"God is opening the way before us, and we expect many outside organizations to be present with
us at Chicago. We expect that the holiness ranks will now together and become one mighty army to
push the gospel of a full salvation. It is not the multitude of people, but the kind of people we are,
which tells. Thus, we must have perfect love and self-abnegation. We should be a people filled with
the thrilling, anointing power of the Holy Ghost, and be all aglow with the love of God.
"I rejoice that the great body of our people have stood firm to the real experience for which we
stand. If we have the impulse of an indwelling Christ, we shall hand-pick the hungry hearts and lead
them to God. This is the highest evangelism of the twentieth century. We are here to make centers
of fire, and God will open the way and give us the victory."
Rev. R. Pierce was elected as secretary. He chose Brother Fred C. Epperson as his assistant.
About one hundred lay and ministerial delegates answered to their names.
Among other business transacted by this Assembly, was the adoption of resolutions providing for
the institution of a campmeeting within the bounds of the District, to be arranged for by a committee
of three pastors and two laymen, with the District Superintendent as chairman. Rev. C. V. La
Fontaine was elected unanimously as District Superintendent. The reports of the various committees
and pastors showed the work to be in a healthy, aggressive condition. There were frequent
downpourings of precious spiritual anointings, and the hours given especially to prayer and praise
were times of victory. The sermon by Rev. L. H. Humphreys, the ordination service and altar
gathering, were all crowned with holy triumph.
