<TITLE>02. Par 6-9</TITLE>L-6 And you are so lovely just to set and keep quiet in reverence, and listen to every word. I hope someday the Lord will help me to, and you'll pray for me, if you desire for me to, to come back and have a good two or three weeks meeting right in here, so we just have a--get acquainted, and come out, and have morning, afternoon services, and night services, and pray for the sick, and teach the Gospel. And have all the pastors in, all of them setting on the platform. And the one that don't come and set on the platform is going to have to but me a steak. And I'm a good eater.
So that--so I--I like for fellowship, don't you? I like to see the Anglican, Methodist, Baptist, Lutheran, Pentecostal, this, the one hump camel, two hump camels, and three hump camels, all one together (That's right.) going up the highway. And we'd just be very glad to have that.
And let some of the pastors of the different churches... Well, we're not divided, all one army are we, one in hope and doctrine, one on charity. That's the way we stand. And now, it won't be isolationists. We found something good of the Lord, and just want to share it with our brethren as we're passing by, and our sisters, as we're on our road to glory.

L-7 I been in the ministry now some twenty-five years. I've been saved twenty-five years, been preaching about twenty-three years. And if I've ever done any harm, I--I--I didn't mean to do it; I'm sure of that. And I have tried to live and conduct my services in the Name of the Lord Jesus with the life and respects to where if I had come back into a place, I--I don't want one thing against it, because it... Not as makes much difference about me, but it's Who I'm representing (that's it), the Lord Jesus. And I'd rather lay down my life and say, "Well, let's forget it, and let me pass out of the world," than to come and to be a deceiver, or to 'cause trouble among the people of God. I want them to be one with all my heart.

L-8 When I come into the--among the Full Gospel ranks, I--I was a Baptist minister. And I begin praying for the sick. And the Baptists believe in Divine healing, many of them, some better than what the Pentecostal does. But in the majority of them, they're more the, "Well, we don't know just whether it's so." So then, that's all right. They got a right to test them, their--that's their own privilege. That's everybody's privilege. Don't make me think one less of them. But when I come over here, I found out they was--they was as badly split up as the Baptists was. You know, we got thirty some odd different denomination of Baptists. So the Pentecost is just about as bad.
So I took this, brethren, to never have great big programs where I'd have to have a lot of money, and by the grace of God, we've kept it clean, without money. And tonight, if I'd have took what'd been offered to me, not what... I never asked for a penny in my life, by the grace of God.

L-9 Now, I never took a offering in my life, never. And I--and I have had offered to me... If I had just took what'd been, I'd been many times past a millionaire. That's right. And tonight I'd hate to write you a check on my bank for anything over about three hundred dollars, unless I was sure I could get it in there right away.
But here's one thing; I--I want to be honest; I want to live in the condition that the people--just like the people that come to me, so I can feel their suffering, and fellowship with them, and I'm right on the level with them. That's the way I feel. I don't say that just from my mouth; I say that from my heart. And God knows it to be the truth.
And I'd rather be that way. My people's poor, and we're all poor, and--and our riches is in glory. Amen. That's where we're going to get it.
And I asked my wife here some weeks ago; I said, "Sweetheart, what is value? Where could you place value?"
"Well," she said, "what do you mean, Billy?"
