<TITLE>01. Par 1-5</TITLE>53-1129A, The Faith That Was Once Delivered To The Saints, American Legion Hall, West Palm Beach, FL, 131 min
L-1 Good evening, friends. Good afternoon, rather. I always get that mixed up. In Kentucky this is evening. I hope there's no one here from Kentucky hearing me say that, but we're happy to be here in the service of the Lord Jesus Christ.
It's always a privilege to speak to people. I love to do that. There's not... [Blank.spot.on.tape--Ed.] Back in behind the stage, why, where this famous song was written. Paul Rader used to be the pastor there after Brother Rediger. I was standing back there, and it was right after service, and there's so many people around I couldn't get out, so they was just walking me around, back and forth in the building.
So they was a man came back there. He said, "Say, Brother Branham."
I said, "Yes, sir."
He said, "My, you have awful grammar."
I said, "Yes, sir. I know that."

L-2 And he said--he said, "You use some of the awfullest words." Said, "You really tear up the--the--the...?... English."
And I said, "Yes, sir." I said, "I'm aware of that."
He said, "Why, the people that you speak before," said, "you ought to be ashamed of that grammar."
I said, "I am, but it doesn't do me any good. I just don't know no better."
And he said... "Well," he said...
I said, "When I was a boy, my father died. I had ten children to take care of, and I had to work and support my mother and the children. Then since the Lord has sent me out, why, I have--haven't had a chance."
And he said, "Oh, that's no excuse now." Said, "You're a man." And he was using some real words. I didn't know what he was talking about. So he said, "Well, there's no excuse now." Said, "You ought to do better than that now."

L-3 I said, "Well," I said, "I'm just so busy praying for the sick people and things," I said, "I..."
Said, "You take a correspondence."
I said, "Well, that's true," but I said, "I just don't have the chance to do it."
He said, "The awfullest words." Said--said, "Here's one especially you made tonight." Said, "You said, 'All the people crossing this polpit now will...'" He said, "You should never say that."
"I don't see nothing wrong with it." I said, "What's wrong with crossing the polpit?"
He said, "Your congregation would appreciate you better if you said 'pulpit' not 'polpit.'"

L-4 I said, "Well, brother, I want to tell you what. That's all right." I said, "Them people don't care whether I say 'pulpit' or 'polpit.' They want me to live the right kind of life and produce what I'm talking about. That's what they're talking about." That's...?... I said, "None of them's so highly but what they'll understand what I'm saying. They'll make it out some way. They..."
That's--that's... So you excuse my--my grammar. It's not very good, but I... A lot of times in the Word... I--I love to talk about the Word. I don't know too much about it, but I--I like to talk about it. I'm--I know the Author of It real well, so that's the main part, isn't it? If I know the Author. So He's wonderful to me. He saved me by His grace, and I'm so happy about it today.

L-5 Usually on Sunday afternoon, it's given to me to--to speak and just preach or whatever seems good to do. So I'm not--not a preacher. I'm just kind of a, what you call, a spare tire. You know, you use that when you got a flat. We haven't got no flat now. So we... I was going to see where Dr. Vayle was. We haven't got--we haven't got no flat, but I'm still just a spare tire, just keep the...
Just to talk a little while on our Lord. I love Him and the afternoon services on Sunday usually is giving over to missionary affair, missionary offerings and so forth, that we get money together, and as soon as we get enough we go back overseas to the--to the people who are so desperately in need of Christ, who's has never heard of Him one time.
