moderator

in this, which could be the most decisive, year of our association together. This year, more

than any previous year, sets a challenge before us to be more evangelistic, missionary and

Baptist. Evangelistic, because of the masses of lost souls within shouting distance of our

churches Missionary because churches of our kind are in no more than one tenth of the

world. Baptist, because there is now a trend among A. B. A. churches to depart from our

fellowship, especially in the Bible belt. Because of these three reasons I choose to deliver

this address on the subject: “EARNESTLY CONTENDING FOR THE FAITH.” I will read

to you from Jude 3, “Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the com-

mon salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort you that ye should

earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints.”

I realize that this has been a “pet” scripture for some of the most non-progressive pastors

and churches, as well as those who are striving to fulfill all phases of the commission.

However, there has never been a time in history when this passage was more vital to the

continued success and existence of the Body of Christ.

The phrase “the faith”, if my instructors and literary references are correct, means “the

content of what we believe”. Also, the word “contend” suggests one who is prepared for

intensive combat. If these things are true, we are to be ready to combat all who would try to

destroy any part of the content of our faith.

When we think of “the faith” we must think of its succession and the problems faced though

the ages. Jude said, “earnestly contend for the faith”, while Jesus said, “I am with you alway

even to the end of the age.”

The contents of the faith that Jesus once delivered to His followers have not changed though

they have come to us through 2000 years of cultural, social, political, military, economic,

and ecclesiastical changes. These are the areas of life that brought persecution upon the

church as She has succeeded down through the ages to us today. Let us briefly consider

these areas:

Culturally, the Galilean disciples were quite different from the Romans and Greeks. Their

morals were purer and their intellectual attainment was lower. Therefore, the Christians

were looked down upon because their God was a peasant from Naz-

—6—

areth who died in shame upon a cross and their doctrine was the foolish babbling of a He-

brew radical.

Socially, the early Christians were outcasts. None were invited to socialize with kings of

potentates. The only time they were called for by the upper class was when they were to be

made sport of; yet the Prince of Heaven called them friends, healed their sick, and washed

their feet.

Politically, the threat to the Christian faith was the shadow of death for its adherents. It is

said in scripture that the Christians were persecuted by the political rulers because it pleased

the people.

The Lord’s teachings brought affliction from the military realm. As believers followed Pe-

ter and John’s example in not being able to refrain from speaking in Jesus’ name, they were

herded into the arenas with gladiators and wild beasts. Armies have been raised and wars

fought in the name of God, the church, and the Bible. Titus waged a religious war against

Jerusalem in 70 A. D. In the 4th century Constantine desecrated the purpose of the faith

when he set out to kill all who would not become a Christian. Between 800 and 814 A. D.

Charlemagne became the great defender of the Catholic Church and thousands of Baptists

lost their lives before this religious infidel. In the 13th century the Crusaders swept across

Europe murdering, sacking, and destroying in the name of God and for the faith. In the

early 1940’s Hitler, Eichmann, and the Third Reich sought genocide for the people of Israel.

Since 1948 a religious war has raged in Palestine between the sons of Abraham. Northern

Ireland has become a battlefield for the religious bigots of both Catholic and Protestant. All

of these have brought nothing but shame upon God and the system of His doctrines.

Through economics the Devil tried to destroy the faith. As far back as the first century labor

unions and guilds were organized around false gods, and the followers of Jesus were not al-

lowed to have jobs to support their families without denying Christ and embracing idolatry.

It took deep conviction to remain true to the doctrines.

Probably the most diabolical move to destroy the faith has come from the religious organi-

zations known as Protestantism. Where the Catholics in the Dark Ages claimed 50 million

Baptists, Protestantism has not taken their lives but has deceived even more in the Lord’s

teachings of eternal rewards.

Not only did our fathers before us face trying days because of Christ, but we, too, are facing

some of the most dreaded elements that are creeping into the minds of fundamental preach-

ers who lead their churches after their own convictions. These dreaded elements are: First,

conformity, not to God but to the reasoning’s of the Independent Baptist Protestants. Sec-

—7—

ond, tradition, by trying to do jet age ministry by horse and buggy methods.

How is conformity creeping into our church life? As we travel down the road to Laodicea

we want to substitute dictatorship for leadership, believer’s baptism for Heaven’s baptism,

confusion for discipline and decisions for conviction. May we anoint our eyes with eye-

salve that we may see that the faith is as precious to us today as it was yesterday when there

was not so much conformity.

The traditional aspect is as bad as the conformity but in the opposite direction. There can be

no new Gospel, yet there can be newer and better ways in which we can promote the Old

Gospel. Something is not necessarily wrong just because it is different.

One of the ways in which we can better overcome the enemies of “the faith” is to have a

strong association where we can share our failures and successes and place proper emphasis

upon missions—first, our mission as a New Testament Church in our local area and then,

our outreach into all the world.

When our associational meetings get dull and routine we should not withdraw in the at-

titude that there is nothing in the Association for us, but let us seek to strengthen our work

together by offering what we have to others. To paraphrase the late President Kennedy, Let

us “Ask not what our association can do for us, but ask what we can do for our association.”

As we enter into the twenty-fourth year of labor together let us not speak unless it is to pro-

mote the cause of Christ and not hold our peace if we have something constructive to say.

Annual sermon delivered by Dr. Roy M. Reed at the California

Cooperative Association, Visalia, California, April 9, 1974

THE PASSION OF JESUS CHRIST

TEXT: “And when they were come to the place, which is called Calvary, there they cruci-

fied him, and the malefactors, one on the right hand and the other on the left.”

The crucifixion of Jesus Christ is something we more or less take for granted. The preach-

ing of it becomes so familiar that we become callous to the grim details. Of course, it was

not the physical suffering of Jesus that brought about our salvation. However we cannot

separate the spiritual suffering at Calvary from the physical suffering at Calvary.

Paul said, “God forbid that I should glory save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ.”

So, let us again go deeper into the passion of Jesus

CRUCIFIXION

Crucifixion is the torture and execution of a prisoner by affixing him to a cross. It was not a

common method of execution but was usually reserved for the worst criminals or notorious

political prisoners.

Crucifixion was first practiced by the Persians. Alexander brought the practice to Egypt and

Carthage. Then the Romans adopted it and developed a high degree of skill in carrying it

out. Several ancient Roman authors describe various techniques of crucifixion.

In all probability the mental pictures of the cross held by most people are not true to histori-

cal reality. The Latin cross is the one most commonly pictured in our minds. It was a verti-

cal up-right with a cross-piece about two or three feet below the top of the vertical. But the

cross was not in prominent use in that form until after the second century. The Roman cross

used in the Lord’s day was the “TAU” cross shaped like the letter “T”. With this cross the

upright piece was fixed solidly in the ground, the prisoner was nailed to the cross piece and

then the cross piece was lifted and set into a notch on top of the vertical pole. Then a sign

was placed over the top of the horizontal piece which listed the charges against the prisoner.

The cross piece, or horizontal piece, was call a Patibulum. It was heavy, about 110 pounds,

and looked like a railroad cross-tie. Usually the Patibulum was carried by the prisoner from

the place of trial to the place of execution.

Another misconception about the crucifixion was the way the prisoner was fastened to the

cross. Most painters and writers

—9—

speak of the nailprints in the Lord’s palms. However, there isn’t any real evidence to prove

this. The common practice in crucifixion was to drive the nails through the wrist. If the nails

were placed through the palms they would very likely strip through the tendons between the

fingers when the weight of a human body was placed upon them.

When Jesus said to Thomas, “observe my hands” he was using a word that has always been

understood to include the wrists. There is a particular place just above the wrist joint where

the bones of the forearm join together and which was strong enough to adequately support

the weight of the human body when nails were driven through at that point.

PASSION IN GETHSEMANE

The passion of Jesus began in the Garden of Gethsemane.

We will never know, nor understand, at least in this life, the agony of Jesus as He knelt to

pray in the garden. His passion was so great that He “sweat as it were, great drops of blood.”

Some people, speaking of this occurrence, refer to it as a miracle. It was not necessarily a

miracle or even a strange phenomena. It was only a rare occurrence.

Luke said, “And being in agony, He prayed the longer. And his sweat became as drops of

blood, trickling down upon the ground.”

Men have made all kinds of attempts to explain away this Bible truth. A lot of effort might

have been saved by consulting a medical dictionary or some medical literature on the sub-

ject.

There is such a thing. It is called HEMATHIDROSIS or “bloody sweat.” It is caused from

great emotional stress. When a person gets under very heavy stress the tiny capillaries in the

sweat glands break, mixing with the perspiration and causing bloody sweat to seep through

the pores of the skin. Physicians tell us that this condition produces marked weakness and

possible shock.

ARREST AND TRIAL

While Jesus was on his knees in the garden, praying, a band of Roman soldiers was on its

way to the garden. One might imagine that he sees them with their lighted torches, wend-

ing their way down the mountain side from the hall of Caiphas the High Priest, across the

Kidron valley to the opposite hillside then up to the garden of Gethsemane. There Jesus was

praying, his knees planted firmly in the soft ground under those old olive trees. With that

band of soldiers was Judas Iscariot who had come along to identify Jesus so that the soldiers

would not arrest the wrong man. See Judas as he walks forward and stands

—10—

in front of the Lord and kisses him on the cheek—his sign of identification and betrayal.

Jesus was arrested and taken forcefully from His place of prayer to the palace of Caiphas

the High Priest and the Jewish San Hedrin court. Who were these people who arrested

him? Crooked politicians? Tyrants? Dictators? No! They were the leading religious people

of their day. They were the people who should of all men, have been loving, generous,

compassionate and understanding. Instead, they seemed to be drunk with power and blind

to the truth.

Things are not much different today. Born again Christians still have more to fear from

religious people in power than they do from atheists and agnostics.

As the Lord’s trial began, he was questioned by the High Priest but He refused to answer

a word. A soldier strikes him across the face. The other soldiers laughed. Then the soldiers

thought of a little game they could play. They blindfolded Jesus and began to taunt Him.

One smites Him and says, “Who struck thee?” “Prophesy unto us, thou Christ, who smote

thee?” And they spat upon Him and struck Him in the face again and again, and over and

over again.

Early the next morning, battered, bruised, dehydrated, exhausted ... Jesus was taken before

the Roman authority of Judea—Pontus Pilate.

Pilate wanted to evade responsibility on the grounds that Jesus was a Galilean. So he passed

the case over to Herod the Tetrarch—or governor—over Galilee. At that time Pilate ruled

over only the Judea section of Palestine. But evidently Herod would have none of Pilate’s

buck passing, so the case was sent back to Pilate’s court.

Before Jesus was condemned, Pilate sentenced Him to be scourged. That scourging, about

which we preach so very little, was one of the cruel barbaric practices of the Romans at

that time.

THE SCOURGING

The prisoner is stripped of his clothing. His hands are tied above his head. Then the scourg-

ing begins. Under Jewish law a prisoner could only be struck forty lashes, so the whip

wielder would usually stop on the count of thirty nine in case he had miscounted. It is

doubtful that the Romans observed this restraint.

The Roman legionnaire used a whip called a cat-o-nine-tails. It consisted of a short wooden

handle to which was attached nine long pieces of leather. Near the end of each leather thong

there was a piece of lead wire twisted around the leather thong

—11—

to give it weight.

The soldier lifts the cat-o-nine-tails and brings it down with a heavy blow—the leather

splays out like the spread fingers of an open handed slap. As the thongs lash the back they

strike the neck, the back of the head, the shoulders, the hips, the calves of the prisoner’s

legs. .Then the lashes continue, and continue, and continue. At first the skin is only bruised

and big whelps rise to the surface. But as the lashes continue the skin is broken and is soon

hanging in long ribbons of flesh until the entire back side is a mass of torn bleeding tissue.

Finally the scourging stops, the rope is untied and the prisoner slumps to the floor.

Is this all?

No, it isn’t!

Now let’s look on the scene as the soldiers take the prisoner off the floor, so weak he can’t

support himself. They prop him up in a chair. They begin to make great sport of the fact that

Jesus is called the King of the Jews.

A king? Then a king must have a robe. So someone throws a robe around his shoulders. The

cloth is quickly soaked through with blood from the torn and bleeding back.

And a king must have a scepter! So a stick is thrust into His hand.

And a crown! A king must have a crown! A soldier rushes out and collects several branches

from the thorny bush called a KING THORN. The thorns of this bush sharp as needles and

hard as nails. They plait a crown of thorns and jam it down around the crown of his head—

thorns piercing his brow, his ears, his eyelids...

When they grew tired of this sport they rip the robe from his back, which by now was stuck

to the flesh, causing the cloth, to tear loose and start the bleeding all over again.

WALKING THE VIA DOLOROSA

In deference to the Jewish custom, the prisoner’s garments were returned to Him.

They then tie the Patibulum, the heavy horizontal piece of the cross, across his shoulders.

The procession starts to Calvary—Jesus, the two thieves, the Roman guards, the Centurian

captain—up the narrow cobblestone street called the Via Dolorosa. Jesus tries to walk erect.

But He is too weak from loss of blood and from the intense pain of his wounds. The great

wooden beam would be too much, to heavy even for a strong healthy man to carry so far.

He stumbles, falls. .

—12—

The impatient Centurian looks over the crowd and picks from among the curious bystand-

ers a strong looking North African named Simon of Cyrene. Simon is commanded to carry

the cross beam the rest of the way, about 650 yards to Calvary, to Golgotha, out to the city

dump ground for execution.

AT CALVARY

When the execution procession reaches Calvary they again strip Jesus of His clothing, leav-

ing only the loin cloth demanded by Jewish law. As soon as his robe came off the body of

Jesus, some of the Roman soldiers began squabbling over it and finally wound up gambling

for its possession.

Then a soldier offered Jesus some of the cheap wine mixed with Myrrh to drink. But He

didn’t drink any of it; and I’m glad He didn’t.

The prisoner’s shoulders are roughly thrown against the great wooden cross piece. The

legionnaire feels for the depression between the bones in the wrist. He takes a large iron

spike, heavy enough to support the weight of a man, and drives it quickly through the wrists

and deep into the wood. Then he quickly moves to the other side and repeats the process.

Now that the prisoner is fastened securely, like a piece of slaughtered meat, the victim is

hoisted up by those rough hands and the two pieces of the cross are fitted together. On top

of the Patibulum a sign is nailed which reads, “This is Jesus king of the Jews.”

Now the soldier takes another large iron spike in one hand and a heavy hammer in the

other. One foot is pressed backward against the upright wood post, the toes down, and the

great nail is driven through the arch of the foot and deep into the wood. This same process

is repeated with the other foot. Hammer blows—heavy, pounding blows smashing the nails

through the flesh and into the upright post.

HISTORY’S CRUELEST PARADOX

Then began the cruelest paradox of all history. The Lord’s body sags down putting his

weight on the nails in His hands. This produces instant stabbing pain. He can’t stand it! He

lifts His body to ease the pain by pressing His weight down upon His feet. This produces

instant excruciating pain in His feet—absolute searing agony as the full weight of His body

pushes the nails into the arches of His feet. He instantly eases off to try to alleviate this

newer source of pain. This places the critical area back in His wrists again. The process

goes on, and on, and on; pressing down to relieve the pain in His wrists, then lifting up to

relieve the pain in His feet and finding no relief either way.

Then the arms begin to cramp and the legs fatigue. Great

—13—

waves of cramps sweep over the muscles, knotting them in deep, relentless, throbbing,

blinding pain. No longer is He able to push upward because of the cramps in His legs. His

chest muscles become paralyzed. He can suck air into His lungs but He can’t expel it. He

struggles to get just one short breath. As He does this carbon dioxide is absorbed back into

the bloodstream and the cramps partly diminish.

How long can a man endure this? How long can it go on? If it were even for ten minutes it

would seem like a lifetime. But for six hours the agony continues.

WORDS FROM THE CROSS

During His six hours on the cross the Lord tries to speak. Sometimes, I think, we imag-

ine that He spoke out in bold, clearly enunciated tones. More than likely His words were

gasped out between the periods of pain, during the short periods of particial relief. He spoke

seven times during the six hours on the cross:

(1) Looking down at the soldiers gambling for His robe, and perhaps looking out over

the crowd of perpetrators and bystanders, He said, “Father, forgive them for they know not

what they do.”

(2) To the penitent thief He said, “Today shalt thou be with me in paradise.”

(3) To the grief stricken mother and to His Apostle John, He said, “Behold thy mother,”

“woman, behold thy son.”

(4) Then, in the deepest agony of His soul, as He feels the even great weight, the great pu-

trid mass of sin—my sin, your sin—”The Lord hath laid on Him the iniquity of us all”—He

cries out “My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?”

I can’t really preach on those words because I don’t understand them. The tremendous

thought of God forsaking God is beyond my comprehension. That God would forsake His

Son for a wretched sinner like me—I just don’t—I can’t fully comprehend it.

(5) Then that terrible pain, the overall, dull, intense heavy pain becomes so bad that it

is impossible to localize the hurt areas anymore. Every muscle, every joint, every limb is

filled with searing, twisting, crushing pain.

And Jesus says, “I thirst.”

David said in Psalm 22:14 “I am poured out like water, and all my bones are out of joint;

my heart is like wax; it is melted in the midst of my bowels.”

Again in the Psalms: “My strength is dried up like a potsherd;

—14—

and my tongue cleaveth to my jaws; and thou hast brought me into the dust of death.”

A Roman legionnaire soaks a sponge in sour wine used by the soldiers and this is lifted to

His lips. But, again, He didn’t take any of it, and I’m glad He didn’t.

(6) Then the chill of death begins to creep over His entire body. As He feels the chill

through His tissues He realizes it’s about over. Don’t you know it must have been with a

feeling, a deep down feeling of relief, that He says, “It is finished”?

Amen! It’s over! Mission accomplished! The price was paid!

Now He could allow His body to die!

(7) With one last surge of strength He lifts His body on the cross, ignoring the overwhelm-

ing pain, takes as deep a breath as He can, and gasps out those victorious words, “Father,

into thy hands I commend my spirit.”

And He gave up the ghost. He dismissed His spirit from Him. He had already said, “No

man takes my life from me. I have the power to lay it down and I have the power to take it

up again.”

So the crucifixion was not so much a murder as it was a willful giving from a loving God.

AFTER DEATH

In order not to profane the day, the Jews asked that the bodies of the prisoners not be left

on the crosses past sundown. So a squad of soldiers was sent to dispatch and remove the

victims. The method used for this was called CRURIFRACTURE, which merely meant

the breaking of the bones of the legs. This immediately prevented the victim from pushing

himself upward to relieve the muscles of the chest. The result was rapid suffocation.

The soldiers came to Calvary and broke the legs of the two thieves, but when they came to

Jesus they saw that He was already dead. It wasn’t necessary to break His legs.

Apparently, to make doubly sure, a Roman soldier thrust his heavy spear up under the rib

cage and plunged it into the heart. This caused an instant eruption of blood and water to

come flowing from the heart and from the fluid sac surrounding the heart.

A physician knows that this is physical and indisputable evidence of the cause of death. It

is like performing an autopsy. The conclusive post mortem evidence is that Jesus died, not

from suffocation as did the two thieves, but from constrictive

—15—

heart. failure.

Jesus stopped His heart when He was ready! He literally gave Himself in death!

CONCLUSION

Thus we have a glimpse of the evil that men can exhibit toward God, and the love that God

can exhibit toward man.

This is not a pretty picture. It is a far cry from the rather sanitary appearance of the cross

as a piece of jewelry one wears around the neck or the pin men wear in their coat lapels or

the beautiful piece of architecture on the church steeple. This picture of the cross is apt to

leave us despondent and depressed. If we stopped at this point it would be a sad ending to

a gruesome and morbid story.

But this Isn’t all of the story!

Praise God it isn’t!

You see, Jesus isn’t dead!

He’s alive and well thanks!

Two of His disciples took His battered body down from the cross. They laid it in a rock

hewed tomb near Calvary, covered it with a great stone, sealed it, placed soldiers to guard

over it, but three days later the tomb was empty!

Jesus arose! Hallelujah, Christ arose!

And He lives today!

He paid the price for our sins at Calvary, and now He sits at the right hand of God the Father

“ever living to make intercession” and to offer eternal life to all who believe.

Note: At the close of this message the audience joined in spontaneously singing:

There is a name I love to hear,

I love to sing its worth

It sounds like music to my ears

The sweetest song on earth,

Oh, how I love Jesus!

Because He first loved me!

checks written mailed out were 93. A total of 27 letters have been written besides those

written to the missionaries, to churches concerning missions. There were 39 deposits made

to the Mission account at the bank. 12 long distance phone calls were made. There were 64

extra plates made for the addressing machine, which makes it possible for each church to

Postage— 61.71 (including 78 extra weekly bulletins and monthly ledger sheets)

Phone— 27.90 (calls concerning missions)

Plates— 7.04 (addressing machine)

FOREIGN MISSIONS

The churches of the Calif. Cooperative Assoc. have been most active in foreign missions.

Members of California churches now serve in Mexico, Canada, Korea, Costa Rica, Colom-

bia, and the Solomon Islands.

We commend the churches who have sent the brethren and urge that the churches pray that

the Lord of the Harvest may call many more from our midst.

We urge the churches to help in the work of Bible Institutes on the foreign fields. At the

present time land is being procured and buildings built on several fields. We encourage your

support of such efforts feeling that the future of foreign missions may well rest in training

Christian workers in their native lands. It is our prayer that our churches will help in raising

the necessary funds to help these Bible Institutes prepare workers to serve the Lord in their

homelands.

ing to their abilities. The support of each church should however, be equitably budgeted to

ascertain adequate finances which are available to sustain our Home Mission commitments.

It is this church’s considered opinion that both the sponsoring churches and this association

of churches, upon endorsement of Home Missions, becomes immediately accountable unto

our Lord and Saviour to fulfill the responsibilities each has assumed.

The endorsing church assumes the primary responsibility to financially support its mission

program; to lead in prayer support; to promote financial assistance by the sister churches;

and to administrate the scriptural development of the work until it is organized into a stable,

fully matured church. The premature organization of a mission into a church should be dis-

couraged until there is evidence of a mature stability in the mission’s doctrinal foundation,

membership, growth, and finances. Yet the sponsoring church should not forget her obliga-

tion to continue her support of other mission programs.

Upon endorsement of a mission by the churches of this association, each church assumes

a moral obligation before God to share the responsibility burden of the sponsoring church.

Although this is not a binding obligation upon any church, we must be ever mindful of our

Lord’s Great Commission and His commandment to love as He loved us which in itself

should promote the burning desire to rally to the support of our sister Churches. All too

often our support is misguided in that we purpose to support the missionary rather than the

mission. This church encourages each of the sister churches to set aside personalities and

give more than a passive endorsement by actively sponsoring the development of our Home

Missions through our prayers, and a commitment for financial support to be given to the

mission work through the sponsoring church.

CHRISTIAN EDUCATION

It is agreed that the Lord commissioned His churches to evangelize the world and that Matt.

28:19, 20 gives a well rounded program to follow in achieving this. No part of this outlined

program should be neglected.

Christian Education applies first to those who have made profession of faith and have been

scripturally baptized. The Church must first of all educate in Bible doctrine through her

preaching services, BTC classes, and special Bible study periods, if strong Christians are

the result. Teachers in our churches are urged to make an earnest study of the Bible using

all good available helps.

This teaching also extends to the homes of the church. As the parents have been taught, they

are to teach their children. Parents are urged to set the right pattern in doctrinal soundness

and Christian principles in life.

Each of the Lord’s churches has some kind of Christian Education Program, but how effec-

tive has this program been?

One way to evaluate is found in:

(1) What kind of Christians are new converts becoming?

—47—

(2) What number of young converts are turning back to the world because of an evident

lack of spiritual food and Bible knowledge.

(3) How many church members eventually join false churches because of a lack of under-

standing of Bible doctrines?

We recommend that each church examine the effectiveness of its Christian Education Pro-

gram. Let’s not wholly blame those who leave us. Let’s lay the blame where it is most often

due—the lack of effectiveness in the churches teaching program. We recommend that our

young preachers take advantage of the opportunity afforded by the churches of this state to

further their training and knowledge by attending the California Missionary Baptist Insti-

tute at Bellflower.

Increased liberal support of this school is recommended to our churches.

CHRISTIAN LITERATURE REPORT

All religious faiths and cults are using the means of the printed page. There is power in the

printed page. No literature can ever take the place of the Bible. “Faith come by hearing and

hearing by the word of God.” Ro. 10:17

We, the Tully Road Missionary Baptist Church recommend that our own literature be used

in our Sunday Schools, Baptist Training Course, Vacation Bible Schools and Youth En-

campments in all of our churches. No sounder literature is published anywhere. These pub-

lications are written by our Baptist writers and their laboring efforts are to cause Missionary

Baptist people to grow in the knowledge of Jesus Christ.

We further recommend all books and papers written by our own people be used. We espe-

cially recommend that our own state paper, The Baptist Sentinel, be read in every Mission-

ary Baptist home and supported by each of our churches in the state.

RESOLUTION COMMITTEE

Because of the continuing problem existing between Landmark Missionary Baptist Church

of Freedom and Faith Missionary Baptist Church of Watsonville,

Because this problem is continually being presented before the messengers of the Coast-

al Association as well as the California Co-operative Association of Missionary Baptist

Churches,

Because the circumstances of this problem cannot be fully understood by brethren outside

this area,

Be it therefore resolved that seating of the messengers of the Faith Missionary Baptist

Church of Watsonville be permanently deferred until such time as they can be organized to

the satisfaction of the majority of the churches of this association.

Be it further resolved that the Coastal Association recommended to the Calif. Association

that the messengers of Faith Missionary Baptist Church of Watsonville not be seated until

it is settled in the local area.
