<TITLE>05. Par 17-19</TITLE>L-17 When men begin to multiply upon the face of the earth, sin and violence set in. Some of you people living here, in this lovely little city that you live. It would be hard for me tell you the sin and such that's in these big cities like Chicago, New York, and Los Angeles.
Flying over to Los Angeles recently, I took a paper that the hostess give me in the plane. And I seen that a hundred and eighty-five major crimes was did in the city of Los Angeles each night: a hundred and eighty-five major crimes. And immorals is on the loose. And they claim that perversion, homosexual, has increased sixty percent over the last year. Think of it! And then weigh it with what God said, "As it was in the days of Sodom, so shall it be in the coming of the Son of man."
And remember, it's like another...?... of boys that's lived so ungodly in their young life and this teen-age racketeers until their natural bodies and so forth, is polluted and perverted till they'll live with each other, hotel rooms and places. You just don't realize, people, what a condition this place is in. It's a million times worse than you could just conceive. You don't get it on the radio and in the papers. Certainly not. You have to go see it to understand it. And what does that?

L-18 We were in Switzerland just recently in a meeting, and such an indifferent people, I never seen. Oh, they were very religious. On Sunday morning you'd think the millennium was on, that bells are ringing everywhere for hours. But cutting the feathers with scissors, and throwing spells on one another, and selfish, and indifferent...
I picked up the paper the next morning after Billy Graham's meeting. He ended it on Saturday; I begin the same place on Sunday. And they said that they--said they did not send for him to come. Said he had to stay in the best hotel there was in the city. Said he went to the pulpit, like going to a band box in the stead of the pulpit, not a wrinkle in his clothes. He put a manicure in his hair, or whatever that stuff is, put it in his hair. And said he was saying things like a fantastic American soap salesman. And said that the perfume on him, you could smell him ten feet away.

L-19 I knew I had it coming. What did it say about me? And it was worse than that. They said I was a polished up soothsayer. Why? That's the condition of a--a nation that gets to a place where they can live in luxury. They haven't haven't had a war since Arnold Von Winkelried's time. And cross the border into Germany, where they been beat to the ground. They come crawling humbly. They were ready.
We was at Finland, where the little boy was raised from the dead. Even their songs are in minor, lovely willing to receive Christ, 'cause they was annihilated when Hitler machine-gunned that whole bunch of men, cut the whole nation down in about twenty-four hours. Crowds of people on the street all are young widow women. Everything was sincere.
Then come right back in but Sweden... Oh, indifferent. Excuse the expression, but the American expression is "cocky." You just get off the streets. All big dances on the street and everything, all night long, nearly. There you are. When you prosper, you forget God. That's just the trend of the land. And that's the same thing took place here in Babylon.
