Journal of Proceedings Hopkins, Michigan August 1-3, 1963

The first sitting of the sixty-third Annual Michigan Conference of the Pilgrim Holiness Church convened at 9:00 A. M.,. August 1, 1963, at the District Camp Grounds, Hopkins, Michigan.

Rev. Clyde M. Marshall, Conference Superintendent, called the Con-tference to order with words of greeting. Rev. J. H. Kotesky, Assistant Con-ference Superintendent, led in prayer.

The congregation was led in the singing of "Stand Up For Jesus", with Rev. Vaughn Drummond directing and Mrs. Drummond presiding at the piano.

Rev. Marshall then presented General Superintendent and Presiding Officer, Dr. Melvin H. Snyder. The Scripture reading was from Revelation 3:7-13, from which Dr. Snyder spoke on the following:

(1) Spiritual perceptibility (2) Spiritual conflict (3) Spiritual accountability (4) Ministerial responsibility

His discourse on the seven churches was a timely admonition for mm- isters and laity.

The roll was called and approved. It was moved and carried that the first ten seats in the three sections,

and the platform, shall constitute the Conference Bar. A recommendation from the District Council brought the following

ordained ministerial tranfers: Rev. James E. King, from East Michigan District Rev. W. W. Tromble, from Kentucky District Rev. Alton Finney, from Northern Indiana District, and Rev. Stan-

ley Dean, from Western Ohio District, were received pending receipt of their Conference transfers.

It was moved and carried to receive these brethren into our Conference and fellowship.

Rev. M. L. Goodman, Conference Secretary, read the report of the Edu- cational and Examining Boards: Ordination to the Ministery

Licensed Deaconesses Thelma McLaughlin Mrs. Henrietta Sherman

A motion was carried to accept this report. Rev. Clyde M. Marshall, Conference Superintendent, presented his re-

port. Dr. Snyder commented on the excellent report, and it was accepted by the Conference with a rising vote of thanks.

Rev. J. H. Koteskey, Assistant Conference Superintendent, gave a brief but commendable report which was received with a vote of appreciation.

Rev. M. L. Goodman read a report by Willard M. Taylor of Taylor's Ao-counting and Tax Service, covering the financial report of the Michigan Conference. It was moved and carried to accept this report.

Rev. K. P. Boileau, Conference Treasurer, gave a report on the Con-ference finances. The report was accepted with appreciation.

Rev. Ron David and delegates, Mrs. Lucille Timmerman, from the newly organized church in North Muskegon, known as Memorial Drive Pilgrim church, were presented to Dr. Snyder by Rev. Marshall. The Conference received this group into fellowship by a verbal vote and the singing of the "Doxology."

Rev. V. L. Draggoo, Conference Sunday School Treasurer, presented his report. A motion was made and carried to receive this report.

Rev. Lawrence L. Keeor, Conference Sunday School Secretary, gave an excellent report on the growth of the Sunday schools in Michigan Con-ference. This report was received with appreciation. Those with largest gains were: Ithaca, Traverse Heights, Almira, Memorial Drive and Jackson. He gave a special District Conference Sunday School Award to Ithaca in recog-nition of their gain, which was 38%. All Sunday schools with a 5% gain or more this past year were given ribbons.

Mrs. Marya Barrett, Conference Missionary Treasurer, gave her report which was accepted with appreciation for the fine records kept during the past year.

Due to expiration of time, the Conference recessed for lunch.

SECOND SITTING

The Conference reconvened for its second sitting at 1:30 P. M. with Rev. Lawrence L. Keesor leading in the singing of "'Tis So Sweet To Trust In Jesus." Mrs. Keesor accompanied at the piano.

Rev. A. C. Doehring, former Conference Superintendent now entering evangelism, was asked to lead in prayer. Before the prayer, he publicly thanked the ministers and laity who had so faithfully prayed for him and Mrs. Doehring, following the near-tragic accident they experienced last fall.

Four ministers who are taking pastorates this year in the Michigan Conference were presented, after which each gave a testimony. They were: Rev. Stanley Dean, who is transferring from Western Ohio District, to pastor at Breckenridge; Rev. James P. Campau, Crystal; Rev. Arthur O'Dell, Ashley; Rev. Richard Workman, Lutz. The last three are taking their first pastorates with the Michigan Conference.

In accordance with General Conference action of 1962, each pastor was asked to give an oral report. This gave a truer picture of each work, as well as being very informative, particularly to the lay delegates. Pastors from 37 organized churches reported, as well as pastors from the three unorgan-ized churches. After an analysis and summation by Dr. Snyder, Rev. Ronald Diehl was asked to dismiss in prayer.

THIRD SITTING

The third sitting of the Michigan Conference of the Pilgrim 1-Toliness Church reconvened at 7:00 P. M.

Dr. Snyder read from II Chronicles 16, an excerpt from Asa's biography. With this scriptural background he emphasized the type of man God wants and needs for the work of instructing others. He states that at least three things should characterize their ministry:

I. A man who will be quiet enough to hear His message. II. A man who will be brave enough to preach His message. III. A man who will he honest enough to live His message. The ordination charge was read to the candidates after which they, with

their wives, knelt at the altar for prayer and the laying on of hands by the ordination committee. Rev. Mrs. Lila Manker, mother of Wesley W. Manker, was invited to participate in the ordination of her son. Dr. Snyder then pre-sented the certificates to the newly ordained ministers. The congregation sang the "Doxology."

— 12—

Dr. Melvin Snyder, General Superintendent, asked for several members of the Conference to make a contribution by giving a favorite portion of Scripture.

It was moved and carried to suspend the roll call. The minutes of the third sitting were read and approved. It was moved and carried to suspend the order of the day and proceed

with the election of Conference officers. Before presenting the nominations from the Distirct Council, Mr. Don-

ald Duff, representative from Brotherhood Mutual Insurance Company, was introduced. He presented a group insurance plan for ministers. It was moved and carried that the Council be given the privilege of appointing a committee to make final decision on the matter of group insurance.

Conference Superintendent, Rev. Clyde M. Marshall, appointed the following tellers: Rev. Dale Brugger, head teller, Rev. Clifford Dean, Rev. Audley Freed, Rev. David Leamon, Rev. Estle Engle,, Rev.

Dr. Snyder asked God's blessing on the election proceedings. Dr. Paul F. Elliott, President of Owosso College, was presented and

brought greetings from our liberal-arts college. Mrs. Elliott was also present.

Ballots were cast for Conference Treasurer. Rev. K. P. Boileau was re-elected.

During the ballot count, Dr. Snyder took this opportunity to clarify a matter of importance to the Pilgrims. Some have wondered as to the posi-tion the Pilgrim Holiness Church has taken in regard to membership in the National Council of Churches. He stated that this denomination is not a member of the Council. The church editor, Rev. A. D. Peisker, is of neces-sity a member of the International Sunday School Committee, which is an affiliate of the Council, but is in no way connected with active membership in the Council.

Ballots were cast for advisory members of the District Council. The fol-lowing were elected: Rev. C. E. Messer, Rev. V. L. Draggoo and Rev. A. C. Doehring were re-elected.

During the ballot interim, Rev. Robert Worgul from the Michigan Temper-ance Foundation was introduced to the Conference. He gave a revealing talk on what the Foundation has been able to accomplish, not only in rehabilita-tion, but in preventing certain evils from getting a foothold in the State, such as Sunday sale of liquor and dog racing, etc.

Rev W. W. Tromble, who has recently transferred from the Kentucky Conference was presented, and gave a few words of testimony.

Since the Bureau of Internal Revenue does give consideration to ordain-ed ministers on the teaching staff of Owosso College, it was moved and carried to officially and indefinitely appoint the following persons to the teaching staff of Owosso College:

Dr. Paul F. Elliott Rev. Walter Thomas Dr. Floyd McCallum Rev. Mrs. Catherine Thomas Professor W. W. Tromble Rev. Eugene Erickson Rev. Miss Bertha Kienbaum Rev. R. K. Storey Dr. Joshua Stauffer

-

Ballots were cast for Conference Missionary President. Mrs. F. W. Gibbs was elected.

Due to health reasons, Mrs. Clarissa Penny, who has served in this capa-city for a number of years, felt her name should not be run. In appreciation for years of faithful work in the missionary interests, it was moved and car-ried that the Conference give a rising vote of thanks to Sister Penny.

A request came from lay delegate Paul Mael as to a statement of assets and liabilities for district property. Since this information has not been in-cluded heretofore, Dr. Snyder requested that this be included in the Trea-surer's report next year.

Superintendent's Report To General Superintendent, Dr. M. H. Snyder, Fellow Ministers, Lay

Delegates, and Friends of the Sixty-Third Annual Conference, Greetings in the Name of our wonderful Lord and Saviour.

Through Divine Providence we are assembled together in another Dis-trict Conference. However frail and blundering may have been our human efforts over the past year, I am grateful for the overruling faithfulness and 1nercy of the Holy Spirit to preserve and build the Church.

I desire to pay special tribute to my predecessor, Reverend A. C. Doch-ring. I entertain no illusions that I have been able to replace the fine, dedi-cated, experienced leadership of our former District Superintendent. How-ever, I am personally grateful to Brother Doehring for his invaluable coun-sel and assistance during this period of transition.

The keen consciousness of our loss of a friend and a very able Brother Minister at the death of Reverend James D. Wimer lingers with us. To Sister Witmer and the children is extended our heartfelt sympathy as each of us mourn their loss with them. The Battle Creek Northside Pilgrims have changed the name of their church to the Witmer Memorial Pilgrim Church in memory of their former pastor, Reverend James D. Witmer.

No conference has ever convened under a greater shadow of national

and international spiritual dearth and moral bankruptcy. In our own State of Michigan in a symposium titled, " Today's Family What's It Really Like?" held at the University of Michigan a few days ago, it was said, "Michigan families fall into four categories: those with no religious life, those with token religious life, those with unrewarding religious life, and those with meaningful religious life. An estimated 60 to 70 per cent fall into the first category."

A statement of this nature is appalling. However, did not Jesus say, "Let your light shine"? The very fact that aproximately 55 per cent of the people of the State of Michigan have no church affiliation should challenge every Michigan Pilgrim to an offensive warfare.

I would urge this Conference to give prayerful consideration to the resolutions to be presented and to take definite action to provide better district organization. Although this Conference may want to modify them, I feel that the church extension policy, the loan fund plan, the Sunday school zone plan, and the other resolutions which spell out the responsibilities of the various committees are good and needed legislation.

DISTRICT COUNCIL — I have never had the privilege of associating with a finer, more dedicated group of men than those you have elected to to the office of district council. Special mention should be made of Reverend J. H. Koteskey, Assistant Superintendent. His counsel has been invaluable to me over the year. The efficiency of Reverend M. L. Goodman, Conference Secretary, has made my job much easier. Perhaps the hardest working mem-ber of the council is Reverend K. P. Boileau, District Treasurer. He has served you well. Many times he has gone beyond the line of duty. To the District Council, I express my heartfelt thanks.

DISTRICT YOUTH — The excellent leadership of Reverend Ronald Diehl and the youth council is self-evident. They have successfully sponsored and erected the very fine pavilion building on this camp grounds. The spiritual tide of youth camp was high as numbers of young people received spiritual help. A new attendance record was set with nearly two hundred boys and girls present.

SUNDAY SCHOOL — Under the enthusiastic leadership of the Sunday School Promotional Secretary, Reverend L. L. Keesor and his committee, new district Sunday school attendance records were set in the "March to Sunday School in March" contest.

MISSIONARY SOCIETY — This has been a very active department under the able leadership of Sister Clarrisa Penny, President. For a district project, they have presented the camp kitchen with a large electric mixer.

CHURCH EXTENSION — The outstanding accomplishment of this de-partment was the organization of a new church at North Muskegon called the Memorial Drive Pilgrim Church. This was organized with 18 charter members. The services of Reverend W. L. Silvers, Chairman, have been a great help to the pastor, Reverend Ron David, and his people of this new church.

CAMP BOARD — The camp board, under the leadership of its chair-man, Reverend Wm. Watkins, sponsored a successful work week. Some of the visib1e results are the changing of the platform of the tabernacle and the construction of the pavilion building.

CAMP PLANNING — Reverend H. C. Diller has served as the chair-man of this committee since its inception. This committee deserves a vote of appreciation for the long range planning of the future development of the camp grounds.

MINISTERIAL CONVENTION — The joint ministerial convention with the East Michigan Conference proved a real blessing. I heartily endorse another such convention.

CHURCHES — I shall report only new buildings and improvementss in this column. Alma re-decorated the parsonage; Almira is building a new Sunday school unit; Ashley is extensively remodeling the parsonage, Bell-

- 17—

aire has purchased the property next to the church for future expansion. Cheboygan has built a multi-purpose room on the parsonage; Coleman has purchased a new parsonage; Crystal has re-decorated the church, purchased a trailer home for the pastor; Eaton Rapids has landscaped the yard of the parsonage; Edgetts has re-decorated the parsonage and are presently con-structing a new church building; Ellsworth has painted the exterior of the parsonage, placed new carpeting and linoleum on the parsonage floors, and purchased new pews and pulpit furniture; Frankfort has painted the par-sonage trim and planted shrubbery around the church; Hastings has com-pleted extensive remodeling of the parsonage, landscaped the church lawn, and erected a new outside church bulletin board; Houghton Lake erected a new lighted sign, purchased new hymnals, and refinished the pews; Ithaca has completed the construction of a lovely new church; Lansing Grace has made extensive improvements on the church, purchased another lot for parking; Leutz has painted the interior of the church; Merrill has purchased some new pews and plan to build a new church or enlarge the old one; Mid-land First has purchased two lots adjoining the church for a proposed new parsonage; Midland Grace has erected a lovely new church building; Mus-kegon has insulated its church and are presently painting the church and the educational units; Newberry has put new siding on its church; Owosso has built new organ chambers, installed new carpeting in all of the en-trances and stairways of the church; Rockford has purchased a lovely par-sonage next to the church; Sterling has purchased a new organ; Traverse City First has placed the old parsonage up for sale with the intentions of purchasing or building a new one; Traverse Heights has purchased new pews and a pulpit and re-decorated the church; Sault Ste Marie has constructed a new garage; Battle Creek First has re-decorated the parsonage; Jackson has its parsonage up for sale with plans to build a new one, they have also completed a beautiful new Church building; Wyoming City has done con-siderable landscaping around the parsonage-church; Burnips has plans to complete its lovely educational unit; Kalamazoo has plans to build an addition to their church.

PASTORS — Fifteen pastoral changes have been effected. Reverend Arthur O'Dell to Ashley; Reverend J. H. Koteskey to Battle Creek First; Reverend Lyle Reynolds to Witmer Memorial; Reverend Stanley Dean to Breckenridge; Reverend Wm. Osborn to Burnips; Reverend James Campau to Crystal; Reverend Dale Brugger to Frankfort: Reverend C. L. Walker to Berkley Hills; Reverend Carroll Johnson to Houghton Lake; Reverend Ber-nard Churchill to Lansing Emanuel; Reverend C., E. Messer to Lansing First, Reverend Richard Workman to Leutz; Reverend Audley Freed to Scottville; Reverend Alton Finney to Sterling; Reverend Leon Bruff to Chesaning.

According to my records, twenty-two churches have increased their pastor's support in one way or another. Twenty-three pastors have extended pastoral appointments. Several churches, however, could and should be contributing more toward the support of their pastor through increased salaries, car allowances, hospital insurance, and the pension plan.

AN EXPRESSION OF APPRECIATION — I am grateful to each pastor for his co-operation and understanding. You hae made me feel welcome both in your church and your home. To the churches and the church boards, your support of the General and District Church is deeply appreciated. Without your wholehearted co-operation little could be accomplished. The various district committees should be commended for a job well done. If any-thing has been accomplished over the past year, it is because the pastors, churches, laymen, and committees have been faithful and God has been pleased to give the increase.

Sunday School Promotional Secretary Report To our General Superintendent, Dr. Melvin H. Snyder, our District

Superintendent, Rev. C. M. Marshall; and members of the 63rd Annual Conference of the Michigan District. Greetings in the name of Christ!

You've often heard it said that "nothing succeeds like success." As we examine the Sunday schools of those churches who have risen to great heights in their endeavors, we find a very definite indication that success is actually due less to one's ability than to the enthusiastic drive behind the objective. One has said, "enthusiasm must be God given and can only be intensified by prayer." We as a District this year captured some of this enthusiasm.

It has been the prayer of your District Sunday School Committee that God may give us a new appreciation of the Sunday School, a soul delight

— 19 —

in the word of God and that we may find a new joy in personal labors for Christ. All indications are, that God has answered prayer.

This has been a good year for our Sunday Schools. Much credit must be given to each pastor, sunday school superintendent, officer, and teacher. I would like also to thank the fine committee that worked with me this year; their cooperation and participation has never been better.

The entire program of the year helped us to get on the move again. The Absentee Visitation Board was presented to all the churches during Sunday School Institute Week. This program of the Distirct was accepted with enthusiasm. We feel that this has helped many of our churches.

Last fall our District challenged the East Michigan District to a Spring Sunday School contest. Out of this came the "March to Sunday School in March" contest. This, too, was accepted by our churches. The results were most gratifying. During the month of March we had the largest monthly average in the history of the District with 5,242. The largest numerical gain with 585. We had 2,477 more people in Sunday School than the East Michigan District. This meant a resounding victory for our District. Some were afraid of a let down in the month of April. We again broke the old record for the second consecutive month by averaging 5,164. This goes to show us that we can, by the help of the Lord, average over 5,000 in Sunday School each month.

We would like to show you the progress that was made this year in many of our churches. For the year 1961-62 only 16 of our 44 churches showed a gain. This year 1962-63, 29 churches show a gain plus 2 that were even. This means that 31 out of our 44 churches are in the gain column. We thank God for this increase.

I am pleased to report that 40 of our 44 churches have paid their Sun-day school assessments. This again goes to show what wonderful coopera-tion we have had this year.

Plans have already been formulated for our fall and spring promotions. The Zones Sunday School Institute will be held September 16-20 in accord-ance with Conference action. It was decided that the program should cover the following: Sunday school literature, teacher training, junior Sunday School, Sunday School membership certificates, and a film on boosting Sun-day school attendance. For the spring, the East Michigan District has chal-lenged us to another Sunday school contest. We welcome this with anticipa-tion. We always believe in giving one a second chance, epecially our breth-ren.

There is a great need for branch Sunday schools. This, seemingly, is where we have failed the most. Our goal this year is to start at least one new branch Sunday school in each zone. Our zones are being organized this year so that we may accomplish this goal.

I have in my possession the Sunday school analysis chart which was sent to all pastors this spring. Many of these have been returned. Of those returned, many Sunday schools have desires that have been begging for an opportunity to reach fulfillment. Lack of spirit in generating sufficient enthusiasmto start the ball rolling is the real obstacle or stumbling block. Sunday school worker, the people are here. God has provided the ways and means, you must provide the want to. May God help us this year to catch more of this spirit of I can and I will.

WILLIAM H. JOPPIE

Rev. William Homer Joppie, who for some years served the Pilgrim Holiness Church as a member of the General Board, went to be with his Lord, November 19, 1962.

He had a long and fruitful ministery. Ordained in 1922, he first served in Michigan where he pastored at Ellsworth, South Ovid. Baltimore, Cedar Creek, Hastings, Salem, and Applegate.

He later pastored the Pilgrim Holiness Church at McKeesport, Pennsyl-vania, and under his leadership the congregation was able to erect a lovely brick church and parsonage. He also helped start the churches at Belbridge Elizabeth, West Newton, and Donora, Pennsylvania.

While serving as pastor at McKeesport, he was elected superintendent of the Pennsylvania-New Jersey Conference. This position he held for four years.

After ten years in Pennsylvania, he returned to Michigan and accepted the pastorate at Burnips. He was elected district superintendent and served in that capacity for more than three years.

At various times Brother Joppie served as chairman of boards of Owosso College and Eastern Pilgrim College.

Rev. Joppie was born in the Netherlands, October 1, 1883. As an infant, he was brought by parents to America. They lived in Grand Rapids, Mich-igan until 1895. From there the family moved to Vermontville, Michigan.

He was converted at 20 years of age, and a few months later joined the Apostolic Holiness Church, one of the holiness bodies which merged to form the Pilgrim Holiness Church.

In 1905 he was married to Elta Childs and to this union was born a son, Alton S. Joppie. Mrs. Joppie died at the age of 24 while she and her husband served as pastors of the Ellsworth, Michigan Pilgrim Holiness Church. He was in 1910 married to Hester Graham, and to this union were born two Sons: Harry Marshall and Maurice Wesley.

During his retirement years Brother Joppie preached as opportunity afforded in pulpits near his residence. His last testimony was "I wish I had been a better man and a better preacher. The happy memories of the churches established, churches served, and the years spent in God's service cheer my heart."

Memoirs REV.. JAMES D. WITMER

The Reverend James D. Witmer was born in Hazel Park, Michigan, July 14, 1928, to Mr. and Mrs. Gordon Witmer, who now reside in St. Louis, Michigan.

On July 20, 1946, he was united in marriage to Margaret Grostefon. To this union four children were born. They are: Ruth Ann, age 15, James Jr., age 12, Connie Jean, age 6, and Terrie Joy, age 1½ years.

Early in life he found Christ in saving arid sanctifying grace. Feeling a call to the ministry he entered Owosso College. While still in college he accepted the pastorate in a small mission Church in Midland, Michigan. From Midland he moved to Edgetts, Michigan where he accepted the pastorate of the Pilgrim Holiness Church. He remained at Edgetts three years.

In September of 1958 Brother Witmer accepted the pastorate of the Battle Creek Northside Pilgrim Church. Under his leadership a building program was launched which resulted in a beautiful new Church. Much of the labor, especially the ina:onry, was done by Brother Witmer. Many days he labored 16 hours at his work.

He was a versatile and talented musician. He played several different instruments. He was also a good singer and a very able minister of the Word. His services were much in demand for re\ival work.

PILGRIM HOLINESS ADVOCATE

Death came suddenly April 18, 1963, in the hospital in Battle Creek. He had undergone surgery, and it appeared that he was well on his way to recovery. The funeral service was held at the Church of which he was pas-tor on April 20, 1963. The Church was filled to capacity. Most of the minis-ters of the Michigan Conference, and many from East Michigan, were in at-tendance.

The Reverend Clyde M. Marshall, District Superintendent of the Mich-igan Conference, brought the message. The Reverend A. C.

Youth President's Report To Reverend Emery, District Superintendent Marshall, Pastors, and

Delegates of the Ninth Annual Youth Conference of the Michigan District of the Pilgrim Holiness Church:

Greetings in the name of our Christ! I feel that we could well term this year one of great progress in

the District Youth Department. It has been wonderful for me to work in this important branch of our church. Our Youth are among the finest to be found anywhere. They have made my work much easier by their fine cooperation. I have done my best to work for their benefits in the District. I have tried to tak? a look into the future, and have made what I felt to be the right decisions.

I wish to express my sincere appreciation to Rev. Marshall, and the members of the District Council, for their whole-hearted support of the Youth program.

In August of last year it was my privilege to attend the General Youth Leader's Conference in Indianapolis, Indiana. It was at this meeting that we gained many new ideas. I was able to share the idea of promoting and organizing our Youth at regular camp. This was received with en-thusiasm by many of our District Leaders.

Youth Camp was a wonderful experience with a record attendance and most of the youth received spiritual help. I feel that we are helping to make some wonderful Pilgrims out of our youth at Youth Camp. We had one new class of music that was received very well, along with the Visual-Aids, Bible, and Handi-eraft classes. We should start making plans for two Youth Camps because of the lack of room in the present kitchen. Once again I thank all of you who helped to make Youth Camp such a wonderful success. I suggest that the age limit sjart at ten years if there are two Youth Camps.

—43—

We have a fine new multi-pavilion on our camp grounds. This was done by your efforts in gaining new talents in the District Youth Project. It was erected at a cost of about $3,000.00 to our Youth Department. Looking towards the lake you can see that much has been done to make a beach that will be usable for swimming.

I hope that we can continue to make progress and improvements on the camp grounds. We do need to make some definite improvements in the kitchen.

We had a wonderful Rally at Owosso this year with many hundred at-tending. This is surely a wonderful day for our Young People. Many of our Youth are now attending Owosso College because of these District Rallies. Please continue to encourage our Youth to attend our College at Owosso.

I hope that each one elected to an office will note that it is very important to attend the Youth Council meetings.

I cannot put in this report how I really feel about having the privilege of working with the District Youth. The District Youth Council has been a real blessing to work with. Rev. David Leamon has done a very fine job in organizing the Youth at regular camp.

I was saved in the first Youth Camp of Michigan, and now desire to do for the Youth of our District what was done for me.
