<TITLE>02. Par 5-8</TITLE>L-5 And we come, who knows... You remember the conversion of Dwight Moody, I believe it was, and the old wash woman had washed all week and passed out her tracts in the early Methodist days. And no one would receive them, throw them on the ground and walk by and thought they were holy-rollers and so forth. And she'd rented an old livery stable, cleaned it out, put her old wash bench down there. Little old boy come by with his daddy's suspenders on, hair hanging down his face, said, "Woman, what are you passing out?"
Said, "Tracts, sonny." Give it to him.

L-6 When the preacher come to preach that night, you know who was there? The old woman and the little boy. The preacher was a gallant old man, in glory today. He preached that sermon just practically burning on his heart, made his altar call for one pupil, the little boy. I don't think it was Moody; I'm sorry, I think that it was either, it might've been Smith. Or ever who it was sent nearly a million souls to Christ when he knelt at the altar that night. He didn't know who it... You don't know what you're doing. Sometimes it's the little places, you're doing something for God; we're working for one big cause, the Kingdom of God. And that's for all people to work for that end.

L-7 I've noticed to... When I first started, and I knew there'd be a lot hooked up with this, and there's nobody on the field in them days. And me being a Baptist and coming out amongst Full Gospel people, I realized what it was going to be. And there was three things that I noticed in the Bible that always...?... a minister. And one of them was money, and the other one was popularity, and women. So I know that Saul fell because of popularity, Balaam because of money, and Samson because of women. So then I know those three things was a hindrance that we must always keep covered up. And money of course, would be the--the greatest. And... or trying to think you're just a little better than somebody else.

L-8 I--I tried, Christian friends, tried my best; by God's grace I can say with His grace, all of its been in the background. You pray that I can keep it that way. I never took money. I suppose that... Billy told me a few minutes ago, said, "Daddy, I think they took you up a love offering." That wasn't necessary, didn't have to do that. I never come for that purpose; God knows that. No, sir. I'm a poor man, could have been a multi-millionaire. Many of you knows that I was give at one time one million five hundred thousand dollars at one time. When the agents brought it to me, I refused to look at their order; I said, "No, sir, I wouldn't put my hand on it."
