Mystery Solved: George L. Glass Sr.

A while back, TimLan wrote where he was pretty sure that George L. Glass Sr. was originally PCI.

I talked with George L. Glass Jr. tonight at a funeral visitation. He said that his dad was indeed part of the leadership of the PCI when they merged with the PAJC in 1945. He said that his dad was involved in the missions dept. from the get-go of the UPCI.

He also said that his dad told him late in his life that he never told anyone that they were going to hell if they hadn't received the Holy Ghost! In essence, he was a one stepper! Basically, George L. Glass Sr. went along with everybody to keep the peace. In his own church, it was taught differently!

Re: Mystery Solved: George L. Glass Sr.

Was this Sybil's visitation?

I was already pretty sure he felt this way.

Yes! Bro. Cleveland Becton was there too, as he was her brother.

I also ran into George Lee! His personality hasn't changed a bit thru the years! Great guy! He still looks good, although there are a few less hairs!

Where was this funeral at? I would have loved to have seen George Lee and his daddy.

I heard that George Lee's wife is beautiful and he is bald!!!!!

"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."

George Lee's wife is indeed beautiful, and he is not bald! His hair is getting much thinner though, and (like me) has has a bald spot in the back!

The funeral is this afternoon (Wednesday) at Christ Church. George Lee is a pall bearer.

Kenneth and Wanda Phillips are out of the Alexandira church.

Geo. Glass Sr. was a strong N.B. proponent but allowed that a person might be saved by repentance and being baptized in the name of Jesus as a minimum requirement. He never let this be known since he was very strong N.B. in all of his preaching.

From my conversation with George L. Glass Jr., I believe you are correct!
