<TITLE>12. Par 61-64</TITLE>L-61 And he threw down the little missile he had in his hand, and he looked all around the spears till he found the very deepest place. And he threw up his arms and he ran as hard as he could, and screamed with the--all of his might, "Make way for liberty. Make way for liberty." And when he run, hundreds of spears turned to catch him, with nothing but his bare bosom open. In the midst of the bunch of them he run into them grabbing an armful of spears and plunging them into his chest.
They caught him with the spears running through him. And such a display of heroism routed that alien army, and those Swiss men followed with little sticks and stones and beat that alien army plumb out of their country, because one man was willing to step out and take the place and make the sacrifice that was needed.
That display of heroism has seldom ever been compared with, and never exceeded. [Blank.spot.on.tape--Ed.]
Hundreds of years have passed, but Switzerland still remembers them; they've never had a war from then since. That was heroism. That was a man who met the challenge of his day and a challenge of the time.

L-62 But, my brethren, listen; that was a small thing, when one day, Adam's race was backed into the corner. God had sent them the law; they didn't keep it. God sent them prophets; they stoned them and made fun of them. They sent them to judges, and they wouldn't let them rule over them. Every hope had been lost. And Adam's race with sin, sickness, diseases, illiteracy, and all was backed into a corner. And the devil with his on marching army of diseases, sin, was whipping Adam's race down just as fast as he could.
And there was One stepped out of heaven. And He said, "This day I'm going to earth."
The Angels said, "What will You do?"
He said, "I must give My Life for Adam's race." He didn't have to do it. But He was willing to do it, because there was no other hope left. No one else could do it.

L-63 And He didn't hesitate. He stepped out and took the sinner's place. When He was on earth, He looked and seen where the greatest dread that man had, where the thickest of the spears was, it was death. Every man's afraid of death. And He raised His precious hands to the heavens, and struck at the very hardest part and the worst enemy man has, and He plunged the spear of death into His own precious bosom.
And then He sent back on the day of Pentecost to Adam's fallen race the baptism of the Holy Ghost, saying, "Take up this and do the best you can to fight away ignorance and superstitions, sin and sickness." Men who claim to have kissed the rim of the cup of blessings of God, how can we hold our peace in such a time when God has give us the most powerful weapon that man ever placed in the--ever placed in man's hands to fight against sin, and sicknesses, and ignorance, and superstitions and isms. It's a real sky full of the genuine baptism of the Holy Spirit. And we stand in the corner like a bunch of cowards. God wants men and women who are gallant, who will stand out and take the place. God wants a hero. Could you be one?

L-64 I am a hunter. I love to hunt in the woods, not so much for the game; I love to be alone. I never get to be alone 'less I get into the woods. I love to get into the mountains alone. That's where I first knew God; watching Him in nature, how He moves.
A lot of times I'll go with a brother and I'll take a position and go hunting, and I'll tell him I'm going to a certain place. I'm not going to hunt. I go up there and set my gun against a tree and kneel down on top of the mountain. There I see Jehovah.
