When he was General Overseer, Zeno C. Tharp from Florida, published a small book. It contains some excellent historical notes which vividly illustrate how grass roots the COG was in it's earlier days.There are several quotes from Tharp, that in my opinion, illustrates how God used everyday (and by the world's standard, unqualified), people and raised them up to help move the COG forward in those days. Tharp wrote about the Call he received to preach. He said:I sold my hunting dogs and went into the ministry.If I remember correctly, and I welcome historians to double check, Tharp at one time served as President of Lee College. In his book, he wrote that Jesus did Speak In Tongues because when on the cross He exclaimed, Eli, Eli, Lama Sabachthani!
