<TITLE>13. Par 29-32</TITLE>L-29 Then I noticed that fellow how he was standing there, how courageous, just as brave as he could be. I looked at him. I thought, "Well now, he ain't scared of that. He's scared of me." So I thought, "Boy, I won't hurt you. I admire you. Anything with that courage, I admire them."
I thought, "I will see if he's scared of me." And I--I said, "Say, you know I could shoot you?"
Looked over at me as if to say, "You think so?"
So I grabbed my rifle like that. He batted them big eyes. He looked at me again. He just kept his eyes right on me. I wondered, "Why don't he--why don't he get away? Why don't he fly?" Well, I kept... "Well, what makes you so brave?" And I happened to notice. I caught on. God showed me. Just keep looking at nature; you'll find Him. Just keep looking around there at something. You'll see Him.
I noticed him. He kept going like this with his wings. He was restless, them wings. I thought, "I see it, Lord. God, You gave him two wings." God gave that eagle wings, and he had confidence in the gift of God that had been given to him.

L-30 After while he got tired of looking at me there, so he just made one great big jump like that. And he made about two flops, and he was out into that timber. He never moved his wings another time. He just set his wings into the wind like that. And he just begin, every time a wave would come, it'd lift him up. And every time another wave would come, it'd lift him up. He wasn't patter-patter here and patter-patter there. He just let the air waves carry him on till he went plumb out of sight. I stood there and cried like a baby. I said, "O God, let me know how to set my wings in Your faith. Let the Holy Ghost waves carry me on, on, on, on and on. Hallelujah. Yes, sir.
He left that little old earth bound chatter, chatter here and chatter, chatter there. If we just knowed how to set our faith in God's power and move on out of here and let these people chatter, chatter, saying, "Days of miracles is past; there's no such a thing as Divine healing." Fly away from it. Hallelujah. Ride on every wave that comes. Just move up and raise up higher, higher. Just move out.

L-31 God is in His universe. He certainly is. I watched him till he got plumb out of sight, and I thought, "O, God, I... It's just good to be here. Let's build three tabernacles." Watching God in His universe, watch Him among His nature, seeing what He's doing. God's moving in His treetops.
David said one time, he was laying there, he was waiting. And he said he heard the wind blowing between the mulberry limbs, and he was ready to go on. I tell you: if there ever was a time we need a moving in nature and moving in men, is today. That's right.

L-32 Noticing Him. How He--He... One--one time, here not long ago, I come home. I was so tired, I couldn't hardly stand up. I'd been ministering and ministering to the people in Texas. I was so wore out. I come out and set on a little old swing that was in the side yard. And I happened to notice, there was some old sand cranes going, flying down like that, going on into the--the river, down to the falls. They all gather there at night.
I was talking to my wife, and up come my piano player, Mrs. Gibbs. She come up. She looked at me setting there. I was wore and lost about fifteen pounds of weight. And she just started crying, put something on my lap. I said, "Come on, Sister Gertie."
Said, "You--you look so bad, Brother Billy." And run out. I was setting there. My wife and I tore it open. And there I looked. It was a picture, at a window where the sea was right level with the window. And there was a ship coming in, and the sun going down, and a star coming out. And there was a poem.
 Sunset and the evening star,
 And one clear call for me;
 May there be no mourning at the bar,
 When I put out to sea. (You know the poem.)
