<TITLE>05. Par 18-21</TITLE>L-18 Oh, this is shocking. Two young ladies, about, oh, in their late twenties or early thirties, with just their underneath clothes on, both women married with wedding rings, and they had a big bottle of whiskey. And they were passing it one to another, and then pulling up their little underneath clothes and screaming. And you know what? Maybe, a husband at home taking care of the baby, while they were having a little innocent fun. It's sin! And vice versa, some woman home taking care of the baby, while her husband was up there with her having, little innocent fun. It's rank, ungodly, filthy sin. And the wages of it is death, separation from God forever.
And here they come down the hall, and one man grabbing them, pulling this way and another one that way, the man out of their doors.
I just stepped back and watched just a moment with my Bible. And finally, when they got loose the last man, and he sprawled on the floor, and had to climb in on his hands and knees, to get back in the room... And somebody pouring whiskey over the top of him, bringing him in.

L-19 Oh, such an ungodly sight. And I looked at that, and I thought, "Oh, God." I've seen these two beautiful little women, just with their underneath garment, and they stopped just a little above me, and they tried to pass the bottle one to the other, and one reached down and picked up her little skirt, and kicked her feet up in the air, and she said, "Whoopee, this is life."
I couldn't stand it any longer. I stepped out; I said, "Sister, you are mistaken; this is death." So death--life has more than one interpretation.
The Bible said, "She that liveth in pleasure, is dead while she is alive." That's what God said.

L-20 And she looked over, and she took the bottle; I said, "Just a moment." This same Bible in my hand. She blared her eyes and looked at me. I said, "I'm a Gospel preacher. And I'm an American too. But I'm almost ashamed of my country, that you've come here and represented it in the way that you're doing." I said, "Shame on you."
They dropped the bottle, and down the hall they went, as hard they could go. They thought they were living, but they were dead in sin and trespasses. Oh, what a condition.

L-21 In Hamilton, Ohio, recently, I was having a meeting, and they'd gotten up to seven, eight, ten thousand people, and I had to stay outside the city. We were eating at a little Dunkard restaurant. The ladies were clean and nice looking, as they come in and waited, and everything just so decent looking. Well, we enjoyed that. Sunday came, and Sunday afternoon, I was going to speak. Dr. Baxter was let--let me speak, who was the campaign manager, and I'd speak on Sunday afternoon, then wait till Sunday night for the healing service. I got hungry; I thought, "I believe I'll go get something to eat, just a sandwich, kindly hold me over."
As I went out the door, the little Dunkard restaurant, they'd closed up, and they were gone to church. And I seen, just across the other side, a typical little roadside place, with sandwiches and things. I stepped in there. And when I stepped in, there was a policeman with his arms around a woman, playing a slot machine. And gambling is illegal in Ohio. And a man of my age, which was, perhaps, a married man with a bunch of grown children. I looked down at the other end, there was a young teen-age girl setting by a bunch of them motorcycle-jacket boys, with a, you know, with their clothes half hung off.
