<TITLE>05. Par 15-17</TITLE>L-15 I was thinking of my colored brother setting here, that's the pastor of that fine group of singers. A colored brother down in the south one time, they said he was carrying a Bible, and he couldn't even read one word. And they asked him, said, "Why are you carrying this Bible?"
He said, "I'm carrying It because I believe It." That's a good sign.
He said, "Well then, how do you know what it says?"
He says, "I can hear the others read it." And he said, "I believe every Word in it from civer to civer." And he said, "I believe the civer also because it's got Holy Bible wrote on it."
He said, "Do you believe all that's written in it?"
He said, "I believe everything that's written in it," and he said, "whatever the Lord would tell me to do, I'd do it."
He said, "Now, Mose, you know better then that." Said, "What if the Lord would tell you to jump through that stone wall, would you jump?"
He said, "Yes, sir, I would."
Said, "How you going to get through that stone wall, Mose?"
He said, "Well, if the Lord told me to jump, He'd have a hole there when I got there." So that's just about it. If the Lord told him to jump, He'd have the hole time he got there. How true that is.

L-16 Let's read now from the 36th verse of St. Luke.
 And, behold, thy cousin Elisabeth, she has also conceived a son in her old age: and this is the sixth month with her, which was called barren.
 For with God nothing shall be impossible.
 And Mary said, Behold the handsmaid of the Lord; be it unto me according to thy word. And the angel departed from her.

L-17 It must have been a... The sun was just rising, and was climbing up into the bright Judaean skies, as it was reflecting, its glistens over the Galilee, as the little maid was making her way down the street. She had a pitcher under her arm. It must've been Monday, just after the Sabbath, and she was on her way to the public well to get water for her day's supply. And she, as we look at her tonight, she's walking with her head down, she was no more than a child about eighteen years old. And she seemed to be studying in a deep study.
She was engaged to a young man by the name of Joseph. He was a carpenter, and he was building at this time a little house that had to have a special attention, because he and his lovely, little wife Mary, was to live in this house. And it had to have everything just special. Day by day she would come up while he was eating his lunch at noon hour and would talk to him, and how they would look over the plans of the house, and how the little doors was to be set in, and it was to be a special house.
And from where Mary lived, let's say it was just across the hillside, through the hollow and up over the hill. And on Sunday after the services, why, they would set out on the front porch after they had eaten their dinner and would look across on the other hill at the little bunch of evergreens and the little gables of the house sticking up, they would plan their future of what they were going to do.
