L-1 I thank you kindly, brethren. That's fine. That makes me feel real welcome and real nice. I don't know how I could feel any more welcome than you have made me feel this week since I have been here. So nice getting to meet everybody and--and I didn't have the opportunity to--to meet too many of the brethren, just one now and then. And so tonight, I lunged right down the line shaking hands with everybody.
(Say, by the way, come here, Brother Clibborn.) Becky, my little daughter way back there, this is Brother Booth-Clibborn, my old chum that wrote that famous song, "Down From His Glory." I have it sang everywhere. And I think when I die, if I'm still--not still living when Jesus comes, I want them to sing "Down From His Glory" for Him. Becky, this is Brother Booth-Clibborn, the one that wrote the song. My little girl, Becky, taking her piano lessons; that's the first song she learned, "Down From His Glory." God bless you, Brother Booth. Lots of good luck to you. God be with you.

L-2 Say, by the way, Brother Booth has said something and was wrote in making connections to maybe some of his friends here, that this week about, we was going to have a--the week long service. Well, the reason that Brother Booth was to take the afternoon service, see, we had to make it short, just three days. And so I had to take it myself. And I... You don't know how I felt, knowing that a minister that can preach in seven different languages, Greek and Hebrew, and I don't know good English; and I had to take his place. That was quite a let-down. My old Kentucky "his," and "hain't," and "tote," and "fetch," and "carry," don't sound like one of these clergyman. So...
But Dr. Lee Vayle, one of my associates, I--wants Brother Booth to come and something another about to get together, I want him to get his address about his teaching in Greek. I think about a man teaching in Greek, and I can't teach in English. So... But, you know, let Him that's taught in all good things communicate with Him that's... How is that? Goes something, a Scripture to that then.

L-3 And we're very happy to have our fellowship here together, and the blessings of God upon all. And this has been one of the finest cooperating bunch of man that I have ever had services with. And I believe that this is the beginning of something that's much larger than what we have here now, when men will come together, and no matter what their doctrine is, they'll just let down the fence lines, and fellowship one with another. There's only one God, and we worship that God. That's all. And if we were all going to Indiana in the morning at four o'clock with me, some might go in the Chevrolet, and I'm going in a Ford, and the next guy in a Buick, and the next... As long as we hit Georgia, Indiana, and keep going. That's the idea. And one car will take you same as the other. And that's the way it is now, I believe, is that... The main thing is get started right towards Glory. Keep going. That's good.

L-4 Now, the one great thing... Many people has misunderstood me when I talk of denominational barriers. It isn't that the denomination is wrong. But to build a fence around it, nobody else can fellowship; that's where the wrong part is. I think that God wants us... Well, what would it be if we didn't have denominations. You see? We have to have them. And they're God's plan. But the thing, when we come to think, "We are the only group," God goes right over here and blesses somebody else, and shows that we're not the only group. So, God works that way.
I'm so glad that He does, because we're all human beings, His creatures. And you know, as there's an old saying in Indiana. The old farmer said, "I'm glad everybody didn't see things alike, 'cause everybody wanted his wife." So, thought she was the prettiest woman in the world like he did. So that's a good idea that we'll have a--a variety.
