L-1 I thought I was going to get to eat again. I laid a Bible down here somewhere. You don't...?... confidence in [Someone speaks to Brother Branham--Ed.] when... Yes... When a soldier will lay his--his sword down... but it's around his friends.
I was thinking, coming along the line, just a few moments ago, to get... on the... come up to the breakfast, and I was speaking with a man who was a Baptist... had just come into this marvelous full gospel way. And we were talking about Baptist theology, and he said, "Brother Branham, what do you think about it? They... It seems to get farther away. A many of them are coming in."
And I said, "They certainly are--are a good church, the Baptist church--nice people, and they have good teaching." I said, "But it's just like taking a bird, and you put him into a cage and give him orthodox food, a lot of vitamins to make good wings, but you got him in a cage." So that's it. "What good does it do to make him good strong wings, if you're going to keep him in a cage?" Might as well not give it to him, so I...?... somewhere like, where you can fly free."

L-2 Sometimes I think I fly a little too free. You know, you can excuse that by being an Irishman? Someone said, talking about their nationalities... I said, "Well, if--if He will save an Irishman, there's hope for the whole world, 'cause they're just up and down," and I said, "especially from Kentucky."
And this man happened to be a Kentuckian, and he said, "Well," he said, "I can prove that Paul was a Kentuckian."
I said, "How is that?"
Said, "The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with 'you all.' He was a real Kentuckian."

L-3 To be assembled this morning, here at this breakfast, with such men as I am assembled with, and women, it certainly is a--a privilege that kings of the earth don't have. Because on assembling like this, we have a promise that the King of Kings will be with us: "Wherever two or three are gathered in My Name, I'll be in their midst." And I just love that.
I'm thinking, the last time we gathered here, I believe it was, we didn't get anything to eat. You remember that, Brother Browning? We just set around and talked, but we had a spiritual feast. That's much better. And then this morning, seems like that the Lord's given us a double portion: something to eat for our stomachs and already get food for our hearts. And we're grateful to Him.

L-4 I'm grateful to you brethren, the sponsors of this meeting, that is assembled here this morning and for this Christian Businessmen, who I love and speak for them much. We was coming along this morning on the line, and I said something about the Christian Businessmen will all this being ministers and their wives, Brother Moore said, "No, there'll be some Christian Businessmen."
Someone we were talking to said oh... something about the Businessmen, and they said, "Why, they took Brother Branham; that's the only denomination he belongs to is the Christian Businessmen."
I said, "I'm getting to be such a fanatic that I believe that's about the only one that'll receive me." I said, "I'm just such a crank anyhow, that I believe just the Christian Businessmen is the only one. They can shove me from one to the other, you know, 'cause they represent them all." So... But we're happy to be here with the Christian Businessmen, and the ministers and their wives, and all the visitors, if there be any with us that's not ministers and not in the fellowship.
This has been a great time for me here in Phoenix. So sorry that I had a throat the way I have it. But I... This is just about my fifth month now, without hardly a day or night off, but what I've been in a service--constantly on the go.
