<TITLE>33. Par -</TITLE>L-350-891 A fellow was in the Army, went down here and got... He had asthma. Went down here in Florida and his eyes become real black, and he went over to the doctor, and he said, "Doctor..."
The doctor said, "Now, you been in a fight, haven't you?"
He said, "No, sir, I haven't."
If you want to know who it is, his name is Herby... Now, if I can just think... It's--it's in Union National Bank in New Albany; he's a teller. Just go there and see the one says "Herby," ask him.
And he said... He went; he said, "Doctor," he said, "I've got sinus."
And he examined him, said, "That's right." He said, "I thought you had been in a fight." Said, "Boy, where do you live?"
He said, "You might not know the place," said, "I live in a little city across from Louisville, Kentucky, called New Albany, Indiana."
Said, "You mean to tell me that you taken sinus trouble off this salt water here in Miami, from coming?" Said, "If you could live in Jeffersonville, Indiana, or New Albany, Indiana, you can live anywhere in the world the United States army would send you." That's all. See?
It's the most unhealthy place there is in the world, that I know of, less it'd be in some malaria swamp. See? And I--I--I--I've got friends here.

L-350-900 Looky here, I can just go to call them like this. Look at Dr. Sam Adair, my buddy. All right. There's Mike Egan, setting there. Oh, my, how many could I name, just hundreds of real good buddies, my old chums, that I've chummed... No matter how many new friends I find, there's nothing will take a place of an old buddy. You know that.
There's my old mother setting back there, not many days for the earth; she's in her sixties now. There's my wife's mother, seventy, going on seventy-one, setting back here somewhere, I think, tonight. And there, leave her... My daddy's buried up here; the wife buried out here on the Walnut Ridge, my baby laying out there. See what I mean?

L-351-902 I--I--I don't like... I--I--I--I don't want to stay here, and I believe that soon, right away, I'm going to have to leave (See), 'cause it's been coming to me (I say this over the pulpit and my Bible.), constantly.
When I told my wife, when they give us the money to build that parsonage which I turned over to this church... This church owns that parsonage; go down here and find out if it isn't. See, I wouldn't take it myself.
Now, when I was going to build there, Meda said, "I want to stay here on account of my mother."
I said, "Honey, just as sure as we do, we'll be sorry of it. See, it just won't work. God has said, 'Separate,' I've got to do it."
And said, "Well, my mother..."
I said, "My mother too. 'But he that won't forsake his own, and follow after Me, is not worthy to be called Mine.' And that's true."
Someday, shortly, I feel I'm going to have to move; that's--or go away. But here's the way, the meetings won't work here. It won't work like it does anywhere else. And anybody that's ever been in the meeting knows that's true, because it's right here in my own hometown. That's it.

L-351-909 Jesus said the same thing when He come. They said, "Who is this guy? Isn't that the carpenter's boy out here? What school did he ever go to? Where'd he get this learning? Now, let me see you do... You said you did miracles over here, let me see you do the same thing here. What you done in Capernaum, let me see you do it here."
Jesus said... "He marveled at their unbelief." He turned and said, "Verily, verily, I say unto you, a prophet's not without reward unless he's amongst his own people in his own county." Is that right?
And we know... Look at... Take Finney, take Sankey, Moody; take John Wesley, never could make a go of it (See?) till he left his country. Look at--look at the--at--at Moody. When Moody, a Boston shoe cobbler, couldn't go at all, he come to Chicago before he come famous. See? He had to get it from his own. You'll always have to do it.
