<TITLE>01. Par 1-4</TITLE>59-0815, As The Eagle Stirreth Up Her Nest, Miami Valley Chautauqua Campgrounds, Chautauqua, OH, 101 min
L-1 [Brother Sullivan reads Deuteronomy 32:1-12--Ed.] Thank you, Brother Sullivan. You may be seated. Thank you so much for that fine invitation to come back again and be on your fellowship here.
I would like to say, that I have never had a meeting at any time in my life that I have enjoyed any more than what I have this one. This... I didn't know that you had this wonderful lovely fellowship here in Ohio like this. And I'm so glad to be here with you.
And I certainly want to thank my gracious friend, Brother Sullivan, that I have learned to love as a Christian gentleman. I like a man that's just man.
Wife and I were in a little restaurant today, eating, and he came in. And after we had gone out, she said, "Brother Sullivan appears to be such a--just a real person."
I said, "That's the way I found him, just a real person."

L-2 God bless you, Brother Sullivan, and your little church. And the--you members of this church that's here, you're fortunate to have a pastor like Brother Sullivan. To you brothers here, I've never got to meet many of you that's cooperating here in the meeting. Each one knows your pastor, and these here. Your pastor, represented himself here, because that he believes in this kind of a ministry. So you be thankful for your pastor. And you should always be at your post of duty. Stand clear and clean for Jesus.

L-3 And I also want to thank this manager, whatever his title is, that let us have this Chautauqua grounds. This has been a nice meeting. That we have gathered here where it's cool, and in a building, it would have been so hot. But we had the privilege of setting under this canopy here. And so were very thankful to the man.
And all the brethren and sisters, and friends of mine from down home in Jeffersonville, and Louisville, and around, they tell me that they can get the finest meal here for about ninety cents, about one third of what you'd pay for a hotel room, they get it here, fine accommodations. They've got their skating rink and swimming pool so far back, that it doesn't interfere with the speaking service. It's a perfect place for this type of meeting.
We thank God that there's still open doors like this in America. And this is one of them. May it stand till Jesus comes for the same principles.

L-4 And now, for my wife, and all my staff, and myself, we appreciate your fine cooperation, and for the money that you have given, so it would be possible to pay off all the debts. Everything is clear, cleared up last night. And they told me they gave me a love offering tonight. I'm grateful for that. I never come for that. But I put that in on foreign missions.
I work on a salary from my church. I get seventy-six dollars a week after everything's taken out, from my church. A hundred dollars is what I'm allotted, fifty-two hundred a year. And the meetings, what the love offerings does, is going to foreign missions to help the heathen, where my heart... And when I get enough built up in a fund to send me overseas to preach, where I know that I'll have to answer at the day of judgment for what money the people give to me, then, I might give it to many fine societies: Red Cross, and all the others, and the Red Feather, and many missionary societies. But knowing that I'm going to have to answer for it... And I do not belong to any denomination, not because I don't believe in them, I do. But because I don't belong to them, it's that I can stand in between them all, and say we are brethren.
