<TITLE>04. Par 14-17</TITLE>L-14 Everyone who is born on this earth that's got a soul, always are trying to look behind the curtain to see where they come from, what they are, and where they're going. There's been many great books written. But there's only one Book in all the world that tells you where you come from, what you are, and where you're going. That's God's Word, the Bible. And every little text in the Bible will never perish, because it's God's Word. You can hang your soul on any phase of God's Word, any Scripture, any verse, or just one word. And sometimes one word changes a man's life.

L-15 Some time ago in Canada, the late King George was making a trip, a tour through Canada; and a very precious... Schools and so forth up there turned out to salute the king. And they give all the little children some flags, little British flags, to wave at the king. And after the king had passed through the street, the school children was supposed to turn back to the school. And in one school, all the children come back but one, and it was a--a little bitty girl. Why, the mot--the mother and the teacher was frantic. They were running through the streets everywhere, trying to find this little girl. And finally, standing by a telegraph pole with her little hands up like this, leaning against the pole, she was crying like her little heart would break. And the teacher ran to her, and picked her up in her arms, and she said, "Why are you crying, honey?" Said, "Did you not get to see the king?"
And she said, "Yes, teacher, I saw the king."
Well said, "Did you not get to wave your flag at the king?"
She said, "Yes, I waved my flag at the king."
And she said, "Well, why are you crying?"
She said, "You see, I'm so little. I saw the king, but the king didn't see me."
But it's not that way with Jesus. You can't do one little thing without Him knowing it. He hears the faintest cry. He's in every little word that He spoke.

L-16 And so the cry is, "Where is God?" We'll speak first on Him then in His universe, in nature. I wonder tonight how a man could look at the stars, and go out here to Mount Palomar, Mount Wilson, or where that great observatory is, where they claim they can see about a hundred and twenty million years of light space... I wonder how a man in his right mind could think of a hundred and twenty million years of light space and those stars turning in their orbits, what holds them up there? How is it that they can time the eclipse of the moon and the sun for twenty years ahead, so perfect that they don't miss a minute of the time. All the solar system works in perfect harmony with God. You wouldn't have to go very far to see God.

L-17 In our city there was a little boy who was in Sunday school, and he asked his mother one day after displaying his stars of being so regular at Sunday school. He said to his mother; he said, "Mama, if God is so great as they say He is, can anyone see Him?"
And the mother said, "Well, Junior, I was your place I would ask my Sunday school teacher." So he goes and asks the Sunday school teacher. And she says, "Junior, I--I cannot explain that; ask the pastor."
So he goes to the pastor and he asked him. And the pastor said, "Why, Junior, certainly no one can see God." Said, "No one could ever see God." But somehow that didn't satisfy that little mind.
