<TITLE>04. Par 10-13</TITLE>L-10 But let me tell you something. We haven't got that money. You're poor men. All of us are. That's right. We live by the alms of the people, being ministers. But, brother, in Africa one little black boy about this high, or a prostitute off the street yonder in Louisville, one soul saved, in eternity when that star is a shining yonder, our name will wrapped into it. There's your value. It isn't how much you got, how much you desire; it's how much you can do towards saving souls for Christ Jesus. Our money will fade.

L-11 Now, you polish that little old Ford, and this morning, setting up there in the garage is a Cadillac that they give me. But one of these days that Cadillac will be like the Ford is; it'll be no more. But God will still be the same.

L-12 But if I get a soul saved for Christ, brother, as long as there's an eternity, the glory of God will rest on that soul. So what is value anyhow? What good does it do when the struggles is in your throat, and the doctor sees the pulse coming up your sleeve. What good's all the money and all the popularity? People to pat you on the back, or you become a great person, what good does that do you? Not a bit. It vanishes and stays here on the earth.
But one soul saved, you'll see your name wrapped into it as long as the morning star shall glitter in...?... So let's save souls, brethren.
Each one. You housewives, you don't have to be a preacher. You do something for the glory of God. Remember, eternal things is what lasts forever, and that's getting souls saved. Let that be the first thing of all your work, and all your ideas, and all your motives.

L-13 Yesterday, standing by, holding a mother's hand, my arm around her, and her chin quivering, and her boy laying there dying... She said, "Billy, I--I've longed and longed for you to come back to the Tabernacle."
I said, "Sister, Ferguson, I--I'd like to do that." She said... I said, "Well, look, sister, Oh, I could get maybe fifty souls saved here in the Tabernacle. That'd be a good crop for a year. I can get a hundred thousand of them saved in some other land." See? When I walk into glory, I don't want to... God had saved me. He done saved me. That's settled. But the thing of it is, when I get there, I want to look around and see the stars shining. Amen. I want to see something that make something.
If I--if I would've died and I was a great man, a president like Lincoln or something like that, they'd build a big memorial, but one day it wouldn't be. But one soul saved in glory, your name will be wrapped in that as long as there's an eternity rolling on.
