<TITLE>14. Par 45-47</TITLE>L-45 Let them remember Mr. Ball of the fruit jar. Let them remember Mr. Kraft, of the cheese. How that he couldn't make a go of his cheese, and one day a voice spoke to him, said, "Take Me for your Partner." ...?... Many of the others, Colgate; when they took Jesus as their Partner, things changed. May it be with them today, Lord.
We love You. We thank You for this breakfast. We thank You for this gathering. We thank You for the natural food; we did at the beginning. Now we thank You for the spiritual food to build us and make us better children of God, stronger in the Gospel, more determined to do right. Until that time that we meet You at that supper, Lord, keep us, Lord; guide us; hold our hand; walk with us through the shadows. Be with us in the marshy grounds and in the shifting sands, till we finally meet at home. For we ask it in Jesus' Name. Amen.
 Saviour, Saviour,
 Hear my humble cry;
 While on others Thou art calling,
 Do not pass me by.
Let's just shake hands with one another and say, "God bless you." Somebody setting next to you, just turn, say, "God bless you." Methodist, Baptist, Presbyterian, Pentecostal...
 Hear my humble cry;
 While on others Thou art calling,
 Oh, do not pass me by.
Don't you love those old fashion songs? It just scours you out. I don't... I have nothing against jubilee songs; them are fine. But for me, I like them old fashion songs. I'm just one of them old fashion type Christians; I love that meek, gentle Spirit that them songs bring over the people. Old blind Fanny Crosby wrote that song. "What do you think of Christ, Fanny Crosby?" She wrote this:
 Pass me not, O gentle Saviour,
 Hear my humble cry;
 While on others Thou art calling,
 Do not pass me by.
 Thou the Spring of all my comfort, (Think of it.)
 More than life to me,
 Whom have I on earth beside Thee?
 Or Whom in heaven but Thee?

L-46 She's at her reward. When a poet... A bunch of men came to her, wanted her to write worldly songs. They said, "Mrs. Crosby, you're missing a fortune; you should write love songs."
She said, "God called me to write songs of Him."
"Oh," he said, "that heaven stuff..." They were both infidels, said, "There's no such a thing." Said, "When you get to heaven... If you... If there's such a place as heaven and you go there..." Said, "You're blind." Said, "You'll never see Him. How would you know it was Christ?" Said, "You--you couldn't know Him because you're blind."
And she said, "I'll know Him; I'll know Him if I am blind." And when they slammed the door and went out, she went down through the room with her hands up; she wrote this song:
 I shall know Him, I shall know Him,
 And redeemed by His side I shall stand;
 I shall know Him, I shall know Him,
 By the prints of the nails in His hands.

L-47 It's in those hours of criticism that the strain is brought upon us to test us. Like in your business or anything else, them are more precious than gold. They're testing times, as I spoke at that breakfast the other morning, testings to prove us. She said, "I'll  know Him, for I'll take His hand, and I'll feel the nail scars. If I'm blind, I'll still know Him."
God bless you. I want to tell you businessmen something, you Full Gospel Businessmen here. You know what happened to Zacchaeus? I'll tell you. He become a charter member of the Full Gospel Christian Businessmen's Association of Jericho.
