<TITLE>02. Par 10-15</TITLE>L-10 Said he started down the street, and he begin to think, "What if something would happen to me before I'd get back home, or what if something would happen to her before I'd get back, God would call us off the scene; and as good a woman as she's been, and how sweet she is, and so forth?" And said, farther he got, the more swelling his heart begin.
So he just turned and run back, opened up the gate, run in the house, opened up the door. And when he opened up the door, he heard something crying. Looked around, she was standing behind the door. Said he never said, "Forgive me," he never said, "I apologize." He never said nothing. Said he just grabbed her and kissed her again, turned around and walked back out. Said he got out to the gate, said she was standing at the door again. He said, "Bye." And she said, "Bye," said, just like she did the first time, but the last time had a feeling in it.
So that's the way it is. When it's got a feeling in it (You see?), that it's really something from God...

L-13 Now, in the nomination a few moments ago of a new trustee, Brother Sothmann... I'm sure that the trustees, and all, are aware now that at the end of fiscal year in first of January, that all offices of the church, such as pastors and deacons, and so forth, expires. Then if they want to continue on... Not pastors; I didn't mean that. I meant trustees, and deacons, and Sunday school teachers, and so forth, they... The pastor is elected in by the church, and he stays until, until. And then--then they... If the people, the present board of trustees, or deacons, or Sunday school teachers, or whatmore, if they want to continue on, they just continue on. If they don't, then they have--they have to resign if they don't want to continue on; and there is nothing again' them. Then they continue on for the next year. And--and then if they do not continue on, then they have an election, and appoint some other trustee, or--or whatever the office was.

L-14 Therefore, it doesn't pin a man down to his lifetime to serve on a board. But as long as he feels that God is with him and helping him, and he wants to do his part, or her part, whatever it might be to continue on with the work of God, we are always happy to have them to serve with us. See? But that way it gives a person a chance to serve for a year and see how they like it. Some of our trustees stay on for years and years and years, and deacons also, and that's perfectly fine. But then there's no set time. If the trustee, or pastor, or someone on the board doesn't feel that they can serve any longer, or moving out, then they just notify the church, that they can get somebody in their place.

L-15 And that's what taken place here with tonight, with the Brother Morgan, Brother William Morgan resigning as trustee. They needed another trustee. And Brother Sothmann was appointed as trustee in another time, and then was tonight received on the board.
It's official, as long as the church. In our church, it's the sovereignty of the church. The church moves, or puts in the trustee, the church moves the pastor, or puts in the pastor, whatever it is, it is the church in all. That's apostolic. That's the way it was did in the Bible time. Therefore, we feel that no one person then is a dictator or something in the church. We don't want that. Every man, every person, myself, in voting in anyone, has just got one vote, just like any other person of the church here, just one vote. It isn't what I say; it's what the church says (See?) what the church says in the body. You like that? Oh, I think that's just Scriptural. That's the way it should be.
