At General Assembly III in 1926, three standing boards were created. Which set lists exactly those boards in the original order?

• A. Missions Board, Board of Education, Publishing Committee
• B. Publishing Committee, Board of Education, Missions Board
• C. Board of Education, Missions Board, Publishing Committee
• D. Missions Board, Board of Education, Publishing Committee

Answer: (D)

At General Assembly III in 1926, the three standing boards were created in a sequence that matches the documented records. The first board established was the Missions Board, focused on coordinating evangelism and mission work. The next was the Board of Education, overseeing schools, ministerial training, and education within the church. The third was the Publishing Committee, set up to produce and manage church literature and materials. Because the minutes specify this exact order of creation, it is the correct sequence. Other sequences would conflict with the historical record, such as starting with the Publishing Committee or swapping the order of missions and education.
