<TITLE>02. Par 6-11</TITLE>L-6 So we couldn't make the payment on something, and I said to my wife, "I'm going to take up an offering."
She said, "I'm going to watch you."
So I went over to the church. Now, they would do it. They was very happy to do it, but I just never asked them.
So that night, I remember old Brother Wisehart... Many of you folks here from the tabernacle remember him. He's in glory today; he's an elderly man.
I said, "I'm going to take an offering, would someone get my hat?"
So my wife thought, "Well, he's really going to do it, I believe."

L-7 So they got my hat. I looked down, setting in front of me there was a little lady setting there with one of them little checkered aprons, you know. Poor old thing, she'd been a real support and prayer to the church. And she pulled this little apron up, one side, and was reached down under to the underneath pocket, and got a little pocketbook that's got no snaps on top. She pulled it out, begin to pour out those nickels and things. Um, I couldn't take that.
Brother Wisehart had got my hat and was looking at me. I said, "Just a minute, Brother Wisehart," I said, "I was just a kidding about that. I didn't really mean that."

L-8 So... There's an old man setting over here with a white beard and long white hair. He had rode a bicycle down there some time before. And he's an old friend of mine up around Benton Harbor. And he had a--he give me this bicycle.
So I had it over there. And so I went and got the old bicycle and painted it up and fixed it a little bit and sold it for ten dollars. And I didn't have to take that offering after all. And God supplied my needs just the same. So it's kindly hard.
Brother Ryan, I sure remember that bicycle. That's it, just at the right time.

L-9 It's very warm. I was thinking this afternoon I was going to speak on a subject of "The Journey," but I just kinda changed my mind since I come in here. It's awfully hot; I won't keep you long, just speak a little bit. They tell us the heat wave's going to break after today. So we hope so. And maybe next Sunday, or sometime this week, I'll take that same subject, because I want to get it to you.

L-10 I said last night here that I might tell you today "Why I Am a Holy-roller." Would you like to know why I'm a holy-roller? I'll try to tell you from the Word of the Lord.
And you know, I've done a lot of traveling for our Lord Jesus, I seen many denominational churches. But you know, I've never seen a holy-roller yet. I--I really don't know what--where they're at. I looked all over the church lists and the statistics and everything, I can't find where there's a church called holy-rollers.
But you know what it is? It's just a name the devil pinned on the Church; that's all. There is no holy-roller. I've never seen one. I--the government don't know of any. So well, I--I don't know where they're at, but I... Just think, there's the devil just did that.

L-11 I want to read some out of the book of Jude. It's a very short book, and it's got twenty-five verses. That's all there is to it. I wish to read this.
Just before I do, I never finished my thought. During time of these services like this, I'm under a very much of a nervous strain; anyone knows that, especially when visions are seen.
You're living in two worlds at the same time. You're in a dimension that the world knows nothing about; there's no way to explain it. And you--you're always kinda nervous and at a strain. The longer the meeting goes, the worse it gets. And so it makes it pretty bad.
