<TITLE>03. Par 9-11</TITLE>L-9 And how could I take your money, which many of you need, maybe, to use for your little children, of shoes and so forth, and food for the table, and spend it for something, that wouldn't be right. God hold me responsible for that. And when I want to be a good steward. And I'll spend the money. I think the last love offering was two hundred and something dollars, and I'll do the very best that I know how to spend your money that you've given me for the Kingdom of God, everything that I know how. I trust it'll be that way on that day when we meet up there.
Now, some of you give us some oranges and some grapefruit. One brother sent us a box of shells, and a little lamps and things to take home, many little things like that. My boy told me someone give him a little special offering of a check awhile ago. Sent one... Another fellow sent one in to make up the expenses. God seen every bit of that. He knows right where it... Many of you'd like to do it and you can't do it. God sees that just the same (See?); He knows.

L-10 And the ushers... And to this, the police, not the police but the sheriff, deputy sheriff, I was with he and another man the other day, and such a fine man. Ushers, to all of you, my you've just been wonderful to me, and we appreciate it. I'm saying this for Brother Bosworth and I, and my son. To Brother Vell, Vayle, and I met another Brother Heights, one of the sponsors, and all of you, you were so kind. And some of you ministers who's let your congregation come, maybe you wasn't in cooperation because they never asked for it, I don't think, they just... except these two little churches. I come down here this week, probably this coming week, is right here in Birmingham, Alabama, with a guarantee of fifteen thousand people the first night to come. Angelus Temple's been calling, telegramming, everything, said, "Why, they couldn't even put the people around the place."
Another great organization in there wanted to take the rose, or the bowl there, where they play football, and put it in on television, the time that I come down here. But I felt that God wanted me to come down here (See?), that's why I come. I come down here to keep from going there.

L-11 Great crowds don't attract me. What I want to know is what God wants me to do. Is to preach to one person or one million is just the same. See? I wouldn't do any different. I'd do just the best that I could. And I feel then, that I'd be pleasing Him. So God bless you.
And now, I want you to be sure that you get this just right. Now, there are handkerchiefs, many of you are laying here. I pray over handkerchiefs by the thousands. Now, if you did not get your handkerchief here, well, just send--just send and ask me for one, I'll send it to you. Now, I'm not saying that... There's so many a radio programs, and things today, where they're just trying to get your address, just so you can write in. God knows better then that. I don't... That's not it. I don't write back to people no more than just answer them back; that's true. And I think that doing that, your own pastor needs every bit of support, your own church, that you can give. See? It isn't that. We never ask people for one penny of money through the mail or nothing. We just send it all out free, and God takes care of every bit of it. And so you're always welcome.
