Member Letter 3/29/57

[Regarding Feast of Tabernacles plans]  ONE PARTING POINT! It seems God's people sometimes GET CARELESS,  and nearly every year, we have to hear of some accident that has occurred, which INJURES someone who is a member of God's own flock!  BRETHREN—DON'T LET THIS HAPPEN AGAIN THIS YEAR! I call upon all  of you in the name of Jesus Christ, as God's Apostle, and your  Minister, BE CAREFUL!

Good News magazine  June-July 1958    (Herman Hoeh)

GOVERNMENT in Our Church

... How plain it is that GOD rules our Church. The congregations are ruled by the elders, who are ruled by the evangelists, and they are ruled by  the apostle who is ruled by Christ who is ruled by God! All offices are appointive, by a superior office. It is government from GOD down to each individual member in the Church.
