<TITLE>11. Par 40-43</TITLE>L-40 Then what's next? Then the old mother, after the little eagles begin to look up and say, "Yes, mama, you are a great bird. I never knew you were so great." Oh, sure.
And another thing the eagle has, as I said, it's feathers is so tight. If those feathers are not perfectly tight, tighter than any other fowl that there is, when they got way up there, the wing feathers would give out, and down would come the eagle, and he'd perish. So those feathers are tight, really set in, because those little ones has to hold their feet in it, while she taking a flight.
And then, when you look and see how great this great mama eagle is, then you know what happens? The mother looks her little ones over; there's something wrong with them. They've got plenty of feathers, but there's too many loose feathers on them, just little old feathers, that has to be taken out of there. You know what she begins to do? She begins to fan those big wings, and when she does, it's with such a force, till she blows all the loose feathers out of them little eagles.

L-41 If there ever was a time that mama eagle is setting on the Pentecostal nest, it's today. There's too many loose feathers in the Pentecostal church. Oh, yes. You women, bobbing off your hair. That's not right. The Bible said that it's wrong. And get out on a afternoon and put them little bitty old short clothes on to mow the yard. It's wrong. It's a sin in the sight of God to do that. And you say, "No, I don't wear shorts; I wear slacks."
The Bible said, "A woman that'll put on a garment that pertains to a man, it's an abomination in the sight of God." God doesn't change. Too many loose feathers in the Pentecostal church. She's not ready to fly away yet.
Used to be it was wrong for holiness women, and women of the church, to wear manicure, or that stuff you put on your mouth and face. But you can't tell one from the other; what's the matter? Too many loose feathers. You know that's the truth. That might make you sick.

L-42 Mama used to, we was raised up here in the mountains. We had to take old meat skins and boil them out and get the grease to make our corn pones, black-eyed peas, breakfast, dinner, and supper. And every Saturday night, we'd have to take a dose of castor oil, 'fore you go back to the school for Monday morning. I remember that as well, and I had took so much of that stuff, I can't stand to smell it yet. And every time I start to mama, I start holding my nose; I said, "Mama, it makes me so sick."
She said, "If it don't make you sick, it don't do you any good."
So that's the way it is today. If old time Bible teaching and preaching don't make you sick, it don't do you no good. It stirs up you spiritual gastronomics. And that's true. Oh, yes.

L-43 And you women, that belongs to the church, Methodist, Baptist, Presbyterian, Pentecostal, Nazarene, Pilgrim Holiness, you'll stay home on Wednesday night to hear this ungodly thing of "We love Susie" of ever what that is, instead of going to prayer meeting, and listen to that rascal (excuse me for saying it) Arthur Godfrey, Elvis Presley, and all of those ungodly things which is unbecoming to the church. You know that's right. Then you wonder why we can't take a flight. You wonder why God can't restore the gifts in the church. How--He ain't got nothing to restore to yet: too many loose feathers, too many loose preachers, that won't preach the truth about it, Baptist, Methodist, Pentecostal too. We need a old fashion God sent, revival, and the Bible Holy Ghost back into the church, that cleans you from your soul outwardly.
