DEDICATION

Floyd Cooper, born to John and Effie Cooper January 5, 1919 in Winona, Oklahoma.

He was saved at age 9 in the Baptist church of that city.

Came to California with his family in 1935 and united with the Hebron Heights M.B.C.

(presently 1st M.B.C.) of Salinas, Calif, where Bro. R. Y. Blaylock was pastor. His father

worked closely with Bro. Blaylock and later became pastor of this church

He enlisted in the U.S. Navy in 1942 and served there until the end of WW II.

He married Flora Adkins June 28, 1948 in San Pablo, California where her brother, Al-

len Adkins was pastor. To them were born two children, Deborah Joy and Floyd William.

Bro. Cooper was set aside as a deacon by the 1st MBC of Salinas but in a few months

they moved to Denver, Colo, and united with the Lakewood church there. When the letter

was received the Salinas church had noted that he had been set aside to be ordained by that

church and the Lakewood church agreed with them as to his value in this office and they

ordained him in September of 1956.

He served as deacon in the Lakewood church from Sept 1956 until June of 1962 when

they moved to Dierks, Ark. He served in the Holly Creek MBC there from June until Au-

gust of 1963 when they moved back to California and united with the Highlands MBC in

Aug. of 1963 and served here until his death on Aug. 6, 1973.

Statistics do not begin to tell his worth in the work of the Lord, particularly his help to

this pastor. He was truly the kind of man that made the work of God easy and enjoyable

where without his help difficulties were made harder and burdens became a load.

MODERATOR’S ADDRESS

California Cooperative Association — 25th session

March 25, 1975

Thomas Lee Counts

Messengers, visitors and guests: It is my prayer that this meeting will be a

demonstration of our faith in God and our determination to dwell together

in unity. May our goals and purposes this year be united for missions in the

state of California. I have chosen to deliver this address to you on the sub-

ject, The Promise of Victory. Revelation 3:10-13, “Because thou hast kept

the word of my patience, I also will keep thee from the hour of temptation,

which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth.

Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy

crown. Him that overcometh will I make a pillar in the temple of my God,

and he shall go no more out: and I will write upon him the name of my God,

and the name of the city of my God, which is new Jerusalem, which cometh

down out of heaven from my God: and I will write upon him my new name.”

Last year my address dealt with Satanic efforts to destroy “The Faith.”

This year I want to show that although the days leading up to the rapture

will be trying, Christ has promised ultimate victory to the - over-comers at

His return.

There has always been a standard by which man has lived acceptably be-

fore God. When a firm stand was taken, persecution always followed. In

the earliest era of man, known as the age of conscience, God made known

His will in personal revelations. As man stood for God in that time he was

persecuted by Satan or his followers. Abel and Job are examples. When God

raised up a nation unto His name and gave her a standard of life known as

“The Law,” persecution became the lot of this nation. It began with Ishmael

mocking Isaac and continues through his seed until today. We are now living

in the church age, and Satan has turned his attention and persecution upon

the church. Christ has given us a set of standards by which we, as Christians

and churches, are to live. This standard is the New Testament. In Luke 18:8

Jesus said, “. . Nevertheless when the Son of man cometh, shall he find faith

on the earth?” This could be better translated to real, “When the Son of man

returns He most assuredly will find that system of beliefs on the earth even

after severe moral and spiritual testing.” There will be churches who will not

betray this trust, though they will be tried severely. As we observe churches

of our fellowship departing from what they once taught and seeking friends

among other denomninations, let us strive to be more dedicated to our Bap-

tist beliefs though persecution will come to those who do not align them-

selves with the modern trend of Christendom.

We are facing a time today that will be more tryin to the lives of men than

the days of the “Dark Ages.’ We are seeing the world being set for the rule

of Anti-Christ. The teachings of the New Testament, and all those who es-

teem them, will sustain the most nefarious

—12—

testing from now until our Lord comes for us. It is with mixed emotions that

Christians view the present world events. On one hand we are concerned

for the physical welfare of our families, and on the other hand we are joyful

because Jesus’ return is near. Only through Christ and His mercy can we

bear the days ahead.

I would like to point out some of the present day happenings that will af-

fect us as New Testament churches.

Two internationally known men, Mr. Adlai Stevenson, U.S. Ambassador

to the United Nations, and Mr. U Thant, Secretary-General of the United

Nations, in prepared speeches at the 96th Charter Anniversary ceremonies

of the University of California at Berkeley, issued passionate pleas for one

world government.

On December 29, 1961, the Vatican newspaper, L’Osservatore Romano,

commenting on the assembly of the World Council of Churches in New Del-

hi, India, said, “Christian unity can only be realized through a CATHOLIC-

TYPE HIERARCHY presided over by an infallible authority” (the Pope of

Rome). Since that time, great strides have been made toward making this

possible.

In June of 1963, Mr. U Thant, speaking at a meeting of the Harvard Alumni

Association in Cambridge, Massachusetts, urged, “. . the ultimate establish-

ment of an international police force.”

In July of 1973 more than five hundred lawyers from all over the world

met in Athens, Greece, at the “World Peace Through Law” conference. One

of the speakers at that conference was Chief Justice Earl Warren of the Unit-

ed States Supreme Court. He encouraged the lawyers of the world to work

together to create an International Court with power to enforce its decisions.

In the last two decades an all-out drive has been made to unite the world

in all areas of life. Recently the news media have carried reports of a new

constitution for the United States, written by historians financed by the Ford

Foundation. Last year the Sacramento Bee stated that a universal currency

had been printed and was awaiting proper time for distribution.

The things I have just mentioned show legislative, political, economic,

military and religious dominance under a one world system. How will our

churches survive under such a rule? Jesus said that He will find the sys-

tem of doctrines when He returns. The question is, are we, the churches in

California, spiritually prepared for these comma events? Are we preachers

presenting sin as sin and righteousness as righteousness, or do we blatantly

teach situation ethics? Are our churches truly evangelistic and missionary?

Is the great commission a doctrine we believe or a doctrine we practice? Are

our members taught to live separated lives through God’s Spirit? Will He

find in us this faithfulness? If God should delay His coming another decade,

we will be serving under these most perilous conditions.

Sometimes It seems our labors are in vain and we ask, “Where are the

rewards for our labor?” Paul encouraged, “And let us not be weary in well

doing: for in due season we shall reap If we faint not.” Also, Jesus

—13—

said, “I will never leave you nor foresake you.” The rewards for our faith-

fulness are illustrated in the story of an old missionary who, because of bad

health, had to return home from Africa. When he reached the docks in Af-

rica, there were bands and cheerings crowds. However, the fanfare wasn’t

for him, but for Teddy Roosevelt. None came to bid him farewell. When the

ship reached the States, there again was a fanfare for the great hunter, but no

welcome for the sickly missionary. In his hotel room the missionary began

to pray, “Lord, I gave my life for souls in Africa and Mr. Roosevelt came to

take the lives of animals. He was cheered and praised on both sides of the

ocean. I received no farewell where I served, and when I got home, not one,

“Well done!” And then it was as though God said to him, “Old Missionary,

you are not home yet.”

Therefore, let us be churches and psators who will be faithful to God

though there be little praise or fanfare here, remembering God’s promise,

“To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I

also overcame, and am set by my Father In His throne.”

Foreign Mission Report

The Highlands Missionary Baptist Church prayerfully submits the follow-

ing report:

Because one of the primary reasons for the existence of a cooperative asso-

ciation such as ours is that of missions on a world-wide basis In which each

of our churches may share, we agree that the Great Commission was given

equally to each New Testament church.

With over 100 countries in our world and with missionaries from our

churches in only 22 of those countries (six of which are being served by

California church-sent missionaries), we see how great the need to “pray the

Lord of the harvest to send laborers into His harvest”. (Matt. 9:37-38)

With new doors opening to us, as India, Korea and other countries where

there are established missions, let us not be hesitant to invest our mission

money in these areas of opportunity. We urge the financial support of such

projects as the purchase of land and building of buildings to be used to train

those whom God saves and calls to preach in their native land.

Let us encourage our churches to pray for God to call more of our minis-

ters who will follow His leading into these fields. Let us have a willing heart

to give our sons and those who are greatly loved by our churches that the

harvest which is white may have the sickle of God’s Word thrust in to reap

it for His honor and glory.

With the understanding of the Great Commission so plain in our minds,

let’s look upon the world with a will-mg heart and ready mind to go forward

in the area of missions as we see the day approaching.

Home Mission Report

The Great Commission was given to the churches of the Lord Jesus Christ.

Matt. 28:19-20.

The Lord seems to divide the Commission into three distinct areas ac-

cording to Acts 1:8 “.. , and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem

(home missions) and in all Judea, and in Samaria, (state and inter-state) and

unto the uttermost part of the earth.” (foreign missions)

Home missions is the beginning phase of all scriptural mission work. A

church that has no interest in doing mission work at home will probably ac-

complish very little anywhere else in the world.

The secret of the success of the first church is recorded in Acts 2:46-47

“And they, continuing daily with one accord in the temple, and breaking

bread from house to house, did eat their meat with gladness and singleness

of heart, Praising God, and having favor with all the people.”

The secret of a success in home missions is not high pressure programs

or schemes, but in following God’s plan of missions. Home missions means

every church member going into the field, with the good news. The Lord did

not command us to either go or send some one else In our place. He com-

manded us to GO!

The Lord never commanded us to pray for a harvest, because the harvest

is always white and ready to be gathered. He did command us to pray for

harvesters. The harvest will never come in out of the field, It has to be gath-

ered.

Each church has the responsibility of evangelizing their own field of la-

bour. One has not fulfilled the commands of the Lord by merely supporting

the various Missionaries on the field. Each of God’s children, through His

Church, is a missionary. Therefore let each church follow the example of go-

ing from house to house until every one has heard the good news that Jesus

Saves. If this is done, souls will not only be saved but no Missionary on any

field of endeavor will go lacking for funds to carry on the work of the Lord.

Christian Education Report

In the commission the Lord gave to the Church He first instructed her to

make disciples. A disciple is not made by the modern, high-powered evan-

gelism that gets “decisions” because a real disciple is a follower and a learn-

er. The one who becomes a real disciple can then be taught the all things of

God as the commission states.

Because the Bible states that the pastor is to feed the

—15—

flock of God, he is very much the key person in implementing and carry-

ing out an effective educational program. The subject for Christian educa-

tion is the Bible. One law of teaching is that you cannot teach what you do

not know. Therefore, we highly encourage every young preacher and every

preacher who can possibly do so to take advantage of C.M.B.I. We encour-

age the thorough and careful study of the Bible at home for all.

We would also encourage any person who can to attend C.M.B.I. at

Bellflower and recommend increased liberal support of the school.

Christian education is not a duty of pastors and Sunday School

teachers only, but is the duty of mothers and fathers in the home. The words

God gave to Israel in Deuteronomy 6:6,7 should be strictly adhered to by all

Missionary Baptist families. “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.”

Christian Literature Report

We recognize the Bible, God’s Holy Word, as our sole, absolute and final

rule of our faith and practice. The Scriptures are our all sufficient authority

for every sphere of Christian endeavor. Therefore, the Word of God is to be

read, to be studied and to be followed in practical living by every Mission-

ary Baptist. The Holy Spirit, through His Word, endeavors to lead, comfort,

persuade, admonish, teach and edify His called-out people. Consequently,

knowledge of the content of the Bible is a must for everyone proposing to

live a Spirit-filled life. (II Timothy 3:16,17)

Moreover, writings which honor and glorify Jesus Christ and uphold the

Scriptures and truth are properly classified as Christian literature. In these

latter times, when the devil’s heretical and pornographic literature floods

across our nation, we need to increase our use and study of Landmark Bap-

tist literature, books, periodicals, papers and tracts.

We urgently need to publicize and promote writings of Landmark Mis-

sionary Baptists to counteract the literature of heresy, of corruption, of im-

purity to which our people are exposed. We urge Baptist assemblies and

Baptist parents to buy and stock Landmark Baptist literature in their librar-

ies and homes and encourage their young people to study them. Moreover,

we urgently recommend that Baptist people become and remain students of

the Bible and the great heritage of Baptists in history.

History & Archives Committee Report

Dear Brethren:

Our committee has tried to collect as much information as possible, during

the past year, relative to Missionary Baptist work in California. Much of the

material we have collected is on display at the messenger meeting this year.

Our committee has made available a souvenir copy of the 1955 state

minutes, to the messengers at this meeting.

We recommend that a chronology of our state work, prepared by our com-

mittee, be included in our state minutes each year, showing the year, meet-

ing place, moderator and clerk.

We further recommend that a brief statement concerning data of organiza-

tion, and so on, be printed in our state minutes, about each new church com-

ing into our cooperative work.

RESOLUTION

The following resolution on Alien Immersion was adopted by the mes-

senger body of the American Baptist Association, March 6-8, 1928 at Okla-

homa City, Oklahoma.

J. T. Moore presented the resolution. (pg. 73, 1928 A.B.A)

“Whereas the reception of alien immersion is the common practice of al-

most every church in the Northern Baptist Convention, even the churches

known as fundamentalists, and is also the practice of many churches in the

Southern Baptist Convention;

And whereas, this practice is contrary to the practice of New Testament

Churches in apostolic days, and also the practice of loyal Baptists through

the centuries from apostolic days to the present; and

Whereas this heretical practice subverts Baptist Churches, opens the flood

gates to all sorts of error and loose practice that would, if possible, blot out

true Baptist Churches from the earth;

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

American Baptist Association, go on record as positively dealing against

such a promiscuous practice, and that we recommend to the churches and

—18—

pastors to be careful in accepting applicants for membership on letters from

Baptist Churches, that the bearers of the letters have been baptized upon the

authority of a Baptist Church We also condemn so-called union meetings in

which some engage. If this resolution was felt necessary some 47 years ago,

it is even more essential today. Each church must exercise care in the recep-

tion of new members and determine that Baptism has been administered by

a Scriptural New Testament Church.

Presented by:

The First Landmark

Missionary Baptist Church

of Visalia, California

Wayne Beene, Pastor

Paul Blackburn, Clerk

RESOLUTION

We the Landmark Baptist Church of Folsom, recommend to our sister

Churches of the California Co-operative Association, when convened in its

25th Annual Meeting:

Be it resolved, that as a result of increasing liberalism among a great num-

ber of Baptist Churches, namely; The Northern, Conservative, Southern

Convention, General Association of Regular Baptists, Bible Baptist Fellow-

ship, World Fundamental Fellowship; that we draw the lines and refuse their

immersions. The reasons are clear cut, and the examples are undebatable.

Churches receiving such poor authorities on immersion are tearing at the

principle foundations of old line Bible standards upheld for centuries by

scriptural Baptist Churches. Therefore, let us line up by the side of our fore-

fathers and plant our feet firmly on the scriptural ground, letting all Baptist

groups in every quarter know that we are in business with God’s Heritage

and unhestitatingly refuse to participate in their ungodliness.

Be It further recommended that when we, as local Churches, are placed

in a position of accepting a member from a Church within our fellowship

or association which does accept questionable baptisms, we should make a

thorough investigation of such Church.

Done by order of Landmark Baptist Church of Folsom, in regular confer-

ence, February 12, 1975.

Wallace T. Cooper, Moderator

Barbara Ware, Clerk

RESOLUTION

Whereas the yearbook of the American Baptist Association, only list the

Interstate and Foreign Missionaries of the endorsing churches of the asso-

ciation, this is only a small phase of the work of the churches.

Therefore be It resolved that the churches of the state cooperative associa-

tion purchase a page annually from the minute fund and clerk hire money

and if funds aren’t available then a special offering to be taken dur-

—19—

ing the annual meeting of the State Association.

Any missionary and their endorsing church not otherwise listed in the

A.B.A. yearbook be listed along with their address and the address of the

church or mission in which they are working.

Therefore be it further resolved that we authorize our clerk to petition the

messengers when convened in St. Louis, Mo. to set a rate for a paid ad in

the yearbook.

Respectefully submitted,

Dwight Patterson

RESOLUTION

To the churches composing the Cooperative Association of Missionary Bap-

tist Churches of California when convened at Visalia, Ca.

Dear Brethren:

We, The Southside Missionary Baptist Church of Sacramento Ca. submit

for your consideration the following resolution:

Since Landmark Baptist Churches down through the ages have steadfastly

defended the right of freedom of speech and of the press, though many times

not endorsing what was spoken or printed, but believing that any force that

could be used to stop others could in turn be used to stop them, We therefore

do not endorse the actions of a group calling themselves Landmark Bap-

tists, who allegedly entered a business establishment in Sacramento Ca. and

threw the merchandise out, as they said, “they found it offensive,” though

they were well aware of the kind of business it was before they entered. And

since this act has received a large amount of publicity in the news media

throughout the state, and the name Landmark Baptist has been used in con-

nection with it, Be it therefore resolved; That we the churches of this As-

sociation notify and request the news media to publish the fact that though

we in no way endorse pornography of any kind, neither do we endorse the

actions of this group. Also that they publish the fact that these do not rep-

resent or affiliate with the churches of this Association. Said group being

members of the Landmark Baptist Church on Wyda Way, Sacramento, Ca.

James Wilkins, Pastor.

Done by order of the Southside Missionary Baptist Church of Sacto. Ca. in

regular business conference March 5, 1975.

Bonnie Smith, Clerk

RESOLUTION

Resolution to the California Cooperative Association of Missionary Bap-

tist Churches.

Whereas the Charismatic Movement involving “The speaking in unknown

tongues” has invaded many churches of all denominations,

And whereas Missionary Baptist believe that this movement

—20—

is both unscriptural and dangerous to the fellowship of a New Testament

Church,

Be it therefore resolved that the California Cooperative Association go on

record as opposing every principle of this movement.

Respectfully submitted, Missionary Baptist

Mission of Nice, Ca.

Approved by the Faith Missionary Baptist Church of Concord, California

RESOLUTION

AMERICAN REVOLUTION BICENTENNIAL

WHEREAS, in 1976 the United States of America will be observing the bi-

centennial year of her revolution for independence and freedom and where-

as God has bestowed manifold blessings on this nation from the beginning;

BE IT RESOLVED that we the messengers to the 1975 session of the

California Cooperative Association request that the moderator of the 1976

a special program at the 1976 session that would properly express our ap-

preciation to God for the way he has blessed our nation and

RESOLUTION FOR HUME LAKE

PASTOR’S CONFERENCE

Whereas, the annual pastor’s conference at Hume Lake Conference

Grounds has proven to be a means of strengthening the fellowship of the

pastors; and

Whereas, this type of fellowship for the pastors and their wives contributes

to the profit of every church in California;

Therefore, be it resolved: That we recommend to our sister churches that

they pay the fees to the pastor’s confrence for their pastor and his wife and

any missionary and his wife that they sponsor.
