L-1 Bow our heads just a moment for prayer.
Gracious God, we are happy to be in Thy Presence again this fine Sabbath afternoon to offer to Thee the expressions of our hearts, through prayer. And we know that Thou does hear, and will answer every petition that we ask for, because we asking this blessing in Jesus' Name, that You will come to us today and comfort our hearts. Bless the sick and the needy; heal them, Lord. Save the lost; get glory unto Thyself, for we ask it in His Name. Amen.

L-2 [Brother Vayle reads the Scripture from Deuteronomy 32:1-12--Ed.]
Thank you, Brother Vayle. I would wish to say this afternoon, that the boys has just told me that they had run out of books and--and pictures. And they said that immediately after the service, if you wanted to have them, why, they would be taking the orders at the desk.
We won't sell them on Sunday, I've never did that, but they run out a couple days ago, and so they didn't have too many with them. And the books is on press now, being--that's on the printing press being printed. They'll be off in a few days. We would send them to you.
Now, remember tonight, and immediately after the service, the evangelistic service this afternoon, that my boy, Billy, and the boys here, will be giving out the prayer cards. Just remain in your seats after the service, you, who want prayer cards. And then, to those who could not get in, they'll give out about fifty of them this afternoon, and then about fifty more tonight at six o'clock. So now, you who want a prayer card may have one, anybody that wants them.

L-3 Now, for a text, this afternoon, I wish to speak on the subject, "As The Eagle Stirs Her Nest And Fluttereth Over Her Young." This is rather an unusual subject, and my voice is not really up to par to try to speak on this subject, but I'm just trusting to God today, for just a little evangelistic service, that God will teach us, maybe, something that we should know about His goodness and His care for His people.
I'm so glad, once to know, that--that there is a real, true, and living God, Who still lives and loves His people. And now, our text, this afternoon, "As The Eagle Stirs Her Nest."

L-4 I've often wondered why God ever likened His heritage unto eagles. And I, one day, begin to study about what was an eagle. And as living in the wilderness the bigger part of my life, and cattle, and around eagles in the country where I range cattle, in Arizona, and up in the New Mexico, and Colorado. I studied much about the eagle, his habits. And then, one day I run onto this text, so I thought, "Why did He liken His heritage unto eagles?" Then I noticed that there is about forty different types of eagles, forty different types.
The word "eagle" means "a feeder with the beak, the mouth, that feeds with the mouth."

L-5 Now, how would He liken His heritage unto an eagle would be... You remember He said, "His people, being eagles, especially His prophets, and then He likened Himself to an eagle." He's Jehovah Eagle, and we are His eaglets, the little ones. And how He feeds us with His own mouth. "Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every Word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God." God feeds His eagles on--by His Word, His spoken Word.
Now, I've had... Many times I've set down and enjoyed a good steak, or a good fish dinner, or chicken, and enjoyed it, but never could I enjoy, just like setting down at Jehovah's table and just let Him feed us on His good Word.
