<TITLE>25. Par 32-32</TITLE>L-32 But then, the next day, 'course headlines in "The Houston Chronicle" and all said, "Ecclesiastical fur is going to fly." You know how the paper has to talk anything up. "Oh, I was challenging a debate with...?... and Doctor Best, and what he was going to do. And like that."
So he come down to... He said, "I'm going... He went and hired some commercial photographers of the American Photographer Association, and said, "Go down and take six glossies of me, while I go down and skin that old man. I'm going to skin him, and rub salt on his hide and tack it up on the door, as a memorial to Divine healing."
You imagine a Christian talking like that? I can't imagine a man borned again talking like that. I will tell you that. That's what it's going to be...?... Mr. Kipperman which is a Orthodox Jew, Mr. Ayers, a Roman Catholic, the two boys that worked in the studio. They come down and Mr. Ayers had said everything about me. A goiter left a woman's throat, standing there before. He said, "He hypnotized her." And oh, my, how he criticized me in the paper the day before.
So I come down that night, there brethren, there was thousands of them gathered, and that's when I realized what friends meant. They come from the east and the west, flew in by special planes, trains, and everything, coming to the rescue. It didn't make any difference then whether you was a church of God, Assembly, or who you was, the truth was at stake.
Brother, one day when the persecution comes, you'll see the great ransomed Church of God stick together like that, stone will go to stone. You'll forget whether your a Methodist, or Baptist, or whoever you are, when the persecution rises, and communism sets down, the Church of God will run together, stone by stone.
That Solomon cutting the temple, one stone was cut this way, and one cut that way, and all this way. But when they went to putting her together, she went placed in together like that, that made the Church of the living God. You're little differences will be all forgotten then.
There when one thing that all the Full Gospel people believed in Divine healing. They flew for as many as five and six hundred miles that day by planes and trains to get in. What was it? The thing that they believed in was at stake. And they're friend who had, that they believed, was standing there to face it. And there it was, they wanted to come see it through. Just take it with you. That's the way to do it. Hallelujah.
I'm a real Kentuckian. Together we stand, divided we fall. The way Christians, if ever one time we ought to stick together, is now. That's now.
