<TITLE>24. Par 215-223</TITLE>L-215 While you have your heads bowed, I know that there's a brother come down here this morning, Brother Slink (I believe they called him "Sink, Jim Sink"), who I believe to be, that our brethren has recognized to be a teacher of this Word. Isn't that right, Brother Sink? We're to lay hands on him this morning just before we pray for the sick, to ordain him a minister, one of our brothers, to go out to the churches to preach the Gospel.
Brother Jim Sink, will you come up here to the altar? Come, Brother Neville. Brother Junie Jackson, are you here? Any of the other ministers of this faith?

L-217 Brother Jim Sink here believes in this Gospel that we preach, the Son of God, to believe that He is truly the virgin-born Son of God. Is that right, Brother Sink? You believe that He died and rose again the third day, triumphed over everything, and setting at the right hand of God, in the center of God's power on high, ever living to make intercessions for us? You believe in the water baptism in the Name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins? You believe in the baptism of the Holy Spirit just as God will give It, with signs and wonders to follow the believer? He believes that. And I believe he had a life that's unreproachable before the people. He preaches here at the church, often for them here, and I find out, a wonderful man of God.

L-218 Now, to this church, is there any word in here, any man that's got a contrary word against Brother Sink? Say it now or forever hold your peace. How many believes that with the preaching of this Message and this Word, that Brother Sink, and you believe that by the witness of the Holy Spirit, that Brother Sink should be ordained and sent from this church here as a minister of the Gospel to proclaim these Messages like has been preached this morning, to everywhere that he can go in the world the Lord will send him? Raise your hands and say, "I will be praying for you, Brother Sink." God bless you.

L-219 Let us bow our heads. Brother Neville, would you lay your hands on Brother Sink while you lay your hand on the Bible.
Our heavenly Father, we bring to You this morning a man that has been brought up out of the corruption of this world, has reckoned himself dead to himself, and has accepted Christ as Saviour, been baptized into the Name of Jesus Christ, raised up with the promise of receiving the Holy Ghost, and now in heavenly places, and feels a call on his life to the ministry.
O God, as elders of this church, as the assembly and the general overseers and so forth to watch the flock of which the Holy Ghost has made us a carer for, the flock raising their hand that knowing that Brother Sink, that he's a just man, we therefore lay our hands upon him, as--Brother Neville and I, as Your elders. And by this we pray the prayer of faith and ordain Brother Jim Sink into the ministry of Jesus Christ. Grant it. May he be filled with the power of God. May he never compromise. May he win souls to You.
And, God, we pledge our loyalty and brotherhood to him, to back him up wherever he is, in prayer, and in help, and any way we can. Receive him, O God, as we present him to You, in the Name of Jesus Christ, the Son of God. Amen. Amen.

L-223 With your hands upon the Word, and there, my Brother Sink, I ordain you a brother in Christ and our fellowship, in the Name of Jesus Christ. Amen. God bless you. All right. And the congregation said, "Amen." [Congregation says, "Amen."--Ed.] God bless you. There's much to do in the Gospel, badly needed. We are behind you one hundred percent with everything that we can do to help. God bless you.
Isn't He wonderful to be a... Oh, my. I like to see men... That's fine. He's... As I understand now, He's taking over the pastoral of the Holiness Tabernacle at Utica, Indiana, to which he lives not far from there.
