<TITLE>13. Par 49-52</TITLE>L-49 I remember in... Finishing my story about mama giving us all a bath, scrub our ears... Had an old meal sack towel. I don't know whether you ever seen one or not, and pull some of the threads out, you know. Oh how rough, she'd rub the hide off of me nearly.
And then the next thing she'd do, after she did that, every one of the kids, get ready: A little bit of coffee stirred up like that with a spoonful of castor oil. Had to take it every Saturday night, so be ready to go to school Sunday morning. Keep cold away, acid--acifidity ball hanging down like this, you know, and a flannel piece on your undershirt. I don't know whether you ever had one or not, but that's the way we was raised.
And I took so much castor oil, I can't even look at the stuff no more. I tell you, I just can't stand the smell of it. It gags me. And when I'd come to mama, I'd say, "Oh, mama, please, please." I'd hold my nose, like that, and gag just as hard as I could. I said, "Mama, it makes me so sick."
She said, "If it don't make you right good and sick, it don't do you no good."

L-50 That's what I'm meaning tonight. If this don't stir you up a little bit about letting your hair grow, and acting a little different, and getting off this borderlines, I want it to make you real sick at your stomach so you'll stir up your spiritual gastronomics, so you can be ready...?... Amen. If it don't make you right sick, it won't do you any good. You see? Amen. It'll open up your heart so the Holy Ghost can come in, clear out the channels and fix you up. Amen.

L-51 Notice. How wonderful. God said if they'd cross over the border, He would give it to them, but they didn't want to do it. So they started wandering, going away, getting out, shifting around. The Bible said, "Be not tossed about by every wind of doctrine, but be stable." Amen.
I believe if a man ever come in contact with Christ, all devils out of hell will never make him deny it again. If you just imagine you got there, it's something different. But, you know, no matter how much disfigured I'll ever be, I'm a human (That's right.), 'cause I was born a human. If you ever get Christ in your heart, you're a Christian; you're a son of God, a daughter of God. Makes you act different, look different, walk different, talk different, associate in different parties. Amen.
Oh, yes, it separates you. The world wants mixers, but God want separators. That's right. Amen.

L-52 Notice, how beautiful. And while they were out wandering around (that's where they got into all kinds of trouble), and the devil seen to it that they got an old backslidden preacher to come preach to them. That's right. His name was Bishop Balaam. Amen. Oh, yes, he was there. You know what he done? He got them all mixed up in marriage and divorce cases. That's what the devil done, the same thing. Amen. Hallelujah.
I seen a preacher the other day had four wives, living wives, said, "I don't know what's the matter with my church."
I said, "You oughtn't to have to look very far." Amen.
