<TITLE>12. Par 35-39</TITLE>L-35 Now, when you're borned again, you don't have to be a hypocrite; you are a new creature. The gall of bitterness is--the desire of the world is taken from you.
"Oh, Thy love-kindness is better than life, because I long to see Thy power like I have seen in Thy sanctuary. My soul thirsts after Thee like a dry land where no water is." David was a shepherd. He was a woodsman. He knew the action of wildlife.
Now, we may have some hunter brothers in here. I am a hunter. And now, down in Africa, they have the deer, roebuck. Now, when they have wild dogs... We have them here called wolves. The deer feeds usually in a herd, and there's always a watchman on guard all the time, watching. You see, usually, they'll go out and keep on the alert. And usually, it's a doe, she's watching her young.

L-36 If some of our American mothers just kept on their guard with their daughters like the mother doe does her little fawn, we wouldn't have so much juvenile delinquency.
Then they... Notice, the wild dogs come after this deer, and they slip up real easy. The leader of the pack will slip up real easy, watching where the--the deers are. And if they can get a deer singled out, till he's so interested in what he's doing, he will never notice the dog coming up, 'cause the dog's smart, he will get the wind in his face, or the wolf. He will slip real easy. How many times have I watched them do it. And they'll slip up real easy, and they're watching. And after while, that little deer, senses in her begins to say that there's trouble near. Yet she can't smell the dog, neither can she see it. But she knows that's something wrong. Because she's a deer, and she knows that--where danger is.

L-37 And there's nobody ever deliberately walked into sin without God warning them first. Something will tell you. And tonight there's a many a young girl out listening, and the wolf slipping up on her. You know, they got what they call the wolf whistle. They... A wolf whistle. And they're whistling at these young girls. And they'll go out on the street and put on clothes that isn't becoming to a young lady. And shame on you mothers that'll let them do it.
Talk about the illiteracy of Kentucky where I come from: some of those old mammies up there... You let her girl go out and do that, she'd blister her from one side to the other with a barrel strap. That's right. But, oh, you think she's popular. You learn how to tap dance, and do all these little things, and put the clothes on her like, that and then she comes up in disgrace, you are to blame. That's exactly right.

L-38 What we need tonight is old fashioned mammies like we used to have in America. We need godly praying fathers and mothers, that'll take their children before God instead of some Elvis Presley show or something.
Whistles at the girls to make them turn around. They think they're cute. Honey, if you only realized that's a hound of hell! That's right.

L-39 Some of you young men... A little painted-up Jezebel out there, you think she's cute. She might be--look like that on the outside; you ought to catch her when her face is washed; you might not think so much about her. Maybe a heart in her that's as black as the smutty walls of hell. You can't tell... Don't look at that. That's old and will pass away.
Look for something that's real and genuine. See if that girl's borned again. If she isn't saved, then have nothing to do with her. And do the same thing by a young man.
The trouble our ranks of--of Christians today is breaking down, and marrying, and intermarrying, and it's such a mess till there's nothing could straighten it out. We're ripening for judgment. God will clean the whole thing off one of these nights with an atomic bomb. And your names is written on it in Russia now. And the whole world's trembling and wondering what's the matter. The wolf's slipping up. We've flirted too much of the rest of the world, with the things of the world.
