History - Blessed Old Bible Hour

[rgcraig]

Last week while I was at my dad's house recouping. We found some old artifacts from the Bible Hour Tabernacle (my home church) and I brought them home to scan and share with you guys.

The first General Conferece (PCI) was held here in 1944.

Sincere and dedicated to serving the Lord and leading souls to Christ. That is what these saints were.

From the looks of the ladies in the pictures, it doesn't look like they were taught that they had to wear their hair "up" on their heads. Looks like they wore it down like many women did back then.

A couple of comments:

I notice they show a picture of a PCI conference back before the time of the merger and the development of the UPC. Also that they show a Willliam Branham meeting and a Little David meeting. William Branham preached in Oneness churches for a while when he was first starting out. Little David preached in Cincinnati many years ago. He was managed by Bro. Hoeckstra who was a pastor in Indianapolis, IN. That church was later pastored by Natan Urshan until he left to become Gen. Supt. of the UPC.
