<TITLE>04. Par 15-18</TITLE>L-15 Or what if just recently in Germany, when the late Adolph Hitler, the great Fuehrer of Germany, what if he would've come down to one of his soldier's house, just a little foot soldier, and would've knocked at the door. And the little soldier would've went and looked around the window, and would've saw it was Hitler at his door, the greatest man in Germany, standing at the door of a foot soldier. Why, quickly he would've opened the door, and with the--come to attention, and with the German salute.

L-16 And then he would've, perhaps, knelt on his knee and said, "Great Fuehrer of Germany, you've honored my little place of abode. Come in, kind sir. And if there's anything in my house that you want, it's yours. I'm so honored to have you, the great dictator of Germany, to come into my house, or to even come to my yard and knock at my door." Sure, it would've been great honor. And he would've let Mr. Hitler in, and anything he desired he could've had it.
And tonight if our dear President Dwight Eisenhower would come to the house of the best democrat there is in this city and knock at the door, you might differ with him with politics, but it would be an honor to know that Dwight Eisenhower knocked at your door, any person here. That's right. Because he is one of the greatest Americans there is; he's the President of this United States. And a good democrat would've felt honored to have Dwight Eisenhower at his door.

L-17 Or what if the Queen of England that recently visit Canada, then she made her way down to the United States, and what if she'd have come here and went down to a--a little shack where I'd probably live here, or the, say the poorest person in the city, and would've humbled herself, and would've knocked at the door, or would've knocked at your door. And you'd have went there to the door and seen that it was the Queen of England. Why, you would've felt honored, because she's a great woman.
I got to see her once. I saw the old mother queen. I got to see them when King George, just when he still had his multiple sclerosis, 'fore he sent for me come pray for him. And when we passed down the street in Canada, and standing there, there was the queen in her beautiful blue dress, and King George with his, setting up, great suffering with ulcers in his stomach and multiple sclerosis, which they said he was suffering tremendously that day. But you'd have never knowed it: sit just as straight. Why? He was a king, and he conducted himself like a king.

L-18 And I noticed Mr. Baxter, which used to be my campaign manager; he just wept when he seen them pass. And I said, "Ernie, what you weeping about?"
He said, "Billy, there goes the king and the queen." Said, "Oh, aren't they lovely?"
I said, "Yes, Mr. Baxter, they are."
But I thought, "If the subjects of King George would've felt that way when he passed by, what will it be when Jesus comes, the King of glory? How will His subjects be when He passes by?"
The schools had let the little children out, and give them little flags, and told them... little British flags... And they wanted to be patriotic. They wanted to make him welcome. He had knocked at the nation's door.
