<TITLE>04. Par 11-12</TITLE>L-11 Some time ago I was watching, one day, of a picture of a lion slipping up on a lamb. And the little fellow got nervous, so he could not see the lamb--or the lion. But the lion could smell the lamb, and he was down, crunching up closer and closer to the little fellow in high grass. But the--the little lamb did not see the lion, but he had another sense, that just seemed to tell him, or warn him, that trouble was at hand. That's what's the matter with the nation today; that's what's the matter with the world today, even sinners, there's an unrest.
While I was out driving around today, coming down from South Mountain, I went out there to find the place I used to go pray. There's a housing project there now. And I... It's a good thing you preserved a few stalks of cactus, 'cause Arizona's gone; that's all of it. There's no more desert like the old prospector... I imagine there's not a wild burro left in--in the state of Arizona: got him in a pen somewhere, if there is. It's just all cut up in roads. The east has moved out here. Civilization's traveled this way, and everywhere it goes it pollutes the country. God... I'd like to live here when it was really Arizona and seen some of it's beauties.

L-12 Now, coming down, I tell you, I like to got run over three or four times, people shooting across the streets, and this a way and that way: a thirty mile zone doing sixty or seventy miles an hour, just barreling it, police stopping them, arresting them. Going right on just the same. Where they going? They don't know where they're going. I tell you; it pays to know where you're going. They're heading on somewhere, but they don't know where.
And brother, it's a unsettled peace everywhere. The nations are unsettled; the church don't know what to do; the people don't know what to do. It's unrest. What's the matter? It's oncoming judgment. You better hear me. Oncoming judgments...
We might put a Billy Graham in every state and have a revival day and night; it'll never bring her back again; remember that. It sure won't. She's headed for judgment; there's nothing else left. And then we wonder why we're so nervous and upset, why these insane institutions up here and different places are full. It's because of drinking, and sin, and nervousness, and whiskey, and routing, and night life, ignoring the Bible, ignoring God. Nervous, neurotic, breakdowns, the world's full of it. Penitentiaries are overloaded. Insane institutions, even the psychiatrist has to have treatments from one another. And we find them in the institutions. That's right.
And I learned the other day of certain movie stars and singers of these rock-and-roll parties, that one outstanding rock-and-roll boy has to have four psychiatrists with him all the time. Oh mercy, I'm glad that we got a Psychiatrist, the mind of Jesus Christ, the power of God, discerner of the thoughts of the soul. He's what follows the Christian. That's our consolation; that's our director.
