Princess Ida Lee Childs, Spiritual Leader of the Universal Hagar’s Spiritual Church, made her transition into the spirit world on yesterday, Friday, May 11, 2007. When a righteous saint leaves this world, it is both a somber and joyous occasion.

I must admit that I did not agree with all her decisions as President of the Wisemen Board, however some things I can see more clearly now. Tough choices must be made in leadership. This is just one lesson Princess Childs leaves with the U.H.S.C. We must be moved and led by the Spirit of God, and not by committee. We must obey the sweet voice within.

This great woman of God taught me a variety of lessons that I will elaborate on in future articles and sermons such as, “Pay Yourself First”, “What’s Yours is Yours”, “You Must Give Your Life to God”. Princess Childs, at least to me, emphasized the need to find the practical lessons of Christ’s teachings. Without finding the practical lessons, religion becomes a useless exercise.

The greatest gift Princess Childs gave me was ministerial ordination. Ordaining a 20 year old was a great risk. Many young people, even those with greater potential than mine, have turned their backs on God. By ordaining me, she showed her faith in the spirit over the flesh. On several occasions I thought about giving up the ministry. But when that evil thought came, I could feel Princess Childs’ hands on my head. I could feel her virtue, her sincerity, her faith, her will, her strength, her spirit, her drive, her determination, going throughout my body. Every cell, quickened by the inspiration of the Holy Spirit. Praise God! Hallelujah!

Father Hurley said in one article, “I see the perversion coming.” He was referring to a future time when his doctrine would be perverted, that is changed. However, he said the unborn generation would rectify the situation, and bring the U.H.S.C. back on track.

Princess Childs fought to keep the doctrine as pure as possible. If any “perversion” happened under her leadership, it was not done purposely. She encouraged the youth, the unborn generation, to stay involved. I can still hear her saying to me, “You must give your life to God.”

Princess Childs: I love you. We disagreed on some issues Princess. There is one issue I know we agreed on: Father Hurley is who he said that he is, and he can do what he said he can do. Farewell obedient servant, take your deserved rest! Amen. Amen. Amen.

I have the honor to be your obedient servant,
Reverend George Hubert Latimer-Knight
