<TITLE>07. Par 26-29</TITLE>L-26 This girl got real sick. They called the doctor, and the doctor could nothing for her. She had a social disease, and it was too far. Nothing could be done, four-plus, run out.
So well, all of her little class gathered in to see the Angels come down and pack her home. Now, this is true. They was going to take her home, and the Angels to come. So they was all gathering around, singing songs--her pastor, walking up-and-down the floor outside in a hall with a cigarette in a holder, walking back and forth, up-and-down, waiting for the last minute to come for the girl.
And she was all ready. Done had her hair fixed and things for her funeral and everything was laying there waiting, and death struck her. When death struck her, agony begin to come, and she began to said, "I'm lost. I'm lost." Instead of Angels coming, she was lost. She said, "Where is that girl from the Tabernacle? Call her." Lucille McCortney, I hope her people's not... If she was setting here, it's all right. Said, "Where is Lucille McCortney? Get her to me at once."
All the girls run and got the pastor. Said, "We'll go get the pastor."

L-27 They run him in there. He come in and said, "Now, here, here."
She said, "I'm lost. I'm--I'm--I'm lost."
Oh, he said, "I'll call the doctor and give you a hypo." Said, "You're getting delirious."
She said, "You deceiver of man." She said, "I'm lost and going to hell, and you're the cause of it." She said, "Tell that girl I said, 'Come here.'"
They sent after Lucille, but she didn't get there. Her girl died, and when they went--Mr. Perkins went to embalm the body, put the tubes in, said he kept pumping fluid--a young lady--and they noticed the fluid. He put a gallon or more, and the fluid kept going away and come to find out they opened up, a big hole done eat in her that big: syphilitic. She was gone.

L-28 Now, brother, let me tell you something. I say if the preacher behind the pulpit would've stayed with the old fashion Gospel, and God kept the thing straight, we wouldn't have so much of this juvenile delinquency, and everything else that we got today, and the trouble that we got. God still looks down upon that.
And how can you preach Divine healing and the power of God, when you associate with such as that? You can't do it. Oil and water won't mix. That's right. It's got to be one way or the other. Now, that--now, I'm not a legalist, and I'm not this, that. I am a legalist, and I'm not a legalist; I--I'm a Christian. That's right. See? And I'm not taking sides, but I'm telling what the Gospel says.

L-29 And look. It's too bad that the church has lost their vision of the resurrected power of Jesus Christ, where He said--in the old days when He appeared to them, and give visions, and understanding. He does the same today.
Reminds me of a little case of a very noted man was healed just recently. And how many ever heard of Congressman Upshaw's healing? Many of you have in here.
Congressman Willie D. Upshaw... It happened in California not long ago. We was having the meeting, and my brother had come and got me. And I was late that night, and so he had knocked on the door several times, and went back out, and got him a malted milk, and come back in. He knocked at the door again, and he knowed I was in prayer. There was something going on. I couldn't get a... Just like they was awhile ago.
So then I--I come to the service, walked up. Thousands of people were packed in there. We'd been there four or five days and so they... I guess as I come to the platform there was something struck. I looked out across the place. I said, "I see..."
