<TITLE>02. Par 6-9</TITLE>L-6 And the... They--they've been awfully nice to us. They've never complained, the neighbors, the nights... And we get a little noisy around here, you know, late in the night. But there's never nothing about it, and you know how they could. They could fuss at us with it if they wanted to. And we believe in being just as peaceful with our neighbors and with--live peaceful with all men as far as possible. And so, we want to do that.
And now, if there was no other place in the city, or nowhere for the kiddies to play ball, we would see if we couldn't build us a big, high fence around so that the ball wouldn't go over and bother, and molest our neighbors. But the... Right here in Ingramville, right there, they have a public ball diamond for all kiddies, and playgrounds for them to play, just up above the edge of the graveyard there. They have the whole city playgrounds there for to play ball and whatevermore you wish to play.

L-7 I didn't make a decision. I called it into the church board this morning and ask them what must we do so that we could be peaceful with our neighbors, and have our friends, and everything, and our people would understand. And they have decided that maybe it would be a good thing for us to not have the boys to play ball any more on the grounds, because that it would be...
Not as we care for them doing it. The church don't care. My, a little window light once in a while. But we got to think about our neighbors too, you know. We got to think about them. And we want to live like Christian gentlemen and ladies. And we just... They're going to... I told them the only way they could do would just put a little sign up that the boys not to play ball there. And they... We...

L-8 Now, if any of you neighbors are in here that you're kiddies are playing here on the lot, I'm sure you understand (See?) that we don't want our phones, and things, and the police up here or something another about breaking out window lights and things. And you little boys... If your little boys are out here and little girls playing ball, and they see the sign out there, don't--not to play ball, why... Now, we don't mean to be rude with the children, but we want to be respectable to our neighbors. Everybody understand that, I'm sure.
And I wouldn't make that decision alone. I asked the board to come in this morning and asked them. And that was their decision also, thinking that we should live peaceful with our--our friends. And now, they--they got a ball place right over here, just about two blocks from right where we are now. It's a great, big diamond. And so you can play all the ball you wish to.

L-9 Now, people walking back and forth through there that don't mean that, for them not to walk through or anything, be perfectly all right. And someday I hope to, the Lord willing and Jesus tarries, to make a--a official parking lot for the church there if we don't build a bigger church and put it. And if someday the... Why, return back so it'd be big, have a work here. Why, Brother Neville and I both can be into it and so forth. We'd build a... Just use that lot for a big church and put a great big church here and fix it up in that manner. So we--we bought that while we could buy it.
[A brother from the congregation speaks--Ed.]
Thank you, Brother Roy. That's mighty nice if that--if they can make a decision on making a... If they make a parking lot, that'd just be the thing to do. That's mighty nice. [The brother continues speaking to Brother Branham--Ed.]
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, they're going to stop us from parking. We have already on one side of the street there, so we'll--we'll have to make some--some preparation.
