<TITLE>12. Par 52-54</TITLE>L-52 You know the Bible said their hair is their glory. No wonder the glory's all gone. So we... But I'm not saying that jokingly. This is the pulpit. This is the place where judgment must come. I'm preaching the Bible. I'm telling you what God says in His Word. And because the world has seeped in and took pride and put in the people's hearts, both men and women, that's the reason that we're longing to see those days again. "My soul thirsts after Thee." Oh, my...
David also said, "As the hart thirsts for the waterbrook, so my soul thirsts after Thee, oh, God." I think of that, that Psalm, how David had been a hunter in the woods. He hunted the lions, and the bears, and so forth with his slingshot. How he watched nature... And he knowed about deer hunting, perhaps was raised on it. And how the deer, what a--a cunning animal he is. And how that a deer... They have a wolf or a wild dog. In Africa it's a wild dog. In America it's called a wolf.

L-53 You see a--a little deer that's feeding, and the--the wolf will slip up real easy. And if he can catch that deer off of guard, just like the devil catches the church off of guard... The thing the church has been wanting is a great big fine building and a minister right out of the cemetery, or the seminary, that can say... (Excuse me, I didn't mean to say that.), that stands up, you know, and can say, "Ahhh-men," so beautiful. Brother, and dressing...
What's the matter with the world today? We got too many little kinky-haired, Hollywood evangelists, in the stead of the old fashion God-sent...?... That's right. Running up-and-down the floor, and women on the platform with big earrings sticking in their ears...?... everything, dress that they're poured into them, and no wonder the sinner... Look, we need the old fashion kind. I feel the old fashion, back woods, sky blue, sin killing religion. That's right, brother. It won't whitewash you, but it will wash you white. That's right. Gets you from the inside out, thoroughly clean. And Jesus Christ is the Author of that salvation--Fountain open for all.

L-54 And if you see those little deer, as that sneaking hound dog coming up on them... Lot of times down in the south here, they, down in Louisiana they--they run the deer with the dog. I always thought it was cruel. The dog's going hunting, let him go. You go to hunt yourself, then leave the dog at home. So then... when the... Watched him when he's running these little deer.
And David saw such. And then when the--the dog slips up real easy, and he sees the little deer, he's got a--a trick of cutting their throat. The wolf, he has two blood fangs, sticks out like that. And he watches the deer, and when he's right at it, he will run real quick, dash quickly, so fast the deer don't even see him, and he grabs the deer and sinks those fangs just like a serpent, right in the back of its ear in a jugular vein, runs right along behind its ear. Then the wolf swings his weight, like them two knives sticking in there and cuts the little deer's throat and down he goes, because he was not on his guard.
