<TITLE>04. Par 34-40</TITLE>L-34 You know, old Buddy Robinson, many of you has heard of him. Haven't you, the Nazarene church? He said, "Lord," said "give me a backbone like a saw log. Give me lots of knowledge in the gable end of my soul. And let me fight the devil as long as I got one tooth, and then gum him till I die." I think that's a good... And that's just what he did. That's just what he did; way, nearly a hundred years old, and still preaching the Gospel.
I hear them old veterans preaching like that. The other day, I happened to turn on the radio, and an old brother, by the name of Mordecai F. Hamm, around a hundred years old, still preaching the Gospel. I said, "God, bless him, and may he have stars in his crown when he gets there." Brother Hamm, I just barely know him. One of these days I want to meet him before he crosses over, the land. And so he can shake hands with a lot of folks over there. I know he will have plenty to shake hands with when he gets there, though, because he's been an old veteran.
The Lord bless you now. And now, before we enter into this Word, let's ask the Author to come down and reveal It to us.

L-37 Our kind heavenly Father, we approach Thee tonight, in that lovely, magnificent Name of Thy Son Jesus, confessing our sins, that we are not worthy to speak His holy Name. For in... All the family of heaven is named "Jesus." All the family on earth is named "Jesus." And in that Name every knee shall bow, and every tongue shall confess to It, whether they be sinners or saints. Then when we speak in His Name, how we should be quivering in our hearts with reverence, as we speak. So we ask in His Name, reverently, that You will come to us tonight, Lord.
We're here in the midst of a great city, with all kinds of devices that Satan has got the people so bound up in their businesses, in his gambling, in prostitution, whiskey, and cigarettes. And O God, and many ministers in the pulpit just let it pass by as if it was just one of the common things.
But, God, give us the voice of warning, that we'll preach the Gospel straight and true, lay the axe to the root of the tree, and let the chips fall wherever it will be. But help us, Lord, to pronounce judgment upon such things and preach the Gospel of Thy dear Son, Jesus.

L-40 God, grant something to take place that'll shake this city for the Kingdom of God. That, even the churches, that's just going along on the corners with a few members, O God, may them churches fill up and pack out with good, old fashion, saintly people, borned again. Grant it, Lord. And may we receive a revival, an old fashion, God-sent revival that'll just shake from one side of the city to the other, getting rid of all the meanness. O God, don't give us a protractive meeting. Give us a revival that'll close up bootleg joints, and that'll get things right, and make people come when the church bell rings, and flock to the altar, and pray before the pastor's message, and be ready. God, grant it.
Now, tonight there may be sick here, Father. And while we're speaking on the sick, or for the sick also, may the Holy Spirit heal every sick person in the building. Save every sinner. Call back home every backslider from his wayward way.
And now, may the Holy Spirit be the One that has guided me to this subject tonight. And may He take the things of God and just use His servant here as an instrument, and may God receive glory. For we ask it in His Name. Amen.
