I know he started the church in Houlton and they had a plywood mill there. He worked in the mill and they had workers from both sides of the border as I recall.

Harvey told this man to never, never, never, never touch the veneer when the blade was moving. Down the blade came, and the veneer was warped in the machine. The apprentice went to straighten (hope no dinner being eaten) and whoomp! all four fingers. So they took the young man to the hospital and while there, the doctor stated. "It is a shame I don't have those fingers here." "Oh I have them in my pocket," was the reply. He had wrapped them in a hankerchief. As I recall the story the young man recovered.

See now dearie, there are some advantages to being an octogenarian.

White haired? No! It's impossible!

I checked with the President of ACOP of Canada, Wes Mills about the quote from Tom Fudge's book. This is his reply;

"ACOP was founded by Franklin Small who clearly had a Oneness view of the Godhead. The Evangelical Churches of Pentecost had a tri-une view of the Godhead.

When the two groups merged in 1953, there was a tacit agreement that both views of the Godhead would be accepted according to the convictions of the individual members.

The statement in our Statement of Faith that deals with the Godhead is very carefully worded so that it is acceptable to both those with Oneness and Tri-une positions.

We do not identify ourselves as a “Oneness group” because we accept varying views on the Godhead."

Being from Maine myself, I have very fond memories of Bro. Howe. He and his family were always at Peacove Family Camp each summer. I know his son David better than I knew Elder Bro. Howe himself.

Was this an NB based org? In post #159 I told how my Father-in-law related how in many fellowship meetings you never knew before you got there who was preaching and many times the preacher wound up being a Trinity believer. This would have been in the 50's as my wife was born in 1961.
