DISTRICT SUPERINTENDENT'S REPORT

To the Oklahoma District Assembly, convened at Hopeton, 0km-home, July 22, 1941, I submit the following report of my labors for the past year:

This has been a good year on the district. It has been a time of fellowship arid unification of objectives. In October, Brother Wolfe


made a trip over the district and in February Brother Surbrook was with us in a ministerial convention. Both these General men were a great blessing to us. We feel the Oklahoma District is in the best condition spiritually, and in fellowship among ministers and laymen, and in business methods since we have been on the field.

Our churches are doing well. God has given good revivals in all our churches. All departments of the church are receiving propor-tionate consideration in giving. Pleasant View and Hopeton have redecorated their churches. Fairvie\v ceiled and papered the walls which means much to them. Newkirk has been working on a paint job which when finished will lift a note cf $200 on their church. Blackwell is raising a building fund.

Last fall Brother Klassen, with the Sand Creek people, got under a burden to establish a church in Pond Creek. They were able to buy the old legion hail for $175. They borrowed some more money and went to work remodeling. Brcther Klassen has done well at Pond Creek and God is blessing their labors. They have reduced their in-debtedness to $120 at the close of the year.

In November wife and I held a home missionary meeting at Devine, Tonas. This meeting was held during a cold spell which cut attendance. However, we were able to organize with 12 members. We predict a good future for the Devine work inasmuch as there are nc other Holiness churches in the Medina Valley.

In June we pitched the district tent in Tonkawa. Brother M. M. Conrad did the preaching during part of this meeting. This was a hard. fought battle. Indifference seemed to be an obstacle we could not overcome. Bills were placed in nearly every house in town and. calls were made and people expressed appreciation of the services but would not come regularly enough to get a (loop interest in their own salvation. The results of this meeting will have to await the judgment.

We have another home missionary meeting planned for this fall. We recommend to this assembly our present method of home

missionar financing which is the district home missionary offering and evangelistic home missionary offering.

In January Texas became a district to itself. This we feel will be to the mutual benefit of both distiicts. Previously the distance required in travel handicapped both proper supervision and develop-ment of the field. We predict a future for Texas as it goes under its own leadership.

September 16 we will have been on the district 5 years. We had at that time in Oklahoma 3 churches supporting pastors with a membership of 116 in the three churches. The property valuation was $7,898, indebtedness of $698, equity of $7,200; our present property valuation is $12,750, indebtedness $720, equity $12,030.

The past year we have traveled 8385 miles in district work and received $167.02 mileage, $68.77 of this was from Brother Wolfe. We have attended 1 General Board meeting in Indianapolis and 3 Bible School Board meetings. Last August we did deputation work for the general church visiting the Owosso, Mich., Springfield, Ohio, and Frankfort, md., camps in the interest of General Home Mis-sions. We have made 77 visits and business meetinas in the churches on the district. We have received for stationery $17.94, salary from the district $420. general church $480, and from the Blackwell church $335.34. The fellowship of pastors and churches have been blessed and we appreciate the cooperation of every one in helping to carry out the program of the General Church and District Assembly.

Respectfully submitted, D. R. CLOSE, District Superintendent.

MEMORIALS TO THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY

Whereas there is a need in some of our Home Missionary Dis-tricts for wider representation on the District Council,

Be it resolved, that when a district reaches 200 in membership, or when the Secretary of Home Missions deems advisable, that 2 additional members in advisory capacity be elected by the district assembly to the district council. These members shall be subject to the approval of and directly amenable to the committee of home missions as the other members of the council. "Oklahoma District."

2. Whereas there is need in our manual for clarification in regard to disposal of church property especially whei a church has become disorganized,

Be it resolved, that where a church becomes disorganized any church property which shall exist may in no way be diverted to other purposes, but shall pass to the control of the District Assembly for the use of said district, as the district assembly shall direct. Any trustees holding property for the disorganized local church shall sell or dispose of the same only on the order and under the direction of the appointed agent of the District Assembly, and turn the funds over to such agent.

No board of trustees or church board may divert property away from the Pilgrim Holiness Church. "Oklahoma District."

3. Whereas there should be a knowledge of the ability of the District Treasurer by the District Assembly,

Be it resolved, that the District Council and Superintendent act as a nominating committee, to nominate not more than 3 for said office. The District Assembly to vote for a Treasurer from said nominations. "Oklahoma District."
