<TITLE>10. Par 35-39</TITLE>L-35 What does a woman do it for? What? To appear before men; that's the same thing Jezebel does. She likes to hear the boys go, "whee whew" [Brother Branham imitates a wolf whistle--Ed.] that hound dog call or wolf call. That's right. It's because the pastor has let down. And you wouldn't have an old fashion, God sent minister; you got some little Hollywood type of a guy that likes to beat on a drum, and jump up-and-down, and holler, "Hallelujah." The devil can do the same.
Holiness becometh the Lord. And if you love the world, or the things of the world, the love of God's not even in you. That's what the Scripture said.

L-36 Now, you see what you're doing? The wrong spirit's got among you, and it's making you try to satisfy that blessed holy thirst, that God give you to worship Him with, you're trying to satisfy it with television, radio, all the fancy things of the world, and make-ups, and carry on. I believe you should look clean. Don't think I have to...?... you ought to have dirty clothes on. I think you should look the best, but be decent, clean, honorable looking.
Laying out in the backyard, with a little old lawnmower, when a man's coming on the... them little old clothes on, that you oughtn't to even stand before your husband with. And men come in and permitting such as that. And then deacons in the church, shame on you. No wonder we're gone.

L-37 Listen, don't you worry...?... It's ain't the robin that pecks on the apple that hurts it; it's the worm at the core. Our own rotteness is what's killing us. We need...?... of the Lord God. If you want to act like children of God, He will protect His own. You know that's the truth.
Now, that blessed thirst, what made it come? God made you that way? And the devil turns around and said, "This is life. This is life." But you're receiving death all the time. You don't know what pleasure is, till you really get those carnal roots out of your heart and get God in there, where you can fellowship, and worship God, and rejoice, and sing in the Spirit, and wash His feet like a real lady or gentleman, house under control, and your children all obedient.

L-38 A few days ago, down in Ohio, in a court they said that all children had to be sent to college. They want no illiteracy in Ohio. And the Amish people don't send their children to these modern high schools. And they've never had on the record of all the Amish in...?... history, of one case of juvenile delinquency. Let them dress different, and act different, and be peculiar, and act... But they haven't had no--no juvenile delinquency. Not one case on their records of--of America. They don't send them to them kind of places. And they passed a law that they'd have to go their own high schools and colleges.
And the old mother and father was called in because they didn't send their son.
And the judge said, "You'll either send them, or you'll serve two years in prison." I was in Middletown, Ohio at the time it happened.
And the father said, "I refuse to do it, sir. Not for being different, but because that I come to America, thinking that this was freedom of religion (We don't have no more democracy.)--freedom of religion.
He said, "You'll either abide by our laws, or you'll pay--you'll pay the penalty like the rest of them would."
He said, "I refuse to send them."
Said, "I sentence you and the mother, two years in the penitentiary."

L-39 The last flower of democracy faded in that courtroom. The father got up and said, "Very well, I'll spend it to save my son. I don't want any of your rock-and-rolls and your nonsense." And when he started out, the unjust judge tried to justify himself by saying that, "Remember the Scripture says, 'Give Caesar what's Caesars."
And he turned around and said, "And to God...?" But it bloomed again just a few minutes. His whole bench quit the job, and resigned thereafter. God be blessed for a few real outstanding Americans yet there. What should the Church do? Take a stand and stand there, without moving.
