<TITLE>03. Par 9-12</TITLE>L-9 Now, remember tomorrow afternoon. The Lord willing, we want to speak tomorrow afternoon of "Fundamentalism Versing Full Gospel." And come out, as many as can, and it's a preaching service. And I spoke on this once before at a convention. And I was asked to do it again, if the Lord willing. I don't know, but if He will.
And then tomorrow evening is the last service of the Phoenix campaign, and you come early. I'll try to let you out early so you can get back.

L-10 And as I come on down there, Billy was standing down there. Said, "Daddy, when they start singing and everything, it's hard to--to give the people their cards. And one will be over here calling and one over here." Said, "Tell them to come early."
About five-thirty, six o'clock get your sick out here so they can get a prayer card at five-thirty. If the Lord willing, he and the brethren will be giving out prayer cards here at five-thirty tomorrow afternoon, from five-thirty till about six-thirty, or six o'clock or somewhere along there till they get the prayer cards given out. So be sure to remember that.

L-11 And now, let's put our every effort... Tomorrow afternoon, I believe they announced that it's a missionary offering, tomorrow afternoon. I never have anything to do with the money.
There's been three things that I have tried to keep away from all my life. And that's... One thing is money. That's one of the things that ruins a minister is money. When you get your eyes on money, you've got it off of God. That's right.
Brother Moore, here, and Brother Brown has been with me all along. And if I ever heard of anybody in my meeting ever making one pull or straining for any money, or anything... Just pass the collection plate. When the Lord won't supply my needs, then it's time for me to go home. But the Lord will supply. And if I can't trust Him for--for money, how can I trust Him for healing? How can I trust Him for anything else? See? I've got to trust Him.
And so, I... We just pass the collection plate. And if we don't get enough to pay, then at the end of the service, when my campaigns over, they take up a love offering. I'm sorry they have to do that. If I had any other way of making a living, I wouldn't permit it. But I got three children and a wife and a lot of expensives. My expensives runs me about a hundred dollars a day, whether I'm preaching or whether I'm not.

L-12 So, it's a... My office affair at Jeffersonville, several work in the office, and letters and stamps and so forth, runs me about a hundred dollars a day. And some of the brethren, I suppose, they're...
I was hearing Mr. Billy Graham just on his broadcast alone is a thousand dollars a minute. That's for broadcast. How about the rest of the campaign, and the television? I wonder how much it costs to run that campaign?
But if somebody would happen to say, "Well, you watch these fellows come in preaching Divine healing, and they're just taking the money from the people." What about that? See? What's good for the goose is for the gander, you know. So that's--that's just right.
So look at that, a thousand a minute for just a broadcast. See? All right. That's perfectly all right, no criticism to that, understand, not a bit. The man needs it. God bless those who are helping him to do it. But just have to look at both sides of it, you know. As the man was...?... said, "That was very good, but there's some more to it." You see? So that is right.
