<TITLE>16. Par 60-63</TITLE>L-60 So I said, "I'll fix him." And I took him down to the creek and stuck him down in the water. I said, "I'll drown him or he will walk." I stuck him down, and just two or three bubbles come up. He just hunched right in his shell. You can baptize them face forward, backward three times, four times, upside down, sprinkle them, whatever you want to. They're still a sinner. But, brother, I got me a piece of paper and kindle a little fire and set it on him. Boy, he really went then. That's right.
What we need today is a old-time pouring out of the baptism of the Holy Ghost and Fire. That'll move the church when nothing else will touch it. You believe it? Get some Fire in the church.
The trouble of it is we put it all in the furnace and took it off the altar. Amen. Yes, sir.

L-61 I could see John back there now when, or Zacharias. As soon as the baby was born, here come forth and he spoke and prophesied and said what would take place. We know what kind of a child must this be. All the regions was wondering what kind of a child this must be.
And Zacharias prophesied. So did his mother prophesy at his birth. About nine years old, he never went over to some cemetery, or seminary. You know, I always make a mistake there, because they're so much alike I can't hardly tell them apart. A cemetery and a seminary is both dead places. All right.

L-62 Brother, we don't need to know theology today. We want kneeology today is what we need to be born again. That's right. The simplicity of the Gospel...
Always felt so sorry for a incubator chicken. A little old incubator chicken is hatched out. He just chirp, chirp, chirp and ain't got no mammy to go to. Puts me in the mind of seminary preacher that knows no more about God than a Hottentot knows about Egyptian knight, no but learn theology and read a whole lot off a piece of paper. I'd rather have a man that didn't know his ABC's and could preach the Bible under the power of the Holy Ghost than all the theology you could poke down his throat in ten years. Hallelujah.
Whew. What am I feeling this way about? Look. Amen. Yes, sir. What we need today is what? Is a new cleaning up in the church. Don't you believe that?

L-63 It's just almost... When mating seasons come, the first thing you know birds go out and build their nests. They make a--a nest up in the tree. They take all their eggs and lay them, and the old mother bird sets over them, and she warms them, hatches them, goes away. But now, if that mother bird hasn't been in contact with the male bird... The germ of life comes from the male sex. We know that.
A hen can lay an egg, but if she hasn't been with the male bird, it'll never hatch. That's right. Germ comes from the male, and just like birds. You can take an old mother bird, if she hasn't been with the male bird and she can make a nest, lay a nice nest full of big, round eggs. And she can set there and hover them and warm them and get so poor she can't even fly off the nest, and them eggs will lay right in there and rot. That's right. They'll never hatch, because they're not fertile.
