<TITLE>12. Par 49-52</TITLE>L-49 This little old girl started across hollering, "Tootle-dee, doodle-dee," and when this... She said she was going to have some kind of an barn swing dance, or something or other, and she got down there to the radio, and she sort of twisted...?... to the radio. So excited she didn't even know I was at the door. She said, "Tootle-loo, honey. I'll see you out there tonight."
And I thought, "Yep, you'll be there. No doubt at all. You'll be there."
And she walked over she said...?... floor hollering, you know, like she was dancing. She said, "Oh, excuse me." She said, "I just love to dance so well."
I said, "I noticed it."
And she said--she said, "Oh, I just love it."
I said, "I--I believe that." I said, "Here's your change." And I went on back, and I was coming down a pole.

L-50 Doctor Brown came... Of another great church. He said, "Billy, I just wonder." Said, "I--I had so many people comes to my church, and I had them to sign a card that they'd promise to come to my church at least Sunday school six months out of the year, till I sent out five hundred cards. How many do you think responded this Sunday? "
Said, "I don't know."
Said, "Two."
I told him that story. I said, "Do you think that Mr. Clayton...?... will ever have to make that women sign a card to be out there to that old barn dance tonight?" No, sir, 'cause in her heart is a spirit that feeds on that. And if a man's borned of God, when the church bell rings, you can't stay away from it. There's something on the inside of you that calls out, the deep speaking to the deep. You've got to go. Amen. You've got to get right here, brother. And if that spirit in there is still worshipping the world, the love of God's not even in you.

L-51 If it hates the world and loves God, you don't have to sign a card to go to church and make pledges. You'll be there when the door opens. You can't stay away from it. Something on the inside of you pulling you. You just can't help from coming. That's right. It's something that takes place in here. It's a birth. And that's what the church needs today. Until that old carnal Adam, Adamic nature is killed in the man, he's still a sinner. He might go to church ever so often. He might put his name on the book. As long as those things are in him, he's still out of line with God. Amen. I feel pretty good.
Look. I want to tell you something, brother. Cain and Abel back there in the beginning, there come Cain up, and he worshipped with God, knelt down on his knees. Oh, my. He had all these lilies running around like Easter we'll have.

L-52 People will spend literally millions of dollars across the country to put lilies on the altar to decorate the altar. God don't want the lily on the altar. He wants you on the altar. God don't care about the lily. You're the one. The altar wasn't made for a lily. It was made for you. And all you have and all you are; you ought to place yourself on the altar and say, "God, here am I." Amen.
That's what we need. That's what this Palm Beach needs this afternoon. Not a new mayor, not a new police force, it needs a good, old fashion Saint Paul's revival and the Bible Holy Ghost back into the churches, and you men and women getting right with God. Then you'll see signs and wonders flying like a sparks on a anvil. If you'd only get that started. Brother, until you do it, we're lost and we'll never be able to have a revival.
