Every church in the United States and Africa shall be entitled to
three delegates from each tabernacle to represent the church and
should any tabernacle be unable to represent herself with delegates,
she shall state the reason why in her first communication.
SECTION V.
Whenever a tabernacle is organized anywhere in the United States
it shall be subject to whatever rules the assembly shall adopt, an
Elder or Evangelist shall send a copy of the names of the members and
officers to the secretary of the Independent Church of God the Black
Jews of the United States, and the secretary shall inform the Bishop
or Bishops of the same.
SECTION VI.
Each tabernacle shall have one Elder and one Deacon, and the Elders
shall appoint his own assistant. There shall be three trustees to each
tabernacle, their duty shall be to look for a suitable place in which
to hold meetings, and to see after the money and property in general,
count the money at least every month and let the balances appear on
record.
SECTION VII.
The district assembly shall endeavor to furnish a copy of the minutes
of all proceedings from every assembly meeting as soon as they are
printed.
SECTION VIII.
When a question is brought before the assembly by any tabernacle, it
must be in writing and put in an envelope thus addressed “The Church
Communication,” and when it has been considered and settled upon the
word of God satisfactorily, it must so appear in the minutes.
SECTION IX.
No Elder shall be allowed to interfere with any tabernacle, but the
one of which he is pastor. If he should interfere, the Bishop shall
silence him for three months except an acknowledgment be made with the
agreement not to be guilty of the act any more.
SECTION X.
There shall no officer be removed from his station except a lawful
reason be given and the cause stated in writing. Any tabernacle
desiring to make a change in her pastor must write to the assembly. In
case the assembly is not in session, the church must write to one of
the Bishops.
SECTION XI.
Every member of each tabernacle shall bring his tithes if possible
on the first day of the week at the close of the Sabbath, as it is
written in, 1 Cor. 16; 1:2. Shall a man rob God? Mal. 3; 8:10:11,
and all the tithes Lev. 27; 20:32, Jesus said, “If ye are Abraham’s
children you will do the works of Abraham.” St. John 8:39. Don’t
forget God’s tithes if you want to prosper in this life and in the
life to come. For we must support the Gospel from the store house.
Mal. 3; 10, and if you love God you will also love his cause, and in
this way you will help God’s ministers to preach the gospel to every
creature throughout the world.
