<TITLE>05. Par 13-16</TITLE>L-13 Sometime ago at Africa, I was watching a scene that was most outstanding. And it brought me to realize this. I was watching through binoculars, and I seen a little lamb that had strayed out from the corral in Africa, where they keep their sheep and their goats and things in a corral. But this little fellow was outside and all... He was eating, and all at once the little fellow become nervous, flusterated. And I couldn't see for my life why the little fellow would be so shook up.
And I happened to notice way down below him in the weeds, the tall African weeds, there was a great black mane lion that smelt that lamb and was slipping up to him. The little fellow, the sheep cannot smell the lion, but he is--has a sense of something that excites him. And he could sense with that that there's something going wrong somewhere.
And many times that that's in the human race and in--in among the wildlife. How many times since being here I have said when I would go home of how I watched these little ducks come up here from down in the south, and build their nest out of these marshes. Why? So the foxes can't get their little ones. And the little duck is borned on this swamp out here, the marsh. Why, he never was off of that marsh; he was born here, like this spring.

L-14 And this fall, just when the first cold breeze begins to come from British Columbia, sweeping down through this a way, there's a certain little duck on that pond who's born this spring, who's borned a leader. He will run out into the pond, and stick his little head up in the air, and honk that little honker a few times; and every duck on the pond will come to him. And he will rise right up out of Saskatchewan, never away from it in his life, and go just as straight to the rice fields of Louisiana as he can go. You say, "It's instinct. Well, it's God-given instinct.

L-15 And this little lamb, he was nervous. And he was--he was eating all right, first, but then he become nervous. And he just couldn't stand still. There was something taking place that he could not see, and the lamb cannot smell his enemy. But there was something that--death lurking, that made him nervous.
I watched the scene. And then come into my mind, the beginning of the text that I want to use tonight. There was something warning him of a present danger. And that's the way it is in the nations of the world tonight.
I was reading the other day that where the psychiatrists in the United States are going to each other. And where the great singers like, and entertainers like Arthur Godfrey, and a lot of those people with their wise cracks and so forth, some of them have as many as three psychiatrists. A New York newspaper reporter took two years to search it down. That rock-and-roll, boogie-woogie Elvis Presley, a modern Judas Iscariot, that boy was a Christian in a Pentecostal church with the baptism of the Holy Ghost. I know his pastor, his mother, and them well. Judas Iscariot got thirty pieces of silver out of Christ; he got a fleet of Cadillacs. But he's sold his birthright.
Red Foley, a deacon in the church, sold his birthrights, and taken his talents, and giving it to the world. They have to have psychiatrists to keep them up. Presley's had three or four heart attacks and yet in his teens yet. It's the strain.

L-16 And now, the whole world seems to be alarmed. It's an unseen force that is trying to warn men that something is about to happen. The whole world is--is shook up about it. It's just about the end of the age. It's just about the coming of Christ, just about that hour for Him to arrive.
The newspapers... I heard a commentary, commentator say not long ago, that eighty-five percent of the North American people were mentally disturbed. Think of it. Eighty-five percent of the people on the North American continent has something wrong mentally. They're going at a breakneck speed; they are rushing, going. They don't know where they're going.
