<TITLE>13. Par 42-44</TITLE>L-42 Brother Wood and Billy and I today walked down to the lake. And that old lake was really a jumping. Oh, my. I tell you; the white caps was a breaking. And I love water: Any good Baptist does. So, oh, how the water was jumping. And I looked out there, and Brother Wood said, "Say, that thing's rough."
I said, "It's got a revival."
He said, "A what?" He looked around at me, and he said, "Now, I know you're a Cheechaker." A Cheechaker, that's a Indian name for greenhorns in Alaska. And he said...
I said, "Sure it's got a revival." I said, "Don't you see how happy it is. It's just clapping hands and a jumping." See? But I said, "Brother Wood, there's no more water in it than when it's perfectly quiet." That's right.
Well, then you wonder why do you need a revival? What brings that rough water like that? A wind was coming. [Brother Branham blows--Ed.] That makes a revival. And when the Holy Ghost comes like a rushing mighty wind, It brings a revival. And what did the revival do to the lake? Every bit of trash was on the lake was washed out on the bank.
That's what we need a revival for, is to wash some of the worldly trash out of the Holy Ghost church. We need a rushing mighty wind coming from heaven. Some of the worldly denomination's trash is brought in with it. Whew! My, maybe I oughtn't to have said that. But I still say it's the truth. God's Word. Have a revival; get the waves a jumping again. You'll see all this Max Factor go out of business as far as the Pentecostal church is concerned then.

L-43 And some of you men will get that wishbone out of you and get a real he man backbone in you and make your wife straighten up. Spank that little old daughter of yours running around there on the street, and some man insult her and then you go around and want to have the man arrested. You ought to have a whipping. You're the guy, you brother. That's right. You're the one.
You ought to be the ruler of the house. God's holding you responsible the way you're letting that girl do: Let her come in of a nighttime her hair all mussed up and a cigarette and paint all over her face. I got two. I don't know what they'll do, but one thing, brother, as long as I got life, and a barrel slat's laying close, I'll do my part. Yes, sir. Yes, sir. I believe that they ought...

L-44 You talk about the illiteracy of Kentucky, brother, you all got a long ways to go before you come up to them up there. That's right. Let one of them gals come in like that and watch what that little old mammy with that little old sunbonnet on will do. She'd say, "Get yourself over here with a hickory limb, brother." I mean she won't get out of the house for three or four days, 'cause she wouldn't be able. That's right. And then you say, "She's crazy."
They said the same thing about Elijah setting up there with some colored porters called crows bringing him something to eat, and drinking for all the time he wanted to, and it's a good pool. And there they was down there gnawing their tongues for pain, nothing to eat, and starving. He was faring all right.
Don't you feel sorry for these guys that's shouting and praising the Lord and having a good time and living a holy life. Don't you feel sorry for them. They feel sorry for you. That's what it is. You're the one that needs to be feel--felt sorry for.
