A good soldier of the cross wears God's armor and uses His equipment. He stated that the shield of faith, even though we march under sealed orders, gives us courage to press on regardless of the cost. People may reject you and may spurn your message but you must preach the Word and you must go to war

with peace in your hearts.

CONFERENCE REPORTS To Dr. P. W. Thomas, General Superintendent of the Pilgrim Holiness

Church, Members of the District Council, Delegates and friends of the forty-ninth Conference of the Pennsylvania-New Jersey District of the Pilgrim Holi-ness Church.

One year ago you elected me as your superintendent. My election came as a surprise, perhaps to you, as well as to me. I need not tell you that I brought to the task a very limited knowledge of the District, of its problems and person-nel. Some of you I had not met and, with a few exceptions, I did not know where the churches were located. I have, I'm sure, asked the same questions

again and again.

You have, however, received me with kindness and consideration. You have been more than generous in overlooking my blunders and inadequacies. I have received much better treatment than I deserve. I thank you.

It is customary, in such reports, to make reference to the difficult days in which we find ourselves. I will forego this, because I know that you are as well infcrmed as I about these conditions. Sometimes our attention is called to the conditions of the church world; this too, I will pass by, chiefly because such references often lead to comparisons which leave us feeling slightly su-perior by comparison, and that is a dangerous feeling to a christian.

Frankly, my fellow Pilgrims, I am not primarily concerned about the dif-

ficult days, or what other religious groups may, or •may not be doing. I am concerned about our relationship to the times and what we of the Pa-New Jersey District are, or are not doing to meet the need. For let us never forget that whatever the world condition may be, the task of the church is unchang-ed — 'to present every man perfect in Christ Jesus."

The Pilgrim Holiness Church in general, and the Pennsylvania-New Jersey District in particular, have as much right to exist as any group on earth if, and this is the crux of the matter, if, we lay ourselves out to find and accom-plish that redemptive purpose as revealed in Christ and the word. To do this we must disentangle ourselves from secondary purposes, good though they may be, and give ourselves to our supreme task — the bringing of men and women to Jesus Christ and building them up in truth and Holiness. This is our task.

It is not too much to say that the church is on trial before God and man. "Judgment must begin in the house of God." This is no time to be guided by sentiment or prejudice. In a real sense we must all give a reason for the hope that is in us. Self preservation is no valid reason for existence. Nor can we justify our existence by our differentness. Different we must be, as christians, but it must always be differentness for a purpose.

I have said little during the past year about any specific program. Part of this neglect is perhaps due to my own temperament. This is not, however, because I do not think such programs are necesary; it is because, for the pres-


ent at least, it is my deep conviction that our greatest need is for a clarification of, and dedication to, our essential purpose. What are we about? Why do we exist? Where have we been? Where are we going?

It is my conviction that many of our problems arise because we live on a day by day basis — extemporizing — hesitating — compromising. Many of our difficulties could be met if we would chart a clear course and then hold to it --come what may.

It is understandably difficult for me to give any kind of objective evalua-tion of the gains or losses of the past year. If there have been any gains they belong to the noble men who have preceded me in this office. For any losses I will take the responsibility. However, I do feel that there has been progress in many areas of the work. The morale of our preachers is, if I can discern it, generally high. I believe we are more Christ conscious than problem conscious. There is a growing concern among our people for spiritual outreach and per-sonal evangelism. There is, I believe, a deepening feeling that we need each other weaknesses and all. I trust that we are growing in christian charity and compassion. You will forgive me if I at least trust that this is so.

The District Missionary thrust has converged upon Wilkes-Barre and

State College. In Wilkes-Barre, Brother James Long is ministering to a com-

munity where the spiritual need is great and where effective spiritual work is

far from easy; but he is doing an effective work there, and the influence of the

work is growing. From practically nothing, he has, in a year and a half, de-veloped a Sunday School of about fifty, and a morning worship service of that

number or more.

About two months ago the Home Missionary Board, with the District Coun-cil, asked Brother Arthur Merrill to move to State College to give leadership to the work. I need not tell you that the challenge of this University city is tremendous. Already there have been real gains, numerically and financially. We can and must have a vital work in this center. It is planned — as the way is cleared — to erect a building there which can serve as both a parsonage and church.

During the year building projects have been either completed, or are in the

process of completion, in the following places — Bridgeton New Jersey, Bush

Hollow, Muncy, Glen Iron, Highland, Lock Haven, Millville, Mt. Union, Port

Ann, Muir, Shillington and Williamsport. Some of these projects involve exten-sive remodeling or redecoration. Much work has gone into these projects,

both by pastor and people. If I have omitted any project, I beg your indulgence.

OUR GIVING

I would commend you for your giving, both to District and General inter-ets. Pa.-New Jersey ranked second in the entire church in giving to general interests, including World Missions — with a total of over forty-seven thousand dollars. We paid 67.7 of our United Stewardship Fund. This is above the aver-age, but we must strive to increase the percentage. If each church would con-tribute to this need, the amount could be increased.


OUR LOSSES

Sister Anna Smith, who was an ordained minister and pastor in the District for many years, passed to her reward. Her faithful service Will be remembered.

IN APPRECIATION

Brother Edward Crosser is retiring from the pastorate at this conference.

Our brother has faithfully proclaimed the gospel of Christ for many years, has served a number of pastorates on the District and has served in varying capa-cities. He and his faithful wife have also given to the church an able son, who

has just succeeded to the superintendent of the Arizona District. There is much good preaching in our brother yet, and I trust you will avail yourselves

of his services.

I would express my deep appreciation to the men who have served on the District Council during the Year. If I am ever in serious trouble I would hope

to fall into the hands of such considerate and compassionate christian gentle-men. Rev. Leonard Drury, the Assistant Superintendent, has been of great en-couragement and assistance to me. He is a gracious christian brother.

PERSONAL REPORT

During the year I have preached approximately 180 times, held 70 board

meetings, made 95 church calls, held 2 installation services, participated in the Youth Leaders Conferences, held 2 dedication services, preached in 2 camp meetings and 6 revivals and week-end meetings, held 7 or 8 council meetings, attended the Church Leaders Conference at Indianapolis, held 10 annual meet-ings, and had more personal conferences and interviews than I kept record of. Yes, I did dedicate some of the cutest babies you ever saw, and to my ever-lasting shame forgot to dedicate one of the sweetest of all. I have received both my salary and traveling expenses in full. After deducting my traveling ex-penses, I have received approximately $550 for camp meetings and revival services. I have traveled some 40,000 miles in the service of the church.

A WORD ABOUT THE FUTURE

There are a few suggestions I would make for the days ahead, whoever may be called to execute them. The first is, that there must be found ways to bring both pastors and people into a closer fellowship. Ours is a large District, geographically, and we cover a wide variety of backgrounds and perspectives. We must know each other better. We need each other.

At the suggestion of the Youth Council, the District Council, and the Board of Bethany Camp, I would suggest that Bethany be made the center of our youth camp, as well as other District activities.

I would like to suggest the possibility of having the ministerial meeting in the Fall, when it will evenly divide the church year, and will also avoid coming so close to the Lecture series at E.P.C.

Finally, I would like to sound a call to a daring, adventurous faith. Let us take whatever risks are necessary to reach the souls of men with a message


of redeeming love. Let us be less concerned about preserving the past than about serving God in the present. Let us pray and believe for real revival. Let us close ranks against the powers of darkness, and let us bring to the battle every

weapon in the arsenal of God. It will not be easy, but it must be done.

Your brother,

J. R. MITCHELL

ASSISTANT DISTRICT SUPERINTENDENT'S REPORT Mr. Chairman, delegates to the Forty-ninth Annual Conference of the Penn-

Jersey District of the Pilgrim Holiness Church, I hereby submit this report to this Conference:

To the best of my ability I have served in this capacity under the capable leadership of our beloved District Supt. Rev. J. R. Mitchel:l.

He has called me on several occasions to assist him in his work when he was ill and when the burdens of the District work called him elsewhere.

I have conducted four or five annual meetings, traveled to a number of

other churches in the interest of the District work, attended all except one of

the Council meetings, served as chairman of the board of directors of your college — Eastern Pilgrim, and pastored the church at Stroudsburg, Pa.

I count it a real privilege to be a Pilgrim. The church owes me nothing — I owe the Lord my all and the Pilgrim Church which has been so good to me my wholehearted support and cooperation.

Respectfully submitted,

L. W. DRURY

REPORT OF PROMOTIONAL SECRETARY

OF SUNDAY SCHOOLS

To the Forty-ninth Annual Conference of the Pennsylvania-New Jersey Dist-rict of The Pilgrim Holiness Church, Sunday School Greetings:

By the Help of God and the untiring efforts of a dedicated group of Sun-

day School Officers and Teachers, we are able to report another good year for the Sunday Schools of our District. For some it has been a year of unprece-dented growth and expansion breaking all past records. For others numerical growth was not the crowning achievement but rather a spiritual and organiza-tional improvement which will increase their efficiency and bear fruit in days

to come.

The highlight of the year was the Second National Sunday School Conven-tion, during August, on the Campus of Eastern Pilgrim College. We were espe-cially favored in having the convention so near home so that more of our work-ers could attend, The instruction and inspiration, which such a meeting pro-duces, should stir us to greater exploits for our God.

Statistically, our average attendance of 4,389 this year, gives us a gain of 105 over our average of 4,284 last year. This is a very small gain and frankly is not what it should be, (averaging less than 2 for each church,) in view of our expanding facilities and the tremendous population increases. We must aim higher and work harder if we are to reach, for Christ and the church, our

share of those around us.

The award for the Highest Numerical gain will be awarded to the Jersey Shore Sunday School with a gain of 25, an increase of 26% over last year's av-erage. Our sincere congratulaJtions to Rev. L. W. Zehner and his Sunday

School Staff.

The award for the Largest Percentage gain will be awarded to our Home Missionary Church at Wilkes-Barre. A numerical gain of 23 which represents a 115% increase in average attendance, has been achieved by Rev. James Long and his fine people, during the past year.

Special recognition is due our Good pastor Rev. Thelma Parker and the Sunday School at Millville for taking second place both numerically, a gain of

23, and in percentage, a gain of 67%. Congralulations to you.

The following will receive ribbons representing a gain of at least 5% in average attendance this year:

Church Church

Wilkes-Barre 115% 23 gain Port Matilda 22% 10 gain MilIville 67% 23 gain Allentown 21% 16 gain 'rackville 54% 13 gain Muncy 13% 12 gain

The Sunday School of the Year, in our District, is our Home Missionary Sunday School at Wilkes-Barre. Under the capable leadership of Rev. James Long the Sunday School there has developed a well rounded program, as revealed in the Decade of Progress report sent in. A score of 15,940 points entitles them to this Trophy which will be presented to them, at the close of my report, by our General Superintendent. The following hold second, third

and fourth place in the Decade of Progress contest this year: Lock Haven -

13,935, Jersey Shore - 13,685, and Wiiliamsport - 12,380. The District Picture, in the contest which has begun the third year, places Cherryville first with

27,720 points, Port Matilda second with 26,960 points, and Wilkes-Barre third with 22,160 points. It is not too late for you to join in the Decade of Progress contest, simply fill out the report blank and send it to your prmotional secre-tary when you get home.

Twenty three of our schools are cooperating in the Standard of Excellence program. This report, prepared by the General Sunday School Department at the request of the Lasit General Conference, is the basic standard of measure-ment for Pilgrim Sunday Schools. If used it will help you, your district, and your General Sunday School department, evaluate the work being done, over-come the weak points in your organizational set up, and see where you are going. Our aim is to have 100% cooperation in the district. Appropriate certifi-

cates will be presented to the following participating schools:

Allenwood Hyde Milton Stoning1ton

Augustaville Jersey Shore Muir Sunbury

Bridge'ton Lebanon North Rome Wilkes-Barre

Cherryville Lehighton Pine Grove Williamsport

Erma Lock Haven Port Ann York

Glassboro Miliville Port Matilda

My personal report; It was my happy privilege to attend the annual session of the Sunday School and Youth Leaders Meeting held at Eastern Pilgrim Col-lege. I also participated in the Second National Sunday School Convention, erecting a district booth and acting as convention treasurer. I have to the best of my ability cooperated with both the District and General Sunday School Program. It has been a real pleasure to have served as your secretary in com-piling 'the records and preparing the sunday school page of the District News. My keen desire is to please God and see Bigger, Better Pilgrim Sunday Schools in the Penn-Jersey District.

Respectfully submitted,

P. W. BRAISTED

DISTRICT HOME MISSIONARY REPORT

To General Superintendent, Dr. P. W. Thomas, and members of the Forty-ninth Annual Conference of the Pennsylvania-New Jersey District. Greetings.

During the year the Committee met three times to discuss the needs of the fields which came under their concern. At the beginning of the year there were four churches, namely Levittown, Calvary, Hanover and Wilkes-Barre, which were receiving help from the District Home missionary funds. At the close of


this year Calvary and Levittown are assuming all their own obligations. The other two churches still need some assistance, but it is on a sliding scale and we are hopeful that they will be entirely self sustaining in approximately two

years. Another church, namely, State College, has been given special help this year and will be continued this year on the same basis as the other churches so that they will assume their entire local obligations as soon as possible. A new building is being planned for this church.

The monies raised in the various zones will be applied to the assistance given the churches in each respective zone.

Respectively submitted,

A. L. JACKSON

District Home Missionary Secretary

being used and insisted upon by the churches,

THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that a form of procedure for the call-ing of pastors be established as follows to serve as a guide for the future:

SEVENTH ANNUAL

DISTRICT YOUTH CONFERENCE The 7th Annual District Youth Conference of the Pennsylvania-New

Jersey District of the Pilgrim Holiness Church, convened in Rees Hall, on the Campus of Eastern Pilgrim College, Allentown, Penna., on June 2, 1962, at 10:00 am., at the call of the District Youth President, the Rev. John F.

Wiktorchik.

The Youth President led the Conference in singing a hymn entitled "Glory to His Name." The congregation stood as District Superintendent

Mitchell led in prayer.

The Rev. John F. Wiktorchik then presented Rev. J. D. Abbott, General

Secretary of Sunday Schools and Youth in the Pilgrim Holiness Church.

Our General spoke encouragingly of the steady increase in the attendance

of our District Youth Conference and then emphasized that the Youth De-partment must find an important place in our calendar of activities.

Rev. Abbott sited us to the tremendous potential of Youth and the church's obligation to fulfill its mission of helping to develop this potential. With evi-dent conviction, the General stated that any preacher that has no interest in youth, would do well to quit immediately. He further stated that since it is fatal to lose youth to the church and that the church can not get along without

them, that we are responsible to win all the youth we can.

Emphasis was made of our youth being needed in the four following ways:

1. SPIRITUALLY — The speaker pointed out that they are needed not only in the youth services, but their spiritual qualities are needed in the Morning Worship, the evening evangelistic and the prayer meetings.

2. STEWARDSHIP — their possession of talent and ability proves to

be a blessing to the church.

3. VISION'S SAKE — Youth believes that things can be done. They are willing to try and often accomplish what their predecessors have failed to do. Youth are needed to freshen our outlook.

4. COURAGE — They are willing to undertake those things which are very difficult. Even tho at times they are unpredictable, they are the most important segment of the church.

The General interrogated, 'What is the church's attitude toward this important group and what is the church's mission?" He stated the following:

1. TO HELP YOUTH BUILD A MORAL AND RELIGIOUS FOUN-DATION FOR LIVING. The speaker stated that since they need convic-tions and stamina to carry them out, the church must have a plan by which it operates, in fulfilling this need.


2. TO GUIDE THEM IN A MORAL AND RELIGIOUS RESPONSI-BILITY. The church must be available to help youth in fulfilling their calls and opportunities. The church should produce spiritual workers by helping youth to find themselves in the task that is theirs.

3. TO RELATE RELIGION AND BIBLE TEACHING TO PRESENT DAY LIVING. We must enable our youth to see that what we believe makes sense. We must have an answer for what we believe and if our beliefs can not be related, something is wrong.

4. TO HELP THEM FEND THEIR OCCUPATION FOR THE TO-. MORROWS. This can be done by prayer, counsel and help along the way.

5. TO GUIDE OUR YOUTH IN THEIR MARRIAGE CONSIDERA-

TIONS. The chair pointed out that tho this may be considered lightly by some, it is a responsible task.

6. TO HAVE TRAINED LEADERS ON THE LOCAL FRONT. He advised one leadership program a year, for the entire church. We have a marvelous opportunity. It bolsters the church to launch out and reach new young people.

His closing concern was that we may see and save more youth to Christ, the Pilgrim Holiness Church, the Pa.-New Jersey District and to our local

churches.

The chair then requested the roll call. Upon its completion, the Confer-ence bar was established. It was moved and seconded that the projection room

of Rees Hall be the conference bar. Carried.

A motion was made and seconded that the hours for this Youth Confer-ence be from 10 o'clock to 12 noon for the first sitting and from 1:30 to 4:00

for the afternoon sitting. Motion carried.

The chair then called for the report of the District Youth President. Edwin Lindsey and Malcolm Murphy were designated as ushers to distribute the President's report. During his report awards were given for the Pilgrim Youth News Contest winners. Lock Haven was the numerical winner and Williamsport the percentage winner. The chairman stated that the Lock Haven society was also the national winner. Bdth of these societies were given a hand. The president then completed his report and it was accepted

by carried motion.

The report of the District Youth Treasurer was read and accepted by

motion.

We then prepared to hear the Zone Leader's reports. The chair suggested that these reports be given in written form, to the secretary and he shall place them on file with the District President's report.

The next consideration was the local Presidents' reports. Before they were completed, the time for the morning sitting expired. A motion was made and seconded that we move the afternoon sitting to Calvary Pilgrim, Beth-

lehem, Penna. Carried.

We were adjourned by carried motion.


The Rev. J. D. Abbott closed with prayer.

The afternoon sitting was opened by standing and singing "Every day with Jesus." Rev. John Wiktorchik led the singing while Mrs. Doris Wiktor-chik accompanied at the piano. The Rev. Robert D. Addington petitioned

God in behalf of the afternoon sitting.

The Youth President then presented Rev. J. D. Abbot to the conference. He then called for an establishment of the conference bar. A motion was made and seconded that the first ten rows of the auditorium comprise the

conference bar. Carried.

The chair introduced 'the Rev. Melvin Dieter, president of Eastern Pu-grim College, who in turn spoke appropriate words welcoming the confer-

ence to the College. The President urged the youth leaders to maintain a hearty interest in the college. It was moved and supported that Rev. Melvin

Dieter be given an honorary 5ea4 in the conference bar. Motion carried.

It was moved and seconded that we begin the afternoon sitting by caring

for the election of officers. Carried.

Tellers and ushers were appointed in the persons of Rev. Alvin Jackson, Mr. Max Hile, Mr. Paul Hans and Mr. Charles Siebert.

We then proceeded to vote for the office of District Youth Presidenit. Rev. John Wiktorchik was re-elected on the first ballot, receiving 66 out of

77 votes cast. A speech was requested and he complied.

Our next consideration was for the office of District Youth Vice Presi-dent. Robert D. Addington was re-elected on the first ballot receiving 57 out of 79 votes cast. A speech was requested and given.

Rev. Robert N. Campbell was re-elected on the first ballot, for District

Youth Treasurer, receiving 60 out of 79 votes cast. A speech was requested

and given.

We then proceeded to vote for the office of District Youth Secretary. Rev. D. J. Wooten was re-elected on the first ballot with 61 out of 80 votes cast. A speech was requested and given.

Our next consideration was the election of Zone Leaders. Delegates from their respective zones produced the following elections:

BALI) EAGLE — Rev. Leroy Fetterolf

UPPER SUSQUEHANNA — Mr. Clinton Hall

CENTRAL SUSQUEHANNA — Rev. Earl Heckman

LOWER SUSQUEHANNA — Rev. Leroy Wion

LEHIGH — Rev. Earl Wilson

GARDEN STATE — Rev. William Derr

A motion was made and seconded that the Conference cast a ballot to elect a Zone Leader for the Lower Susquehanna zone. Motion was lost.

It was moved and seconded that the Lehigh Zone Chairman shall reach a decision as to the place where the zone rallies will be held. Carried.


Our next consideration was the resolutions. It was suggested that they all be read and then considered individually.

Resolution no. 1 was re-read, moved, seconded and carried.

Resolution no. 2 was re-read, moved, seconded and carried.

Resolution no. 3 we re-read, moved, seconded and carried.

We then considered the resolutions of Ways and Means.

Resolution no. 1 was read, moved, seconded and carried.




The chair then referred us back to the Local Youth Presidents reports. Four society presidents reported and because of the brevity of the remaining time, others did not report. The Conference gave a hand to those not getting to report.

It was moved and seconded that the District Youth Council be authorized to approve the minutes of this Conference, prior to publication. Carried.

Resolution no. 4 was then read, moved, seconded and carried.



The General Secretary of Sunday Schools and Youth, the Rev. J. D. Abbot, stated that it was a privilege for him to be with us and in his closing remarks, pushed subscriptions 'to the Youth News.
