<TITLE>11. Par 120-128</TITLE>L-120 You know, people have things in common. You know, people who love the Lord, they like to go to church, because they--they have things in common. They--they... We have common grounds for things. We come here because we're all believers in this--this way of worship. We believe in Divine healing; that's the reason you bring your sick here. You don't go to places they don't believe in Divine healing to--to get healed. You go to places where they believe in Divine healing. And we believe in worshipping the Lord in the Spirit. And that's why you come here, is because we have... It's fellowship.

L-121 Now, as I've often said, just like you take a little bitty girl, and she follows grandma around all the time. Better watch. There's something wrong there. There's too much difference in their age. One is a little six-year-old, and the other one seventy. There's something wrong. Now, she might be grandma's pet (You see?), so that might be. Or, maybe grandma might have a pocketful of candy, you know. So there's something, the reason that little girl... Because why? She won't play with the children; she just follows grandma. There's something--something curious about it, 'cause little children has things with little children. Little children play with little children. The Bible speaks of that in Isaiah, little children playing in the streets.

L-122 Now, you take in Germany there. I seen the little Americans and the little Germans, all of them, playing together. The little German would be rattling off German, the little American speaking English, but they played together. They were children. They had things in common.
Young women have things in common. They associate with young women. They talk about their boyfriends and--and different things. They--they associate with one another. The middle age, they have their things in common.
The old people have their things in common. You take the--the older women, they speak of, about the older women. They have things in common that they talk about.

L-125 And we have different clubs, like the Kiwanis, for instance. The Kiwanis, the men of the city, they meet together and talk together. They have things in common they're interested in, in the social affair of the city. They want to know how they could make it a--a better place, and how they can feed the poor, and so forth (You see?), so they--they have a meeting place. They have things in common. They want to talk about these things, subjects that they wish to talk on.
As mama used to say back there, she used to say, "Birds of a feather flock together." That--that's a whole lot of truth in that. See? You take...
You don't see buzzards and--and doves having any fellowship. They scatter from one another, quickly. Why? They haven't got nothing to talk on. Now, a buzzard could talk to a buzzard about an old dead carcass somewhere.

L-128 And that's like sinners. They talk about big dances and parties they're going to, buzzards, so they--they like to talk about those things. But a dove can't. He ain't interested in--in that old dead carcass; let it lay over there. My, he can't stand the smell of it. He gets away from it. See? That's the way. Christians talk about wholesome things and good things; and sinners talk about dirty things, and ornery things, and sing ornery songs.
And even, it's so much disgraceful in our America here, till even the people over there want to know what kind of women we got in this country. Said, "All of our songs are dirty songs about our women. Have you got any nice ones over here?"
And a certain organization had a convention there. Paper wrote it up, while I was there. And they had to make the young ladies put their jackets over their legs, so they could take their pictures, to keep from disgracing the picture, the paper: wearing shorts, in a great religious organization of ours, come to Germany. My. Buzzards, that's right. Birds of a feather flock together. It's too bad, but it's the truth.
