Um...well...8...what? I'm probably too young to know what that is.

My dad had a 70 GTO with an aftermarket 8 track, but they were already on their way out.

Does anyone know how I can get a copy of this sermon?
Anyone there when he preached it?

It was Landmark - I had a cassette of the sermon, not sure if I still do or not. I don't know about Yadon encouraging people not to sign the AS, but he did delve into the Haney history and why the current UPCI's Superintendent's mother wore jewelry (necklace).

An elder of that time told me that he also remembers when sister Price wore a pearl necklace.

I don't remember ever seeing this in our old pictures but I do have pictures of my parents in which my mother wore what would be considered by most a jewlery.

I believe that the UPCI book called the "Winds of God" commented that their women all wore their best jewelry, as that was how they dressed up for church! It was not until later that the Holiness movement begin to catch on.

Yes, Sis. Goss was explaining how you should look your best when going out to witness to the lost.

In the early years of the Pentecostal movement a group of workers would go into an area and preach. They would go with no church invitation and no financial backing. They felt like they had a message to preach and that God would supply their needs. Their message was salvation, sanctification, healing, and the baptism of the Holy Spirit. It was called the Apostolic Faith even though it had nothing to do with later teaching on Oneness and baptism in Jesus' Name. Later it would be referred to by some as Full Gospel. Some times they could afford a building to hold meetings in and some times even a separate place to stay. Finances and food came in by the grace of God.

On page 69 of The Winds of God the author talks about the way they dressed which is in marked contrast to the way some of the preachers preach about standards, clothing, jewelry, etc today. Years ago we used to refer to this as "clothes line preaching." Now I guess it's just considered preaching on standards.

"We did not wear uniforms. The lady workers dressed in the current fashions of the day, ...silks...satins...jewels or whatever they happened to possess. They were very smartly turned out, so that they made an impressive appearance on the streets where a large part of our work was conducted in the early years.

"It was not until long after, when former Holiness preachers had become part of us, that strict plainness of dress began to be taught.

"Although Entire Sanctification was preached at the beginning of the Movement, it was from a Wesleyan viewpoint, and had in it very little of the later Holiness Movement characteristics. Nothing was ever said about apparel, for everyone was so taken up with the Lord that mode of dress seemingly never occurred to any of us."

Hey Dave,

You know better, of course.

This elder is someone you know. I may have misheard.

I know a relative of his so I can ask her. I have a copy of a sermon he preached called: "The Gifts Our Parents Didn't Know They Gave Us". It was awesome. I'll let you know.

Daniel,

The better message that he told me was more an issue than his landmark message was preached on a Wednesday night at CLC. It was a message on grace and living in liberty. The next day in a class on Romans Daniel Segraves told the class if they missed church they needed to get a copy of the message because it was the best message on grace he had heard. I can't recall the title maybe someone else can help me with that.

I do remember one line in there where he said people want the preacher to tell them where to go and where not to go, what to watch what not to watch, etc. He liked to say people of faith don't need a rule book.

Dannie Odle preached a message during the same period in a chapel service title Leave my externals alone, and made reference to some of the stupid things in the manual.

Loren Yadon was sacrificed to hush the UC plain and simple.
