<TITLE>12. Par 51-52</TITLE>L-51 There they was tipping their glasses, and drinking, and--and going on, and saying, "Now, Pharisee Joseph, you know what? I'll tell you. The other day when we had that convention over there that the... Ha. Ha. Did you remember that?" Oh, them kind of things. "I'll tell you one about the Jones what he did over at the..." That's just about what the association talks about today when they come together.
I went to a meeting here not long ago of a great fine church, group of people, and twice as many people as setting here, where it was supposed to be for the spiritual benefit of the city. You know what they done? I--I was surprised they invited me. But when I--I went, you know what they done? In a famous denominational church they said, "Now, we haven't got one of the best, but we've got the best fiddler and the best guitar player in the country."
I thought, "Well, that's fine. We'll see what they play."
You know what they played? God's my Judge. They played: "Turkey In The Straw," behind the pulpit at a ministerial gathering. Oh, my.
Now, he said, "We got the famous quartet from a famous church in a city just above. And they're going to sing for us." You know what they sang? "Home On The Range." That don't belong in church. What's the matter with the people today?
Then I got to the floor and they throwed me out. I said, "Shame on you, the spiritual leaders of the country here and play, "Turkey In The Straw," behind the pulpit. No wonder you hate me. No wonder you don't believe in Divine healing. You can't. You ain't got nothing to believe with. I said, "What you need to clean up here is a old fashion altar call and you bunch of preachers around the altar getting right with God."
He knocked on the desk like that and said, "Set down. Set down."
I said, "I've got the floor now." And they throwed me out. I got to say what was right anyhow. It'll go to judgment with them anyhow. Certainly. Yes, sir.

L-52 What we need today is a cleaning up, the house of God get ready for an entertainment of the Holy Spirit, the power of the Lord Jesus. We've asked, and begged, and pleaded, and then turn Him out when He comes. Amen. It's true. What a pity.
There set Jesus, dirty foot, stinking, nobody paying any attention to Him. And He was--left His place up there where He was ministering to the people, walked two days down through that sun, come, had to start a little early, 'cause He--He never misses an appointment. He always keeps His appointments. I love Him for that. He keeps His appointments. That's the reason tonight I got confidence in Him. He keeps His appointments. Hallelujah. He's never failed, and He won't never fail.
