L-1 His songs, they wouldn't buy them, they... And one day after being persecuted, fell down in his seat by his desk, and penned the inauguration song of the second coming of the Lord Jesus, when he wrote,
 All hail the pow'r of Jesus' Name!
 Let angels prostrate fall;
 Bring forth the royal diadem,
 And crown Him Lord of all.
And what a marvelous song. How that these poets and authors being inspired by God wrote this. William Cowper wrote.
 There is a fountain filled with Blood,
 Drawn from Immanuel's veins,
 When sinners plunge beneath the flood,
 Lose all their guilty stain.
 The dying thief rejoiced to see
 That fountain in his day;
 There may I, though vile as he,
 Wash all my sins away.
My, won't that be marvelous? I like this part of it.
 E'er since by faith I saw the stream
 Thy flowing wounds supply,
 Redeeming love has been my theme,
 And shall be till I die.
 Then in a nobler, sweeter song,
 I'll sing Thy power to save,
 When this poor, lisping, stammering tongue
 Lies silent in the grave.

L-2 My. Jesus, when He was here on earth, quoted the songs of David. How David, under the inspiration wrote the songs, which was prophecy.
You know, I've... always a sort of a timid sort of a person. This is a little something about myself. Monday night, so we can just let down our collars and talk a moment.
When I first seen the Full Gospel people and heard them clap their hands. And--and I thought, as a Baptist, "Now, they sure have some church members, don't--or, dignities anyhow." I thought, "My, that's horrible." And then to beat it all, here got somebody on the floor and started dancing up and down the floor. Oh, my. I just didn't understand.

L-3 One night I was having a meeting in my Tabernacle, and they was having a New Year's night watch in the Tabernacle. And I was teaching on the second coming Of Christ. And I had a blackboard up there, and I was drawing it all out the best that I knew how. How He would--would--He would descend that we may ascend into glory. And there was (I give a little intermission), and they was singing some songs while I was resting, for I had had about four and a half hours of teaching, straight. And they were singing a special. And they was some people come from Louisville, which was Full Gospel people. And they said they had a special. Some young ladies wanted to beat some little tin cans and things, and they had a washboard with some thimbles on it, or on their fingers. They was playing on this washboard, I guess you seen the hookup. And one was going to play the piano. And they started playing that song, "There's going to be a meeting in the air, in the sweet, sweet by and by. God's own Son will be the leading One at that meeting in the air." Oh, my.

L-4 That little lady turned real white around the mouth and begin to beat that piano. I believe if they'd have been three decks of keys, she'd played them every one. I never seen such playing in my life, and that lady on that washboard a hitting them thimbles. And a little blond-headed sister about so high, jumped out in the floor, and started dancing.
And I was setting right there in my Tabernacle, Baptist church. And I thought, "Oh, my, here it is." And I thought, "Now, how did... Why'd they have to do that?" So I--I waited, looked around at the people, and they looked up at me, and I looked around. I thought, "I'm a fundamentalist, you couldn't show me that in the Bible." And I thought, "My, it's..." There's just a whole lot things that a lot of us fundamentalist don't know it's in there; that's all.
