L-1 To be assembled with such a nice people, and I am... I feel very honored to be assembled here with this group of men and women this morning. And while we were eating breakfast as it seems to be that I always think of this... I hear each one give their testimony. And sometimes I heard a man right up here at the end of the table say... I said something to him last night or something. It's one of those men. I believe it's the men setting right there. And a lady over here said that I prayed for her. Now, that seems that I dreamed it. It's just way back. It's something that I may try to explain it the best I can in a few moments.
But as I set here and thought of the doctor there, his testimony, and at the jail services... And this man is a Methodist from my mother's church, and--and the Church of God there, the brother said. And the--and the different ministers...
The young fellow over there, and this brother here, and just so many of you, all of you, our colored brother here... And how that it just gives you something. And I think as we set here this morning, as men and women, we--we have one motive, and that's to the further the cause of Christ. That's--that's why we are here. And we are not divided, though our denominations may mean different, but we are all one in His grace. [Blank.spot.on.tape--Ed.]

L-2 Much of my time... My--my mother's mother came from the reservation, and there's been something in me that loves the outdoors. As you know, I'm a hunter, and I've rode and done much riding. My father was a rider. And up there on--in Kremmling, Colorado, back on Troublesome River, we had... The Hereford Association grazes that--the Troublesome River Valley. And I've rode much in the years back in there. And we have a drift fence where all the--the Association rides their cattle in. If you can raise a--a ton of hay, you can graze a cow on the--on the Arapaho forest. And I noticed a ranger standing there as he counted each man and his brands that went by.
And as I set there many time with my leg over the horn of the saddle watching, and seeing him count those cattle as they go through, I see them come through with the Tripod; that was ours. Turkey Track, that was another ranch up the river. The Diamond T, the Lazy R, and many different brands. Everything went through, and they had different brands, but every one of them was hereford.
That's what I think it today. See? We--we might be different branded, but we're all Christians at heart. Nothing goes in there unless he's a registered hereford. He can't go through the gate unless he's a registered hereford. And we can go in the gates, no matter what we are in brand, as long as we are borned again Christians.

L-3 And looking across the table here and seeing some of the men that, perhaps maybe just a little older than I, and some of you men even that's younger than I, were preaching this marvelous full Gospel, as we call it, before I came in on the scene. And to hear the remarks and the respects that I realize you don't say to me as a man; you're giving them to God for His kindness of His gift that I am with you in ministering.
But did you realize this road that's so smooth that I'm riding on now, you men laid it when you were on the street corner with the guitar years ago and were kicked about from pillar to post? You men and women laid that foundation that I'm only trying to build on. And here I stand as one borned out of season, just a young man in the age of the ministry that you're in. And here, you're letting me speak to you, when really you are the one who laid the foundation. See?
