The General Conference in Nashville was over except for the unveiling of the publication – IPHC Experience -- that would replace the Advocate as the official organ of the IPHC.
Dr. Morgan and I were standing close to the large “mock-up” that represented the twenty-six page, “slick copy” that would continue to connect the IPHC family. After Bishop Leggett finished the official presentation and unveiling of the front page of the IPHC Experience, he came over to where we were standing. Dr. Morgan congratulated Bishop Leggett on the new publication and said, “Now that we have this full color very attractive magazine, I guess I no longer need to do Hugh’s News and Commentary.” Bishop Leggett quickly turned toward Dr. Morgan and said, “Hugh Holmes Morgan, you shall do no such thing. Without Hugh’s News I wouldn’t know what is going on in the IPHC.”
The IPHC Experience publication lasted only a short while – Hugh’s News and Commentary continues. Over the years Dr. Morgan has expanded the scope of his News to include guest writers who speak to the issues of the day along with a running report of the “happenings” in the IPHC and beyond . . .
How does one calculate the value of Hugh’s News? I’ve known Dr. Morgan since 1964 and he says I’m his best friend in the known world. Really, I think everyone is his best friend – he knows more people in the IPHC than I can count. It is easy to see that Dr. Morgan takes his responsibility as Editor of Hugh’s News as a sacred charge. I talk with him almost weekly (since Miss Melvine has moved into the Father’s House it’s several times a week) and his next issue of his “Hugh’s News” is always part of our conversation.
Janice and I have been privileged to be supporters of this vital ministry since its inception. Now it’s my privilege to invite you to give to this important ministry. This month of July is quickly drawing to a close, and your contribution is needed now. Dr. Morgan takes no salary, but there are expenses – you need to know that. IF everyone reading this would give a special offering, the need would be met. I’ve already given my annual contribution, but I can’t ask you to give if I don’t. Dr. Morgan, the check is in the mail . . .
