<TITLE>06. Par 20-22</TITLE>L-20 But I might not look like it this morning, but I used to herd a few cattle. And up there in Colorado, where we graze on the Arapaho forest, and--and bring the cattle down on the Troublesome River Association... Hereford Association grazes the... has the ranches down on the Troublesome River. At roundup time at the spring, when we brought the cattle up to put them on there, many times have I set there with my leg across the horn of the saddle, and watch the ranger count those cattle as they went through. And I was amazed to look; some of them had the Lazy K brand on them. Some of them has the Diamond Bar brand on them. Ours was the Tripod. But others was different brands. The ranger... The brand didn't make much difference, but every one that passed through that gate had to be a registered Hereford.
That's what I think it'll be at the day of the Judgment: it won't be whether you're Methodist or Baptist, or Presbyterian, but what brand you got on you, but it'll be a borned again experience that...?... Holy Ghost...?...

L-21 So not only among the Pentecostal denominations, but all denominations, this great palmerworm has broke down brotherhood. It's did it with the Lutherans. It's did it with the Baptists. It's did it with the Presbyterians. It's did it with the Nazarenes. It's did it with the Pentecostals. It's always been that old worm in there to make them isolate themselves. "We got it. You ain't got nothing." What a pity.
Recently at a meeting, where a Lutheran group of people... A dean of a college had Brother Moore and I there, and he so differed with me. But what got him was in the supernatural. And he called me out, to have dinner with him. And there was pretty near as many there as there is here at this breakfast. And then, when we got through eating and was explaining to him, he wanted to know "What we Lutherans have..."
And I said, "Well, do you say..."
He said to me, "Do we Lutherans have anything?"
I said, "Sure. You have Christ." I said, "I'll make it to you in a parable." A man once planted a field of corn. And he went out in a few days, and he looked, and there were little, two little sprouts sticking up like this. And the man begin to praise God for a field of corn. I said, "Did he have corn?"
He looked at me, said, "Well, perhaps in a sense he had corn."
I said, "He had corn, potentially."

L-22 By and by that corn matured. And after while it become a tassel. I said, "The first two leaves were you Lutherans, first Reformation. And after while, along come the tassel. That tassel looked so pretty. It looked back down to the leaf and said, "I haven't got nothing to do with you. I'm a pretty tassel, and you aren't nothing but just an old green leaf."
But if the truth was known, the very life that was in the leaf has made the tassel. And it has to have the leaf to drop it's pollen to further on towards maturity. After while the ear come, had grains on it--the Pentecostal, restoration of the gifts, back to where it went into the ground, the return of the power of God in fullness, showing Christ alive, at Pentecost, through the gifts and manifestations of the first church.
But you know, when this ear of corn come on, it looked back to that tassel and say, "You ain't got nothing. You ain't even in it. And you old dead Lutheran leaves down there, there's nothing to you."
