<TITLE>03. Par 7-10</TITLE>L-7 And Brother Vayle said; we was having a ministerial breakfast this morning, and some of the brothers and sisters were going to gather in for--for the--a little time of fellowship. And, you know, it was such a wonderful thing, till I, as a soldier, I left my sword at home. So... I just... That's my Bible. And so I--I knew that we were be seated together in heavenly places anyhow, in Christ, and I thought maybe this morning for just a few moments talk... I guess we should be cleared out in the next few moments. But being that you--you brethren are ministers, and far more capable of speaking the Word than I am, because I am a spare tire... See, just... You know what you use a spare tire for. You see? So we don't have any puncture this morning, so we don't necessarily need the spare tire.
But I thought I would try to report to you upon some things that our heavenly Father is doing in--in the places which I thought would be more of a interest to you, brethren than to try to take a text or something and talk to you from.

L-8 And the text that I would think in my mind, if would be any, would be Mark 16. And what a marvelous text it is. It's the last commission to the church. When God first commissioned His church, Christ in Matthew 10, He gave them power over unclean spirits and to heal the sick and so forth. That was His first commission. His last commission was to go into all the world and preach the Gospel to every creature. Now, men try to say that day is finished. But there's only on third of the world has ever heard of Christ so far. Through all the world and to every creature. "And these signs shall follow them that believe," said Jesus.

L-9 And I know it's not good, and I don't think that the Gospel deserves to be told jokes, so I wouldn't want you to class this as a joke. But just something that comes to my mind of a recent event. There was young boy who went off to school to get his education to be a minister. And which was all right, if it's the right kind of a school that'll teach him the right thing. And so many of our... so... Well I--I have... You know I have no education. I have a seventh grade education, so I can't speak before men of your caliber and use the right words, but I--I hope the Holy Spirit will let you know what I mean.
The--the schools is just so formal and indifferent. They have a social gospel like. And they don't--they don't teach the full Word of God. The boy will probably be better off to stay home and stay on his knees.

L-10 But this young fellow in his schooling... His mother taken sick while he was gone, and she got very ill with a pneumonia. And so she--she... They sent word to her son to stand by. He may be called home at any time, for the doctor said that there was nothing he could do. He gave her penicillin, and--and put...?... her in a oxygen tent. She still was fading away. And the boy was ready to leave from a famous college and--and come home and to his mother. And all of a sudden he got a telegram that she was--had recovered and was all right.
And so on the vacation time, the young gent come home to see his mother. And he come in; he said, "Mother, I would like to ask you something." Said, "When you were so sick," said, "Why, what happened all at once? What did the doctor give you to make you get well so quick? I was already packed, my suitcase, when I got the--the telegram that you were well." And said, "I... You never did explain it to me."
